Voter Registration begins at home.

There are many quotable quotes that end with the three words . . .begins at home. For instance, "charity begins at home" "education begins at home" "safety begins at home". I got a new one for you to consider. "Voter registration begins at home".

Unfortunately for Sarah Palin, she has lost the benefit of a sure vote - her future son-in-law, her daughter's future husband, Levi Johnston, recently admitted to the press that he missed Wasilla's voter registration deadline and will not be able to vote for his own future Mother-in-law.

What?? You mean to tell me when Sarah Palin was tapped by John McCain to be his running mate she didn’t call a meeting of all extended family members to say “hey ya’ll I’m running for Vice-President of the United States of America, by the way, all ya’ll are registered voters right??” Rule #1 of running a business, family or even a whole county is to check yourself and your family to make sure that everybody is in at least minimal compliance with the basic stuff, that if skipped, could cause an embarrassing moment.

When John McCain had his staff vet his choice for VP they could have easily run down Sarah and Todd’s family tree and asked them a few of the same questions I'm sure they didn't fail to ask Obama, his family and associates:

not a druggie √

not a terrorist √

fit to lead or be a baby daddy √

current gun registration √

current hunting license √

not a member of the Alaskan Independence Party not sure

(note to self- look into this some more)

will support McCain/Palin ticket √

voter registration card √

How I Love the Sarah Palin Circus by achilles [Subscribe] Mon Sep 01, 2008 at 11:43:25 PM PDT

I'm a partisan Democrat and I'm proud of it. Today, I spent my Labor Day watching the Sarah Palin Circus on the TV. Republicans, so quick to condemn everyone, are now the ones standing on the edge of a teetering plank, ready to begin their Big Show. But the trapeze is blowing in a hurricane and the Family Values net is proving to be made from silly putty.

achilles's diary :: ::

No one in our political system is more righteous than a Republican with political leverage on some liberal accused of high moral failings. Most of the time, those high moral failings are the smallest of incidents, whipped up into a rampaging firestorm, a white hot Dresden-like frenzy of condemnation and outrage coming from the Right.

Already in this Presidential campaign we've seen it again and again, with Michelle Obama's supposed lack of patriotism, Barack's alleged ties to terrorists, the absence of a flag pin on his shirt. Such small little nits, which dispassionately and honestly amount to little more than a hill of beans, instead in the heat of moral outrage and righteous Conservative condemnation turn into leaping pyres burning from one end of the media dial to the other.

Now, with the appointment of Sarah Palin to be John McCain's Vice President, it's the Republicans who are caught in a growing firestorm of failings, taking punishment today for the same kind of political sins they so gleefully piled on to Democrats for in the past. Now that the political shoe is on the other foot, the airwaves are filled with the whines of Republican pundits, trying to scrap the moose pie mess from their Gucci shoes. The Sarah Palin circus has come to the Twin Cities and as a partisan Democrat I'm loving every minute of it.

John McCain has yet to admit it, but choosing Sarah Palin to be his V.P. was the political equivalent of Houdini shackling himself to concrete, then getting underwater and realizing he left the key in the glove box of the car. For Democrats, though, she's the gift that keeps on giving. Barack is taking the high road concerning Palin's 17-year old daughter and it's only right that he should do so. But after more than 10 years of Vince Foster Clinton murder madness, flying monkey assualts on Al Gore for "inventing" the internet, and more recently, the screaming hordes of Hannityites with torches and sickles in hand, howling at the moon over Jeremiah Wright, I'm ready to pop some popcorn and settle in for the gleeful ride of watching Sarah Palin self-destruct and take the Hindenburg GOP down with her.
