Sarah Palin has been campaigning in Maine, where she scolded Barack Obama for not disavowing a community activist group that registers voters.
The group known as ACORN – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – has drawn condemnation from the GOP ticket as its workers sign up voters in swing states. Nearly a dozen states and the FBI are looking into allegations of voter registration fraud.
Palin told about 6,000 people at Bangor International Airport that she feels right at home in Maine with all the steel-toed boots and NRA hats. She promised that she and John McCain would look out for the interests of the working class.

Note the doofus woman at the end of the video saying “I’m really glad I got to see her in person. I’ve only seen her on TV, and she didn’t seem to connect. I’m one of those Republican women who was on the fence over her…” ….she is lame brain but we still want her vote. haha

At a rally in Bangor, Maine, she praised the debate performance of her running mate, John McCain. Then the GOP vice-presidential candidate added to the growing conversation about Joe Wurzelbacher. He is the plumber from Ohio whose name was mentioned more than two dozen times by the presidential candidates in their final debate Wednesday night.
McCain, Palin said, is “a leader who’s going to Washington to work for Joe the Plumber.” She later added: “You know, we want to cut taxes because we think like Joe or Jane the Plumber thinks.”
Sarah brings up the OTHER Joe……Joe Biden, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate. “Our opponents want to raise taxes because they think like that other Joe, that six-term senator from Delaware whom I’m running against,” she said.

And this from N.C……………..

Palin says God blessed America with oil and gas
ELON, N.C.
(AP)
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Thursday that God blessed the nation with oil and gas resources and other forms of energy that should be tapped to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign suppliers.
The Alaska governor told supporters at Elon University that she and GOP presidential nominee John McCain will develop new energy sources.
“God has so richly blessed this land, not just with the oil and the gas, but with wind and the hydro, the geothermal and the biomass,” Palin said. “We’ll tap into those.”
Palin said some of the countries the U.S. relies on for energy use their resources “as a weapon.” And she said the billions spent each year on oil imports should be circulated within the country “for the sake of the nation’s security.”
“We need to drill here and drill now,” Palin said as the crowd chanted “drill baby, drill.” A protester at the back of the crowd shouted “No blood for oil.”

Palin’s message delights crowd of 15,000 at Elon
The Times News.com
ELON – Resplendent in GOP red heels, Sarah Palin toed the platform above home plate at Latham Park at Elon University and hammered home a low-taxes, small-government, pro-family, pro-America message to the delight of a large crowd.
Palin said Obama and Biden “think that government is the solution.
“I disagree with that. I think that government too often is the problem,” she continued. “And we need government put back on your side so that our businesses and our families can keep more of what they produce and earn, and then you prioritize, you reinvest … that is how jobs are created and our economy gets moving again.”
In this election you have a choice between inspiring words and inspiring and trustworthy deeds that come from John McCain,” she said. “Now North Carolina, I’m here to ask you – are you ready to help us carry this state to victory? Are you ready to make John McCain the next president of the United States?”
The crowd frequently interrupted her speech with full-throated approval, hoisting signs, waving pompoms and chanting “USA, USA …. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah” and “Drill, baby, drill.”

‘Sarah-liscious’: Seen at the Palin rally Thursday
the times news.com
ELON, N.C.
Like her or not, few would call Sarah Palin boring.
That made for unusually colorful campaign buttons, T-shirts and signs at her political rally at Elon University on Thursday.
Many focused on the former beauty queen’s physical appearance. Others played on the self-proclaimed hockey mom’s convention acceptance speech joke that “lipstick” is the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull.
Here’s a sampling:
— “I’m proud to be voting for the Hot Chick!” This bold statement on a campaign button was accompanied by a photo of Palin from her time as Miss Wasilla, the Alaska town where she was later mayor.
— Along similar lines, one campaign button proclaimed Palin “The Hottest VP from the Coolest State.”
— “Sarah-liscious,” accompanied by the image of a lipstick print.
— “Vote for the Man with the Lipstick-Wearing Pitbull.”
— “Read My Lipstick.”
— “Sarah Barracuda,” a reference to Palin’s nickname earned by her aggressive high school basketball play.
— “You Go, Girl!” seen on campaign buttons and signs.
— NObama. No explanation needed.
— “Drill, baby, drill!” a reference to the McCain-Palin campaign’s emphasis on finding new domestic oil.
— “Mothers of 5 rock,” seen on a sign one woman held up. As you’d guess, that’s the number of children Pain has.
— “Extra chromosome equals extra love,” written on a sign Palin mentioned seeing in the crowd while giving her speech. She and her husband’s youngest son was born this year with Down Syndrome.
— Five Elon students painted their chests to spell Palin’s last name. (Yes, they were male). Five students from Alamance Christian School were a little less bold, spelling her name with letters painted on T-shirts.
— Political items on sale at the rally included decks of playing cards featuring mostly Republican political figures. But Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is the joker in each deck.

Wild Thing’s comment………..
Sarah’s crowds are always so great, huge and they all love her just like we all do. I am so proud of her, thank you God for our VP candidate.
I just love it. Finally, somebody is speaking up for the old “Silent Majority” which has been mercilessly abused culturally and fiscally by leftist politicians for 40 years. Her message is really resonating with Americans who treasure the land that is almost lost. A simple message, too – smaller government and no terrorist pals in the WH.
