Title: Liberals Hate Palin Because She’s Beautiful
Source: [None]

Liberals have never liked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. They don’t like that she didn’t go to an Ivy League school, that she doesn’t follow the usual protocol of not speaking until a liberal says it’s okay to do so, and that she chose to carry her Down Syndrome baby to term instead of aborting it. (That last one really drives them crazy.)

They dislike her political support for smaller government, tax cuts, and a strong military. They are outraged by her ongoing push for drilling in ANWR, her participation in hunting sports, and the fact that she’s a card-carrying, Life Member of the NRA.

But all these reasons are trumped by the fact that they despise her beauty. It pushes them over the edge to know that she doesn’t just shoot an assault rifle, but makes an assault rifle look good when shooting it.

This was obvious when she was running for Vice President on the McCain ticket and it became known that she’d taken part in beauty pageants to get money to pay college tuition. How dare her that she is not only beautiful, but she used that beauty for profit.

It was even more obvious when she was criticized for allegedly spending $150,000 on her wardrobe during the presidential campaign. While I’m not saying that’s not a lot of money, I’ll never forget how the press fawned over Michelle Obama and relished the opportunity to proudly report the outrageous price of every piece of clothing she wore.

The double standard resides here: When Palin dresses in nice clothes reporters act like she’s being ostentatious, but when Mrs. Obama does it reporters are taken aback by her glamour. Yet the dirty little secret is that Palin could don a $90.00 dress from Wal-Mart and steal the show from a diamond covered Mrs. Obama any day, and the media knows it.

The coverage of Palin’s trip to this year’s Belmont Stakes proved the hatred for her beauty all over again as media outlets like the Boston Herald seized on the fact that she wore jeans, a “form-fitting T-shirt,” and a baseball cap to the track. The T-shirt alone caused bitter bloggers to ponder whether the former governor had had some type of cosmetic surgery performed. (To them, it’s just not fair that she looks so good all the time.)

So when a Keith Olbermann-type moron refers to Palin as an “idiot” again, or a Chris Matthews-type repeats his belief that she’s “frightening,” we just need to remember that the left criticizes that which they fear. We also have to keep in mind the fact that all the names they throw at Palin are really code words for “Dang, that woman looks good.”

And who can blame them for noticing? After all, since the 1930s they’ve spent their time supporting women who looked like Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Tipper Gore, and Elena Kagan.

Suffice it to say there isn’t a lot of pinup potential in that list.

Things would go a lot easier if liberals would just admit Palin is not only conservative but also beautiful. And while they’re admitting that, they should also take the advice one of my friends frequently gives me when he says, “Hawkins, don’t be a hater."

So your failure to provide a correct link to an old article is now my fault.

Typical Libtard thinking. Think maybe I skimmed it and didn't bother with the details, women changing clothes aren't really my game.

I'm not an Eagles football player with a hole in the wall to watch the cheerleaders changing.

What a miserable ignorant lying bitch you are HAG.

Under the repukelican'ts NO federal monies were allowed to be spent on ABORTIONS and the shrub himself stopped the use of federal money to support ABORTIONS outside of this country as so called "aid".

But, just to show what a stupid ignorant libTURD HAG you are, lets stipulate for the sake of argument that what you say is true, (which it is NOT).

So F ing what moron?

If your neighbor has been murdering babies for decades, and getting away with it; does that make murdering babies "OK"? Will you then join in the murdering of babies you ignorant slut HAG?

You are really a pathetic excuse for a "human" being HAG, and a libTURD mouth breathing moron to boot.

" NEWS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 9, 2004

Bush's abortion funding President Bush deceives Americans in presidential debate: taxpayers ARE funding abortions -with his signature on (Health and Human Services) HHS Appropriations bills!

Second Presidential Debate, October 8 - Bush/Kerry

Washington University in St. Louis St. Louis, MO Friday, October 8, 2004

Audience Question: "... suppose you are speaking with a voter who believed abortion is murder and the voter asked for reassurance that his or her tax dollars would not go to support abortion, what would you say to that person?

[pro-abort John Kerry answered first]

then selective pro-abort George W. Bush answered:

Bush: "... My answer is, we're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion." http://www.allamericanpatriots.com

Reaction to President Bush's statement, "we're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion", by Steve Lefemine, Constitution Party candidate for US Congress, District # 2 in South Carolina:

"President Bush has lied to the American people on a national stage. With 25 days until the November 2 election, he is perpetuating a myth for the ears of his conservative Christian base, that George W. Bush is pro-life.

As a Christian pro-life missionary, lobbyist, and candidate for public office, let me say clearly to Christian pro-lifers across this country, George W. Bush is NOT Pro-Life!

As documented below, George W. Bush has been funding abortion throughout his presidency. He is funding selected surgical abortions, chemical abortions, and the nation's largest chain of abortion centers and perpetrators of abortion in America, namely, Planned Parenthood. On November 2, Christian pro-lifers should not waste their vote on abortion-funder and abortionist-funder George W. Bush. The only 100% pro-life candidate for U.S. President on the ballot, and he's on the ballot in at least 37 states, is Michael Peroutka, Constitution Party!"

Here is the documentation that President Bush has been funding selected surgical abortions, and chemical abortion, and Planned Parenthood (nation's largest chain of child-murder-by-abortion centers) throughout his presidency:

1) President Bush is funding surgical abortions via Medicaid (Title XIX) in the HHS Appropriations bills: [see bills below at http://thomas.loc.gov] Check out HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on Jan. 10, 2002

Check out HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on Jan. 23, 2004

2) President Bush is funding chemical abortions via Medicaid (Title XIX) and the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding program: [see bills below at http://thomas.loc.gov] Check out HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on 1/10/2002

Check out HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on 1/23/2004

3) President Bush is funding the nation's largest perpetrators of child-murder-by-abortion, Planned Parenthood (report murdering over 200,000 unborn children annually by surgical abortion alone), through both Medicaid (Title XIX) and Title X, with OVER $50 MILLION per year through each program: [see bills below at http://thomas.loc.gov] Included in HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush (PL 107-116) on 1/10/2002

Included in HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush (PL 108-109) on 1/23/2004

4) President Bush has increased the Title X funding levels over $26,000,000 more than the last Clinton budget: The Title X funding level for FY 2001, the last Clinton-influenced budget, was a total of $254 million, of which over $58 million went to planned parenthood

In FY 2002, George W. Bush's first full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased over 11,000,000, to $265 million (HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush on 1/10/2002)

In FY 2004, George W. Bush's most recently completed full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased even more to $280 million, over $26,000,000 ($26 million) more than Bill Clinton's last budget year! (HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush on 1/23/2004)

Conclusion # 1: George W. Bush did not speak the truth to Americans last night (10/8/04) in the Second Presidential Debate.

Conclusion # 2: George W. Bush is NOT Pro-LIfe!

October 9, 2004 Steve Lefemine Constitution Party candidate for US House Second District (SC)

(Part 1b BUSH'S ABORTION FUNDING, cont'd)

Part 2 is Medicaid surgical abortion funding; Part 3 is Planned Parenthood funding"

"Medicaid abortions

BUSH'S ABORTION FUNDING, cont'd: Part 2 of 3-part report: Funding for selected Medicaid abortions

Follow-up to October 9 "Bush's abortion funding" report:

Part 2 of 3-part report: Funding for selected Medicaid abortions is

REQUIRED in HHS Appropriations bills - or else states threatened by federal government with loss of other Medicaid funds; thanks to votes of Republican-majority Congress, and signature of President Bush

[Part 1 is Title X (ten) funding; Part 3 is Planned Parenthood funding]

___________________________________________________________

The Lie:

President Bush deceives Americans in presidential debate: taxpayers are funding abortions - with his signature on HHS Appropriations bills!

When responding to an audience question about taxpayers' money being used to support abortion during the Second Presidential Debate on October 8, President Bush gave this deceptive, deceitful, false response:

BUSH: "My answer is, we're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion." (See: transcript)

___________________________________________________________

The Truth:

Three Ways Taxpayers' Money Is Being Used to Support Abortion:

As reported at Covenant News on October 9, there are three ways that taxpayers' money is being used to "support abortion," as the question from the audience was presented during the October 8 Presidential Debate, and to which President Bush gave a false answer:

BUSH: "My answer is, we're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion." (See: transcript)

1. President Bush is funding selected surgical abortions via Medicaid (Title XIX)

2. President Bush is funding chemical abortions via both Medicaid (Title XIX) and via the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding program

3. President Bush is funding Planned Parenthood, the largest perpetrators of child-murder-by- abortion in the United States (Planned Parenthood reports murdering over 200,000 unborn children annually by surgical abortion alone), through both Medicaid (Title XIX) and Title X, with over $50 million per year through each program, for a total of over $100 million per year, just through these two Planned Parenthood funding mechanisms

___________________________________________________________

Immoral

All of this surgical abortion, chemical abortion, and Planned Parenthood funding is buried in the grotesquely huge U.S. Health and Human Services Appropriations bills that Congress and the President break their oaths of office by voting for and signing each year.

Unconstitutional

In addition to being immoral by funding surgical abortion, chemical abortion, birth control for unmarried adolescents even if their parents object, and child-murderering-abortionists (i.e. Planned Parenthood), the bills are entirely unconstitutional, full of "pork" funding of local projects, and examples of creeping socialism in America that the Republican-majority Congress has voted to pass, and the Republican President has signed into law to authorize these evil and immoral expenditures.

This report documents the funding

In order to assist interested Christians and pro-lifers who wish to document for themselves the claims of federal government support of abortion with American's tax dollars, in direct conflict with the false claim made by President Bush to a national audience on October 8, this report is Part 2 of a 3-part report, and will document the funding authorization language for selected Medicaid abortions in the FY 2002 and FY 2004 Health and Human Services Appropriation bills.

Part 2 of 3-part report: Funding for selected Medicaid abortions is REQUIRED in HHS Appropriations bills -or else states threatened by federal government with loss of other Medicaid funds; thanks to votes of Republican-majority Congress, and signature of President Bush

Limitation on abortion funding in SEC. 508, Does Not Apply In These Cases:

From SEC. 509:

SEC. 509. (a) The limitations established in the preceding section shall not apply to an abortion--

"(1) if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or (2) in the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed."

This is from TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS of the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002 (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate).

The net effect and practical consequence of this abortion-funding language is that the federal government requires states accepting medicaid funding to kill unborn children in the cases where the baby was conceived in a case of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk. Medicaid is a co-mingled federal/state dollars federal program.

If a state tries to pass state appropriations legislation to prevent the use of state-level tax dollars from being used to kill unborn babies in these selected cases via Medicaid, then the state risks losing Medicaid funding from the federal government in other, unrelated Medicaid programs.

BUSH: "My answer is, we're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion." (See: transcript)

Conclusion # 1: George W. Bush did not speak the truth to Americans on October 8 in the Second Presidential Debate.

Conclusion # 2: George W. Bush is NOT Pro-LIfe!

What is the practical effect in terms of children murdered annually?

Even pro-aborts know that Medicaid is being used to fund selected abortions: http://www.righttochoose.org/abstats.htm

PUBLIC FUNDING: U.S. Congress has barred use of federal funds to pay for abortions for Medicaid- eligible women except when the woman’s life is threatened or in cases of rape and incest. 16 states, including New Jersey, use their own funds for abortions for low-income women. 14% of all abortions were paid for with public funds, almost all being state funds.

___________________________________________________________

As an example, North Carolina's Right to Life group knows it also: http://www.ncrtl.org/statistics.htm

A History of the North Carolina State Abortion Fund

In 1995, this fund was reduced to $50,000, with stipulations on its use. Prior to this time, there were virtually no restrictions on the use of taxpayers' money in funding abortions. In 1997 public funds (including federal Medicaid) paid for 5 abortions to preserve the woman's life, 59 abortions for the case of rape, and 2 abortions for the case of incest. In the 1999-2000 budget, the abortion fund remains at $50,000, with the restrictions placed on this fund in 1995 kept in tact.

___________________________________________________________

In South Carolina, I have worked since 1997 to de-fund abortion funding in the SC state budget. Figures provided by the SC Department of HHS show:

FY 2002-2003 - Medicaid (Title XIX) was used to fund 13 abortions FY 2001-2002 - Medicaid (Title XIX) was used to fund 18 abortions FY 2000-2001 - Medicaid (Title XIX) was used to fund 18 abortions

Question: How many murders does one have to commit to be a murderer? Answer: One ___________________________________________________________

The national figure for the total number of surgical abortions (not even counting the number of chemical abortions) funded by Medicaid is not available as of this writing. However, the average for SC in the three state fiscal years above was just over 16 Medicaid abortions per year.

South Carolina ranked 38th lowest in the nation in 1996 for its abortion rate per 1,000 women, and in 2000 had a population just over 4 million, when the nation's population was over 281 million. Doing the math, that comes out to a conservative estimate of 1,100 plus unborn human beings that are murdered each year with federal tax dollars through the Medicaid program, as authorized by the Republican-majority US Congress, and the so-called "pro-life" Republican President, George W. Bush.

George W. Bush is NOT Pro-Life.
