There are a lot of porn companies out there trying to capitalize on the current mania of searching out video about Sarah Palin, including a few that make themselves look like YouTube sites. If you're looking for such stuff, do yourself a favour and only look via links provided by bloggers you know and trust.

Just a friendly reminder.

Who's Sarah Palin? (serious question)

seconded - never heard of her

McCain's pick to be VP.  She's fairly conservative and kind of good looking for her age.

thought you were talking about Michael Palin....

McCain???
Arent that frensh fries you can make at home??

So who did Obama pick?

Quote - So who did Obama pick?

Joe Biden from Delaware

Quote - > Quote - So who did Obama pick?

Joe Biden from Delaware

Thank goodness he didn't pick the other one! She's annoying as all heck!  LOL

Obama didn't pick, he was "encouraged" to choose Biden.

Quote - Obama didn't pick, he was "encouraged" to choose Biden.

Whatever the means to a positive outcome is what is important :)  Encouraging is good, lol

* She's fairly conservative and kind of good looking for her age.

*I heard she was once almost miss Alaska ( second in place I believe), I would vote for her if I was an american (for miss alaska of course, not as vice-president)

*McCain???
Arent that frensh fries you can make at home??

LOL!

*thought you were talking about Michael Palin....

*Now that's someone who should be president, at last he has seen something of the world, with John Cleese as running gag..
..Oh  they are british, aren't they"?

Bopper.

I voted for Hillary, and as a Hillary supporter I am DEEPLY insulted by McCain's choice for Veep.

Hillary has spent her life in public service. She is a Rhodes Scholar. She is a 2 term Senator. A 2 term First Lady. An activist for mother's rights and universal healthcare. She's a leader of a major political party.  Hillary EARNED respect.   McCain's VP pick doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Hillary. 

I saw a interview with McCain's pick on TV last night. She was giggling and laughed that she didn't even know what Vice President's job was.

OMG..... You do you realize that McCain just turned 72, and if he died while serving as President, this giggling former beauty pagent contestant right-wing extremist who's in-bed with Big Oil would become President of the United States and LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD!???  OO!!!!!

I know some Hillary voters who were still weavering on their vote, but now McCain has just handed their votes to solidly Obama. There is no contest anymore.  

(p.s. I have no doubts about Obama's leadership, he is great, but I was convinced there was going to be a Obama/Hillary ticket after I saw Obama's keynote address in 2004 and Hillary's announced him as, "I know how to pick them." I didn't think Hillary had all the qualities one needs to be president but I thought voting for her could improve her chances for the Veep spot.)

fyi, Here's the scoop on McCain's VP pick:

Quote - Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background: 
 

She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1 

 

Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2 

 

She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. 3 

 

Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.4 

 

She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.5 

 

She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6

 

How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.7

 

Alaska MoveOn members wrote in thoughts to MoveOn about their governor:

 

She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK

 

She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK

 

As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK

 

Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK

She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK

 

I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK

 

So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced.

 

In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country.

Well, it was either her or paris hilton. 

To be honest I can't stand Obama, as he is too progressive (read facist/socialst/communist) and doesn't get the principles the US was founded on.

Some counter-points about Palin:

1.  Barak Obama has one year in the senate and spent the next two running for president.  His foriegn policy experience consists of a few speeches to anti-US crowds overseas.

2.  Being strong pro-life is fine if you believe that someone else is a living being.  She does, so you need to understand that from her perspective, there's a group of people who are being denied their basic rights as humans.  Hopefully she'll apply that fight to all humans.  But then again, maybe men should be able to choose that women don't have the right to work or vote.  Maybe the goverment should be able to choose you have no rights to you life, you liberty, or your property and they own everything and you are their slave. Maybe people should be able to choose to keep others as slaves and treat them like property.

Yeah, freedom of choice for the sake of freedom of choice is such a great thing.

3.  Buchanan wouldn't have gone into Iraq.  Yeah he's a bit nutty at times, but he's reliable in his nuttiness.

4.  If schools are allowed to teach atheism, agnotism, enviromentalism, or the religion where the state itself is the religion, I think creationism is fine.

1. Weather we are or not is reguardless (pun intended), to be honest there's too much bull-poop on all sides to know the truth or to waste a trillion dollars to reduce the temperature 1 degree 100 years from now.  65 million years ago, the planet was a lot warmer than it is today.  Obviously us warm-blooded mammals caused global cooling in order to get a leg up and need to be elminiated.

6.  We can't switch over to non-oil yet.  No one wants nuclear power and enviromentalists won't even allow tranmission lines from wind or solar.  And the polar bear population has been going up in recent years, its listing was purely for political reasons.  Right now, we need oil, that fact is inescapable.  Better to have someone support drilling than someone who's happy gas is at $4 but sad it went up that quick.  Alternative energy has to come later and it has to be efficient and affordable.

BTW, the best thing I've seen so far is biofuel from algae.  It'll cost the consumer about 2 bucks a gallon to make, but it's doable.

7.  McCain likes to make waves.  Maybe he's just being the maverick that the left likes him to be.  I honestly think that washington is getting so bad someone with no political experience and is a normal person is better than someone who's been in politics forever. 

BTW, don't quote from a far left-wing hate site or a far right one.  The people there are set in their ways and are so close minded the truth is irrelevant.  Do independant research and form your own opinion.

Thanks for the heads up seanmartin.

"She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000."

*Is that this Pat Buchanan?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcnksZ4FL3Q

*"McCain's VP pick doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Hillary."

*I quite agree. Everything Sarah Palin has achieved (including more executive experience than all the others on the tickets combined - with an 80+ approval rating) has been down to her own efforts and skills. Everything Hillary Clinton has achieved has been a result of being Mrs Bill Clinton.

*"You do you realize that McCain just turned 72, and if he died while serving as President, this giggling former beauty pagent contestant right-wing extremist who's in-bed with Big Oil would become President of the United States and LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD!??? "

*OK, so she's funny and attractive. I can see why people with Hillary C and Nancy Pelosi as female political icons would want to demean these qualities.

She's in bed with a big oil man, a Native American blue collar union member. She supports the utilization of natural resources and, sadly, the notion of "windfall tax" on profits.

As part of her right-wing extremism she ensured that state employees in same-sex civil unions received the same benefits as married couples.

I'll admit she hasn't written multiple autobiographies, even though she's into her 40s already. This could be an issue.

I've always reckoned that the first woman president and the first black president of the USA would be conservatives (as with Margaret Thatcher here in the UK). Still think so.

*"There is no contest anymore."

*Rather usefully, there is. It's called the election. A very entertaining one it's turning out to be, too.

Perhaps I'm more cynical than political, now.  As such, I won't play favorites left or right on an open forum seeing if I can fan a flamefest into anything more than that about politics.

I live in the United States and WHOEVER ends up president will have the most messed up situation in the history of this country to straighten out.  Housing prices are dropping like a slippery barracuda, many banks teeter on the edge of collapse. Health care costs have exploded like a super-nova and people are living on the streets that owned their own homes last week.

Since the removal of the anti-usury laws under Reagan, that were NOT re-institued when the Clintons had the chance to do so, predatory lending practices have become the norm.  Also as a result of this, the greatest transfer of wealth in human history has taken place from the lower classes and the mythical middle classes of America, to the the most highest class.

The top 1% of America owns around 88% of the real wealth in the country. A similiar situation (BUT not as extreme situation) existed in Czarist Russia, and Pre-Revolution France.  Only because America IS such a rich country has no-one really noticed.

Until NOW. Niether McCain, nor Obama have pushed forward anything useful to really deal with the situation.  $4 a gallon gas was the tipping point. Now Food, rent, energy costs, housing start-ups, and shipping costs are shooting up uncontrolably and I'm watching friends losing their homes and starving in the street because of this.

One of the dyed-in-the-wool oil men, T.Boone Pickens have broken with the oil lobby and is advocating using wind power,tide power, and geo-thermal to power the electrical grid, and using natural gas to power automobiles to give us time to come up with better ways of handling the power catastrophe in our faces.  Well--good for him!  Someone trying to think out of the box.

The clock is ticking. McCain doesn't impress me because if he voted with Bush 90% of the time, and Bush was wrong most of the time....well, we have a saying here in the south: "If he's lost ALL the time, don't try to follow him out of a burning house." :laugh:

If Obama is progressive, isn't that better than anti-progressive, or regressive? :lol:

Terms of political crap aside--If someone doesn't DO something REALLY BIG, America may collapse into a depression or something worse in the next four to eight years. Partisanship is destroying the country.

I did watch the Democratic convention and the ONLY people that impressed me were the four or so "REAL PEOPLE" they had talk.!

I'd be in favor of BARNEY SMITH for president!  Barney Smith before Smith Barney!  People's rights before Business's rights! :laugh:  He made a HELL a lot more sense than Ralph Nader. :lol:

 You think the next president is inheriting a mess?  What about Washington?  Andrew Johnson sure found a mess with Lincoln's assassination.  Nixon got LBJ's mess but he probably deserved that.  Reagan got Carters toilette.  Historically, the next President has a cake walk.  Time will tell. 

"As such, I won't play favorites left or right on an open forum...
...
...the greatest transfer of wealth in human history has taken place from the lower classes and the mythical middle classes of America, to the the most highest class."

Okaaay...

*"...I'm watching friends losing their homes and starving in the street because of this."

• Just watching? You should take video and sell it to fund more Poser content.

"Barney Smith before Smith Barney!" was the best line at the convention. They talked about him on Washington Week too.  He is very famous now. ^^

I agree, it's VERY serious what happens in this next election.

Whatever your political leanings, I really do think people should be well informed with the truth, and then be trusted to be able make up their own minds for themselves about where they want the country to go and who they want to be their leader.

There hasn't been a Presidential election yet where I go to the polls feeling 100% about who I vote for, every flaw a candidate has is exposed. You have to think about it and make a choice. I registered to vote after Hurricane Andrew. There was no way in hell I would ever vote for Bush senior's re-election after what happened to the people in South Florida. It was a national shame. And I was an Independent voter up until Katrina. I'm not on the fence anymore after 12 years of Bush(s). The government's job is to protect America, and that doesn't just include terrorists, but natural threats and economic threats too. As someone who lives in a Hurricane zone, I can not trust the future to someone who doesn't understand how serious a threat hurricanes are to where I live, and how serious a threat off-shore drilling is to tourism. The last 8 years are proof positive that I can't trust someone who's on the payroll of Big Oil to make the right choices for America.

And that's all I'm going to say on the election.

zips mouth shut

My own feelings -- and I'll leave them at just this:

We had three final candidates for president this year, and none of them measure up to anything beyond a talking head. None came to the people with anything more substantive than "we need change!", without really saying what that change was supposed to be and how it would be accomplished. It was just more words, in a society already top heavy with non-information overload.

Out of a country of 350 million people, these three were the best we could do.

I think that says more right there than anything else one can imagine.

{JOKE}

This is all about who the colonials are going to elect as the leader of "The Free World" right?

I'd suggest you all (y'all?) need to sit down with a nice, calming, cup of tea and think about your choices...but I'd hate to see it wasted in Boston harbour again. ~lmao~

{/JOKE}

That's right! Go ahead and snicker at the predicament we're in. Who would YOU vote for given the lousy choices we've been given. I agree with Sean! Not one of them has voiced any real concrete ideas on how to change things for the better. I'm writing in Ron Paul! I don't care if he did drop out!

 Ron Paul is interesting. Can we vote for him to replace Helicopter Ben?  -^

Politics...
cough...  
I think I have a hairball coming...

cough   cough...    

I think I'd rather go eat some hairball paste...

Isn't Ron Paul related to Rue Paul? :laugh:

Mrs "BJ" Clinton would never have got the job, no-one will ever forget or let her forget that she had the wool pulled over her eyes by her husband who played away from home & lost the job she was trying to get.

I am always amazed at those who live fat, dumb and happy never thinks there are problems others face it's always there fault or of it doesn't affect me who give a shit. It always nice to see elected officials that are suppose to serve the people who elected them live better than the people they are suppose to be helping and some don't find this a problem?

Someone in this thread eluded to the Founding Fathers if they were to be alive today they would have been arrested as enemy combatants and sitting in a cell down at Gitmo. Far too radical were the fathers of this nation.

I will say and say it again and I don't care if it falls on deaf ears or of the know it alls poo poo it as long as the people of this nation continues to settle for two corrupt political parties and except that this is how it is then we deserve what we get. Thank goodness the founding fathers did not accept business as usual.

Also just a note, if being in the military gives one the qualification to be Commander-in-Chief you are mistaken I spent 22 years in the military of this nation and served under officers who were complete idiots and did not have one idea what it meant to be a good leader.

We need change but I feel we are not going to get it on any level going down this road.

Hi gang, guess I'll dive into this too.  If you want an unbiased review of the candidates (well, as unbiased as anything can be) go to ontheissues.org and read the accomplishments of all the candidates.  Don't let the phrase  "this is what we should do or what I'm going to do"  cloud your mind.  You can have several pages of what we should do--talk is extremely cheap, actions, accomplishments are what are important.  Jan 

 I did some quick research:

1. she ain't related to michael palin
2. she likes to shoot mooses (meese), wolves and such from aircraft with full-auto weapons
3. some legal troubles are coming up that may force her to withdraw :crying:

having left these forums the other day, I can't say too much of my usual deep and substantial political views, other than to say the only way I would vote for McCain is if someone forces a pen into my dying fingers and moves my hand to mark an X on his ballot.

Obama ? 

I voted for myself last time, and Mickey Mouse the election prior to that.

What we need in the USA is a complete washout of the current political system...

GONE...all the corrupt paid for senators and congressmen
GONE...all the lobbyists and PACS
GONE.. all the warmongering idiots that are afraid to even say the word peace
GONE...all those that forget the American public are supposed to be running this country. Obviously we are speaking when the pres and congress have a pretty low approval raitng. But then why do we continue to vote for people like GW?
The media blasts the independents right out of ther water...no coverage, no time...
GONE..the government and big business controlled media
GONE..corporate control
GONE all the subsidies to the oil comanies and big business
GONE..all the tax breaks for the rich...they will pay social security tax on all income.
GONE ..all the tax breaks for the wealthy business tycoons and the businesses wallowing in obscene profits...

GONE...me.I was supposed to be gone before..shit..I need to quit reading these forums.

I like Ike!!!!! :O)

per your original observation; I heard that within 2 hours of the announcement there was already a site called 'vpmilf', or something like that.

Looks like no matter what, either an African American or a Woman will be in the Executive branch...;)

I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes...;)

remember, not matter whatever happens come November, the media 'told you so'..;)

This is one time I'm glad I don't have cable...;)

"2. she likes to shoot mooses (meese), wolves and such from aircraft with full-auto weapons"

Is that true? I knew she enjoys moose hamburgers, but I was hoping that if she had to be a hunter, she'd at least face whatever it was she was hunting. Not that it matters, she lost me as soon as she approved of teaching creationism, but hunting defenseless animals from a helicopter...eh, I'd better shut up for everyone's sake.    ;)

And here I am thinking that Dan Farr from DAZ3D was running for president......

While were talking Election on the Poser forum and with all these sales going on, I got one more to pass along...

Right now over at 9mbi.com, if you register and buy one item in the first 24 hours, you get 2 items for free. (If you buy 2, you get 4).

I went crazy in the site's Elections theme section and picked up so much stuff. heeheeh waves flag

But seriously, site's the original figures are amazing good! The textures are high res and come with bump and specular. The facial expressions are also really good. There are a variety of P6 Material Shaders options. Character poses. And hair and/or Dynamic hair.  Clothes are sold separate, but if you buy a figure, you can get clothes to go with it.  Win!!!   ^o^/

DazStudio Users Note:  

You will need to convert the PMDs and Shaders to DS. Also, the P6 Dynamic Hair on the guys will not work on DS, but you won't miss it, the head textures come with hair.

Okay, now here's what you do for some Veep Madness renders:

1. Get the V4 Election Suit, make a Palin character and give her a shotgun

2. Get McCain and pretend it's Cheney (or make your own Cheney), give him a shotgun.

3. Now set them loose and let the mayhem begin!!

ehhehehehehheheheh  -^

It's actually a very serious warning. A friend of mine found his harddrive swamped with virii that set up shop courtesy one of the insta-porn sites he'd accidently gone to in his looking around for info about Ms. Palin. He's not sure he'll be able to ever clean them all out.

Just letting everyone know...

(PS: I think I'm constitutionally obliged to call him "Bliar". It's like writing M$ for Microsoft.)

Quote - Wow, did he have the usual stuff running in the background (anti virus, firewall)?

I would assume so: he's an IT guy who knows about this stuff. From what he said, all it took was a single piece of code that then turned around and opened the door for everything else. He said he'd never seen anything quite so pervasive.

Sean, maybe he should back up his info, wipe the HD and reinstall everything.  It is a real pain, but better than having viruses on your PC and stealing your CC info from online purchases.  Anyways, sounds like a nasty virus so it might be the best option.  Who knows what else got put on his machine that he doesn't even know about.  Hopefully he didn't have any rootkits installed on him.

BTW, was he running his computer in admin mode or as an ordinary user at the time?  I heard it's best not to run in admin mode because it gives you a little more security.
