The truth about Sarah Palin's candidates

Since we launched our Sarah Doesn’t Speak for Me campaign last week, we’ve received an incredible response: so many have agreed with us that Palin’s voice should not go unchallenged. However, some have fairly wondered: why give Sarah Palin more attention?

Michele Bachmann doesn't speak for me either

Here we go ladies and gentlemen; the fight for Minnesota's sixth congressional district is officially on. Michele Bachmann, the champion of the Tea Party Caucus, defender of the radical right, and leader of all things anti-choice has released her first ad attacking EMILY's List-endorsed candidate Tarryl Clark. It is no surprise that the ad targets fiscally responsible, results-focused Tarryl, and promises more attack ads "coming soon."

Sarah Palin doesn't speak for me

Tags: Sarah Palin, Mama Grizzlies, 2010 Elections, Stephanie's Take, Stephanie Schriock, Women leaders

Sarah Palin has been busy since she abruptly left the governors office in Alaska. She's endorsed 49 candidates this year. She's given speeches and produced a video predicting a rising tide of women voters supporting the radical, right-wing candidates she's campaigning for. For too long, Sarah Palin has been unchecked in her claim that she speaks for America's women as she attempts to impose a radical, backward thinking, anti-choice agenda in this country.

Enough of the violent rhetoric

By Lisa McIntire on 08/12/2010 @ 07:00 PM

Tags: Patty Murray, Dino Rossi, Tea Party, WA-Sen, Sarah Palin

You know that old saying, you’re only as good as the company you keep? Well, yet again, Dino Rossi, who’s trying to unseat Sen. Patty Murray, is associating with some pretty appalling characters. At a business round-table in Spokane, a woman upset with a pro-union bill exclaimed about Patty, “She ought to be shot. Murray and (Sen. Maria) Cantwell ought to be shot.” This violent, outrageous remark is not the first to be directed toward Patty.

Florida's CFO Alex Sink is running for governor, and as this post from the Reid Report describes, she couldn't be more different from Sarah Palin -- in all the right ways.

Bachmann meets… reality?

By Hilary on 07/16/2010 @ 04:30 PM

Tags: 2010 Elections, MN-06, Tarryl Clark, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann

Michele Bachmann wrote an opinion piece in Politico entitled, "Thank you, Sarah Palin," in which she details just how much she appreciates the fundraising efforts Palin has undergone to help her keep her seat this November. I agree with Michele that Palin's "effect on all aspects of politics shouldn’t be undersold" and know exactly what she means when she writes, "my race wasn’t the only race that Palin worked hard to raise money for."

Politico: Palin "steps into big leagues"

We are seeing the ripple effect of Sarah Palin's influence in races where EMILY's List women and Democratic candidates are fighting hard to win seats in November. Over the weekend, Palin's operatives filed a financial report indicating that in the past three months, she has raised more money than in any other quarter since forming SarahPAC in January 2009 and has already given $87,500 to her endorsed candidates.

Women voters will choose progress, not Palin, this election cycle

By Stephanie Schriock on 07/09/2010 @ 05:25 PM

Tags: Stephanie's Take, GOP Opponents, 2010 Elections, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Reproductive Rights

To say I was unmoved by Sarah Palin's much-heralded new "Mama Grizzlies" video is an understatement. I think it's time to get the story of the 2010 elections straight -- and to call out Palin's efforts for what they are: an attempt, in the name of "feminism," to turn back the clock on women's rights and to set American families back.

Sarah Palin released a web video this morning and it's begun making the rounds. She's trying to sell the "Mama Grizzly" brand to women across America as if it were the next 'lose ten pounds in ten days' fad diet.

Palin endorsements: What they mean to voters

Tags: Sarah Palin, GOP Opponents, 2010 Elections

I was pleased/relieved/unsurprised to see a story today in the Washington Post saying that earning an endorsement from Sarah Palin can result in the opposite of the intended effect: it can push voters away.

Michele Bachmann: Protecting BP while families suffer. Oh, and calling the President a criminal, too.

Michele Bachman went to bat for BP -- becoming the company's most vocal advocate and displaying a truly shocking -- even for her -- disregard for American families and their tax dollars.

Not so forgiving facts on Fiorina

Sarah Palin may have given Fiorina her seal of approval, but the facts don’t lie. That’s why we’re standing with Sen. Barbara Boxer to make sure she has the resources to let California voters know their choice at the polls couldn’t be starker.

In California, Republican voters are headed to the polls today with their pick of evils in the primary contest to decide who will challenge Senator Barbara Boxer this fall. Yesterday, phones were ringing off the hook across the state with Sarah Palin at the other end touting Carly Fiorina as the true conservative choice.

Sarah Palin, you don't speak for my frontier

I listened with disbelief today as Sarah Palin talked about "grizzly bear moms" taking back America -- and described her vision of an America where women don't have the right to make fundamental decisions in their own lives.

Who would vote for Sarah Palin in 2012? Not me. And apparently, neither would Alaskans.
