I got a laugh out of it and that is all I can say. Sarah Palin is not on my voting list.
It is your platform and you have a right to say what you like.
Song titles worked well.

We don't need music to appreciate the truth and honesty of this song. Like you, I am so tired of the rhetoric, empty suited politics as usual, and the uncanny ability to dupe Americans into believing that they are getting change, when in fact they are being laughed at for their ignorance. It just goes to show that a smooth talking slick snake oil salesmen can make a good living in a country where kool ade still appears to be the favorite drink. It's time for some new American heroes, - McCain and Palin. Thanks for posting this. Jim

Thanks for such an exhuberant reply and review. :) I appreciate your positive comments!
Comment from Rar22
Very creative! It's wonderful how you were able to use so many song titles yet incorporate them meaningfully into each stanza. The content and message of the poem were enhanced and not interrupted by all the songs. Nice work!

This is a very interesting contest entry you have submitted. I too think that Sarah Palin is totally awesome. She has my vote as does John McCain. Good luck. Teri

Ever notice that most of the top hits of each decade tend to be some sort of either love or love gone wrong songs? lol I just wanted to do something a bit different! ;) Thanks for the great review! I loved the challenge of this contest! Thanks for thinking of it!
Comment from Rosy O'Grey
Hello, Dovey.
At least you know how to use that code stuff. I had similar problems with my poem, The Angel of Death Smiled, and ended up doing a massive edit to move the lines about to fit the space.
Nice tribute to your governor. My cousin went to Alaska in late May of this year. He had lived there in our youth and recently told me that Sarah Palin worked wonders for the citizens of Alaska. He says that she has made it very comfortable for Alaska residents financially. My brother's children also live in Anchorage, but I have no contact with them thanks to their mentally ill mother.
You have a right to be proud of her.
Very good essay, using her voice. Keep writing.
I would ask how to use that html coding, but I might get confused. I am not an expert with the programming end of the Internet. I do not want to mess up my computer. I envy your skills there.

Thanks for your very kind and lengthy review, Rosy. :) You should have heard the comments from the one Alaskan who reviewed and disagreed with me completely! lol It was enlightening, to say the least! As for the html code, the command for adding a space is very simple:
I hope that will help!

Whatever command you wrote in that note did not show up. I have a copy of Internet for Dummies somewhere. I just cannot find it since I moved into this apartment. Things are still mixed up. I cannot do any lifting right now because of my arthritis.
I am sure that there are others who would disagree with you, but I critiqued it for how well you wrote it, not to disagree with you.
My cousin thinks that she is really a good choice for VP. I do not know enough about her to decide at this point. Rosy
Comment from darkgreennights
As another Alaskan I of course disagreed with every single word as I detest her and her policies, this goes back to Wasilla days, I worked for the state DFYS for fifteen years, her policies towards the less fortunate are both brutal and degrading, personally I found her to be as mean as a boa constrictor. I'm a friend of the public information officer she fired, I happen to love polar bears, and feel bad for children who's fathers have sex with them. I like all sorts of strange things in my politicians, education, fairness, honesty (you know if your an Alaskan that she was FOR the bridge to nowhere) you know she sued our government to remove endangered status on our polar bears, I gave you a good rating because you put your heart into that, but I'm sorry you like her, I cant imagine one reason why.

Because I can think of many more reasons to dislike Obama? lol Thanks for the enlightenment and the review.
-
Dear Dovey, thank you for taking what I said in the spirit I wrote it in, for one thing your an Alaskan like me, so theres that, I actually liked Mike Huckabee, but then when he nominated a woman who I have personally known and personally hated (not too strong a word) she made a twelve year old kid that I ran to the Valley ER room pay for her rape kit, thats how Obama got my vote, at that point a moose (dead or alive would have gotten my vote lol) normally I wouldnt care the vp and all but he's too old, and she may be the single most unkind human I have ever met, and after nearly two decades with the division, well thats saying something lol.
-
No problem, it's not like I know her personally, obviously. :)
Obama's Muslim ties are just way to scary for me to begin to entertain him as a viable solution for this country. Next thing you know we'll all need turbans and a Middle East translator! lol
We were just hoping for a 'good' candidate to step up to the plate. Is there any such thing? I'm sure they all have skeletons hidden in their closets.
Nice to meet you, btw. :)
-
Its nice to meet you too, do you live in my beloved Anchorage? I dont know if he's really a muslim that always seems like some nasty thing people say, I dont know him or John Mccain though, and I WISH I didnt know her, lol. I thought you must have known her too, but knew a palin that none of us at the state had met cause it was such a loving poem, but maybe we could both just vote for ron paul he seems nice enought, and in this election, well things just cant go more downhill, but gosh everytime I see her on tv my bp goes up WHY DID HE PICK HER? you know a few hundred of us on a private state website feel kind of pissed about not being asked, you know people whov'e worked with her for the last decade or more, just seems shoddy to me. Crap. I wish I didnt know ANY of the candidates I'd be lots happier lol
I went to West High you?

No, I've lived in Fairbanks pretty much all my life. Have you ever heard Obama try to speak without a teleprompter? It's not a pretty sight! lol He was using the teleprompter in an interview my husa
-
sorry, hit a wrong key lol Anyways... this interview my husband heard by Obama, he made a huge 'faux pas', so to speak. He was reading along with the teleprompter and was acknowledging that the McCain camp hadn't been attacking based on his Muslim faith. (In the background someone whispered Christian faith and he quickly tried to cover up his 'mistake'.) He has been putting a show of being a Christian, of course. So, if he really doesn't have ties to the Muslim community, I guess I really don't see how something like that could happen. Other than that, he has family ties through his father to the Muslim community. Even if there is no relationship there, that is just too scary to be that close to the US Presidency. I'd say there is a reason that our forefathers included the stipulation that President be a US born citizen, wouldn't you say? Kim

Clever idea to take old song hits and Sara Palin's website. Creative poem. You portrayed your message well. Great job, no suggestions.

This is really clever piece of
verse - all the song titles blend
in wonderfully. Must have been quite
an effort
Good luck with the contest.
