Sarah Palin action figures now on sale (what, no Joe Biden with the kung fu grip?)

It seems that people can't get enough of Sarah Palin. Since the announcement that she was joining the Republican ticket as the vice presidential nominee, there have been magazine covers and appearances with running mate John McCain. Now Hero Builders toymakers are selling a Sarah Palin action figure.

The three dolls, which cost from $27.95-$29.95, feature Palin as an executive in a dark suit; as an action hero a la Lara Croft, in a trench coat, mini skirt and what looks like a gun strapped to her leg; and as a faux-Britney Spears school girl in a low-cut blouse, peekaboo red bra and a plaid mini skirt. Not sure what kind of action they are going for there.

Palin isn't the only one who has an action figure. Hero Builders also has dolls for McCain, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.(The one for John Edwards wears a T-shirt that says, "Rogue." Did the National Enquirer suggest that one?)

For Palin, I wonder if they will add a version that carries a hockey stick? Or maybe one with hunting clothes and a rifle? Of course, a genuine Momma action figure would show us doing about 47 things at once. But so far no toymaker has figured out how to make one that's both unbreakable and tender-hearted.

To the ppl that say "What has Obama done to change anything". Um, he votes the opposite of Bush. When your in the minority, what more can you do?

You are right, Obama voted 97% of the time with his party in the Congress and Senate.

Do you realize this Congress has a 9% approval rating? Do you realize Bush has a higher approval rating?

Obviously not on both points.

However Obama votes 100% of the time with Bill Ayers, Rev Wright, and Syrian Naltional Tony Rezcko whom Obama helped bilk the American Taxpayer of 14 million dollars.

Are you racist to? What have you got against white people like Mc Cain and Sarah Palin?

To the ppl that say "What has Obama done to change anything". Um, he votes the opposite of Bush. When your in the minority, what more can you do?

What has McCain done? Voted with Bush! Yeah, theres change coming. [heavy sarcasm]

The right not to be spied on by my own government? (the right to privacy).

You lost that under Clinton. Remember the Wiretapping ordered on all Americans to protect us from Drug dealers? Try again.

[Jerry]

Proud American,

I am bitter, I am disapoted, what has become of America. I love America, I believe in America, America is the greatest country in the world. I am tired, and bitter of politicians doing nothing to help bring Unity among Americans, I don't believe in the Politicians I believe in my country.

I know what Republicans and Democrats are supposed to stand for. But you have to be blind to not see how the Republican (not entirely, and not all members) party has become the Religious Right party. I am not going to argue politics over the net, but I will say this, in my line of work I am very well knowledged in politics, government and history and have been for many years.

All I am saying is I want all Americans to try to put aside there differnces and work for a better future for us all

[Proud American]

Hey Dem, your name was Tom a minute ago.

Who am I talking about.

You can put a pant suit on a ....

Come back to reality.

[Proud American]

Tom,

I think you forgot to take your med's today.

[Dem]

Candice
You are an idiot. The pig comment has been around since the 1930s and you might want to hear McCain use it when he referred to Hillary and her healthcare plan. So shut up.

[Tom the Informer]

Where is Bin laden? Iraq was based on lies, which McCain voted for. McCain is a LIAR and a THIEF. People from FLORIDA are STUPID WHITE TRASH RETARDS.

I remember Barack pulling the race card on Geraldine Ferraro, and Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and...........

People will remember her as much as they remember Geraldine Ferraro...

Who?

Exactly.

[Your Goose Is cooked]

Holy crap Goose everything you listed is a good thing. you're the worst kind of American; ignorant and useless. You're no patriot and you have NO conception of what it means to love a country. I hope jesus forgives you for your sins against america. I know I'm appalled at you.

[Hespullingthewooloveryoureyes]

Obama promises change. In the last 5 years, what change has he prompted in the senate? What on his record makes you think he will actually deliver on all these "changes" he promises?

If she is Caribou Barbie, what should Obama's doll be called? Complexion Ken?

To David Arnold...the article says there are dolls for lots of candidates.

"Palin isn't the only one who has an action figure. Hero Builders also has dolls for McCain, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.(The one for John Edwards wears a T-shirt that says, "Rogue." "

I think this is a prime example of people not getting all of the facts before leaving angry comments that aren't relevant to the topic.

[please, people]

Candice, FYI...McCain used the same figure of speech referring to Hillary Clinton's healthcare policy last year. And, Obama was referring to the McCain campaign as a whole. I think you're watching a pretty crappy news source, or you're not very good at following the topic at hand. I think our country could seriously benefit from banning the media until the election is over. We need to be researching the candidates' views and plans on the policies that will affect our lives, not who called who a what. We aren't in elementary school!

[David Arnold]

The beauty of having Palin on the Republican side ( and the Hillary vs Barack primary for that matter ) is that Lib's and Dem's are being exposed to all Americans as the intolerant, sexist and racist people they really are. They've just never been forced to expose it in prior campaigns. It's like turning on a light and watching the roaches scramble. Oh, and one more thing, you can support abortion and STILL be a sexist and that reality is being proven every single day of this campaign. Carry on Dems!

Cuntry First!

[David Arnold]

Gee, I wonder what the radical Obamaniacs would say if someone made a caricature or doll of BO? Well, I assure they would be far more upset than they were when disgusting cartoons were made of Condi Rice, Colin Powell and Clarence Thomas. That's what hypocrites do.

[MM]

Common sense tells me that if you hire someone to do a job for you and they royally ruin your company,would you hire them again? Hence the Republican party/ Busch has done this very well to our country.8 Yrs people! are we going to hire these bad employees again.. being the Republicians.

Just remember if you're going to bang her daughter, use a condom or you're going to be on the news...

Id do her

I love the Democrat hypocrites that now say
"Hey, what the hell is she doing, she should be staying home taking care of her kids. What kind of mom is she?"

[Chump]

"More interested in a fight than getting things done"?

Yeah.. apparently a 65% of the population approve of her 'not getting things done'.

Way to say that someone else is confrontational as you post in all caps, Loser.

[meesterbig]

Ms. Palin should not be interested in working with the other side. She understands how destructive the Democrat socialist agenda is for this country and she seeks to destroy it..... as she well should.

Go McCain/Palin in '08!

[emme]

Obamais all for abortion after all it is getting rid of whites because blacks have their babies and go on welfare.
Yes Obama is right the quicker the white are gone the faster the blacks can take over. Forget husband and wife; it will be the babies mommy and daddy.

[Brooke]

There is NO WAY I would EVER vote for someone as cocky as Obama!!! He even designed his own presidential seal (how arrogant!) Sarah is a strong woman and has a very sincere personality with the dedication to run this nation. As for the abortion issue stated earlier, watch a video of partial birth abortions. The baby is born first...and then their brains are sucked out. As for people who "Have To" make that decision....That is Bull!! No one is forced to do such a thing (people can do without money or whatever else they say is forcing that decision...There are people out there to help)

[Proud American]

I think I should also mention I am philosophically a republican, but these republicans want a large central government that expands spending and control.

-States rights are constantly eroded

Do a little history. It was FDR that pulled the power from the states and placed them under the central government. Both parties from FDR forward have maintained this status quo.

It is both parties and not Bush only.

"-People's finances are absorbed into a bloated federal system that can't help them directly"

LOL, please tell me you don't believe this is brand new and only Bush is at fault.

"-These warmongers will keep fighting till we are all in hell or the country is destroyed."

Fear is a terrible thing. Wheather Mc Cain or Obama is in the White House matters little when it comes to war. Congress has to declare war, the president cannot do it by himself.

The fact is Iraq is messed up, end it to soon and Iran will be moving in and we will have another Afganistan and possibly end up having to go back. Keep it going to long and we lose more American lives. IMHO one American life lost in Iraq was to many. It needs to end and end responsibly.

"I love my country, I love the ideals it was founded on. I am an anti-federalist at heart who understands a basic federal government is necessary, but that only true representation can bring about prosperity."

I agree 100% it will take both parties and the best and brightest on both sides. Enough with the partisan politics. Neither side is 100% correct and both can accept equal blame without demonizing the other side.

"Yeah, all that, and I am voting for Obama, that's how terrible our republican ticket is"

I respect your opinion and reserve the right to disagree.

Personally I like Biden and would have voted for a Hillary - Biden ticket.

Obama has to many unanswered questions for me to place a vote for him.

Mc Cain - Palin I think the ticket is ok. I am not to thrilled with Mc Amnesty but at I can give credit for reaching across party lines and at least trying something. We cannot as a nation be paralyzed but fear to the point that doing nothing is better than something.

[Cancun in the answer]

I would like to take the Palin daughter's boyfriend to Cancun to see what he will be missing. Kissing Eskomos in Alaska to keep warm isn't a crime. Neither is not marrying a trampy teenager who was brought up with no morals by some inexperienced twit. His decision not to marry this daughter of a rubber doll is his own right to choose. I say stay away from the Palin daughter and go find a nice girl.

[Steve D]

Palin and McCain are divisive? So reach across the aisle to me and tell me what Democrats are willing to bargain on? Abortion? Second Amendment rights? Capital punishment? Taxes? Regulatory programs? Supreme Court justices? Tort reform? Tell me what you'd be willing to trade for an equally large concession from Republicans. Would you give up the ADA for secure abortion rights? Would you yield on capital punishment in exchange for real gun control? Would you end restrictions on property rights if conservatives gave up restrictions on personal behavior? Tell me what you'd deal on.

[Yeah?]

I think I should also mention I am philosophically a republican, but these republicans want a large central government that expands spending and control.

-States rights are constantly eroded
-People's finances are absorbed into a bloated federal system that can't help them directly
-These warmongers will keep fighting till we are all in hell or the country is destroyed.

I love my country, I love the ideals it was founded on. I am an anti-federalist at heart who understands a basic federal government is necessary, but that only true representation can bring about prosperity.

Yeah, all that, and I am voting for Obama, that's how terrible our republican ticket is

[Proud American]

Jerry,

You sound like one of those bitter American's
Barack talks about.

I absolutely agree about the need for a third party but to distort history is wrong. I can also agree the 2 parties have squashed a 3rd party on numerous occasions and block them from the same financing, media coverage and access to the debates.

"or bullying them into following you and your God, well that also goes against the basic principles this country was founded upon"

Republicans believe in the constitution. Everyone is guaranteed the freedom of religeon. They are well represented by all faiths and exclude none.

Please present your factual proof that a faith has been excluded.

"oh yeah and all the stupid taxes (the only difference is now there is representation behind there taxes)."

You may want to place this 100% on the republicans but the facts can be stubborn things. Taxes and the tax code is made by primarily by Congress and includes both Republicans AND DEMOCRATS.

Historically speaking Republicans are for smaller government and less government programs, Democrats historically increase the size of government and government programs.

[Yeah?]

The right not to be spied on by my own government? (the right to privacy).

How about the right to have a reasonable charge against you before the government can search your house (without even notifying you). Is that not important to you either?

The more we give away for our own "safety", the less safe we become. Whats next? Will I have to register with the government to post a dissenting opinion?

The kind of safety the government promises you can only be delivered when they have us all locked down.

[Sean]

Simpleton joe-jobbers and their 'gods' will destroy this great nation.

Enough of your superstitions and hate! Drag your ethics out of the bronze age, you immoral religionists.

[Sean]

Doddering old McCane can't remember that the Czech and SLovak republics were formed a decade ago.

We need someone who's young in the big chair.

No more old white men.

[Emily]

The great state of Illinois also supports Sarah Palin and John McCain for our next president.
God save us from barack obama!

[Jerry]

All I am going to say is Dem & Rep are both full of it.

The Republican party is a joke...why? Well when your party moves away from the original basis Republicans were founded upon and move to the Religious right and try scaring people, or bullying them into following you and your God, well that also goes against the basic principles this country was founded upon. Be able to worship whatever god or religion you want. That is one of the main reasons for our forefathers leaving England...oh yeah and all the stupid taxes (the only difference is now there is representation behind there taxes).

Democrats, a party that is so divided that they can't even agree upon themselves. Something else wonderful that we don't need, there is no backbone, they are like a bunch of children in the playground fighting over who is going to be on the team captain on the kickball team. And even after the captain is chosen, some bold face lie as though they feel that the choice was what they wanted all along.

They both promise change, but nothing ever gets done, both Obama & McCain can bring about change, just like every other President...but no President tries to bridge the gap between. America is divided as a country and people, there needs to be a new party called AMERICANS (of which there was once a party called that, but this new party I speak of that need to take shape is a hybrid of Dems and Rep...hey there is our name also kinda fits by todays standards...the Hyrbid party), and balance Yin-Yang (for ever bit of good there is some bad, for ever bad there is some good). But that will be the only time there is change, oh yea and when you get an candidate who encompesses both idea of both parties (minus religious rights) and the majority of people don't call them undecided, no they have decided they decided to make a difference for the greater good.

And another thing Palin is hypocrite, Ladies if you support her open your f___ing eyes. Here is a lady who is against Roe v Wade, interesting....but when she was pregnant she had an amnio done found out the baby was (I am not PC) retarded, and she says something to the effect of "well I am going to keep it anyway" because it is the right thing to do. For those of you who don't know Roe v Wade allows a women to get that, also allows birth control for women (not just pro choice). Nice. I could go on all day about her.

And Obama....where do I start.?

People wake up it is time to break away from these two parties, America had 3rd and even 4th, etc., in the past, they died out because their people didn't take there parties seriously and or were underfunded. There is even a Marijuana party (swear to god look it up). Vote America...Not if you feel Dem and or Rep is America , maybe you're not either.

[Proud American]

Yeah?

"taken our personal liberties"

Please name one liberty you had under Clinton that you lost under Bush.

It shouldn't be hard. Just one.

FWIW I think Bush will be recorded in history as the 2nd worst president, right behind Jimmy Carter.

[Yeah?]

The point is it doesn't matter that a person "experimented with drugs in his youth" when our current president was a coke addict in college, and has DUI's on his record. We need someone who will stand up and be an example to the world of how to run a nation morally, and as a member of the world community. Mccain only offers more military fist pumping. Which, if no one has noticed, has ruined our economy, taken our personal liberties, and caused much of the world to struggle to tolerate us. Change in philosophy is the answer.

[Proud American]

Yeah?

Do you know anything about Obama's past drug use and dealing or is it an inconvenient truth?

I do not think Obama's past drug use should disqualify him for the presidency at all. He was an imperfect teenager and made a mistake.

Now his racist views about white people. Yeah that alone should disqualify him, he is supposed to be a responsible adult.

[Proud American]

More dirt on Sarah Palin, this time from the Brits

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/09/09/do0904.xml

[Yeah?]

I like how the republicans are now concerned about the candidate who used cocaine early in his life. The current champion of your cause was a coke head who did lots of drugs and drank himself retarded. Good luck with 4 more years of hatemonger empire building, I'll be in my cave waiting for you all to finish destroying everything right in America.

[jp]

Everyone just has to rip someone apart don't they? You can't please everyone. Palin is a intelligent woamn along with looks that I'm sure many woman(dogs) are jealous of. I like McCain made a smart move choosing her and I'm sure they would'nt have considred her if she were stupid. Stop being jealous!! In my opinion - women get things done!!!

[Values Voter]

As a woman and a democrat I must say I am highly offended.

It seems there is no room in the democrat party for women like me (and there are many)

I believe in

pro life/abortion - Abortion should be safe and RARE. It SHOULD NOT be the first option if one makes a mistake. And it is certainly not an excuse to promote bad, unhealthy behavior.

Believe sex education should include abstinence in addition contraceptives.

faith and family - I go to church and believe the decline of the family unit in America is a bad thing. Have dinner with your kids, hug your kids and get and stay involved with your kids. They are our future and are precious. Turn off the TV and the XBOX, help your kids with their homework. Show them they are important to you.

working moms - Honestly what am I supposed to tell my daughters? You can be anything you want to be. Only if you have no children or they MUST be fully grown and on their own.

To those calling Sarah a hypocrite for allowing her daughter to make HER OWN CHOICE. You are misguided, hateful and WRONG!

Sarah would be a hypocrite if she drove her daughter to the abortion clinic while preaching pro life. That if a hypocrite.
Bristol made a mistake like hundreds of thousands of kids across the country but made a CHOICE to keep the baby. She is pro life. Nothing hypocritical about it.

I am a hockey, tennis, soccer mom who wears lipstick. I am not a pig.

[Gerrardo]

A TWO PARTY GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE! Make it about the people. Not the politics and the mostly white, crusty old men assosciated with it.

I am tired of all these lies about Barack Obama and the Carl Rove dirty tricks.

Here is the proof and the truth. Read it and weep republicans. If you support Barack read it to, lots of good info on the smears and lies.

http://www.obamaresearch.com/

Republicans are more concerned with their money, banging their neighbors wife, Bucking the middle class, etc. It's all cool as long as they get to church on sunday, and put more money in the pot than the neighbor who's wife their banging. Jebus lets you buy your way to heaven. MORONS!

[LaCroix]

You all sicken me. First off the doll looks stupid. Second of all, its quite obvious that people are set in their ways, no amount of arguing about politics on the internet is going to change their stubborn little minds. More likely than not, you share your parents beliefs and always will, no matter how outdated and/or ridiculous they might be. You can all go back to watching your overly conservative or overly liberal brain replacement shows now. Because thinking for yourselves is obviously out of the question.

[Bryan H]

Palin and this doll have a lot in common both are nothing but eye candy. McCain is trying to bring on the HIllary supporters and all he needs is a woman next to him. Sadly he picked a gun toting idiot instead of an intellectually gifted, experienced woman. Looks like McCain's experience as a playboy took over in this decision.
Can you imagine Palin as president?!? She'd probably try and build a bridge to the middle of the Atlantic.

The article I read said McCain used the same line on Clinton. re 'lipstick on a pig'. Also check out Snopes on Obama and Palin before you quote 'facts'.

[Proud American]

Where is her straight jacket? Palin belongs to a paranoid religious sect hellbent on bringing about the destruction of the entire planet as a way of getting "closer to god."

Where is her prison jumpsuit? She is a corrupt participant in the most corrupt political party in the last 100 years.

McCain/Palin do not represent true American values--- they represent fear and the status quo. I'd like to see Palin answer any questions of substance without having a script in front of her.... but the conservative-controlled US media won't ever hold her to the fire.
