The selection of palin by


The selection of palin by McCain shows hisdesperation for the presidency. A woman wih litle experience to become the president at a moments notice is insane on mccain's part. He proved his judgement to be in question as his ability to live out his term if elected. His choice was pure propaganda which shows his true identity to be not about the country but about his lifes ambition to be president.
Hillary supporters who will now vote for mccain and palin a woman who is against pro choice, a hunter is absurb. As Hillary Clionton stated was it about me or the counry. Its clear these hillary defectors proved its not abnout the counry but their own personal agenda which is not good for the country.
Hillary defectors who will vote for mccain who supports 90oercent of bush policies is a slap in this countries face and these defectors shouldbe ashamed of themselves.

Early Onset


I work with a lot of seniors, some younger than McCain and some older than him. As I look at the Palin choice, I have real questions about his mental capabilities. Does he have alzheimer's disease, or is this early onset of dimentia? It makes no sense to meet someone one time, and put them in position to lead the free world. She may have rubbed his head, or made him feel like he was sexually attractive . . . and that may have been enough to give her the free world. . .

obtuseness


Liberals seem to think on such shallow terms they extrapolate their stereotypes to all people. The choice of Palin was to decimate the Change message and bring an aspiring conservative with great potential onto the national stage. McCain's outcome in this election will represent whether he acted too soon, but Palin was ultimately going to have a prominent future in the party.

Unfortunately all the idiot dems can talk about is trying to scrape off Hillary voters because they only think in terms of identity politics. The choice of Biden, masked by his foreign policy credentials, was to place a faux townie on the Democratic ticket to appeal to white men by repeatedly reporting he was born in Scranton, PA and he rides the train to work, with the underlying fact he had a son in Iraq. Obviously it was an anti-Romney play to accuse him of being a rich white elitist out of touch flip flopper with five kids who are Fortunate Sons. McCain changed the game plan.

And all the loonie left can do now is resort to are personal attacks and try to divide the nation on the Roe v. Wade issue. Guess what, there are conservative women from small towns who enjoy the outdoors and this completely undercuts the bitter people clinging to guns and religion argument. Palin is more qualified than Edwards was when he was chosen in 2004 to be Kerry's running mate.

McCain has raised a record amount of money and demolished Obama's convention bounce since this pick. He made the right decision and Obama knows it, that's why he's going easy on her personal qualities because he's not as stupid as his lunatic cult member supporters.

Palin...a most excellant choice!


What a woman; what a stunning pick for v.p.!

Her 80% approval rating as a CEO of a major state far outshines Biden's 6th place finish in the presidental races; and decades of foreign policy blather while being the water boy for DUPONT's interests on Capital Hill--they financed and 'managed' his campaigns for Senate.

The female media has nothing but praise for her; the male media can't quite figure her out and have resort to venal indirect attacks,like her daughter's pregnancy and marriage.

One has to wonder if her 17 yr. old daughter married a 27 year old woman and both were registered as DEM's, What the reaction of the MSM would be?

This race is going to be fun; and Palin has even eclipsed the 'welfare mamas for Obama' contingent.

Palin's tribute to Hillary is far more praise than Obama and Biden ever gave her.

It just keeps getting better and better.

Palin


The most extreme of the most extreme wing of a failed political party, Sarah Palin was appointed in hopes that she could draw female voters as if women are so dump as to vote for someone with which 1 or 2% of the country agrees with.
Palin was a member of the Independence Party in Alaska which advocated for seccession from the US. Now there's an American Patriot. A little like nominating Jeff Davis in 1868.

The Governor of Alaska


Alaska is considered the "Last Frontier." Does this mean the Republican Party can pull an unknown out of the wilderness and pretend she is "Presidential Material?"

I, for one could care less if this were a man or a woman. The problem I have is that of half-truth and outright lies regarding her record.

The Governor was for the bridge to no-where before she was against it. She stated that it was important to get the money from the Feds no matter what. She said no to the bridge, but took the money.

The Governor states that she sold the state-owned aircraft on E-Bay. She actually put the aircraft up for bid, extended the bid and then had it sold through an aircraft brokerage firm.

She is anti abortion (for any reason) and pro oil. She is anti environment and pro creationism. At one point she was supporting Pat Robertson for president.

The bottom line....Mr. McCain went to the last name on the list to find a person with no resume for the job.

Remember.....McCain + Palin = McPain for the next four years.

Bah hahahahahahahaha!


She's Governor of a "major state". Are you serious? She's Governor of 600,000 people and was mayor to 6,000 people. And how was it again that Wasilla, Alaska (the town she was mayor of) managed to get $23 million in federal money? Huh? And how about her settling a family dispute by using her power (abuse of power...which is something the knuckledraggers of America haven't heard after 8 years of worshiping George Bush and being deaf, blind, and mute during that time!) by trying to fire her brother-in-law and then when she couldn't get his boss to, she fired him!

I thought it was the liberals of America who were getting pregnant at a young age and partying their asses off? Oh wait! It was the republicans who said this and look what we get in Sarah Palin: AN EXAMPLE OF TODAY'S REPUBLIC PARTY! What a gift!

If McCain/Palin gets in, expect more pregnancies by Bristol and her younger sister, and at some point of the kids going into rehab.

I don't want to hear another word from the neocon knuckledraggers of the last 8 years saying ever again that liberals are anything like you!

We teach our kids to use contraceptives because we understand they're sexual as all humans are. Oh, but the republics! They don't believe in birth control, have no problem with their young kids staying out all night and partying, and are just astonished when they find out their daughter had an abortion, because the girl was too scared to tell her parents about getting pregnant!

Make my words: most young girls getting abortions are not liberals. The right wingers of America have soiled all over the word "liberal" and I'm tired of it. Just face it neocons, everything you've ever accused us of being is exactly what you are!

Palin is the Anna Nicole Smith of right wing politics. The old guy finds her attractive and nothing else.

One more thing...


MCCAIN/PALIN...The Bridge To Nowhere

Very fitting. America will go nowhere with these two in charge (well, unless you consider a military draft to fight in more endless wars & occupations). And if you're raped, Sarah Palin will make sure you're forced to keep it. Nice, huh? I don't think so.

Palin is more of man than the Chosen one


Reading the bio's of Obama (no experience) and Palin (much experience) it occurred to me that Sarah Palin is more of a "man" than the metrosexual urban sissy Barack Obama, he of skinny arms and whiny attitude. Who wins in a street fight? My bet is on Palin
