sarah palin it is!

Ok, I got home just in time to see McCain introduce his VP pick. Obama and Biden are SCREWED!

This solidifies my decision to vote McCain.

And it is not just because there is a woman on his ticket. It is because John McCain selected a woman. He put his presidency on the line, he put his faith in a woman. He considers a woman a worthy running mate. And he showed respect for those 18 million Hillary supporters, and he showed that he listened to the women in America, and that he values what we have to say.
Unlike Obama.

Obama made a very big mistake in not selecting Hillary. (although I did not want her on that sinking ship) Obama made a very big mistake telling Hillary supporters to get over it. He made a very big mistake in not reaching out to us. He made a HUGE mistake in never trying to control the vile attacks towards Hillary supporters, from his supporters. And he made a huge mistake in never speaking out to control the attacks on Hillary during the primaries. And his wife made a big mistake when she was asked if she would support Hillary, should she be the nominee. And they made a HUGE mistake when they tried to paint the Clintons as racists. And they screwed up when they tried to threaten us with Roe v Wade.
They are going to have a very hard time going after Sarah Palin, especially on her pro-life stance. You can’t attack a woman who stands by her convictions.
John McCain shook things up, and selected a new kind of candidate, a candidate who will bring change, and who is truly from outside of Washington.

Obama selected Biden, a guy who has been in DC for 35 years. Obama went safe, and mainstream. What kind of change is that?

I am very excited to getting to know her, as a candidate and a person. From what I have read and heard so far, I like.

I am sad, that Hillary is not where she should be. She should be on the Dem ticket – heading the ticket, but on it either way. She truly did break the glass ceiling, but, sadly for her, and her supporters, it is Sarah Palin that will be walking through it.

But, if all goes well – McCain/Palin will win, and Hillary will become Majority Leader, and the most powerful person in the Senate. And maybe then, we truly will have a non-partisan government that will work together, and get things done!
Way to go McCain!

And thank you Hillary Clinton, for enduring all that you have, in these past 18 months, and your whole political life, really, for breaking that glass ceiling, and putting a woman in the White House, one way or another. You truly are an inspiration, a fighter and a hero. And you will never be forgotten.

p.s. Is it just me, or is everyone excited to see Tine Fey on SNL, as Sarah Palin?

    McCain/Palin 08. let’s do this.

    • http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/080820_NBC-WSJ_Released.pdf trixta

      Yes! McCain/Palin it is!

      • red_sleeves
        • WildChild

          sweet

      • Al

        Are you serious?? You would vote for Palin simply because she is not a he?

        Do you realize that her positions are in direct opposition to Hillary’s? That she would roll back progress for women and women’s rights?

        We must move beyond identity politics and focus on what each candidate would actually do for us as people, not their gender.

        I did not like Kerry in 04, but voted for him because it was in our best interest that he win, it’s really that simple.

        McCain/Palin would be a disaster for this country and for women.

        • http://NoQuarter Pandora1

          Yes, yes — a complete disaster if the GOP takes over ersatz Clinton supporters. Didn’t you hear what she said???? “Did you do this for me?” Yes and No: I supported Hillary because of who and what she stands for, and PALIN doesn’t even come close.

          Who are you people who would have Roe v Wade overturned? Who are you people to focus on Biden’s hair plugs rather than the 35 years of work he has done on our behalf in the nation and across the world at large? Who are you who would vote for McCain who said he admires Scalia most on
          the Supreme Court — Republican shills wrapped in Hillary’s sheep clothing? I’M CANCELLING NQ IMMEDIATELY….

    • Perry Logan

      This absolutely clinches it for McCain. The only people voting for Obama now will be the misogynists and the racists.

      • Vic

        I think you are wrong and the only people who will cross party line are to people who are racist and can’t stand to see a minority President. Those are people who need to search themselves deep within, because a lot of them hide behind the word Christian. True Christians are color blind and God will hold those so called Christians responsible for using him and if you live through this next Presidental term and John McCain do somehow win you will see punishment come upon this country.

    • Kal

      Sarainitaly: The other thing that totally did it for me is the final theft at the convention itself:

      When Jesse Jackson won approx. 465 delegates, he got every one of those votes recorded for history at the convention.

      When Hillary won 1,920 delgates, she got less than 20% of them recorded for history at the convention. BO was too afraid to even let the realities of her historic accomplishment be recorded on the roll call. After all this time, and on the day after the 88th anniversary of women’s gaining the vote in the US, the best he could agree to was to let his party record a mere token vote for Hillary.

      No, the women in the US are not finished yet!

      PUMA!!

      • Jim S

        What we have to do is three-fold. First get McCain and Palin elected. Second get rid of harry Reid and push Hillary to the top spot in the Senate. Third get rid of Nancy Pelosi and put anyone in the spot, she’s gone totally off her rocker. I can easily see these Hillary and Palin sitting down over a cup of coffee and getting things done for the country.

        • bert

          Add Howard Dean and Donna Brazille to that list and you have me on board. And get the DNC out of Chicago too!

        • Joe Mama

          Do you really believe what you just said? If McCain and Palin get elected, say goodbye to your reproductive rights and hello to your coat hanger. Everything else you said is about Pelosi, etc. is pure drivel. Hillary would have made a fine president, but she lost to Obama, who is our nominee and will make a fine president in his own right, and do all he can to preserve the grounds women have made throughout the last century. Get over it or give up your rights to your own uterus. It really is that simple.

          • http://hillarysmygirl08.wordpress.com Hillaryormccain08

            Another idiot man telling me my uterus is in danger when I am smart enough to know that Roe vs Wade will never be overturn no matter how many conservatives are on the bench can you Obots like actually learn how to read before you spout all these so called facts.
            Get over it he lost our votes. We moved on you just do not like where we moved too.

      • http://www.TheOtherDemocrats.com FloridaDem

        That was the main reason I couldn’t watch the convention – Obama’s manipulation of the entire event, as if Hillary didn’t really exist.

        I agree w/Sarainitaly. We’re going to have to just vote for McCain/Palin and make sure Clinton becomes Majority leader, and get rid of the fruitcake, bitter Botox-queen (Pelosi).

        • bert

          “….as if Hillary didn’t really exist.”

          Oh, she existed all right. She existed in order for Obama and his millions of thugs to force her to humiliate herself over and over during the Convention in the service of the biggest most corrupt megalomaniac since Caligula.

        • reg

          I was totally sickened by Nancy when she threw herself around Obama’s neck and her eyes were so dreamy that she looked like a teenager at a rock star concert. I would hate to have to do her laundry (under garments) after that orgasmic moment.

      • Amabo Kcarab

        “When Hillary won 1,920 delgates, she got less than 20% of them recorded for history at the convention.”

        Wow. I didn’t watch the convention and didn’t read the news articles, so I didn’t know that less than one-fifth of Senator Clinton’s pledged delegates stayed with her.

    • http://democratsforrealchange.info Dr. bobbi Anne white

      you know feel like I can rest a bit, now that McCain has made this awesome choice. And, make no mistake about it, Cindy had a hand in this, just like Michelle had a hand in dissing Hillary.
      Do you all remember when Hillary’s brother visited McCain a few weeks ago?
      I’d bet my bottom dollar that he was acting as a go-between and John asked Hillary to be on his ticket.
      But she said no.

      • DemtoRep

        Exactly!! And how many times did Hillary say Country before party?? hundreds!!
        MCCAIN / PALIN 08

    • melissa

      You have got to be kidding me? Was the ONLY qualification that you liked in Hilary was that she was female? Is that all that matters?

      Hilary stood for women and their rights – ALL human rights. Sarah Palin stands for reversing those rights.

      Do you think Hilary WANTS Sarah to win? I bet she will battle ten times as hard now to make sure Obama wins. The first woman in the white house someone who would take women BACK 50 years?

      And Obama could NOT have picked Hilary Clinton. It wouldn’t have worked and I doubt she would have even accepted the nomination even if it had been offered.

      I like Hilary and I like Obama, but more importantly, I support WHOMEVER supports my rights as a human being and as a woman – not some no name with no experience and an ULTRA conservative who was given the nod without even being fully vetted.

      This will blow up in McCain’s face – mark my words. I think over Clinton’s dead body would she allow Sarah Palin in the White House. No flippin’ way…

      Talk about being either a racist or a total man hater or something with no brain to jump from Clinton to Palin. That is the most illogical thing I’ve EVER heard.

      • norrismorris

        Palin is against Choice, is Pro Gun Lobby, Pro Iraq, and I would have to be insane to vote for anyone man or woman who holds these values, and believes in these and other conservative and reactionary issues. Forget Alaska land and converting the rest of what’s left into a vast oil field and destroying our wild life and even more of our planet.

        I am a proud Hillary supporter but cannot vote for Palin.

      • DemtoRep

        It does not matter now what Hillary wants?? sorry but it is what we want now and that is our vote and this has nothing to do with being a female it has to do with the DNC!!

      • DemtoRep

        You are now a Nobama kool-aid drinker thinking Hillary would want us to vote for this IDIOT!!! she was treated so unfair by Nobama and the DNC she said what she had to say–MCCAIN / PALIN 08!!!

      • http://hillarysmygirl08.wordpress.com Hillaryormccain08

        are you kidding is the only reason why your voting for a Sexist pig is that he is black? I know you are one of Obama’s paid bloggers. They have been going nuts on all the blogs with their pathic crys for UNITY. I have decided to listen to Donna Brizilla and catch the McCain train. He picked Sarah. Why wouldn’t Hillary have saved Obummers ass on that ticket. Yes it would have helped him but he is to stupid to do what he needs to do. He will try to cheat but since we know he does this. It will be impossible to do it this time.

  • typical.white.person

    Too “off the deep end” for me:

    John McCain’s vice-presidential pick, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is an evangelical Protestant with a strong record of opposition to abortion and an openness to teaching creationism in the public schools.

    • http://www.hillaryorbust.com Hillary or Bust

      She said schools should talk about both creationism and evolution and open up a discussion for children to see both sides. Which is not quite the radical “only creationism” stance some evangelicals take.

      • ee

        umm.

        Should we open up the discussion to include pagan, Hindu, Inuit versions of the earth’s creation?

        In the science room?

        dumb.

        • Mr. X

          She said she was open to having discussion of it in the classroom, but opposed forcing those topics as requirements. My goodness the Obots are dense lately. No logic at all.

          • http://www.greensunshine.net jadwiga

            Don’t you smell fear? They are in panic mode.

        • http://firefox AnnieCarmel

          Actually not so dumb if you want to know how others believe and why. It doesn’t have to be presented as doctrine.

          • ee

            So you are willing to give the others equal time?

            Or just fundy 7 day creationism?

            • joe

              She specifically stated in the interview that she was open to allowing different ideas as a topic of discussion, but that it would not be appropriate to codify them in the educational learning standards.

              Basically, she said she is open for the free discussion and debate of ideas. What a concept to the O-trolls, right? They have no idea what an honest debate on the issues is. They just “shoot and scoot” with poorly reasoned comments. Grow up!

              • alexei

                I would not object to this in a comparative religion class or studies of belief systems for social studies, but, I would object having this discussion in a science class. And, yes, place the Inuit, Pagan, Hindi, Hopi , etal in the discussion groups.

                • tminu

                  I remember in high school covering various cultural beliefs about the beginning of humanity, in a mythology class. Multiple ancient cultures have great flood stories too. In science, it was only evolution but they did mention that some people believed in creation, then back to evolution and Darwin.

                • bert

                  At the federal level this is really a moot point and should not be an issue at all since school districts are controlled at the local level by locally elected Boards of Education. No matter what Plain believes it will make no difference.

                  States also have some control through their state educational standards. If individuals want their children to know about creationism they can send their children to a private school or home school them. For me creationism is not a make or break issue for who gets my support. I only have one goal this year.I am only dedicated to making sure Obama and the DNC lose this year.

                • Raven

                  However, when it comes to schools the
                  discussion is evolution and creationism.
                  She, personally may have no problem ex-
                  ploring the basis of other faiths but, its not on the table. Which is why, she
                  was the candidate suggested to McCain by
                  Conservative Richard Land, is supported
                  Dobson and from their reports all con-
                  servatives are “giddy” with anticipation.
                  She supports the pro-life position in all
                  cases, as I understand it.
                  She is just what McCain needed. First, to
                  rev up the conservatives. He needed to
                  excite them. Get them out working block by block, registering people to vote
                  Republican. Those of you thinking of voting for him, need to think very care-
                  fully, of the downticket. Across the
                  board, Republicans are energized with this Palin Pick. Secondly, they are going
                  after Hillary Democrats. I would just ask
                  you to consider the ISSUES FIRST AND
                  FOREMOST. There is alot that we have en-dured thru these nearly 8 years of Bush.
                  I do not wish to see Bush tax cuts ex-
                  tended, continuation of status quo heath
                  care, possible further arch to right of
                  Supreme Court which will affect my grand-
                  children. That’s just the beginning.
                  There is no doubt that Hillary was the
                  best candidate. I still hold out hope that OB could be “revealed”. But, we are
                  where we are.
                  I celebrate the selection of Gov. Sarah
                  Palin and her accomplishments. To the
                  many women who want to think that Sen.
                  McCain was responding to OUR needs, to
                  that I’d say think again.

              • Ferdberfle

                As a scientist I find creation science an oxymoron. If it must be taught, let it be in a class on metaphysics or ontology or better yet, culture. There is no room in science for quackery and dogma. Sorry.

                • WildChild

                  I agree to creation science being taught in science class…. but only if Tom Cruise gets to play god. His couch jumping antics during the lecture ought to put it all in the proper perspective.

                • Steve

                  It doesn’t sound, though, as if she opposes the teaching of actual science in the classroom. That’s the real problem with fundies – the dumbing down of America. I’m watching her with interest. McCain’s choice was brilliant. I am strongly considering voting for him, while voting D down the rest of the ticket to maintain a comfortable balance of power.

                • boonies

                  chemical evolution of complex life in a hostile environment (as the early earth was) is still what Frederick Hoyle, England’s greatest physicist( and ardent atheist), called prior to his death….’evident nonsense of the highest order’.
                  Any teacher of science who cannot risk exposing his students to a book like Dr Hugh Ross ‘ “Creation as Science” where he explains how old-earth creation is a Testable and Falsifiable theory – making verifiable predictions , etc- and applies said tests to Naturalism, something you wont do in a public forum…..such a teacher is not worthy of the job title….
                  PS Any Hindu, Islamic ,etc PhD level scientists who wish to contribute to a series of essays describing the origin of DNA and complex life should be welcomed, at least by the openminded.

        • Obama is a bum

          Should we have open discussions on Black Liberation Theology that Obama spent 20 years learning and shoving his kids into? How about the backwards teaching of Phleger that Obama has claimed as his spiritual advisor? Why not promote the terrorism of Bill Ayers?

          Supporting a radical like Obama and knocking an opponent (even on the VP ticket) is impossible to do. A person’s character does not get any worse than Obama’s.

          It all comes down to playing the race card for Obama which is all he has and I have been saying that for six months.

              • chezmadame

                Juneteenth is also the black liberation theology celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation. It is celebrated in place of the 4th of July.

                Ayers and Barky used Annenberg foundation education funding to hold Juneteenth festivals for Chicago’s inner city children.

        • tommy77

          you are so out of touch. all polls show 50% of americans believe in 7 day creation and another 35% believe in intlligent design through evolution, so 85% of americans believe in intelligent design. more people believe in alien abduction than believe in random evolution.

          Dumb?
          I learned about those creation myths in college, and yes they could be taught in a science course…only as a historical reference of where we’ve come from to our current post quantum mechanics knowledge.

          I’m often concerned that the left have become too afixed to their positions…like a sort of left wing conservatism that must preserve its identity by its own catch phrases like the right wing clings to its god and country.

      Also, I don’t recall the Dems rejecting the installation of right-wing, anti-abortion Supreme Court Justices. Stop using the abortion issue as our only issue.

      Furthermore, Obama voted for FISA, and thus shredded our constitution!

        Plus, I see that Rachel Maddow has described us as “post-rational.” If there are so few PUMAs, and our votes won’t matter, why are we attracting so much attention? Including yours, Nancy?

        What are B. Hussein Obama’s policies Nancy? The guy has more positions than a Las Vegas whore. Go ahead and vote for your little, arrogant punk who has never been anything but a community organizing pimp for ACORN. And don’t tell us about him being a U.S. Senator. He’s spent 173 days in the Senate and we the taxpayers are paying his salary and he has done nothing.

        YOU are the one who will deserve what you get with Obama. Just wait until Larry Sinclair comes forward with PROOF in October that your boy Barack did in fact smoke crack in his limo while Sinclair gave him oral sex. But, if I was married to Michelle, I’d get sex somewhere else too.

        Obama is an anti-American Marxist, racist pig, who’ll sell his soul to the devil to get fame. His wife alctually LOOKS like a devil herself and has Obambi *ussywhipped. He’s the biggest egomanicac looser to ever be nominated and a complete insult to the Democratic party. The only legend he’ll ever be is in his own empty head.

        I personally think that the media and the DNC has caused this rift in the party. It amazes me how women can be so disconnected from the discrimination that we have seen this last two years. I’m African American and female and have spent the majority of my life battling for my rights as a BLACK. I ignored the struggles of being a female simply because I attributed everything to my skin color. Not until this election did I see how politically correct it was to slander women and dismiss them as unequal with not much value. I’m a dem and would never consider voting for a Rep, but this election cycle has opened my eyes. McCain/Palin 08 and Hillary vs. Palin 2012.

      • http://hillarysmygirl08.wordpress.com Hillaryormccain08

        You Obama supporters will get what you deserve. The women will all be dressed in their Burkas their jobs would be given to men. White folks will be paying reparations to black folks for years to come. Course it wouldn’t matter once Sharia law is the law of the land.
        I decided to cast my vote for someone who actually loves America.
        McCain/Palin 08

      She’s also said Roe will never be overturned because women wouldn’t put up with that shit and they’d revolt.

      She’s pragmatic. She has a personal view, but she’s smart enough to realize that it isn’t the only view, and she is honest enough to speak plainly about the realities of this wedge issue as well. I give her credit for navigating that issue quite adroitly.

      typicalwhiteperson…

      obama passed a bill that condones infanticide. then lies that he did it. then had to come clean about it.

      and let’s be real…..roe-wade is not going anywhere. no matter how the obamacans spin it. it’s a fear button that has already been pushed so many time we it’s brushed off like the pesky mosquito it is.

      the creationist thing….we’ll just see about that.

      the obamacans are soiling their undies. all the sputtering that went on in the “news”media yesterday had me gleefully gloating.

      Sen. John McCain has guts. Gov. Sarah Palin is his perfect running mate.
      washington insiders of both “parties” are running for cover,

      shakeup on the way. no pardon for Rezco. boo-f#@$%$#-hoo.

    • chezmadame

      Go to ontheissues.org for an accurate, unbiased description of Palin’s stands. She is opposed to adding creationism to the curriculum, but open to its discussion in the classroom. She is also pro contraception.

      I don’t have a problem with a prolife woman who walks the walk, as Palin has.

      I do have a problem with a “prochoice” man who suggests that I make my decisions after consultation with my husband, doctor, and pastor.

    • Andy

      No, that’s not Palin’s position on evolution.
      According to The Anchorage Daily News, she has supported allowing the teaching of the debate between creationism and evolution in public schools, if students bring it up, and not necessarily as part of the curriculum.

  • AF catfish

    Sorry Dems, I am a Dem but I love this pick by McCain. There are so many pluses that don’t meet the eye at first: she entered government first by running for PTA! When is the last time you heard that? Then city council, then mayor, then Energy and Conservation Commissioner, where she blew the whistle on fellow Repubs, then Governor.

    And the sexism lives on “she’s just a beauty contestant” – please, keep up those MILF and GILF jokes. Because I want McCain to win, and you are helping him.

                    They expected all the Hillary supporters to just roll over and ignore the sexists remarks, the intimidation, “get over its”, “we don’t need you” and follow their lead.

                    Yes, they are confused. The cult members can’t understand because they haven’t been programmed to think on their own. That’s what happens in cults. I’ve seen insults, melt-downs, threats, instead of rational talk – and the ones that do act like they’re talking rationally are just recycling old arguments that don’t take in the whole political picture. None of them can tell us HOW Obama is going to fulfill all his promises! All they can say is he stands for Change! – So what’s up with picking Biden?

                    I actually feel sorry for these youngsters because they don’t understand what’s happening. And they are ANGRY and I can’t figure out where all that HATE is coming from.

        With a resounding loss, Obama, Pelosi, Dean and crew will be ousted and centrist Democrats led by Hillary can re-take our party.

        I don’t agree with Palin on much of anything but I am really taken by her straight talk – I trust her. I feel the same about McCain.

        We’ll depend on the Democratic majority in Congress to keep McCain and Palin from overturning Roe and stop the warmongering. Hillary can be working on the national health care plan for the next four years and inplement it on her first day in office in 2012.

          The story about Obama’s corruption has been out there for anyone to research for several months, in the archives of the Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune. The corporate media has chosen to ignore the facts about Obama and Rezko.

          Many of us readers of NQ refuse to support Obama because of his long and corrupt relationship with Tony Rezko. Go to NQ archives to see details about those rehabbed buildings. Many are now boarded up and in foreclosure.

          How about way more that two “moths” ago.

          However, most of that information is in the trial records of the federal corruption trial of Antoin Rezko – the one in which he was convicted and now awaits sentencing.

          Mr Rezko has been seen talking to the feds. No doubt he is giving them information beyond what was brought out in trial to lighten his prison sentence.

So there won’t be much funding for soup kitchens. Oops! I guess all the homeless will have to just fall over dead or something.

              Hey! Maybe McCain can put them up in one of his houses.

                  I thought about it. Really, I did. But I think I’ll just finish my education, and get the master’s degree in social work. Heaven knows that if McCain manages to win, the social work profession will see an increased demand for services. Advocate for change and all that.

                    Fortunately America is not going to let Obama do for the entire country what he did for the “po’ folk” (as you say) in his own district, freezing in the slums he secured for his buddy Rezko.

          • joe

            Do me a favor and go back and look at what a real convention looks like. Try 1980, for instance, where the procedures and the rules of the party mattered. Or 1984. Or 1968. Or 1972. There are rules to these processes, and as Pelosi said, the rules were suspended for unanimous consent. They could not even acknowledge, on the convention record, that she won almost as many pledged delegates as he did.

            Think before you talk. Oh, that’s right. At Camp Obama they teach you to tell people how you feel, not your actual, reasoned approach to policy differences. Very mature. A 17 year old on mom’s computer making $7-$10 an hour.

            No, that is horseshit. Thats what you heard from MSM, not from the advocates for roll call.

            The Roll Call vote was a joke. The game was fixed and thats all their is to it. When they pressured the Superdelegates to Vote The Will of the People,…guess they forgot how manys states Clinton won that this would devastate their numbers (Calfornia and New York for instance)

            Votes were converted to Obama against my will in my state and my parents and family in Arkansas had all their votes thrown to Obama, against their will by delegates who didn’t ask if this was cool.

            So don’t give me this horseshit about “You Folks” this is not a monolythic site. People differ here and you’d be wise to aim your comments at specific people you disagree with and stop the “you folks” crap.

            You can’t even state the goals and aims of the different people because they aren’t the same. You’ve been watching too many cartoons er Keith Olbermann.

        • http://www.barrysoetoro.com Jeremiah God Damn Amerikkka Wright

          what was historic about the roll call was that the DNC and The Obama camp tried to make what was a normal event look like hillary was trying to get something special for 3 months, then played this bullshit game of we will we wont and finally only agreed to let it happen if she released her delegates so that it would look like Obama won by elected delegates not super delegates.

          Whats Historic about it is the fraud and scam that it was has never happened before in electoral history.

          Then they threatened them with party excommunication if they didnt give ringing endorsements too.

          We are all aware that the Democratic party is currently being held hostage by the pod people. Hillary is bravely staying in it to help kick your asses out after obama loses.

But Barky, Pelosi and Dean made it sound like they were doing Hillary such a big favor, bending over backwards for her and for “unity.” BS!!! The fraudulent a@@holes. They can fool the newbies, but us life-long Dems know the truth.

    CNN’s John Roberts: Palin Might Neglect Her Disabled Infant?

      I just did a quick surf around the Bots’ sites–and are they scared! The children at the Daily Cuss are so upset about Palin that they’re now criticizing her hair style and saying that she isn’t going to distract from the messiah. And the little ones at MyDD are scrambling to dig up some dirt, any dirt will do, on Palin, her family or anyone in Alaska….

      Poor Taylor Marsh, who sold her soul to Bozo, has joined the misogynists, writing that McCain’s pick of Palin is “insulting to women.”

      No Taylor, YOU”RE insulting to women.

      I can’t stomach Huffpo, but not doubt they too are panicking….

          Did you guys see how she photoshopped Sarah Palin onto the cover of Vogue? Then mentioned that she was a “beauty queen” too?

          I remember Michelle Obama was in Vogue, and People, and Time, and Newsweek, and Ebony and National Geographic and Field and Stream and Game Pro and This Old House and…well, people in glass mansions on the south side bought with dirty money, shouldn’t throw stones.

          • flummox

            Marsh is an idiot. Palin herself WAS actually in Vogue, too. Hopefully at least someone on that site is really letting her have it.

          I recall when she turned. I forget the details but it was literally over one day’s time. I had the distinct the feeling that someone had “gotten to” her. It was a time when things were getting ugly on mydd and some longtime members were thrown out of there. Taylor pivoted, and I thought at the time that someone big had basically said “Straighten up or we’ll shut you down” (or worse).

          • http://! Clinton Fan

            The Obama campaign is funnelling money to blogs in some fashion. AMERICABLOG went against their interests to boost Obama, and that place, where debate used to be a highlight, is now “No Dissent” land. Same with Kos–no criticism, same with Democratic Underground, where they throw people out for saying anything bad about the Messiah. I saw at the latter blog that they are trying to raise money for Their Anointed One, I guess the site admins want to be “Big Bundlers” and get an invite to the inauguration. Problem is, I don’t think McCain will send them an invitation.

        • hank48188

          She is probably getting money from Soros or someone like him, she jumped on the Obama bandwagon full tilt. That is what is wrong with the DEMS, they depend on Soros for their cash and all the DEMS down the line do as they are told, if you don’t obey you get no money.

    • Carmen Purser

      Does John Roberts think that every woman who gives birth to a Down Syndrome child stays at home and rock them? As a former special education teacher, children like Palin’s son grow up, go to school and are often very socialble and affectionate children. There are many mothers/parents who could benefit from better health insurance to provide the care that children with special needs often require. I don’t think this is the case with the Palins. Maybe John Roberts should do some research and produce a show for network news–he might learn something and teach others with limited knowledge something about Down Syndrome.

      • http://nobho.blogspot.com/ Johnny at Work

        John Roberts should go bake us all a pie.

        • HARP

          Roberts grew up in Mississauga, Ontario. He attended the University of Toronto at Mississauga, and worked for many years in Canadian media before joining CBS News in 1992.

          Roberts first started working in radio at the local college station CFRE-FM, in Mississauga, Ontario. He briefly worked on-air on radio station CJBK in London, Ontario in 1977, moving back to Toronto to top-40 powerhouse CHUM that year, where he was heard as weekday evening host. In 1979, he branched out from his music personality work to function as an entertainment reporter and co-host with Jeanne Beker of the music newsmagazine The NewMusic until 1985. Roberts also worked briefly with CIXK in Owen Sound, Ontario in the 1980′s. He was a video jockey with CITY-TV owned MuchMusic, a music video channel on which he and Christopher Ward appeared as the first on-air personalities when the network launched in 1984. At MuchMusic he also hosted a one hour Heavy Metal video show called “The Power Hour.” He also served as an entertainment reporter and anchor on CITY-TV’s CityPulse, and became anchor of CityPulse Tonight in 1987 when Anne Mroczkowski moved from anchoring that newscast to join Gord Martineau on the 6 pm edition.

          Starting in 1989, Roberts began his 17-year association with CBS television and radio. Between 1989 and 1990 Roberts was an anchor/reporter for WCIX-TV (now WFOR-TV), the CBS-owned and operated television station in Miami, Florida. Roberts returned to Canada in September 1990 to co-host the national CTV morning show Canada AM, initially with Deborah McGregor, and later with Pamela Wallin. He also anchored the 5 and 11pm newscasts at CBS’s flagship station in New York, WCBS-TV.

It’s almost as if you expect us to bow down because Obambi let Bill + Hillary speak at the convention, lol, come on get real, they only did it so you dimwits don’t use her as a scape goat after Obambi loses Nov.

          So how long before Biden fakes a heart attack ([clutching his chest dramatically]
          “Oh, this is the biggest one I ever had. You hear that Elizabeth? I’m coming to join you honey.
          ) and Obama crawls on his hands and knees to beg Hillary for help?

          They DID look hung over. Oblahma’s head looked unnaturally large like it was swollen or something. Ha ha, that sounds funny but I’m serious. It really did look unnaturally large compared to Biden’s. It also looked like he had on too much eye shadow.

          • imustprotest

            Wow, hung over, eye shadow….it sounds like it musta been some kind of night. I wonder if Barry kissed Joe’s wife again? We’d have to check for lipstick smudges to be sure…..smudges on Biden’s wife of course!

          I heard quite a few UNNNNNNNNHs as he disavowed his OWN campaign’s vicious attack. When Obama said he looked forward to debating her, I wondered if he and Biden had switched places on the ticket!

          All Biden could say of substance is that he looked forward to meeting her.

          This was, I suspect, the one scenario they DID NOT ANTICIPATE.

          They really thought it was to be Romney or Pawlenty. There were even rumors going around that the Secret Service had been dispatched to guard Romney (who has private security who act like assholes and dress like MIB).

          The GOP, gotta hand it to ‘em, did a great job of misdirecting and keeping the self-satisfied and rather lazy press off-balance.

    Well, for that statement you will never get my vote and you will rue the day you uttered those words.

        Palin praised Obama’s energy plan on Aug 8!

        “I am pleased to see Senator Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska’s natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs,” Governor Palin said. “The steps taken by the Alaska State Legislature this past week demonstrate that we are ready, willing and able to supply the energy our nation needs.”

        In a speech given in Lansing, Michigan, Senator Obama called for the completion of the Alaska natural gas pipeline, stating, “Over the next five years, we should also lease more of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska for oil and gas production. And we should also tap more of our substantial natural gas reserves and work with the Canadian government to finally build the Alaska natural gas pipeline, delivering clean natural gas and creating good jobs in the process.”

          But the DNC set out to destroy the Clintons, especailly Hillary, an dthey have succeeded in this election cycle. And Obama never saw the wisdom of choosing Hillary as VP.

          So I have a choice between corrupt Obama (Chicago sleeze machine) who has flipflopped on so many issues there’s no way to tell what he will do once in office (except break more promises like he did on FISA). And Joe (My Son is A Lobbyist) Biden & his PRO-Bankruptcy Bill that was written by his credit card buddies in Delaware and started the predatory lending craze. (Did you know Joe has ties to the Chicaho-Daley machine – some saw The Daley’s ordered Obama to choose Joe).

          Or, I can vote for TWO MAVERICKS who fought their own parties on important issues.

        I don’t think they are Republicans (maybe temporarily), but they are the most irrational I’ve ever communicated with. Each time one of their former heroes showed support for Barack Obama, they systematically decide that they all had had lapses in judgment and that their own was infinitely better in all cases. They, on almost a daily basis are confronted with cognitive dissonance. Larry Johnson recently said “I like Joe Biden”, but when that contradicted his idea of an Obama presidency, he rationalized with the idea that he would become “The anti-Joe Biden”. They stepped out of the land of reason regarding all the players in this election. They need this site. They need constant reinforcement for the shaky foundation that their current contradictory opinions are built upon. It’s almost like a church.

              We use different criteria to make determinations. I’m sorry you don’t understand but we are not speaking the same language. We look at the whole package. We understand that these two women have different stands and issues but they have a lot in common as far as character and depth. We relate to their challenges. I am amazed that Hillary can still stand upright and have a smile on her face. I’m amazed at the challenges Sarah has taken on in her 44 years. She’s a winner in life just like Hillary. I’m going to love voting for this ticket just as I would have for Hillary as President. I would not have supported her as the junior member on Barack’s ticket. That would have been a completely wrong relationship. This one works. I will vote straight Republican ticket this time. The Democrats have seen the last of me.

    • Obama is a bum

      It does not matter how many years of experience someone has it is what they do during that time. Obama could sit his bigoted ass in the Senate for 30 years and in his case he would have 1 year of experience 30 times. The dunce has not done a damn thing yet in the Senate. Obama’s life experience is pathetic, the vast majority he would prefer to hide such as drugs, Wright, Ayers, Phleger, etc. His job experience tells a story of a failure. Obama gets off about writing about himself but his whole life is that of a failure.

      • Adam

        Yes, you don’t like him so he must be bad in every way. I guess every church needs a devil.

          Guess again. Not every church is like Obama’s which is full of devils. When I saw the congregation applaud and laugh at the vile spewing from Wright, Phleger, and Moss’ dirty mouths I knew that church was evil as is Obama.

          The race card is the only option you have with Obama. One needs to have an overwhelming fantasy for a black president to be pushing for that scumbag.

      Palin actually served two years as governor. Obambi started running for prez immediately and couldn’t be bothered to even convene a meeting of the committee he was supposed to chair, or show up to vote half the time.

  • Sojourner

    While I love Sarah Palin as McCain’s VP pick, this may not bode well for Clinton’s efforts further down the road. Provided there is a McCain win this year, with four years under her belt as VP Palin will only make the McCain-Palin ticket a stronger foe in 2012 when Clinton makes another likely stab at the Presidency. Furthermore, should McCain not opt for a second term (or even after a second term for 2016), Palin would be the likely heir to the Republican nomination and again with more executive experience under her belt, Palin may be better positioned to take the White House. After all, part of her appeal is that she is new and fresh-faced. By 2012 or 2016, Clinton will be even more over-exposed. While I prefer Clinton now rather than later, this does warrant some mulling over. Any thoughts?

    • Mr. Natural

      Yeah. Four years of the DC cesspool will be enough for her. Alaska is a beautiful place. I’d hate to see her corrupted.

        Hillary’s strong suit is the economy, which should be in greater shambles by then. And there is no one like Bill to campaign for her.

        She’ll win in 2012 hands down!

    • beverly leslie

      I think 4 years in politics is a long time, so nothing is guranteed. That being said, Hillary is in the position no matter who wins. What I don’t doubt is that Hillary will be a formidable opponet whenever she wants to run. I would support her and I think her base would too.

      People wanted Hillary and they will want her in four years. She will work her butt off in the Senate will become more powerful and pass legislation for all americans. This will make her a force even to a sitting Pres.

      The important thing is that bambi doesnt’ get in to office, he will try to solidify his power and knock Hillary to the side once again.

He made a very big mistake in not reaching out to us. He made a HUGE mistake in never trying to control the vile attacks towards Hillary supporters, from his supporters. And he made a huge mistake in never speaking out to control the attacks on Hillary during the primaries. And his wife made a big mistake when she was asked if she would support Hillary, should she be the nominee. And they made a HUGE mistake when they tried to paint the Clintons as racists. And they screwed up when they tried to threaten us with Roe v Wade.

    • Carmen Purser

      The Democratic Pary only have themselves to blame. Hillary’s experience and work in public service was far superior to BHO’s. Uncle Teddy (Kennedy) and Uncle Tom (Daschle)wanted their ‘fair hair’ child–they got him! With HRC at the top of the ticket the Democrarts could have enjoyed a 16 year run–8 for HRC; 8 for BHO. What do we have to look forward to now–possibly 16 years of a Republican run!

      I have found it amazing that we have had all of this public discussion about John McCain’s age (age discrimination). Now the pundits and others annointed by the ‘great one’ are beginning to pronouce McCain’s impending death–like the great one is not going to die at some point even if he is younger and in good health.

        No one is wishing that McCain & Palin do poorly in the WH (I like them both!), but the Repugs aren’t very good at fixing the economy and bringing down the deficit. (I don’t have faith in Obama either in this regard.) An economy in shambles is just inevitable, I think. HRC and her smart team can pull us out of such shambles though. I’m just saying . . . .

    • JoseyJ

      Hillary didn’t just lose. Major players in the Dem Party opposed her candidacy! Politicians that the Clintons had worked to elect!!
      Such abandonment! and none of them stood up to denounce the sexist attacks against her – or the ridiculous charges of racism against both Clintons.

      Do you really think Hillary wants to go through that hell again? – knowing her own party wouldn’t be supporting her.
      Of course, she may have known it this time – before she entered the race.

    • JP

      My thought is this: Why is there only a one spot for women in politics? Think about it, if McCain/Palin do shatter the glass ceiling and people get to see a woman VP in action, doesn’t that make it more likely for a woman to become potus? I think Palin paving the way for Presidency will be a blessing for women to come, no doubt.

      The bottom line is: Obama spit on the face of Hillary Clinton supporters, while McCain demonstrated that he hears the nation and what is taking place. With his actions McCain showed he is all for change and he is also sick of corruption in the government. McCain is ready to lead by example and he is ready to put his money where his mouth is. Now that is bold leadership to me.

      Obama has shown… well not so much backbone. He talks change and then picks Biden… Great choice for change..

      Anyway, I got off topic. I think this is a bold choice and it shows women that McCain hears women and takes seriously what women are saying. Of course Palin does not replace Clinton. No way. But what the choice does show is that McCain believes it is time for women to step to the driver’s seat. Now that is change I can believe in! I am very impressed by the McCain campaign and this bold choice.

      • Jane

        It is Hillary who has paved the way for women to be president not Palin.

      What I would look forward to in a challenge between Hillary and Sarah would be a campaign without the evil sexism and hatred that has been overwhelming in this one. I think they’d run on issues and welcome the contest. Wow! So would I. It would be a hard choice…let’s see…hmmm who to vote for? Smart or Smarter?

      It’s pretty simple this time…Thug or Hero? Oh! OK.

    • Heather

      True enough, but Clinton’s chances if Obama gets elected are even worse:

      If McCain/Palin get elected in 2008 and really are “more of the same”, then the country will be even MORE ready for change in 2012 than it is now, thus helping Hillary’s chances. If they ‘rule’ for 8 years, the natural yin-yang of party alternation will also help her.

      If Obama/Biden are elected in 2008 and they’re good, then they are in for 8 years and we’ve never had > 8 years of Dem ‘rule’ so she’d have an uphill battle to follow them. If they’re bad then they’re out in 4 years but the country won’t want a Dem to replace them.

    • Kal

      Not only that, but having a Downs child has already made Sarah Palin acutely aware of how medical disaster can strike any family, and the importance of supportive care services.

    • http://! Clinton Fan

      We’ll see. If McCain inherited his Mom’s constitution and longevity, he might not want to step aside for Palin in four years.

      If he does, and Palin is able to hit it out of the park, and be good at it, well, there ya go.

      It really IS about “country first” at the end of the day. It’ll be important to work hard for a Democratic legislature in that scenario, to preserve a bit of balance.

      If people agree with those who think like me, and want to see Hillary’s vision implemented in four years time, then Clinton will prevail.

      I’m not worried.

      What will be, will be.

  • Ever Vilgilant

    I am glad to see that experience no longer matters LOL, or is that only with respect to Sen. Obama? The only thing that Gov Palin has in common with Sen Clinton is that they are both women. She is a social conservative (yes, Roe V Wade as a fact of life will be a huge factor for the next president let’s be real), she supports a constitutional amendment with regards to defining marriage as only between a man and a woman (yes she vetoed a bill but search the GLBT sites for her record here). She is anti national healthcare, contrary to her speech she supported the bridge to no where. How does voting for her honor Sen Clinton in the least? I think the Republican Party had a number of women who were infinitely more qualified than an 18 month governor of one of the least populated states in the nation (Sen Hutchinson, Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, etc). Sen McCain is counting on women voting for her, strictly because she is a woman. Just my 2 cents worth.

        Speaking of liars…

        Hey Larry, care to explain how a national security guy like yourself can justify such a neophyte being one melanoma away from the top job?

        Here’s what another “national security expert” has to say…

        David Frum…
        ..
        Since the Second World War, 10 men have received the Republican nomination for vice-president. Three of those men – Richard Nixon, Bob Dole and George H.W. Bush – continued on to win the presidential nomination for themselves, and two actually became president. (A fourth nominee, Thomas Dewey’s 1948 running mate, Earl Warren, rose to arguably even greater power as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. And you could add a fifth case: Gerald Ford went on to the presidency after being appointed vice-president in 1973.)

        Should John McCain lose in November, Sarah Palin has just pole-vaulted into front-runner status for 2012. Should Mr. McCain win, her grip on the next Republican nomination will become a lock.

        So this is the future of the Republican party you are looking at: a future in which national security has bumped down the list of priorities behind abortion politics, gender politics, and energy politics. Ms. Palin is a bold pick, and probably a shrewd one. It’s not nearly so clear that she is a responsible pick, or a wise one.

    Here are Palin’s views on a number of different issues.

    • Ever Vilgilant

      She opposes same-sex marriage, but has said she has gay friends. Palin complied with an Alaskan state Supreme Court order and signed an implementation of same-sex benefits into law under protest, stating that legal options to avoid doing so had run out.

      This is why she vetoed the benefits bill, no choice!!!

    McCain is not listening to women, he is insulting them. How can you support a women who has done nothing to support women’s rights. McCain passed over much more qualified VP choices only for political gains trying to capture “disenfranchised” Hillary voters. Imagine Palin as President, imagine the state of our economy, what the Supreme Court will look like for your children, the list goes on. If you supported Hillary you must wipe off the dust and soldier on forward in her name by voting for Obama!! Hillary’s passion is universal healthcare. McCain/Palin have no plan for healthcare aside from maybe a “saving’s account”?????????????

      You are full of it.

      When I supported Sen. Hillary Clinton, I supported her for her understanding of the issue and her record. Not because she is a woman, not because of her name, rather I supported her because she gets it. Gov. Sarah Palin gets it, Sen. John Gets it. I know Where all the three stand. I do not know where Obama stands.

      Mind you President Bush of the republican party won two terms, without your vote and the democratic party members vote. what made you think that Gov. Sarah Palin asking you to vote for her. You notice, she is a GOV. she has actually done something. What has Obama Done, zip it.

      We democrate should learn to honest.

    • Obama is a bum

      Before you have the ignorance of knocking someone make sure you have a candidate who is not a complete jackass. Obama: 20 years in a racist anti-American church, 20 years embracing a terrorist who bombed the US, 20 year spiritual advisor who preaches racism and disrespect, a compulsive liar, minimal or no accomplishments is every job he has held.

      You don’t have a leg to stand on that is why you keep your race card close at hand — you have nothing else.

    • Heather

      McCain actually gives equal pay for equal work to his staff (unlike Obama).

      I’ve had enough of the “anything goes” mentality of male dominated liberalism. The violent movies coming out of Hollywood are poison for our children and I worry about what it’s doing to this generation of young men. Seen much ugliness lately, among that group?

      Plus hip hop culture is vilely misogynist. Then there’s the way CNN treated women long before Hillary came along (attacking and feeding off young women celebrities on a daily basis).

      There’s a virulent strain of misogyny running through the left wing of the Democratic party, and it’s made me take a second look at moderates and yes, even Republicans. They may be sexist, too, but then again those silly “values” they talk about may actually be protective of women in ways that liberal values are not.

      I’m not saying I know, but I’m saying I’m curious.

  • http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/07/18/born-in-the-usa/#more.3665 pumawhisper

    I was a true Hillary supporter but because the DNC screwed up, the election was stolen from her. I will never forgive the DNC for what they did.

    I feel compelled now to support the brilliant move on McCain in his VP pick.

    Don’t try to scare me with the Roe vs Wade. It takes more than a President to pick the supereme judges.
    Although as a Democrat I have always supported pro-choice as believe others deserve the right to choose but, personally for myself I believe birth begins at conception and when God gives you a special child it is because you were chosen to receive such a special gift.
    I am a chosen one. My 42 year old Down Syndrome angel is in her downward side to life and won’t be with me much longer but she has given me 42 years of complete joy.

    She broke many barrier’s such as being the first DS to be allowed to go to Montesorri Preschool where she fit in perfectly with the other children. She was one of the first to be in educable mentally handicap program where she learned to read and write and was able to address the school board one evening asking to save the Special Ed center for those special individuals who couldn’t quite make it in the mainstream as she had. She was mainstreamed in typing class and learned to type. She showed them and I am so proud of her.

    But her short 42 years of life is coming to its conclusion as is the case with many lovely down syndrome children in mid-life. But hey many parents loose “normal” children for various reasons and I have had the glory of being her mother for 42 long years. I was the lucky one.

    So NO one better preach to me about Roe Vs Wade.
    It was my decision to keep this precious child and yes there have been challenges but I was up to the task and was one of Kansas’s most vocal advocate in the early years paving the way for those down’s angels yet to be born in our educational system. No regrets EVER!!!!!

    Go Governor Palin. Nothing you are about to face will be as rewarding as raising that delightful family but I am glad that you are going to try. Enjoy the 4 years as VP then return home and enjoy that family of yours. You deserve it for the sacrifice you are willing to make for us to clear out corrupt politicians. You go girl.

    You may not be Hillary Clinton with her commander in chief skills, but I bet you could be her little sister as I think you possess the strength of character that she has. You need it as the news media will try to put you down at every turn. Stay strong.

      Obviously God blessed you because you have the strength and character to raise such a special child. I just hope that helping to pave the way for others and being a pioneer in the fight isn’t completely wiped out by the pain of outliving your child. May God bless you in this difficult time.

    • Heather

      What a beautiful story.

  • Indy

    What a week…crying on Wednesday when Hillary performed the last act of the DNC play. Crying today when Sarah Palin was confirmed to be McCain’s VP choice. Tonight I did not let nasty words against McCain’s choice bother me. He made a brilliant move, on many levels. He reached out to Hillary supporters (and women in general), he defied the prevailing wisdom of party and pundits. At the same time he managed to rally his naysayers within the Republican party. A stunning decision. And the pundits and Dem partisans can say what they want about the qualifications of a governor to be (a heartbeat away from) president…we’ve elected them often: Reagan, Carter, Bush, and Clinton for starters.

    I have no reservations about the bottom of the McCain ticket (unlike the top of the Biden ticket).

  • Annie

    I think this is a definite maverack John McCain choice…. Excellent and it is time America had a woman in a position of power in America…. All modern countries have had and some not so modern… Great news.

    As far as Hillary is concerned – she gave up any chances for a future run for POTUS 2012 when she supported Barack and let her delegates go without a proper roll call. For one thing she won’t have the same financial backers to finance her campaign – lots of upset folks out there who put in their hard earned cash supporting her. The democratic party seems to be a party of facists and big business – they are not the party of the blue collar workers and middle class anymore…

    There will have to be a miracle that Obama be outed before the General Election in November, at which time she just may get the Nomination – though with Joe Biden as an Obama choice I am not sure what that would mean…. Her 18 mil to his 9,500… seems a stretch.

    Things are getting interesting and I am going to watch the Republican Convention for the very first time – I couldn’t bear to watch the Demagogue Convention.

      She isn’t a creationist. What she said was reasonable–if some kid brings it up in class, it’s idiotic to shush the kid and refuse to discuss it. But sorry, she does not advocate teaching creationism in the classroom.

      She did not support Buchanan. She said she’d wear a button for ANY presidential candidate that showed up in her town. Buchanan bothered to turn up.

      She’s not “anti-gay.” If she were she would have dug in her heels, contested the decision, and not complied with the law to give them partner benefits. She’s no more “anti-gay” than Obama, who panders on the one hand, and then runs to the anti-gay black churches sucking up for votes with Kirbyjon “Cure Your Gay Bootcamp” Caldwell and Donnie “Pray away the gay” McClurkin. That crunching sound you heard between gospel tunes was gay folks getting crushed under the wheels of Obama’s bus.

      She is personally opposed to abortion. She has said Roe will never be in jeopardy because women would “revolt.”

      And…she’s got more time in as CinC of a state National Guard than OBAMA does. OR Biden, for that matter. McCain beats her in terms of time as a military leader.

      A presidential contest between two women would be unprecedented; and no doubt the discourse would be at a much higher level than it currently is with your ass hat candidate in the race.

      I really enjoyed his stump speech the first time I heard it…from Hillary. If this clown had one original thought his head would implode. Get bent.

      Oh, so you think McCain/Palin will do such a great job that in 2012 the country won’t be yearning for a change? Hm … you must be a Republican.

  • http://www.theindependentview.com Matthew Weaver

    McCain has deflated Obama’s false hope and change with a bold move to make Gov. Palin his running mate. Obama again came across Friday as ungracious–about the only thing he didn’t do was to criticize McCain for picking a woman. It is comical to hear Obama and company complaining tht she has no experience when she has more unexaggerated and real experience than Obama.

    I look foward to seeing Hillary Clinton run for president again in the future and I also, as a NY resident, will support her continued reelection to the Senate.

    For the moment, I now support McCain and Palin even if I don’t agree with all of their positions. Which is also true of my support to Clinton.

    • Indy

      Also true of my support for Clinton. And if 2012 brings a Clinton/Palin presidential race, I think that would top the historical nature of this years race. Bring it on…such a scenario would electrify presidential politics and voter participation.

    Clinton Congratulates Palin, Says ‘We Should All Be Proud’

    by Russell Berman
    Fri, 29 Aug 2008 at 4:31 PM

    Senator Clinton has just released a rather gracious statement on Senator McCain’s selection of Governor Palin of Alaska as his running mate. “We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin’s historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain,” Mrs. Clinton said. “While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate.”

    In tone, the statement matches the one put out by Senators Obama and Biden welcoming Ms. Palin to the race, and not the earlier statement from an Obama spokesman lambasting her lack of experience and ties to Bush administration policies. With a woman on the Republican ticket, Mr. Obama will likely need Mrs. Clinton now more than ever to take a more critical stance on Ms. Palin if he wants to keep the former first lady’s supporters from defecting to Mr. McCain.

      You are a little mixed up. The left wing liberal democrats are the ones that “f’ed” up the Democratic Party by coronating Obambi.

      We are the Conservative and Moderate Democrats.

      By calling us “rich whites” proves that you are the bigot.

      Sarah Palin, on the other hand, has a trained hunters eye–and a steady hand–from all of her shooting practice.

      On motor skills alone, it’s a no brainer as to who is qualified to be president. Heck, she can even play a mean game of basketball!

    I wouldn’t worry too much about Hillary – she is a strong woman and there is a place for her in the future Palin or not. McCain likes Hillary and will likely offer her a position of some sort in an attempt to maverickly bi-partisan. Obama won’t offer her anything. She will have a better future with McCain than sexist Obama.

    …and her supporters, it is Sarah Palin that will be walking through it.

    uhhhh, sorry she is only VP.

    But, if all goes well – McCain/Palin will win, and Hillary will become Majority Leader, and the most powerful person in the Senate

    No, she will be president in 2012.

    You republicans have been trying to get Hillary to quit the race since Feb and run for Majority leader. You are so afraid and rightly so, that Hillary will run again in 2012 and of course win. She will be walking through the glass ceiling not Palin.

      Hillary will be president in 2012.

    Hell, if 10 years-olds could vote, he probably would have picked Hannah Montana for VP.

    She also only has 20 months less experience in government than Palin.

Obama tries to act like he hardly knows William Ayers but they were as tight as Obama and Rezko, thick as thieves

    I’m totally confused now. Is this a righty or lefty blog? It’s been a while since I visited and I thought it was lefty and pro-Hillary (admittedly, like me) but now everyone hollering about voting for McCain.

    I guess I’d like someone to briefly outline the overall position here. Sorry for being a newb, but I’m completely lost here.

    • Jane

      My observations is that it’s mainly republican, but Hillary supporters found a haven here for quite awhile.

      • Pete

        Ahh. Thanks. I must have ended up here in the heat of the Primary. Insomnia is a mofo.

        I was all for Hillary and never “anti-McCain” or anything until Palin. What a wierd choice. She makes George W. look moderate, and her resume + McCain’s age is honestly frightening. I know I’m an ageist.

        I am interested to see if it works; it is a good gimmick. Ya’ll are really good at that, and I write that with begrudging admiration.

        • http://safari AnnieCarmel

          Yes, you are ageist. McCain’s 92 y/o mother flew to Europe a couple of years ago on her own and when she got to France and tried to rent a car, she was told she was too old so she just bought one instead. She had a great trip and I believe I remember that she traveled around for a couple of months wherever the notion took her. She’s elegant and smart and looks about 15 years younger, wrinkles and all. When people mention his age, he usually refers them to her. Maybe you should suspend judgement about age.

    • msindy

      Well, Pete, a lot of us lifetime Democrats who supported Hillary are turned off to the max by Obama and his supporters. So many are considering voting for McCain. Palin made the decision a little easier.

      Pretty simple, actually.

    • Manda

      You see, the people here (not me. I’m just here for the lulz,) are really, really bitter about Obama getting the nom.

      So, they’ve decided to eschew the principles and ideals of Hillary (because they are bitter), and vote for a misogynistic old man and a some Alaskan governor. BTW, we are supposed to be impressed by her because she has five kids.

      I’ve supported Obama from the beginning, but I can honestly say that I would have voted for Hillary if she had won the nom. Unlike the majority of these people, who seem to want America to go down in flames out of spit.

      Talk about cutting your nose off.

      • imustprotest

        “Some Alaskan Governor”….why do you hate Alaska? It’s our 49th state.

        • Manda

          I say “some Alaskan governor” because Palin came out of left field. No one’s ever heard of her. If he had to pick a woman, there are more qualified candidates for the VP slot. As much as I loathe McCain, and as much as I want to see him fail, I think he really screwed the pooch on this one.

          • imustprotest

            Ha! Well you’re gonna hear a lot more about her and maybe learn something along the way! I hope Barry Soretoes/Obama is paying attention….Alaska is the 49th out of 50…that’s 5-0 states.

          • tampagurl

            Well then Manda, if he screwed up then you have nothing to worry about so why are all of you here tonight.

            I’m sure Manda knows little about any governors.

              True, I’m young. And it’s true that I honestly don’t care about state politics.

              However, I’ve been eligible to vote since 2000, and I’ve followed the process pretty closely.

              Oh, what the hell, you got me! I don’t know much about Alaskan governors. And guess what? I don’t care.

              I’m here because I’m bored. If people would just quit responding to me, I wouldn’t feel compelled to reply in kind.

        How can a mysogynistic old man (ageist ass)be sexist if he gives the nod to a female. Like I stated before. A sexist trashes his female opponent, using operatives to keep his hands clean, then promises to consider her as VP, but lies about it because he never even considered vetting her, then picks a less qualified white dude. THAT’S a mysogynistic asshole and his name is Barky.

        And guess what, most of us here would have voted for Obama if he had “won” the nom. Thing is, he didn’t “win” it, he stole it. He stole it using misogynism, he stole is using racism, he stole it by literally cheating in the caucuses, he stole it by smearing the best President of the last 40 years, he stole it by paying off superdelegates, he stole it by taking illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals.

        Any questions?

    • Katmoon

      There isn’t an overall position, just a respect(we try) for your right to vote for whomever you choose. Yes many Hillary supporters here, and many Republicans, Democrats and Independents, and a lot of trolls.
      People who have actual discussion, disagree often, and then there are some who come just to troll and insult, and as you will see(by some of the troll comments) that doesn’t go over well. We aren’t great at taking sexist, racist remarks, no matter who they are thrown at. I would also add it appears many of us here either are voting Indep or McCain or not voting, but that is only an observation. Issues are talked about, and it is interesting to note, many here are not one issue voters, so we have a wide range of people, with many, many thoughts and opinions.

        McCain (thru his wife) is IMMENSELY wealthy and livin’ the good life; he’s SEVENTY-TWO YEARS OLD – do you think he wants the job of President for the MONEY???? And, as a SEVENTY-TWO YEAR OLD (not saying that is OLD, but…) do you really think he wants to be ‘powerful’ and ‘famous’? I think Obummer wants to be RICH, POWERFUL and FAMOUS. I think it’s ALL ABOUT OBAMA – and to heck with us AMERICAN CITIZENS!

    I watched John McCain as he stood next to Governor Palin during her speech and I just felt a lot of admiration for him…to be so gutsy and…COOL!

    I also felt some kind of responsibility inside to help her to win. I feel like…I know what sort of awful sexism will come her way, and I know how nasty the Obama camp is.

    I want McCain/ Palin to beat Obama/ Biden.

    I LIKE John McCain a lot for doing this.

    This pick has spun the Obama campaign into severe PANIC mode….To know it was the right pick one only has to listen to Hillary’s comments…one reporter said Hillary was basically saying good pick John McCain. I know it had to of saddened Hillary for we all know she has it all, but this paves the way for her even more. I will cast my vote not just for John McCain but also for the future of Hillary. I also will enjoy every minute of it as a SLAP in the face to the Obama campaign, you may have stopped Hillary for the moment but you will not get to play the same game twice. EAT CRAP OBAMA….THE WOMEN OF THIS COUNTRY WILL NOW SHOW YOU HOW IS BOSS

    She seems like a fine addition to the ticket and as an Alaskan and a Christian I’m proud to offer up my vote in this Fall’s election. With that said, there’s a rumor circulating around Fox River here regarding her position on an epidemic that’s unraveling many Alaskan small towns. That epidemic is called Crystal Wolf. I pray the good lord will get this under control by the Fall, but Crystal Wolf is her dirty little secret.

    An All-Out Battle for Women’s Votes Begins

    Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s former communications director, said Palin could peel away some votes from Obama and Biden. “Both campaigns seemed to have decided that Hillary Clinton’s 18 million voters represent a key swing bloc in this election — both Barack Obama’s speech and John McCain’s pick were at least partially aimed at them,” Wolfson said in an e-mail. “The fact that Palin is pro-life and pro-gun will be a block for many of Senator Clinton’s supporters — but not all. And it will raise the question for many why Senator Obama didn’t pick Senator Clinton as his running mate.”

    Interviews with women who supported Clinton suggested that the fact that McCain picked someone as conservative as Palin will be reluctant to vote for McCain, even for those who have been flirting for months with the idea of defecting to the GOP ticket.

    Amilyn Lanning, who knocked on doors for Clinton near her home in Zionsville, Pa., before her state’s primary, was intrigued by the idea of Palin until she did some research and concluded that she is “a cookie-cutter Republican.”

    “She’s a little too conservative. She’s very much pro-life. I don’t think she’s supportive of gay rights” said Lanning, who is gay and a lifelong Democrat. “It was a nice appeal, but having her versus someone like Clinton just doesn’t hold any water for me.”

    Even Conway emphasized that women do not vote simply on gender, and Democrats such as Sen. Barbara Boxer (Calif.) argued that McCain would have been better off tapping one of his Senate colleagues.

    “Senator McCain had so many other options if he wanted to put a woman on his ticket, such as Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison or Senator Olympia Snowe — they would have been an appropriate choice compared to this dangerous choice,” Boxer said in a statement, adding that when it came to Palin, “The only similarity between her and Hillary Clinton is that they are both women. On the issues, they could not be further apart.”

    Palin herself framed her selection in historic terms yesterday, noting it came “88 years almost to the day after the women of America first gained the right to vote,” and she seemed to go out of her way to pay homage to Clinton, while declaring that she would carry on her quest to become the first woman elected to national office.

    “It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America,” she told the crowd. “But it turns out the women of America aren’t finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all.”

    For one former Clinton supporter at least, the message hit home, and she said she will be voting for McCain. Sherry Morrison, 46, a medical billing executive who lives in Roanoke, called Palin’s speech “a wink and a nod to the Hillary supporters. It was, ‘Hey, if the Democrats are too stupid to break that glass ceiling, we will do it for them.’ ”

    Gov. Palin is a much better VP choice than Biden. I just sent the following email to Larry & Susan. I hope they do a piece on this information:

    Hi Larry & Susan —

    I think there are more devious reasons Joe Biden was picked for VP over Hillary. The Chicago Daley Political Machine & Rezko have ties to Biden.

    Please take a look at these articles:

    Quote:

    Biden has described himself as a 30-year friend of a key figure in the Rezko trial who’s pleaded guilty to a federal extortion charge in Chicago and is awaiting sentencing.

    Complete article:

    http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/rezko/1124666,CST-NWS-rezko25.article

    Quote:

    Mr. Cari was a top campaign official and successful fundraiser for Sen. Biden in 1988, during the Delaware senator’s maiden run for president. Biden’s campaign chairman 20 years ago was William Daley, brother of Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.

    Together, Cari and Bill Daley raised more money for Biden than any other candidate in the Democratic field.

      And don’t forget that it just so happened to be Biden’s son, who is AG of Delaware, who engineered the arrest of Larry Sinclair at the NPC as soon as that event happend.

      In another amazing coincidence, No Quarter reported yesterday that those charges had been suddenly dropped, apparently within hours of BO securing the formal nomination in Denver.

      So there don’t seem to be a lot of clean hands in that gang.

  • lincoln

    Obama is a stupid Presidential candidate who refused to pick Clinton for the vice presidential ticket despite Clinton garnered 18 millions of formidable voters, period.

    Obama doesn’t have the vision nor wisdom of a president to lead the United States of America.

    It will be doomed for USA if Obama is the CIC.

    McCain is a man of wisdom by picking Palin. McCain deserves to be the CIC. My vote is for the McCain/Palin ticket.

    Obama/ Biden ticket can join Osama on the mountains bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan and continuing their struggling against the ‘Great Satan” for all I don’t give a damn!

    I love seeing the panic on the faces of the Osama, excuse me, Obama supporters. They cry lack of experience when they’re #1 has less experience. Palin has executive experience being governor. Obama started campaigning from day 1 of his election to the senate. I’m not sure he’s done a day of actual work in the senate at all. he’s a joke. most obama supporters don’t even know why they’re voting for him. they just think he’s likable and sounds nice when he reads a teleprompter. obama has more terrorist experience than presidential. McCain was never my favorite candidate but he’s been making some great moves lately.
    McCain/Palin ’08!

  • pumba

    Yes, yes… because executive experience as a governor is very important. I mean, just think if George Bush hadn’t spent time as the Governor of Texas… he might have turned out not to be the great President he’s been for the last few years!

    And why would Democrats who supported Hillary Clinton be concerned about voting for socially and fiscally conservative Republicans who oppose their deeply held convictions about the proper functions of government? After all, it’s far more important to feel good about voting against that mean, mean Obama who was so mean to Hillary than it is to vote for a candidate who shares her political views and ideology. And it’s not at all inconsistent that good Democrats would become Fox new watching, Hannity loving, Limbaugh licking Rove disciples after such a contentious primary, where the most qualified candidate — the most progressive candidate — the candidate who deeply cares about traditional Democrative values was treated badly by her opponent and the media.

    All of this really does justify making a Faustian bargain with the Republican party to soothe sore feelings and extract political revenge. Perfectly understandable, reasonable, and logical.

    Good job PUMAs! Stay strong! NOBAMA! And stay ever so classy, won’t you?

    • Heather

      We’re only following the dictates of that fine exemplar of Democratic Party leadership, Donna Brazile, who decided two years ago that in order to save the Democratic party, she would have to destroy it. And damn, that strategy is workin’!

  • JohninCA

    If Palin is so lightweight, how did she make the punditry almost entirely forget about Obama’s big speech?

  • vi

    What the Obots, do note realize is that its the chosen ones character and record we are not voting for, not his skin color, Obamas koolaide has spilled over and where not cleaning it up. O, has no conviction ain fighting for the causes he stands by other than if you scratch my back ill scratch urs, corruption that McCain and Palin have had a conviction on stomping out in government, wastefull spending, and listening to the voters of Alaska, she has fought all those lobbyist and corrupted politicians, and she will continue to fight against the good ole boy system.

    Hillary was the best candidate for the democratic party, and those words of Brazile carry on for a long time, they do not need us, so let them eat cake. The Dnc and Obama threw 18 + million voters to the curb by disrespecting the Clintons, they did little to stop the sexism and racism they labeled them with, tore down Hillarys and Bills work as down playing their achievements, demonizing them with the disgracefull tactics Obamas bloggers treated not only them, but the supporters, voter registration fraud is not ok.
    McCain is not preaching the word of change, he is bring change to washington, to fight the good ole boys of corruption. McCain was listening to those supporters, and Palin will be addressing the issues that matter to woman, something McCain cannot, she is a very smart lady and has a conviction on doing what is right for the people, she works for the people and no one else, and she will fight to do what is best for them. Unlike Obama he speakes of change but does not have a record of doing so, the words of change has turned out to be just another politician, same old politics, Obama has gotten to where he is at , by the good ole boy system and dirty chicago politics.

    We are selecting President, with experience and Palin was just the icing on the cake, she is the only one on either ticket with executive experience in running anything, be very scared O’s because his star is going to fall, we must bann together and voice one vote one voice Nobama, I will not be a silent vote for O by staying home, a third party vote, or a fall in line vote, it is not ok to have sexism and racism supported by Obamas campaign and the Dnc lets elect McCain and Palin for 2008, and then lets fight the corruption in our democratic party, and focusing on removing Dean Pelosi Reed, Kerry,Acorn and Brazile, along with Ill senator Prez Jones who called Hillary supporter an Uncle Tom a disgrace to the party by attacking other democrats, and the Dnc turning its head by allowing Jones arrogant butt vote and not removing as a delegate or office, it is not ok.

    I own my vote, and i will not bow down to the call for party unity, woman and men must vote and unite in not electing Obama to office and the radical company he keeps, Ayers, Farahkhan,dirty Chicago politics, God Bless American not God da___ America, what a disgrace of the company he keeps, No thank you NObama ever, Country before Party, always.

    Actually Hillary is not more qualified. She was never a governor; she was only the governor’s wife. She was never the president; she was only the president’s wife. AND Hillary is certainly is not a member of the NRA. Today that is a pretty good skill for a women to have, especially after the way women are regarded by the Democrats as amply demonstrated by the primaries.

    I will not allow the scare tactics of the Obama campaign and the DNC sway my vote. The DNC and the Obama campaign have done too much damage (FL & MI, superdelegates, caucus fraud, choosing the least experienced candidate, the sexism that they never spoke against) for me to feel connected to the party. And, I don’t take kindly to threats on my reproductive rights. Palin does not want to ban abortion. She opposes it personally. Roe v. Wade will not be overturned. And, if “they” wanted to overturn it, it could be done right now. I’m ready to see a woman doing something in the Oval Office other than putting on the Easter Egg hunt.

    Go McCain/Palin!

  • Milly

    Oh my, isn’t Mr. One=Oblame ironic? He was so proud in his acceptance, remember ‘humbly acceptance’, yeah I know his actions say the contrary, ‘that is the humility he knows=arrogance’and that he remembered how his own grandmother was a victim of sexism and if elected he fiercely (my words) won’t allow that to continue to happen, equal payment and equal consideration when hiring or selecting a woman for a powerful, executive, or high-level position. But who the hell wrote this man the speech, and this almost man Mr. One had to memorize this speech and still said what he said, (his own words shoot back at him?)

    Read what he said in his speech:

    http://donklephant.com/2008/08/28/obamas-full-speech/

    “And when I hear a woman talk about the difficulties of starting her own business, I think about my grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle-management, despite years of being passed over for promotions because she was a woman. She’s the one who taught me about hard work. She’s the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life. She poured everything she had into me.”

    What a jerk, that is exactly what he did when allowed the DNC to use him as an the obstacle and excuse for the DNC not giving their support (to Sen HRC) and defeating with their non-democratic actions, the hope that in the DNC women could find fairness. No the DNC did exactly that, women in DNC cannot be selected as a nominee for POTUS, as long as there is a “young, groom, tall, Harvard-Oxford educated man” that by any chance is the best to represent the Democratic Party even if there is a woman with the same high standards levels of education, elegant with class, and with more experience than the “man”.

    Oh grandma, your grandchild is ‘just words’!!! He couldn’t say NO, to the DNC ‘to put off’, I would not be ‘part of your game’ of not allowing this great woman and qualified senator to become the President, no, his ambitions and ego, were beyond ‘a past promise to his great grandomother’, he betrayed whatever ‘high principles and no sexism’ he said his grandmother tried to poured into him!!!

    We have the best qualified candidate for the the presidency that happens to be a woman, Sen. Hillary Rodham? What? To be a woman is a new “sin”?

    They say oh, Sen Obama is a getleman, that’s why he says “ladies first”? Umm…maybe in his mind he is the best qualified woman, you never know, he might be suffering from ‘feeling he is a woman in the body of a man’, could it be that? Nah, he/she whatever that man is, is just a fraud and a farce.

    What a disgusting man. Now he is furious, umm…What? Oblame does not like Gov Sarah Palin, umm get used to her and if you keep trying to smear her, then is time for the MSM to provide all the negative information they have about you for all the people to see it! Let’s be even and fair once and fo all.

        The point is, I guess, that you are voting for McCain’s vagina-for-hire rather than his policies.

He actually did a really good job of making everyone think how little experience Obama has, and how irresponsible it was for the DNC to put him as the nominee.

        taboobie, no I wouldn’t vote for Hillary if she was the candidate for VP with Nobama, because I don’t like the self-proclamed ‘american idol’ at all. I’ve been a registered democrat up until yesterday. I’ve decided to go Republican this time, no matter who the candidate for VP would be. I am not a feminist either. Luckily, I’ve never needed to fight for my rights as a human being. Regarding abortion, I think it is time women take responsibility for their acts and avoid getting pregnant if they are not ready to become mothers, so they won’t have to get an abortion. McCain is planning to look into allowing women to have abortions in special cases. That’s good enough for me.

  • morganjane

    I went to the store after hearing it was Palin and in the parking lot a man was on a cell phone saying “he will pick up all Hillary’s supporters now” I couldn’t tell if he was glad or mad.. he was shouting.
    This choice made me so happy. Even though I am a democrat, I am a mother of 3 and from a small town. I hate Roe. vs. Wade being hung over my head and debated by men!! Roe vs. wade for me personally means little, I am fixed just like the cat! Roe vs. Wade for me is about protecting women’s rights… we shouldn’t lose our right to live because we are pregnant forced to die and leave our other children motherless, or be forced to have a child due to rape… but Babies do have rights, too. They shouldn’t be left to die after a botched abortion and shouldn’t be carelessly aborted because someone accidentally got pregnant and is having her 4th abortion! Obviously, that person needs to be on birth control!
    Anyway, a woman (one with children) will be better on these issues than a man ANYDAY! Most women become more conservative when they have children. I still hold lots of my way left views but feel like I have been forced to really think about issues this year… what I really think about things, not just going with the party.
    Just supporting Hillary made me change alittle. She brought me back to reality, I had been a move on nut.

    • taboobie

      So basically, you will vote McCain because he picked someone with a vagina as a VP candidate?

      Who cares about policies, eh? All that matters is whether you have a vagina or not!

      • morganjane

        I was voting for McCain because Obama is a puppet! Obama stole the nomination and is a crooked bastard. I don’t even know who he really is, I thought he had a stepfather but then learned he was raised by a single mom? I didn’t like being painted as a racist because I preferred someone with experience and character, Hillary. I didn’t like how Obama used the media to steal the nomination… Fl. and Mich. was going to count all along and Hillary won them. I am a Democrat have been a long time + I like McCain. ALot of Dems LOVE McCain. He is more like Hillary than BHO. Plus McCain has been trying to win our votes, OBambie has not been. Obama’s supporters come on here and fight with us calling us names and trying to bully us with roe. v. wade.
        I was just thrilled that McCain picked a woman. McCain is the one that is suppose to be the President, the one with experience… on the job training is for the VP… Obama and Biden should switch places…then if Biden loses Obama I might support the ticket.
        This had nothing to do with Vaginas… but that is what I expected Obama and co. to do REDUCE women to Vaginas!!

      “I mean seriously, are we only good for what we’ve got between our fugging legs?!”

      Apparently you are, since you choose to vote for McCain rather than Obama because McCain picked someone with a vagina as a VP candidate.

      • TeakWoodKite

        WTF??

        Yup, that’s why. Must be.

        taboobie, you all still don’t “get it”. Obama said that McCain doesn’t “get it”, but it’s you all. With the way you all have dished out so many sexist comments at Hillary and her supporters throughout the primary season and are now in fact doing the same to Palin–we aren’t going to sit back and take this anymore. Palin is more qualified than Obama and yet she is being scrutinized more than he ever was by the media. He was a community organizer and everyone sang his praises at those news desks. This woman has served as a Mayor and is currently the GOVERNOR of one of the most important states in this country where energy policy is concerned and yet her qualifications are questioned. She’s qualified, McCain is NOT the devil and I’m voting fo their ticket. Either you wrap your mind around it now, or you’ll face the reality come November 5th when newspapers around the globe have McCain’s and Palin’s photos on their front pages, marking the history of their election.

        Come here much? We were already voting McCain! A woman is a plus. Gosh I would vote McCain if he put ronald mcDonald on the ticket! I wouldn’t vote Obama if Hillary was VP!! There is nothing that could be done to make me vote BHO. He lost me in the Primary, at the RBC meeting. Obama could have bent down and planted his lips on Bill’s ass instead of Biden’s wife and I would still not vote for him.

  • James Limbaugh

    1. McCain is 72 years old. His dad died slightly younger of a heart attack. So did his grabddad.
    2. He’s had 4 bouts of cancer.
    3. His VP choice has no experience in foreign policy or national security whatsoever.
    4. She wanted anti-Semite Pat Buchanan to be president.

    It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess how good a friend of Israel, and Jews more generally, President Palin will be if President McCain, God forbid, dies or becomes incapacitated in office.

    Would President Palin appoint Pat Buchanan to her administration?

    Would he have her ear?

    And let’s not even get into the murky machinations of Palin’s own “Troopergate.” Even though the trooper she was trying to get fired was a creep, putting pressure on his boss of bosses to fire him – and then firing said boss to put a more pliable rubber stamp figurehead in place – smacks of Nixon. Can you say “Archibald Cox,” American Girl in Italy?

    The liberal – and even conservative – press are already having a field day. This morning, we learn that McCain is dispatching investigators to Alaska to look into Palin’s “Troopergate”. Did McCain’s team even bother to vet Palin?

    It is in truth McCain and Palin who are SCREWED, American Girl. This solidifies my decision to vote for Bob Barr.

    • morganjane

      firing a crooked state trooper even if it was all true is a drop in the bucket compared to what is to come for OBAMA.

    • joe dombrowski

      And Jeb Bush can be defense secretary…and maybe Karl Rove will be secretary of state!

      Don’t come crying in a few months once you’ve realized what a mistake you made just voting for a set of ovaries…

        Wow, no…you’re not a sexist pig. Keep it up. Your true colours keep shining through. PS. Have fun at Hooters tonight. I’m sure that’s why you hate women so much. That’s the closest you get to a real pair of boobs.

        You are referring to the people under an Obama Administration since Rove gave political, and Obama finally admitted to it.

    • noproblama

      Troopergate? Oh, you mean that wife beater she had fired? Yeah, can have wife beaters being discriminated against. Where will all the future Obama supporters come from?

      Palin ran a state for two years, what has barry done, ever?

      Let’s face it, experience aside, he ain’t the brightest bulb in the box. I bet it won’t take Sarah two years to get a rudimentary grasp of the issues like Backtrack America.

  • morganjane

    McCain has forced conservatives to vote for a women for vp because they will never vote Obama. I LOVE IT!!! There are some conservative women that were convinced Hillary’s emotions might get in her way??? Yes, that was their arguement, women are emotional. Now those women will vote woman..all the way! This has done more for women than even Hillary running because republican women will figure out that a woman can do the job too!! Then Hillary will run and there will be more people willing to vote for a woman.

  • BellTolls4Thee

    If women fall for this cheap ploy, this ridiculous trick, it only proves how stupid we are as a nation. Sarah Palin is no doubt a strong woman but she will not advance women’s rights. As a matter of fact she will undermine them. How cynical and calculating a pick this is. I can’t believe women in America will throw away the progress they have made to have a TOKEN woman on the ballot. She is no Hillary Clinton!

    • WildChild

      only Hillary Clinton is Hillary Clinton and a VP Palin won’t have the power to affect woman’s rights. A president Palin will have a democratic senate to check her power just as John McCain will.

    • StrawberrybitesBarky

      God what a twit. She won’t advance womens’ rights by becoming the most powerful woman in the world? And the second most powerful person in the world…? Your thinking skills are simply dazzeling in their stupidity.

      • B.O. Stinks-Michelle Said So

        Obama, his minions and the NEW Democratic Party are really scared of Palin.

        Read all of their comments. They are not rational. But then, neither are people who support Obama.

  • QUEENIE

    Never forget..it was John Kerry and the Democratic party that begged John McCain to run as Kerry’s running mate.

    Look at the proud and Happy face of John McCain behind Sarah Palin in that picture!!..

    I just had breakfast with my best friends daughter that just graduated from a top NY university..we read the NY papers at breakfast and we were both in such Joy over reading about this incredible woman..we were giddy with Joy..

    Now never in my life have i ever voted for a republican..but right now i have joy over thinking i will cast my vote for McCain and Palin.

    And i have pride in some of these young people..some are smart enough to “get it”

  • QUEENIE

    Oh and may i tell you one thing i learned this morning about the Palin family in the NY newspaper..Mr Palin is an Eskimo…having an American Indian Husband i will tell you , the American Indians in this country will support Sarah Palin!

  • upetrovska

    All Palin says is, teachers should tell children religion has ‘proven’ their religion a falsity. Any sound depiction of judeo-christian belief, in all its grand diversity, would acknowledge than many (if not most) of its traditions recognize Genesis as an allegory, a story, told from the perspective of a deity, not a literal description of how (and over how long) man arose on this Earth.

    The problem is that there are too many antireligious teachers who regularly use scientific instruction as a pretext to suggest that evolution belies judeo-christian belief, a simplicity without context, poisoning many young minds.

    When teachers do that, it’s an intrusion of the classroom into religion, surely as serious a wrong as the intrusion of religion into the classroom.

    taboobie, no I wouldn’t vote for Hillary if she was the candidate for VP with Nobama, because I don’t like the self-proclamed ‘american idol’ at all. I’ve been a registered democrat up until yesterday. I’ve decided to go Republican this time, no matter who the candidate for VP would be. I am not a feminist either. Luckily, I’ve never needed to fight for my rights as a human being. Regarding abortion, I think it is time women take responsibility for their acts and avoid getting pregnant if they are not ready to become mothers, so they won’t have to get an abortion. McCain is planning to look into allowing women to have abortions in special cases. That’s good enough for me.

  • please think

    let me preface this with saying the media’s treatment of hillary clinton during the primary was shameful and only went to show how far we are from a truly free society.

    but…

    what attracted you to hillary clinton in the first place? her voting record as a senator? her work as first lady? her leadership in redefining women’s roles in america? her gender?

    when i cast a vote it is not for the person, but the values they represent. i would be equally happy voting for a woman, a man, a caucasian or an african american as long as i feel they will represent my values well.

    i believe in women’s rights, i believe in peace, i believe in healthcare, i believe in gun control, i believe in a woman’s right to choose, i believe in equal pay. i suspect many of you share these beliefs. i know obama will support these values, and i know mccain will undermine them. his choice of pallin is a pathetic attempt to court hillary democrats by using their frustration with the primary to vote against their interests. i always thought we were smarter than that. if you don’t want to vote for obama because of the primary, fine, just please don’t vote for mccain. it is a vote against your values.

    let the namecalling and flaming commmence, i am just trying to put my opinion in the mix.

    • Pink Panther

      There are fundamental character decency that should be considered before the issues you address. Many ruthless dictators believed in the things you identify but I never support them because of their underlying lack of human decency by the way they treat people who disagree with them.

      Obama, Obama’s New Democratic Party and many of his supporters lack human decency. This was clear during the primary (e.g., the way they treated Hillary and her supporters) and it’s surfacing again with the way Palin as a woman is being portrayed and responded to. This is a significant character flaw.

      You have to ask yourself: Underneath it all, what types of personalities would treat people the way Obama and many of his supporters treated Hillary and her supporters, and are now treating Palin?

      Do you condone this thug behavior? Do you want to reward this behavior?

      If you vote for Obama, you are supporting this behavior and the sexist treatment of women. You then have to question your fundamental ethics.

      PS: There is a democratic congress. When McCain becomes President, he will have to work with a different political party. This helps with checks and balances, which is what this government was founded on.

      • please think

        i do not consider obama’s behavior or his supporters thuggish in any respect. so he didn’t respond to flagrant sexism in the cable media, hillary didn’t respond to the flagrant racism directed at him. in national politics the gloves come off and if you’re going to win, you cannot play nice. you can, however conduct your campaign with decency and respect, which i believe both dem candidates did even in a pitched battle like it was.

        i think that obama is a good and decent man who happens to feel the same way i do about many issues facing this country. therefore he’s got my vote.

        i am curious which ruthless dictators advanced women’s rights. i do not remember any off the top of my head.

        also, i’m not buying the checks and balances argument. that’s just saying we should have a conservative branch of the govenment for the sake of conservatism. as a liberal, i oppose this.

    Wow, I love all the dialoge here. Thanks for the positive feedback, and of course I see the typical Obama supporter replies. Nice to see the hatred is not just for Hillary, and her supporters, but all women, basically. This pick has definitely ignited the race.

    And thanks for all the info here on Palin!

    And a shout out to destardi and Fo3! :OD Thanks!

      NO ONE has LESS experience than obama – Sarah Palin has LOTS MORE experience than bambi – executive experience, which barky has none of – and she has a whole lot more in the ethics, integrity department.

    American Girl in Itlay, I must say that your ignorance is stunning. Speaking as someone who preferred Clinton to Obama, I think that voting as a result of emotional upset or impressions, rather than rational thought, is a mistake (e.g. Reagan, W). I don’t like some of what Obama (and/or his staff) has done this past year, but a vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for ignorance, further destruction of the environment, bellicosity in dealing with other nations, economic crises, and a further erosion of civil liberties.

    Palin = 8 years as mayor, 2 as Governor.
    Obama = 8 years in state senate, 2 as US Senator.

    Equal years of public experience, with the edge to Palin for having executive experience.

How can you choose McCain and Palin who go against all of what Democrats are about. You should be ashamed. Wait even better yet read something before you deside what side you’re on. If McCain wins I’m blaming you.
