How much more do voters need to know about Todd and Sarah? We've learned enough in one week to last through November and allow them to return to the waters of Alaska to keep their game going.

NO MORE McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!HE SHOULD RETIRE IMMEDIATELY !!!!!

Hmmm, and Michelle Obama hates America? Took the steam outta that one.

I would like to hear from some of Todd's buddies up on the North Slope in the oil fields where there are no women and there is nothing to do up there but fuck. Everyone I know says that Toddy pings their gaydar down here in the lower 48. I am just conjecturing but he sure is way too hot to be celibate during those very long sunless January days at forty below zero. I must say he'd be fun to look at if these creeps get elected.

Women also work in the oilfield, that said there is an old oil patch saying, "as long as your on top you ain't gay"

holy shite. it's a veritable smorgasbord of scandal.
talk about questionable judgment and look at who they associate with and how anti-American can you get and they not only sat there and listened to that un-American rhetoric but she got up and spoke and where's her flag pin anyway? is there such a thing as an Alaskan terrorist fist jab...oh i bet there is!

Obama wants to stay with the United States, unlike Palin.

Abraham Lincoln was a self-educated hillbilly.

Pro-Union, however.

Palin just sunk your battleship

Fireblazes(cheetohsandcatfood) · 1 year ago

I think his church's members unlike the repubes were encouraged to think for themselves.

Obama as Secret Muslim: false. Palin as Secret Grandmother: true.

I've convinced myself this is the thing thats going to bring her down. I give her the weekend.

unpoetaloco · 1 year ago

If they're going to dump her, they'll do it on Friday evening after the news cycle.

BLOGGING BITCH! · 1 year ago

Won't work, she's way too photogenic.

jimfromthefoothills · 1 year ago

who wants to make a bet that her 17 year old is pregnant with baby #2.... The down syndrome kid is, as the rumor mongers suggest, is her first child. Sarah claims birth to protect daughter.

The only thing that could make this family more trashy is if Todd is the father of his daughters' baby. With this bunch it wouldn't surprise me.

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

My theory: Trig doesn't have Down Syndrome; he may, more likely, have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, not uncommon in babies born to reckless teen mothers.

jimfromthefoothills · 1 year ago

When you hear the rumble of a stampede in Texas, look for cows NOT wildabeasts.

If this question were on intrade it would be trading at $95.

unpoetaloco · 1 year ago

$10 says he's a survivalist and member of a secret militia who has guns, ammunition and rations stockpiled in case his militia declares war on the US.

jimfromthefoothills · 1 year ago

don't be too hard on Sarah, she is the gift that keeps on giving! At least let her get through the convention. At that point McCain can't fire her.

jcgraham77 · 1 year ago

omg>>>>THAT IS FUNNY....

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Ya think she calls the shots in an Assemblies of God, right-wing family? AG preachers lecture their sheep about the subordination of women as a necessary thing. Todd has mucked in hiring and firing decisions; she makes him happy by flirting with the AIP; and she has uncrossed her legs for his imPALIN countless times to populate a white, Christianist nation that wants independence from Obamanation and everything it stands for.

BLOGGING BITCH! · 1 year ago

Why does McCain think Bristol needed the attention?

How long before Bristol is long "overdue"?

I'm betting she 2 months pregnant....again.

lynchie · 1 year ago

So much for McCain. He has now hired the same Bush operative that did the smear campaign on McCain claiming he had fathered a black baby.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09...

Former officials of Sen. John McCain's 2000 campaign expressed shock and disbelief Monday to learn than the GOP presidential nominee had hired South Carolina political consultant Tucker Eskew.

Eskew, along with Warren Tompkins and Neal Rhodes, were key members of then-Gov. George W. Bush's South Carolina team during the 2000 primaries. McCain and his team long held Bush, Tompkins, Rhodes and Eskew responsible for the various smears against McCain and his family in the Palmetto state during that contentious contest.

Eskew was brought on board the McCain campaign, it was announced Monday, to help prepare Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for her role as McCain running mate. Eskew will help Palin prepare for her Wednesday night acceptance speech at the GOP convention and for her stump speech as she hits the road, brief her on policy matters, and help her handle the media scrutiny a lifetime in Alaska does not necessarily prepare one for.

"He's one of the best and most collaborative talents in Republican politics," McCain senior adviser Nicolle Wallace told Politico, speaking of Eskew. "He also has a wit and an ability to turn a phrase like no one I've ever met before."

Hiring a man who trashed your family to help someone with no qualifications become VP, McCain has no shame, no ethics, no honor. Next he will be licking a dead dog's ass to get a couple of extra votes.

You know what George Carlin said (before he died of course): Todd? Todd isn't a name.

Damn, I'm sure missing George.

BLOGGING BITCH! · 1 year ago

I hear that tomorrow night Sarah is going to put Bristol in stirrups and actually place a .22 handgun in the baby's hand. That'll fire up the base.

BLOGGING BITCH! · 1 year ago

I hope John McCain cares more about the troops than he does Sarah's daughter.

Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago

wait a minute... isn't todd palin 'off limits'... along with any other info learned about sarah palin and family?

I mean... mccain was a POW! you'd question his vetting process or choice for VP??

how unAmerikan of you!

BLOGGING BITCH! · 1 year ago

As a POW, he thinks nothing of dragging a pregnant 17-year old girl through this shit. He better hope she doesn't miscarry.

BLOGGING BITCH! · 1 year ago

Why does "The Base" want Bristol to miscarry?

shrrrr · 1 year ago

I know its less than classy to make fun of her kids but the way she parades on stage with her youngest daughter is starting to look like a 'minny me' act.

allainjules · 1 year ago

What a pity !

Bristol, Tood, and other, Sarah Palin family will kill McCain !

As they never vetted Sara Palin, I'll bet they have yet to check Todd Palin. Sounds like he may have a criminal record. Hope they check for that before the Repugs clean it up and seal that record. Seems that at a minimum, he was cited, arrested or convicted for a DUI. But, I'm thinking there may be some harder crimes, like armed robbery, hit and run, sexual assault, burglary, etc. Just a guess and of course, hoping to further smear McCain's judgment, even more than drag down Palin.

But Obama is right, family, meaning the kids are off limits. We are liberals and need to stick to the high road because that is the liberal way. Only justification for dragging in the kids is for something really serious and reflecting seriously on Palin's qualifications.

Todd Palin's the one to watch, all right. In a fundie-creationist-forcedchildbirth-militia-related household, it's the MALE who has the power and tells the female what to do. The MALE makes the decisions. The MALE has the first and last word. Sarah Palin is out front because she's the public face and can think on her feet fairly well, but make no mistake about it - Todd's the one driving the vindictive abuse of state power, Todd's the one behind the say-anything opportunism and conniving rise to power of his wife, and Todd's the one behind the scenes driving the state government of Alaska to do the dirty bidding of his family against his wife's former brother-in-law, and Todd Palin's the one pushing his wife to lie continually as she has already begun doing, about the bridge to nowhere and the oil subsides given to the public. He's a Promisekeeper-type of control freak male (meaning ultimately cowardly) for whom everything in the family is really done, for HIS ego, for HIS sense of power. That's just how they roll, people!
