So does McCain...he couldn't stop checking out her ass today. Well, whenever she turned her head to acknowledge him, he would look up from it and smile. But then when she would face forward again and address the crowd, he would go right back to staring at it. Kind of brings a whole new meeting to the headline "McCain Taps Palin....as Running Mate"

If John McCain has only met her one time before....was that for the first interview?
so does that mean he's never met her ever?

Bush = Commander Guy Palin = Commander Gal
2011, CINC Bunker, Camp David. President and Commander-in-Chief Palin to the Joint Chiefs of Staff: "I've killed me many a moose, and even a few polar bear, in my day, boys. And I wanna send a nukular message to that raghead Imadinnerjacket not to fuck with me! This isn't my first time at the pageant, fellas!"

Has anyone considered or written about the worst case scenario for this election cycle? If Obama wins the popular vote with high turnout in urban and minority areas, but due to niche demographics in key swing states John McCain is able to carry enough electoral votes to get in office could we legitimately see a situation such as that of Mai 68 in Paris with University strikes and rioting in urban areas. There is a lot of anger in the country that's not really being addressed by the media and not really being tapped in to by the Democratic party. Part of that is due to the influence of Obama, who represents hope and an appeal the the better nature of our society. If he loses in that way and you take a way that hope and replace it with a sense of disenfranchisement I could easily see the mood of the country shift to an attitude that if we aren't going to strive to restore it the next best thing is to want to watch it burn. I don't know why no one is talking about the larger issues about the flaws in our electoral system that would lead to this kind of VP pick to pander to a certain niche of voters rather than promote the best interest of the country. Clearly something is wrong and it further serves to high light the fact that not everyone's vote is equal in this country.

How can the political pundits expect us to take them seriously when we know if Obama had made such a ridiculous choice it would be non-stop condemnation for putting political expediency first. McCain didn't put "country first" when he picked Palin. He is desperate, and it shows. He has put his chances at becoming President ABOVE our national security. No one can tell me Palin can make serious national security decisions with her background. Something happens to McBush and we have HER making decisions regarding our troops? As a veteran, I think McBush should hang his head in SHAME!

This pick of McCain's is the single most irresponsible choice I have ever seen for our nation! For one thing, who the heck does Johnnie think women are? Dumb bimbos? It would appear so, but my bet is that this choice will alienate FAR mopre women than attract. Sure he may have solidifed his base, but I believe Independents will RUN from this ticket.
Did you know she wants to teach Creationism in schools? I thought we got over that when Kansas turned around and voted out the Republicans., but it seems we have to worry once more.

McCain is showing what he really thinks of women. He thinks women who are looking to protect their right to choose are stupid enough to pick someone simply because she has "the right parts."

Let's face it, Mr. Mc (rhymes with Runt) likes to curse and humiliate his wife in public, thinks women shouldn't get equal pay because they really need to go back to school and now its evident that he thinks we are all stupid. Well, I guarantee you that this is raising hackles of most women, except for the right wing nutz...they are hopeless.

Yeah, it blew me away that she is a creationist. Shocking that we are giving college degrees to people with so little foundation in basic science that they would espouse this "doctrine".
She does seem to be poised and personable. The pundits on msnbc (sorry I wasn't really paying attention to who--it wasn't rachel or keith, most of the others sort of blur. it was on Tweety's show I guess) were saying she would be tough for Biden to debate because she is pretty articulate.

Mission Accomplished, 2011. Eye-ran destroyed. President and Commander Gal Palin (and MILF in Chief) alights on deck of aircraft carrier. From a chopper. Dressed as Playboy Bunny. She frugs in white go-go boots to "Proud to be an American." Inspiration: her "Daddy McCain"s favorite flick: "Apocalypse Now."
That cross-eyed sour puss from PUMA, Darragh Murphy, is such a bitch. Can you believe she would still support voting for McCain, and OUTRIGHT LYING about how Republicans have somehow stolen Obama's thunder? That fool would sell women's rights down the road to ensure Hillary might get elected in four years. Is she IN LOVE with Hillary Clinton? Remember, Darragh, Hillary said it wasn't about her. Darragh is an idiot and MSNBC needs to stop plastering her face all over the "tee vee" because she is deranged. WTF?!!? What planet is that freak Darragh from? PUKE!!!

This bitch Palin is the same bitch that every environmental group has been complaining about. She ordered the wholesale slaughter and aerial hunting of a barely recovering American wolf population, despite overwhelming opposition and scientific concern. Oh, she literally rejoiced--shoot 'em down for fun from airplanes. She also wants Americans to be able to hunt Polar Bears, which is insane!! When I heard that she loves "moose stew," that was disturbing, but it's just the beginning....
She's seriously dangerous and determined to declare open season on big mammals, all wildlife and their National Parks and Refuges! All for the glory of Big Oil!! Bought and sold-- that is McCain, now.

This afternoon, when MSNBC had on Andrea What-her-name, Chris Matthews was asking her about the problems with her candidacy which Ms thang didn't want to discuss. When Chris brought up issues of National Security, Andrea said "oh John McCain will do all of that, it's not important for her...she likes to eat Moose burgers".
I kid you not...Miss Thang denigrated National Security and eschewed eating moose. She positively wet herself today...

Seriously, people, this woman is merciless!!! What a bitch to order hundreds of wolves slaughtered after just getting off the endangered species list, like the week before, literally. It's not sport either to hunt them down, young & old like that. It took years to get up to hundreds left. It is just cruel. She wants the same rights to hunt polar bears! Even though they're still on the list, she's suing to get them off of it. If you kill the polar bears off, then Big Oil drilling and degradation can go into high gear. It's just stupid and disgusting.

No wonder they took Kerry off the air, he clearly made the point that McCain has gone schizo. McCain used to be good on the environment (years ago), but now he's the total opposite. McCain chose a major anti-Enviro. bitch. (excuse the language, but I'm torqued out about this!) She has a terrible record in barely 2 years.

This is classic:
State Senate President Lyda Green said she thought it was a joke when someone called her at 6 a.m. to tell her the news.
"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? said Green, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"
I want to know more about her "Creationism" delusion. I read somewhere that she explained that dinosaur bones were put into the ground by "Satan" to confound the unbelievers. Does she live on FlatEarth? Does FlatEarth balance on the back of a turtle standing on the back of an elephant standing on the back of a turtle standing on the back of an elephant? Or is it a tortoise?

Dude, don't you know that Satan put all those fossils there as a temptation to challenge our Faith? Of course all that 'evidence' was purposely put there by the Horned One to lead us astray! Since the Earth is only about 6000 years old, how could dinosaurs be millions of years old? Sure the Earth isn't flat, now, as the Bible really doesn't say otherwise in so many words. That turtle nonsense is pagan Red Indian and Chinese. Come on now. Get real.
I am so sorry I could not make that funnier, I was constrained by what they actually believe. I really, REALLY wish I were making this up.
"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who came so close to being the first major party woman presidential candidate, said in a statement: "We should all be proud of Gov. Sarah Palin's historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Sen. McCain. While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Gov. Palin will add an important new voice to the debate."
I may have to rethink my glowing reviews of her support...but I'll wait and see what happens...
