Did a search but FR slow. Mods please remove if Live thread already started.
Well, McCain pulled his maverick routine, which I always allowed for, and picked a PC choice by pulling an unknown woman out of the hat. We will see how this goes. I’m not nearly as confident as you are that this is a good choice. But I am open to being pleasantly surprised. Will be sizing her up these next days. It helps that her parents hunt caribou. Like that.
Picked because she's a woman
Alaska's population is so small, her accomplishments mean nothing.
Someone, PLEASE, get these damn cheerleaders off the stage.
Fred on Sarah [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
(Nashville) - U.S. Senator Fred Thompson issued the following statement:
“I am absolutely delighted by this selection. Once again, John McCain has shown that he is an independent thinker who paints in bold strokes. Sarah Palin is a conservative reformer with executive experience who will bring a breath of fresh air to Washington. She will be an ideal running mate for John McCain, and will make a major contribution to our country’s future.”

his foreign policy experience= a speech in Berlin during a rock concert
McCain wants to put someone who has only been mayor to a city of 9,000 and wants to overturn Roe v. Wade one step away from the White House.
I love it.
“Yes, she’s been to Iraq. FOX was showing clips awhile ago.”
Take THAT Obama!!!
GLORY, GLORY, HALLELUJAH!!!
” A quote from a poster on the Hillary Clinton Forum website:
“That’s exactly how I feel - the DNC has hoodwinked us for years about the GOP being racist/sexist... !!!”
Brains are awakening!!!”
Thanks for sharing. Good observation
This statement will hurt Obama. Hope McCain jumps on it fast. He’s been great at responding quickly to his attacks.
What?? She’s as pro-life as they come.
One thing pretty obvious is the liberals are very worried. The lib reporters look very depressed. I think they know it’s over for Hussein.
McCain just locked it up.
John's playing the n00b like a violin.
Great pick, and the timing is wonderful.
I am having a tough time getting on this site and staying here.
GO McCAIN-PALIN!
They are attacking it on FoxNews.
That will really help McCain with those voters in middle America that he needs. A LOT of voters are from small towns—another elitist comment from Obama. PALIN HAS ACCOMPLISHED MUCH MORE IN LIFE THAN OBAMA EVER HAS!!!
re: CNN
Sexist, chavinist pigs. Next, they’ll tell her to stay barefoot, pregnant and behind the stove (I guess they did that). Then they’ll say our female troops shouldn’t serve... and of course the ‘feminists’ on the left will be silent (ala rape, honor killings and executions in the Middle East, Africa, etc.). Clue: that’s another reason you don’t kill your kids, the family is there to help, it’s not all about the individual. And if you can run five kids, it’s half in the bag. She gets huge points for slamming the corrupt GOP as well.
Stay tuned, like the left found faith (in Obama), found flags and the USA chant, now they will become the anti-woman party we knew them to be all along (Hill supporters know). Watch the NAGS put the bras back on, search for marriage and have kids (LOL). We’re not having it. Now the left will know what being a real woman is and what a real man is via the right.
See, we can do that too.
For Obots:
Let any trolls be advised. I and others have proof.
I tell you on my honor, if Obama or the the guys whose slacks he hides behind, say anything about her youngest, the man boy files come out. I’m dead serious.
But for now, we’ll concentrate on charities that gave to Odinga, Val’s background, business, letters and grants, Blackwell, Nesbitt, all the Op Slumlord players... then back to the Iraqi deals with the high profilers, Pali march vids, Apartheid vids from Oxy. Little stuff. Also, let Obama know the podcasts of the Faith Jamboree were interesting, the participants were even more interesting.
So git along and start scrubbing, we have hard copies.
Barack Obama’s campaign was predictably unimpressed. “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.

Hurry up, John. I have a doctor’s appointment in an hour and a half and I must shower.
” He doesn’t look like an Eskimo, but if he is, so what”
Don’t know if the MSM will pick this up, but Eskimo qualifies under minority status.
So we have the first female Rep VP candidate, who is married to a minority......
Eskimo Falls under the classifiction:
American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut
Add that tidbit to the AMMO package............
