McCain's veep pick is praised, panned [(D)Wexler rips Palin and McCain]
Sun Sentinel ^ | August 29, 2008 | Anthony Man

Posted on 08/29/2008 12:10:19 PM PDT by Fox_Mulder77

......Here's the statement from Wexler, who represents 10 central and northern Broward communities:

"Today, John McCain proved he is a complete and utter hypocrite. This past week we saw the first test of judgment and leadership from America's presidential nominees. Barack Obama made the outstanding choice of Joe Biden. John McCain made a sad political choice by picking Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. "In doing so John McCain has failed both the test of leadership and judgment. John McCain has been unable to generate any genuine excitement with his tired campaign and his selection of Palin as his running mate is a desperate attempt to distract Americans from the fact he lacks any new ideas worthy of their excitement.

"John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin is clearly a political ploy aimed at the capturing votes of women who formerly supported Senator Hillary Clinton. But the fact is Sarah Palin is a far right, pro-life zealot who can not hold a candle to Hillary Clinton's lifelong fight to better the lives of women everywhere. Americans should be alarmed that the former mayor of a town of 9,000 people with zero foreign policy credentials could be a heartbeat away from assuming the role of Commander in Chief."

I think the Dems are stepping in a big steaming pile of #2 with their attacks on Palin today. Palin is primarily being attacked because she’s a woman, accusing McCain of pandering and giving Palin no credit whatsoever as a very popular governor.

Dumb, dumb, dumb Dems.

“...former mayor of a town of 9,000 people with zero foreign policy credentials could be a heartbeat away from assuming the role of Commander in Chief.”

I don’t understand how this argument can be made without inviting the obvious retort. BHO is a former “community organizer” with zero foreign policy credentials who, if elected, would be sworn in as Commander-in-Chief.

Democrats are so screwed. They haven’t a clue how to deal with this and as a result are resorting to pathetic and nonsensical diatribe.

I’d ask this brainless Wexler how he comes to think that the selection of Palin as cynically calculated to win Clinton supporters when, as he says, she shares almost none of Clinton’s policy positions?

Come on Mr. Wexler! You can’t be that stupid! Or can you?

John McCain made a sad political choice by picking Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin

TRANSLATION:

"Oi vey. The Republicans have nominated a dynamic, young, good-looking female who will likely be the next Vice-President of the United States. And she's a REPULICAN! AND A CONSERVATIVE! THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. Obama, you Idiot! You should have picked Clinton as your VP! Now, we're screwed....BIG TIME".

END OF TRANSLATION

And yet McCain is running neck and neck with Obama. Go figure.

Hey, that peanut farmer from Plains Georgia- he didn’t have any foriegn policy experience, just one term as a governor- is Wexler saying the dems blew it with him? And say again, what are Obama’s foreign policy credentials? Two wake ups in Iraq?

It seems every screaming liberal moon-bat jack-ass politician in the country is coming completely UNGLUED over J. Sidney’s VP pick.

So he MUST have made the right choice, eh?

I know I’m more comfortable voting for him with a true conservative like Ms. Palin on the ticket.

Sarah Palin cut taxes, reduced size of Govt, pro life, pro gun rights, pro drill for oil etc....

Even if she was Gov. of Alaska for just 1 month.... she's miles ahead of those ego maniacs now occupying Capitol Hill in DC wasteland.

Wexler is the weenie who did not live in FL until he was in danger of losing his seat.

His kitchen table family meetings were no where and are no where near his district.

The way the Dems and the MSM are ripping on Palin, you know it was a good choice.

Is she perfect? Of course not. But she is very, very, very good. Could McCain have picked anyone that would have fired up the base as much? No.

She is a GENUINE person. She lives her beliefs. There is NOTHING in her closets. I believe her when she says she never had aspirations of being VP (or PRes) for that matter. I believe she would have been happy to remain governor of Alaska.

She is GENUINE. She RELATES to a LOT of typical americans in terms of life experiences.

The left and their media lapdogs are freaking out because their little anointed ones don’t measure up. Obama could have selected the Hildabeast and didn’t. He picked a re-tread beltway veteran whose best lines have been pilfered from other people.

ANd now they are playing the inexperience card. It’s gonna be thrown back at them, but not at their VP. They just stepped on the flaming bag of dog poo McCain set out on the Obama porch.

Are you kidding me??? Wexler, you are an idiot! I was prepared for the worst today and then all of a sudden John McCain made me very happy about the upcoming election and I personally am very excited about the future of our country, the Republican party and especially for conservatism in America. In fact, I almost feel sorry for Barry Obama. So bite me, Wexler, you clueless, molly coddled bed wetter.

The Democrat email blast of talking points is continuing. It's funny these idiots can't think of things to say on their own. And what is this repetition of the foreign policy credentials? Like Osama has them? They are not seriously considering his recent trip overseas as foreign policy experience, are they?

And, yes, Wexler moved his family lock, stock and barrel to DC leaving no connection to his Florida district. He recently made some crap up like moving in with his aunt or something to make it look good.

I live just within the 19th CD in Palm Beach County and Wexler is my congressman. Actually, he’s a “carpetbagger” who came down here from Queens and brought the worst of NYC polltics with him. During the disputed election of 2000, which centered in West Palm, he was the most partisan demagogue who lost his breath running for all the cameras and reporters so he could grandstand.

I don’t understand how this argument can be made without inviting the obvious retort. BHO is a former “community organizer” with zero foreign policy credentials who, if elected, would be sworn in as Commander-in-Chief.

If the folks that have been producing McCain's ads as of late stay true to form, there are about to be some waxed Dem asses in the next few days.
