The Rat comments to the Chicken Noodle News article are worth a read.
She certainly was NOT awful! She just couldn't help Mondale's campaign.
These Democrats. They are SUCH SEXISTS.
Heehee
You're right. They are in melt-down.
I totally agree. Palin's nomination risks costing Obama the election, which the Dems feel would be a disaster. Got it.
You know when the various species of liberalis domesiticus start choir-howling in agony, you hit them where it hurts. This is a strategic blow to the Democratic party, and the fault lines from it may shatter the feminist side of the coalition. They can't hemorrhage women voters for long before their electoral chances completely bleed to death.
Read this next line and weep, Democrats: Every woman in your party will silently judge you for the lines of attack you use on Palin. If you go after her like you went after Hillary, those women will desert you for the Republicans.
Heh.
The other thing is that Free Republic is energized and motivated like I haven't seen it in months. Maybe years. McCain rolled the dice big time, and early indications are that he won big.
Who's the Democratic pick for President? How many knew him before the campaigning started?
Our VP has more experience than their Presidential candidate! At least her resume doesn't read: Slumlord and community organizer.
Sounds like an endorsement to me.
Palin vs. Hillary in 2012.
I'm watching my Dem buddies have a collective spittle-throwing fit at the moment. "How dare McCain upstage the Messiah? Who is this upstart? A...a...woman? The Republicans hate women! We own that demographic!"
I can't wait for the first debate, when she walks out there and looks Biden in the eye and says "you want change? This is change!"
I agree with the others - Obama looks at a 10-point deficit this time next month and Joe's going to have a sudden medical problem. And you know what else? The Dems were looking forward to mocking a lackluster, boring, whitebread Republican convention next week. All of a sudden here's the passion, baby. Deal with it.
Of course the Dems are going to say that. You don’t expect that they are going to say “Holy crap, that was an awesome pick. We sure are screwed now!”
And Obama is NOT risky? Buahahahahah!
Obama campaignin for the Orange Islamofascist Party in Kenya, August 2007.Result Genocide:
Here an Orange Party fascist in an orange jacket directs a mob to slay Kukuyu in Kenya. This is what Obama helped create in Kenya. This has been covered up by the MSM, and Obama is NOT risky, and Palin IS?
Buahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
DEMS: ALL your wimmin votes are belong to US!!!!!!
The Dems and MSN are having a cow over McCain’s choice.
I love the smell of Democrat flop sweat in the morning. It smells like Victory!
Thanks Sen.McCain for making a great decision! The Dems do not know what to make of it!:)
Hail Mary? No, just a perfectly thrown 30-yard pass to a receiver who was wide open due to a completely blown defensive coverage.
Risky and disastrous for the dems, yes.
Well, I guess Im your typical white male pig; She is a major league hottie! She shoots, has kids, she’s hot, she is from a state where words and rhetoric mean exactly nothing, she’s hot, and I think it was a brilliant move. And the biggest plus is she’s hot!
I believe they just berated Obama recently for his very traditional old politic selection of a Washington Insider, lecturing that he should have chosen someone inline with his theme of “Change” in this campaign.
In otherwords, McCain just did what Obama failed to do. He took a risk, chose a candidate with a Maverick reputation of her own, and he chose someone to appeal to those in the base while Obama rejected Hillary from consideration.
And they are mad, frustrated, scared and disappointed.
Let's see - troubling as potential POTUS, what about hillary wasn't troubing and she has less experience? Will they dare go after her as a woman? I don't think so....
I don’t understand why the choice here is to either love or hate everything about this pick just becasue McCain is the Republican candidate. Of course we’re all happy he chose Palin- she was the most conservative realistic possibility, and this is a conservative forum. That doesn’t mean that experience isn’t a real issue.
There has been a lot of discussion about this pick here over the last few weeks, and her inexperience in relation to other conservatives was one of the primary reasons many posters said they preferred someone else. So now that she’s the actual pick, all of those concerns go away? If someone said yesterday that Thompson has “zero experience” becasue he has never held a state or federal executive position or that Palin has tons of foreign policy experience because of the relative geography of Alaska, they would have been laughed off of these boards.
Why can’t we concede that Palin is indeed pretty inexperienced for this job but still support her becasue her stances on the issues outweigh that?
