Are you serious? Do you even have a clue of what the media is trying to do here and how little they actually have to work with? The McCain campaign has said it vetted Palin. Do you really think issues such as the claim Palin was raising her daughters Down baby should be a consideration? And do you ACTUALLY think if it got out, and it would have, that McCain TURNED DOWN a woman for his VP because her daughter was pregnant, the shit storm wouldn’t have been 1000 times worse? Imagine the slime media shrieking the “SEXIST” and OUT OF TOUCH” McCain disqualifies a woman for the job of VP because he finds her “morally” lacking? And why is she morally lacking? Why because her DAUGHTER has gotten pregnant!! It would be a field day for the left wing loonies and would KILL any chance McCain had of keeping the feminine vote.
I am constantly amazed at how the people here and on other forums I frequent claim to KNOW the media is full bore liberal and in the tank TOTALLY for Hussein and yet seem to take as gospel every single negative they put out about a Republican. What the hell did you expect them to say about her? She is their WORST nightmare and they are trying to destroy her by any and all means they can think of. The stink of desperation pervades all they are doing here and if you cannot see that then you simply are not looking. You also appear to believe the American people are so utterly stupid that all of them will simply nod their heads and accept as truth whatever the hate spewers puke up for public consumption.
Get a grip.
FR actually has a thread with the word “fsmmily” in the title?
What a bunch a rhubarbs!!
and because she is a woman, they may figure that she is soft and will pull out, if they take this beyond the bounds of decency, so as to spare her family.
*********************************************************** Joe Biden's Son, Brother Involved In Hedge-Fund Scandal
Hilary Lewis | Aug 25, 2008 6:26 PM
What happens when a vice-presidential candidate is named during the last week of August? Toothless scandals like the following become major news stories. The blogosphere has been sort-of-abuzz this morning with reports that Joe Biden's son and brother are involved in two related hedge fund lawsuits.

You've just outed yourself, lib. The "what if" argument is as old a liberal strategy as there is. What if indeed. What if Obama is really a COMMUNIST, since he was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis as a youth? What if Obama hates America like his former Reverend does and has preached from the pulpit for the past 20 years, and what if Obama has swallowed the filth spewed by William Ayers, an Anarchist who is responsible for the deaths of 2 cops and tried to bomb the Pentagon and White House and who famously said, "Kill your parents". What if, lib?
I personally would take the risk at this point... The base isn’t going to be too happy over the 17 yr old being knocked up... and frankly who else are they going to vote for?
I’d sure like to get our party back from the religious right... Focus on a more libertarian stance as a party... but that is just me.
Funniest post I’ve read in days.
What (if) you said. After all, what if agila monster is a troll?
Answer: She/he has proved as much.
From what I've read, from McCain himself, and from his aides, she came clean with all these issues. NONE of them have anything to do with her effectiveness as Veep, so McCain chose her for the parts of her life that are relevant.
All of the rumors, and stories are nothing but either outright lies, or calumny; truth used as a weapon. I believe McCain understands that, and at this point, I wonder if the Republicans and conservatives pushing for her to remove herself from contention are those whose favorite candidate wasn't chosen.
