Palin Picked As Last Resort After Rvangelical Revolt

ABC ^ | 9/3/08 | John Shovelan

[steve-b]

Republican presidential candidate John McCain picked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate after conservatives threatened a revolt if he went with his first choice, former Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman.

Senator McCain has defended his choice of Ms Palin to run for vice-president after news of her 17-year-old pregnant unmarried daughter dominated day one of the Republican national convention in St Paul, Minnesota.

Now it has emerged that the shock announcement of the unknown Ms Palin was forced upon Senator McCain after conservatives threatened a revolt at the convention if he pushed ahead with his preferred vice-presidential pick, Independent and former Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman....

Idiot writer. Just shove it your butt.

You are going to learn the meaning of REVOLT.

Y O U W I L L N O T C H O O S E O U R P R E S I D E N T!!!!

TV for ABC, NBC, CBS - OFF. No more ratings. No revenue for advertisers. You elitist snobs!!! Eat dirt!

MCCAIN PALIN 2008 - WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED! COUNTRY FIRST!

[BlessedBeGod]

Hard to believe, since her vetting started 6 months ago...

[shankbear]

UP

[netmilsmom]

Bet he wants to kiss every one of them after Sarah’s speech tonight!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is an “Rvangelical” an evangelical that dispenses prescriptions?

[bushwon]

I second your sentiments!!!

[elizabetty]

They say that like it is a bad thing.

[Parley Baer]

...and we are supposed to believe anything out of abc.

[alecqss]

Now, that's how desperation looks like! A cold sweaty fear that, as an old adage goes, their failed kill just made Palin stronger.

[popdonnelly]

Shovelan can either show us the sources for his article, or he can print a retraction. I refuse to take BS from the news media any longer. If he can’t do that, he should be ignored.

[netmilsmom]

>>UP<<

Like in The Dark Knight?

[Nachum]

Spinning so fast they must be dizzy...

[Williams]

Clever and misleading juxtapositioning. Yes, the evangelicals revolted against the idea of Lieberman. But McCain then had various choices, Palin was in no way “forced” on McCain by the evangelicals. Few expected her selection.

[Ciexyz]

dog poop.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

I second your sentiment, but I wanted to be sure you knew that ABC = Australian Broadcasting Corporation in this case.

[rockinqsranch]

ABC’s John Shovelan is shovelin’ BS.

[iowamark]

An “Rvangelical” is a Baptist with an RV.

[KosmicKitty]

What an idiot

McCain’s own people told the lame stream press that they purposely leaked false information to send the idiot press on a wild goose chase.

Sarah was on the real short list & was there for awhile. No last minute choice.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Mau-mauing headline:

Tires on Palin's autos found to be under inflated
Questions raised about Palin's fitness to serve

[tnmomof6]

Heh..is this ABC’s australian version?? So they’re already working on the overseas vote...awesome! LOL

[sefarkas]

The folks who convinced the McCain campaign to put Gov. Palin on the ticket deserve medals. The MSM is mad because they had a ton of material to splatter on TV, radio, and print regarding Romney and Pawlenty. They spent a fortune building up their hit pieces. All to waste. The choice was brilliant for many reasons: neutralizing the experience debate — if experience is no qualification for the Democrat nomination, why do the Republicans have to defend on that ground? But what makes the MSM management besides-themselves angry is the amount of money the McCain campaign got them to waste. Brilliant.

“Rvangelical Revolt”

What’s an Rvangelical?

Missionaries in Winnebagos?
Angels towing Airstreams?

:))

[Ciexyz]

This spin will replace she wasnt vetted properly.

[Harry Wurzbach]

Gosh darn. What ever will we do?

[RockinRight]

Wish I woulda bought some Intrade shares on Palin last week...

[Salamander]

No...those are Rxangelicals.

A Bunch of Crap

John Shovelan

Keep shovelin' that manure, Johnny.

[Smokin' Joe]

Fascinating to see a stack of morons having a meltdown at the same time they are having a cartwheeling sh*tfit, bloviating and hammering at keyboards and basically losing it.

Brilliant political move to nominate Governor Palin.(someone should tell that nii that Mrs. Palin is a Governor after all, not just a Ms)

[Blogger]

They won’t pick him either! :D

[fantom]

The media boys will be back as soon as they change their panties..

[Big Horn]

She just made the speech of the last 50 years. She is a winner and her speech will result in victory.

[thesearethetimes...]

elizabetty said, “They say that like it is a bad thing.”

Innocent look 0:}

Tatt

[oldplayer]

Just my opinion, but, I'd say that the author of this screed (John Shovelan) is just a ‘Shovelin’!!!

Sorry. I know. It's an ad hominem attack the likes of which Barrack Hussein Obama so despises. LOL

Oldplayer

[1035rep]

Rvangelical voters? Who are they?

LOL!

[kcvl]

John Shovelan, reporting after a coalition press conference: "Oh, the civility of this US military! The daily Pentagon briefing begins with an illustration of its mercy and kindness."

[bigbob]

This is crap. ABC in Oz must have adopted Rather Rules of Journalism where you just make up the “facts” as long as you believe the story to be true.

ABC won’t be around for the next election cycle so their opinion doesn’t matter much anyhow.

[Mediocrates]

Republican evangelicals. To distinguish from all the Democrat evangelicals.

[jerod]

John Shovelan from ABC... Sounds like he’s Shovel’n B.S.

[1035rep]

...and we are supposed to believe anything out of abc.

Don't believe anything out steve-b either.  It has been his mission to slander our future VP Palin every opportunity he gets.

[infowarrior]

Bull

Did you get the name of the dweeb who wrote this drivel? John Shovelan... So it looks like John is Shovelan' Bull!!

the infowarrior

[donmeaker]

Sara-Cuda.... A heartbeat away from the Presidency!

But that is a good thing!

[MindBender26]

As a former network reporter, I can tell you, this is the worst form of journalism.

The fool doesn't even quote “unnamed sources.”

The story is entirely unsourced. It would get an F in News Writing 101

[SaxxonWoods]

Idiocy. McCain always knew Lieb would not fly, and their deal has been for a cabinet seat all along.

Once Lieb is out, Paliln is the most maverick-y pick left that also puts balance on the ticket. So we have a combination of a bold pick that serves a pragmatic function. Interesting “strategery.”

[SaxxonWoods]

Oh, that needs to be replicated in the millions.

Very nice.

[Atticus]

MSM is just upset that McCain did not destroy his campaign by choosing Lieberman as his VP. That choice would have earned McCain the political equivalent of a Darwin Award.
