Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would make a "pretty fragile" president, Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton said Friday as politicians trotted out their talking points on Republican presidential hopeful John McCain's surprise vice presidential pick.

In a conference call with reporters, Lawton, a Democrat, said she was taken aback by the choice.

Considering Gov Doyle cannot stand her (we elect the governor and lt governor independently here, they don’t run as a team) it’s priceless that she says that.

She is a moonbat leftist for those of you who don’t know her.

Would that be before or after she ran seven miles that day? Lawton’s comment is ludicrous in light of Sarah “Barracuda” Palin’s bio.

The RAT Lt. Gov. of Wisconsin?? Who the hell cares what she thinks? She’s probably just thinking about how totally unqualified she herself is.

She has no global experience. She's been mayor of a town half the size of DePere for two years and 18 months as governor. We are talking about a nation at war," Lawton said.

As Governor of Alaska, she's dealt with neighboring Russia and Canada. That's a h*** of a lot more experience than Oba Mao has!

So the Dem polling is showing the sexist remarks are backfiring so they are trotting out the lib women to do their dirty work, apparently.

Let me guess - she’s from the same generation that did nothing to advance womens’ rights for women of color or younger generations, correct?

LOL.

For two decades, the left has been building to this moment.

They have been angry. Demanding. Victimhood became the driving cause of an entire generation.

Then, something amazing. Without so much as a quota, a REPUBLICAN woman with the most flawless conservative (and libertarian in all the right ways) credentials ever.

Is about to become Vice President of the United States.

Not because of the agenda of victimhood.

BECAUSE SHE IS PERFECT FOR THE JOB.

This is an amazing day.

In April of this year, Sarah Palin gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, who was born premature with Down Syndrome. Recent statistics show that in the U.S., approximately 90% of Down Syndrome diagnoses end with the mother choosing abortion. Palin on her family’s reaction to the diagnosis, in her own words:

“We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives. We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed.” (April 18, 2008, Anchorage Daily News)

I will dare anybody to live here in Alaska for several years at the very minimum, that means living and staying year round, we have 6 months of winter and six months getting ready for it.

Alaskans can never be “fragile”.

I would say the Muslim Messiah is quite fragile since his thin skin won’t tolerate any criticism of his mob connections or terrorist friends. The treasonous Liberal human waste are reprehensible and they think we’re morons to believe their lies.

Keep it up, libs. Every comment about her being “fragile” or “weak” is just going to backfire. It doesn’t matter if the one saying it is a woman. I’ve been on many pro-Hillary sites and the women there no longer trust some of their fellow females in the Democratic Party because of the horrible things they said about Hillary. Describing the second female VP candidate ever as “fragile”, just like the sexists of old used to call all women, is only going to enrage them even more.
