A woman — but why this woman? [Sarah Palin]

So. This is what being pandered to feels like.

John McCain picked Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska and mother of five, to be his running mate to woo women like me.

He seems to think that my girlfriends and I are so disappointed that an utterly qualified woman is not going to be president that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman for vice president.

You gotta love a guy who thinks things are that simple.

Women already outvote men in this country, and it isn't because we like voting for all those women on the ballot.

Does McCain think we will be so grateful for a skirt on the ticket that we won't notice that she's anti-abortion, a member of the NRA and thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution?

More of this columnist's despicable words:

You want to look good to the evangelicals? Choose a running mate with a Down syndrome child.

(When James Dobson, the conservative Christian radio host who fancies himself a kingmaker, jumped up to say that the selection of Palin means he can now "pull the lever" for John McCain, I almost felt sick. I don't know what I'll do if she trots out the story of her 5-month-old baby to shore up the Republican base.)

There are already more than 250 comments on the Sun's website; almost all slamming this despicable article.

I think Susan Reimer lost control of her keyboard and some kind of demon just wrote another nail in the coffin of the Baltimore Sun.

Sounds like Susan Reimer needs some cheese with her whine.

The lefties are obsessed with killing babies...

Gov. Palin has the moonbats foaming at the mouth and they are scared. If this was such a poor pick, as they say, they would be throwing a party.

There's no way Gov. Palin is going to 'woo women like you.'

Call Hillary Clinton. She travels with Snap-On-Tools and brings Huma Abedding, Rosie and Mr. Ellen Degenerate.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

He didn’t do it for the sake of women, but for the sake of conservatives.

“are so disappointed that an utterly qualified woman...”

Who is this “utterly qualified woman” of which she speaks? I saw none at the DNC...

[Hang'emAll]

she’s anti-abortion, a member of the NRA and thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution?............

You say that, like it is a bad thing. ;>)

“You want to look good to the evangelicals? Choose a running mate with a Down syndrome child.”

And if you want to get the nastiest, cattiest, bitchiest, bottom-dwelling comments put into print as an article, choose a bitter, old fat pig of a doctrinaire liberal columnist like Susan Reimer to write them.

[ripley]

the answer to this woman is...........

nyaaa,nyaaaaa,nya, nyaaaaaaaaaa, nya.........

(utter, complete, total dingbats who are projecting their own stupidity on others.)

IMHO

My gawd, these people are so self absorbed it's not even funny. Me, I, me, my girlfriends, me. This may come as a shock to you Susan, but maybe it WASN'T you and your girlfriends he is trying to woo. GASP!

"So. This is what being pandered to feels like. John McCain picked Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska and mother of five, to be his running mate to woo women like me."

Wrong! McCain isn't "wooing" you. He shored up his Conservative base so that we can now march forward and kick the crap out of that Marxist who thinks he's getting into the White House!

As for you lady! Take a hike! Pffffffffttttt!!!

...that an utterly qualified woman is not going to be president that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman ...

Qualified ? All Hillary is, is one of a hundred senators that do nothing but propose or vote on legislation that benefits them and their state. At least Palin is a chief executive of a state- a position that requires you to run things , just like the presidency is

[Maceman]

He seems to think that my girlfriends and I are so disappointed that an utterly qualified woman is not going to be president that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman for vice president.

By what standard can a reasonable argument be made that Hillary Clinton is anywhere near as qualified to be President than Sarah Palin?

Other than that thing about her being Bill Clinton's moral compass, I mean.

[gunnedah]

Who the hell does she think her and her girlfriends are to make this determination. Instead of filling her article with talking points for Democrats she needs to print facts.I think that is what O’Reilly calls bloviating.

[atc23]

The real root of their fear is that McCain serves only one term and Palin becomes the first woman to be president of the United States. It's a real possibilty.

The democrats, like a poor marksman, just keep missing the target. They vomit up in every election cycle these frauds, phonies and drunks and then wonder why America "just doesn't get it"

[Raycpa]

that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman for vice president.

Yes, Virginia. Many women are shallow and will vote for Palin because she has a uterus. Hillary was counting on it.

[BARLF]

I see it all as good versus evil.
