How did we get so lucky.. I mean honestly , GOD must love Democrats

[Peacetrain]

To actually have McCain pick Palin, who is under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power for getting her ex-brother in law fired.

A person with zero, experience on the trail.

Passing up any number of experienced Republican possibilities male and female in foreign policy.

He has met heron twice???

After the knock your socks off convention we had, to then be handed this. A dream come true

1. I don't know about love, but she sure has to be

very pissed with the Republicans.

[Peacetrain]

3. ~ROFL~

That too

[phantom power]

2. Hah. Good question -- had he even met her before he picked her?

[Peacetrain]

4. Twice! can you believe it

a gift, just a gift

Edited for correction of number of times met

[endthewar]

7. They reportedly had met twice

Small correction, but it still is just as bad. :patriot:

[Peacetrain]

18. Thank you!!

Corrected that number :hi:

[endthewar]

21. Who the hell picks a V.P. after meeting them twice?

Especially when they're such an unknown quantity? McCain should change his slogan from "Country First" to "Election First." And to think that he was the one accusing Obama of wanting to win an election at the expense of the U.S. losing a war.

[Peacetrain]

22. The more I think about it the more it becomes apparent

on how desperate the republicans are. Especially after last night. This was a hail mary

[liberalmuse]

5. My god, did he vet her?

This man is completely unfit. There were so many other more qualified women. Paris Hilton, for one. At least people know who she is and she's been around the world. I'm stunned. And to top it off, there've been some ugly scandals brewing around Palin. I think McCain is Insane. Utterly.

[Peacetrain]

9. Are you getting that Harriet Myers feeling

McCain is really trying to be Bush 3 down to stupid choices of people

[4_Legs_Good]

6. He shot Focus on the Family's rainy day prayer right back at them

I think there is ample evidence that God loves Democrats.

But, OTOH, I think this Palin pick just show's McSame has no judgement.

17. Hi. I couldn't help but notice...

that the only two posts you have made here refer to Palin as a "bitch" and a "ho."

Don't get me wrong, nobody here likes her, but is that necessary? Why are you choosing those ugly terms instead of talking about what you don't like about her politically?

Just wondering.

20. if you wanna make lame sexist comments

you can take that on over to Freeperville.

10. I know

It just doesn't make any sense to me. I heard that they had called Pawlenty, not sure I spelled that right, on Thursday and told him not to make plans and he was being "seriously" considered, then this! I just don't understand it at all. :shrug:

Sure he could be going after those who are still ticked off about Hillary, but that number isn't that big, and after last night, I think it's even smaller. I have read things from republicans today, and republican women are happy, though they were all going to vote for McCain no matter what, but some of the men are really unhappy, some so unhappy they say they will "NOT" vote for McCain. They won't vote for Obama either, but they were going to vote for McCain, though they weren't thrilled about it, but now they say no way in hell!

I just don't understand why McCain did it!

[Peacetrain]

11. McCain failed miserably with his first real decision

I don't understand it either. I am thrilled with it. But I don't understand it

[renie408]

13. Senile dementia?? n/t

[renie408]

12. All I know is that I haven't laughed this hard in weeks. Really. I was

all anxious about this election...right up until this afternoon.

My god...the woman ran for Miss Alaska, three years ago she was the mayor of a town the size of my kid's high school and on the PTA. She is running with the oldest candidate EVER. What in the hell was he thinking?? Do you think he WANTED to insult every woman in this country??

[Peacetrain]

15. We are laughing here also

So he is going after a base. They were supporting him 84%. They must be just desperate. Especially if that investigation blows up on the brother in law.

[Doityourself]

19. I don't get the Republican hype about her..

Palin vs Biden..come on!

[Murdock]

14. Yep..

Lets sit back, relax, and cruise to the White House. No need to volunteer or work, the GOP has handed it to us, obviously.

[Peacetrain]

16. Not hardly.. this is energizing in getting our people out
