Who are you kidding, you''re no Democrat... you''re just earning a days pay from the McCane campaign as a paid idiot blogger. Slimeball.

[david1737]

Bottom line McCain voted against equal pay for equal work for women.

Then with a stunned look McCain couldn''t articulate an opinion on the issue. This after having vote no on the issue.

In 2000, Palin endorsed Pat Buchanan for President.

[donbl1]

deacon, obviously you are spreading trash as all those issues have been vetted by McCain.

She has more executive experience than Obama, McCain and Biden combined.

BTW, you left off her time as Chairman of Ethics Committee and Governor........

[deacon20081]

"She has been called Saint Sarah" NO that is not a joke.
The 44-year-old Gov. Palin is a mother of five. She served as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, (pop. 8,500) and was winner of the Miss Wasilla pageant. ( A beauty pageant in a town 8500? Competing against who ? ) She was a MAYOR of a Village of 8500, whoopTdo.

Give me a break ! This woman who is being investigated for "Troopergate" in Alaska by the Legislature, is seemingly fit to be PRESIDENT if McSame flakes out? Talk about lack of experience!
She also pushed for TransCanada Corp., a Calgary-based energy company,to be given the primary contract to lead the $30 billion Natural Gas Pipeline along with $500 million in matching grants from the Northern Slope.
This woman is NO SAINT. Good Job McCain now we are certain you are senile.

So Hilary supports womens rights. What about all those women harrassed by Bill and Hillary stood around and did nothing. She was too intent on keeping quiet so that she could profit financially and politically from Bill.
Sarah Palin is a great choice she is honest and has done more in her period as governor than Obama has done in his whole life. Obama is a classic preacher but totally lacking in executive experience or even foreign policy exposure. Take away the grin and what is left?

[undecided081]

I have not decided where to go yet.I am no expert on politics. I am not in favor of the war. However I dont want to fight them here. Also, Bush inherited a recession from a Democrat controled white house and congress. Republicans take control of the white house and the congress and we have a huge economic boom in this country. Democrats take control of the congress a while back and we are in a recession again. Please help me understand! I am leaning towards Obama, but why do democrats cause recessions?!?!

[donbl1]

Interestingly, Gov. Palin has more executive experience than Obama, Biden and McCain together.

I watched her speech today and she is not used to being a follower. Strong and effective speaker.

AND, both she and her husband are union members......

[fralene-2009]

Aw jeez, can''t we do better than Alvin the Chipmunk and Pebbles Flintstone?

[sarav1-2009]

Sara is just a political pawn for the Republicans. They are hoping to win over the Hilary votes.Great for women but she is not Hilary and not enough to win my vote.

[smartee569]

I would certainly rather have someone WITH skills teaching a novice than a novice having to be TUTORED by someone with skills. I think that McCain made a great choice. Someone with values...that''s something the dems certainly lack!!!

[allurfears]

McCain''s choice puts POLITICS over PARTY. He had a multitude of more qualified people to select (including Republican women), but chose someone to "stick it to Obama".

How sad. This woman has only 18 months experience, before that she was part-time mayor of a 7500 person town.

She has NO foreign policy experience- she hasn''t even been out of her state to deal with foreign leaders. America''s enemies will eat her alive.

Don''t forget- she used her power to get an ex-husband of her relative fired from a state job. She''s under investigation for misusing her power to get him fired.

This is a weak pick. It looks all shiny on the surface, but once people take a little closer look at her she will be seen as the corrupt empty suit she is.

McCain has NO INTEGRITY. His "Country First" slogan is nothing more than that. "Winning First" should be his slogan. It is more accurate.

[rizabove]

IOUSAthemovie.com---McCain should have choosen someone who could bail us out of our debt owed to China, not some woman who believes in being barefoot and pregnant.

[rizabove]

Obviously McCain puts himself before his Country. He figures women will run out an vote for a woman who opposes women''s rights? Palin=puppet.

[liberalme]

I''''m not sure if I should laugh or cry. If Sarah is the most qualified republican available for VP and if she is ready to lead our country in the unfortunate event of a McCain death at 72, 73, 74, or 75 years old in office, and if this is an example of McCain''''s good judgment, and this is suppose to display that McCain puts country before politics, what do I do laugh or cry?

The ONLY reason McCain chose Palin is because she''s a woman and he thinks it''s an "in your face" to Obama.

McCain is a simple man and no VP can change that--we have already lived under leadership of leading with politics rather than principle.

[rizabove]

This is the worst birthday gift 72 old McCain has ever given to himself. He just lost the election. Pandering will not work, not this time. Palin is NO Hillary Clinton, what an insult.

[calimak]

So sad that the Republican Party has to lower their standards in a "panic play". Nothing against Palin, but the truth is, McCain is 72, if he goes down, I don''t want the future of this country to be handled by someone that was mayor of 9000 people. Speaking candidly, this is a move to sweep up "HRC Supporters". The truth is Palin and Hillary are very different on issues and experience. I am a HRC supporter, and any HRC supporter should be able to tell the only thing that Palin and HRC have in common is their gender. Don''t fall for the GIMMICK!

[memekiller]

It took them 24 years to put a woman on the ticket after we did. Which means, a non-white male will be their nominee (as opposed to simply being selected for affirmative action reasons) some time around 2032.
