How Dare McCain

How dare "songbird POW" McCain be so arrogant and narcissitic to jeopardize the future of all Americans with the choice of Palin. How little he thinks of all of us to choose to leave America in the hands of this person if he dies in office. Not only is he exploiting women with this condescending (image only) choice, he and Palin are also exploiting her disabled son and teen daughter's pregnancy for political gain. Quess her daughter wasn't pregnant yet when Palin cut funding for the unwed teen pregnancy center in Alaska.

There is other evidence out there Palin cannot manage her own family (much less the country) including her son's reasons for joining the Army, and future shotgun son-in-law's mySpace page removed due to all the expletives and statement that he did not want children. Palin even doctored her Wikipedia page just before the announcement. What hypocrisy from people who claim to have ownership of moral values and character.

These people are a slap in the face to all Americans. Sadly, many Americans besides McCain just don't get it. What will they think when our America is gone? Especially the MSM who report none of the facts and allow the Repugs to get away with claiming Palin has more "executive" experience than Obama, Biden, or McCain himself. It would be laughable if not so tragic for our country if they win this election.

Pleas to stay above the fray and play nice don't cut it anymore, the Rove bullies have proved that. It's time to get angry and stand up and fight!

Godot -

"Aren't you glad McCain didn't pick Pat Robertson?"

At least he would just put us to sleep (minus the Kool-Aid) with his voice, instead of listening to Palin's grating voice!

Original article: A pit bull in lipstick?

pacifica00 re "McCain and the beauty queens"

"Isn't that two for two now for McCain and the beauty queens?"

Actually, it's three. His first wife was also a pageant queen.

And we already know what he calls his current wife!!
