But for all the right reasons.
The open attacks on Obama by this little bimbo, essentially removed the last vestiges of "protection" she had against any attacks by Obama. Now, with all pretensions gone, he needs to come after her like a shark hunter after a wild barracuda interfering in his enterprise.
This doesn't mean he has to be nasty, but there are creative ways to put her in her place. The worst thing to do, damned near as catastrophic as the Kerry non-response to the Swift Boat vermin, is to ignore her and try to take some mystical "high road".
Go after her full tilt, and rip her metaphorical "jugular" out.
Why are the liberals attacking Palin as a member of the radical right? Are all people who belong to the NRA radical right wingers? If so, men and women who hunt or who own hand guns to protect their homes and children would not agree with the far left. Is Palin a radical because she is pro-life? What exaclty does choice mean? She was told her baby would be born with Downs Syndrome and she CHOSE to have the baby. Does choice only mean you have to terminate a pregnancy? Is she a member of the radical right because she wants to defeat the Islamic terrorists that are determined to destroy us rather than read them their rights as Obama wants? This moderate Democrat is now voting for McCain/Paln.
It is extremely silly of you to not vote for someone because you do not like others who will vote for that person. i've had to point this out to too many people lately and I'm getting tired of it. It is not Obama's fault that some who support him have ideas or speak in ways that Obama does not embody. Whomever you vote for, Obama, McCain, a Green, whomever, it is guaranteed some maniac you do not agree with will also be voting that way. It is guaranteed. Thusly to not vote for someone because someone else you don't like will be voting for them means you cannot vote for anyone. Basically what I'm saying is that you've not thought about what Democracy truly entails what-so-ever. You do not understand that there is no 100% agreement, there is only the best of all possible options.
Are you kidding, asking a question like this?
Of course, choice doesn't only mean you have to terminate a pregnancy.
But, the policy position that Palin espouses means that, if she and McCain are elected, they will try to make sure that the only choice that is available will be giving birth to an unwanted child. Having only one choice is not a choice. Understand?
But, in the upside-down world that is right-wing Republicanism, a policy like that is not the same thing as government telling anyone what to do.

"I would not be surprised if it drove some to consider supporting the McCain/Palin ticket."
No, Palantir, it will not be driving anyone to the McCain ticket. You see, it's different this election.
This year there are millions and millions of people who are concerned for their country and they will be voting for Obama, and maybe some Greens and Socialist Labor.
And then there's you.
Good luck.
And let us remind the so called moderates (or at least those who pose as them) that a vote for McCain and Palin is a vote guaranteeing that even more extreme right conservative judges will be appointed to the supreme court therefor ensuring that abortion shall me made illegal. See folks, it isn't just that such and such has an opinion, what's important is that they're willing to take further actions therefor condemning the rest of us to the actualization of their ideology.
It was written even before they knew who the nominee would be. Link on my name.

Standby liberals, Obama is going to feel Hillary's pain very soon. Just like Hillary, Obama believes he is entitled to the white house because he is black, just like Hillary believed she was entitled because she was a woman. Obama used sexism and racism to beat Hillary and now she is bitter and clinging to her debt and porn star husband. Palin exposed Obama last night and he, along with all of you miserable liberals, are pissed. Palin hit a grand-slam last night with that speech and it is sure to awaken the conservative base like Regan in the 80's. The only way for Obama to avoid defeat is to forfeit now and hope to run for Governor of Illinois to get some executive experience before 2016. All the lumping McCain with Bush won't get you elected this year. You should've picked Hillary. Poor judgment Obama.
I don't know if I'd call Cat vs. Roomba an Obama supporter. Take a look at past letters--he/she is an equal opportunity insulter.
For me last night, the emblematic moment of the gallingly shallow GOP social issues rank hypocrisy was the wildly euphoric post-speech onstage families gathering/basking, which included THE WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN WHO’S BEEN BOINKING THE GOVERNOR’S DAUGHTER!
Try to imagine Democrats getting away with a stunt like that. Just TRY to imagine an Obama with a 17 yr old unmarried pregnant daughter alone. Then imagine the blood vessels in O’Rielly’s and Hannity’s and Limbaugh’s and Glenn Beck’s temples.
The whole thing is surreal.
Please sir, just for laughs, explain to us what your perfect, shining, giddy world of the future with Papa McCain and Mama Palin at the helm looks like. Shall we be drinking delicious oil from golden chalices? Will we learn to worship our Generals and elevate them into gods? Shall we dance upon the infant bones of our enemies and laugh as the sky turns brown and we're all surveilled into submission? Perhaps we'll even have some McCarthy style show trials again, but this time with a Guantanamo twist.
Oh yes, and please tell us when you first learned to hate all Liberals. Did God tell you to hate Liberals or was it Rush Limbaugh who educated you?
