Back in the summer of 2008 a few months before the convention whining leftist feminists were going on CNN and even Fox News bitterly complaining that Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic nomination because of sexism. Their heads were in the clouds because they could not see thru the fog that the reason Clinton lost was because she ran a horribly inept campaign.
Obama won far and square and his campaignwas never sexist or condescending in any way to Clinton. The Feminists, in their own way, were as inept as the McCain people were in choosing Palin.
The McCain staff must have watched these women and thought they could get a leg up on Obama by choosing a woman as his running mate. The problem was not that there are no qualified Republican women McCain could have chosen. The problem was that they were all pro-choice which would have caused a walkout at their convention, so McCain's inept staff chose the most unqualified, inexperienced bimbo they could find in Sarah Palin who became a deserved mockery nationwide. If the Republican party chooses this bimbo to oppose Obama in 2012 Obama will become the first President to ever win with seventy percent of the vote.
In a time of war in Iraq and Afganistan, the economy tanking, and Iran rushing to build a nuclear weapon, choosing Palin was a disgrace and an extremely stupid and dangerous thing to do. The people who chose her made what could have turned out to be a catastrophic disaster for our country. Thank God Obama won and spared us all from Sarah Palin.
these dimbulbs for cynically and fecklessly endangering the country. Alas, their situations are the total opposite.
Not only are they not charged with anything, they're welcome to publish and spout in Murdoch's papers and Fawks Newz, (even MSNBC's Hardball, eg, the criminal Tom DeLay) where they're celebrated for again bolstering a completely discredited version of reality. They did it for bu$h, now they do it for Palin.
Galling that Kristol the prognosticator, with his head still lodged firmly in ... junior high, has a job at all. Even on their deathbeds, they'll never admit they were wrong.
Teh Unrecalcitrance, it burns, Joe.
who supplies his paycheck. Liberals will cry crocodile tears when the flaming Marxist is removed from their midst but will get financial relief from Sarah as will we all.
That Sarah Palin is still considered a viable presidential candidate proves that an alarming percentage of Americans are too dumb for a functional democracy.
One would think even these dimwits would realize by now that Bill Kristol is always wrong.
Sarah Palin would surely not have been on the ticket if anyone had seriously expected McCain to win. She was used in the same way the Democrats used Geraldine Ferraro when they added her to Mondale's losing campaign.
Joe,
There real "evildoers" -to quote the DEcider- who gave us Palin are the neocons.I will not call them losers for the fact they still have tremondous power to shape policy and decision-making in our country.She fits the perfect model they have with the Decider( does anyone remember him).Bill Kristol & Co. are still pushing for her every time they come on TV or in print.They will not stop until they find another troll.
Joe, If you want to press charges for endangering the country start at the AIE, RAND,WSJ editorial, CFR and FIX news.
I agree with you especially when you broaden the field to the scarey way that the boobs who advised us into the economic catatastrophe and the war in Iraq have had no price to pay,have no shame or remorse, and continue to be given privileged positions as advisors to our leaders of state.
I thought George W Bush was unqualified. Possibly equally unqualified as Palin.
That was when I decided that I could be president and do a better job than George W Bush by doing nothing.
So I am not surprised when unqualified people run for office.
Agriculture is.
that most people's vision of Texas is based on the movies and that California is what they're really seeing! The film "Giant" is a good example: shot in the Central Valley of California, a successful cattle ranch is hilariously represented as existing in the middle of a desert landscape where the cattle were presumably thriving on sand! That's OK, we got the message: a physical representation of the spiritual emptiness on display!
Losers voted against Bush and got Bushed instead.
Obama is so screwed up and Bushlike that you have to keep haroing on Palin to avoid the truth about your neocon fascist leader.
Is there anything that you voted for that Obama has fulfilled?
Would another four years of Bush and Cheney have been any different?
Do you really want to invade Iran?
Do you really want all left wing governments in Central and South America overthrown by CIA and corporate stooges?
Do you really want all these federal handouts to the rich crooks who destroyed our economy?
Do you really want to overturn Roe vs. Wade?
How stupid are you?

Just tell us who they are and that they are stupid, cynical assholes that a majority of voters (thankfully) saw right through.
Let's give Palin credit for one thing, she forced Republican political operatives to choose just how much manure they would serve, and citizen members of the party to decide just how much they would eat. The consequence has been dissension in the former category and defection in the latter, all to the benefit of the majority, who just said, no.
