    Love It!

    Shakespeare said it best: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

    The reason people are shrieking so loudly over this is because it hits the nail, right on the head.

    I can't stand this woman. Her whining, shrill voice reminds me of Roseanne Barr.

    Is this what I want in the White House? Most definitely not. I shudder to think of her so close to the Oval Office. Not just because of the havoc she will wreak, but because she is so far removed from how great this country could be. Her choice as VP is an insult to the history of this country, and a horrific reminder of far we have fallen. The rest of the world laughs at us as we suffer through these political games.
