Thanks Rick, we always knew the MSMS thinks bitter working-class Americans clinging to guns and religion are getting their news from the supermarket aisle. (how else would we know Inexperienced VP candidate John Edwards had an affair and child while his wife dies of cancer)

Wow A mother standing by her daughter during a media driven social life.....She is running for VP. What a about a Presidential Candidate who best friends are criminal but I forgot so are the owners of ABC news... No wonder they aren't interested in finding out about the man who is running for president? No stories about everything Obama has done, thats right he doesn't listen to his spiritual guide (Wright) haha....News from ABC is as bad as CBS and NBC. I quit listening to the others several years ago. Now ABC too..... Report all the news not just the parts your criminal owners tell you .... Some journalists you are NOT!

Sexism rears its ugly head again. They got away with it with Hillary and now they are doing worse to Palin. Absolutely horrible. Poor little feeble minded women can't take care of their families and work, how dare they aspire to public office. We should be home barefoot and pregnant, serving our man. Some of you people better drag your sexist attitudes out of the 1800's and join the real world.

Choosing Palin is one of the most shameful decisions McCain could have ever done to the political process and to the GOP. Having her name on the ticket is an insult to all Americans regardless of party. Is McCain actually TRYING to lose? I never expected him to commit political suicide. But he is doing it. How sad for the GOP.

LOfromMO-please go back in your dark age hole, did you forget that this woman has a husband, are you insane, should every working woman with 3,4 or 5 children stop working and go home and take care of their kids? women do it each and everyday and their kids are fine, they do it everyday and have been doing it, even the ones that don't work but stay home and run the house, they still make the decisions each and every day. what are you saying?

first of all, lofrommo, how come you are not asking the same question of Obama, with two young children? Michelle has already said that Barack is only home on weekends. Are you going to call him a rotten father? Wow do you assume that women must raise their children first, and men are expected to run the country?

It's attitudes like that that will keep women in the back of the bus.

You notice that the SAME people who are attacking Palin, are the ones who attacked Hillary? Same issues.....they attack Hillary personally, with sexist comments, why she isn't there for Chelsea, why she tolerated her husband's cheating, etc. HIllary is MUCH more experienced than Obama, yet they all attack her, and let the inexperienced opponent run scot free. Sound familiar?

Yet, no one attacked Obama personally that way. So, it is not really about party, it is about GENDER.

As they say, weak men are threatened by a strong woman.

"A respectable woman should not support or advance a party that ignores her".
--- Susan B. Anthony

Americans should be ashamed.
Is this progress?

Palin is a disgrace, the least capable person to ever be nominated by any party, the whole world is laughing at the GOP and its soap operas. This is what 8 years of Bush McCain leaves for you America, a white trash soap opera instead of serious political substance. Anyone can see now that Obama and Biden are the only serious choice and the only hope left for the USA to regain its position as a leader in the world.

If anything, the Palin selection demonstrated that relying on emotional vectoring to steer the election is unreliable. Notice that in one day all of the effort to build up Obama leading to the Big Spectacle was undone and the poles switched to the other side. So I wouldn't count on that cover to change the outcomes. Expect a lot more of that. Obama is insulated because... well.. umm... because he is.... ummm...a .... lawyer.

But the press only runs with what sells.

The experience drum is loose at the rims. If there are two issues that will cause people to think, they will be:

1. EXTREME conservatism. It scares people when you tell them their children will be taught nonsense science and be unable to take the job from an Indian who was taught combinatorics are age ten while you were allowing your children to be told that considering all sides of a question means seriously considering the world was created 5000 years ago.

2. The Sorceror's Apprentice: at the end of every election cycle we are left with endorphin-addicts who fed on the hate generated by sites like Daily KOS. They have to do something with that energy so the question is can the winner actually redirect that destructive force to positive means or is he merely the Sorceror's Apprentice.

Goals vs leadership. Bill Clinton had it exactly right.

I am amazed at the support for Palin. I am a mother of an autistic child and 2 other children. There is no way I could have a full time job and meet the needs of my son and family. She does not have the experience and I do not feel her priorities are where they need to be.

I love to watch right wingers flush there morals down the tolet in order to prop up a dying party! Why to stand your ground right wingers! Going to have to change our definition of "family values"! Hippocrate bastards.

THANK YOU JOHN MCCAIN FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO PUT A WOMAN ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET! IF OBAMA HAD BEEN BRAVE, INSTEAD OF THE COWARD HE IS, HE WOULD OF PICKED HILLARY.

So when draft-dodger Joe Biden (5 deferrals and then a supposed "childhood ashthma" diagnosis) wife and child died, he decided to go to work at the senate despite having young ORPHANS at home. Where is the scrutiny?

Let us just say that ABCNEWS and Jake Tapper are worse than US magazine. They are bottom dwelling parasites pretending to be serious. May you rot in hell.

The liberal left and the MSM have never been so low. Let us bring back Reverend Wright to remind people of who the first term senator from Chicago listened to for 20 years.

"Palin claims to be all about "family", while she leaves her 5 month old down syndrome baby at home with her "mature" daughters" Debra you are disgustingly sexist! Why is it the woman's job to take care of the children when the man can get off his butt and fricking help out!!! Women have a right to distinguished career and be all that they can be while their husbands get up and help out!!!

"It's absurd sexism and I hope woomen take that thought to the ballot box." Amen. Enough of this crap from the Democrat party. Why do Democrats always eat their own when it suits them? What a bunch of sexist and bigoted hypocrites! VOTE NO TO BIGOTED OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!

I wonder if the baby is MClame's?

"Sexism rears its ugly head again. They got away with it with Hillary and now they are doing worse to Palin. Absolutely horrible. Poor little feeble minded women can't take care of their families and work"

__________________________

Obviously, she hadn't been taking care of her family too well. Its a fact, not sexism. How do I know? Her teenager is knocked-up!

BTW, Palin has a "pastor problem" that's about to explode into the media too. I love it!

"I consider myself a feminist, but I do put family first. " You aren't a feminist, obamamama. Feminism is about giving women choice and celebrating their choice in life. Feminism is the radical ideal of equality with men. You obviously know nothing about feminism. Do you even read prominent feminist writers such as Mary Ann Doane, Adrienne Rich, Teresa De Lauretis, Laura Mulvey or Teresa Goddu?

decentAmerican "You notice that the SAME people who are attacking Palin, are the ones who attacked Hillary? "

Is this the current Republican talking point then? I loved it when Representative Bachman tried using that line on Larry King against James Carville last night. Carville was Senator Clinton's bulldog who only recently let go of gnawing on Obama's leg to take a quick swipe at Palin. It really showed how flat out false that talking point is. Many of the people skeptical of Palin's "experience" are Clinton supporters somewhat aghast that McCain thinks she is anywhere near as suitable for the office as Senator Clinton .

Would anyone in the right mind propose on the first date?
This is what McCain has done by picking Palin.
GOP never should have nominated McCain in the first place!

GMAB...more smears from another liberal leaning rag.

and who believes that middle America believes the stuff in these rags any more than they do the ENQUIRER.

The liberal feeding frenzy is pathetic to watch....one can only assume that all thectivity is because the left is scared and faliling out.

At least the candidate himself shows some measure of decorum and says to lay off the kids.

So here are your choices:
You have a strong black man and a strong black women who are rasing two beutiful girls.
They have sound judgment in there VP pick.

On the other hand.
You have a crusty old white man who's cheated on his first wife several times. Who picks a VP with a drunk for a husband and five kids she aperrantly needs to spend more time with. And is preaching abstance and no safe sex. (WE know how that policy worked).
And if Obama had a teen daughter who was having premarital sex and got pregnant you right wingers would crucify him with it. And you know it!

Sarah Palin has a high approval rating in Alaska because she's been a pro-active governor. This is why she's now the VP on mccains ticket. I cant wait to hear her speech, i reckon its going to get people talking about her again and not trashing her family.

Palins daughter is a teenage whore!

What kind of role model is this for our teenage daughters?
