Political Punch

No room in the republician party for me and the people that smeared Mc Cain in 2000, so I'm gone and won't be back. But, I had to support Johnny Mac and Sara cause Barrack said he will sign the freedom of choice act. I support giving a women a real choice! Child support at conception. Take the burden off the women and men need to man up. No longer let a guy say "abort the child or your on your own". Then, if a women wants to abort their isn't much I can do, but they pay for it themselves. Keep your right privacy private. No taxpayer funds for abortions. We are free to choose, but not free to choose the consequences.

No worse than Obama bringing on Biden.
It's clear politicians first and foremost want to WIN and will do whatever it takes.

"Mike" speaks the truth.

I have been hoping that Obama might confront McCain in one of the debates about why he hired Rove's boys, particularly Eskew, to work for him. It says a lot about McCain's character that he would hire Eskew after what he and others did to attack McCain, his wife, and his adopted daughter in the 2000 SC Primary.

What response could McCain give that would not make him look bad in some way or another?

McCain has fallen down into the gutter with the rest of the republicans

You can see Tucker Eskew's hand behind the recent "Obama pals with terrorists" comment from Palin. This is going to be a long, ugly month as Eskew gears up to try to trash Obama in any way he can.

McCain is no longer even in this race. The campaign is being run by Schmidt and Eskew, just like Bush's campaigns were run by Rove, Schmidt and Eskew.

Well, I am not going to say Obama is pure of heart either. But, as many have said before me, this is not the McCain of 2000, for whom I would have considered casting my vote. This is now "the real McCain". This is a man at the end of his career who knows this is his last, best shot at his life's goal - to be on that list of men (so far) who have been called The Leader of the Free World. He is a frightened old man who has sold his sold to Karl Rove and his cronies in order to achieve what Rove and his cronies stopped him from achieving in 2000. Many have wondered though, why Palin? The obvious seemed to be to bring back the Evangelicals to the GOP, and maybe buy a few Clinton votes from issue blind women who see a woman in a suit and assume she should be in office. But try this one - Mr. McCain does have a "Doctrine" of his own, however much it may resemble Bush's. He doesn't want a VP in there that, like Mr. Cheney, knows all the right people and can manipulate legislation and corporates with a single phone call. When Palin's name came to the table - sometimes I wonder if it started as a joke and then someone took the idea seriously - he thought "Ah, here is someone without any Washington experience or connections, after the election just put her in the corner and let her look pretty and hope he lives long enough to make it through eight years and let the GOP figure out where to go from there.". Imagine McCain's shock when Sarah, asked about what the position of Vice President entails, brought her vision of expanding the powers of the office of Vice President - and we thought she wasn't paying attention - as V.P. Cheney has... I don't know about you all, but I got a chill up my spine. Imagine, Cheney, with a Christian Dominionist (look up 'Joel's Army' on the net, add Palin's name in the search line and enjoy) agenda - YIKES!

Obama who once looked to his pastor and church for guidance. Now has left the church and denounced his mentor. All because the need to be president was more important than his friends and church.

And you Liberals are questioning McCain.

Priceless.

To those delusional people who think Palin has way more experience than Obama, consider this: the most votes Palin has garnered is around 100,000 versus more than 18,000,000 for Obama in the primary elections. As Olberman put it last night, she was mayor of a city smaller than the bleacher section of Wrigley field. The more we learn about how she actually "ran" the city going from budget surpluses to deficits, tapped huge earmarks and used her office for settling personal scores, the less we are going to think of her. Within 2 short years as Governor, she is already embroiled in 2 ethics probes. Which is par for course for GOP types.

I suppose hiring despicable characters who smeared you in the past is the new politics. What does it say? "I want to win at all costs?". McCain has shown singular lack of judgment and character. But since he saw Bush win with the same flaws in 2000, he's going to keep emulating his role model.

As a mother or 2 teenage girls, I cannot in good conscience vote for McCain and Palin. I am personally pro-life but Sare palin just scares me. She goes way beyond just being pro-life but she doesn't believe in any exceptions in cases of rape or incest or if the mother's life is in danger. She does not believe in sex education or contraception. That is really scary. I do not trust this woman running any part of our government that has control over public policy. Sad to say I will be voting democratic for the first time this year. I want my daughters to move forward along with the rest of the world, not go backwards.

As an independent voter, I had been giving a lot of thought on voting for McCain. I have always admired his independent, going back to the 2000 campaign. When he announced his VP, I was just shocked. For someone to be running on experience and judgment and then pick someone who is nowhere near ready to be president as your VP, that is just poor judgment. It seems like he was putting politics before country. At this point I was thinking twice about voting for him although my wife was still excited. After all the dirt on Palin and now this story, we have made up our minds that we will be voting for Obama/Biden and so are my parents. I am convinced that McCain will do and say anything to be president and that's not what we are looking for in our next commander in cheif.

"He's one of the best and most collaborative talents in Republican politics," McCain senior adviser Nicolle Wallace told Politico, speaking of Eskew. "He also has a wit and an ability to turn a phrase like no one I've ever met before." In other words, just the kind of Scumbag we like.

satan palin is a traitor to our great nation. she has advocated alaska leaving the union. and according to members of the AIP she still harbors those feelings. vote for mccain if you prefer to see one less star on our flag. SATAN PALIN IS A TRAITOR TO AMERICA and ABRAHAM LINCOLN who tried to preserve the union.

Anything to win...

ENOUGH OF REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION.

ENOUGH OF REPUBLICAN LIES.

ENOUGH OF REPUBLICAN POWER.

This year,

DEMOCRATS ALL THE WAY!!!

Wow. McCain VP staff comes to work four days after he picks the VP. Obama's VP staff was sitting around for weeks waiting for the nominee.

Now who's ready to lead the country?

Figures. McCain is in it for McCain. Whatever it takes. The old school Republicans in Arizona don't particulary like McCain. Back in 1992 McCain called his wife Cindy a c---. All you have to do is google three words: "McCain Calls Cindy" and you will see the book called The Real McCain. I for one have serious problems with his vp pick. Too bad his team didn't do their research before naming Palin to the ticket. But I guess they are too busy planning their next nasty attack on Obama.
Hey, did you know that McCain was called 'McNasty' in high school?
I am voting for Obama/ Biden.

He's pure slime and worst. Do we need a senile freak like him? NOOOOO! This country is hosed if he become president.

I'm waiting for the demon to jump out of his cheek.

Now *that's* what I call standing on principle.

After all the attacks by Romney on McCain during the Primary.....No way, he picks him. The democrats would have a field day.
