Schlafly Chides McCain Camp for Palin Cancellation

Wow!!! All the "mainstream" media sites are only reporting anti-palin stuff. Looks like McCain hit a raw nerve...

Come on guys, let's go at it.

Should I start for the neo-libs? Okay...I'll start with another neo-lib's quote.

"Check out Bristol getting drunk. Guess that's ok for 17 year olds."

That ought to get things going.

Good Luck.

McCain doesn't get it. When you make a promise to people, you keep it. People were looking forward to meeting her and speaking with her. Is he afraid of what she might say? That's not being a Maverick.

mccain cant back peddle fast enough

McCain lacks judgement and did a poor job vetting Palin. Now the heat is on and he's trying to hide her.

he now has his surrogates saying obama is being sexist against palin

LOL WHAT?

he stood up for her LOL my god geta grip mccain camp you picked this lady you took the gammble and now the gamble is paying off so to speak

McCain, the maverick... EMPTY SUITE... has no clue what the just did.

News flash: Sara Palin SUPPORTED the "Bridge to Nowhere" and the Congressional earmark to pay for it.

As mayor of tiny Wasilla, Alaska she hired a Washington lobbyist to bring federal pork home to her town.

Oh, by the way, Alaska actually sends money (some people would call it a welfare check) to every citizen of Alaska! So balancing the budget did not exactly require expertese in management.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT SARA PALIN.

We have had two chances now to judge John McCain's judgement:

1. The war in Iraq that costs $10 BILLION A MONTH, without helping educate our children, fix our bridges, or make the change to an economy based on renewable energy.

2. Choosing someone to be one heartbeat away from being president, without any consideration whatsoever as to the welfare of the nation.

Gambler. Hot-head. Reckless John McCain.

It is about the gambler and hot-head -- the one who didn't send a team to Alaska to vet his VP until the day before his announcement -- the man who put HIS needs before that of the country, John McCain.

The only thing worse for McCain than having Palin on the ticket with him is having to withdraw her name from it. What does that say about his judgment when you have to walk back to the American people and say “I made a mistake about this woman”? McCain is making mistakes before his job has even started; and, this is a simple decision, who to run with? This proves that McCain has no passion and no judgment if he is only looking for a running mate to scrap him some votes. Political mavericks, strong leaders with good judgment, and Commanders in Chief don’t test the waters with political candidates they think can bring them votes and then pull them out once they see otherwise. There is no “do over” as President of the United States. Cleary, experience does not equal good judgment, or McCain would never have made such a terrible pick; similar to his terrible judgments on the economy and Iraq that he has been making in line with George W. Bush now for too long.

Schlafly, who gained her iconic status among conservatives by leading the fight against the Equal Rights Amendment, called the selection of Palin to be McCain's running mate "terribly smart."

Kinda says it all for me.....

He was thinking with the wrong head when he picked this lady....

Palin, Hillary, Obama, nome of htem are really the issue. The real issue here for me is John McCain's decision making skills. I don't want someone in a position of power who's like me. I want the best, the brightest, the most squeeky clean person in the oval office or around the corner from it. Palin isn't a bad person, just a bad decision for VP. But it's McCain I won't vote for now.

I think you might be right Beck. Let's get him...or her...or wait...or her kids...aha...

From one of your fellow Comrades:

"Check out Bristol getting drunk. Guess that's ok for 17 year olds."

Grrr...

I have always been tired of the GOP using Religion and God to sway voters….it should simply be about the critical issues and the best leaders to build concensus and implement necessary change to help ALL Americans, not just the faithful. I thought it was hypocritical that Gov. Palin had her poor 17year old daughter holding the 4-month baby with a blanket covering her belly…if she was sooo proud, why were they hiding this? This is so obviously a tactic and it insults educated women like me who can see right thru this risky move. I wonder how the GOP and the media would react if it was a political family that happeed to be Hispanic or black? Would we see it as simply a “common mistake”?! or, would we call it another example of the lack of American values and a baby out of wedlock?!?

Clearly there is a double standard and hypocrisy…Again, it should be about the best candidates and focus on issues.

God bless ya, Phyllis, there has been very little time and Gov. Palin has a message to deliver Wednesday night!

Imagine McCain and this jerry springer clan running around the whitehouse doing crazy stuff to embarrass the country.

Why oh why cant we get a normal president to come in and set the ship on smooth sailing , we do in Barack its up to the country to deliver.

Ms Schlafy has a right to be angry. After all McCain has sold his soul to the conservative far right wing of the party when he dumped his own choice for VP either Joe Lieberman or Tom Ridge and picked Sarah Palin as he was told to. McCain is no longer a marverick, he is a gelded old stallion that the right wing will use as it wishs for the next four years should he be elected.

It's clear that John McCain only selected Sarah Palin as his V.P. to get female (and conservative)voters - which he needed badly. It may be true that not all Hillary voters were going for Obama - but were they going to McCain?? Highly doubtful. I feel badly for Palin's problems this week. Nothing to gloat about, that's for sure. But McCain should have been more careful whom he selected and not pandered to the female and conservative voter. Now, I am sure he regrets his choice tremendously. Shows very poor judgment and planning on his part.

I'm sorry I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND THESE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES AT ALL WHATSOEVER!!!! I am a LIBERAL REPUBLICAN and these people in my party are what makes me SICK AND DISGUSTED with the Republican party. Just remember everyone we're NOT all like these people.

FIX YOUR MISTAKE, MCCAIN, AND REMOVE PALIN FROM THE TICKET.
