Palin in the Green Room

You, MC Cain supporters are running out of argurments. You are a waste of our time! Manipulating the weakest won't work this time. Your party is out and for a very long time!!
Obama will be our greatest president in history, like it or not!

Her record regarding Big Oil and the environment, and especially her support of aerial "sport" slaughter of wolves (followed by up-close execution of wolf pups still in their dens), calls McCain's personal judgment into question. In the alternative, it suggests he is surrounded by inept advisers. Where have we seen that before?

What kind of woman takes such a demanding job after giving birth to a special needs child only a few months ago?

If Ms. Palin was a man and had her resume, experience and background, would Mr. McCain have picked her? No. Why did he pick her then? Why did she try to pull in Ms. Clinton supporters with a hollow speech? Is she not the opposite of Ms. Clinton? Didn't she say Ms. Clinton was a "whiner" in March, then compliment her to the high heavens today? Was flip-flop a job requirement? If we're talking pure scale, isn't being Gov. of Alaska less taxing than running a mid-level College?

Does they think we're stupid or something? Yea, Ok. You have my vote now because you put a woman on your ticket. This is an insult to the intelligence of women everywhere. I'm infuriated! We are not pawns! Hey McCain, thanks, but no thanks.

Sarah Bell, Cleveland, OH.

Great pick, John. She will do a great job as our VP.

She better stay at home to take care of sick child.
Any NORMAL mother will do just that.
What a monster!

I can not hear her puppy's barking.
Monster mother!

loriw, you're an idiot who only sees black and white.

Like most Republicans, they are primitive thinkers who do not see nuance and complexity in our complex world.

It's so simple. Outlaw abortion, lower taxes, kill bad guys. That's your whole platform.

Oh yeah...give everyone a gun. Maybe a machine gun.

Primitive thinkers thanks to lack of education and closed mindeness about the rest of the world except your own.

Let's not forget...she didn't really have her 5th kid; her 16 year old teenage daughter did, who was supposedly out of school b/c of mono.

Bad bad bad.

Anyone voting to put yet another Republican in the Whitehouse should do some quick checking of recent history and realieze the US and the world can afford for that to be done. There is not an argument in this world that can defend what Bush and the Republicans have done to all of us.

WASHINGTON-- Senator John McCain just announced his choice for running mate: Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. To follow is a statement by Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

???Senator McCain???s choice for a running mate is beyond belief. By choosing Sarah Palin, McCain has clearly made a decision to continue the Bush legacy of destructive environmental policies.

???Sarah Palin, whose husband works for BP (formerly British Petroleum), has repeatedly put special interests first when it comes to the environment. In her scant two years as governor, she has lobbied aggressively to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, pushed for more drilling off of Alaska???s coasts, and put special interests above science. Ms. Palin has made it clear through her actions that she is unwilling to do even as much as the Bush administration to address the impacts of global warming. Her most recent effort has been to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, putting Big Oil before sound science. As unbelievable as this may sound, this actually puts her to the right of the Bush administration.

???This is Senator McCain???s first significant choice in building his executive team and it???s a bad one. It has to raise serious doubts in the minds of voters about John McCain???s commitment to conservation, to addressing the impacts of global warming and to ensuring our country ends its dependency on oil.???

I find it so unbelievaby offensive that this is McCain's pick. He would never have selected this woman had she not been a woman. There is no other reason to select her. She was a city council member and mayor of a town of 6000??? Are you kidding? I searched long and hard to find a town in Maryland with that population and that small but couldn't. Little Havre de Grace had 3 times the population. My high school was half the size of Wasilla - so let's elect my student gov't leader. Was there not another Republican woman that was more qualified? Come on. This is who he thinks is the next best person to be President should his old @ss kick it? Down right offensive to women. And to little girls. Show them someone actually qualified. Not some former beauty queen who went not to Harvard not to UVA, not to Penn, but to Univ. of Idaho with a BA, not a JD or MBA or PhD or even lame MA. Astonishing, especially after all the crap about Obama's alleged lack of experience. This woman probably has less foreign relations knowledge and experience than me. Already she said "nucular" weapons and has stated she doesn't know much about the Iraq war or what the heck a VP even does. Maybe he should've have chosen my sister, she's a mom of 6!

With this Obama's fate is sealed! Now HRC supporters can vote McCain with a good conscience. Good bye Obama! Have fun listening to goddamn america back in Chicago. I'm sure they'll let you up on stage to say a few "goddamn americas" yourself.
