McCain’s ‘Hail Sarah’ Pass

yo jonjon...got you now. this article wasn't just updated because of the buchanan bit. I happen to have your original article in all it's misogynistic glory and will share with you my review. you really have no integrity at all. it's so sad to see a supposed journalist and author come unraveled because of his mancrush. what will you do if/when barry loses? well i guess you can go back to hating on Hillary. why not the attacks on Cindy McCain? because she'll sue you as off? you provide endless examples of misogyny that is being used in our journalism classes. keep up the good work!!

The argument is "What if John McCain was elected President and died during his administration who would you rather have in the White House".

An African-American Kansan-Kenyan with ties to Muslims in Kenya and Jakarta, Indonesia or a woman whose genealogy includes several ancestors who came over on the Mayflower?

A man who follows the teachings of the radical African American Jeremiah Wright for twenty years and only separated himself for political expediency, or a woman who did not follow the teachings of a raving racists, but followed the tenets of the Bible all her life and who still acts on those principles in her personal and political life?

A man who admitted to using marijuana and cocaine (thinking that being honest about it makes using these illegal drugs alright) or, a woman whose 17 year old daughter is pregnant.

A man who has never been a Commander-in-Chief of even one soldier, or a woman who is Commander-in-Chief of the entire Alaskan Military including the very important 49th Missile Defense Battalion?

A man who has never stood head to head against a corporate entity, or a person who stood firm, not against one giant corporation, but three mega-oil companies - Mobile-Exxon, Conoco, and BP??? and won?

A man who has simply put forth amendments and sat and voted (or decided not to commit himself either way on 129 separate issues by simply voting "Present"), or a person who commits herself wholeheartedly to every piece of legislation put before her?

A man who is a product of the corrupt Chicago political establishment and who has flip-flopped on almost every issue, or a woman who has stood firm against the powerful good-old-boys political regime in Alaska in favor of Alaskan residents?

Would you rather have Flip-Flop Obama or Stand Firm Palin?

Here's another caveman's comments. He seems to be a disciple of jonjon.

"A GOOD MOTHER DOES NOT FOCUS MORE OF HER ATTENTION ON HER POLITICAL CAREER INSTEAD OF THE NEEDS OF HER CHILD WITH A DISABILITY.."

Obama's campaign has been good theater, but there's a reason rookies rarely score hat tricks.

While I agree that family is off limits in a campaign. I think that in addition to the lack of experience and possible abuse of power, and the hypocritical behaviors (doesn't support earmarks, but requests earmarks for her own town), the judgment of Palin does need to be discussed. The McCain campaign wants to taut that Palin is a "good mother." A good mother does not focus more of her attention on her political career instead of the needs of her child with a disability. A good mother does not put her children under the stress of media attention when there are such private family issues as teen pregnancy and unwed motherhood. I believe Palin demonstrates extremely poor judgment.

This is an excerpt from a talk show that Ms. Palin was on in Alaska.

Palin Laughs As Opponent Is Called "Bitch," "Cancer," Mocked For Her Weight (AUDIO)


Early on in the conversation before Palin started to crack up, Lester referred to Sen. Green as a jealous woman and a cancer. Palin, who knows full well Lyda Green is a cancer survivor, didn't do what any decent person would do, say, "Bob, that's going too far."
But as the conversation moved on, Lester intensified his attack on Green.

Lester questioned Green's motherhood, asking Palin if the senator cares about her own kids. Palin laughs.

Then Lester clearly sets the stage for what he is about to say by warning his large audience and Palin. He says, "Governor you can't say this but I will, Lyda Green is a cancer and a b----." Palin laughs for the second time.

What were teenage boys thinking when they heard the governor laugh at someone being called a b----? How about the teenage girls who look up to Palin. What did they think when they heard her laugh?

But there is more. Lester then describes Green's chair as big and cushy. A clear reference to the senator's weight. Palin laughs a third time. She's just having a grand old time.

Palin was clearly enjoying every second of Lester's vicious attack on her political rival.

biden well most definitly give her the VP smackdown

This nomination wasn't for the Hillary supporters ( we may get a couple). It was for the "bible hugging, gun holding" people that Obama looks down on.

Barry. I am worried. My dad says that Palin is gonna do a Sherman March through Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania and by the end of the day you are gonna wish you were back in Hawaii. Barry. are you right and left cerebral hemisphere dominant? I really found Reverend Wright's comments fascinating. You must have learned so much from him all those years. Lets see. If you attended his church for 20 years. That would be 1080 sermons. Wow.

Comment: If you want to draw women, there were plenty of seasoned women in the GOP, for example, Kay Bailey Hutchenson. Women with long standing records; not an f'n 18 month Alaskan Hockey Mom Governor!! This is the craziest damn thing i have ever seen in politics.

WASHINGTON ??? Republican John McCain, whose running mate disclosed that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, has opposed proposals to spend federal money on teen-pregnancy prevention programs and voted to require poor teen mothers to stay in school or lose their benefits.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's announcement Monday about her daughter Bristol was aimed at rebutting Internet rumors that Palin's youngest son, born in April, was actually her daughter's. Palin said her daughter intends to raise her child and marry the baby's father, identified in news reports as Levi Johnston, 18, of Wasilla, a high school hockey player whom Bristol has dated for about one year. The baby is due in late December.

McCain's record on issues surrounding teen pregnancy and contraceptives during his more than two decades in the Senate indicates that he and Palin have similar views. Until Monday, when the subject surfaced in a deeply personal manner, teen pregnancy and sex education were not issues in the national political campaign.

Palin herself said she opposes funding sexual-education programs in Alaska.

"The explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support," she wrote in a 2006 questionnaire distributed among gubernatorial candidates.

McCain's position on contraceptives and teen pregnancy issues has been difficult to judge on the campaign trail, as he appears uncomfortable discussing such topics. Reporters asked the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in November 2007 whether he supported grants for sex education in the United States, whether such programs should include directions for using contraceptives and whether he supports President Bush's policy of promoting abstinence.

"Ahhh, I think I support the president's policy," McCain said.

When reporters pressed McCain whether the government should provide contraceptives or counseling on contraceptives, he replied, "You've stumped me." McCain said later that he was sure he opposed government spending on contraceptives.

For those of you who missed jonjon's original article in all its misogynistic glory here is one of his more lovely sentiments:

"BUT MANY VOTERS WILL NONETHELESS WONDER WHETHER PALIN SHOULD UNDERTAKE THE RIGORS OF THE VICE PRESIDENCY (AND PERHAPS THE PRESIDENCY) WHILE CARING FOR A DISABLED INFANT."

I don't have the direct quote but it was along the lines that he was sure it would be discussed on Oprah and other such shows. Did I get close, jonjon?

And he capped off his blog with Palin will be: "HISTORY'S HOCKEY MOM"

So very lovely, isn't it?

"It is unfortunate that she got pregnant, and I respect her for holding herself accountable for that and keeping the baby (assuming it was really her choice)."

Comment: Trophy wife, Trophy VP.

pennydcb you are ignorant.............it is a great choice. You would rather have a Muslim? Wise up! Read your bible. These are scarry times. We need to be very careful who we turn our country over to. Also, Republicans don't need people like you. You'll make a good Democrat. I use to be one until the Clinton's came in and I wised up. I'm embarrased your a Republican too.
