"She's Just Like Your Neighbor"

So more of the same from the Republicans. Divisiveness, hatred, sarcasm and condescension. It was ugly in the male Republicans, and is only more disgusting in the first female the party has ever allowed into their good ole boy network. McCain lost whatever remaining credibility he had after pandering to the party that treated him, now their "war hero," so despicably during their last presidential nomination process.

Does anyone really want their neighbor running the country? I don't. I want a progressive intelligent thinker in the Whitehouse. I don't want a whiney right-wing soccer mom.

I'm so happy for the McCain camp - they finally got someone interesting in the race. FINALLY. Might be too little, too late, but it's worth a desperate try.

Palin gave a good speech appealing to the small town white bigots across America, and all the small business owners and oil bubbas... these are the folks who all voted for Bush...TWICE. So don't discount their collective stupidity in falling yet again for the GOP candidates, their big heroes. Palin is certainly seductive, and exciting, especially comared with the white-haired, bad tempered old man running with her on the same ticket.

But they will not win. They will not disenfranchise the poor underbelly of the USA yet again in another four years of depraved economic debauchery, carrying on wars that have GROWN GOVERNMENT and GROWN our DEFICIT to the tune of 9 trillion dollars.

This is the party who last night looked like a tired bunch of Neo-Nazi Zombies - whose entire crowd had maybe two (2) people who weren't white in the entire venue. Sarah Palin, the "small town" girl with the pitbull attack approach appealed to this type of voter bigtime.

But she won't play to the big-city, smart and savvy professionals across America who genuinely worry about the vast underclass and who want to take progressive, yet responsible steps to help them. Their thinking is to spread the wealth - not hoard it among the white upper-class bigots like Giuliani, McCain and their followers. And talk a good game, like Sarah Palin did tonight, about looking out for the working class but meanwhile putting into practice the very same policies that caused our huge divide, our mega-deficit and our declining stature throughout the world.

Do not vote McCain-Palin - it would prolong the pain we're already wallowing in thanks to the upper class scumbags running and supporting the GOP.

My neighbor next to me is a sweet lady, with 2 stepsons and a 2-year old child of her own. I feel sympathy for her because she is obviously not very happy with her 'soccer mom" persona. My neighbor across from me works hard, but isn't respected by her children, her father (who lives with them) or her husband, who can't stand the idea that he is actually married, has teen-age children and isn't a twenty-something anymore. My own kids (boys) commented to me last year how sad they thought it was that this man didn't even recognize that it was his wedding anniversary - he had to spend it having fun with the single guys next door...No, I wouldn't vote for my neighbors to lead my country; I wouldn't even vote for myself, even though I believe I am far more congnizant of the issues facing our nation, and our world,

You would think something as important like abstinence would be drilled into the kids --funny the other Rep. kids didn't get pregnant. That just shows poor leadership. Help you kid get prepared and why aren't they going to college anway, even with a baby. McCain got excited about her and it had nothing to do with her job. The GOP trying to turn ilemons into lemondade. If McCain loes we know who they'll blame.

Sorry, but you don't want my neighbor as your President. Trust me.

I don't want my neighbor to be the VP. Soccer moms, PTA president doesn't give you the experience to be a national leader and 2 years as governor isn't much either. Remember Dan Quayle and how many thought he was unqualified and he's had a heck of a lot more experience than her. Besides why is it OK to deride eastern elite> She''ll be running to them in a minute. The GOP goofed.

To understand this plan, you have to understand the full impact of the plan. McCain doesn't only want HRC's defectors, as so many are suggesting, he also wants Obama loyalist, the undecided and the independents. By choosing a woman, immediately a very small unintelligent group of women will vote for McCain because he chose a women. This is a small group but worth mentioning. On the larger scale women don't vote for women because they are women, and simply putting a woman on the ticket won't compensate for their policy positions. The McCain Campaign is not worried about the larger scale of women who are intelligent and has high expectations concerning the broad issues on the economy, domestic and national security and health care. The McCain strategy is of no respect of a woman's intellect but her emotions. Here is the gamble of the McCain campaign.
Not if, but when the McCain campaign provoke the Democrats to attack Mrs. Polin, or when the McCain campaign plant a man in their audience to heckle Mrs. Palin with a gender remark like " Go home and raise your five kids" or when the Obama campaign says anything to Mrs. Palin, the McCain Campaign will continue to cry foul by reason of gender bias. women all over will get upset, take offense and think that the democrats are attacking her because she is a women. Then the women all over the U.S. will throw their votes to McCain and Palin. Thus making it a good game play that lead to victory for McCain. Sadly Mrs Palin would have served her purpose and so would the American women also be of no more use to McCain. It will happen. So will the American women be ready to stand firm and don't fall for the McCain sneak-attack hype?

All we learned was that Palinader can read a speach prepared by McCain and his advisors. No substance at all. No plans of her own. This was really sad.

Yeah well, my neighbor isn't qualified to be Vice President either. Sarah Palin is the most transparent gimmick i've ever had the misfortune of witnessing. The Republican Party is in shambles, November will bring much evidence of that fact. Wait until the debates...Obma will run circles around McCain. Period. Biden will leave Palin confused and stuttering. Period.

Once America sees these debates, the tide will turn for good.

Obama/Biden '08

"She's just like your neighbor" - and that's just the problem. I like my neighbor, but my neighbor is unqualified to lead this country. McCain lost this Republican. I'll either stay at home or vote for Obama. Undecided right now ...

Give the intelligent citizens a break!! Sarah Palin is not full of experience nor is she the best VP pick for the Republican Party. I noticed that no one in the republican party is talking about flip flopping now-since Sarah has come aboard. Flip-flop or is it just right out lies? What is the differnce from the present administration to the McCain VP pick? I say we have had enough scandals and investigations in using your office to get what you want-isn't it about time for a change? If this is the neighbor you like to have around your children(one who will say whatever will get them want they want) so be it!!

I don't want my neighbor potentially running our country. I don't want an ordinary American. I want an extraordinary American like Barak Obama. We already got a "regular guy" running this country--into the ground!
