Sarah Palin: I Am Confused

I agree, I think McCain has gone senile. I think he likes to surround himself with blondes. Complaining about Obama's lack of experience and then picking a unknown like "Just Plain" Sarah Pallin is like Bush Sr. picking Quail, some dumb kid from the hicks of Politics.

Hutchinson would have been a better choice if he wanted a woman on the ticket. But Sarah Pallin will be raw meat for Biden and a laughing point for the Democrats. Has McCain lost his mind? Doesn't he know that the Religious Right leadership is an All White Male Club? She may be pro life but that won't help him win independents or Clinton fans. Sarah Pallin is not a Hilary who can bring women to the Republicans side. Those who wanted Hilary will sneer at the mockery that McCain would think that Sara Pallin is a women they would follow to the polls.

Either Governor Palin or Senator Hutchinson would have been a good choice. The important thing about this choice for the McCain campaign is that finally, FINALLY, we have a conservative on the team. The fact that Governor Palin is a woman is a wonderful secondary benefit, and that would have been the same if McCain had chosen Senator Hutchinson.

Now McCain has an actual chance of motivating the Republican base.

"Just because You have a Washington insider and a community organizer with 143 days of Congressional experience on the ticket..."

Since Obama took office in January of 2005, I'm sure he has more than 143 days of "Congressional experience" (which, by the way, is 143 days more than Palin has).

"The Hillary gals..."

Ah, a little dash of sexism to spice up the commentary!

"Or Biden tries to hit her in the mouth".

You think Biden will try "to hit her in the mouth"?!

"the Hillary gals" it's called sarcasim

"Biden hitting her in the mouth" ....figuratively

the fact that I'm having to explain this says alot

Unfortunately many citizens of the U.S. are easily snookered and don't really don't make an effort to find out about many issues that make our country the marvelous place it is until it's sometimes too far gone. Outward appearances and smooth-talking politicians can be dangerous creatures. Issues that are extremely immportant to our country are national security, fuel/energy resources, immigration, economy/jobs, food sources, ecology/global warming, etc. All are closed related, but keeping our country safe from terrorists should be first and foremost in order to even think about the other stuff. Sen. McCain said he "hated war", and so do I, but at this time in our universal civilization, it's very prevalent and won't be going away in the near future. We in the U.S. need to have a strong and well-trained military to protect ourselves from these dangerous countries who despise our freedom. Even Russia is reverting to it's old ways of bullying so can we even trust them? Use your one very important vote to protect our country first--so that we can be prosperous and free, and also have a future for our children, grandchildren, their children, etc.

Kay is not pro life. She votes pro life but favors pro choice when asked. If th vote was to overturn roe vrs wade than she would vote no. McCains choice was brilliant. Rev Lynn, do some research, ignorance is no excuse......
