This Might Do It for McCain

By Geraldine Ferraro
Former Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate/FOX News Political Contributor

It’s going to be a very interesting campaign. I must say that several months ago I said that it would be great if there was a woman on the ticket — that I felt that John McCain would have to pick someone, especially if Hillary was the nominee. But without Hillary being the nominee it’s really quite equally as important because people are looking for a smart campaign and I think this might do it.

There are a lot of women who are disaffected by how Hillary was treated by the media, by how she was treated by the Obama campaign, by how she was treated by the Democratic National Committee — Howard Dean not speaking up when sexism raised its ugly head in the media. They’ll be looking to see what happens now.

1. Is she insane?

[mcctatas]

3. Need you ask?

batshit crazy IMHO...

[chimpymustgo]

26. No, the OP is. That is not PRAISE. The OP is a lie.

4. ...

:yawn:

[Alexander]

5. Yeah, all the sexism Obama never took part in.

Yet Ferraro still blames him for it anyway.

:shrug:

[dkf]

7. That is the worst part of feminism...misguided anger.

Makes some look irrational.

[mcctatas]

10. Sometimes I think that's the point...

at least of some posters here. My new policy is not to seriously engage anyone who has only been around since June 8th and has less than 100 posts, just in case;)

[Alexander]

11. Oh there was sexism all right, but it didn't come from Obama...

And I think the fact that Ferraro blames Obama for sexism he didn't create has more to do with her problems with black people than any of the sexism that did occur.

[JVS]

12. She's wallowing in the hole she dug herself into in the primaries.

[bluestateguy]

16. Most of which came from Republicans and the corporate media

How any of that is Obama's fault is beyond me.

[JohnnyCougar]

6. Women didn't even vote for Ferarro when she ran

She frickin' lost the woman vote to Reagan, and it wasn't even close.

[PM7nj]

8. Why do I have a feeling that Palin is just another Ferraro?

[farmboxer]

9. Sad.......

If she knows what Palin and McCain stands for, then I have lost any respect for her I once had. She would cut off her nose to spike her face. If McCain were to win, America will be lost forever. Bush has almost destroyed this country.

[Raine]

13. Figures...

I would bet anything that she will vote for McLAME & the beauty queen.

edit: added word

[Emit]

14. Of course she does...

[DangerousRhythm]

15. Oh Geraldine...

You are officially a total, reactionary sellout of women and the feminist movement. Now, fuck off. Hopefully, you and Sarah will have something in common to cry about over a nice cup of tea.

:mad:

[dkf]

17. Mondale shouldn't have picked her...she is not a good representative for the first woman VP nom.

[monomach]

18. If this were a just world...

...surely Geraldine Ferarro would have been absofuckinglutely demolished by a speeding bus by now.

Unfortunately, there's no justice to be had.

:-(

Oh, and if you're going to cry about me wishing she'd get hit by a bus...just shut up. I don't have a bleeding heart. I really do wish she'd get hit by a bus. Or get mauled by a bear. Or have a stroke. Or get hit by lightning. Or choke on a piece of food. Anything that shuts her stupid Republican filth-hole, really.

[BlueManDude]

19. Geraldine should set up a cot in the Green Room at FOX - they're going to be using her a lot.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Well, of course she did.

Gerry is just another fucking nutball.

[CreekDog]

21. Her writing is slap in the face to Hillary and her supporters

to suggest someone with far less knowledge and experience could appeal to her supporters simply because she is a woman.

Gerry, shut the hell up.

[thoughtcrime1984]

22. Her opinion means jack shit to just about everyone

Palin will be the landslide loser VP in the GE, just like Ferracist was in 84. Gerry, STFU!

[npincus]

23. bitter Geraldine.

sad. private parts trump policies.

[davidpdx]

24. Ferraro should just go ahead and campaign for McCain/Palin

Maybe they'll even pay her. We already know she's sold her soul to Fixed News.

[TheKentuckian]

25. Ferraro makes me want to puke

What a retarded skank!

[vanderBeth]

27. .............

:puke:

[Colobo]

28. Obama > Ferraro and the MILF, together

[BeyondGeography]

29. As a fellow VP weakling pick once said, it's a terrible thing to lose one's mind

[Undercurrent]

30. .

What the hell happened to you Gerry? I voted for you when you ran for VP! Vaginas over peace, and stability? Over the future of our children? Over health care, global warming... the list goes on. It was never about that.

Your twisted world view seems to have grown out of your own miss perceived sexism coming from -- oh my god -- a black man.

Pathetic.

You have relinquished your place in the history of the woman's movement, and fallen into a dark hole.

[zulchzulu]

31. Vagina before Country

That's all Ferraro cares about.
