I think Palin's about to take a trip under the bus.

[jefferson_dem]

Maybe it's just me but the tone from the McLame Camp and right-wing hate radio now has moved from defending Palin to attacking Obama and the media in a totally over-the-top way. Sounds like they know she's done...and are paving the way for her withdrawal and will blame it on the smears and sexism from the media and the Dems. Watch.

1. or she has to leave to spend more time with her family...

2. It's important to note that "the media" in this case is not Democratic.

The M$M is largely comprised of Republican-supporting interests. But of course they won't mention that about themselves... :eyes:

3. "what, so you can't handle a single week of national politics?"

That will be the immediate (and correct) response from the Dems. It will just underscore the argument that McCain picked a woefully unqualified country bumpkin.

I don't think they'll be that stupid. Wait, what am I saying? How did they get in this predicament in the first place? ;-)

The main reason, though, they've moved from defending Palin to attacking Obama is because 1) they enjoy attacking more than defending, no matter who it is, and 2) they know they have a dud in Palin, so they know they can't get the proles energized in support, but they energize them in fear of Obama.

It doesn't mean that they're going to kick her off the ticket; it just means they'll forget the week occurred and go back to attacking Obama like before.

(Q: "How do you explain Bush's admission that the US tortures people?" A: "Obama's a gay black Muslim, that's how.")

4. Palin's new son-in-law supports Barack

LEVI JOHNSON'S MYSPACE ... AND HE'S SUPPORTS BARACK OBAMA ... This is Palin's new son-in-law ...

5. Not him.

His name is Levi JohnsTon. Not Levi Johnson.

That's a fake myspace page.

[demo dutch]

7. Levi is on line now, quick someone ask a question I don't have an account!

[Veronica.Franco]

11. I posted to him we'll see if he answers ...

It's easy to FAKE those myspace accounts so it may be a few days before we can find out if this is the real deal ... you know ... maybe they're not married yet because HE doesn't want to marry into that family ... ?? ... would you? ...

[demo dutch]

18. Ok so it's a fake 'cause check this out

10. LOL! This dude is OK!

[demo dutch]

6. Meanwhile, it was ok by the GOP to throw Hillary under the bus

[NatBurner]

8. huh?

[demo dutch]

12. Just yesterday a GOP pundit claimed on CNN/Larry King that Hillary was nothing more than just a

first lady and completely inexperienced
That's not sexism & demeaning to all the voters (especially women) who thought that Hillary was the one with the most experience?

[depakid]

9. That's not the Republicans' style

They don't toss their base (or their issues) under the bus like Democrats do.

And that's one of the reasons why they've been so successful come election time over the past 15 years.

[MrCoffee]

14. Tell that to Harriet Miers

[depakid]

19. Different deal- Harriet Miers wasn't the fundamentlaist base. Alito was.

and the Dems sold us out, caved in and confirmed him.

See the pattern?

[AlCzervik]

13. they're trying to get the spotlight off Palin, you know, distract and divert.

[Va Lefty]

15. I thought that yesterday

but I read a post by another DUer, don't remember who, that said the pukes never admit a mistake. Withdrawing her would be admitting McVain made a mistake. They'll just beat their chest and yell about the "liberal media bias".

[LSK]

16. Hartmann predicted she will step down by tomorrow

[AlCzervik]

17. For reals? Based on everything that's out or did he say more stuff is coming out tonight?
