1pm or 3am or 630pm ... NO One on McCain's 'team' Called About Palin ... NO one ...
State Senator Johnny Ellis (well respected and bipartisan) also made , and stated that he firmly believed that no vetting process had happened.

He was in contact with anyone who’s anyone in Republican circles, and no one was contacted about anything.

Only Palin’s lawyer has claimed to have been contacted by the McCain camp, but never specified whether it was before or after she was selected.

He wrapped it up by saying that he felt if we asked ourselves the question in our heart of hearts, no matter how we may feel about Palin personally, she is definitely not qualified to be the commander in chief, and leader of the free world.


McCain and Palin do one and only one thing really, really well -- LIE.

Peace,
Bob

1. Well, that may be what they do
but they don't do it well, their lies are so transparent, my 9-year old scratches her head when McPow speaks.

2. You're 9 year old is, thus, vastly more ready on 'day one' than Pallin AND McCain ...

Looks like we got us a veep.

Tragically for him, he forgot to get out the herpetology key to find out if she might be some sort of poisonous snake.

5. yep, like this
McCain's a famous non-wussy

A model he dumped
For money was trumped

9. poisonous snake, yes. I take some comfort in the thought that if by chance they
get into office, she's going to make his life hell. He won't be able to get away with calling her a trollop etc... she'll take revenge.

6. they did`t inform the fbi
a candidate has to be cleared by the fbi before they are announced. if john`s handlers would have done this she would have never passed. the alaska separatist party membership would have rejected her as a vice president. i doubt the secret service was not informed until the last minute

8. The caution and thoroughness of Obama's campaign make this look
like what it really is: reckless, reactive, and risky.

10. Palin was Rove and Cheney's pick.
Oil under the ground in her state. Check.
Inexperienced and easily manipulated. Check.


She didn't need to be vetted. They don't give a fuck what skeletons she has in her closet. They can make them go away or seem insignificant.

If McCain was running this show, his team would have been investigating Palin. But they're not and they didn't.
