The UNMITIGATED gall of John McCain and the republicans
How dare they run Palin as one step away from the Presidency. How dare they put our country in such untested hands.

How dare they even try to compare her to Obama in the area of experience. I have more experience, more education, more commitment to my country than Palin, and I am certainly not qualified to be President.

How dare they demean community activists on one hand, and then McCain call for community volunteers on the other. How dare they try and compare the experience of an Illinois State senator for 8 years and a United States senator for 4 years with a small town mayor of 8,000 and a 18 month governor of a state whose total population is one fourth the size of the city of Chicago.

How dare they put someone unvetted up for election. Obama has been vetted by the American people, the press, the primary process for 2 years. How dare they then put up an individual that McCain had only met once, and tell us this is the best person they have to offer.

How dare they then try and attack the press as they try and vet her. We have only 60 days to an election, and their ONE task, ONLY ONE was to pick a replacement for the top of the ticket in case of an emergency, and they chose Palin.

HOW DARE THEY! :mad:

4. Amen!
And how dare the RACIST zombie M$M media shirk their jobs by promoting the empty-headed Caribou Barbie rather than vet her like they did Obama (and they continue to comb through his every move, utterance, bodily function, status and ordeals of his remote family and casual acquaintances, and other nonsense while ignoring her blatant soap-opera life).

8. First of all I hope you are being sarcastic
Palin does not have the experience to be president that Hillary has in her left little finger. So I am going to assume the best, that you are sarcastic.

13. Go where, Hillary?
Go support Obama? Because that's what Hillary's doing, and what she's asked the rest of us to do.

How about you quit attacking our nominee, and Go Away.

11. Indeed!
How dare they try to leave this country in the hands of someone who CLEARLY cannot handle the job of the presidency. It is clear that McCain could easily not fulfill a full term as president, and he went back on his promise to provide the American people with someone qualified to take his place. He failed miserably in that respect, potentially leaving our nation in the hands of someone who could not keep us safe, let alone help fix the economy.

15. You are 110 % right!
That is exactly what McCain said just a couple of months ago. I am not saying that Romney, Lieberman, even Guilaini Or Pawlenty are anything but stooges. BUT, and that is a big one, they have been before the American public, we know what they are, and yes can they handle the pressure.

There are republican women who are seasoned canidates.

But what they put up, was someone who is good with a snide remark. Oh GOD she is a female George Bush without his experience.

14. They have the unmitigated gall because McCain, just like every other repuke
is nothing but a goddamn hypocrite who's more concerned with power than the ability to govern. These people will do or say anything to keep a stranglehold on what THEY want instead of what's good for country. I want to slap a repuke in the face every time I hear one of them talk about "country" because they don't give a rat's ass about country and patriotism, they only care about having the power to rape and pillage the country's resources for their own benefit and force their backward, repressive, bigoted, hate-filled views on the rest of us.

God, I hate a fucking republican.

18. I am so disgusted with the republican machine
McCain is not a strong person anymore. If McCain and Palin get in , we are in for far worse than what we have had to endure the last 7 1/2 years. Time to really push back at the media and keep it up in the news, what an affront to the process, that this pick was
