McPOW's VP Pick Says They Are Ceding the Minority Vote, the Environmental

[tekisui]

Vote, the Union Vote, the Woman Vote and the Moderate Vote.

Fundie Palin's sole job is to hold the fundies. Those in the red states that were threatening to stay home on mcPOW. That is her only positive for his campaign.

He is now going to re-re-re-brand himself as a moderate maverick. It's too late. He sold his soul on eBay to KKKarl rover 3 or 4 years ago, and has gone in whole hog to the neo-con agenda since then.

The moderates, Independents, and leaving his stinking, sinking ship.

Palin is nothing more than a co-pilot on his 6th plane crash.

1. Agreed! The only people who swoon over her are cultists/fundies

They were voting McCain anyhow...but he can't win with them alone.

2. It was a big gamble

If Palin had had any substance to her and no freakiness, it might have worked. Although the race might be close for awhile, I'll bet we're going to see Obama really pull away after awhile.

3. That's a lot of votes (different kinds)

I can't really believe that there are that many single issue voters out there. I know I'm not one. I'm an old straight party ticket kinda guy. My father, his father and back. Workers, voting for the party that best represents us. Straight party because you need a majority to get things done. I have a hard time looking at the polls vary so much. How can people change their minds so easily? Mine was made up many, many years ago.

4. I heard the same thing the day he announced his choice......

...I can't remember if it was on Countdown or Hardball but it was on one of those shows. Anyway, the person who said it made the point that, by choosing Palin (someone who is extremely right), he had just lost the independents!

He needed to do something to energize people but by doing this, he has greatly diminished his appeal to independents. And I heard that only 28% of voters now consider themselves republicans........which means if independents leave him and vote for Obama (and I think they will), there's no way he can win!!

5. This may sound trivial, but he has also lost the vote of people

who truly care about animals, and there are a shitload of those folks. I keep sending out the ugly threads that show Palin killing anything that walks and the response has been overwhelming.

6. Only reason Palin herself doesn't walk on all fours is peer pressure.

:evilfrown:

10. LOL You're probably right. I bet she does walk on all fours

when no one's watching.

[Raine]

11. It's not trival to me, I find this killing

of animals and the bragging about it (like it's a plus) the very most repulsive thing about this pick. I know some animal loving people that are rePUKES and I intend to inundate them with the most repulsive pictures of Palin's kills that I can find.

12. This one was from an earlier thread someone else had on DU

and I sent it out. My niece emailed me back that she could only watch about a minute of the video, which I admit I couldn't watch, and it made her sick. Most of the people on my email list were appalled by this video. This guy belongs to the group Black Sabbath.


"Now back to reality. As you may know from my web site and lyrics, I am pro all life, not just unborn fetuses. I don't understand people who say they are pro-life, but then support unnecessary wars and the disgusting slaughter of animals for sport. I respect people's freedom of religion, but I absolutely abhor hypocrites. Which brings me to this horrific video of cowardly bastards in airplanes, shooting wolves for so-called 'sport,' and the hypocritical politician , who allows this cowardly act to take place in her state.

"I know lots of people who hunt, and I enjoy shooting at my local gun range, but I don't know, nor would I want to know, anyone who gets pleasure from this disgraceful behaviour. God/nature has created a beautiful earth, and populated it with beautiful creatures, and I believe that all life is miraculous. Why do politicians enjoy killing so much, and treating those miracles with such contempt?"

13. THANKS...

I'm collecting them all up and sending them out. If these animal lovers still vote for her at least they can't deny what kind of person they are voting in because I'm confronting them with it!

[tulsakatz]

17. it's definitely not trivial!!

I am an animal lover myself and many of my friends are too!!

Palin's already doing poorly among women due to all of the snarky comments she made at the RNC, if the animal lovers dessert them too.......there will be no hope at all!

[johnnydrama]

7. it almost seems like

So McCain/Palin would get a lot of big enthusastic crowds, obviously of people who were voting McCain, but not enthusaiastic.

So it gives him adulation, all these people are showing up to see me, me, me.

He was pissed at all the meh sleeping crowds.

[Arugula Latte]

8. How many fucking fundies do they think there are in this country?

[BeyondGeography]

9. He really was hoping for more than a few Hillary voters via Palin

but that strategy started falling apart when they booed at the mention of Hillary's name on the stump and was terminally destroyed with her convention speech.

[Retrograde]

14. don't you have to have some number of votes

to qualify as a legitimate political party and get federal matching funds? Or even to get on the ballot the next election? It's usually a way of keeping 3rd parties off ballots.

I know election laws differ in detail from state to state, and the numbers will differ. But it would be rather embarrassing to get fewer votes than the Libertarian Party in a state or two!

15. "co-pilot on his 6th plane crash": Bwhaahhahaahahaha

:rofl:

[chill_wind]

16. The other major point it makes is his incredibly flawed, impulsive judgement.

Both in his pick AND in his failure to vet his pick.
