Seriously folks- this is the ultimate smack in the face of the
people of this country. A complete mockery of democracy
and the voters.

I mean, why not nominate the local 7-11 clerk?
Or perhaps the high school cheer leading coach?

If Palin is qualified to be the VP, then I am most
certainly the next Queen of England.

Disgusted and sick to death of the mockery
being perpetuated upon us.

1. Absolutely.
McCain has made his contempt for the American people perfectly obvious with this pick, and I'm glad we're spitting it back in his face!

5. "More strident" PERFECT... that sums it up PERFECTLY.
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 07:18 PM by BeHereNow
They laughed at us through the "color code alerts."
They smirked as they passed the credit card atrocities,
knowing full well the dominoes of destruction it would unleash.
They passed the Patriot Act 1 and parts of 2 as they diverted
our attention to the "capture" of Saddam.
The list goes on... Rove? Contempt charges? Remember THAT?
And yes, it just gets more STRIDENT.

Palin is a JOKE as a VP nomination.
And guess what?
The joke is on us.
I'm not laughing.
How about you?

7. Fine by me- ship her ass and the rest of her ilk as far away as possible.
If they steal this election too, and prop up
these two morons as leaders of our nation-
I'm done.
I will not pay taxes and I will revoke my citizenship.

10. Becoming an ex-patriot is the only out I see, as far as taking power back.
Taxation without representation does not a binding relationship make.

13. Unqualification is the least of her problems.
She is a secessionist that wants to make Alaska a sovereign country. No thats hating America. As VP or even President she would have the power to began to dissolve the USA.
