"Leave Palin Alone" begs McCain. WTF?
Someone who has been chosen as the potential VP for the most powerful nation in the world does NOT get the luxury of being "left alone". In today's political climate, she should count herself lucky that she's not having to answer questions about what brand of deodorant she uses or how long her menstrual cycle lasts.

Today's media is more intrusive and devoid of tact than ever. What altered reality are these people living in?!?! If you want to be "left alone", you'd better not choose a role as public servant, nitwit.

8. Yeah, 'cause Republican voters are REAL sympathetic!
Yes, I'd say sympathy is one of their most notable traits. :eyes:

Crying will not gain this woman any favor--not from the crowd she runs with.

11. Republican tears are *real* tears and worthy of sympathy..
Anyone else is just putting on a show.

Only Republicans actually have feelings, I thought everyone knew that.

16. Actually, I think the plan is for her to cry, the media to be silent and the GOP to blame the media
This appears to me how they have it set up. Once they have the media on the defensive, they are in control once more.

13. Nuclear war decisions are easy.....
What's to decide? You just do as the Pentagon generals tell you and nuke their (i.e. whoever the current enemy of the day happens to be) sorry asses to a crisp. And with any luck at all, you will bring on Armageddon and the return of Jesus and his angels to rapture you and the rest of the Republican, religious, right wing, screwballs and fruit cakes into his heavenly abode where you and everyone else can sit around on your ass all day plucking hymns on your harp and singing praises to Jesus and God almighty while the earth, along with its assorted atheists, secular humanists, heathens and pagans, turns into a cloud of radioactive ash.

9. I agree, she has every right to be left alone and given her privacy!
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 01:53 PM by Douglas Carpenter
provided she withdraws from public life

The same rule would should apply to Barack Obama and Joe Biden and anyone else seeking positions of great power

10. Bugger off you old Geezer .... She's fair game (according to Rove ethics)
The kids should be left alone. However - HER/HIS parenting skills (and the evidence therein), personal and professional ethics, family values (and the evidence therein) , are ALL fair game.

This is the party of family values ? Let's examine this reality show of family values as they reflect on the republican party and the leaders they choose.

14. How about he and his freaky VP choice leave us alone!
After 8 yrs of lies and bu$hit, the last thing we need is more of the same with an extra added dose of extreme religious fanaticism thrown in! Go away Gramps and take your freak VP choice with you! Both of you are BAD for America and in her case, the World!

21. Exactly. She can always withdraw herself from consideration if she doesn't want to be scrutinized.

22. McCain's smarmy ice princess of a wife didn't leave Michelle Obama alone, and she's not
even on the ticket. Recall how Cindy McCain had to inform people that she had ALWAYS been proud of her country.
