Huckabee Strikes Partisan Tone at RNC; Blasts Biden, Defends Palin

“She knows where she stands on issues that are important to so many of us,” Huckabee said of Palin”
Hmmm……… So let’s have some press interviews so that we can know

Paulin is running away from media and she is not interested that people get to know her, she is hiding something but the media will find out, certainly many things came out already and the most importants issues are at she is a cessessionist and a poor mother. More to come out from this quick and dirty selection from porr old McCain. God save America from McPaulin.

this is what happens when you dont vet your picks…
i mean seriously, what executive experience does she have again? Tucker Bounds couldnt even state ONE thing she had ordered the alaskan guard to do…
this was a terrible pick it wasnt the pick mccain wanted, he was forced to do it, and now its blowing up in his face.
plus having a downs child, why would you ever want to be VP? You wont be able to properly give the child that you WANTED to have as much attention as they so desperately need….
You are giving the child life, and then taking away his life by not being there
just a stupid pick
she is a terrible pick she stomped all over mccains message he has been yelling for the last two months
this all comes down to judgment and mccain failed in his judgment here

This is what I was saying in a previous thread. Republicans are intentionally focusing on the teenage pregnancy.
By doing this, they are hoping the rest of us don’t notice the ethics investigation and Palin’s connection to a secessionist Alaskan political party.

Huckabee: “In fact I don’t know if you realize this but Sarah Palin got more votes running for mayor in Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden did in two quests for the presidency…”
If so, then there was massive voter fraud, because Wasilla has less people than Biden’s Senate office.

Where does she stand on earmarks- apparently thats important to McCain? Tee hee! This is where the religious right get it wrong. Abortion just isn’t a huge issue, in terms of public policy, to a lot of American people, and it makes the religious right sound condescending when that is the only issue they can talk about. Are they not bothered about social justice for instance? And maybe Mike Huckabee wants to talk to Palin about environmental issues.

And those issues are the economy, health care, foreign policy….and her stance is, no health care plan, more big oil profits and help the rich, and well we know that she hasn’t had to deal with foreign policy, right? Its a sorry state of affairs to try to push some novice who’s only claim to fame is a being a soccer mom, shooting guns, having a retarded child in spite of knowing she was pregnant with one and oh a pregnant teen-age daughter who WILL have that baby and marry the father (if he wants to marry her I presume) of course since Sarah likes to shoot guns he better. Puh leeze, I think John McCain realized he shouldn’t be president and this is the best way to lose.

test

considering the grand hypocrisy of obama, palin is comparatively genuine

If so, then there was massive voter fraud, because Wasilla has less people than Biden’s Senate office.

Yup, that’s how many votes Joe got. The rest were stolen by Zerobameus, God of Nothingness.

After a weekend of watching McCain surrogates stumbling and fumbling to find a coherent defense of this pick, we seem to see an emerging strategy.
Both from Huckabee and numerous posters here, we see this indignant claim about how the Democrats are attacking a teenage pregnant girl.
Does it matter this isn’t true? Nope, not really. Not to Republicans. Doesn’t matter at all – so long as it undercuts the questions people really are asking about this pick.

Attacking a teenage girl? Laughable claim. Putting a pregnant teenager in the whitehouse is an attack on America’s international image, if anything…

Huckabee never could do math.

Does Pastor Kalnins like male escorts or just his parishioners’ wives/daughters?

“I’m proud of her record as a reformer”
you mean “as a liar”

chris if by genuine you mean corrupt and evil then yea sara wins over obama every time!
Palin said she didnt vote for the bridge to nowhere, but she campaigned in ketchikan (im from ketchikan) and she indeed voted for the bridge
Palin has how many firing scandals?
she isnt a fighter of pork barrel spending but someone who hired lobbyists to garner MILLIONS for her home town, and she ahs more pork then a pig farm…
this was a disastrous pick

I wanna hear 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 and more 9/11

“As a born again, bible-toting Christian, I’m offended by these hypocrites” Mary, you should take the plank out of your own eye before spamming your unChristian remarks. Perhaps, you need a little more love, forgiveness and redemption from Jesus to soothe things over for you.

More Sarah’s Pastor
Kalnins has preached that the 9/11 attacks and the invasion of Iraq were part of a “world war” over the Christian faith, one in which Jesus Christ had called upon believers to be willing to sacrifice their lives.

======================================
Palin has a NUT Pastor?
Woo Hooo! Can you say Reverend Wright? Let the VETTING FUN BEGIN!!!!!
Thinking do you have a link to any info on that one? We need to get the e-mail machine cranked up!!!!
I just got two e-mails this AM from a couple of my Repub friends of Palin in a bikini holding a gun!!!
What a riot!!!!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!

So Sarah Palin is another religious nutcase?
Great, that was all the GOP was missing, a religious nutcase to impose her veiws on me because god tells her she is right.
God talks to me too, he says that anyone who speaks for him is full of sh*t.

Issues that we all care about – who the RNC? Earmarks, a bridge to nowhere, 20 mill in debt. Come on and stop drinking the cool aid HUck – these are issues the republicans believe in!

“we cant trust someone in the presidency with no experience!” bhrandon, I agree! VOTE NO TO OBAMA AND OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!!!

“her abuse of power while in office both as mayor and governor, and her LIES.” Vetter, we must be talking about Obama and his lies about voting against FISA, Obama’s lies about his uncle liberating Jews from Auschwitz and Obama’s lies in signing a pledge to use public financing in the general election.

Goodness you’re vile, Jeff. By the way Obama’s parents were married and divorced when he was two. His grandparents helped raise him — his mom didn’t abandon him. Read a book. Or maybe two. And stop attacking just because your candidate McCain has his head up his arse. Palin is a ridiculous VP pick — seriously crazy. Huckabee would have made more sense if we wanted to get the evangelicals going. And practically anyone else would have made more sense on the experience front. McCain has made a mockery – national and international – of this process. It’s a sad, sad day when people rally around this choice. She’s a boob and I mean that in only the cleanest nicest sense of the word.

Jeff
then i guess we vote for who then?
obama has foreign policy experience, joe biden has a crap load, mccian has a crap load, but his vp pick has waht?
mccin used a political gimmick a political roll of the dice and is that someone with whom we want to give the highest post in the land?
mccain obviously doesnt have hte right kind of judgment to lead.
obama carefully vetted carefully went through all his candidates to make the best vp pick… mccain woke up and said, we need a women so we can get the hillary voters
MCCAIN DOESNT HAVE THE JUDGMENT TO BE PRESIDENT
and his VP PICK DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE VP

Obama had NO power to abuse. His ‘present’ votes don’t count. His lies are well documented.
Palin lies too, and she lies like a dog. Face it.

daphne,
Sorry girl, its not going to work anymore!!!
Hey have you heard Palin has some NUT CASE right wing Pastor??
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!

Three months before she was thrust into the national political spotlight, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to handle a much smaller task: addressing the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God.
Her speech in June provides as much insight into her policy leanings as anything uncovered since she was asked to be John McCain’s running mate.
Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
Religion, however, was not strictly a thread in Palin’s foreign policy. It was part of her energy proposals as well. Just prior to discussing Iraq, Alaska’s governor asked the audience to pray for another matter — a $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state. “I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said.

if the GOP are so sure about Palin, why is she being hidden from the press.. actual interviewers? Does she only get to read scripts in front of an unquestioning crowd?
McCain/Palin: Alaska First

I’ll say it again. If its true that 1) that Alaskan Independence Party advocates secession from the United States, and 2) Palin supported this party anytime in the last couple years, she’s done.
Watch for verification (or not) of these points, and if verified, watch for her to drop off the ticket.

Sarah Barracuda will not quit. She has to be fired. Bet on it.

geevil
what is palins foreign policy experience
biden has a ton of foreign policy experience if you think he doesnt you are even more clueless then you appear to be
its great to see you running around in circles trying to figure out a way to talk about the democrats with such a terrible VP pick….

bhrandon – I really appreciated that Bill Clinton line from the other night:
“The world has always been more impressed with the power of our example than the example of our power.”

Why hasn’t the media told us about Biden’s alleged severe asthma problem? or his two brain operations? or Mr. chicken’s 5 deferrments

Davis: Don’t think so:
Here’s a Question we Republicans and other concerned citizens are asking:
Why is the MSM including ABC News
writing this crap instead investigating
Obama’s relationship with
weather underground terrorist
William Ayers?
August 22, 2008
Bill & Barack’s Excellent Adventure
By Thomas Lifson
William Ayers, unrepentant terrorist and education professor, is once again being tied to Barack Obama in the public mind. Controversy builds over the withholding of the archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an expensive failed school reform effort headed by Obama and effectively run by Ayers, held by the library of the University of Illinois Chicago. Researchers who have gained access to a few documents recording the history of the project have found strong evidence of a very important working relationship between the two men on the project, Obama’s sole claim to executive experience.
Oddly enough, even though the project produced no measurable improvement in student performance according to its own final report, educators and administrators — participants and grantees of the CAC — were reported by outside monitors to be often “ebullient” about the activities. For insiders, it was an excellent adventure. For the pupils stuck in the failing public schools of Chicago, an ongoing, unrelieved disaster.
Obama and his campaign long have gone out of their way to downplay, in fact distort, the long and evidently deep relationship between Ayers and Obama. In the Philadelphia Democratic debate last April, George Stephanopoulos asked Obama about his relationship with Ayers, and the candidate responded:
“This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
“And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn’t make much sense, George. [....]
“So this kind of game, in which anybody who I know, regardless of how flimsy the relationship is, is somehow — somehow their ideas could be attributed to me — I think the American people are smarter than that. They’re not going to suggest somehow that that is reflective of my views, because it obviously isn’t.”
Almost two months earlier, the “neighbor” talking point campaign manager David Axelrod introduced the notion that Obama and Ayers were mostly just neighbors, telling The Politico’s Ben Smith,
“Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school,” he said. “They’re certainly friendly, they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together.”
Ayers and his wife are in their sixties, while the Obamas are in their mid-forties. Ayers’ children are all adults, while Obama’s children are currently 10 and 7. Axelrod’s prevarication is telling, bespeaking confidence that nobody in the media will bother to dispute an obvious falsehood.
“Flimsy” turns out to be a completely misleading word when it comes to characterizing the Obama-Ayers relationship.
Notwithstanding the campaign’s efforts to direct attention away from Ayers, a 527 group, American Issues Project, has just released the following ad tying Obama to Ayers, and says it is spending 2.8 million on television airtime in key states.
Despite the legally questionable embargo of the CAC archives, most of its tax returns and official evaluations of the CAC have already been made public. In the hands of intrepid bloggers such as Steve Diamond, Tom Maguire and Dan Riehl, there is already proof of Obama’s extensive involvement with Ayers over the course of his chairmanship, and an emerging picture of Obama’s indecisiveness and absence when serious problems needed leadership.
Barack Obama joined the CAC shortly after William Ayers and Anne C. Hallett received news that their letter of November 8, 1994 submitting a grant proposal to The Annenberg Challenge had been approved. They were to get as much as $49 million from Annenberg, plus tens of millions more dollars from other foundations. Obama’s involvement predates by months the actual incorporation of the CAC and his appointment as founding chairman of the board. He came on board almost as soon as the proposal was approved.
How on earth did a relatively unknown associate at a politically-connected but small Chicago law firm come to be entrusted with the heady task of handing out tens of millions of dollars of other people’s money?
Keep in mind that Obama was at this point in his career very undistinguished considering his pedigree. It would be a kind understatement to say he had underperformed his academic resume. Three years out of Harvard Law and the Law Review Presidency, here is a short list of some of the things Obama had not done:
Clerked for a US Supreme Court Justice (or any Federal Judge);
worked in an important legal position at any level of serious responsibility;
written a law review article or note or published anything of legal substance.
As of 1995 Obama may have had the most professionally empty resume of any President of the Harvard Law Review three years gone from “The Law School.”
And yet Ayers gave him a gig that would enable him to hand out large amounts of money to many people in Chicago, who could be expected to be grateful, once Obama ran for office — as he was to do later that very year, in an event held at the home of Ayers and Dohrn.
Quite clearly, Obama was already well-enough known and trusted by Ayers to be offered the sensitive, prestigious and highly visible post of chairman of this important new undertaking. So we must ask, when did Obama and Ayers actually first get to know one another? And how did they come to trust one another?
One possible connection between Ayers and Obama was Sidley Austin, the prestigious Chicago law firm where Obama had a summer job after his first year at Harvard Law School, and where he met his future wife Michelle, assigned to him as a mentor. Also working at Sidley Austin was Bernadine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers, and a fellow Weather Underground terrorist. Given the shared “progressive” politics of the three, they probably knew one another and associated together at a firm known as a white shoe corporate practice.
Or Obama might have met Ayers even earlier, during his stint as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, in fact. Ayers was a well-known and very active figure in left wing Chicago politics, and might have encountered the young, articulate, Ivy League educated rookie black radical Obama, working in a Saul Alinksy spinoff.
We soon will know much more about the period of collaboration between Obama and Ayers following the start of the CAC. Even if the archives continue to be withheld from public scrutiny, the cat is out of the bag with the documents available to all. The formidable analytical engine of bloggers trading insights and new data is warming up.
But the period prior to 1995, the time when Bill and Barack, the terrorist and the presidential aspirant, got to know one another and build the relationship of trust, is one excellent adventure likely to remain obscure.

Paul
me too it was a great line and it is exactly how i have always thought of america.
i always thought we were the people that came in to save the day, we were the people who were right and could solve the issues,
we had all this power but we didnt use it for ill but for the good…
and with the bush administration it all changed
and now we have all these republicans like geevil running around saying appeaser and all this crap
this is why voting for mccain is deadly and disastrous…
he is in the mind set of the bush administration and geevils mindset
talking is bad we should just nuke everyone,
we are right they are wrong
we love god god is on our side
i mean what is this crap… we are suppose to be a nation that leads, not a nation that destroys

If Palin supports Alaskan secession and is forced to drop from the ticket, who does McCain come back with?
Can he go with a pro-choicer like Lieberman or Ridge? Can he go with a part-time pro-choicer like Romney? Or does he have to pick a tried and true pro-lifer?

Geevil
why isnt hte media making a HUGE deal about the fact that ONE of our candidates for the presidency has had not ONE but TWO of hte most deadly skin cancers removed from his body
i mean cmon… it is so likely that mccain succumbs to this skin cancer that it obviously brings to the fore front his VP pick
so geevil what say you now?

Awe shucks Huck.

Beck: “…the fact that Gov. Palin is a NeoPentacostal Dominionist which is a church that preaches purging the Earth of all non-Christians by a specially anointed army of God (starting with the Jews), IS news.”
Are you serious, or is this just message board exaggeration?

hey reaganfan
heres some dirt you can dig into
It looks like Sarah Palin’s claim to represent a cleaner brand of politics could be about to take a bruising.
The Washington Post reports today that, while Mayor of Wasilla, Palin oversaw the hiring of a lobbyist, Steven Silver — a former chief of staff to now-indicted GOP senator Ted Stevens — to help win federal earmarks for the city.
But Silver appears to have additional ties that could further undercut Palin’s image as a squeaky-clean reformer. According to Senate lobbying disclosure reports examined by TPMmuckraker, from 2002 to 2004 Silver listed as a client Jack Abramoff’s lobbying firm, Greenberg Traurig.

Obama has run away from the media and refused to answer questions hundreds of times. Case in point, his relationship with Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers. He refuses to be honest.
The only thing Obama has run is his mouth. Palin has run a town and the largest state in the union. She is qualified, he is not.

and there is no ugliness in Rush Limbaugh’s voice?

first off janie think were all talking facts here about palin and mccain
mary people have brought up rezko and bill ayers, and guess what theres nothing there…. if there was dont you think mccain would be pounding on it… he cant do it without bringing up his own scandals… and theres just not enough to really get a foothold its just… theres nothing there
and joseph i cant understand all teh caps.. makes it hard to read for some reason
but your last line seems to be filled with speculation and hyperbole

Mary,
Rezo, Ayers? Come on “sweetie” we have better things to talk about now…
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOVE DIRT and with this FOOLISH 15 minute decision by McCain to “shake things up” we now have it!!!
Everyday a new scandal, this is great!!!
You should of heard all the jokes at my office this morning about Palin! From Dems and Repubs alike!
She is the talk of America and the butt of almost every “water cooler” joke out there!!!
Everyone I know just can’t wait to here that “lightweights” speech on Wednesday night!!!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TONY
also, its NOT the DEMS bringing this UP…
you baffoon, obama even said families are off limits…
ITS THE MEDIA… and guess why they are bringing it up
because Palin wasnt vetted properly, she is an evangelical and they support a thinking called abstinence instead of sexual education
my guess, they shoudl ahve told their daugther that a condom or birth control would stop her from getting pregnant and taht pulling out never works

love how there is NOT ONE mention of Palin on their news pages
although they do have
applause for senator palin article
and two joe biden articles senator doofus and president
lol must be hard to ignore all the palin news

mccain picked palin only after being told by charlie black that a lieberman pick would cause a riot at the convention
mccain was lobbied by his own campaign strategist lol
what a failure

t’s becoming more and more clear that Palin will become a liability.
BRING BACK ROMNEY !
Before it’s to late !

========================================
Seriously Republicans, this is what you guys should be blogging about!
DUMP PALIN and BRING BACK ROMNEY! It is your only chance to win this election!!!

Huckabee is a joke, and if palin were concerned at all about her family she would stay home and take care of her baby and her daughter. This was obviously a last minute choice for mccain and it has given the country a good idea of his decision making skills. Do we really want someone as president that finished in the Bottom 1% of his college class? Obama/Biden 2008!!!

bhrandon, with proper treatment and early detection, a person with skin cancer has the same life expectancy as anyone else. The skin cancer is simply removed if it occurs. The key is vigilance and early detection. McCain is healthy and has more longevity in his family than the DNC contender. It is best to consult a medical expert for an understanding of medical facts.

LOL! The libtards are in a frenzy because of the brilliant VP pick made by McCain!
The senseless outrage from the left, emotionally stunted, party of Donks is the best indication that the Republican party will win the White House again!
Thanks for making me feel even better about McCain/Palin!
Democrats = losers.

Stan: It’s not always true that with proper treatment and early detection a person with skin cancer has the same life expectancy as anyone else. Ronald Reagan’s daughter, Maureen Reagan died of skin cancer in 2001 after dealing with it for five years. I have a friend in her late thirties who has had nearly 40 surgeries for skin cancer and a close friend of our family, a man in his mid sixties, died of the disease six months ago after having been given a clean bill of health each time they removed lesions. Melanoma is particularly deadly. If McCain is in no danger of succumbing to cancer, then why won’t he release all of his health records like other candidates have done?

Levi Johnston Bristols baby daddy, said on myspace ” I don’t want to have kids.” I’m just a f..king redneck.
Nice to keep the Repug trash piling up…

There is also an investigation going on now about why palin’s X-brother-in-law lost his job after palin’s sister divorced him. This investigation is slated to be revealed in late October right before the election. Should palin have been vetted more? Good question for the republicans to be asking themselves right now. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Joseph:
Thanks for taking out the caps.
And now you can go back under your rock.

“Republicans, get off your butts and DONATE and VOTE.”
Chris: Wouldn’t McCain have liked to have had a list of RP’s supporters (and donaters)? Wouldn’t McCain have liked to have had Barr’s 5-7% of the vote? Wouldn’t McCain have liked to have had a whole enthusisastic army of grassroot activist true conservatives helping him out?…and lending himtheir support? McCain alienated a principled group (yes, with their own fringe element, of which all parties have – just read the lunatic fringe left’s actions recently) of true conservatives by his and the RNC’s actions during the primary.
Don’t worry about the left, they are hanging themselves as we speak.
Good Luck.

The hate campaign against Sarah Palin is backfiring among the voters that Obama needs in order to win this election. It will take a few days to sink in, but I predict that soon after the convention ends, the polls will show McCain/Palin far ahead of Obama/Biden and it will stay that way through the election in November.

STAN
constant reoccurance of skin cancer is fairly troubling…. it could be anywhere on his body, and it could spread like wild fire
so please, i lost my grandfather to skin cancer after his removal of two small lumps… it went to his bones and that was that
soooo the rest of us are concerned that the guy who has skin cancer whos running for president PICKED SOMEONE WHO HAS ZERO EXPERIENCE TO PANDER TO WOMEN VOTERS
which is an insult to women and hillary clinton… at least hillary was capable and ready to be president Palin has ZERO experience

Tony,
As you see we have different values. I value men and woman who rise up to the challenge when they are thrown a curve ball whether it be a special needs child or a pregnant teenager. Are you sure that everything you are reading and hearing are the “facts”? I respect your decision to support Obama/Biden but I am am a non party voter and the way in which some Democrates are representing their candidate with such negativity towards others turns me away even more.

daphne -
Welcome to politics. You think Roberta’s wrong here?
Perhaps this is what you really wanted to say…
“Check out Bristol getting drunk. Guess that’s ok for 17 year olds!!!!!”
Would you like some more rope with your pitchfork?
Good Luck.

Janie: Please read some of the Republicans entries on this blog because they’re pretty disturbing.

My observations on this discussion:
Dems seem to want to distract the conversation away from the issues and towards the slime and filth that has permeated politics. Since this is in stark contrast to what Obama is preaching, I wonder why they would support someone who is in philosophical opposition to them?
Dems are continuing to used the Nazi theory of truth. Just keep repeating the same unfacts as truth, the reference said unfacts as if they are accepted truth. Why would anyone who believes in their positions on the issues need to employ such a tactic?
Dems only get away with their distortions and out-right lies because of a complicit media. Maybe a “fairness doctrine” is what we need to keep the liberal media from fixing elections.
For those liberal citing the investigation of Palin for trying to get a state trooper fired, if a NYC cop under Rudy Giuliani had tasered a 10 year old black child and refused to fire him, how would the media and liberals react?
Any objective perons looking at what liberals say, would fight like hell to keep them from controlling this country.

Pain has experience, Obama/Biden have speeches and “meet the press” appearances!!

http://www.governorpalin.blogspot.com

I have always been tired of the GOP using Religion and God to sway voters….it should simply be about the critical issues and the best leaders to build concensus and implement necessary change to help ALL Americans, not just the faithful. I thought it was hypocritical that Gov. Palin had her poor 17year old daughter holding the 4-month baby with a blanket covering her belly…if she was sooo proud, why were they hiding this? This is so obviously a tactic and it insults educated women like me who can see right thru this risky move. I wonder how the GOP and the media would react if it was a political family that happeed to be Hispanic or black? Would we see it as simply a “common mistake”?! or, would we call it another example of the lack of American values and a baby out of wedlock?!?
Clearly there is a double standard and hypocrisy…Again, it should be about the best candidates and focus on issues.

Huckabee himself is an ardent opponent to abortion rights.

Wow. Could you have phrased that in a way that betrays your bias more clearly? I would phrase it this way:
“Huckabee himself is an ardent defender of the rights of the unborn.”
Hmm… I guess you’re a “glass half empty” sort of person.

Nice, Pete. Just like so many of the evangelical crowd: intolerant, judgmental and the most un-christian like people one would ever meet. The only thing you people are good at is being hypocrites.

Hmmmm…now where is that article about Obama being partisan….hmmmmmm….you would think that since ABC found that note worthy in an also ran at the RNC they might point out similar statements from Obama at the DNC convention. But I’m not seeing it. Maybe the headine should be “Hack ABC reporter calls a politician a politician while failing to noice that Obama is a politician as well”.

What an excellent pick for VP by John McCain. Palin has more executive experienced that Obama’s team combined. This is the change that America needs.
It seems all the whacked out liberals are beside themselves with this pick. Their lies are already running rampant and their hypocrisy is deepening.
America is not the armpit of the world that liberals think it is. We don’t need a BO problem.

Pete: Lovely and crazy. Hey, I’m a Christian and an Obama supporter. Yes, the two go quite nicely together.
You want names to go with Your Party? Let’s see… Larry Craig (gay bathroom bust), Mark Foley (gay underage page troller) adulterers Newt Gingrich, Henry Hyde, Rudy Guilliani, John McCain. So why exactly are you pointing fingers and what do you have to defend in these guys, one of which is your current candidate?
The Dems aren’t trashing a 17 year old girl — no one has said anything bad about her. The discussion is valid as it relates to McCain’s quick and non-thorough vetting of a candidate and her platform … family values, yada yada.
Your party does not have the rights to family values and good morals. These are individual rights and those who wish to partake and participate are welcome no matter which party.
So stop the slinging and discuss the issues. Please.

Oh, okay then daphne. My apologies. I mistook you for the average neo-liberal Obama supporter frothing at the mouth…
I don’t know what came over me to have that sort of perception of neo-liberals. Yes, I think neo-conservatives are just as bad. The fact: neo-libs nor neo-cons are both embarassments. Both the Rethuglican and the Dimwit parties have lost any sense of reality. Below is a fantastic book showing the differences between the two parties these days….regardless of rhetoric.
Enjoy!
http://differencebetweendemocratsandrepublicans.com/

I read all of the comments. Republicans know that this was a very bad choice for VP. This woman had not been vetted and John McCain threw a temper tantrum as we all know he does and struck out at the party. This is different from his other tantrum in it is putting the citizens of the US at jeopardy. It’s incredible to hear them justify this insane outburst. Everyone knows that this is his first important decision and he leaves us(USA) being protected by yet another beauty queen in his life. 1st wife was a beauty queen, 2nd wife was a beauty queen with money, 3rd beauty queen is a “nut” with serious family issues that as a conservative should be concerned with. She could have easily rejected the offer with grace and appreciation by saying my family really need me at this time and they do. Palin rejected this offer also shows her lack of character, judgment and experience. Her ego could be larger than John McCain and she could be really dangerous.She could never be a role model for my daughters, grand daughters. By accepting she put her needs ahead of her family and the country. Republicans don’t be stupid, don’t support a dangerous temper tantrum. Vote Obama/Biden. John McCain is too old to take this risk. His judgment and temperment will not serve our country positively. We all know it. Let him have his convention. Walk around here proud and crazy. Have his debates. What’s driving him is not the welfare of this country. This is his dream, and he thinks he’s paid his dues and the country owes this to him. He’s a very sad hero.

Great job Huckabee.

WHUP-a$$.
Damn. Wish I was there.

How many times are the Obama folks going to come on blogs and question Gov. Palin’s experience,when he has no corresponding experience. You look foolish!
She is the GOP VP (!) candidate and she has more experience than the Democrats’ top candidate. That’s just a fact to any objective employer, let’s face it. The problem with Obama’s supporters is, they aren’t objective employers. They want us to hire someone they worship.
Believe me, I know that Obama is an empty suit; I’m a Clinton supporter.
Why can’t Obama’s supporters just give these amazing leaders, who happen to be female, their due?
For example, why does the Obama camp keep referring to her as a mayor? Why doesn’t he want to give her the respect she deserves as one of only 50 governors in the US?
Why all the gutter-ball politics? Why is DailyKos and other liberal bloggers spreading rumors about her children?
I love this line by Huck — that she won more votes for mayor than Biden won in two races at the WH!
I noticed that Biden introduced myself as the candidate running for President the other day.
Was Biden having a “senior” moment?
Or hasn’t anyuone told him yet that he’s only the VP on the ticket?
LOL!
Sarah Palin is a great addition to John McCain’s ticket.

Hey jon i dont know what the f you talk about the rock. You don’t say much of anything you only bhla bhla..you sound like an idiot.
why don’t you come under my rocks and smell the fragance. you’ll love it

Palin is as qualified as any of the other candidates in this race. The press, including ABC, is so busy trying to find anything to smear with — like she used pot as a teenager — that they forget that the other candidate used cocaine as a young adult. Alaska asked for earmarks? Some 85% of Alaska is actually federal land, and if the fed govt. is going to control that much land (approx size of California, Utah, Nevada and New Mexico combined), then they are responisble to pay for land, forestry, fishery and wildlife management on all that land. Some 80 to 90 percent of Alaskan earmarks are in fact for environmental and land management of federal owned land. Since Alaska entered the union, this has been the way that is paid for. The issue is stupid, it is not anything compared to Joe Bidens son receiving $120,000 payment for arranging an earmark from Sen Obama for (what appears to be) a seemingly good cause in Illinois. The connection of Sen Obama and Sen Biden through Biden’s son (and perhaps Biden’s brother) is very disturbing. This is mutual gratuitous greasing of each others self interests and shows that Obama/Biden are networked to together for base political and personal interests. It is time to put country first!!! To verify info just google Jim Biden and Hunter Biden and learn the tale of two federal lobbyists who are lobbying people who need the support of the chairman of two of the most powerful committees in Washington controlled by Biden. If you are a Senator from either party, and you need support from Biden, wouldn’t hiring Biden’s son seem to go along way toward impressing Sen Biden. The perception itself is manifest and unavoidable. where is the coverage of this abomination. Dem ticket’s motto ought to be “party and family over country everytime.”
