McCain thinks he can just throw any woman out there and we will vote for her. We are not that stupid and the women voters should be outraged over this.

McCain has once again demonstrated the danger he is willing to put our country in with his shoot from the hip style. This was an impulsive decision that eliminates the experience issue as a legitimate question. Add in his age factor and his actions are really troubling. I am just a bit younger than McCain and I know firsthand how I have come to know that I am not as well off health wise as I was a short while ago.

Just putting a woman on the ticket doesn't do a thing for me. I know a whole lot of women who are smarter than me and I know a whole lot of women who aren't as smart as me. Just like the guys. I was an avid Hillary supporter but I realized in late spring that the American people were choosing Barack Obama over her and I did not take my ball and glove and go home. Our country is too important to all of us to risk putting us in the hands of a puppet of the oil crooks from Alaska.

This just goes to show McCain's poor judgement.

The nerve of him to say Obama has no experience and is too young and he goes out and picks this young woman with very little experience and is even younger than Obama.

Does he think women are so stupid that they would vote for just any woman? Apparently so!!

Alaskan politicians are a strange bunch. Ernest Gruenning, Ted Stevens, Mike Gravel and Wally Hickle. Contrary, go against the grain, outspoken, ornery. And untimately failures, not necessarily in their private lives, but certainly in their political ones.

Ms. Palin should take a lesson from these folks. But she won't. She will charge ahead, full of "Last Frontier" bravada, winning votes from the disenfranchised gun-toters and would be liberterians, disguised as 'Conservative Republicans'. Mainstream GOP'ers are even now, holding their head in their hands and questioning again the judgement of the man they will be stuck with as their candidate.

For such a nice guy, McCain is sure stupid.

A QUESTION FOR LIBERALS

IF, you are TRULY concerned about Sarah Palin's "lack of experience"
because she is only a ONE-TERM GOVERNOR,

does this mean you will be voting for McCain, who has way more experience
than ONE-TERM SENATOR Obama ???

If not, please explain your hypocrisy

I have never in my life voted for a Republican, but I will be this November.

Obama puts himself first before the country
And that spectacle of his acceptance speech last night with the columns and lights
in the dead of night eeriely reminded me way too much of Adolf Hitler at the Reichstag.
The rah, rahs, could have easily been Seig Heil, Seig Heil

It was disgusting, I may never vote democrat again

I love the pick. Mother of 5 fights the corrupt folks in her OWN PARTY, wins, takes on the corrupt incumbent Governor, wins then takes on the OIL companies, wins. Son going to Iraq lives her convictions. Best political move I have ever seen. Brilliant.

You don't speak for all women.Some of us actually see what she brings to the table. I'm not outraged at all. I'm very excited.

What outrages me is that Americans are suppose to prove how un-racists we are by voting for the very racists obama and his America hating wife.

Tht is not true, Obama has not once shown or acted racist and neither has his wife.

A lot of people just want an excuse not to vote for a black man and that just shows how racist they are.

Sitting in a racist filled Church for 20 years agreeing with the message is far more racist than people who choose to not vote for your black candidate. Being ashamed of your Country until it glorifies your family or race is not an honorable nor uniting quality imo.

You totally prove that he is nothing more than a black man being used to guilt this Country into proving how 'enlightened' and non racist we are by electing him. Most of us outgrew that crap when our first boyfriends demanded we prove we love them....

We were suppose to elect Hillary also to prove we were past the 'women in the kitchen' mentality.

Guess what, I vote for the person who has the same values and desires for my Country as I do. Not because I have to prove something to the world.

Well said Free. Ms. Palin certainly got me interested in the race again and gave one hell of an acceptance speech.

Thanks Free. I've been pretty busy but have kept up with several threads and you seem to say what I would have posted anyway - LOL.

I feel that same "spark" and look forward to hearing more about Ms. Palin.

Some family values Mrs. Palin has! Leaving her family, including a five month old baby with Downs Syndrome, to campaign 24/7 for over two months. Then, if the unlikely happens and she wins, her small children will be lucky to only see Mom kiss them good-night. She might had said, "Thanks, but this is not the best time in my life to accept this honor. I am sure you can find someone more experienced and unencumbered then I am right now!"

Sarah Palin is a great VP candidate.
- She's a pot smoker from way back.
- She's a feminist.
- She voted to give equal rights to gays in the workplace.
- She has 5 kids and since both she and her husband work full time, nobody is at home to raise them. So much for family values.
- The gays are calling her their Diva -- she's apparently quite gay friendly

She's far more like a liberal dem than the dems themselves. No wonder they think she'll take all those Hillary votes away from Obama.

Is there a law that says she can't take her baby with her?

As for the kids only seeing mom to kiss good night that's just stoopid.

If NeoCommmie left-wingnuts like the above ignorant letter want Palin to withdraw !?!?!
then obviously McCain made a good choice if liberal Marxist/Leninists are that afraid of her
