McCain chose Palin as his running mate.

  1. He plans to use her voice as a weapon of mass….something.  Probably assuming it’s so awful to listen to - that we won’t,  therefore she doesn’t need to say anything substantive.
  2. He really believes that a election-turning percentage…oh, say 9%… of Republican men vote with a portion of their anatomy other than the one with which they speak.
  3. Since the Democrats didn’t pick a woman, HE did.  Any one will do right?  Which would explain why he skipped over so many of the more qualified Republican women.  (Well…of course those QUALIFIED Republican women want to kill those poor babies…)
  4. It was the best way to lock in that valuable right-wing fundamentalist loon vote.  She ought to do it.
  5. You know that parent you hate from the PTA?  The one who’s always standing up to argue about something superficial when the meeting should be over?  The one who’s complaining about the trash out front while half the kids can’t read?  The one who wants “that book” taken off  the reading list?  The one who does her kid’s homework so it will look better than other kids’?  I think Palin is like that woman.  I guess John McCain thought we needed that parent at our big ole PTA meetin’ in Washington.  Oh wait…does he even KNOW what a PTA meeting IS?

Who compared herself to a pit bull anyway?  Pit bull…pig…what’s the difference…hell, pigs are smarter.
He wasn’t even talking about HER.  (It’s really NOT all about HER, and they can’t be that stupid…but they certainly think WE are.)
Does she not do interviews because she doesn’t cast a shadow or something?
Did they really think I’d vote for her just because she doesn’t have a penis?
Why won’t she stop referencing the “Bridge to Nowhere”….NO ONE is buying THAT one anymore.

I’ve been screaming at the radio today….may we burn them?  Metaphorically at least. (and yeah I understand that the Holy Grail scene isn’t really well-used here but…work with me)
Please vote for Obama/Biden..or help fund my stay in the insane asylum.  Thanks.

If you knew your 17-year-old unmarried daughter was pregnant, and was going to be limited by your personal views to the single option of having the child, would you accept a job offer that would then force her to deal with that NON-choice in front of the entire country?
I admire the Palins for walking the walk.  I don’t believe the unexpected pregnancies of Bristol (or her mother) have any bearing on Mrs. Palin’s qualifications to run the country.  But I think their decision to accept the VP spot, knowing that Bristol would have to deal with this media frenzy - that’s very questionable.
On the bright side…she may not have much experience, but at least we can be fairly certain that Mrs. Palin will be a better shot than Cheney.

[Update: oops…reading a little further…apparently Mrs. Palin doesn’t advocate the use of birth control at all, so I guess I can’t really suggest that these pregnancies were unexpected in any way]
