No one said anything when Barak's mother conceived him at the age of 17 and out of wedlock.

I agree that family ought to be off-limits, but we know in politics it will be used. Also (gasp!) she apparently was an atheist.

Yep, that church vid is the regular kind of smear issued by the Huff'n'Puff Post.
If she is not VP, it will be because she will withdraw for family or personal reasons. The Dems hate her because she comes across as too clear and clean, and she's not a bulldog like Hilly.

You're right, Atta. The Reps are too polite to do smears like that. But, who wants a bastard for prez?

I haven't come across any reports or speculation that Palin will not be VP. No reports of her stepping down or being replaced. It sounds like she solid.

IMO, the Repubs are far more brutal, organized, and calculating when it comes to smearing, than the Demos.

^
remember the "borking" of robert Bork?

Quote:

in 1987 when Sen. Kennedy raced to the Senate floor to bellow that "Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, children could not be taught about evolution."

And then Clarence Thomas:

"We're going to bork him."

Palin is a real Murphy Brown and not some Hollywood character that everyone looked up to as if she was real. The Left can't stand that she is not one of them.

Well the crook Agnew actually was VP before being exposed...

eagleton.

i don't think she'll quit, but i think we can all agree by this point the mccain camp is wishing they actually did a thorough vetting.

i can't wait to see what turns up next.

i didn't realize that obama's mother was running for vice president and had spent years forcing 'abstinence only' policies on americans.

needless to say, it's quite ironic that you can't see the hypocrisy.

used her line item veto to slash funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers in need of a place to live.

THIS is what's most troubling....of course it's amusing to watch them fall all over themselves, but what's become clear is that mccain is simply not fit to govern.

raycarey · 03-09-2008, 03:02 PM

btw, where is sarah palin hiding these days?

after her big roll out, we haven't seen hide nor hair of her since.....i hope she's not crying in a corner somewhere.

honestly, has anyone seen live footage of her in the last two days?

Accidental Ajarn · 03-09-2008, 03:47 PM

Ok Triva buffs, who was MCGoverns choice and confirmed at the convention. Was it the same as who ended up on the ticket in Novemeber?

God I am old, I actually remember the role call vote as I watched on TV.

howard baker on how to select an 'unknown' for VP.....

Quote:

“The best way to handle a proposed vice presidential nominee who has not been tested in national or big-state politics or high appointive office—and I have the obvious benefit of hindsight—is to float the name a few weeks before the convention and let the games begin. By opening gavel, the candidate will have run the gauntlet of press scrutiny or opposition research, or have dropped out. This approach wouldn’t necessarily work in a contested convention, and, unfortunately, it eliminates the drama of dropping the name at the convention. But it would pretty well guarantee that the news from the convention would not be dominated by questions about the vice presidential selection.”

i guess that's another book mccain didn't read.....in case you've forgotten mccain graduated 894th out of 899.
