mccain, who repeatedly pronounces that he 'puts country first', has exposed himself as just another cynical, calculating politician who will do anything to win..even if it means putting the country at risk.

if he were indeed putting 'country first' there is no way he would have chosen her.

for all his faults, at least romney knows something about business.
for all his faults, at least ridge knows something about securing the borders.
for all his faults, at least lieberman know something about how the federal govt. works, and can work across the aisle.

palin offers none of these things.

instead of choosing someone who could actually help the country in this difficult period, the GOP is about to nominate the mccain/gimmick ticket at their convention.

she has no foreign policy experience, and is even less knowledgeable on the economy than he is.

country first? hardly.
it's mccain's political ambition which is first....make no mistake.
