Gov. Palin went to Iraq with Sen. McCain. She shows up in this video of the trip at around 3:06 into the film clip.

She has a child only a few months old with Down Syndrome yet sheâ€™s going to spend the next few months travelling around the country campaigning. Talk about a lack of priorities. These Republicans talk about family values but they sure as hell donâ€™t live them. Shame on this egotistical woman.

Just keep on talking and you wil lose even more of your women democrats. You just hit a nerve that liberal women adhere to. And I think it interesting that someone who believes in the woman’s right to choose to kill her own child cannot choose to work or run for public office.

“Palin has been to Iraq as many times as antiwar Democrat Barack Obama.”

I’m sure you’re probably used to this kind of thing, but you could not be more wrong.

Palin has NEVER been to Iraq.

And don’t you just know how much those islamofascists HATE WOMEN…
Having them to have to face Sarah Palin warms my heart.

The more compelling question is:
Will Obama ” be able to face Putan?”

I hope dem’s keep going after Palin just the way that Jules is – he is arguing that no women with young children can ever be fit to serve in a public office.

How do you think mothers across this country are going to respond to the party that makes that argument?

The dem’s know that they just lost this election.

Most conservatives seem to have liked the choice, no? I like her. What disappoints me is that she has no economic background or foreign policy experience. What I am asking myself is if McCain dies, will she be able to face Putin (who let us be honest is brilliant and is a very effective leader), and al Qaeda? I hope so…

I don’t need to wait on Rasmussen to see the bump for McCain. 2 of my female friends, one who campaigned for Romney, one for Huckabee, were going to sit home in November. With the choice of Palin they are stoked and fully committed to the ticket.

Additionally, my wife who detests all things political called me from work to make sure I had heard the announcement. She was ecstatic.

A large portion of undecideds this election cycle have been conservatives without a candidate and women who supported Hillary. McCain will hit 50% now that Palin is by his side.

Thank you for that remark to Jules. You are right, it is over the line.

Sensible Americans will see this as a sign of respect for them and their values.

Jules,
At least she gave her children life.

Bresch,
Cheer up. By 2012, she will have enough “experience” to run for president. Maybe another Margaret Thatcher?

gwood:

“Her straightforward answers to questions, even hostile ones ,are refreshing, and in great contrast to the verbal dodge we get from Dem pols trying to hide what they really think or who they really are.”

Heh – that’s what I love about Republicans: let them talk long enough, and they shoot themselves in the foot.

Go read this interview McCain recently did with Time Magazine. Then, tell me which party’s politican are “trying to hide what they really think or who they really are”.

A short sample:

T: “In 2000, after the primaries, you went back to South Carolina to talk about what you felt was a mistake you had made on the Confederate flag. Is there anything so far about this campaign that you wish you could take back or you might revisit when it’s over?”
M: [Does not answer.]

T: Do I know you? [Says with a laugh.]
M: [Long pause.] I’m very happy with the way our campaign has been conducted, and I am very pleased and humbled to have the nomination of the Republican Party.

T: You do acknowledge there was a change in the campaign, in the way you had run the campaign?
M: [Shakes his head.]

Jules:

You should be ashamed of yourself. There are plenty of valid criticisms of her as a candidate or a politician, but to attack her as a bad mother for accepting the nomination is over the fucking line.

Her husband is in the Stellworkers Union, he is not some ad exec.
