Funny, Chrissy… when she was on stage being introduced as McCains running partner I thought no one knew about the big secret, so HOW, may I ask, could she have been maligned for not having her daughter’s BOYFRIEND on stage with her???

Btw, I’m not a Democrat. But I’m no longer a Republican, either.

(Chris Crocker)Leave Sarah Alooooooooooone!(/Chris Crocker)

Amazing how quick the Republicans are to cry foul when their front woman’s veneer is worn down by legitimate public scrutiny. Especially when you consider how vindictive and chauvinistic both parties were towards Hilary. I guess the Republicans never thought Hill would fight as hard, or make it as far as she did – and seeing her come within spitting distance of the White House, they decided to change their tune and ride the wave of female empowerment.

And now they are shocked that the public is holding Sarah to the same standards that their party preaches. They blame the Democrats for double standards and rampant misogyny, when it is clear Palin talks out of two sides of her mouth. Love, love, LOVE the irony.

For the record – if there wasn’t so much at stake, I’d love Hilary to run on the Independent ticket. It would give strength and validity to the third party our country desperately needs. But with Palin on the ticket and 3 Supreme Court seats to fill, it’s time for the Dems to unite and to go to the mattresses.

@ Chrissy

LOL from what I’m hearing already and after reading the post ahead of me no she’s not going to win with me. Nothing wrong with picking a female VP just pick one that is viable and credible for the job. The lady is already under investigation when McCain picked her now the flood gates are opened. I know the Republicans (atleast I hope) have women who could have filled this post.

Chrissy – if you’d prefer we can concentrate instead on her political life, which reads like a dirty dimestore novel. Former member of the Alaskan secessionist movement? Check. Left extremely small town of which she used to be mayor $20 million in debt? Check. Sued the federal government to have polar bears removed from the endangered species list? Check. Current subject of an ethics violation investigation? Check. You should be thanking your lucky Republican stars that people are concentrating on her personal life right now as opposed to actually learning about how terrible a VP choice she is. It’s only a matter of time, though – it will all come out before long.

Diva,

Everyone has pulled Palin apart for every move she has made. People were critical of her for NOT having him on the stage with her when McCain announced her as his running mate. Just admit it … she can’t win with you no matter what she does. You and the other Dems will continue to put her down regardless … and keep going after personal life. Please. It is why McCain will win in November. B/c this kind of dirty politics is what turns off “middle America” faster than anything else. Which party is saying that a woman should be staying home and taking care of her family? Which party is critical of a candidate who DARED to not attend an Ivy League school? This kind of shit is why it is so easy to paint the Dems as elitist who just don’t get it. This has gotten me so fired up about this ticket. I didn’t care for McCain … I’m a conservative who supported Fred Thompson. But seeing the hypocrisy of the Democrats – tearing a woman down b/c she isn’t at home tending to her children – wow. Unbelievable.

OK… I read this evening that they’re bringing this Levi kid out on the campaign trail with her. WTF????

Tell me this isn’t self serving bullshit!

Respect their privacy, but “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I’M DRAGGING THE WHOLE CIRCUS ON THE ROAD!”

This is all so unbefreakinlievable.

I was a bit confused with the whole teen pregnancy rise/decline until I realized that according to all the stats teen pregnancy IS on the decline but the number of teens who get pregnant and choose to go full term and give birth is what’s on the rise. Two very different things.
Interesting.

Agree w/ Dante – tapping into those Alaskan oil field reserves has been a goal for the Republicans for many years.

For my money, Palin is a quintessential Republican – read: sociopath. If she practiced what the Republican party has been preaching for so many years about the woman’s place being in the home, she’d be at home tending to her own family instead of leaving her pregnant 17-year-old daughter and fragile infant son to the care of others. Absolute blatant and shameless hypocrisy.
