One should always check to see if the boss is a RINO, labeled by the media as a maverick. If so, make sure that you, the candidate, is allowed to keep your own political philosophy.

The only thing good thing McCain did during the general election was pick Palin.

I’ll take a conservative with a pregnant teenager over an America-hating Socialist criminal any day of the week.

Guess that means I shouldn’t work in the HR department. lol

Am damned sick and tired of it.

I think McCain staffers made the understandable mistake that the liberal media would be more “tolerant” of teenage pregnancy, since they’re constantly telling us conservatives to be so.

McCain and his team were pretty much incompetent when it came to tactics, strategy, preparation and funding ... but he managed to hit one over the fence with Palin.

Exactly - what background investigations were done and covered up on the Left side? We’ll never hear about those yet the MSM will be hyperventilating about the Palins for years.

The only part of Governor Palin that the McCain camp neglected was the obvious fact that she’s tougher, more charismatic and WAY more conservative than her almost boss.

The lesson here is for Sarah Palin: You’re a first stringer who tried to play second fiddle to a third stringer. Next time, be the starter.

I give this story a big WGAFF — These F**knuts want to talk about vetting and they let Obama in the room.... They are just plain scared sh*tless of the Palin factor and what it could do to them in 2010 and 2012 that they are trying anything to discredit her in the eyes of her base as well as the “emotional” voters out there.... this crap isn’t even worth toliet paper .............

Absolutely that is the question! The hypocrisy of the left borders on the insane.

Why did you feel a need to post a story from September 8th about a subject that matters much less today than it did back when it surfaced?

IIRC, it was no secret in Wasilla. I would assume McCain had this information.

0-Bamster can do crack, coke, whatever, not be an American citizen, have ties to anti-American terrorists, etc. etc. etc. and yet the media has the “Audacity” to criticize McCain’s background check? Laughable. Almost as laughable as the campaign McCain ran.

For the record, Palin didn’t drag McCain down; McCain buried himself well before he actually made a good decision and chose Palin.

Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant, plans to keep the baby and marry the child’s 18-year-old father.

But if she had been like a good liberal and killed the child, it wouldn't be an issue. It makes me sick how many girls kill their children so that they get to keep acting like good girls.

Where’s the article about checking whether a presidential nominee was actually born in the US as he claims?
