Good grief.
The lesson of the last election is that you can become President of the United States without being vetted by your own party. Why on God's green earth would anyone be concerned about a pregnant teenager?
The lesson of this article is that the Dems are afraid of Sarah Palin, very afraid. If, as is likely, Obama screws up badly in the next four years he will find good old Sarah standing at his door asking him to hand over the keys to the White House. You can expect the MSM campaign to counter this possibility to continue non-stop right through November 2012.

I honestly don’t know much about the author. That said, even a blind pig finds an acorn.
My reason for posting this is in part to remind everybody a background check should always be conducted on anyone holding elective office.
Lets make sure that happens next time around.

I completely agree the Democrats are in fact terrified of Sarah Palin.
To those of us that paid attention in 2004, Obama stood out in exactly the same way Palin is doing today.
I noted Obama would be a serious contender for the 2008 DNC nomination at Liberty Post back then.
Got quite a few scornful remarks to that prediction.
Well, here we are.

Not Chuck Norris. I like and admire the guy...but come on. This is serious, and Chuck won’t be taken seriously as a nominee.

Agreed. Why was this considered a big deal anyway? As if Palin's vice presidency would be tainted by an unwed daughter who chose to do the right thing? Let's see, they went after Palin for her family, for her stance against a psychotic, violent state trooper, for daring to have the chutzpah to actually hunt meat for the freezer, for her "lack of experience" as governor of a major state, for being a woman who could not possibly fulfill the obligations of the job with children, and for her northern accent and phrases. Oh, and for winking. Caribou Barbie, that's what they said. CNN lists her alongside Blago and other disgraced politicians. They even filmed her interview at a turkey processing farm, being sure to show a turkey being killed in the background. Oh, the horror.
They may have even convinced the GOP that Palin is now too "damaged" by this nonstop media rape to be a viable candidate in the future.
Sarah, if you ever read this, maybe it's best if you get to stay in the clean air and relative innocence of Alaska and enjoy your family life. You're too good to be dragged through the cesspool of Washington DC and the media. But if you have thick skin and are willing to bear the unfair trashing of you and your family, I'll vote for you.

Obama is more qualified somehow?

Hell no Obama isn’t more qualified. Thats stunningly obvious to anyone remotely objective.

Right...
McCain wanted Lieberman. I'm sure Joementum would have passed a background check, but how would it have gone over with the voters?

I voted for Sarah. Despise McC and always have.
That he would befriend Kerry, knowing what he did to the enlisted men and women of Viet Nam is unforgivable in my mind.

Palin was the ONLY reason that I sent money to the castroti party. She is the only motivation that I even had to vote.

Let’s see, the Left claimed that Sarah Palin’s most recent child was REALLY her daughter’s baby.
And they are wondering if McCain’s team didn’t vet him well enough?
Kerry’s campaign didn’t vet the VP choice for ADULTERY.

I can only say had Lieberman been on the ticket, I wouldn’t have held my nose and voted for McCain last November.
That done, I’ll never vote for another moderate gasbag RINO again in my lifetime.

Did Bristol Palin do anything that’s worse than what Obama openly admits to in his autobiography?
Or - what he won’t admit to in Chicago?
Another non-news article.

‘Kerrys campaign didnt vet the VP choice for ADULTERY.’
They didn’t have too, they knew all about it. So did most of the MSM.
