Gov. Sarah Palin is dividing the country. The airwaves are filled with those who can see past McCain's cheap ploy to get his campaign moving.
McCain put his desire to be President above the best interests of our country. He deserves to lose.
Aside from all the reasons Palin is a danger to the country because of her lack of qualifications remotely relevant to any high national office, from foreign policy to education to the economy to social security to health care, there's her record, her lack of a record, her ties to the radical right, her position on issues, her distortion of her record and the pending investigation into abuse of her office.
She has become so polarizing a figure that she's now a threat. The radical right is so excited that it might get a chance to direct the pick of our next Supreme Court justices, it cannot contain its glee. The rest of the country is terrified (except for a small number of women who think the race should still be about Hillary and sexism.)

The media is going to dig and dig. I hope they find something. I hope she withdraws from the ticket sooner than later.
Her novelty has worn off. She's becoming a joke, soon to be a cliche. My e-mail box is overflowing. People are waking up. Gov. Palin has done nothing to be awarded the honor of serving as the second highest official in the country.
McCain is vulnerable due to age and health issues. It's a fact, not ageism. Not every 72 year old is too old to serve, but the likelihood that this particular 72 year old might not finish out his term, whether from illness or death, is a plausible scenario.
People will begin to picture Palin as President -- trying to deal with the Pentagon, leaders of foreign countries, our economy. They will be furious with McCain that he would risk the welfare of the country by choosing Gov. Sarah Palin.
It's not going to happen....unless people stop speaking up and the radical right pours a lot more money into McCain's campaign to make more swift-boat ads.
Forget the Bush III line. Nobody cares. There's two camps now, and Sarah Palin is the dividing line. The fault lies with John McCain and his advisers who convinced him to try and pull a fast one.

And the Clintons didn’t divide and polarize the country.
DESPERATION ALERT!!!!!!!
Keep it up kids. Just shows you do not get why people are enthused (including John McCain) about Governor Palin.
Yeah, he is too old to serve. Oh wait, how old is his mother?
96?
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Palin is polarizing the country because she is making democrats question the BS that their leaders have been handling them for the last 25 years.
Liberals are happy only when no one debates them. Then, whoever does it is polarizing. I find Baraq O far more divisive than Palin.
I think someone needs change. Break open a new box of Pampers.
Palin has a proven track record as the powerful Governor of America's largest and weathiest (per capita income) state. Obama is a failed minor Illinois local politician and (briefly) US Senator with absolutely no record of achievement.
The very first sentence is the very first lie.
And what a lie!
The truth is almost precisely the opposite. Like no other candidate for high office I can remember, Sarah Palin is UNITING the country!
And that's exactly what has the Dims' cheese right off their crackers.
Not only is this sophmoric in substance (none) and style (screech) but once again highlights the basic fact that if Sarah Palin is unqualified to be the VP then how in the world can Obama be justified as the P? If Obama indeed was such a qualified candidate one would think the reasons would be fast and furious but it is all but forbidden to be a valid avenue of inquiry.
He is cohorts with convicted felon Tony Rezko, who preyed upon the poor and helpless as a notorious slumlord.
Then we have Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist who blew up the Pentagon with a home made explosive device. Ayers is another of Obama's close friends who has nothing but contempt and hatred for our Republic.
Jeremiah Wright is a hostile black racist whose organization promotes hatred and division in America. Obama maintained a close, personal relationship with this monster until the American people were made aware of the nasty ways of this so-called "church."
Why don't any of these "sophisticated" democrats ever acknowledge the clear and present danger and destruction that Obama's friends pose to the American way of life?
Why don't any of these "nuanced" authors from the left ever recognize that Obama is merely a street thug who calls everyone a racist if they don't vote for him?
Why don't any of these imbeciles ever realize that Obama has never held a real job a day in his life?
Why don't these buffoons understand that Obama's proposed tax increases will severely damage our economic prosperity?
Their lies, deceptions and other Obama-related BS will never be accepted by me.
One fabulous word: Misunderestimate.
Yes the airwaves are filled with MSM talkers who are completely at a loss in how to deal with and react to a REAL AMERICAN WOMAN!
The same old dis-proven lies again and again...the left is out of arguments and has become an irritating broken record. The desperation is reaching a shrill pitch already. I don't think the typical American voter is going to respond well to the incessant, mindless, mouth-frothing screeches of the far left for two long months.
Please. American voters are waking up to the fact that Obama is at best woefully inexperienced and ignorant and at worst a direct threat to their wallets, their security, their energy and their way of life. What people don't know yet about him is scary - if 30 "investigators" dug into his missing Columbia years, found the bums that hung out and snorted coke with him, and released the videos we're all waiting for in October, the landslide would be underway for McCain. I wonder how many millions in undocumented "Street Money" has been paid by Soros, MoveOn and other liberal bankroolers to silence critics, purchase videos and documents, and try to keep the Obama house of cards standing? Well, it's coming down - hard - in a few short months and I thank them for "stimulating the economy".
Governor Palin is more qualified than Barrack Hussein Obama.
