Interesting thread on the Hillary Clinton forum entitled:
Action Items: 1) Donate to McCain to affirm Palin pick; 2) Stay vigilant for all sexism against Palin
It gets better:
Donate to John McCain and Sarah Palin, and let them know you love this pick and are thrilled that McCain showed Palin the respect that Democrats, and Barack “You’re likable enough” Obama in particular, NEVER showed Hillary Clinton:
https://secure.johnmccain.com/Contribute/ContributeE.aspx
Show McCain, Palin and America that you support women in the executive branch!
There are already stunning, sexist attacks against Palin all over the kook blogosphere. Daily Kos is comparing her with Dan Quayle, implying that she is mere eye candy, likely kind of dim-witted, and totally disrespecting her and all women.
Palin was both a mayor and a governor of the largest state in America. And these pigs are just dismissing her as though she were some joke in glasses.
The only party that’s dissed a high-profile woman recently is the Democratic Party. What they did both in rigging the system so Hillary could not win the nomination and what Obama did in utterly disrespecting Hillary by not even vetting her for the VP was unconscionable. A disgrace.
Today, we have a ticket that respects women as equals and recognizing their full worth.
Please, donate to that ticket today and show America that you appreciate this historical McCain/Palin combination, and that you want to help bring America its first-ever female Vice President.
The glass ceiling is cracking. Let’s shatter it!
Comments on the thread pretty much show what many of us suspected. Obama made a huge, freakin HUGE mistake not even vetting Hillary. If Hillary had been chosen as the VP he would have become the next President…but his arrogance and ego wouldn’t let him.
And for that, I thank you Barack Obama:
I donated today, just a small $25. But I’ll order somethings from his store as soon as Palin has been added. It wasn’t as of 12:30 PM. Just waiting. It feels good to be excited about something worthwhile in this campaign again.
Don’t forget to write a comment to McCain, letting him know how much you appreciate his choice. When I did, I also added that I was looking forward to buying McCain/Palin gear.
The John McCain site seems a bit swamped today!
I was going to leave the link, but I cannot get onto the webpage. When you do get on, look for the “Contact Us” button at the bottom and send him an email.
PS. I donated $100, just before the site got swamped.
JOHN MCCAIN HAS DEFENDED HILLARY ALL THE WAY
AND TODAY SARAH APPLAUDED GERALDENE
AND HILLARY GOOD GREAT
I DONT REMEMBER THE DNC DOING THAT SHAME ON THE DNC
Yes, we need to watch her back. Those sexist pigs in the MSM and the DNC will come after Palin.
the expected sexism is already started. The Obamalots are so stupid . can’t they see that Palin is a bait ?. I think the McCain team expected all of this . The more the MSM talk about experience , the worse their sexism the worse the democrats look and finally the less they focus on McCain
Yes, its just a small slice of the Hillary fans and I understand the hardcore feminists will shy away from Palin because of her abortion views but those who are not so hardcore, who wanted Hillary to win, and are insulted by the way she was treated may very well come over to the McCain/Palin ticket.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estes_Kefauver#1952_election
In the 1952 presidential election... Although Kefauver would go on to win twelve of the fifteen primaries that were held that year, losing three to “favorite son” candidates, primaries were not, at that time, the main method of delegate selection for the national convention... received 3.1 million votes, while the eventual 1952 Democratic presidential nominee, Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson, received only 78,000 votes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estes_Kefauver#1956_election
... Stevenson, however, was able to defeat Kefauver in the 1956 Oregon, Florida and California primaries and, overall, ended up winning more primary votes than Kefauver in 1956, before being re-nominated for president by the Democrats at the 1956 Democratic Party’s national convention... Stevenson went on to lose the election to Eisenhower once again, this time by an even bigger margin than in 1952.
...On August 8, 1963, Kefauver, a heavy smoker and drinker... suffered a massive heart attack on the floor of the Senate while attempting to place an antitrust amendment into a NASA appropriations bill that would have required that companies benefitting financially from the outcome of research subsidized by NASA reimburse NASA for the cost of the research.
You and me both, FRiend!
Uuh, yes.
That’s as good as it gets.
Never thought I’d see the day, but we may be allying with those “energetic (and often brilliant) narcissistic lunatics” don’t insult them, Politics really does produce strange bedfellows:
Republican Est+ Conservatives (pragmatic enough to see that Palin is a good choice+ Obama is 100% worse than McCain)+ a few independents + PUMAS= Victory to defeat BO!
You are stronger than I am. I rarely go to DU. When I do, I do it for health reasons. Going on DU and staying at least 30 minutes and not dying from a heart attack or stroke, means I don't really need a stress test and having my blood pressure and heart checked by a real doctor.
Down Syndrome is no longer the total disaster that it used to be and some of the people born with it are leading fairly reasonable lives these days. It appears to hinge mainly on diet.
Drive the environazis and peta creeps crazy....
Google "barbarians for Palin" for the pic....
FAMOUS LAST WORDS:
“I am confident I will get her votes if I’m the nominee. It’s not clear she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee.” — Barack Obama, February 1, 2008
CNBC re-aired a Maria Bartiromo interview with Sarah Palin earlier tonight that was taped well before there was any inkling of her being on the ticket. Sarah was awesome in her knowledge and ability to present her thoughts. She has more experience in the energy arena than the other 3 people on the tickets combined. McCain needs to defer to her on domestic energy issues.
I was so worried McCain would blow the pick that I never even considered that he could pick such an extraordinary running mate. As my son said, “the ‘exciting’ candidate choose the most boring running mate possible, and the ‘boring’ candidate chose the most exciting candidate possible.”
That cannot be posted too many times.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that choosing Palin was the single most magnificent thing McCain could have done. It's a total shot in the arm to the Conservative movement. She's awesome! She's a Conservative. She's a MOM!!!
Black Racist Oblack was an idiot for not taking Hilary. Mav may be the first Repub to win the womens’ vote.
Pray for W and Our Troops
To clarify my meaning: the narcissistc lunatics are the leadership, the true Moonbats. There are a lot of people who follow, who are basically good people who don’t know better, who can be swayed. I sez, “Sway Away”.
Few things I want to say about PUMA:
(1) Welcome home
(2) Great video with U2 music
(3) Hilary Clinton proved to me she is one tough woman and ran circles around the empty suit Obama in every debate. Palin’s acknowledgment of Senator Clinton was recognition of that.
, meaning let’s sway them.
Fantastic!
I call Biden "Plugs". After I saw the interview with Obamassiah and "Plugs" concerning the pick of Sarah Palin, I am changing "Plugs'" nickname, and I think it fits to a "T". Ever hear some of the "mafia" style ( like on the Sopranos") nicknames, like Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri , and Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero ??
After watching "Plugs" who was standing behind the Obamassiah durring the interview,(and DID NOT SPEAK but finally nodded and smiles about 2/3 of the way through his answer to the reporter) his demeanor made me come up with his "New" nickname:
Plugs "The Babysitter" Biden
You lucky bastard! I would buy her all the beer she could drink!
18 million cracks in the highest glass ceiling from the impact of Hillary’s face.
I don’t care who you are...that’s funny! :D
A few days ago, I watched a couple of minutes of Palin answer a reporter questions on a youtube clip, and from this interview, I came to the conclusion she could out debate Biden or Obama. It was obvious she can handle herself.
