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 Youre 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 thats 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. Lets 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 wouldnt let him.
And for that, I thank you Barack Obama:
I donated today, just a small $25. But Ill order somethings from his store as soon as Palin has been added. It wasnt as of 12:30 PM. Just waiting. It feels good to be excited about something worthwhile in this campaign again.
Dont 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 . cant 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.
My first vote was for Reagan. I'm 4 years older than Palin and am ecstatic over McCain's VP choice.
I was overjoyed he picked a conservative. Gender didn't even come into my thoughts.
Conservatives are truly the party without labels. Ideology is what matters. All people that love freedom need to get behind this ticket.
There were already quiet a few democrats that I knew that were voting for McCain. And almost all would have voted for Hillary. They just don’t think Obama has the experience and a plan to be president.
Today, a lot of those folks (including many democratic women) were estatic about McCain and Palin. My work place was buzzing all day today. By McCain announcing at noon, it got a lot of play in the halls across the workplaces of America. I guess Obama got some buzz from those up at 3am last Saturday!
As conservatives, we can work to create Palin Democrats just as we created Reagan Democrats in the late 1970s. Those disaffected Hillary voters are a base to start with. We’re back in the game.
Spaceship?I love it.LOL
Hilary Clinton proved to me she is one tough woman and ran circles around the empty suit Obama in every debate. Palins acknowledgment of Senator Clinton was recognition of that.
btt
After watching the VP announcement, all I can say is wow.
Palin is impressive.
What a life story. Such real people.
McCain you did great today! Happy birthday !
Yes.
You’ll be happy to know that today after hearing the news I rushed to WalMart and bought some of that window paint for car windows and proudly wrote on the back glass of my SUV McCain/Palin ‘08 “You go girl”
I couldn’t wait for the sticker.LOL

[snip] “I thought, ‘Get over yourself!’ I had literally written out a check to the Obama campaign. And then I saw him in front of an evangelical group in Anaheim,” he said. Before Rick Warren at the Saddleback Civil Forum, both Obama and McCain defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. “I thought, ‘Wow! He just threw the gay community under the bus,’ “ Colichman said. “My partner looked over at me, and we tore up the check.” [end]

In some peoples eyes she is......she is the future of the conservative movement.
Thank you! That’s exactly it.
When Sarah praised Geraldine and Hillary, the Dems musta regressed into a fetal position.
Wait till Sarah does a PR blitz-—and actually meets w/ G and H——Obama and the Dems will be sucking-up valium and vodka and assorted mind-bending aids like it was 2000-2004 all over again.
Now, maybe she can tell *convince* McCain to DUMP Juan Hernandez.
Good idea:
Send a message to GOV SARAH PALIN:
c/o Republican National Committee
310 First Street, SE
Washington, D.C. 20003
EMAIL Chairman@gop.com
TELE 202-863-8700
FAX: 202-863-8820
I heard some pundit say the Palin pick was nice “but nobody goes to the polls just to vote for the vice president.”
I said, “Oh, yeah? Watch me.”
Has anyone found out yet what Sarah thinks of the AMNESTY Bill etc ????
Any comment last year ????
You're right.
