Maybe he was sick of the lack of media attention…maybe he had enough of the late night talk show hosts poking fun at his age…maybe he realized that belonging to a party that has been associated with rich, white men was not going to connect with voters in this historical election year. Or maybe he was just ready to take back some of the spotlight that has shined so brightly on Barack Obama and the Democrats since the beginning of the Democratic convention. Desperation can motivate people to make some pretty cynical and hypocritical decisions. Whatever the reason, John McCain’s Hail Mary-- in the form of Vice Presidential pick Governor Sarah Palin--sent a very clear message to America about how he views female voters. Women, he thinks, will vote another woman into office regardless of the candidate's values, experience and political positions.
No one can dispute that this decision was micro-targeted to the small percentage of Independent and Democratic women residing in the Rocky Mountain West, who strongly supported Hillary Clinton in the primary and still find themselves undecided as we move into the general election. Unfortunately, what John McCain failed to realize is that after eight long and destructive years of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and their cronies, American voters will not fall prey to political ploys once again.

Uh, Babs. You STILL believe everything the Clintons told you.........
The Dhims are so used to identity by sex and race that its completely escaped them that Palin’s true appeal is her strength of character and strong conservative values.
Babs is just an old hag that would be long forgotten if not for the adoration of gay men.
My eyes! Babs is wrong about herself, she’s as stupid as she is ugly.
Stupid? You can’t even spell her own name right. It’s B-a-r-b-a-r-a.
"My first wife, Barbra Streisand, became an icon, larger than life, and I had no understanding of why anybody would want to make themselves into something that isn’t real. Why would anybody want an identity that makes itself an illusion bigger than life? Nothing is bigger in life other than God. And none of us is God."
Barbra can we tawk here? Do you think you're Courtney Love with that outfit? We've all got shpilkes in our geneckteckessoink from the sag monsters. Again I'm a little verklempt. A little emotional, little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. The Progressive Era was neither progressive nor an era. Discuss! There I feel better. Who knew?
No, you’re stupider.
Ugh ... she’s smuggling in cheese wheels.
Dumb as a stump.
just came back from the rally in Washington Pa.
the energy in that stadium was beyond belief,
this truly all American woman is going to prove this old hag so terribly wrong.
Bush's Fault
BS, if McCain had chosen Tim Pawlenty, would you have campaigned for him?
I wonder who wrote this for her.
I enjoyed watching Barbra Streisand on the Ed Sullivan show in the 60’s. I also enjoyed watching the Russian bears on the unicycles. I value their political opinions about the same. I would give the edge to the bears though.
That’s some shnoz, who’s the pig?
Babs is starting to make Helen Thomas look hot.
Wrong, she spells her name as "Barbra".
