Well no wonder she's cross-eyed. That big schnoz gets in the way.

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.

The Democrat criticism of Palin reminds me of another Alaskan: Jewel Kilcher, and those who criticized her.
Jewel made it big as a singer at the age of 19, and then wrote a book of poetry. Professional poets hated it and sneered at her because it was not like their angst-ridden, unpleasant, politically leftist and generally nasty poems that they think are the only correct form of poetry.
Instead, she wrote from the heart on things that teenage girls care about and like. And every teenage girl who read her book of poems thought it spoke to them, and they loved it. And they bought her book of poems. And there are a LOT of teenage girls out there, of all ages.
So Jewel probably sold more of her book of heartfelt poems than every professional poet in the US combined that year. And her poems will likely survive far longer and be shared among teenage girls for many years to come, when the works of the professional poets have long been forgotten.
And the Democrats are much like the professional poets. Bitter and resentful that a successful career mother and politician, who believes in traditional American values, is off and running, and will likely whup them politically and be around for many more years.
And no matter how leftist, or hate-filled, or greedy for power that Democrats are, this Alaskan woman who speaks from the heart is going to glide right over their nasty lies, empty promises, class warfare, racism and all the other evils they can muster.
But Babs McCain did not say anything for you to behave yourself in this manner. He chose his running mate. Be proud of it and stop listening to liberals you’ll live longer.
Leni
To compare Babs to a bag of rocks is insulting to the rocks!
Barbra wahhhhhhhh
Stop insulting the women with brains.
We are thinkers and problem solvers, we analyze and
and determine on our own what we deem is right.
Those that cannot think for themselves listen to
people like you and Oprah.
Now who is stupid?
You are right ...most of us women are just not that dumb.
Go play in your houses that you donated to the state run Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy to get a tax break but still live in. Now tell me how concerned you are about the welfare of the masses.
Where’s her field jacket and mongrel dog?
No Barbra, women are not that stupid. You on the other hand.......
“The Point Dumas Horror”
You know, Bar, sometimes you just make it too easy...
Babs... You’re no Sarah Palin... No one cares what you have to say. Micheal Moore is waiting for you to arrive early for tonight’s drunken orgy to watch Obama’s DNC Convention speech again.
GADDAMIT Brolin, Were the f#ck is my ointment?
Ignoring the entire false premise her prepared post is built on, where was all of the outrage from the democrats when women were actively admitting as to why they were voting for Hillary? Shouldn’t Babs have told them to their face that they were stupid?
