10 Reasons Sarah Palin Freaks Out Democrats
1. Smoking hot. Sweet Lord, babe in a biscuit hot.
2. Knows how to bait a lure -- Hello Wal-Mart voters!
3. Knows how to shoot a moose -- Hello Wal-Mart voters!
4. Knows how to shop for 5 kids -- Hello Wal-Mart! (Goodbye Whole Foods & arugula)
5. Although 2 years as governor of Alaska ain't much, compare it to 143 days actually served in the Senate. I'm just sayin'...
6. Chose to keep a baby she knew would be special needs. It seems to me that's REALLY pro-choice.
7. Would kill Joe Biden in a snowmobile race. Speed, ice, and hair plugs don't mix
8. She and her husband are union members - Goodbye Wal-Mart!
9. Mayor of a small town, but not bitter or clinging. Maybe clinging...see #3
10. Will cause millions of previously reticent Republicans to now donate and enthusiastically vote. Did I mention smoking hot?

McCain apparently thinks she's "smoking hot" too. Check this out:

You forgot the most import:
She's the veep for a man who was a POW for 5/12 years.
Dear Dan,
She's not hot. She walks by me at the grocery store, I'm going to glance at her and resume reading ingredients on the product.
Dan. Elevate your expectations.
Yeah, but I bet you would drop that ingredient list quick if some dude cruised by, wouldn't you ? Elevate your expectations indeed.
It's Ron (not Dan),
Like Craig Ferguson said on his show, she looks like the "naughty librarian.
Cheers!
Wow!!!
so, let me get this straight, the reason we should vote for McCain is because his running mate is hot????
ouuccch! talk about taking the woman's movement back 100 years!
In any event, if this election is going to be decided on who is "hot" or not....the
My girlfriends will take Obama any day over the "Naughty Librarian" (and BTW using late night shows as your talking points is a clear indication of why this country needs to invest in public education.
Funny column.
Yep, No.10 freaks out the Democrats.
Everyone on the Left is hystericaly angry at how inexperienced and unelectable Sarah Palin is. Why the anger? Lefties should be celebrating and dancing in the streets.
Could it be that you guys know she has about the same experience as Obama and will be much more popular than Joe Biden?
McCain has run a lackluster campaign and many Conservatives have been apathetical about his election. That has now changed. McCain would have a very hard time picking a better running mate for this election. Giuliani, Romney, Ridge and Huckabee..
Palin will not cost McCain one single Conservative vote and will likely bring in some independents and even a few Hillary supporters. Time will tell how many. I believe it's enough to make Dems and Liberal columnists and pundits nervous.
But it doesn't. We see it for what it actually is: A hail-mary pass of desperation on McCane's part. A telegenic prop to put up as younger eye candy to counterpoint McCane's confused and doddering morbidity. This will work on some Rpblcns who vote against their own interests as soon as their favorite pundit or politician jiggles the keys to distract them. We see it's working here.
I'm a dem and I'm SO not angry. I celebrate this pick. this could not be better for us.
Anyone who truly supported Hillary's platform will NOT vote for this woman--they are opposites.
Except for the fact that they both have boobs and uteri, they could not be more different.
anyone who cares for animals will not vote for this woman (polar bears and wolves).
She's being investigated for abuse of power right now, that will cost some votes.
She thinks creationism should be taught in schools, that will cost some votes.
Lots of people who are racist are also sexist--yeah, I know a few. this WILL cost mcsame some votes, sorry--I know of a couple here in Ohio that he lost yesterday.
SOS
THINK FOR YOURSELF DITTO HEAD,
she will not bring in independents she will bring in Extremist. She voted for Pat ( I love AHitler ) Buchanan, that pick may cost McCanE Florida and NH; that is, unless she is willing to throw Pat under the bus and renounce her and his extreme idealogy.
The Dems will not hammer her lack of experience, they will highlight her EXTREME IDEALOGY and then link it to G W Bush. This pick is DOA
Alaska has two Republican Parties, you can't get more Red than Alaska. The Democrats in Alaska are a Third Party
I wonder when I hear a man degrade women, or when I hear about some mad societal rabid dog that has abused or hurt a woman, how these men can do this and make any claim of having a loving relationship with anybody female.
I always have a feeling that is best described at disgust and surrogate shame. Disgust is a description because any thought process that minimizes or debases another human being to sex object, patsy to be manipulated due to inferior intellect and hair-trigger emotions, or as weak target, is at least disgusting. Surrogate shame is an invented phrase meant to suggest that if such men do not have any shame I have shame for them. Not because I share their views but because I share their gender and I am ashamed for all males when another publicly degrades my male position of chivalry, respect, and reverence for the females of the human species.
I felt disgust and surrogate shame after learning of the choice of Sarah Palin as the vice president pick of John McCain. I felt disgust because I would not want my mother to be used as a pawn to advance some male agenda that is historically dismissive of her as an equal worthy of respect. I felt surrogate shame because, yet again, men of the GOP are showing they have no respect for women, and continue to see them as object to be preyed upon, manipulated, and abused intellectually.
Thank you, GrainOSand.
They said on CNN that Sarah Palin is Pro-Life AND Pro-Gun. Could someone explain to me how a person could be pro-life and pro-gun??? And if someone is pro-life, why is it they turn a blind eye to the fact that their own government's foreign policies are allowing children to be killed in Iraq, Darfur etc.??? Republicans are also always tooting about less government then why are they in the personal lives of people regarding abortion and gay/lesbian issues. Seems to me that they are completely contradicting their idea of government not meddling in the personal lives of its citizens!
I just do not understand what republicans are all about!!!
truthpls you need to really diversify your associations! I thought you far lefties liked diversity and were "tolerant" of other ideas and all that baloney.
1. Pro-Life and Pro-Gun: we should protect innocent life whenever possible and that includes in the womb. Guns are overwhelmingly used to defend people and not illegally kill them. Being pro-gun doesn't mean you are pro-killing anymore than being pro-car means you are pro drunk driving.
2. Government policies that kill children: our government does not target innocent children for death. In war zones such as Iraq, children (and other innocent people) get killed but are not the target. Simply because innocent people will be killed is not a sufficient reason to never go to war. As far as places such as Darfur, we cannot solve all of the world's problems and have to pick and choose where we apply our might in the interests of our country.
3. Small Government: conservatives do want small government and personal decisions to be made by individuals not the government. Regarding abortions, conservatives want to take into account the "other" individual in the decision. That person's right to live and make decisions is the same as the person carrying the child. As far as gay issues are concerned, most conservatives would say whatever you want to do in your bedroom you can do, just don't force me to accept your lifestyle.
'and all that baloney' typical talk from a right-winger. I get my news from many different sources thank you very much because I know for a FACT that mainstream media DO NOT tell us the WHOLE STORY!!! Questioning the powers that be and being critical of one's government is a democratic right that keeps governments on their toes so they do not become corrupt.
The facts are we have chosen to go to Iraq on WMDs that were not there, so the story went on to say we took out Saddam BUT ask the average Iraqi and some want Saddam back! If our mission is not oil then why aren't we 'liberating' other places??. AND liberating one's country should be kept to the people of that country -they will in their own time go through civil war or revolution just like many countries before them did in history. At the RNC, I kept hearing speakers talk about winning the war- the only people that win in Iraq is Blackwater, Halliburton etc. The ones that lost are over 4,000 troops and over 20,000 wounded troops, and an estimated 100,000 dead Iraqis.
Also, if you are going to be so adamant about saving the life of an unborn child, then one should also be equally adamant against any poltical or military actions that harm innocent human life!!! The words 'collateral damage' are offensive because it desensitizes the reality of war deaths. That's just my opinion!
I know the Obamatrons live in a alternative universe. I've witnessed it myself as I watched them wring themselves into all sorts of contortions just THINKING about what Hillary and Bill would say the convention. Needless to say, all that hand-wringing was for naught. But it showed me that they don't pay attention to stuff outside their computer rooms. If you venture out into the real world, you will know that a vast majority of Americans are concerned with Obama's lack of experience. They see less than two years in the U.S. Senate---of which half were away campaigning---and they are nervous about him. YOU may think that his 8 years in the Illinois Senate and his 10 years as an activist mean something, but I'm telling you that the average American vote does not. I don't think many of Hillary's disappointed backers will vote for McCain because of Palin. As one of those dsisappointed, my argument is with the DNC who gave this nomination to Obama unfairly. McCain's choice of Palin doesn't address that issue. And lastly, this pick by McCain has energized the republican base because she's a conservative with bonafides. She took on corruption, she's pro-life, she's pro-gun, and she's against gay marriage. With two years as Governor of Alaska, she has executive experience. Americans understand that.
"If you venture out into the real world, you will know that a vast majority of Americans are concerned with Obama's lack of experience
I wonder if the citizenry in 1861 felt that way about Lincoln.
http://www
The above linked article does not flatter Obama but rather makes the case that experience can be a misnomer concerning readiness to lead. It states that Lincoln made mistakes but the intangibles (those things that do not shake out in a presidential campaign) won the day for him and more importantly for America. Mr. Obama is afforded the written history of Lincoln and the many years and changes that create the distance between then and now. No one can know for sure how he or she will respond in a crisis, but Mr. Obama's demeanor provides a clue. At every point where lesser people would have lost it during this campaign (myself included) he has shown calmness and a clear head that speak to the right temperament and judgment to be president.
He has already transformed America, so win or lose he has already brought change to America. It would be nice to see him implement a full agenda based on positive change and realistic hope, but I have no faith in Bush people waking up, American apathy disappearing, or American delusion dissipating.
I will patiently wait the outcome and accept the results. I hope all of America will be able to do that.
Hey Cindy,
You're wrong.
...and for those reasons, that's why the vast majority of women and most Americans still won't vote for McCane. She's a prop-standee bone throne to the religious right who have deluded themselves into thinking they have taken over your party. The "hand-wringing" you speak of was a concoction of the Corporate Media which sees added profit in every controversy they foment, real or imagined. Many of Hill's disappointed voters are going to vote for 0bama right now, and what more impetus for them to want to, then to get a load of Palin. Wow, you are one seriously confused Rpblicn.

"my argument is with the DNC who gave this nomination to Obama unfairly"
What alternative unvierse are YOU in? Obama EARNED the nomination, he WON the nomination fair and square, and his experience is pretty similar to Lincoln's, who turned out to be one of our best presidents. And as for experience, who had more experience than Cheney and Rumsfeld? It's hard to think of worse results than theirs. Frankly, I can't. And if running a presidential campaign is a test of executive ability, Obama showed amazing ability that Hillary didn't.
I was adamantly opposed to Hillary Clinton for many reasons. But the Hillary I saw this week, and Bill Clinton too, impressed the hell out of me. I understand one of her sayings is "fake it till you make it." Even if she isn't the candidate I would choose now, I find myself wondering if she will continue to grow better and better after this setback, like Gore has, and kinda hoping that she does. Amazing! I might want to vote for her yet.
What freaks ME out.
Economic issues.
And her lack of experience there of.
Umm...forg
Will you be counting her PTA experience while trying to make these moronic assertions?
There is a big difference, boys and girls, between local issues in one of our least populous states and dealing with the NATIONAL foreign and domestic issues that Obama has a hell of a lot more experience and knowledge of. Give me a break.
BEST POST I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THIS SITE......
Word up!! Thanks, Ron.
LOL Really? You think that the American public is stupid enough to find those things important this election? Really?
Yes.
Nobody ever went broke by betting on the ignorance of the American people.
you just make me donate 100 dollars to OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN..
And I wonder why woman scream sexist?
Yes, she is good looking, and when compared with McCain (or Cheney) she is extraordinarily attractive.
Pure, unadulterated pandering. McCain should be ashamed of himself. He has no regard for our country at all. He just wants to WIN!
I have nothing against this lady. Don't know anything about her (except a little about Trooper Gate). But anyone (and that is everyone) who even thought about the fact that Obama might be lacking experience (at least prior to his trip abroad) has got to be asking what a President Palin would do about Russia and Georgia at 3 AM!
I mean ... WTF John !!!!!!!!!!
