My favorite thus far:
| Quote: |
Sarah Palin, the Alaskan-separatist-pig-in-lipstick, had not the slightest intention of allowing her complete lack of knowledge about almost everything to spoil her debate with the Democrat vice-presidential candidate, Joe Biden. �I may not answer the questions in the way in which the moderators or you want to hear, but I am going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record,� she said, straight-faced, her make-up not cracking. And so, by employing the clever strategy of not answering anything properly, and then winking in the manner of a mid-market call girl, she emerged a sort of victor. Despite revealing the intellect and political experience of a whelk. A heartbeat away, remember. |

Why couldn't McCain pick a seasoned Republican with polished credentials instead of Palin? There have been so many Republicans who could do a great job in talking about world events and debate someone like Biden.
Why couldn't he get an experienced, seasoned Republican ideologue type?
He really made a horrible choice. |

Because McCain is notorious for making last minute, what's this button do, hail mary, decisions.
His own campaign has tried to tamp down on his cantakerous, crotchetdy, "Im-not-clint-eastwood-but-I-did-stay-in-a-holiday-inn-express-last-night" style but's had little succes. One the biggest criticisms he has had is that too often he just simply goes with the last advice he's heard.
He talked with Sarah Palin once, three days before he picked her. His campaign manager never even met her.
He read a wikipedia article about her and just went "Uh I think she's great, forget about all the accomplished people we spent all that time and money talking to" |

Well we all know that the person McCain really wanted, Joe Lieberman, wasn't allowed by the party. Seemed like he bet all his chips on Lieberman and when that went down, he just chose Palin.
Think about it: The campaign slogan "Country First" was probably thought up way before the convention, before the VP pick even. I'm sure his campaign was thinking of Lieberman when they chose that slogan.
"We put our country first and disregard partisan politics. Look, to prove it, we're even putting up a Democrat as our VP candidate!".
It wasn't the Hillary supporters he originally wanted to sway, it was the conservative Democrats and undecideds, which are far greater in numbers. |

 A whelk? I'm pretty sure that's a sexist slur. I'm not sure exactly how, but it sounds even worse than the stuff about pigs and prostitution. It might also be saying something derogatory to the fishing industry, which is very important in Alaska, you know.
Someone, please tell these nasty Brits to stop. I sense something evil is afoot.
By the way, Joe Lieberman was never on the list. A black man and his family sleeping in the East Wing, we can close our eyes and see what happens - even a woman on the ticket, sure, just gotta hope there's a physician standing by to handle those mood swings and such ... but one of those yarmulke-wearers a heartbeat away from the nuclear football? THAT ain't gonna happen, my friends ...

And we all know how they can be. |

Lieberman would have been a good choice for McCain. Most of 2008, they were seen in just about every photo you can imagine together.
They also seem to represent the same thing...massive military expenditures at the costs of all else, and everything sent abroad. Would have been perfect. Lieberman loves and desires to bomb all of the Middle East (except for Israel of course) even more than Joo Rip.
I guess evangelicals TOP neocons in today's Republican Party...with fiscal conservatism DEAD in the party, and libertarians being laughed off the Republican platform altogether. |
