Does this man REALLY think American women are dumb enough to not see through this latest ploy?
"I'm a maverick"
"Washington's broken"
"Obama's too inexperienced"
"I'm the underdog to Obama's celebrity"
"I need Palin as a VP. She's the right choice."
The guy has done nothing but REACT to Obama's successes and play catch up. Maverick? Ok, McBush. Washington broken? Hmmm... how many years has he been in Washington now? Almost 30. Obama too inexperienced? His veep's been in politics since 2006. So now he's gone and chosen a woman to try and take Hilary's disgruntled voters - once again REACTING to what he's observing in politics rather than actually creating anything. Never mind that no one's ever heard of this woman and really brings nothing to the table other than the fact that she's a woman.
This man's got NO leg to stand on. No position. Nothing new and different. You know, as much as I loathe Bush and know he's been wrong on everything he's touched, I believe the guy was passionate about his position and truly believed he was right. McCain on the other hand just seems like he's going through the motions. He doesn't seem committed and real. I have even less respect for him. Especially after this latest slap in the face to women. A clear ploy and an insult to our intelligence. I can only hope and pray that Hil's sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits see through it. They had the AUDACITY to suggest that Palin has broken the glass ceiling and that this is the all-mighty historic moment for women. Are you KIDDING ME?!?!? Hilary did that. Hilary broke the glass ceiling. Hilary earned those stripes. Not this beauty queen puppet.
I loved Obama's speech last night. And you're talking to a woman who was very skeptical, a woman who, had she been a registered Democrat (I'm registered as an Independent), would've very clearly voted for Hilary. My favorite part? When he commented on how this election has never been about him, but about US. I was just saying before his speech how I think the reason why so many people love him so much is because he is the embodiment and representation of true American ideals and the hope we have for ourselves. He is so right. It's not about him. It's about what he represents that we either see in ourselves or WANT to see in ourselves. THAT was a beautiful statement on his part and I'm so grateful that he said it.
I've drunk the Kool-Aid.
F*** McCain and his female puppet. Let him continue to play catch up.

Wow, you definitely had a lot stronger reaction to the vp pick than I did! I actually thought it was pretty cool. Ok, yes I know nothing about her and it's clearly a purely political "reactive" move, but I think it's pretty darned cool that this election will be historic no matter which party gets elected - first African American president or first female VP. I'm still playing avoidance on all the political banter right now (if I don't, I may have to shoot myself before the election finally comes around). So, I haven't drunk the Obama kool-aid yet and am still not sure what to think of McCain. Let's face it though, whoever gets in, it will be a HUGE improvement over what we've got now!
Oh Kara, you and I definitely part ways on this topic. It scares me. I mean, I knew there'd be bumps in the road, but I didn't expect this whopper. It just reeks of desperation to win to me. The party just wants to win at any cost: to hell with the state of the country should she be forced to step into power. There was so much fear over the momentum that the Dems had that he pulled this rabbit out of the hat. I have to give it to them that they are incredibly successful at being manipulative liars. Creating crap and yet making it look like a pile of roses.
I've always resented how the Republicans have hijacked morality and put a patent on it - like we're all just Sodomites partaking in over here in the blue states. And yet, look at them. We've got a Jerry Springer show playing on the electoral stage with Lyn Spears as the VP nominee, and none of us are supposed to criticize her hypocrisy lest we come off as sexist. It's sick. The Dems have never been very good at playing the political game to win.
It sickens me to think that this chick can fly in at the 11th hour and capitalize on all of the effort put forth by Clinton. You know she'll only be there to make coffee in the White House so it's just a huge farce that this will supposedly mean that women 'have arrived.'
