Quick post before I head off and fall asleep to The Wire. I was reading around the net today and came across this forum which pretty much validated the thoughts I had when Vir first posted the idea of Sarah Palin a week or two back. Many women and particularly Hillary backers are going to love this choice by McCain.Â
Here is a sampling of some of the absurd comments. I realize this is just is just a small snippet of the online community but it does give you some perspective on why McCain made the choice:
"HOPE ITS PALIN, I WOULD VOTE TWICE JUST TO STICK IT TO OBAMA"
"Hoo Ray! Fu*k the DNC. Fu*k Obama. They are so fu*k up.  They brushed off the women base like dirt. and the GOP pick them up. Go McCain. Go GO OG !"
"Leave it to the GOP to pick a woman for the ticket. Obama snubbed the most viable and experienced woman who received 18 million votes, for another MALE. I have a feeling, somewhere somehow, Hillary is snickering!"
 "I AM SO EXCITED, I'M HEADING TO ALASKA, YES YES YES YES YES. VOLUNTEER, I'M IN, I'M READY,DONATE, TIME, WHATEVER, MY VOTE GOES TO MCCAIN/PALIN ALL THE WAY, I'M RUNNING BACK AND FORTH, CANNOT SIT DOWN, I'M CLIMBING THE WALLS"
Personally I am voting Libertarian regardless. But I have a feeling McCain just made one hell of a move with this choice which will grab many Hillary supporters who feel slighted and possibly many of those middle of the road women. Sure this won't wrap up many of those "woman's rights" folk with the anti-abortion stance Sarah has, but I think the positives far outweigh the negatives.
It does crack me up to see these supposed Democrats feeling this disenfranchised that they would vote for the other party just over a woman...

Palin talked about what women expect from women leaders; how she took
charge in Alaska during a political scandal that threatened to unseat
the state's entire Republican power structure, and her feelings about
Sen. Hillary Clinton. (She said she felt kind of bad she couldn't
support a woman, but she didn't like Clinton's whining.)
lolz good way to get support ...

no way in hell will a ticket with a female win, we simply aren't able to look past what is in between our legs

I'm perfectly capable of looking past race and gender, in fact they haven't really been considerations for me beyond the occasional off color joke. And because of that I don't find Obama even remotely impressive. Hes an image being fed to the sheep and a great example of everything thats wrong with our society, all flash and no substance.
Now given a few more years in the Senate he could become more interesting, but given how liberal he's been so far I doubt it.
I'd like to see the days when people ran for office to serve the people and the greater good of their country come back. If I were in that position I'd serve for life just to try and steer our country in the right direction.

You are welcome. Change isn't going to come if you keep buying in to the two party system and swallowing down what the media feeds you.
