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...

What it does is kill the argument made by Obama that McCain is a DC guy. It also kills McCains argument that Obama has no experience. This levels the field and I believe that benefits McCain.
For those that dislike the United States, I ask you why your countries play second fiddle to us? Our country is made of citizens and they are the best damn citizens on the face of the earth. America is made of winners and we teach our kids to win. We do not lose and at anything. We spent billions just to prove we could beat the Soviets to the moon; we spend far more than any country on military just to have the best and most capable military in the world.
Europe needs to stop being jelious of us and realize that we arent your child, but rather your neighbor.

"We do not lose and at anything." - Vietnam war ?
"Our country is made of citizens and they are the best damn citizens on the face of the earth." -> WE ARE TEH BEST ZOMG, BECAUSE ... BECAUSE I SAID SO.
Thats one of the reasons why the rest of the world doesn't like you guys as much as we could, we are all people; exceptional people are everywhere in which country one is born does not determine how great one is(most of the time anyway).
There are other reasons too , they are not hard to find , go look.
PS: I have nothing against the united states , amazing country , amazing people , but the whole "best" thing is so retarded it really has to stop.

You lost the Vietnam war, you're not getting anywhere in Iraq and the Soviets beat you to space.

Really I just read that we are having troops cuts in Iraq? Wasnt the purpose of that war to remove the regime. Didnt Saddam get hung? We pulled out of Vietnam, the only thing they beat us in was the will the fight. We won every major battle and killed millions of them. The race was to them moon and we won that.

Russians will say it was a race to space, Americans will say it was a race to the moon.

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 ...

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.
