Viva Sarah!
I'm afraid you bourgeois simpletons still do not appreciate the revolutionary potential of Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin. I have previously detailed her record of expropriating the satanic oil companies on behalf of the proletariat of Alaska. But there is oh so much more. She and her hubby are in solidarity with the Alaska Independence Party, which aims to separate the state from the imperialist U.S.A. and establish itself as a kind of white Saudi Arabia, albeit with snow instead of sand. And she does not shy away from armed struggle, as no doubt many an unfortunate moose or wolf could attest, if they could attest to anything. Besides contributing to the movement her person facility with firearms, she is also commander-in-chief of the Al-Aska Martyrs Brigade (pictured below), which to the world goes by the cover of the Alaska National Guard.

....please place your bets now to see if you reap the rewards of a V.P. withdrawal before this Friday....
Will it be Baby-gate that brings Gov Sarah Palin down? I doubt it....
Will it be Trooper-gate(with the help from DUI-gate, Earmarks-gate and Secede-from-the-Union-gate) that brings her down?
More likely....at least the impropriety of the investigation certainly won't help the Republican brand this fall....

Che Palin?
Viva la revolucion!!!
Health care for all in Alaskaland? Probably not but I am betting there will be Mooseburgers and oil revenues for the oppressed masses. Hey the oil market is very profitable just think how much money Alaskaland can get from the capitalist American dogs. I wonder if there would be a natural alliance between Alaskaland and Hugo Chavez's Venezuela? It would seem like a natural alliance...

The US paid $7,200,000 for Alaska. If AIP wants independence, they should at least offer to buy it instead of just planning to steal it.
What is Seward's non-Folly worth today factoring in the North Slope, ANWR and the USGS's recent assessment:
And don't forget that melting ice caps make the oil and gas more recoverable.
I wonder how AIP expects an independent Alaska to defend against Russian imperialism.

so McCain throws a bone to the conservatives and the PUMAs, then is forced to "accept Palin's withdrawal" from the ticket, then gets to nominate his first choice Holy Joe Lieberman, but still gets the conservative and PUMA cred for choosing Palin.
could happen...

Unfortunately someone shit in their "Republican Hat" and their "American Hat" is too big for their undersized brains.
What a wonderful shitshow this is turning out to be.

Yeah, did you hear Laura commenting that all the governors were "republican?" Also the governor of Texas said the same thing when he was bragging about the great job they did in averting the storm that went in a different direction. Then Bush made the comment that it all went better this time because of the governors.
As Jon Stewart put it, they weren't wearing their "American hats, they were wearing their Ass Hats!"

Why is everyone afraid of Palin?
What possible harm can she do to experienced candidates like Obama and Biden?
Don't you trust the American voter?

Why is everyone afraid of Palin? Because if you had the choice to be stranded on a desert island with either Hillary, Palin, or Pelosi, it would be overwhelmingly Palin. For a whole host of reasons.

If you could be stranded on a desert isle with Sara, I think it would be grand.

I was going to say...these crazy republicans?
I never cease to be amazed at the way they can argue any side of any issue when it suits them.
Anyone remember "Murphy Brown?" She was the adult businesswoman (TV show) who MADE A DECISION to have a child without being married. The show was excoriated by republicans.
Now, having a child (by accident one must assume) and then getting married at the ripe old age of 17 is wonderful, and her mother is a saint for not making her have an abortion? Is this the same mother/governor who cut funds to help less well-connected teens with babies?
It is her policies that I can't stand. I can name 5 people - relatives and friends who got pregnant without being married - that happens everywhere. I don't have a judgement about her or her family for that.
What I do judge her on, is her flat-earth mentality that would deny education to other peoples' children to help them avoid pregnancy, and then deny funding for those who need help.
Actually, she really is more like Cheney than Bush, when you think about it. (Probably a better shot, though)

Children of candidates are off limits!!!
Oh, why then did McCain meet the children at the airport today? Why were they paraded on camera twice tonight? Bringing an infant to a convention? He is the most exploited baby I've ever seen.
What a beautiful family, McCain said, but her family are "off limits."
They are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They made her into a pleasant home town gal at the beginning of her speech and then turned her into a screeching scold in the end. Her belittling of Obama was so outrageous when you consider the difference between their intellects.

As to the island thing, agreed, no contest.
As to VP, I wanted Hillary.

JohnW,
I'm disappointed. There's not a great deal of difference in their physical attraction, but you would have to talk with the woman. While Sara and shooter242 are on the same intellectual plane and ideological bedfellows, you'd go nuts. And Sara might still be fertile. Would you want to raise a child with her? Think with the big head.

oh, I'm too old to be fathering children, though I'd give it my best shot if you could arrange a date for me with Sophia Loren.

People were saying that Hillary was being dissed by not being chosen VP...that makes me wonder if all the Romney lovers and Pawlenty friends, and Crist voters, etc, will also feel insulted enough to vote for Obama...

Actually, I think it was Aaron Sorkin. In a fit of self-portraiture, he placed words to that effect into the mouth of one of his characters on the TV show "The West Wing".

Kind of scary when people are hailed as heroes simply for carrying a baby to term or putting on a uniform.
I'd rather save the recognition for when the job is well done.
