Guess Who's Not Putting America First?
I think it's the guy who picked a former small town Mayor who is just two years into her first term as Governor of Alaska to be his Vice President.
To potentially put this person in the oval office as chief executive, if the 72-year-old candidate with a history of health problems doesn't make it to the end of his term, is the height of political expediency.
A choice made merely to attract women and conservative voters, and not with America's best interest in mind.
Well done John McCain. You also destroyed your lack of experience argument. Although, hypocrisy hasn't stopped you yet.

The Republicans obviously believe that if W can be President, then pretty much anyone qualifies.

Two words: Karl Rove. She shores up the base with her extreme stance on abortion, she makes it look like the Repubs are finally giving a woman her due,unlike those nasty Dems, she opens a can of worms for Catholics who might want to support Biden, but whose priests will tell them he's the devil because he's not pro-life, she gets to shore up McCain's Maverick creds while standing beside him and gushing over what a fabulous leader he will be, something nobody else probably in the country could do with a straight face. I could go on, but...
Anyway, there is nobody in this country who has more to fear from an Obama presidency than Karl Rove and evil though he is, a malignant toad, you better believe he ran the numbers six ways from Sunday to come up with this woman. She's a winner for them, maybe in ways we'll only figure out later, but trust me, this was not just a bone-headed pick by McCain. Oh, did you see how pleased he was by her praise. I truly, for the first time, felt sorry for the old bastard, his preening vanity. My God, he's a joke and he doesn't even know it. God help us all if America doesn't know it either.
