When will McCain dump Palin?

She's an evangelical christian(code word for idiot), her husband is an oil field worker, and she has a pregnant, unwed 17 year old daughter. Yep, the Republicans are once again courting the white trash vote.

I think it's pretty apparent at this point the Republicans are throwing the election. Nobody could possibly be that stupid to pick a running mate with such an unimpressive pedigree and list of accomplishments.

This is pure calculation as usual by the republicans. They knew about it, and that way they can show to the younger female voters that they can address some of the newer issues without forgetting the old values aka no abortion. Smart move. They are not throwing the election, they are just hypocrites as usual.

Pleasure to see your intolerance once again! Libs like you are so full of hate, you just cannot stand to hear another point of view, LOL! So, let's see, now you hate women and also you hate all women who are teen mothers. OK, so you must hate Barack Obama's mama then because she was 18 when young Barack was born. GOTCHA! (and also, Barack was conceived out-of-wedlock, that's for bonus points Bob!)

Me being intolerant? You Dummkopf. Lets see here, I am not a lib, my girlfriend is a teen mom, and I love women. I don't care too much for Obama's background as I don't for McCain. You have to admit though in order to catch the undecided female vote this is pure calculation. I can't stand the point of view you on too many occasions brought on here thats correct.

Your girlfriend is a teen mom? What a whore!

Well there seems to be a pool going in the predictions market in Las Vegas that Palin will drop off the ticket before the election. Here are a few items that are already fueling the speculation: Troopergate... Preparedness Questioned... Defense Role Negated... Almost Recalled... No Iraq Focus... Ted Steven's Scandal... Secessionist Party... Earmarks Beneficiary... Pregnant Daughter... Abramoff Connection... Corruption Investigation... Church And State...

The Intrade prediction market has opened trading on whether "Sarah Palin [is] to be withdrawn as Republican VP nominee before 2008 presidential election." At 8:55 am, Tuesday morning, the market is selling the prediction at 18 a share and rising. That means 18 percent of traders think Palin will be removed.

Some think that McCain picked her so he can blame a lost election to her; others are comparing this to the Harriet Miers fiasco.

Amazing how many can be influenced... No wonder they do it.
Let''s see, first... it was actually her daughters baby, then she belongs to a party that wants to secede from the "lower 48" most recently she is/or has had an affair. Throw it all at the wall and see what (there is no easy way to say it).. people will run with.
Pssst... your husband/wife is having an affair.
Must be true.. it is in print... or on MSNBC...

The Associated Press closely watched Governor Sarah Palin, the GOP's VP pick, at last night's RNC convention and has outlined the many ways she exaggerated and lied.


Check out Pinocchio Palin's claims and the truth:

PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."

PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."

THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.

PALIN: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."

THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama's plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain's plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.

Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.

He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.

The AP report also showed how Palin's champions have exaggerated the Alaskan governor's 'acheivements':

MCCAIN: "She's been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America's energy supply … She's responsible for 20 percent of the nation's energy supply. I'm entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America," he said in an interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson.

THE FACTS: McCain's phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she's no more "responsible" for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population.

MCCAIN: "She's the commander of the Alaska National Guard. … She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities," he said on ABC.

THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under "federal status," which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska's national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations.

FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States."

THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor's election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.

FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: "We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin."

THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.

But as we all know, Repubs are lemmings who will blindly follow and pledge allegiance to any Repub running for prez.

Some peoples are SO STUPID!

Fresh of the newswire, hon:
--------------------------------
Sarah Palin is the ultimate trainwreck of late.

And here's the latest…

It's pitbull vs pitbull!

As we all saw in the case of John Edwards, if the National Enquirer is on to something they're like a pitbull that's bitten into a leg — you can't shake it off!

And, whether or you liked their tactics or not, the Enquirer DID reveal the truth in the Edwards mistress case, although they're not always right.

The tabloid has discovered that Alaska's lipstick wearing pitbull of a governor had an affair with her snowmobile racing husband's business partner.

The John McCain camp is, no surprise, not too happy with the Enquirer's meddling and has threatened legal action.

Suing to to throw the Enquirer off the adulterous trail, Johnny boy?

------------------------------------

hehehe Now we know why the daughter is such a whore...she learnt it from her whore mother!
One other thing about Whore-Mom...She is kind of Trannylicous looking. Was she even born a woman?

Did you say that with a straight face? All political moves are calculated.

And what is the liberal prescription for our current economic woes. As far as I am concerned, Barrack has what amounts to a high school understanding of economic policy.
The man is more or less a celebrity who happens to have a law degree.

Geraldo Rivera is also a celebrity with a law degree is he just as qualified then?
