John McCain has just selected Alaska governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate.

I don't know anything about Palin and I don't want to know anything about her. As far as I'm concerned, this is a smoke-and-mirrors act. She was chosen solely to take some of the rich old geezer stink off of McCain, to make him look a little more hip and, I'm sure, in the hopes of luring away some of those supposedly disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters (because all they wanted to do was vote for a woman -- any woman -- right?)

I don't give a shit who McCain's running mate is, he's still the guy who'd be president. Everything about McCain is wrong for this country. Everything. He's a hot-headed liar, a filthy rich old country-clubber, golf-carting around in Ferragamo loafers while the country rots and claiming, nope, nuthin' wrong here! He has no knowledge of and zero interest in the lives of the vast majority of Americans and he has no ideas and nothing to offer except four more years of decline, decay and destruction. And if the citizens of this country are stupid enough to elect him...what can I say? They deserve what they get. I'm just sorry I'm gonna be getting it along with them.

My feelings exactly. EXACTLY. And as I told another friend, I'm furious that he chose a woman because we know she was selected solely for her XX chromosomes -- nothing to do with experience or abilities. Goddammit. Goddammit.

SO. MUCH. WORD.

I just watched Obama's speech on youtube because I missed it last night. I gotta say he blew me away. And then to hear McCain's veep nomination? Blown away again. My only hope is that those 'smart' and disgruntled Hillary supporters can see through the disgusting ruse nominating a female running mate is. I'd love to get McCain's advisors in a room and give them the giant WTF???face. Because, really?

*has sincere hope America is not that stupid*

Sorry I'm not into politics.

Just want to show you my president and his counselor.

I completely agree. It infuriates me that there are idiots ready to throw away their Clinton vote to McCain once Obama became the Democratic choice. It's obvious that those individuals are not interested in improving the issues that Clinton represented because it's plain as day that if you agreed with Hilary you certainly WOULD NOT be supportive of McCain. People can be so ignorant. GAH! I won't let it ruin the high I got off of Obama's speech last night - I won't.

That's exactly what I thought when I heard he'd selected her. It's not because he thinks it'll be good for the country. It's political expediency.

I know, right?? I totally agree...except, I'm not convinced his little plan will work out like he expects. SURELY Americans can't be THAT deluded?? Can they?? Can they??? Oh. Wait. GWBUSH has now been voted in for TWO terms...so perhaps they can.

Yeah, I think Governor Palin was chosen for her most marketable asset: her double X chromosome structure and her vagina.
