ok I feel kind of sorry for Palin and her family

[Egnever]

I dont think this woman has a clue what she just got herself into. She was clearly not vetted properly by mcsames camp and is now about to go through a grinder usually reserved for people that have been vetted over years as they gained in stature before reaching the level she just jumped into.

when this is over her family will have been shredded and she will likely never hold office again. The worst thing she could have done to herself was to accept this nomination.

My opinion at this point is that the pukes are using her simply to get funds from the oil industry and to keep the base from wandering to far off the reservation.

She just stuck herself into a grinder she will never recover from.

1. Let's all be as kind as possible

Even if her politics differ, she's not evil....She is so being used!!

[Egnever]

3. well i am not going that far

I feel bad for her but she did it to herself I am certainly not going to go out of my way to be nice to her cause IMHO she is dangerous. Politics aside though I do feel bad for what is about to happen to her.

[JVS]

4. What a load of horseshit. Let's chew her up and spit her our the goddamned American fucking way!

[Forkboy]

19. I don't whether to laugh or cry at that.

But laughing seems to be winning out. :rofl:

[1Hippiechick]

30. Crying tears of joy here.

:rofl:

The latest Dem ad to come out since announcing Palin is WEAK!

McInsane campaign looks like a page out of Machiavelli playbook!

Obama started with a few jabs in his acceptance speech and blow-by-blow addressed the main party differences. We've got to keep up the heat!

"Be as kind to Palin...." B-SHIT!

[JVS]

47. I'm not joking, but there's no reason to cry. Let's get out there and cause PTSD!

[yardwork]

10. She sounds evil to me.

She believes in killing wolves with machine guns from helicopters, hid scientific evidence proving that polar bears are endangered, thinks that global warming is a myth, hates gay people, doesn't believe in abortion even in cases of rape and incest, wants creationism taught in schools, belongs to the Assemblies of God which believes in faith healing, speaking in tongues, and the rapture, and appears to be as crooked and unethical as any other Alaskan politician.

Her parents have dead animals all over their walls, Sarah likes to have herself photographed sitting on dead bears, and has a habit of firing police chiefs.

Everybody in her home town seems to hate her and the Alaska state legislature is trying to impeach her. What's not evil?

[SteppingStone]

33. And the latest... she's against birth control even for married couples.

She's a nightmare candidate!

[sniffa]

43. What now about impeachment?

[roguevalley]

16. I know what the OP means.This is going to be brutal.

[kwolf68]

23. Why be kind

-The Republicans sure as hell wont be

-Why is she ANY different than Bush/Cheney? Her views are as radical, even moreso. She is a 'whore' for the oil industry just like Bush/Cheney

I see absolutely NO difference in this women than Cheney, NONE.

[WeDidIt]

28. Nah, tear her the fuck up

trash her.

Ruin her.

Bring her down.

She's he dumbass who decided she could be Veep.

[1Hippiechick]

31. aka go for the jugular.... n/t

[Iris]

40. Republicans sure have a way of picking women who are willing to be used.

Harriet Meyers, anyone?

[Hokie]

51. It's not like she is a bright 44 year old woman or anything

You know, like someone capable of deciding for themselves if they want to put their family through this. Let's just stand by while the media portrays her as Biden's equal and fawns all over her and tells us what a fantastic choice McCain made picking this bright perky young thing to carry the banner for all the Hillary supporters. Yes, let's all do that. Sheesh!

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. She's not going to be vetted for shit

Andrea Mitchell's gonna turn her into Mother theresa, and the lapdog press will squeal in delight at Willow, Trigg, and the rest. Who's gonna do a hard hitting story? GOP flack david gregory? Come on. She's the Queen Mother for God's sake. By mid-September we'll be led to believe that she is as beloved worldwide as Princess fucking Diana.

[Egnever]

5. Somehow I dont think so.

Theres too much. Hell lawmakers from her state are already turning on her and its been a day.

[Kool Kitty]

9. McCain's spokeswoman was already on

Larry King saying that she is the most popular governor in the country. I don't honestly think I heard a thing about her until this morning.

[Iris]

36. ..er... how would one measure that?

Does that mean, the entire country likes her the best? Or the percentage of her supporters in her state is higher than any other? Or could being ranked by Playboy as one of the sexiest politicians do it?

That's just a dumb thing to say.

[1Hippiechick]

38. I can't stand that loud-motor-mouth non-stop-jabbering with-the-ill-timed-McCain-grin idiot!

And they allow her to dominate the entire panel! Why? If the male panelists on there won't "interrupt" her, THEY need to take the gloves off, too!

[LibDemAlways]

11. Interesting because when I read the OP I immediately

thought of Diana and how she, young and inexperienced, accepted a "job" with the Royal Family, which proceded to grind her up and ultimately toss her out.

I agree that there will be no vetting process and the corporate whores will try to sell her as the "new and improved" female candidate, but you can only go so far trying to convince the public that a little leaguer is ready to play in the majors. McCain really screwed this one up.

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. She said: "I really haven't THOUGHT about Iraq"

Pity the fool

[iconicgnom]

22. Talk about thick.

I guess that's what it takes to partner with McCain.

[katandmoon]

7. I don't feel sorry for her, but I do feel sorry for her kids

They didn't do anything to deserve this. But she clearly loves being in the public eye and holding positions of power, and people like that always snap back -- she's a fundie, and fundies thrive on being persecuted.

[nc4bo]

8. I don't, not one bit. It's what happens when you like playing with matches. nt

[givemebackmycountry]

12. I'm sorry but....

EFF HER.
If she's that stupid, she deserves what's coming to her.

Shit, she may be in JAIL before November if this investigation turns something up juicy.

And, I'm sorry.
She's a rookie.
She is going to do something stupid.
She may already have by doctoring her own Wikipedia page.
Yeah, she did it, something stupid.

McCain, is a stupid old man, clutching to a dream that died in 2000, when "Dubya" fucked him in the ass while Karl Rove held him down.

And he didn't do shit about it.
In fact he continued to let "Dubya" fuck him in the ass, only difference this time around was Karl Rove didn't have to hold him down anymore.

War Hero, Mr. POW just gave it up.
Like the bitch he is.

John McCain.
You Sir, are a Right Wing whore.

[kath]

13. The Repugs have been grooming her for office for YEARS - see this story:

http://dwb.adn.com/news/politics/story/8334949p-8231037c.html

she knows who she's been dealing with. It's not like they just started using her this week.

[fizzgig]

14. *cue the world's smallest violin*

do you actually think she thinks that running for vice president was going to be puppies and rainbows and sunshine and tea parties?

give me a break. she lives in alaska, not under a rock on one of jupiter's moons...she knows what politics is like and that everything is fair game.

she got herself into this and i can't believe she's too stupid to know that she's being used. i think she should be ashamed of herself for insulting women like she has.

[NYC_SKP]

15. Are you over it yet?

For the kids, yes, I do feel sympathy, for her and her husband, no...

[Egnever]

29. Yea it was temporary

and it was just ALMOST feel sorry for her :P

[NYC_SKP]

52. Well, you know, for the sake of her family, we should REALLY work hard...

...to defeat McCain, so that she and her family don't have to go through four years of hell.

Let's do it for the children.....for the kids. (the kids all around the world!)

:patriot:

[DangerousRhythm]

17. I don't feel bad for her at all.

I feel bad for her kids, not her husband because he could have talked her out of this or tried his damnedest.

I don't feel bad for Sarah Palin because quite simply, she wants to run us into the ground. Her positions, the ones we even KNOW about, are WORSE than Bush's, WORSE than McCain's. I mean holy hell! She could actually be President. NO way in HELL do I feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for US, for this nation, for being subjected to this absolute FARCE.

And note, my anger isn't directed at you for your opinion... it's directed straight at the Republican Party and Karl Rove for being massive assholes and even making this possible.

:argh:

[Raine]

18. I don't, not one bit. nt

[Forkboy]

20. Nah, she's way too happy every time I see her. Screw her.

I can't stand happy people! x(

[JVS]

24. Yeah. I fucking hate her stupid grin. Running around like she's on ecstacy suppositories or...

something. Pfeh!

[johnnydrama]

21. her husband has issues too

Many references to him as the "co-governor" on Alaska websites.

Apparantly she cc'd him on all her government emails.

[depakid]

25. What would one expect when dealing with fundies?

There'll be that and more.

[lolamio]

26. I feel more sorry for the polar bears she wants to take off the endangered species act.n/t

[TheKentuckian]

27. The sympathy sentiment leaves me amazed

WHY????

Nuttier than Pat Robertson. Knows less than Dubya. Less regard for the Environment than a toxin manufacturer. Total Theocrat.

You need to have some sympathy for America if the GOP gets to hone their new puppet. She should be put on the ballot and then dismembered, if at all possible.
A lot of kids have to deal with much tougher lives because of the Bush/Palin/Cheney/McCain policies, her's will be okay.

If you believe in equality then you believe women should take their lumps, just like the fellas. Nobody holds back on Chimpy for his kids. Nobody holds back on Obama because of his girls. Nobody worried about poor Chelsea trying to grow up in all that mayhem.

Screw Palin, her old man, and the rugrats can toughen up like everyone else's. Screw the Corporate whore media for saying that she shouldn't be beaten up on or bullied. She shouldn't be here if she can be bullied.

NO WAY! Equality is exactly that and Republican nutjobs are lucky to not get kneecapped on sight. She should be auto-disqualified for saying she hasn't thought about Iraq, especially since her son is going to be deployed.

How in the world can you be a freaking Governor and be in a position to have NOT THOUGHT ABOUT IRAQ? That's vapid.
We've been there for five years, you're an empty headed ninny, even as a joe blow citizen if you haven't thought about Iraq.
Her head should be bashed like a rotten melon!!!!

[chatnoir]

49. All for Big Oil and drilling

The woman is repellent.

[Midlodemocrat]

32. Fuck her and her little dog, too.

Is that sympathetic enough for you?

Posts like this make me :puke:

[Left Is Write]

39. But, Midlo, the poor little thing didn't know what she was getting herself into!

She needs our love and pats on the back now, not some silly insistence that she actually be qualified to do the job she was tapped for. Have you no shame?

:eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

41. Oh, you're right. The poor little thing.

Let's just form a circle and send her a virtual hug.

:rofl:

[SteppingStone]

42. Is her little dog stuffed or hanging on her wall?

BTW, I agree with you. All the "give the poor little woman a break" posts are sexist and discusting!

[JVS]

44. LOL!

[Left Is Write]

34. Feel sorry for Palin? No way. I don't feel one bit sorry for her. Why should I?

[K8-EEE]

35. Stay out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat

Look what Obama's family has gone through, and the Clintons.

[DevonRex]

37. If a yobannaya mat runs for VP ya gotta call her a yobannaya mat.

And since she lives right next to Russia and knows foreign policy (as FUX News says) then she'll understand what that means.

[Frumious B]

45. She wouldn't feel sorry for you whilst legislating her religion down your throat.

I think she deserves that same degree of sympathy.

[abbeyco]

46. Because she'll miss moose hunting season?

Or because she'll miss shooting wolves from planes?

I can't think of a damn reason to feel sorry for her - she got herself into this by saying yes to McSame, so she's part of the whole damn thing.

If she can bow out gracefully, more power to her - if she stays in, she gets everything coming to her.

[DeschutesRiver]

48. Oh, bollocks on that

She is perfectly free to, even now, step down. She doesn't want to. She isn't qualified, she is getting that, but she still wants the spot.

This is the woman who said in her acceptance speech, thanks Hillary, and I will take it from here. You know, finish what you could not.

I don't like Hillary - but this woman isn't fit to be Hillary Clinton's admin assistant. Not even her dog walker. Pah on her. Didn't she not like Hillary's "whining"?

She put herself in the blender and is trying to hit the start button herself - how ridiculou to not hold her accountable. I will feel pity only if and when she acknowledges she isn't fit and over her head, AND STEPS DOWN. If she is taken down, no sympathy at all (which is rapidly coming).

[TheDonkey]

50. I Don't.
