Sen. McCain, of all the candidates you considered, what drew you to her?

JOHN: Obviously, I found her to be very intelligent and very well-versed on the issues. But I think the important thing was that she's a reformer. She's taken on special interests since she ran for the PTA and the city council and mayor. The courage, I guess, is what most impressed me.

:banghead:

1. Are you f-cking kidding me? This is surreal. n/t

[Riddler]

2. I guess taking soft drinks out of the cafteria

WOULD be an issue that would qualify a person for the presidency.

11. I took trans fats out of my own kitchen. I think that qualifies me for

Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Hey, it was an executive decision.

3. My Dad called me, he wants to know if McCain is running for city council.

after he saw McCain gush over her taking on the special interests at the PTA.

4. She fought for parents rights over the teachers.

5. I heard that! I couldn't believe it.

Since when does a candidate mention her PTA experience, for crying out loud!

6. Well, I have been the president of two PTOs here in Texas so....

I am thinking starting out small- maybe I'll try governor of Texas my first time out of the gate, but, it looks like the sky's the limit for a woman like me- Thanks, Sarah!!!:sarcasm: :woohoo: :rofl: :kick:

8. If Bush can be governor of TX, then you certainly can.

:rofl:

13. I served on the grounds committee of my HOA...

guess that qualifies me to be at least Lt. Governor!

7. Ridiculous.

But not surprising.

9. The dipshit met her ONCE last year... wtf is wrong with that moran?? n/t

10. Man, are the republicans so full of shit! How can anyone use the word "courageous" and the "PTA"

in the same sentence....That's like saying it was courageous of me to stop at a red light with a cop right behind me.

[progressivebydesign]

12. Doesn't she sound like one of those "stealth candidates"???

You know.. the ones that take over the PTA and the City Council and such, and fill it with their other "believer" friends??? And fire the people that get in their way???

UnF'kingBelievable. I cannot imagine many voters will fall for this desperate pathetic attempt to put lipstick on a pig.
