Cynical Pandering

Pathetic. This might be the most obvious showing of the GOP's complete lack of anything resembling principles in the years.

After months of accusing Michelle Obama and Hilary of tokenism now they embrace this unqualified token female. Shameful pandering that is an insult to women b/c this horrible choice is based solely on the idea that Hilary supporters are going to vote for McCain now b/c his VP has a vagina and ignore that she's a right wing hack. But apparently, it's only black women that are "tokens"?

Here is a woman who has been governor of a state with more reindeer than people for all of 20 months. Before that the mayor of a town of 9000...What a joke. If leading a governmental agency of a population of 600,000 for a little over a year and a half makes you qualified to be President that would open it up to about 20,000 mayors, County Executives, governors.

You are honestly telling me that she is the BEST and most qualified member of the GOP to be VP? Really? She's not even the best female candidate, Kay Bailey Hutchinson is infinitely more qualified than her if you must have a woman candidate. Elizabeth Dole?

Please, Executive experience. Her big ethics controversy is so freakin' quaint as to be right out of an Andy Griffith episode. Using her influence to get her sister's ex-husband fired. That is so precious and it shows how small time she is. She's so ill-equipped to be VP that only a few weeks ago she didn't have enough information to form an opinion on The Surge in Iraq.

George Bush had been an executive for years and he let 9/11 happen. So, I'm not sure the Governor card is a strong one.

Finally, can you imagine the firestorm created by Malkin, Coulter and the comments by the Right if Obama's 17 year old daughter were pregnant…OMG the double standard. And of course the absolute SILENCE about Cindy McCain. If Michele Obama were a drug addict, that would be all you'd hear about. (let me be perfectly clear, I don't think someone's family issues disqualify them and I really like Cindy McCain she is a class act and seems to have a very good heart. But the GOP has been making fun of Obama's family for 2 years, so I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy, not condemning Cindy)

Media Bias toward the GOP in this country is sickening.
