Don't fall for the Palin fake, go after McCain.
I feel that the repukes will pull Palin at the last minute declaring foul on the nasty Democratic attacks and slip in Romney or Lieberman. We will have wasted our energies on "The Palin Fake". Palin is so irrelevant she needs just to be ignored. Concentrate on McStupid's weak points, there are many.

1. I have a hard time imagining them pulling her. But I agree, all sights should be on "Raisin McCain"
Why do you think they would take her off the ticket?

2. As long as Palin keeps lying, she IS a "weak point" of McCain
So she deserves to be hit on the Bridge to Nowhere lie. It fits in well with other attacks on McCain's maverick image.

9. Sorry but I think she is just a distraction while Karl Rove picks your pocket. Keep you eyes on
McCain.

10. I agree--she is
a huge liability. She shows how poor McCain's judgment is.

Will he have an entire cabinet of beauty queens? Something like Charlie's Angels....

we will be such a joke...please please don't let this happen.

3. Painting her as a liar (which seems remarkably easy) IS going after McCain
:-)

11. Disagree. She is looking for the sympathy vote. "Why is everyone picking on me?".
McCain is responsible for the "Big Government" that he claims to be against. He had many years to fight "Big Government" but choose to vote with Bush over 90% of the time to establish the biggest government we have ever had.

4. It's not a fake, and it's not an either/or proposition.

14. At first, it was smart not to make a big deal

But it seems Palin has been driving the race instead of McCain. Ignoring her lies and faults would be at our peril IMO. You are right - tie McCain and Palin together.

5. They are not going to pull this woman.
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 06:58 PM by gatorboy
The crowd friggin' chants "Sa-rah! Sa-rah!" when McCain is speaking for God's sake. :rofl:


If anything she might drop HIM from the ticket.

7. The Reps are agog over Sarah. They've forgotten McC is on top of the ticket. We
need to remind them what an abysmal choice he is.

8. But McCain isn't running anymore.
She's doing it for him. He wasn't doing so good by himself.

13. This is exactly why we need to get back to him and ignore her. She is a distraction from the real
issues. The repukes don't want to focus on issues so they dragged out Palin, knowing that a lot of people will be distracted by her personality.
