DISQUS

Haven't you heard - the vetters did not go into her hometown because they were afraid that the media might catch on to the "vettuing" process. Who needs to check into her past after she was Mayor and is now Govenor - who cul.d ask for more ex[pperience than that? University of Idaho ranks right up there with the Ivies - right? "any mother of five kids" is ready to be president? Any mother with five kids and a brain would opt out of the job.
And Sarah, if you think "the Founding Fathers" put under God in the pledge of alligence you need to go back home and coach hockey. John McCain shows only disdain for the American people with this choice for VP and it puts women's equality back to square one. There are millions of women out here who want a qualified woman to run - so it wasn't Hillary this time - if Sarah gets in the north pole will be ice covered before we see a woman as president in her own right. McCain may not live to be 96 like his mama and even she said people would hold there nose to vote for him.

As a woman I have always supported getting the "best man" for a job even if it was a woman. I have watched women who were unqualified be promoted beyond their abilities and as they failed it was claimed it was because they were female. It is true that many men have been promoted beyond their capabilities and in general have received multimillion dollar golden parachuetes - hopefully never to be heard from again. For Senator McCain to select a 44 year old woman who was elected govenor when there was a vaccumn in Alaska - no one with any sense wanted to get into the mess they had gotten themselves into - knowing that she could become president only shows how little respect he has for the United States of America. McCain, obviously, expects to finish out his full term, if elected, and is happy to have Sarah going to state funerals around the world.
McCains hero status does not trup such arrogance and lack of concern about the future of America.
We need all the gods we can muster to get past this one.
