DISQUS

To those people who said they are now going to be voting for McCain/Palin just because the Democrats didn't select Hillary for their nomination, and the Republicans did select a woman.... please read this carefully,

"By selecting a VP candidate who has nothing more in common with Hillary Clinton than ovaries, McCain just slapped 18 million people in the face. "PUMAs" should be furious that the Republicans are co-opting Clinton's landmark campaign in order to elect a candidate that believes the exact opposite of everything Hillary stood for."

....and the recent McCain/Palin remarks prove it.

Back in October 2007, when McCain's candidacy still appeared dead and buried, the Senator berated the two Republican front runners for lacking the necessary political experience to handle commander in chief responsibilities.

"I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, I've been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism," the Senator declared. "I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasn't a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn't a governor for a short period of time."

Fast-forward nearly a year, and the argument McCain made back then is being used against his vice presidential pick today. Only Sarah Palin held the post of mayor of Wasilla for less time than Rudy Giuliani headed New York City. And her gubernatorial stint in Alaska is shorter than that of Mitt Romney's in Massachusetts.

Don't wolves hunt the weak, sick, very young or very old. That leaves the strongest to strengthen the herd. Don't human hunters usually go after the "trophy" kill- the best, strongest, etc... which actually weaken the herd? They are much better caretakers of this world than we are. Here's something to keep in mind when we play "God" and decide that we are the species that really matter....

"If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos."
