Libs are about six decades too late to make a scandal of a teenage pregnancy.

McCains Brain...or whats left of it!!!

I'm not sure who's been mixing the Kool-Aid for Republicans and low info voters, but Sarah Palin is NOT ready to serve as manager of a fastfood joint, let alone the Vice Presidency of the United States.

Ms. Palins inexperience on the national and international stage makes Angelina Jolie look like Margaret Thatcher.

Eventhough i don't support McCain, i could envision Tom Ridge,Romney, Lieberman, Condi Rice or Pawlenty being Vice President. Because, these people are qulaified and Palin is NOT.

John McCain reportedly met this lady once before offering her the second most important job on the planet.

So far all we know is that she likes AK47s and ran a city with 7000 people.

If a 50 year old candidate had picked Palin, it would seem slightly more palateable.

But McCain is a 72 year old cancer survivor with a few physical disabilities. Seriously!!!

This is no longer a partisan issue...i fear for the United States if this lady ever feels the heat of that office.

When it came time for both Obama and McCain to make their first presidential decisions, McCain flunked miserably while Obama hit the mark.

Can you imagine Palin on a one on one with Vladimir Putin or Ahmagdinejad??

Republicans, you have sold the soul of this country to Saudi Arabian oil princes, please do not dig this ditch even deeper.

ENOUGH!!!

Palins Pregnancy

Why wasnt this young lady using condoms. She might not have ben this guys only partner if he didnt even care. Five dollars could have solved this whats the problem.

Palin Best Person For the Job

Palin's daughter situation doesn't effect my opinion of the her. I think shes great! Being a women, I understand how difficult it is to rise to the top especially when all your credentials can be easily dismissed by others. However, everything said about her can be easily disputed. She is a governor,essential the president of her state, this qualifies her for the position as VP. 13 years of experience is sufficent.

this is so awesome

Dan Quayle doesn't have to worry about being the worst VP ever chosen by the Republican Party. Palin may be able to spell potato but she apparently doesn't understand the definition of disaster.

Repugs are getting their asses handed to them in '08.

Environment

Clark of TX,

Unfortunately by the time our green energy is ready, most of our wealth would have been transferred to foreign oil suppliers, such as our friends the Saudis, Putin, and Hugo.

The oil suppliers do not care about polluting their environment. So by protecting ours, we help to make theirs much worse. Oh, we don't care about the world any more, and their foul air would stay over their heads.

One of the stupidist idea in green movement is to pollute our vista with acres and acres of huge wind mills. They are ugly, threaten silly bumbling birds, and we need to build roads, mount new electric grids, sometimes thru old growth forests, to reach the energy source.

The only green energy should be biofuel developed from weeds and yard waste, fuel developed from trash, and solar energy collected by solar panels mounted on roof tops. But none of these are ready to support the economy. If we want to survive in the meantimes, we have to produce our own oil.

Umm you all do know that anyone can make a Myspace page and claim it is theirs right?... I highly doubt that this guy who CLAIMS to be the daddy really is... don't be so naive

People dont get it... I dont care about the kids judgment she 17!

It McCains and this Bumpkin pardon my french whos judgment that is in question. Really good idea?... Not unless your thinking about using this 17 year old for some votes which is even worse.. Because everybody knew this was coming out and more... So look why your taking sides and why because this is all part of the script... Its about manipulating the Pro-Life vote... you all should be proud... Keep religon, a womans right to choose, and 17 year old girls out of politics... Which also means keep MCCAIN out of the white house

Family Value

When you run on "Family Value" your going to be measured by it. What would you say to the farmer who tells everybody how to grow something and his backyard is in chaos?.... Dont really care about abortion I care about judgment. To conclude yes they are red ... necks
