- Conservatives were more than willing to throw the republican party under the bus earlier this year because of McCain’s lack of conservatism, even if that may mean a lib victory.

Can a liberal point to a person they are willing to do the same to because of deeply held convictions? Quick answer: no.

Yes, because that allegation could in no way, shape, or form be legitimately levied against conservatives at any point over the last 20 years, no sir!

I personally have issue with someone who wants to teach religion in the middle of a science class.

Thanks to the Palin pick, a lot of conservatives who were contemplating staying home are now enthusiastic about going to the polls

I have do doubts..however, there are a lot of other conservatives he could have chosen as his running mate that would have done the same thing. Even people he’s met for longer than one 15 minute meeting and that his staff might have had time to vet. Presumably Fred Thompson would have fit the bill, Condi Rice, Bobby Jindal, etc.

I am surprised that the libs are bothered by underage sex. Normally, children screwing each other is ok with them.

Tell that to Krauthammer and Frum.

“Thanks to the Palin pick, a lot of conservatives who were contemplating staying home are now enthusiastic about going to the polls.”

I agree with this, and for that reason, if nothing else, it was a brilliant move.

But I’ll be the voice of dissent here and say that I don’t think she’ll be on the ticket in November. I think she’ll bow out for “personal reasons” and be replaced by Lieberman.

Just a hunch.

Thanks to the Palin pick, a lot of conservatives who were contemplating staying home are now enthusiastic about going to the polls.

Furthermore, thanks to the extreme female-denigration put out by the leftists, those women who were contemplating voting for Obama-even-though-he-isn’t-Hillary are now probably going to stay home.

It’s a win-win situation for McCain (g).

JKB,

I realize a lot of men are psyched about Palin, but I think you underestimate conservative women–every conservative woman I know who wasn’t going “Sarah who?” was doing back-flips, hand-springs, and squeeing for joy.

The attracting Hillary supporters is a feint although 9% isn’t something to ignore. Palin is a draw to those who were uninspired by this same ole election. Evidence this by the $10 million donated to McCain since the announcement. It is one thing to answer a poll and another to put your money down on the table. I expect the turnout for this election in the bitter and clingy areas just went up exponentially. That won’t be good for the guy who spoke last Thursday in Denver.

In my, admittedly limited circle, I find more men fired up about Palin than women. At least publicly. Having kids in tow, a teenage romance that ended up with adult consequences isn’t going to dampen that. These men see Palin as real, one of the kind of women they know and love.

Basically, Reba is running for VP. (check you non-primetime Lifetime channel if you don’t remember the show)

Glad to see that you approve of Palin’s candidacy. Having said that, McCain chose Palin to do two things..shore up his base and attract jilted Hillary supporters. She’s clearly done number 1, but a lot of VP candidates (some of whom he’s actually met more than once) could have done that.

On attracting Hillary supporters, she hasn’t done so well. The one poll that I saw said that 9% of Democratic women were more likely to vote McCain and 15% were less likely to do so. And who can blame them? Beyond being pro-gun (not that I have anything against that, but the average Hillary supporter on the other hand), you have a woman who is a global-warming denier, thinks we should teach creationism in school, and is against abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

And she did it on her own, without patronage.

The moonbats protests are laughable, and will cement the base’s resolve now.

McCain’s pick did exactly what it was designed to do: shore up his conservatve base. Not make him appeal to liberal morons who vote for what the candidate has or doesn’t have between their legs.

I don’t know about the babies stuff, yet. Give us time to think on that one. But, you know we’re good on guns!

Sign me up as another one of those bitter and clingy types!

Do you reckon Palin would take a month long break with an issue that the voters demand action on sitting on her desk?
