Hillary’s reaction to the Palin pick
In her speech earlier today, John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin acknowledged both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton for what they’ve done for women in politics. In response, Clinton issued the following statement:
“We should all be proud of Gov. Sarah Palin’s historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Sen. McCain. While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Gov. Palin will add an important new voice to the debate.”
The staff at an interesting new website called Culture11 has compiled “The Top Eleven Things Hillary Clinton Did Upon Hearing Sarah Palin Got the Veep Nod.” One of the masterminds behind this new site is our former blog editor, Joe Carter, who’s also known for his popular Christian blog, The Evangelical Outpost.
Good luck with the new site, Joe.

Palin — yet another reason the Dems are sorry they didn’t pick Hillary, and Hillary knows it. All her hard work all these years, but this is what happens when you want power and lose sight of what’s really important.
(The opening paragraph prior to the 11 lines was cute, too.)

Now that evangelicals are mocking Hillary finding her voice, a voice which conservatives have mocked on the radio for three hours a day for the last 16 years, can they do something to make Lena Lamont lose hers?
Of course, Hillary said the right thing, nothing. Obama should have said a bit more nothing than he did.

What can they say? McCain timed this perfectly. No bump for you, Obama!

Another good thing about all this, is that, after seeing how Hilary was thrown under the the bus and when they the inevitable treatment of Pailn, maybe more women in this country will finally see what the Democratic party really thinks of them. “Here’s your abortion, now shut up and get back in the bedroom”.

Harsh, but there’s some truth in it!

I believe there’s a VERY GOOD chance that Hillary, Bill and their daughter will vote for McCain/Palin – it wouldn’t surprise me – in fact, it just might be that many DEM’s will change course -

One day of niceness and then the bloodletting will begin. Dems and the liberal media will spare no expense and stop at nothing to make Palin out to be the mother of Satan.
Who was the one justice Obama could not stand? The black Republican, i.e. traitor. Which woman will have her eyes scratched out by Hillary? You guessed it!

KBells: Post #4 was classic. I read it to my wife and house guests this evening, and they didn’t stop laughing for over 5 minutes. Thanks!

I want to hear Jerry Springer’s reaction! Custody cases can be rough, but never so hairy as in Alaska. Father-son taser sessions, interventions by in-laws and the governor herself. Perhaps we’ll get more details at McCain’s townhalls in Ohio.
This does a world of good for McCains $100 million image. Forget evangelicals. With one swoop, he’s down and dirty with the white working class of Ohio. From 2nd place beauty to pop. 6,000 (wasn’t there a crime novel by that name?) to recreational motors to the West Wing. Oh year, the University of Idaho along the way! McCain is a bad maverick.

And, according to Fred Barnes, Ms. Palin line-item vetoed 13% of Alaska’s budget last year. When you think about it, of the four, only Palin has executive experience.

Man, you people are reaching.
Fyne, I’m one of those of whom you speak, and I couldn’t be happier. McCain’s picked an obscure political neophyte and put her a heartbeat away from the presidency. Obama’s second-in-command has years and years of national experience.
McCain’s age and health mean there’s a realistic chance that if he wins, Palin may end up serving a good portion of term. Sane voters will have to consider that in making their choice.
If McCain wanted a conservative woman, Kay Bailey Hutchinson was right there for him to pick. Instead he went for the conservative woman with minimal experience, which puts his own judgment in serious question.
I’m amused at the confident pronouncemnet some of you rightists have made about how upset and scared and angry etc. we must be. Thou doth protest too much.
KBells: How did Hillary get “thrown under the bus?” She ran neck-and-neck with Obama for almost the entire primary season, and she lost fair and square, and not by much. Nobody did anything improper to her.
I’d have liked to see her as Obama’s VP, but he didn’t owe it to her, and made his decision for his own reasons.

I was referring to the vicious attacks she endured from the MSM, Rev. Wright and the bloggers on this site. You’d have thought she was a Republicans they some people talked about her.

I’ll tell you why KBH wasn’t the best choice–because she’s another senator. I thought I read this is the first time two senators have run against each other. “Balancing” the ticket with someone with at least some executive experience is a good idea. Especially since you’ve got three men who’ve only worked for the government or government-based entities whether it was in the Chicago wards or the US military. Palin at least has business experience.

SteveG: Nice try, but I can hear you guys wailing in my sleep. We’re reaching? Ha! From Scroop Moth’s little story about Wasili which turned out to be another pile of crap that had nothing to do with Palin (btw, good job Chalzz, for actual attempt at research), to you pretending that her experience pales in comparison to Obama’s inexperience is simply pathetic, but hilarious, so carry on.
You honestly think Biden will last more than a few seconds in people’s thoughts? Pretend you’re happy all you want, but every single time that you leftards bring up her so-called inexperience, Obama’s astounding inexperience (not to mention practical unawareness that simply indicates future incompetence) will see the intense brightness of the spotlight. My point is, this will simply be a race of Palin vs. Obama. Biden’s experience (which contains a horrible voting record btw,) will simply be an afterthought. I really wish the Dems start playing the experience card. Yesterday, me and my friends watched in amazement as “respectable” liberal pundits showed up on O’Reilly to alert the crowd of her love for Moose soup. Oh yeah, you guys are piiiissed, and it’s beautiful to watch.

Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Good woman, but you can’t say stuff like that and pretend you’re not reaching.

Fyne, conservatives are NRO are making the argument fairly eloquently that in this pick the 72 year old McCain is being arrogant and cynical. See Shannon Coffin and Ramesh Ponneru. The choice has some serious downsides which I don’t expect the WMB’ers to get because all they can see is abortion.
KBells, on Hillary, she’ll be gracious as Obama was yesterday to Palin, but wait a few days and she’ll attack Palin with as much fervor as any other dem.

With your reasoning:
“The choice has some serious downsides which I don’t expect the WMB’ers to
get because all they can see is abortion.”
One can turn that around and say “We don’t expect the liberals to ‘get it’ because all they can see is continued abortion, same sex marriage, and taxing anyone so they don’t have to pay for Ins, etc – all they can SEE is a free ride, continued killing of infants, etc. – they don’t ‘get it’ –
CB, we do ‘get it’ we don’t agree with the DEM’s and they disagree with us – we will see who wins the election – we all ‘get it’ – we all have strong convictions and beliefs –

. . . nothing to do with Palin . . . She was the mayor, a supposed crusader for good government. Thus, she had some relation to the town’s lousy land deal, even if being mayor was only a part-time ceremonial job. She didn’t even warn of the peril, because she was part of a lazy Republican welfare state based on oil money, too slow-witted to stay a jump ahead of the players in the lower 48. That’s her minimum culpability. (We’re on our way to documenting lies.)
experience
FYNE JR, you might truly believe that Palin has more experience relevant to being president than Obama, and you might be right. But that’s not the end of the story. What was McCain thinking? Does he believe Palin is sufficiently experienced to become president? Do his wise advisors? The evidence indicates that McCain doesn’t care about experience, because he thinks he needs a political craps shoot. Politics before country.
WaPost editorial board, a McCain supporter, says: Not long ago, no less a Republican strategist than Karl Rove belittled Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine as a potential running mate for Barack Obama, noting that picking him would appear “intensely political” because Mr. Kaine’s experience consisted of only three years as governor preceded by the mayoralty of Richmond, which Mr. Rove called “not a big town.”
Richmond has a population of more than 200,000
McCain is a cynical, reckless man. He’s also wrong and confused.

Scroop Moth: She was not a supposed crusader for good government. She is, and she has the record to prove it. Now if you’re gonna pin a corruption story on her, do it. But you are even more deluded (than you usually are) if all you’ve got is an incredibly lazy “well, she’s the mayor of that town.” You’re wasting time. Obama is the senator of Illinois. The land I live in. The land where the next government incompetence/corruption story is almost a daily affair. Trust me, just bring up one of those affairs, and Wasili would be the last thing on your mind.
What was McCain thinking? What are you talking about? Obama gave what was supposed to be a historic speech, and literally McCain wiped out the impact of that speech in one move, overnight. People have forgotten Obama’s speech. They’re now talking about Palin. Heck even the term “Moose soup” is probably a more popular search on yahoo than Obama. Dismay is the last thing on his mind right now.

“Obama’s second-in-command has years and years of national experience.”
First, he’s a plagiarist. And a repeat offender.
Second, have you ever watched and listened to him on the Sunday morning shows? If this is one of the Democrats “best and brightest”, as he claims, well…
If he is so smart, why hasn’t he learned anything. I will give him being smarter than Sen. Barbara Boxer.
78% of Democrats approved of Obama’s choice of Biden? I just don’t see it. I don’t see it.

Yes, he is. And McCain’s an adulterous wife-swapper, which seems to be fine with you all as long as he’s not a Democrat.
Biden may not write all his own words, but I’d rather have him in the Oval Office than Palin if it were necessary.

Fyne Jr still ignores a legitimate question — what contribution did Mayor Palin make to good government with respect to the sports center land deal? She left her little town 19 months ago with a mess What was her connection to it? Heaven forbid she caused it! O.K. then, did she warn against it, counsel a better course, demand accountability, change practices? You tell us, if she’s such a wonderful reformer that you want to catapult her into the White House.
The fact that she was the part-time mayor (at $75K) makes this a valid question. I’m not the only screw-ball whose gonna ask it, and sooner or later the McCain campaign is going to have to answer.

Moth, you’ve been hunting for stories from Alaska, and you have found several which tickle you silly. Have you not heard that Palin stood up to corrupt government? – there are plenty of sour grapes who spew stories just for you and a few others –
You better concern yourself with a guy like Obama who believe and make remarks that we have 57 states, that he can’t remember what his pastor taught, and he graduated from Harvard, I wonder just how that happened? He doesn’t have much background, and then there’s the pesky Gamaliel Foundation and Alinsky.

Hillary can say just so much and she has to phrase it properly or she’ll appear like a jealous older woman, which is not pretty.
