John McCain announce Sarah Palin as his running VP

[bradyisbeast12]

well then we are all in their debt

[shussey100]

She can't even spell her own name.

[bradyisbeast12]

i'd like to meet mccain's liberal friend who got him drunk the day he made that decistion!

[14DaveHunter]

@bradyisbeast12

It could've been Joe Liberman or Charlie Crist. Both turned in McCain in a hurry.

[bushanta1]

Sarah Palin recieved more votes for Gov. of Alaska than Joe Biden did in his Presidential run, and Sarah Palin has more executive experience than McCain, Obama, Biden combined! Obama didn't even run so much as a leamonade stand.

[MystikWizard]

And ...... things went all downhill from there.

[rigso321]

haha, and this is when his crediblity and campaign went to shit, nice job! I thought he should have picked a woman, but an experienced one like Hutchinson, once the economy hit the thought of this woman near the helm was a nightmare to many

[chiefofsages]

Agreed.  I was going to vote democrat anyway, but he could've increased his chances MUCH more if he had chosen someone with SOME experience (2 years of being a governor of one of the lowest-populated states?) Like you said, Hutchinson would've been better. Once I saw Palin, I knew he was going to lose. With a different candidate, I would've at least been sweating...

[jordan484]

lol they lost!!!!!!!!!

[izzy1985]

i love sarah p!

[violeteves]

God, watching McCain/Palin brings back memories of My Fair Lady.

[happypigeon333]

Oh, shut up. Palin dominates.

[rds020790]

I think it's so arrogant of this dipshit McCain to say.. "The next Vice President of the united states"... what an arrogant asshole. I can't stand him and I hope he falls on his face in the November elections

[PiCkUrGeaR]

he will

[BPFxxx561]

fuck you, you suck.

McCain '08!

[rds020790]

McCain 08? What? Is that year he'll last be alive? It doesn't matter.. he won't be president anyways.

[CUBANO76]

This is very scary that you americans would want to choose a hockey mom to be vice president, what would happen if maccain dies? would a hockey mom be capable to run your country? i think not. I dont know what maccain is thinking along with many americans. This is crazy.

[mottigga]

Hey, CUBAN. Equally as scary is that there are Americans here that would rather choose a rag-head to be in office, one with LESS experience than even Gov. Palin. So keep your opinions on American government to yourself down there in your shithole island country.

[CUBANO76]

lol. who says i live in an island? and who says my name stands for cuban? I bet you are voting for palin. lol.

[waterman1976]

@mottigga

careful man, america is already on it's way to becoming a shithole.  and you only have china and overpopulation to thank. you may not have a reason to be so arrogant in the coming future.

[SonOfSam3]

Vote McCain/Naughty Librarian 2008

[Skaflar]

I'm leaning towards Obama, but I saw this on a bumper sticker two days ago and couldn't help but laugh:

Mccain/MILF '08!

Epic lawlz.

[njyac81]

naughty librarian..lol

[MirceaDabacan]

The democrats are desperate now. I watched her speech on CNN, and when she was done the liberal political analysts were SPEECHLESS!!! They were prepared to attack her, and at the end they couldn't say a bad word against her.

I came in US from a former communist country (I know from my own bad experience what liberalism and socialism is!), and I am so glad to see a woman like Sarah Palin to stand up for the american values.

I am proud to be an american!

God Bless America!

[mnimize]

Delivered well but no substance ... scripted and caustic. How will she actually shake up Washington? By yelling at people in a shrill tone? By mocking and insulting? No particular talent needed to be a noise maker. It speaks volumes that Sen. McCain chose this person as his second.

[WoahhDoode]

Im proud to be a Canadian but that Sarah Palin is HOTT XD!!

[MirceaDabacan]

Well, everybody is saying that. :)

[GilyMac]

yeah she sure can give a hell of a speech... ya know when SOMEONE WRITES IT FOR HER.... did you see her only interview she did on ABC...she is as dumb as a box of rocks... she didnt even know what the bush doctrine was... good thing mccain picked someone as qualified as her.... yeah she has been governor of one of the smallest states for 18 months and before that she was a mayor.. the only reason democrats fear this c*nt is because McBush campaign is using the SEXISM card..... give me a break.

[darkforestelf06]

Its all so clear that McCain is USING yes i said USING a female vice president because Obama gave his chance away for Hillary, Keep in mind that McCain hasnt meet in person with Palin until he chose her for VP. That's Hysterical, selecting a female figure from Alaska, I dont like the fact she is being taken advantage of, im sure she is a lovely woman. McCain stares at her like shes a part of his race and not as his VP, he doesnt even know her that well! McCain thats very lousy, and its obvious!

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Palin will be the trump card that hand it to McCain on a silver platter. Palin is GOD's CHOSEN ONE because GOD HERSELF see to it that a woman will become VP and later President long before an African American becomes president. Palin will fulfill GOD's word and will because GOD herself said so.

McCain will unfortunately croak and Palin will inevitably be THE 1st woman president. Even Hillary will not be able to win against Palin in 2012. GOD will see to it that it happens.

[Ksjct]

YAY!! now john mccain will never get elected!

[MicheasTheMighty]

Sarah Palin has the privilege of being the first running-mate that men would like to bone.

[moviecritic0]

live her kid out of it M.Y.O.B

[stanleysteama]

WE ARE IN CRISIS! Stand up and just say NO. DO NOT VOTE!

American's that loves this Nation SHOULD NOT VOTE. Reject the system & refuse to vote. If everyone refused to vote it would void the system, force a reset & a gentle revolution.

Power seekers like McCain & Obama cannot help any of us. We are all going to sink together with this status quo. Gridlock will remain & the ridiculous debates on morality issues will never be resolved.

AMERICA THE BRAVE -- DO NOT VOTE!

[Ksjct]

...communist...

[MirceaDabacan]

I totally agree! Everybody that would like to vote with Obama should stay home in sign of protest and not vote.

[MirceaDabacan]

Sarah Palin's daughter will get married with that guy. So what's the problem?

Yes, she had sex but she takes responsibility for her act.

Not like the former president of US that said... "I've never had sex with that woman", even if she sucked his... sex-ophon.

Palin's daughter was FREE TO CHOOSE, and instead of killing that baby she chose to keep it, regardless of the democrats that are looking for everything to destroy her mother's political career.

[vincentvendetta1]

Not a discussion of abortion, though that's a different topic,but it's about how Republicans are always touting Family Values yet the VP's daughter is a minor and preg,regardless if she's marrying him or not is just not the kind of Role Model of a Parent to endure.Not only that,she says"I can balance my blackberry and breastpump well",YET...her daughter is preg.Meaning she really can't balance important responsibilities and one of them is being VP. Let alone earlier she didn't know what a VP is.

[MirceaDabacan]

People are making mistakes regardless of their political view. And, don't forget, it wasn't Palin but her daughter that got pregnant.

The difference is that the rep. have the straight to take the responsibility for their acts.

And everything that you see in media against Palin because of her daughter is going to back fire on Obama.

Every american family has problems and by making fun of them you will not win in the long run.

[a77mercury]

hey did you McCain trolls win your brownie points today for posting? check it out folks: McCain pays people in brownie points to make positive postings for him....I heard the winner will get a genuine baby from VP Sarah Palin herself...she's apparently going to give birth any minute...her family apparently produces offspring faster than a chowder of feral cats in heat.

[captaindiesalot]

Sounds like your family...

[hraban77]

Actually mothers are supposed to look after their kids.

Maybe she should have educated her about contraception.

[strongestgeorge]

Dear Republicans,

What does this say about Republican values - teenagers aren't supposed to have sex.

Do you want to say, "Oh, it is a personal issue"?

[skyisred1]

What were you doing as a teenager?

[cruxvader]

I have a PEEEEEnis.

[merdok1993]

Wow, you people are just too rude. This simply isn't American the way people are acting over her. Learn something about her then comment. Just because you like Obama doesn't mean you have to write comments like, "Palin is just a beauty queen with no brains"

[brnsktingdieskting18]

lmfao fail!!!! she's way outta your league Mccain. LOLZ!!!

[BaBaBBoey]

She sure will need classes on what the V.P. does. Another Quayle in the in making.

[1955jmp]

Love her

[djarm67]

Does Sarah Palin believe that the universe is approx. 6000 years old?

Does she believe that man and dinosaurs co-existed a few thousand years ago?

Does she think that the Discovery Institute is a scientific organisation or has ever discovered anything?

Would she oppose any attempt by pseudo-science organisations to push a "teach te controversy" doctrine into science classes?

[DanielLyon54]

It's the Theme to "Rudy"

[DanielLyon54]

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SONG? LOL HELP

[vincentvendetta1]

Palin is just a beauty queen and has no brains. She sucked and fucked her way to be Governer and has an 'open-leg' policy for the Big Oil to drill her Downsyndrome-producing pussy. And McCain likes that.

[tyisw00t]

how intelligent you Obamite...stop being so ignorant and stupid and get off the internet with that crap

McCain/Palin 08

[mk150890]

Cleverly said my friend. You are a brilliant satirist. You remind me of geniuses such as Erasmus and Thomas More. She is very hot though, you have to admit.

[captaindiesalot]

You know Vince, you're just a fat slob. This is uncalled for. You could never get away with this to her husbands face. I just love cowards like you. Stick to the stretch pants.

[vincentvendetta1]

Her husband? Oh you mean the former BIG OIL executive?

[ecwaufisxtreme]

No, the BIG OIL laborer! Todd is Palin's BITCH and PUSSY! He is no exec. His wife is! She wears the pants in the Palin family while he is in the skirt! This shows that men are inferior pussies to women. XX is genetically superior to XY!!!

[MirceaDabacan]

I agree. But wait and see when this attitudine is going to back fire.

I am romanian, but I learned a word in US that's very wise: What goes around comes around.

Just wait and see... :)

[RubenDarioMONSALVE]

I am also looking for the name of the music... anyone knows? thanx

[frigoria]

Peggy Hill POTUS, it gives you the hives just to think about it

[bootney66]

Sen. McCain had to LITERALLY read her name off of a sheet of paper in front of him!!!

[GomerPial]

watch?v=1UEOZGFzPas

[MGR1900]

Does anyone know the name of the music that was used here?

[randnelson]

What is the song being played as she walks out?

[Skyjuice70]

THANKYOU JOHN McCAIN !!! You're the Best. As an Obama supporter, I couldnt be more happier. This is the person you choose to run the white house if you were president and something happened to you? After meeting with her just once, you choose Palin?? an unknown, with 5 kids and a infant baby with down syndrome? So I guess it didnt occur to you that a infant with special needs would need its mother full time. You have proved to us how well your judgement is. lol. Thanks again Mr McCain. hehehe.

[RussX5Z]

This is so ODD! She makes Hilary Clinton look smart. They BETTER NOT WIN!! Obama/Biden '08!!

[knitbeast]

amazing - fabulous - refreshing - go McCain/Palin!!!!

[laxkid458]

okay mccain is going to be our next president and palin is our next vice so deal with it!

[hraban77]

Do you mean everybody should move to Canada? LOL

[aarfeld]

An interesting choice who brings both additions and deficits to McCain's campaign. But the monkey business has already started: The editors at Wikepedia made public that someone went to her page early this morning, before the announcement (8/29), and edited out all negative references to make her profile more appealing. Although it was well re-written, all critical views were edited from the page. It has since been locked to all outside editing; only Wiki's editors may now change the content.

[EEZYMEEZY]

WOW thats So Typical........ Here we go.

[buckstawordup]

Don't worry...all politicians break their promises. Don't get too excited about any of them doing anything for you unless your on welfare and too lazy to work. You will be sorely dissappointed. I will still be in Iraq fighting the good fight for you.

[EEZYMEEZY]

Or if your a Multi Millionaire or A Huge Corporation or an Oil company or If your Halliburton. Truth be told Ive been in many poor Neighborhoods and doesnt look like a president has done shit for them in a very long time.

[buckstawordup]

You are a sick individual. People need to do for themselves-there are many programs to help people. I too have been to cabrini green-chi town, the ghettos in philly, new york, boston, and orlando among others in small towns across the country with community leaders such as pastors, etc. The government can not help those who do not want to help themselves. I come from a broken home, below middle class, and the government has NEVER given me any help and I am doing well. You are sick!

[EEZYMEEZY]

When you were in the Hood did you pay attention. If you did you would easily recognize the that the government has abandoned poor people. In the last 7yr the Rich Elite and Major corporations hs down better than they have ever done. While the poor and middle class has done worse. And your right I am sick.... and Tired. Of people that are blessed with opportunity look back then as if they are better than those that were not as fortunate. If you made it out of the Hood thats good. Now help others.

[buckstawordup]

Keep your hands out of my pockets you dirty stinking filthy swine communist thief. I know what it is like to have nothing and to earn and work my way out of it. 70-100 hours of work each week, 7 days a week, no vacations for 10 years. Do you know what it is to work hard to earn? F U !Handicapped and retarded people need help and I will glady help them. Lazy dirty commie theifs like yourself need to be taken outside and executed for the crimes you have committed.Damn YOU!Go smoke your crack

[soulsoup1234]

You cry like a little girl .. shut up and make me a sandwich.

[buckstawordup]

Sure I will make you a sandwich laced with hemlock or anthrax.

[EEZYMEEZY]

I never said anything about your pockets. What are you saying? I think you Veiw of the world is to grounded in Bitterness and Fear. No one wants to take what you have. Wow You are Crazy... I think you are retarted Because you fear things that arent there and Hear things that were never said. You draw your Conclusion before you research. You are handicapped by your own contempt towards people that have done nothing to you.... Propaganda is the reason why you hate poor people..

[buckstawordup]

You make so many assumptions about me that it only displays your true thoughts and feelings. Keep believing what you will about me.  You don't even understand how things work. So stay lazy and keep wishing you had what others worked hard to get. And please sneak into someone's house who owns a gun.

[hraban77]

Very, well said.

[skyisred1]

No, America has abandoned poor people. We put the government in charge and have gotten what we deserve. Why do you think that bringing down the rich will help the poor? This is the price of opputunity. We need to teach the poor these lessons instead of telling them they can't do it on their own. Over 90% of millionairs in this country are self made.

[MirceaDabacan]

While you have two hands, two legs and a head, what do you want the goverment to do for you than lowering your taxes?

The State is not the Church! You can not aspect the State to do that the Church does.

[hraban77]

Aspect? What aspect?

Anyway, both conservative and liberal approaches to the function of the state have their merits. But claiming we don't need the state at all is b.s. though because than we are back to stone age and killing each other.

In any case giving big oil billions of tax breaks because they paid for the reelection of Bush or giving Haliburton a no bid contract because the current VP is a former executive of it is not conservative. This is corruption.

[buckstawordup]

Palin has more executive experience than Obama. She went to Iraq before Obama did. She was never a member of a racist anti-american church like Obama was. She has never had any ties to terrorists like Obama-Ayers. She did not have a convicted felon help her buy her house like Obama did. McCain/Palin ticket is less radical than Obama/Biden ticket....look at the voting records. Obama wouldnt even debate McCain but he will talk to dictators....What a liar! He is a good speaker..thats all.

[hraban77]

Palin has never been to Iraq. Palin did visit troops in _Kuwait_ in 2007.

[buckstawordup]

You are right. My typo. Did she visit the wounded troops over there?

[hraban77]

No. She had the usual photo op while visiting wounded troops in the safety of Germany though.

Anyway, I guess veterans care more about issues like the new GI bill McCain voted against than all the photo ops.

[penguinhunter]

Good thing they bused people from different cities just see this. Would have looked weird if they didn't.

Was she the best person for the job!? Nope...She was chosen just because she is a woman. Is that also a form of sexism?

I predict when McCain loses his first words in his speech will be "my friends..."

[obviousgeneralname]

Well then, you just lost the election Johnny Boy!

[moonjp]

Palin for VP? This is awesome. Palin is a reformer and she has more governing experience than Obama who has none. She's smart, has real solutions, and a great personality! No disrespect to Obama, but Palin has concrete solutions unlike Obama's rehetoric.

[hraban77]

?? What solutions does she have for the economy, energy, health care, war or education? All I can find about here is stuff about drilling for oil in the Alaska wild life refuge - a tiny reserve. She was Miss Wasilla and Miss Alaska, she has a bachelor in journalism and used her power to firing public safety commissioner Walt Monegan who once was married to her sister = small town politics. Alaska has a population of less than 680,000 people. McCain selected her just because she is a woman.

[hraban77]

Oops, she was not Miss Alaska in 1984, she just finished second. But in the Wasilla pageant, she played the flute and also won Miss Congeniality.

[knitbeast]

so what - 95% of blacks voted for Obama because he was black....what does that mean???

[EEZYMEEZY]

Check the Stats my freind. 95% voted for president clinton, John kerry, Al Gore, and any other Democratic candidate in the last 45 yrs. And if you followed the race from the beginning Blacks voted more for Hilary than Obama. However when he proved to be the most QUALIFIED.. Blacks had no problem voting for the Brother. Now My question. Did you not vote for Obama because he was Black?

[soma187]

ROFL ... Check Mate.. Obama just lost the election.

[EonE3]

hell yeah. I want Obama to win but Obama fucked up when he didn't pick Hilary for VP. Now all the women gonna flock to McCain... Obama didn't think about the votes, he only thought about the future he now lost.

[MirceaDabacan]

I recommend the following video too: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin honored to be chosen as McCain's VP

watch?v=yph-yY1Xj84

[JeremiahWrightJr]

Soccer mom for VP and when McCain croaks from being too ol she'll be our president! What a crap country we live in!

[RussX5Z]

I agree all the way!

[CindyPDX]

He is desperately only trying to get the HRC voters. But I hope they know that Palin is NO HRC!

[MirceaDabacan]

This is the best pick!

Go McCain & Palin!

[ryancat32145]

I swear to God,I am FUCKING speachless!!!!!!!!!!!Are you fucking kidding me??? If the old fart kicks the buxket then she'll be the president,you people are OUT OF YOUR MINDS!! Oh,well,good,now you can't talk shit about Obama not having any experience.She's completely wrong for the job.Sweet,this should make the election even more of a landslide for the Obama camp.I'm happy about that!

[soma187]

Actually the other way around... Obamessiah's camp shouldn't say anything about experience. Sarah Palin has executive experience as Mayor and Governor. Thats 4 more years over The Chosen One's ZILCH executive experience.

You know the whole glass houses and stone throwing saying right?

[mike1111qq]

if obama is elected nobody has to die. you have an x crack head as pres

[EonE3]

Not really... this was the perfect move for McCain. I like Obama as much as the next guy but he fucked up. Now McCain is going to win, and that Vice President will take over when McCain dies in office, and she'll cause World War 3, its been predicted.

[MirceaDabacan]

I don't think Palin will create more demage than Obama would. You guys, that were born in USA, don't know what the communism and socialism is.

McCain made the smartest choice. He just proved that he's the best to be the next president of the United States of America.

[MGR1900]

I think it's a good pick. Maybe if McCain steps down and she becomes president, the first thing she can do is sell the Democrats and all their special interests on Ebay.
