The Republicans seem to have brains the size of reptiles. They are one exception to evolution, they don't get any smarter.

I watched the speech........the twisted perspectives I am hearing are unbelievable. This woman has no plan only insults!! Are republicans voting for her only because she is a woman? Where is the substance? Were there no other strong republican women available?

Both Parties took a Serious Turn in the 50's and 60's and that is something that hurt the Republicans because they venture back to the Past to much. Reagan was Good to Go but they venture back to the 80's. My Homestate of Maryland was a Slave State and now Maryland is one of the Most Affluent Areas for African Americans. Republicans need New Ideas because when you lok at them the Stereotype seems to be the Party of Southern White Men and thats because now they are Non Inclusive.

IMO Sarah Palin gave a Great Speech but if you go back to the Speech it was Nothing but "REDMEAT for the Crowd" and then on the Stump she repeated the same speech and then on the Stump she didn't do anything but talk about Barack Obama and that Hurt the McCain/Palin Ticket. But to be Honest I did give her the Benefit of the Doubt because the women does Great Work in Alaska.

i wonder how people feel about Mccain's choice now.

[kmartingirls]

I normally lean toward the dems but in this election I am just simply voting for Sarah not even McCain. Obama is not right for me and Biden did not even want to be VP!

I have a question. I'm black too and a progressive. I am not a democrat. Could you please illuminate for me the conservative policies you believe in. I'm just curious.

[joegully]

The republican party was created on the basis on abolishing slavery while the democrat party strongly favors slavery.

[joegully]

Absolutely disgraceful. Sen McCain has disappointed me in picking a nobody just bec ause he wants to capture the women's vote in which made to women look like fools. This is an insult to the REAL REPUBLICAN PARTY. These counterfit conservatives has jumped on the bandwagon over a M.I.L.F.
