    She looks perfectly comfortable hanging out with our soldiers, and equally comfortable holding that rifle.

    Betcha neither Barack nor Biden could match that on their best day.

    I don’t know which is hotter-

    firing that assault rifle at full automatic or Governor Palin..

  • ConservaGeek

    The sexiest is the combination of the two.

    Gotta love a woman who can defend herself.

    Feeling even better about November and also starting to get ahead of myself and thinking about Palin/Jindal in ’12. Thank you, John McCain.

    Be afraid! Be very afraid, guys!

    This time, we have real woman fighter in our midst! And she doesn’t care whether you’re a republican or not!

    I grew up in Colorado. I grew up with guns. The ability to shoot a gun doesn’t equate with the ability to run the country. Where is her flag pin? I don’t know if she loves this country or just loves guns.

    Gun is not equal to presidency.

    The point of the diary is not discuss the executive experience of Sarah but to illustrate HER TOUGHNESS AS A PERSON.

    Please look for other diaries that discuss your concern.

    I bet he fills that little center now. One step away from Commander in chief, who is this lady? No Hillary Clinton. McCains first decision is pathetic. He could have done so much better. Romney! Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Someone ready to be President! Is MCCain for real?? Good luck getting behind Mrs. Cutie!

  • snottykitty

    She is a fierce opponent of abortion and a fervent proponent the teaching of creationism in schools.

    No Hillary voter with any brains or principle will go there.

    The dust will settle and the novelty will wear off. What are we left with, a provincial, completely un-international administrator to square off against Putin and Ahmadinijahd.

    8 out of 43 U.S. presidents have died in office.

    It’s a bold stunt by McCain, but a stunt non the less. …And extremely cynical and condescending to those 18 million H.R.C. voters.

    is the way Obama and his folks told them they were a bunch of losers who needed to STFU and get with the program at the DNC.

    Just yesterday you, yes, you yourself, snottykitty, said:

    If McCain was trying to capture some Clintonites..he did well with Palin, a 100% reversal of Cheney except for thhe Anti-choice issue. Truley the working persons canadate. Remarkable choice.

    Now, either you are lying now, or you were lying then. I vote for “then,” since I unmasked you with your “anti-choice” term.

    Next time, at least use a different name when you come back after being caught. We “conserveetevs” aren’t quite that stupid, Kitty.

    If you examine the news reporting from the Dayton event where she was introduced as the VP nominee you should be able to find some photos showing the large, stylish flag pin that she was wearing. If you read a bit further and check out articles/interviews from the last several years, you’ll find that her feelings for this nation are distinctly pro-American.

    The point of the this posting seems to me to be that she is comfortable operating large, powerful firearms. This suggests that she is a strong person with an adventurous streak that is confident in her abilities and supports the 2nd amendment. It offers an interesting tidbit about her personal life and beliefs. I also have experience in handling firearms (alas, not the automatic variety) and agree that it doesn’t mean you can lead the country. That wasn’t the point that Erick was making in this post.

    McCain have picked Joe Lieberman.Romney would have been a good choice except for the political baggage & sound/video bites the Dems would have used against him.all these pundits talking about experience must be assuming McCain if elected, won’t live long?
