I agree with Buggyone. It was a risky move for McCain to give the nod to Palin as VP, and it cost him the election. Hopefully Republicans have learned from this. Bachmann may be photogenic, but she has waaaaay too much baggage.

The part of history that everyone is rewriting is that John McCain's campaign was in the toilet UNTIL he picked the "much loved" by the media Gov. Sarah Palin for his vice-presidential candidate. Much loved?; yes because of the way she went after the corrupt oil interests and their Republican benefactors in her state of Alaska and got those Republicans thrown out. She was a media darling and was much touted in liberal publications like Newsweek and Time.

But once she became national and now a threat to The One in his bid to be President, all her folksy steadfast all-American charm was transmogrified in her now being portrayed in that same media as a stupid hick from the outer reaches of this country without a brain in her head.

Despite all the vile slander on the character of this woman she still remains the one figure who can guarantee huge crowd turnout no matter where she goes; and no matter where she goes she upstages anyone else there merely by her presence.

When it comes to speaking about true American values and dedication to God and country, there's hardly another public figure who articulates American greatness with the panache of Gov. Palin. No wonder her adversaries had to destroy her. She scares the living daylights out of them.

I do not believe the left-wing propaganda that Palin lost the election. Look at the clown that ran with Barack Hussein Obama. The media and so called minorities won it for Obama. I say it again:Palin didn't lose it, the minorities and the uninformed won it.

Yes, I agree that the minorities were probably instrumental in winning it for Obama. And of course, Oprah influences a lot of people! Somehow Biden seemed to slide under the radar, perhaps because he is male, I wonder. At the same time, the media was instrumental in ridiculing Palin. Katie Couric, Tina Fey on SNL ... and Palin provided them with lots of ammunition.

Biden provided them with lots of ammunition but because he is a male democrat he gets a free pass? If I was a female, I would be totally outraged at the hypocrisy of the media.

Which "P" Are You Talking About?
 

Geez, Richie, didn't you use all those same superlatives describing Rick Perry?

Did I write something in error? Or is it that you're simply tiring of my prose?
