    The republicons have let the racist genie out of the bottle. And now they have to ride the tiger.

      I would like to think that McCain would lose this election on his own,"merits", but adding a dimwit to the ticket sure won't hurt.

      If he were smart, he'd drop kick her off of his ticket. This is just so absurd.

      " Her supporters think that if the Republican ticket loses on November 4, she should run for president in 2012."

      I'll say a little prayer that that happens.

      Sarah Palin is a bigot and has spread it to the people who have wanted to hear what she has to say, but they really wanted to hear it from McCain. When he didn't deliver, she did, and now she has that crazy bunch of rednecks worked into such a froth they are calling for Obama's assassination.

      That woman is a pure idiot. McCain would have probably stood a chance if he hadn't chosen her as his running mate. People wanted a woman, she braged about her pit bull status, and she is a bully, no mistaking that. She is feeding this frenzy and anything that happens, is on her head, whether it's McCain's loss or an attempt on Obama's life by some of her rabid fans.

        I'll say this about McCain not backing this crap.

        If he would have stood up to Bush and his jackals this way I would have voted for the man !!!!!!!!

        He has finally found his balls and is standing up and saying hell no !!!! Good for you John !!!

        Yes Obama is a decent man, and you know what John you are showing what you once were too.

        That is a John McCain that would have been able to reach across the aisles. An honorable John McCain, the one who didn't let his drive get in the way of his honor and beliefs.

        To bad we didn't see this earlier John, You coulda been a contender !!!!!

          What is sad is that McCain is now relying on the SAME PEOPLE who trashed him in the 2000 primaries AND HE KNOWS IT!! You can see it in his eyes some times. He knows he sold out to the devil to try and get elected. Like at that one campaign stop where he had to grab the mike out of that right wing bitches hand. What is really scary is that if he wins you know damn well who he is indebted to. God help us if he does win. Pray,please pray, to God that he stays healthy for four years. If he can't complete his term guess who gets the launch codes?? God have mercy on us!!

            Palin is the "excited voice" that goes nowhere.

            Now she has turned into a slander machine. What will they try next?

            (Palin is filthy.)

            If McCain drops Palin from the ticket, it could salvage his reputation. He picked a person who could not articulate the issues and only knows how to attack and attack some more.

            Now we really see what the base of the republican party is. A scary bunch.

              Picking Palin sure says something about McCain's judgment (or absolute lack thereof).

              Letting Palin ramble on so long with her Palinopsia in clear view shows even more about McCain's poor judgment. I think we all owe Sarah Palin a great debt of gratitude for showing what a McCain presidency would be like.

              Look at her list of lies repeated over and over. "I told Congress thanks but no thanks for that bridge to nowhere." "Obama pals around with terrorists." "Obama voted 94 times to raise taxes." "Even on middle class every day working Americans making $42,000 a year, he voted to raise those taxes." And the list just goes on and on.

              Add to that the fact she claimed that the Troopergate investigation was a partisan witch hunt. The Legislature's committee doing the investigation consisted of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats, and they unanimously found her guilty of violating Alaska ethics law. In response, she said, "I am so pleased that I have been cleared of all wrongdoing."

              Clearly, the woman has a serious problem telling the difference between an outright lie and something even close to the truth.

              I have doubts that McCain really is against this. I mean, someone said "terrorist" at his rally and he didn't say a thing.

              And when that woman said Obama was an Arab, anyone notice that he didn't explicitly say he was not?

                  I agree with will1313 this is a set up. I don't trust the RNC at all. They are too good at campaigning to appear this bad. Opinions on candidates oscillate during the campaign, peaks and valley's. I would not be surprised to find out that the RNC artificially created a valley just prior to the election just so they could generate a peak right on election day. Too bad they can't be as good at governing as they are at campaigning.

                    There is no fight in McCain. It was probably tortured out of him in Hannoi to the point where he can't due any confrontation. So, what it comes down to is, we either have to pick a broken man afraid to defend himself, or, a socialist and a terrorist appeaser. God help us.

                    I am having a hard time understanding where people get Obama is Muslim! Just because of his middle name? So by that logic could someone with a German last name be called a Nazi? And how is he a Muslim and yet everyone wants to start talking about his Christian Pastor? Just wondering a bit...

                    According to the Chinese Consulate of Economic Affairs, John McCain is suffering from "Erection Dysfunction"

                    ... nobody knows for sure, however, if he meant "Election or Erection."
