I'm sure the Rep party knew this crap would come up. It's a distraction, Reps initiated it. It's a natural response of the Dems. No surprise.

It's more republican bullshit. All part of the show  ;)

Yes it's the Repugs fault, they're feeding everyone more shit. Screw palin, she is a joke. McCain has no chance of winning. So why not screw with the people and waste more time? They're playing with peoples minds. While the things that are important are left alone.

LOL mccain has no chance? hahah man thats a pretty ignorant statement right there its pretty even.
Im pretty sure mccain and palin and obama and biden but to a lesser extent would rather debate the issues and not mindless baseless accusations and drivel.

I'm sure they would like to debate. Its all about RATINGS. The longer this goes on more useless info is pumped out.

It doesn't help them. Makes you question why they would choose this individual. Makes you question alot of things the GOP does. They are handing Obama the presidency. GOP knows they will lose.

it is the repubs fault. For any position especially VP you don't pick someone with this much baggage. They brought this on themselves for public consumption. Why? Makes news doesn't it  ;) Anything to take the heat off of mccain and the issues.

What's new?

Months of Obama's flag pin, Obamas drug testing 25 yrs ago, Obama birth cert, Obama being black, Obama wearing some African getup, McCain being born in Panama, McCain making a mistake when speaking, fake lies of Michelle and a tape, Romney being Mormon, Obama being half-black not black, Michelle proud comment yadda yadda....

The issues have rarely been on the forefront - it's always drama talk and thats what the media does also.

Just now that Palin is giving ammo every hour, it's flipped to her.

believe what you want, between the two parties and the media. Things like this during an election are strategically placed for public consumption.

I find it hard to believe they didn't know before hand.

No. Negligence on his part.

McCain or who ever could have chosen someone better. They went through with it anyway. Now look where we are

Haha.

Seriously though... Since when is Hunting or being an NRA member being "blue collar"?

Lots of white collar people like those things... Charlton Heston wasn't a blue collar guy.

they arent a 1:1 corralation but these things are often associated with ppl with a blue collar mentality

charlton heston had a lot of blue collar appeal even though he might not have been blue collar.

I'm just saying that I bet there's a ton of white collar people (if not 50/50) who are into guns and hunting and what not... Yes, I understand the stereotype, but if people are falling into a candidate because they are being stereotyped by them, then they should reflect a bit on that.

I think stereotypes are hilarious, but don't facetiously pander to them just to win an election.
