I can't believe you would make a comment as crude as the one you did about the mother of 9 who died.. that is just plain sick. How would you feel if that was your mom and someone posted that??.. Damn dude, have a little compassion.. the woman pass away and left behind 9 children who are obviously really in need right now.. that's just wrong!! :( :( :( :( :(

Your comments are rude and very immature. May I ask your age and where you live? I'm just curious what kind of person has such anger coming off 8 years of disaster, and still backing a McCain. I am 39, from upstate NY.
Why would you want to vote for any person (man or woman) that does not know anymore than you for a position such as VP? Get real, the gender does not have anything to do with electing her in office. The fact remains that "she only have executive experience" which the word "executive" along is not enough to vote for her. She is no Hillary, and to vote for her just because she is a woman is totally humiliating to all women. I don't know about you, but I have come to far as a woman to be totally humiliating by voting for Palin just because we are both women. She is too inexperience for the job; and if some-thing was to happen to McCain, she would be next in line. I do know about you but she is not the type of person I would want my family or my life in her hands. Women need to understand this, she is a totally stranger to Americans. She was a total stranger to McCain until a week before he chose her. I know there are more qualified women than Palin and why didn't McCain chose one of those women. She might have been more accepted that someone with not experience and a total stranger. By McCain using Palin just to get women's vote, what does that say about him as a man. Truthfully, it doesn't say much for him at all; that he would use anyone to get what he wants but not what is best for the American people including women. During these trying times, it is a time that we all come together; men and women and do what is best for this our country. McCain has had his chances; don't you think after 20 years? He has more than 6 houses and cars to prove he had his chance; free medical care; and pension well beyond his years. He can't do anything for the country or us. He once was a man but now he is own his way back to being a child again.
You as dumb as Palin. She is trying to be VP not president. Immature? look at her past. Fire this one and fire that one. Hate to see her when its that time of the month. She can't even hold up on an interview. She has 5 kids including a new born with DS and a knocked up unwed 17 year old. great image for America. Maybe she should run for president
you ARE FABULOUS
