Mo Democratic Party, McCaskill target Palin
This evening, the Missouri Democratic Party sent out the following statement:
“The choice of Sarah Palin is a transparent and desperate attempt to convince voters hungry for real change that John McCain would provide something other than four more years of George Bush’s policies,” said Jack Cardetti, Missouri Democratic Party spokesman.
”The choice of Palin can’t cover up the fact McCain has opposed legislation to help women seeking equal pay for equal work or McCain’s opposition to funding programs to stop violence against women,” Cardetti said.
“Maybe she can tell John McCain why it was wrong to vote against funding child care for working mothers or why it was wrong for McCain to suggest that women don’t deserve equal pay as men, just more education.”
”In this rare case we agree with Roy Blunt, who recently told reporters he thinks the Republican VP has to be someone with extensive experience,” Cardetti said.
Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., offered this take:
“While it’s great to have a woman on the national ticket, this is not the right woman to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Most women in America disagree with Gov. Palin on the issues and the last thing we need is another Big Oil Republican in Washington DC.”
Palin, a “big oil Republican? Please back that up with facts? Can you, Hell No. Can McCakill? Hell No.
McCakill TARGETS Palin, In a shoot out I’ll bank on Palin. Palin is a moose and elk hunter, if she targets McCaskill, McCaskill is a dead moose.
Of course Palin follows the law she doesn’t target anyone is irrlevent as McCakill. The goes after bigger game.
Have a nice weekend all.
Extensive experience? Doing what? When Blunt speaks of experience, perhaps, he can explain why all those experienced republicans with control of both houses of congress and the presidency accomplished very little. As to McCaskill, and you can throw in the Carnahans (do any of those people work outside of government?), Cleaver, Jay Nixon, Clay, et al, ask yourself would I hire these people? JOHN MCCAIN and SARAH PALIN are the RIGHT people at the right time. The next president is going to inherit a tremendous mess from “w” and it’s way beyond “the obamessiah’s” pay grade!
Sen. McCaskill:
You were a working mother while prosecuting attorney. Stay out of the Palin bashing.It can hurt you at your re-elction camapaign.
Come on now, McCaskill, is it your view that becasue this little lady’s husband is a blue collar oil field worker,your going to hang a Big Republican Oil tag on her?
Claire is a joke, just like always she will say and do whatever it takes to win an election. I think all of her support for Obamanation will hurt her come next election. Obama, wasn’t raised by his mother, she left him like his dad and she sent him home from Indonesia to live with the grandparents. His time in Indonesia is when he practiced the muslim religion. Oh, go to youtube and search for obama’s grandma. He say’s “I am my brothers keeper, I am my sister’s keeper.” Apparently, he isn’t his grandmother’s keeper, she lives in a hut in Kenya. You know Kenya the country that ranks as one of the top terrorist nations in the world. In the video all of his family brags about how if he wins, he will do great things for Kenya.
I will have to disagree with Sen. Mccaskill, I believe that most women in America agree with Gov. Palin on the issues anb will come out to vote for her in nov.
I agree. Palin has a rep for taking on big oil at times, as well as confronting corruption. I like her pick. Bold? Yes. She does have to demonstrate a knowledge of national/international issues, and show she can be well spoken and stand up to the brunt of the national spotlight. We”ll see, but I look forward to hearing more from her.
Claire has a right to her opinions. How much national/international experience has she had to help make her an expert on pres qualifications. Get ready. More efforts will me made to cast Palin as an ignorant, right wing kook. Personally, I am ashamed McCaskill is from MO.
Sorry, McCaskill is right. Please no more creationist loons from the Republican party in higher office.
I agree with Sen. McCaskill.
This was about the worst judgment any leader could have and, the decision is selfish on the parts of all involved.
McCain is an extremely risky candidates for this country and the two of them together is an even more risky and beyond that, totally lacking of common sense.
It’s here we go again just like with our current President George Bush, when Evangelicals are happy, you can bet that we are in trouble and they are in bliss with Vice President choice of Palin. Their good intentions are disastrous and dangerous. These Evangelicals are blind to their error way of thinking, especially in spiritual matters.
McCain is mainly attempting to appease this group of Evangelical Christians but at the same time recruit women who supported Hillary and are disgruntled by Obama being the Democratic nominee which is foolish and poor judgment to think was worthwhile. McCain and the Republican regime is attempting to kill one bird with two stones with no thought about what is best for this country or Palin’s family. They have absolutely no thought for the best interests and good for her newborn “Down Syndrome Baby”. How can people who claim to be so religious and so into family values be so conflicted? There is only one reason why and it is because these people are a bunch of hypocrites following after their own warped desires and mind, not God’s. They will stoop to ANY means to attempt to accomplish their goals. Have these people learned nothing from Bush and his administration, how about history, how about religious people of our past? Do they follow what they teach of christ words, NO, they are just like the Pharisees.
I heard an Evangelical leader of a Baptist sect say today that Palin was great Evangelical Christian. If the claims that she is being investigated for are true, then these blind Evangelicals need to open their eyes and see the contradiction in what she hold her self out to be and what she really is. But, how do these religious leaders or anyone know anything without the investigation being complete? I can tell you right now no matter what the outcome of the investigation, it doesn’t matter with these Pharisee type Evangelicals because most of them too are conflicted and are in error.
Palin being the mother of a newborn “Downs Syndrome” baby and aspiring to further her career before being with her special needs baby paints the true picture of her character, enought red flags there along. She is a conflicted individual just as most of these Evangelicals.
Then we have McCain with his bouts of cancer and age going against him. This is just plain risky and crazy, these two people running as our leaders.
Old Age, Sickness (Cancer), “Mother with a Newborn Down’s Syndrome Baby”…
What a complete mess to have as leaders of the United States, they are bringing with them great stress into the job in the way of their personal lives outside of the stress that the job alone brings being President and Vice President of the United States.
You guys remind me of when Pilate asked the crowd, “Which one of these two do you want me to set free for you, Barabbas! They answered. They chose a crazy murderer over Jesus because of their dark wrong hearts. This is what you people remind me of, those like that in that crowd
D. Walker–
You’re setting a new bar for out-stupiding yourself again.
10 paragraphs of jibberish!

Ms. Palin’s resume:
1. small town mayor
2. part of committee that gives state goodies to oil and gas industry, busts up “old boys” for her “new boys” while being there, calls it “maverick!” like McCain.
3. Governor of state with population less than St. Louis County for 20 months and signs deal with Oil and Gas for pipeline for billions just before she’s picked for veep by a guy who took in over $2 million last month from the opil and gas folks.
She’s the Hamid Kharzai of the US; Big Oil and gas all the way!
No experience!
KKKarl Rove and his K Street and Big Oil cronies win again!
McCain is STILL too ignorant to be President!

BobZ,
You forgot to tell us your thoughts concerning John McCain’s pick of Patlin for his running mate as V.P. Do you have any thoughts that you are capable of expressing including why you feel the way you do? Give it a try, being the brilliant man that you imagine yourself to be.
