ST. PAUL – U.S. Rep. John Shimkus of Southern Illinois, an early John McCain supporter, was thrilled with running mate Sarah Palin’s speech tonight. John Shimkus

“I was so pleased,” Shimkus said. “She’s got this sarcastic little wit that I think she can stand up to anybody the Democrats can throw at her.”

Palin, Shimkus said, “did exactly what she needed to do.”

“She really drew contrasts between her life and the elitism that Democrats represent,” Shimkus said. “Talk about motivating the base. Rural America, that’s really the conservative base.”

Democrats are the elitist? What has happened when these guys can turn things completely upside down.
I can’t be a Republican, I don’t have enough money. When the party of the rich, the business interests, the chosen few, starts calling the Democrats elitists (and with a straight face) there’s something wrong.

Elitist thought… from the Democrat Party as in, “We know what’s best for you and therefore you’re going to get Socialized Medicine. Nobody else has made it work — and clearly we won’t either — but that’s beside the point. Once we impose it on society, it’ll become so expensive we’ll have to cut military spending which is our plan all along.”

Elitist thought… it’s not your money, it’s society’s money so tax, tax, tax

Shimkus is a “little” sexist nilwit.

McCain got nothing from nominating Palin as Veep, except another Big Oil lapdog like Bush/Cheney.

All this porves John MaCain is STILL too ignorant to be President!

I can’t remember; who coined the word “Femi-nazi”?
Oh,ya….Republican sexists blow-hards 20 years ago.
Twenty years from now, the Republicans will have a gay on the ticket and claim they’ve always supported equal opportunity.

Somebody ought to do an audit of the Madison County Treasurer’s office when he was treasurer. It would be very interesting to the other Dems.
