I don’t have a lotta love for Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman, but she didn’t waste any time sending out an e-mail that shares her feelings toward Alaska’s governor:
John McCain rolled the dice with his VP pick today – in an attempt to woo women voters.
But we cannot gamble with women’s lives.
Don’t let your friends, family and co-workers be fooled: Alaskan Sarah Palin is a dangerous right-winger who lacks the judgment to lead.
In 2000, Palin endorsed Pat Buchanan for President. Yes, that Pat Buchanan.
In 2006, Palin ran for Alaska Governor on a message of change – and then turned out to be just another corrupt Alaska politician who’s now under investigation in her own state.
She’s no Hillary Clinton. She’s Dan Quayle in a dress.
Women voters who care about equal rights, choice, family and other issues, will not see a partner in Palin.
She is lockstep with Bush and McCain on issues important to women. Every one of them. That’s scary.
The corrupt trio of Ted Stevens, Don Young, and Lisa Murkowski all raised campaign money for Palin.
John McCain claimed that Barack Obama lacked experience. Then he picked a VP who has just 20 months at the helm of a state with a population smaller than the city of Jacksonville, and zero foreign policy experience. Palin would be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Barack Obama is ready to lead. Last night he showed us what the next American president will look like. He and Joe Biden will deliver change we need.
“Smaller than the city of Jacksonville?” Wasilla, Alaska’s population is estimated at 8,500. Jacksonville is the nation’s twelfth largest city, population around 800,000. So it’s about ten times smaller. Great comparison, Karen. Way to drive home a point.
Maybe she meant Jacksonville, Kentucky.
“Then he picked a VP who has just 20 months at the helm of a state with a population smaller than the city of Jacksonville”
State. STATE. Not city.
Great job, Trish. Another misinformed, idiotic post.
Thanks for the correction, TrishIsDumb. But it’s Buck’s post. I just made a comment on it. Maybe we both need glasses.
IMHO ~ The real question is who knocked up palin’s daughter ?
Excuse me, TrishIsDumb, but what about the comparison did you not understand? Jacksonville has a population of 800,000 and Alaska has a population of 670,000. And anyway, it was a Karen Thurman quote.
