Lessons in HR Management from Palin's Selection

Well I think they checked Palin and her family out quite well. Well enough to figure out how to use her daughter for the anti-abortion agenda. Well enough to encourage teen pregnancies because there is no good sex education allowed in school and information on birth control measures, and enough to work to tell all women what and when they can do all kinds of things just because of a small group of religious zealots trying to run our lives out of their family bibles. When someone like the red rover builds a certain reputation, their comes a time when nothing can be taken at face value anymore. Lets face it that time for the Bush administration and the republican party came years ago. It is the logic of someone crying wolf too many times.
What is pathetic is that someone would offer up their own daughter to the media in this way and work to spread this kind of problem to families all across the country for purely ideological reasons.

I think that when you conduct an interview you also should know what the candidate is supposed to do for you. Putting aside Gov. Palin's uncertainty over what it is Vice Presidents actually do, Sen. McCain's team should have asked themselves how this choice strengthened their executive team. President Bush has always had VP Cheney contributing to major policy decisions; President Clinton used VP Gore the same way but VP Quayle was pretty well invisible in the elder Bush's Administration.

Well, you certainly are biased. I bet you won't give Obama and Biden the same scrutiny.

Coming from a party infamous for mudslinging, McCain should have known better. He should have learned from the presidential race of sixteen years ago when H. Ross Perot was driven out of politics. Politicians who throw stones shouldn't live in glass houses.

Lieberman was on the ticket until 10 days ago and he was replaced last minute with Palin because McCain was afraid republicans were not going to want Lieberman.

MCCAIN SHOWS HE IS A real MAVRICK AND GOES AGAINST HIS PARTY lol!!!!

Someone who was a vocal member of the radical, anti-American, secessionist Alaska Independence Party should be instantly disqualified from any role close to President of the United States.

This is an insult from McCain to all Americans. If he makes decisions this hastily about something this important, so early on, god knows what other awful judgment calls he'll make as president.

The Religious Right has bought the party. As CBSnews.com headlined a moment ago, this is Palin's campaign.

I'm a bit taken back by Pallin's use of the word "choice" in describing her decision to bring her DS diagnosed baby to term. And by the laurels of her backers in applauding her "choice." As well as her saying she is proud of her daughter for "choosing" to keep her baby. Certainly, this could not have been a "choice" for someone who wishes to deny all women the right to make choices in such circumstances.

McCain has neither the wit nor the temperament to be POTUS. And now this is who he would put a 72 yr old heartbeat away from being CiC?

When did the GOP stop being the party of fiscal responsibility and become a theological support group? Sigh, for the first time in my 60 years, I see no reason to vote. Straight to Hades in a handbag whichever way it goes.

The political process in America is totally broken. We continually get marginal candidates for political offices. I can't believe the choices we get for President. It is much tougher getting ahead in Corporate America. You have to be highly educated and bust your butt for 10-15 years to get ahead. In politics you can get ahead overnite. Palin wouldn't get very far in Corporate America. It's ridiculous.

Well Grumpy, you lived up to your name. It's not the woman's choice, it's the baby's RIGHT. Given to us, as babies, by GOD. Sorry you don't like her "choice" of vocabulary.

That being said, this is the second Republican ticket in a row where I wish the candidates were flipped. Oh well, now the "choice" is Socialism. The only difference is how fast you want it.
