Very nice to have you with us, too! That is a telling photo, isn't it?! Shows she has a physical ugly side when she wants to. But it's her insides that are the true ugliness, seems to me. I don't see the aging "pretty" face the way so many men did, like that ridiculous wrong-wing pundit rich lowry who was just SURE she was winking at him during the debate...

Reminds me of the utter, and very basic, inbred disrespect and dismissal too many republi-CONS have for women. Maybe they were just brought up that way. I remember when bush-the-elder ran for president on his own after being reagan's vice (well, one of MANY reagan "vices"!!!!). When it came time to pick a running mate, bush senior picked the ridiculous brainless pretty-boy senator dan quayle from Indiana. At the time there was a comment attributed to the old man such that - "there's one for the ladies." I remember that so well! I was insulted! THAT'S what you think we women look for in a candidate, you myopic old fart? THAT'S what you think will get the women's vote??? Seriously?????? All we want is a pretty face? Some cute guy to look at while you're busy being a political flaccid release yourself? SHEESH!!!

I know EXACTLY why john mccain decided on her. I saw it play out during that first day she came on the scene - when he introduced her the Friday after the Democratic Convention nominating Barack Obama had ended. It was a bald attempt to steal the spotlight and the whole news cycle - for what they hoped would be the entire rest of the campaign. I was watching, and when he introduced her, she stepped up to the podium and he stepped back and to one side. He and his wife were basically flanking her from a step or so behind her, 'cuz cindy mccain was standing on the opposite side of the podium from where he was. And I couldn't stop watching HIM. He stood there the ENTIRE TIME palin spoke - fiddling with his wedding ring and sneaking sidelong looks at her ass. I'm not kidding OR exaggerating. My dad had a wandering eye and I had seen that behavior on display MANY times before. And sure enough, there it was again, on public display on TV, by john mccain the wanna-be "president." I couldn't believe it. If I had had ANY interest in his campaign at all, THAT would have KILLED IT. But to me his candidacy was already DOA anyway. I didn't like him as is. I didn't trust him. Thought he was a war-monger and rather out-of-it, plus the whole republi-CON agenda he'd have brought into the White House including the PNACers lurking in the shadows hoping and praying for an opportunity to stay in power after bush/cheney packed up and left. I still had some respect for him as a war veteran (until I drilled down into his utter incompetence and recklessness as a "pilot," that is). But I lost the last bit of respect that I'd ever had for him at that moment. FUCK, MAN, your WIFE is standing right there, asshole! WHAT THE FREAKIN' HELL????????

I would bet that all other things being equal, he thought her (AND that "cute little ass of hers&quot over and decided - "y'know, I sure could stand having to look at THAT for the next four-to-eight years..." I'll BET that's what finally made his decision for him.

Ordinarily, I would chalk this up to gossip. But considering who Cleita Sep 2014 #1
