"John McCain doesn't run with the Washington herd," said Palin, the 44-year-old Alaska governor and surprise pick as McCain's running mate.

"It's over. It's over. It's over for the special interests," McCain promised. "We're going to start working for the people of this country."

Twelve hours after leaving the Republican convention in Minnesota, McCain and Palin were cheered and applauded by a crowd of 1,000 or more who packed the street in front of the ice cream and chocolate store that was the backdrop for their appearance.

[ou_sooner_football]

8. i seriously doubt it

I'm sure Mccain will keep up the status quo. Look at his staff.

[Bob Dobbs]

10. The total fantasy prevarication campaign

Not even close to being tethered to reality.

And the M$M eats it up and regurgitates it out.

[radfringe]

11. then why did he not chose ridge or lieberman (his first choices)

and went with palin at dobson's insistence?

[tomg]

20. If he can't stand up to

religious extremists at home, how can he stand up to them abroad.

[DJ13]

12. His bus would be empty if it was really over

[Old and In the Way]

13. From the guy whose campaign is run by lobbyists.

Once a member of the Keating 5, always a member of the Keating 5. You are who we are fighting against McSame...and no amount of bullmoose shit is going to change that.

[Virginia Dare]

14. Unless some sweet little special interest shakes her ass in his face..

how is that sweet little Vicki Iseman these days McCane, we haven't heard much about her lately?

[Dem2theMax]

16. "We're going to start working for the people of this country."

I like that. He's too stupid to realize how it sounds. Sort of like, "We never worked for the people of this country before." DUH. :rofl:

The repuke party. The gift that keeps on giving. One stupid saying or scandal after another. ;)

[Terran]

17. Er, John...you're going to "start"?

So what have you been doing all these years in DC, eh? Oh, I know: making promises you can't keep.

[Festivito]

[musette_sf]

[fascisthunter]

24. Speshullll.... as in fundi special????

[tinrobot]

26. Perhaps it's "special" as in Olympics.

He's cutting funding for the Special Olympics.

[DeeDeeNY]

25. The only thing crazier than the increasingly outrageous lies is

that there are people who believe them.
I'm sure by now that a good percentage of Republicans believe that the Democrats have been completely in charge the last 8 years. I've heard some of them say that if only a Republican had been president on 9/11 it wouldn't have happened!!!!

[progressivebydesign]

27. So AP is basically PR for the repubs? Where is the JOURNALISM here???

They are nothing more than stenographers anymore. A REAL reporter would have debunked that Rovian bullshit by pointing just how FILTHY with special interest money Daddy Warbucks and Caribou Barbie really are!!
