The GOP are gone, McCain could have won it but he screwed it up with this choice. McCain could have moed with Giuliani a guy who fights drugs and crime and can run a big city like NYC instead of some little village in Alaska, he had Condi Rice a loyal Republican who could have brought the black and the woman votes, then there was Romney, another good one he held conservative values he knowns a thing about economics and was able to run the Olympics by himself...and so many others. But we get a cute gal from some little village who talks about fighting pork barrel spending unless it's for Alaska, including the bridge to nowhere, sells herself to the oil companies and is part of some radical secessionist movement
you know those wacko groups who want puerto rico to break away from the USA and join Mexico/Cuba and those people who want Alaska to secede or join up with Canada or Russia.
The shotgun wedding isn't such a big issue what is an issue for me is how competent is a McCain campaign that picks a candidate without any serious vetting of stuff that can appear on the Internet within a few hours??
With some NeoCon agenda hijacking the Whitehouse and wrecking true Republican values with their insane spending and radical leftist program this really is a bad time for conservatives, the world (including Alaska) is laughing at the GOP

Gov. Sarah Palin's reluctant announcement Monday that her unmarried, teenage daughter was within months of making her a grandmother at age 44 also turned a spotlight on Sen. John McCain, who would have Palin as his vice president.
McCain's presidential campaign spent the day trying to assure fellow Republicans and the nation that Palin's background was thoroughly vetted. The pregnancy of Bristol Palin, 17, came as no surprise to them, they said.
But in Alaska, it was hard to find anyone who had been contacted by McCain's campaign.
Thomas Van Flein, the Anchorage lawyer representing Palin and her office in the legislature's investigation into the firing of former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, said he spoke to several representatives from McCain before Palin's selection was announced Friday.
But Van Flein appears to be in a small minority in the vetting of Palin.
The former U.S. attorney for Alaska, Wev Shea, who enthusiastically recommended Palin back in March, said he was never contacted with any follow-up questions.
Chris Coleman, one of Palin's next-door neighbors, said no one representing McCain spoke to him about Palin. Another neighbor also was never contacted, he said Monday.
Republican Gail Phillips, a former speaker of the Alaska House, said Friday that she was shocked by McCain's selection of Palin and told her husband, Walt, "This can't be happening because his advance team didn't come to Alaska to check her out." She said she would've heard had someone been poking around.
"We're not a very big state," Phillips said. "People I talk to would've heard something."
Monegan, fired by Palin in July, said that no one from the McCain campaign contacted him, either. His firing is now the subject of a special legislative investigation into whether Palin or members of her administration improperly interfered with the running of his department by pushing for dismissal of a state trooper involved in a divorce and custody battle with Palin's sister.
Alaska Senate President Lyda Green, R-Wasilla, told The New York Times, "They didn't speak to anyone in the Legislature, they didn't speak to anyone in the business community."
Wasilla Mayor Dianne Keller said she had not heard of any efforts to look into Palin's background, the Times reported. And Randy Ruedrich, the state Republican Party chairman, said he knew nothing of any vetting that had been conducted.

'Neo-con' is what 'liberals' might call the a tough-talking, warmongering, know-nothing blowhard living the the Whitehouse
The 'Neo-con' insult has also been adopted by many Republicans
Old school Republicans (the Regan fans and Ron Paul voters)are alarmed by the huge debts, the destruction of the dollars purchasing power and their philosophy of premptive military action and the favoring of heavy big government programs like no-child-left-behind and that crazy wire-tapping scandal
I don't think they are 'Jews', saying it that way kind of puts it like some kind of ethnic insult. However I would not ignore the possibility that some Jews might be NeoCons and some NeCons might be Jewish. For example Wolfowitz could be identified as both since he holds dual citizenship with both the US and Israel and he supports the Neocon philosophy.
Neo-Conservatives hold a very different philosophy to Reagan supporters and Ron Paul supporters,
Neocons distract the public by acting like they really care about social issues like flag burning or illegals. Meanwhile they are busy conducting wars and stifling your freedom with more laws to make us less free. They are true interventionists and are crusading republicans with morally idealistic values and support a huge Orwellian government with reckless pork barrel spending

No. It's code word for "Republican". Also for "fascist".
