"So what is Sarah Palin's true purpose? Whether she knows it or not, she is a stalking horse.
"Stalking horse" comes from hunting. To avoid scaring the prey, say a group of wild ducks, the hunter lets his horse wander towards the ducks since the ducks are not startled by seeing a horse. The hunter stays carefully behind the horse until he is close enough to shoot the ducks.
McCain and his coterie of neocon, war-mongering imperialists are the hunters. Sarah Palin is the stalking horse. And you and me, we're the ducks.
Many people who were not finding much to like in John McCain will be won over simply because they find what Sarah Palin stands for much more compelling. But I'm not buying, and you shouldn't either."

I'm well aware of what politics are all about --- it's just that I trust the Republicans a lot less than I do the Dems at this point. This late pick of a light-weight is a cosmetic shady maneuver from a party who has driven this country into the ground.
I do not think Obama is really any better. Just seems like the lesser of two undesirables.
Sad time for this country, considering the mess we are in.

This election is a farce.
Blame your fellow citizens for their apathy and not voting. Last week we had a 17% turnout.
Now for November....no...it'll be a full house. McCain/Palin.
Obama is not my "Messiah". I never said I was voting for him.
But you keep believing the lip service of the new age Republican party. They are easier to read than a cheap surprise.
And did you just call me a Jackass?
My feelings are hurt.
If you aren't X, then you are Y. That's the way these bleating sheep think. The switch only goes on or off. Don't let them hurt your feelings. They're the jackasses.
Go ahead people, flame away. Ain't gonna hurt my feelings.
Damn right I'm fearful. As all Americans should be.
The true "Stalking Horses" are in actuality Obama and Palin.
Most Americans are being spoon fed the illusion of change... and what a perfect way to do it with a black guy and a woman running on tickets against each other.
Go back to sleep, everything is under control.
