McCain's nomination of Palin for VP is an insult to the intelligence of American voters and shows a combination of naked pandering based upon gender and a shocking disregard for the security of the United States. John McCain is 72 years old, with a history of health problems, but even w/o those qualifiers, he has managed to give the middle finger to the American poeple regarding our security.

   He is unfit for leadership and has a scary disregard for his purported national security interests. He is showing nothing but a desperate, laughable and pathetic pandering to the extreme right wing of his party. Things truly must be bad for Republicans. One has to seriously question his mental stability at this point. I hope Americans will come to their senses in the sobering environment of the voting booth.
