Senator McCain what did you know and when did you know it?
Senator McCain the choice of who should be your running mate is your choice and your responsibility. You had every right to choose whomever you want. I'm sure you now regret allowing Rush Limbaugh, James Dobson, Billy Kristol, and other wingnuts make your selection for you when you wanted to choose someone else but as you said in your excellent speech Tuesday night the failure is all yours.
You also had every right to choose any person you chose qualified to be President. Those qualifications are minimal and outlined in the Constitution. You had every right to choose Joe the Senator, Joe the Plumber, Fran the Fry Girl at McDonalds, or Sarah The Diva from Wasilla.
But somewhere along the line Senator you learned that Sarah Palin being potentially one heartbeat away from the Presidency would have put at risk everything you love about this country and everything it stands for.
So the question to you Senator is this, What did you know and when did you know it?
When did you learn that Sarah Palin's understanding of foreign policy was below that of a fourth grader? And why didn't you drop her from the ticket when you learned this?
When did you learn that Sarah Palin was associated with hardcore religious zealots like the witchcraft guy and others? And why didn't you drop her from the ticket when you learned this?
When did you learn that Sarah and her nasty husband were supporters of an anti-American renegade outfit misnamed the Alaska Independence Party, a party where its members and those associated with it would not be able to get a job with the FBI? And why didn't you drop her from the ticket when you learned this?
When did you learn that Sarah Palin's map skills make that teenage girl from South Carolina look good in comparison and why didn't you drop her from the ticket when you learned this?
When did you learn about all of Sarah Palin's scandals and self serving corruption and why didn't you drop her from the ticket when you learned this?
When did you learn that she and Todd were using your credit cards to enrich themselves and why didn't you drop her from the ticket when you learned this?
Mr. McCain you say you are an American and you put country first. Tell us then -- What did you know and when did you know it? Our country deserves nothing less than 100% straight talk on this.
