Streisand: McCain Choosing Palin is 'Desperate and Irresponsible'

0909babsmccain.jpg

Political activist Barbra Streisand took to the Internet with some fervent political activism -- and Funny Girl is not amused by John McCain's veep choice of Sarah Palin!

The outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter ranted in her blog about McCain picking Palin as his running mate, calling the choice "desperate and irresponsible." Babs also accused the GOP nominee of pandering to women who may go for the ticket simply because Sarah "has two X chromosomes."

Streisand, who threw her support to Obama when he landed the nomination -- will be hosting a $28K per plate benefit for him in Beverly Hills.


NEXT: Did Babs Play Fair with John McCain?

 

I will support Biden and vote for John McCain!

Everyone has a right to an opinion. How soon do we forget past presidents and their experience, or the lack there of. Republicans-Reagan was an actor with no experience and a union supporter. I just pray that whomever is elected would put God first, and all would be well. As for me and my house, we support Obama for the President of The United States of America. A different story is told for Gov. Palin. This woman need to stay home with her family. You think that she is in the news now, don’t let anything happen to her infant while she is away from home, that is the precise reason the teenager is headlining the news, or was mommy there supervising this pregnancy. Either way you look at the situation, there is failure. God have mercy on those who make the wrong choice, because your heart is wrong.

It wouldn’t surprise me if BS was getting paid to endorse the opposite candidate of the person who lost the Democratic nomination. She has always spoken out for Democrats, no matter how scuzzy they were, and still are. BS, shut up or do something morally right for once. She can’t even sing in public anymore, so how come people listen to her talk STUPID. I did and I wanted to throw up.

Hope when Gibson does the Palin interview tomorrow it’s a ‘softball’ interview as are all interviews given to the LEFT candiadtes by our LIBERAL media. Maybe we could just have a big happy tea party between the two?

McCain only picked Palin to get the women to vote for him. People keep saying, “Leave Palin’s private life alone.” Why should she get special treatment? Obama didn’t get any special treatment. They have tried, but can’t and won’t break him down. He walks in the strength of the Lord. We want equal justice for all? Okay, let the EQUAL justice began.

How is Palin qualified? Seriously? She is ten times more qualified than Obama. She has been the govenor of 700,000 citizens of a state. Has Obama EVER been in charge of ANYTHING….NO! She is the Vice-President candidate, he is the candidate for President? She is way more qualified than he…please wake up.

How can all you people fall for this McCain/Palin bullcrap?!?!
Barbara is totally right on on what she was saying
McCain knew he was in big trouble when Hilary went to Obamas side and so then that old prune McCain decided to get a women to get the female vote and also the pity vote
Honestly how is Palin Qualified???
In her convention ALL she did was tell dumb jokes, LOTS of sarcasm, and tons of critism towards Obama and yet NOTHING about what she wanted to bring to the U.S.
Honestly tell me how shes qualified?
McCain STILL wants to keep the troops in Iraq and siad even if it took over a 100 years he would keep them there
We CANT afford more war!
We are already in dept as it is and soon the United Sates is going to be dirt poor
All this money being wasted on the war an for what?
We should use money to help our states get back on track
Fix the medical and school problems
BUT NO
All you ignorant people cant see with your eyes
Your all a disgrace and if you vote for McCain your sending the U.S. Misery
Vote OBAMA for change people!!!

BS is a has-been and needs to stay out of politics. Sarah is real and one of us and BS is so far removed from reality that she’s obviously lost touch with the common woman. Sarah is a breath of fresh air while BS is full of hot air.

When people say that obama has no experience,they are really giving Him a great compliment. If all the great experience got us to where we are today,then change is what we must strive for. John mc Cain can not run this country on what he did 40 years ago. Palin should clean up her own messes befor3e she tries to clean up this country.

MS BS should stick to her singing not Politics. She is getting nuttier in her old age. She does not know what she says anymore. What happen to moving to another country if Bush won? Liar, Liar.BS. Where is good contribution for cancer research or money to the needy. Thousands of dollars for her concerts go to her ,not needed ,aids etc. As far as Palin she has done more than Obama or Biden put together. Do your home work. God Bless America.

Mc Cain is a HOT HEAD and having a woman as VP with NO Congressional experience this was a BIG MISTAKE if Mc Cain cannot serve as President. Obama-Biden is a much better choice.
