that Biden makes the right laugh and Palin makes the left cry? |

...on this thread alone.
It just goes to show you how vacuous his comments are-----in that he declared, publicly (what a schmow) that he had, "better things to do with his time". That, he wa, "scalin' back.
What a feckless liar, this pathetic bloviator. |

Someday ..maybe
I was so miserable on Friday,sunk in the worst funk, wept off and on. Am I the only conservative woman believing that , again he dumped all over Mitt Romney? McCain is still a punk,he wouldn't
know class if it bit his old bum !
Today, he couldn't even do a proper intro, mumbling and stumbling.
I was expecting the Sound of Music theme to blast the crowd.
Bet it won't be long before she gaffs and he will be out there, all snarly. He is not going to take her counsel,no one tells him what to do.
I do not intend to vote for him.I believe he is
a user.
Rush said he would shove Huck under the bus, he did. Although that snake-oil salesman deserved it.
Mitt put out his hand and helped.. McCain bit it.

J. Suck it up! This is the way it is for this election. Brooding will not defeat the socialists. Little steps can lead to a long journey toward conservatism regaining it's place in power. 2112 will be here before you know it and Mitt can have another go at it, even challenge McCain if he wins or run against Obammy should he win. Just don't help out the socialists by not voting for the GOP. Even Mitt will vote for McCain or he wouldn't campaign for him. |

Don't want Obama, but wont vote for the only other viable candidate. Just vote for Obama and be honest about it. A write in vote of any name spells Obama just the same. |

Polemic ; 1 a: an aggressive attack on or refutation of the opinions or principles of another b: the art or practice of disputation or controversy —usually used in plural but singular or plural in construction.
I immediately recognized your misuse of the word polemic and went to the dictionary to paste here.
Polemic argumentation can be as fact filled as any kind of debate. To call an argument polemic is to address the style, NOT the content. It is true that polemic argument is poorly used and over used, but this does not disqualify it entirely. |

Agreed. I like Palin - she adds warmth and youth to the ticket and is by all accounts extremely competent and likable. She'd make a great cabinet member, or grooming her as a GOP future pick for high office. But that time is not now.
The aura she gives of being a compassionate mother of Down's Syndrome baby is dashed when one actually wraps their minds around the fact that ambition seems to have trumped her parenting duty towards a special needs infant.
This alone is not insignificant, add it to her inexperience and Palin comes off looking for all the world like an opportunist with an eye towards power instead of a stateswoman in control of her own life as a well as the most dangerously important issues facing America today.
As has been said already, she will be up with her baby when that 3 am call comes, so does she decide to tend to the needs of Down's Syndrome baby, or the interests of our country?
I'm all for women's rights and I realize she has a husband to help, but I trust a woman more for her sense of family than I do her ambitious pursuits.

Since when? Foreign affairs experience should involve having the chops and know how on where our enemies are! The statement Romney made is exactly what I'd expect from a Democrat! We are at war, people - a war that Senator McCain wants to expand into Iran and possibly even Russia. So where does having experience with Canada - a next door neighbor to Alaska - help us in the Middle East??
Come on!! This is disturbing - my own Party is taking the tactic that if we convince ourselves enough, mold and rework the facts enough, we can put a nice shine on this rather lackluster pick of the Senator's.
Joe Biden is many things, but you can bet he is a gentleman as well as a highly skilled debater. To think that he will pull his punches with Palin on foreign affairs is ridiculous. To think that if he doesn't the country will align behind Palin because he pummels her in the debates about our security issues and fears, you've got another thing coming.
I hate to say it, but Palin is NOT Hillary. The country did have faith in Clinton's know-how. Only the Republicans, for the large part, will defend this VP pick if she's backed mercilessly against a wall by someone who knows a thing or two about Iraq. |
|
|
back in april 2008,Gov.Palin's name came out to us at that time did a google and found this woman would be the "gold"that John McCain would need,and you tell me what woman would not like Gold.... |
|
|
Good points. Also, how will a new mother, have time to be VP? That's a full time job, especially when one has a down syndrome. baby. And, bonding at that age is critical. |
|
"... he (McCain) has taken away his best argument (Barack is not qualified)..."
I don't care if Sarah Palin was only elected "dog catcher" in Alaska, BO was/is unqualified. Does anything that McCain/GOP does negate that fact?
The Democrats continue to serve up crap and dress it to look like steak. Will you people stop your infantile rants and start producing quality candidates? America wants people of character not people who are characters.
On second thought, keep serving up 'Jimmy Carters', 'Bill Clintons', 'Al Gores', et al. You guarantee a Republican (not necessarily a Conservative) will always sit in the big chair. |
|
Finally another liberal in the race:
Over the opposition of oil companies, Republican Gov. Sarah Palin and Alaska's Legislature last year approved a major increase in taxes on the oil industry — a step that has generated stunning new wealth for the state as oil prices soared.
YES WE CAN! |
|
|
Chastised the Obama campaign for considering Kaine as a choice because his experience involved only 3 years as Governor. One whole year more than Palin's experience - and in a state where there at least was a challenge to swing the vote over. We own the Alaskan vote, it's a red state. So, again - why is Palin a good choice for the Republican Party?? |
|
but didn't Senator McCain conduct his argument against Senator Obama based on experience and judgement? Isn't his a rather hypocritical position now to pick a running mate with as little experience as Palin? She has admitted that she knows very little regarding Iraq. Her focus has been entirely on Alaska, period.
I got off the fence to vote for McCain, but I am heading back there to perch again after this head scratching turn. He's an old man of questionable health, and I expect him to choose a VP who can stand in and take over if need be - not someone who looks good for photo ops. |

I had no idea you guys were so desperate. This is gonna look really stupid in three or four weeks. Shoulda just gone the safe route and hope there was a stealth anti-Barack vote. This way, McCain is now an unserious, craven, purely political hack..

PL. Pawlenty and Romney gave very gracious congratulations to Palin and thanked McCain for considering them. Kinda makes you wrong and hints at you living in a libtard bubble. Besides that, Hillary is not so gracious as demonstrated right here on this forum. Don't you read these posts here? |
|
It is prophetic that in the very scripture that Obama cited to Rick Warren at the Saddleback Civil Forum interviews, while making yet another attempt to moralize the faults of America, he chose one that places that very condemnation upon his own evil and hard heartedness.
Ever the chameleon, now posing as a Christian, he quotes Jesus Christ [Matt. 25] in another of his unrelenting attemps to criticize America, saying: "That basic principle applies to poverty. It applies to racism and sexism. It applies to...you know...not having--not thinking about providing ladders of opportunity for people to get into the Middle Class...we still don't spend enough time thinking about the least of these..."
Yet this same man shrugs his shoulders and advocates AGAINST any ladders of opportunity being provided for defenseless, helpless, innocent babies?
Like Tonto said to the Lone Ranger...I say to the Lone STRANGER--whatcha' mean WE "Wright" man?
He claims that the people that say these awful things about him being in favor of the sacrifice the lives of innocent babies [the least of these] on the altar of abortion rights, are lying. Unfortunately for him, the record of his guilt is available for all to see, proving who the real liar is.
Last night this "holy" imposter had the audacity to call upon the American people to be "our brother's keepers" while he ignores his own brother who languishes in abject poverty on $1 a-month!! Folks, that's $12 a-year!!
Before making a mockery of the scriptures, Obama would do well to take a lesson from Proverbs 17:7:
"Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool--how much worse lying lips to a ruler!"
or Proverbs 18:6-7:
"A fool's lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating. A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul."

It show she has good common sense and pays attention to SCIENCE and not wild a** guesses and fairy tales like evolution. |

I'm very excited and thrilled that McCain made a brilliant and bold move to choose Palin as VP!
As Rush said today, it's time for conservatism to fight aggressively on its OWN terms and stop being defensive and allowing the d*mn leftists dictate the agenda. Enough!
Palin is EXACTLY what America needs - a courageous and conservative leader.
Onward to victory!

I never thought that John McCain would make such a bold move. I cringed at the possibility that McCain would pick one of the "front-runners". I was thrilled to death that McCain selected Palin.
I also think that when the Democrats slam the inexperience of Palin they in turn also bring to light the utter lack of experience in Obama. |

Palin doesn’t have to put together an organization that could defeat Bush; and BTW Biden couldn’t do it, could he? And he has thirty six years on Capitol Hill. What’s your point?
On the contrary, there is no contempt here. Rather, it is an amazing example of a grizzled old veteran telling a young up start to come to the challenge. This should come as no surprise to those that know McCain well…I suggest you read Robert Timberg’s books about McCain.
“It was an act of extreme ego.” Every political calculation is reduced to ego; why do you think Obama chose Biden? Every political calculation can be reduced to ego.
“It showed reckless and even silly judgment. You can say Barrack is inexperienced, but Americans know him. He has been talking about the concern for two years now, and running against it. He has thought about these issues at length, privately and in public forums. He has gone through the crucible.”
Americans, PL, are just coming to know Barrack Obama. And it’s not the Obama you presume that America knows. He has not even come close to the crucible…Jack Ryan paved the way for him and that is why he wilts so easily under pressure. Had he a few difficult Senate terms under his belt perhaps your point would carry some weight, but he is nonetheless the product of a one term Senate election against a carpetbagger. Not much to respect there.
“The man has shown himself to be a doddering fool.”…not when they met in a similar forum at Saddleback. McCain won that contest.
“Hey, she's a creationist. She doesn't believe in global warming.” …You should get out more PL. There’s a whole world out there that believes that and they are registered voters. In the political realm it’s called Realpolitik.
“But what about the middle-aged Hillary backer?”…McCain may get some of those voters, but he won’t need them because a much larger demographic, heretofore ignored, will be energized: the conservative female base that admires Palin.
|

Surprisingly, I agree with you on something.
You said "It is nothing short of an act of contempt towards the American people to pretend as though Palin and Barack are on the same experiential level."
You are correct, Sarah has ACCOMPLISHED far more while Obama has SAID he will do everything. Besides, Sarah is running for VP and Obamessiah is running for Pres - so it is really funny that you feel you have to justify his experience against the VP candidate.
Keep comparing him to her, you are only making the case about his inexperience and total lack of accomplishments.
BTW, a final note - the dims have the distinction of having a ticket with NO military experience and they want Americans to take them seriously about National security? You guys are kidding, right??? |
|
Pathetic Liberal,
You are kidding right?? Obama's accomplishments?? Really? He has done nothing.
True, he was selected over HRC - but that leads to the question:
If a person will NOT vote for another person (Obama) because he is black, that would make the person that didn't vote for him a racist. Right??
So, what does that make the person that DOES vote for another person (Obama) because he is black?
And speaking of racists, let us assume there are some in each party. Safe bet that the racists in the R party were not going to vote for Obama. What about the racists in the D party?
And since the dims get about 85% of the black vote every national election, how did the dims help their cause by nominating a black man? Especially one that was too stupid to put 18 million votes on the ticket beside him.
To be perfectly clear, I am not against a black man (or woman) running for or being elected Pres, but if the ONLY reason that he/her made it out of the primaries is because of his/her skin color, then chances are not very good in the general election. |

Sarah Palin has more experience on the executive level than Nobama and binbiden put together. Look, she runs a state that is geographically huge, it is separated from the lower 48, so itself is like a foreign country. Alaska does sit very close to Russia, separated by the bering sea, and she is head of the Alaska National Guard. She knows how to lead.. All this hogwash about she does not have the experience is sooo false. The dim-ocrats are running scared right now. She has more executive experience than the other ticket combined, she has a son in the military, so she knows about sacrifice, and she is the mother of 5 children, so she knows how to budget her time well. She knows what Americans are facing, and she has led reforms against big oil. She is a life member of the NRA, and hunts a lot during hunting season. She has more cohones than the other ticket put together. She is more involved not just in government, but in life as well. I applaud her pick as VP, and she will bring the change to Washington that the Dim-ocrats have been boasting. NOBAMA has caved on his platform of change, and McCain has flourished under that same platform. I am so energized right now about McCain, it's awesome. And to think, after McCain congradulated NOBAMA on a "JOB WELL DONE", his campaign slams McCains VP on experience. After what McCain did, that was sooo poor on NOBAMA's part, to critisize when he says he will run a campaign of clean politics, which he has reversed himself on, and I think that will backfire for NOBAMA...being too harsh on the McCain ticket, I think voters will see through what he has said about running a no smear campaign, and about what he is actually doing. |

can i ask what good it ever does for republicans to condescendingly mention obama's middle name? really. why shouldnt you mention it? for the simple reason that it's tacky.
i am the son of two german parents, my middle name happens to be adolf. god knows what judgments have been heaped upon me by tacky, uncreative people.
thats all. |

..and in the process of that craven political objective, put to rest once and for all the notion that he is a serious man for a serious office. Awesome. We're in..

I'll bet her ovaries are bigger then Obambi's & Biden's testicles. |

Barack has achieved quite a bit in his legislative career, and in his career before politics. If you were one of the 38 million who saw his speech last night, you'll have a clearer idea of his achievements.
It is fantastic that you guys are being toppled by your own hubris. One final blast of exaggerated self-importance before you implode electorally. It is nothing short of an act of contempt towards the American people to pretend as though Palin and Barack are on the same experiential level. It is like saying: "never mind what you have seen and witnessed between Barack and HRC over the past many months. It amounts to nothing. Here is a lady that makes all that irrelevant." What? Have all these years in powers turned you folks into fools? This election is over. |
|
|
McCain steals the thunder from Obama by selecting a gun and bible clinging woman. The irony is fantastic. |
|
It is an act of contempt on the part of McCain. Contempt towards Barack's inexperience (not so inexperienced that he could not bring down the Clinton machine, in the face of every frigging pundit to the left and right--as Andrew Sullivan said, let's see Palin put together an organization that could beat the Bush family). And contempt towards what he says about himself. You don't go around saying "Country First," and then nominate Sarah Palin to be your running mate.
It was an act of extreme ego. It showed reckless and even silly judgment. You can say Barack is inexperienced, but Americans know him. He has been talking about the concern for two years now, and running against it. He has thought about these issues at length, privately and in public forums. He has gone through the crucible. And McCain thinks the public is going to buy the notion that Palin is every bit as experienced as Barack? Such nonsense. The man has shown himself to be a doddering fool. And the base may be gratified. Hey, she's a creationist. She doesn't believe in global warming. She's certainly clean, compared to the stink that emanates from Republican Alaska.
But what about the middle-aged Hillary backer? The degreed ones will move, grumbling and griping, back to Barack. As far as the "high school/some college" middle aged women? The Catholic and other working class women? Well, who knows what they will think about a mom who abandons her young children to seek national glory.
As for Kondracke, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
|
|
Now the R ticket has more military experience than the D ticket at both Pres and VP. Sarah Palin has more executive experience than ANY of them and she has already CAUSED (not just talking about it) change in government to happen - going after others (including Republicans) for ethics issues.
Seriously, what has Obama ever accomplished? He got elected to the U.S. Senate and immediately started running for Pres (just like John Edwards did) - he hasn't even tried to do the job he was elected to do.
I love the fact that an obviously smart woman that has accomplished things without the benefit of assistance from terrorists or convicts (or riding on the coat-tails of her husband) is on the ticket.

Surely you jest...
What did you expect him to do? What did Obama do with the Biden choice?
Your comments are very "inside the beltway" about known quantities and suggest nothing in the way of "change". In fact, your comment is precisely what Morton Kondracke said on Fox News tonight. Look it up.

This Mitt supporter is absolutely thrilled to support this ticket. Well done, John! You are bringing us together. I guess that means that I am just going to have to open my wallet and clear out some weekend time to volunteer.

Lets clean Obama's clock. |

What I KNOW is that McCain revealed to be an unserious political hack who puts electoral considerations before country. He has made a mockery of himself and his entire argument over the past several months. But, I guess, "the base" is happy. Yeesh. What a joke.
Nothing against Ms. Palin. She seems like a very nice woman. It is just that she does not belong anywhere near the Big Chair at this point in her career. We've been looking at Barack pretty closely over the last two years. Biden? He's been around. McCain? He's been around. Palin? C'mon. Americans aren't stupid.. |
|
|
That is why I am here. After more than a quarter century as the dominant ideology in America, conservatives still have not learned to take responsibility for what their leadership has wrought. Two years of Congress? You're joking, right?! |
|

McCain already has 30% of Hillary's supporters voting for him. Barack spent 4 nights wooing middle of america - and in one person Palin, a true middle american story of rise to power, McCain has wiped out any gains Obama may have had with the middle american blue collar bitter frustrated gun clinging and god worshipping americans. Notice, Palin wears a skirt suit and lapelle pin, she's no hillary SHE IS BETTER TEN TIMES. And she will cling with americans in a way that neither Obama nor Biden can and HER LIFE STORY IS THE WAY SHE WILL DEFEAT THAT SILLY OBAMA-BIDEN TEAM. |

I'm glad you are at least open to the possibility of Palin.
And no I didn't buy her stock on INTRADE.
AAAUUUGGGHHHHHGGGGG!!!!

Sarah makes Team Obama - speechless and desperate. See how your unprepared-can't speak-without a prompter Obama back peddled in his response. She will sweep the floor with BOTH Obama and Biden. her experience and accomplishment out number those of both Biden and Obama......AND YOU KNOW IT! |
|
This was an absolutely brilliant decision by the McCain campaign.
The Palin story today has eclipsed what was intended to be a transcendent moment for the Obama campaign last night. Obama has been taken off message AGAIN, at what was to be his finest hour and you can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the left.
But the Palin pick pays dividends too. She will galvanize the heretofore recalcitrant Republican base that McCain has battled throughout the primaries. McCain hasn't brought the base into the fold with this pick, he has joined the base.
Much has been made of the Hillary vote here, but remember that there is a very large demographic of conservative women voters that does not get any where near as much media attention as traditional liberal women voters. I'll go on record now to predict that this demographic is a SILENT MAJORITY that will carry McCain to victory.

This is truly a great day in american history. A TRUE woman leader who will be better than Maggie Thatcher. The Brits will no longer hold the mantle of leading lady with most power.....Republicans have given us Dr. Rice and now Governor Palin.

Or at least trying to...
Obama and Palin both have experience issues.... I chuckle at the spitting going back and forth over that.... Who was it that made a comparison earlier on about Two Pygmies arguing with each other over who was taller??? I think that applies to this situation in a huge way... The Reeps definitely have the edge on this one however, but simply due to the fact that Obama is running for the #1 position and Palin is running for the #2 position....
BUT, and this is a huge BUT....IMHO the Experience issue would have won the election for Mac by itself, NOW, I don't think that it can or will... This was a very large advantage that the GOP had and they just threw water on it... Similar to what the 5 Reeps have done on the issue of Energy with the Gang of 10...
WHY?? Why did McCain do this?? Palin is GREAT.... BUT SHE NEEDS TIME AND EXPOSURE... |

Palin is younger and better looking. Hillary just got shunned by Obama. Now she might miss out on being the first female Pres. or VP. This possibly sets Palin up for the POTUS down the road. I'll be she is pissed.
However, I have thought Hillary has an interest in Obama losing so she can be ready to run in 2012. Now she might not want Palin to be the first woman. She will still have a chance as the first woman POTUS but if McCain wins Palin will have experience and still be younger in 2012, 2016. |
|
Oh, how refreshing Sarah Palin is and will be as the next Vice-President of the Great United States. Just imagine, the return of femininity to the second highest office in the free world.
As a woman, my heart is filled with a pride that left a long time ago when women like M. Louise Veronica Ciccone (otherwise known as Madonna)became the standard for womanhood. Madonna and her ilk is and has always been such an embarrassment to me.
Our young girls will finally have a natural role model. A wholesome, intelligent, articulate, successful woman who can balance the critically important roles of being a wife, a mother, and a public servant.
Young men can look to this lovely lady in her subordinate role as someone they might wish their future wife's to emmulate (I do beleive that John McCain will be a strong President who will maintain the dignity and solemnity and leadership role of the Presidential office).
I am as happy as I could possibly have been with Senator John McCain and his excellent choice of Vice Presidents. GO MCCAIN/PALIN!!!

As far as this election season goes, Palin IS the right candidate to put up against the Obama ticket. She spent time running a state while Obama has been perpetually running a campaign. Are you really positing that Obama has more experience than Palin? Obama is the #1 on their ticket - I don't think you can compare, Obama is who we should be fearful of - what "stuff" has he shown?

I love how the Dems have attacked her experience, how can they say anything about experience. Throw it in their face. |

Your ignorance is showing.
"I guess the fact that Palin consistently got the road salt out before the first snowfall qualifies her to oversee a hurricane Katrina situation."
It's not the role of the federal government to "oversee" state emergencies. It is, however the role of a governor, of which she is one, so yah, I guess you got one right.
"And that moose that wandered onto the Library front lawn gives her the experience to handle organized crime and lawlessness."
Um, I always thought that was the role of law enforcement? The VP is now heading crime task forces?
"Plus, we haven't even gotten to the endorsement of Palin by Senator Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens (doesn't his criminal trial start soon??)"
Considering she is rooting out the endemic good ol' boy cronyism in Alaska, cutting spending and vetoing pet projects (including the bridge) of pigs like Stevens, you won't be seeing that happen. They are political enemies.
You must be a student to be this ignorant. |

High school drop outs could be fine, don't get me wrong. The guy I admire more than anyone in history made it threw 8th grade. But, baring that, no one would give Edison the time of day until he showed his stuff. |

Wow, comments from a "patriotic liberal", and other posing as American citizens.
A patriotic liberal is as possible as a democrat christian.
The selection of a clear conservative outsider makes a lot of sense. If she had been elected to yesterday she'd be more qualified than the anointed one.
However, if the typical double & triple voting by the socialists (Read Democrats for you Democrat's) takes place, we may have the answer to all the energy we'll ever need. Wrap some wires aroud the remains of the founding fathers, at the rate they are "spining in thier graves" we'll have power to spare for a hundred years. |

I don't mind. I can give you a list of high school drop outs that I'd prefer over the O'Biden ticket.
Thomas Edison was a high school drop out, so was Thomas Paine. |

JM did look at picking an almost identical male in Jindal, who turned it down.
Let's give Palin some exposure and see what she's got before excoriating or lauding. I'm expecting most will be pleasantly surprised. |
|
McCain's pick as the VP shows he's just to lame to be president. Palin, seems like a very nice person, but there is nothing to show that she has the political savvy to play in European politics or to fight crooked Enrons and Abramhofs..
This is her education,
Palin holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Idaho, where she also minored in political science.

Yes. And if you believe what he believes, then doubly yes.

While I love her values and her conservative stance I still am hesitant to embrace this choice as completely sound. We live in tough times. Should McCain drop dead before his tenor of President ended Palin would be #1. Is she qualified to deal with Iran and Russia ? I would have rather had Romney at the helm regarding that ! And when it is all said and done the real ugly not so secret reason why Romney was not chosen was simply because many of the "Evangelical" base would not vote for him SIMPLY becuase he is a Mormon. I mean I just can't believe Palin is the "best" McCain could do. If she were a man with the same credentials would he have chosen 'him'. NO. |
|
it was the worst of times.... Man did Dickens ever nail this moment a century ago in his Tale of Two Cities...
We had a wide open election this cycle, where both parties could bring their best to the people to choose from.... Is this the best that we can do???
A 47 year old Black American with questionable ties, no experience in Managing of Running something and no experience in foreign policy and someone who is on the wrong side of every national policy???? Who is supported by a 36 year Senator (Washington Insider)who has been on the wrong side of virtually every international issue and who is also on the wrong side of every National Policy Issue???
Against a 72 Year Old (Anapolis Grad) who has been a Washington Insider for over 25 years himself, who is strong on Foreign Policy but Extremely weak on the Economy, and often times wrong on National Policy?? Who is supported by a 44 year old Soccer Mom (Okay, so it's Hockey) that graduated in Journalism from the U.of Idaho, who's experience is PTA, 6 yrs on a City Council & a few years as Mayor in a town of 9,000 people, before becoming Governor of a state of 700,000 people for 18 Months???
I mean, come on??? The most powerful country in the world with the biggest Economy in the world and these folks are the best that we can choose from???
Granted, Sarah Palin shows promise.... I like her position on virtually everything.... But I also like the positions of My Mailman and the Grocery Store clerk that I talk to weekly... Positions alone do not make a viable candidate... You need to have some experience.... Both Palin and Obama are not qualified.... they need more time... Let the new child have his Mom for a couple of years while she is getting more exposure and experience...
I'm sorry GOP, you have my vote (begrudgingly)but women of America are smarter than this.... You are not giving them enough credit... I just hope that when Mac Loses, that we haven't hurt the future of Palin. |

"If something happens to McCain....
How would a President Sarah Palin handle KGB thug Putin over a Georgia-like situation?
Send him to bed with no dinner? Take away his tanks? Put him in "timeout" for an hour?"
And do you really think Obama, as President, is anywhere near ready to handle the likes of Putin and his gang of thugs? Ditto for Al Qaeda, Iran, N. Korea, Chavez, etc.? They must be laughing in their caves right about now at the possibility of having to deal with a President Barack Hussein Obama! I mean, Obama said recently that "we must confront evil with humility." BARF. I guess Obama's White House would stock up on their favorite tea and then offer to stir the cup for them. And voila! An act of humility by our fearless president will convince them to surrender all their evil demands, kneel at his feet and join with all the other Obamabots in singing, "Hail, O One we have been waiting for!" BARF. |

but when barack made himself known, coming from relative obscurity to most voters, well-can you blame us?
Some of the Obama folks dare to look at Palin this way. Palin has the executive experience to run a state not just community activism, the "outsider" gutsiness to kill the Bridge to Nowhere, challenge the status-quo and still have ovaries and 5 kids, whatever their names are (the word bourgeoisie evokes that progressiveness, a.k.a. socialist marxist belief structure). Oh, and show me that Teddy Kennedy sailing video again, got to get into the hypocrisy of the working man's party.
Not even sure, punny, if McCain was shoring up anything. Palin has energized the campaign, and we look forward to the election.

Well said, Militarybooks and so true! It also shows McCain's wisdom, something Obama and Co. are sorely lacking. |

c'mon nomad, people really can change their minds. i was a hard core hillary fan at first too. but barack showed me something much more engaging than anything hillary had to offer. we all knew hillary already, so of course many of us joined her team. but when barack made himself known, coming from relative obscurity to most voters, well-can you blame us?
it seems pretty simple to me. understand?
and really, i think that mccain would have done much better if he had gone into the "depths of washington". most presidential candidates of course choose their running mates according to what they themselves lack. thats a given, and logical. but the thing is, im trying to figure out what palins got that mccain doesnt got, besides ovaries. and five kids with outrageously suburban, bourgeoisie names.
if mccain was trying to shore something up, he has seemingly failed. |

The best response yet to the meme that Sarah Palin lacks experience came from a caller to Michael Medved's program today.
If (god forbid) she succeeds McCain to the Presidency, she can always pick Joe Biden as her VP -- et voila! Problem solved. |

You have to hand it to McCain. He has masterfully kept the Dem's from landing a significant punch during this last important convention week.
YES!!! I haven't been this motivated about not just voting, but donating and helping with campaigning. |

Hey bro, if you were for Hillary then Barack - what makes you think we will take your opinion seriously?
Your claim that Palin was to shore up McCain's weakness? Really - what the heck was Biden? For the Messiah of Hope and Change, he went into the depths of Washington DC politics to find his VP. Who is the one shoring up their weaknesses again?
Really?

........WAS the last pharagraph of Charles Krauthammer’s Editorial contribution to the Washington Post titled: “Barack Obama: International Man of Mystery”
“The oddity of this convention is that its central figure is the ultimate self-made man, a dazzling MYSTERIOUS Gatsby. The palpable apprehension is that the ANNOINTED is a stranger — a deeply engaging, elegant, brilliant stranger with whom the Democrats had a TORRID AFFAIR. Having slowly woken up, THEY SEE THE RING and wonder who exactly they MARRIED last night”.
Charles Krauthammer is a nationally syndicated columnist.
This is absolutely a probable prophetic statement. It will be interesting if we all will see it played out in devastatingly slow motion.

I have been a fan of Mitt Romney since early last year, but I am glad that Palin is the VP pick and not him. Mitt would make a great running mate, but I think he would have been seriously underutilized as an actual Vice President, and maybe even hindered from effecting real change.
Sarah Palin is a great fit for the job and the campaign. I think I can expect her to bring a conservative change to the ticket and the White House. I also expect that Mitt will continue his efforts on behalf of the country no matter what happens. |
|
Wonder where you get the sexism? I don't like to see people exploited, especially nice young people. Sorry, but your (former) Gov Sarah is by no means presidential timber at this point in her life. She's a choice to shore up big political areas of weakness that McCain has, primarily with the rightwing conservative base of the Republican party. But she highlights McCain's problems precisely. Barack's choice of Joe Biden seems now much wiser.
BTW, Hillary was my first choice, but I'm with Barack all the way. REALLY time for a change! |

You've been under water a bit too long---better consider comin' up for some air; that BLUE color in your face is not only your politics (and UCLA colors) showin' through----it's clear evidence of oxygen starvation.

I wanted Mitt as bad as anybody. I have followed his campaign daily since November 2006. Not only did I think he was a great candidate in and of himself, but I wanted to see someone break the "Mormon glass ceiling". I understand what you are saying. I am so proud of my wife for putting her career on hold to raise our two (and more to come later) children, (which was her choice), and I do think that it would be difficult to raise children as the VP. However, can't you see the importance of this election for the pro-life movement? This is probably the last chance we will have for a long time to get the court we need. Palin can bring a whole slew of voters on board. Also, she has a supportive husband who will help. While I admit that I think generally a man has the responsibility to provide for his family, sometimes whole families are called on to sacrifice for the good of the whole. (I also admire politicians who raised their families before getting into politics more than those who make careers out of politics). However, I think it is unfair of you to claim Palin cares more about fame than her children. If Mitt, a former stake president, can support her in this job, I can support her. This isn't the end of Mitt Romney. As McCain said, he has earned a place for himself in the GOP. Come on board and get behind the ticket. Follow Mitt's example. |

One favor for me, if you will.
Could you please keep count of the ranting posts of one known as, Pathetic Liberal? As I've made clear lately, he "felt" (a narcissistic display of which he is predisposed to exhibit) a great need---a few weeks ago----to announce/ publicly declare that he was, "scalin' back", from posting on these threads----'cuz, he had better things to do with his time.
I have counted 20 posts by this no-character Pathetic Liberal so far today---on just two threads, this one, and the one titled, "Not. Credible".
Anyway, I have a camping trip to leave for, climbing a couple of "fourteeners" in the Rockies, over the next few days.
I believe you understand the reason. I mean, anyone who would "feel" the NEED to emote about "having better things to do with his time" than to hang out here---with a bunch of chumps and post comments---well, it would seem to beg a certain vigilence in pointing out that he is doing everything BUT, "scalin' back".
Thank you, Shash.
To everyone here-----Happy Labor Day. And all the luck 'o the Irish to Sarah Palin and her partner, John McCain. |

In my opinion, this pick knocks the Obama campaign back on its heels and will force it to go back into the Hillary morass with a giant tube of superglue to attempt another hasty repair of an already very chipped and cracked piece of crockery.
Further, the immediate attack against her will be seen as denigrating women. Not smart.
I am (was) lukewarm to McCain, but would never vote for Obama. Ever. This pick prompted me to pull out my wallet and mail a check for $100.00 to McCain.
Ironically, my college-bound daughter emailed me just now: "Pop, Sarah Palin?!! I am so excited. Guess what I just did? I just sent Senator McCain $40.00 from my own money. I can't believe I did that, but he chose an outstanding woman, and I want to help elect her. Everyone here is talking about it, and a lot of Obama supporters are really listening now. I think I am going to pull a few along."
The pick of Joe Biden looks more like a selection from weakness, while the pick of Governor Palin looks more like a pick of core values from strength.
I smell a major turning point. Nice job, John S. McCain. No doubt about it. He is in this to win. No Bob Dole redux here.

Palin is more of grown-up than either Obama or Biden. Don't worry about Sarah. She is no shrinking violet. You hear she runs 7-8 miles each day sometime in s20 below weather.
There there is this profile in courage and true grit from WSJ:
"Gov. Palin's opted to board a jet from Dallas in April while about to deliver a child. Gov. Palin, who was eight months pregnant, says she felt a few contractions shortly before she was to give a keynote speech to an energy summit of governors in Dallas. But she says she went ahead with it after her doctor in Alaska advised her to put her feet up to rest. "I was not going to miss that speech," she says.
She rushed so quickly from the podium afterwards that Texas Gov. Rick Perry nervously asked if she was about to deliver the baby then. She made it to the airport, and gave birth hours after landing in Anchorage to Trig, who is diagnosed with Down Syndrome. "Maybe they shouldn't have let me fly, but I wasn't showing much so they didn't know," she says.

It's called "end around" in football. Or, perhaps a better football metaphor would be the, "flea-flicker".
In baseball, it's "pinch hitter" type stuff.

Romney and Pawlenty played along. Good for them.
Simple strategy stuff the feckless little Liberal would not unnerstand.
But, you do.
Good going.

This is the most astute decision that I have seen McCain make. This increases my faith in his decision making ability and his judgment of character. Palin is game-changer and true leader.
Dems should be quaking in their boots. |
|
I was a Mitt guy but Palin is a good choice. I think she is a gamble that has the potential to pay off huge as long as they can avoid having it look like too much of a gimmick. Fortunately, she is right on the issues, and she has more executive experience than Obama. Mayor v. community organizer = mayor wins. Governor v. legislator = governor wins on executive experience. Also, she is tough. The house cleaning she did in the Alaska GOP took some real courage and integrity, two qualities that Obama lacks.
Mitt is classy. I hope McCain will have a spot for him if he wins. |
|
Why does Palin have to Compare to Obama?
Just the comparison is laughable! Why is there a comparison between Obama and Palin? Obama is running for PRESIDENT - compare him to McCain, please!
Let them compare, it only pushes Obama down to barely VP material, let alone CINC. It raises Palin's profile to put her in the same magical light as the ObamaOne :)

Patriotic Liberal (now there's a non-sequitor"
Why does selecting Palin as McCain's VP take away the argument that Obama is not qualified? I don't think Palin is necessarily qualified to be president, but that doesn't mean she can't be a strong VP and be ready to be president in 8 years. Unless McCain pulls a Harrison, and dies in his first month, she should have time to learn mechanics of the job. The most important thing to me is that she has strong conservative principles and is willing to stand for what she believes. From her time as governor, I'd say she's got it. |

Not so. They were only to happy to help McCain rain on Obama's parade with out seeming to by keeping the suspense going at fever pitch and the pundits all in a lather. Great theater!
Pawlenty was going to Dayton, then he isn't.
Romney was going to Dayton, then he isn't.
Rudy was going to Dayton, then he isn't.
Pawlenty has cleared his calendar, then he isn't.
As good or better political theater than Obama's Temple of O extravaganza which by the way was produced by Britney Spears' production company. More effective and much less expensive.

"Obama

You think that Obama's "community organizing" compares with managing an entire state with a budget in the billions?
Intelligence really isn't your strong suit is it.
And given that Palin actually has a record of fighting corruption and government waste, your pathetic attempt to paint Palin as corrupt is an effort in futility. And do you really want to go down the corruption road given Obama's ties with the convicted felon Rezko? |

God bless Sarah Palin. The very best of luck to her! Age before beauty, November and May, etc. But she may be in for a hard ride. McCain chose her for all of his reasons, and none of hers. But he has to run on himself. It might have been kinder not to choose her. |

Well, one of my peeps is on the big stage.
My biggest issue with government is excessive spending and corruption. With JM and SP in the executive there is a chance at keeping the D controlled legislative somewhat in check, and potentially even some federal reform.
SP may come across a bit parochial to the snobbish, but she's as real as it gets and unlike BO, she will become more appealing the more exposure she gets. |

I would love to see Sarah campaign in some Purple and Blue states especially out West and in the Mid-West. She has those values that independents and free enterprisers love. It helps that the Messiah seems to be a bit timid picking 36 yr. Senator Joe instead of Hil. Who knows? Maybe Sarah will actually draw some of those Hil voters that BO dissed. Possible since she is real and not snarky or an empty suit. McCain should actually be looked upon as a braver and smarter guy than many of us thought. This woman will, not might, will break that glass ceiling for females and not be ashamed of her own Party Platform doing it. |

I am so jazzed over the Palin pick. Win/Lose/Draw/Attempted Steal by Democrats this is a fantastic day for conservatists. The MSM has this power to make you think your ideas don't count. You're not green enough, you don't care about poor children, everything you believe is bad. That is the goal of deconstructionist communist propaganda (if anyone wants the book list of how this is achieved, let me know). Today, a person of value who happens to be a woman is prominently displayed, and the media cannot snow us over. Change? Palin is change we can believe in - she is one of us and really puts the Obamabot sycophants in their true light. Thank you Senator McCain for energizing your base, the center and possibly some reality-based leftists.

Really, folks want to compare the "Alaskan National Guard" to being on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, writing foreign policy legislation, and being the American leader that everyone overseas is ready to deal with? And you want to bring up the memory of NATIONAL GUARD duty?? Really?
You want to say that being the mayor of an 8,000 person town is more impressive than representing a State Legislative district 20 times that size?
Wow. That's both politically and mathematically astonishing.
|
|
Ran an organization that had over 700 volunteers.
That's about the size of the town Palin was mayor of before she became governor not even two years ago.
And despite her super-short tenure, she's already had time to have a special investigator appointed to look into her for corruption (and considering that Alaska is one of the most corrupt states in the country, it's hardly surprising).

Lefties never realize they just lost an election until after at least two recounts and three lawsuits -- if then.
Please, please let them keep bringing up experience so that we can contrast her rise from small-town mayor, to head of the Alasak Oil and Gas Commission, to most popular governor in the country with Obama's rise in the Chicago machine, and Biden's decades of wind-generation in the least popular institution in America.
And how wonderful to have a ticket with not one lawyer on it.
My wife just had lunch with four "independent" friends and they are thrilled with Sarah.
Wave the flag, this one's all but over. |

This is contradiction in terms. You are either patriotic or liberal. I believe you must be a liberal.
Now, what is your beef with Sarah? Inexperienced? Did not spend 20 years listening to a racist anti-Semitic crap in Chicago church? Does not have terorist friends? Criminal friends? Did not achieve an iota of success except being a "community organizer" with failed record?
If those are her deficiencies, then, yes, she is not good for the Democratic Party. I fully understand your criticism of her. But we Republicans are modest people. We'll take her, Mr. Liberal.
By the way, what is liberal? Someone who liberated France from the Nazis or Iraq from Saddam Hussein? Maybe ended up Communism in Eastern Europe? Tell me more, because, you know, as a conservative I'm not very smart; I cling to my gun, my bible and hate liberals.

how good a choice is by the reaction. The dems here and on TV are coming unhinged again. So McCain made a smart political choice. The louder they scream about inexperience the more focused people will become on the O ones lack of any experience.

For Obama's camp to criticize Palin's "lack of experience in foreign affairs" is laughable. She is running for VP and still has more experience than Obama. Obama has "zero" experience in foreign affairs and is running for the presidency! That's why he chose Biden as his VP, to shore up his lack of confidence and knowledge in that area. So from the Democrat's point of view, I guess it's alright for Obama to do on the job foreign affairs training as long as Biden is at his side to coach him, but it's not OK for Palin to learn from President McCain's experience. So there you have it - the old Democratic double standard, with a twist. But before you pull the lever on Election Day, picture this: a ruminating, intellectualizing Obama sweating bullets when a call comes in that Iran has fired a nuke into Israel, while Old Joe holds his hand and fumbles about what to do next. No thanks, I will vote for McCain-Palin and feel much safer about my country's security. |

It is good to see that the Republicans have selected adults to run the country while the Dems have selected lying narcissists. |
|
I almost never post these days but thought I would check some messages to see Obama fans heads exploding and I was not disappointed.
Clearly the talking point is that McCain lost his experience advantage - an admission of course that said advantage existed and was important. What about the change we were promised by Obama?
Joe Biden? Laughable, and a middle finger to all the Hillary voters, especially the females. |

Here, too, you may be playing women for fools. She's the candidate. She's open to challenge. Women understand that, even if you think they don't.. |

Obama's MSM is spinning like never before:
Andrea Mitchell begs for us to remember the Obama, "And all this breaking news about the Republican ticket. Barack Obama—remember Barack Obama?"
George Snuffaluffagus falsely impugns Palin by leaving out a few facts (go figure),
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/justin-mccarthy/2008/08/29/ste phanopoulos-ties-palin-corrupt-alaska-gop-without-telling-w hole-
Matty Lauer asks the important experience question to not Obama:
"We have a 72 year-old nominee of the Republican Party and the vice presidency...This is a position of a heart beat away and how are people going to feel about Sarah Palin in that situation?" --- isn't ageism one of the other isms that we protect? Guess not, if your 4 years older than Biden
And the best, CNN's John Robert's playing the poor children card in a very nuanced way (kinda like telling women to get back in the house and take care of the kids):
"There's also this issue that on April 18th, she gave birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome.... Children with Down's syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?"
Despicable propagandists, the new Communism.

THE INEXPERIENCED TOP OF THE TICKET OBAMA, THROW- ING STONES AT REP., BOTTOM VP PICK IS LAUGHABLE! THE HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY! THE UNWISE ROOKIES SNUB OF CLINTON AND DISREGARD FOR HER I8 MILLION PLUS SUPPORTERS BROUGHT THIS ON! WE'RE NOT SO WORRIED ABOUT SARAS FOREIGN EXPERTISE, SHE WILL DEPEND ON THE PRESIDENT, AS IT SHOULD BE, WHILE A ROOKIE
'O' PRESIDENT HAS TO DEPEND ON HIS 'VP' PICK JOE BIDEN, HA! UNWISE OBAMA GAVE MCCAIN A GIFT WHEN THEY DISRESPECTED THE CLINTONS. EX DEMOCRAT |
|
Rather than thinking that McCain lost his 'inexperienced' advantage by the pick, the Obama fans might want to consider that THEIR GUY lost the 'change' mantra by nominating a guy who has been in D.C. since the Nixon days.
Now the McCain camp has both experience and change - but in the proper order on the ticket.
Oh yeah, and wasn't it the Democrats who have said for 8 years that Cheney was the Bush puppet master on foreign affairs - is this what Democrats are wanting to promote now with Biden as Obama's puppet master? Do they want to go down that road?
What is the over/under on how many Clinton primary voters just solidified with McCain (rather than stay home) - 5 million? |

Sarah is not a problem in the national security area. She is the head of the Alaska National Guard. In that role, she has been well briefed on national security issues. This is particularly true in light of the importance of Alaska in relationship to Asia.
Keep bringing up the issues of experience. In every area, Sarah Palin is more experienced than Bambi with the exception of experience in the far left area, i.e. Rev Wright, Rezko, Father Phlager, Ayers and Dohrn where Bambi clearly has more experienced. Not to mention the muslim operative who helped him get into Harvard and his high school mentor who was a well known communist or communist sympathizer.
I think Bambi's comment about his grandmother being a "typical white person" says all we need to know about how Bambi thinks of and treats women. |

When the World Wide Web first became available, I taught my kids how to discern factual argument from polemic. My high-schooler was doing a report on the Holocaust, and we looked at sites including deniers'. Here are some tests:
1. Is the content full of facts, or just a lot of argument?
2. Are terms like "everybody knows" or "common knowledge" or "it's obvious" used or does the writer rely on facts and evidence?
3. Is the case stated clearly and then left to the reader, or does the writer seem to be screaming (like Hitler was known for) and name-calling?
A person arguing a valid position has and uses facts and presents evidence. S/he does not need to yell or scream or name-call, or to plead "common sense" or any other vague concept.

Here in Colorado, Sarah is our kind of people. I just sent John McCain 2300 expressions of approval. |
|
the GOP is not trying to attract hardline anti-life feminists. It is trying to attract blue collar and Reagan Democrats. Many of these people are Reagan Democrats because of the pro-life issue.
Plus, and I am not sure this is true, but I heard that Palin belongs or belonged to a union. I do not think Bambi or Biden have ever belonged to a union. |
|
"Believe me--this is not bluster--I am delighted with the choice."
Well so am I, and so are the VAST MAJORITY of conservatives who have been luke warm at best towards McCain thus far. McCain won't have a problem attracting a nice chunk of the independents and Reagan Democrats. His weakness has always been the possibility of a base that wasn't energized with most saying they would just stay home. Those same conservatives are now saying that they are sending money to his campaign and are willing to get involved in the grass roots level.
You think it is a weak choice. You are free to your opinion. But you would be wrong in holding it. |

I love Mitt! Would have loved to see him as VP. But to tell the truth, I feel VP would waste his immense talents. He will campaign long and hard for
Mc Cain/Palin in Michigan, in the west, and anywhere else he is asked without any negative drawbacks to the Republican ticket. I hear talk of him being the chairman of the RNC when the elections are all over. He'd be great there, too. He has it all and maybe will still one day be POTUS. In the meantime, I would not expect anything but graciousness from this terrific man. I know he will have a place in the Republican party for many years to come.
Go Sarah! PALIN POWER! |

other blogs and have noticed most of the attacks on Sarah Palin are coming from male Democrats and progressives. Anybody catch a whiff of male chauvinism.
Do the Bambi supporters really imagine they will attract women voters by attacking and ridiculing Governor Palin. |

"Correction: Not even FORMER long-time associations. He's not claiming he ever left Ayers behind." dooz
I stand corrected. I was focused on Wright, Pfleger, etc. You know, those he'd already thrown under the bus, like his grandmother.
Which leads to the speculative thought, WHY hasn't he thrown Ayers under the bus?
Could it have to do with a FAR closer relationship than he can admit too?
For those unaware:
Barak met Michelle @ a Chicago law firm where AT THAT TIME, Bernadine Dohrn (Ayers wife & an even more rabid terrorist) worked ALSO.
Ayers gave a 33 yr old Obama with NO executive experience, the job of running a nonprofit that accomplished nothing (their own admission) beyond handing out 100million to NOW 'missing' donors...
Ayers LAUNCHED Obama's political career with a fund-raiser at his own HOME.

"That he is willing to choose someone utterly unqualified,"
Um...your ENTIRE PARTY nominated someone utterly unqualified, it didn't seem to bother you all one bit.
And Palin is wholly more qualified to be president than Obama is. Do tell us again what Obama's executive experience is? |
|
|
Palin has as much foreign "experience" as Clinton when he became President. That novice defeated a President who wrote the book on foreign experience. Since Carter, we have preferred to elect governors because we want government executives with experience in making an executive branch work and who understand the bigger picture of policy. U.S. Senators only critize and vote on policy and don't have to manage anything larger than an office staff. When it comes to executing foreign POLCIY, we want someone who starts from a proper foundation of values and principles that puts American interests first and does not apologize to the world for who we are. Palin believes in America, Obama does not. |

We'll keep our experience and call your argument for change.
Change is a neutral word and can mean detriment as much as it means benefit. We'll take reform so that a country that is and has always been great can be made even more so. |
|
She STILL has more executive experience then the man on the TOP of your ticket.
But do go ahead and try to criticize Palin for her lack of experience, it will only serve to magnify Obama's paper thin resume`. |
|
Palin, the Harriet Meyers of VP picks. Sure, any lawyer can become a Supreme Court Justice, and any governor can become President, but...
Pardon me while I laugh all the way to November. |
|
What does that say about Mac's judgement? That he is willing to choose someone utterly unqualified, if that is what it takes to step on Barack's bounce? That is a political hack, not a principled leader.
Believe me--this is not bluster--I am delighted with the choice. We all are. |

"Please keep talking about Sarah Palin's inexperince in foreign affairs. By reason of just her work with Canada, she's light years ahead Obama."
I've never really thought of Canada as foreign in terms of cultural differences from the US. Mexico maybe, but Canada? I've spent quite a bit of time doing consulting work in both countries; I guess that makes me a foreign affairs expert too. Hugh sure knows how to strettttttch 'em.

"Now, you GOPers can't complain about Obama's lack of experience ...

Please do explain how Biden's "experience" has led to wisdom in making judgements. I do believe on the seminal issue for you donks, Biden disagreed with the top of his own ticket regarding Iraq. |
|
|
the Dems will talk up her inexperience. The more we discuss it, the more it takes the bite out of the one decent argument you had. Thank you, Senator McCain. |
|
You are obviously shaken by it given the vacuous objections raised here.
Two UNDENIABLE facts.
1) This pick completely takes Obama's speech off the news cycle.
2) This pick has completely re-energized the conservative base.
As was the case with Bush in 04, McCain couldn't win without a strong turnout from his base. This pick goes a long way towards shoring up his conservative support. |
|
Here is a link to a couple of Palin Video's:
http://www.cspan.org/
One is the great acceptance speech, and you can see the crowd go crazy :)
Another is from 2/24/08, and she takes on a number of issues.
If you have not seen her speak, these videos will help you get a feel for her style. She is very straight talk. |
|
"Now, you GOPers can't complain about Obama's lack of experience ...
Now compare McCain's pick with Obama's: a man with solid foreign policy experience, six terms in Washington and real relationships with leaders across the globe."
Sure we can. She has MORE EXECUTIVE experience than Obama and Biden combined! That experience counts because its the EXECUTIVE branch.
Biden's solid foreign policy experience led to him advocating the partition of Iraq and continuing to insist it was a good idea even after EVERYONE but Obama acknowledged the success of the surge.
Six terms in Washington undercuts Obama's call for change and Biden has 'accomplished' precious little. He's not a good legislator because he's the 3rd most liberal member...
Real relationships? Please, he's a senator. His 'leverage' with foreign leaders is limited by his inability to deliver and his RECORD proves that assertion.
PRESIDENTS have REAL relationships. |

First, McCain/Palin has substance. Both have real merit in their experience and in their positions.
But even so: Dems have one with looks and one who's old, and now so do the Republicans. |

Democratic congresspeople and pundits are all over cable news reminding us that Palin is only a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Palin was probably the best pick from what was a small pool to begin with; she's going to have some challenges ahead though. Regarding questions about her experience, one has to remember that she isn't running for U.S. presidient. It's not like she's a complete novice either; she already has executive experience as a governor. She's also perceived as a Washington outsider, and a normal average American. Obama talks a lot about "change", but she and McCain epitomize the kind of change we really need in this nation now. A big plus too: she doesn't have all those soundbites like brilliant Biden (who was heard saying that Obama wasn't ready to be prez) that could potentially bite back McCain. |
|
|
Seems to me you don't think very highly of women voters. My own take is that the ones who are drawn to Mac as a result of this pick were just looking for an excuse not to vote for BHO--and wouldn't have voted for him anyway. There were other, more credible and qualified females--Hutchison, Dole, Snowe. THEY could have pulled in the crowd you were referring to. Instead, he choses a naif. Well, we'll see how it looks later. Right now, though, stepping on Barack's convention bounce seems a pretty gimmicky basis for choosing a prospective POTUS. Pretty darn unserious. It leeches from his persona as a wise old head. |
|
keep talking about Sarah Palin's inexperience. Also, let's hear more of your disparaging of her coming from, "small-town America". It is so consistent with other comments you've made about the people from Pennsylvania who "cling to their guns and bibles". What a loser.
Keep it up, Barack.
You have zippo-experience in running for the POTUS and yet, you accuse teh republican V.P. candidate of this very thing. She's the v.p., idiot. Not the same thing as yoru situation. |

Here's a woman who never intended to get into politics. In the course of raising her family she became involved in her community.

It's a happy day and this choice will hopefully get more of us involved in this process. |

1.) Her husband is a working member of the, United Steel Workers Union.
2.) She is a mother of 5 children (great family values).
3.) She obviously loves life.
a.) Has taken a active role in immersing herself in raising the 5 children she birthed.
b.) She is an avid outdoors person; snowmobiling enthusiast.
c.) She got involved with local community issues with no intent in getting involved with higher level politics.
3.) has successfully fought corruption in her local community and state of Alaska.
4.) told the U.S. Senate, "thanks, but, no thanks", on the financing of the, "Bridge-to-Nowhere" project. Said that is Alaska needed a bridge, they would pay for it themselves. She nixed that project altogether.
5.) has spent billions in establishing an Alaskan infrastructure for gas pipelines which will contribute to the USA's interest to gain energy independence.

Craven?
If she is not presidential material because of inexperience, how does that not apply even more to Obama?
Palin's resume proves that she is far more than a 'gimmick'
You're just pissed he picked a woman because it undercuts Obama's faux 'change' shtick...
Obama is the one who is going to look stupid in 3-4 wks and we'll see if you have the integrity to eat your own words.
Never fear, there WILL be a stealth anti-bama vote.
An Obama tone-deaf campaign ensures it.
Obama's own words and former long-term associations guarantee it. |
|
The bottom of the ticket looks great!
Now, you GOPers can't complain about Obama's lack of experience anymore when your 72-year-old candidate has picked when could have a former Miss Alaska with two terms years under her belt as governor.
Now compare McCain's pick with Obama's: a man with solid foreign policy experience, six terms in Washington and real relationships with leaders across the globe.

Markets are smart, but they are also prone to volatility--to uncertainty that is defined and shaped by the psychology of the moment. The psychology of this moment is the natural excitement of filling out the ticket. I imagine Barack popped a point or two when Biden was selected. Let's see what Intrade is saying in three or four or five weeks.
And in any event, this is a hard election to handicap. Polls matter less. IMHO, there is a stealth vote out there. We just don't know if it is anti-Barack or pro-Barack. We don't know and Intrade doesn't know. Especially now, in the hysteria of the moment. My sense of perspective says this was a terrible pick, and you'll all be thinking it in a month or two. Could be wrong. I've been wrong before.. |

Malkin loves the pick. That should give some assurance to the no amnesty voters. Maybe it won't. Who knows? http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/29/poll-time-are-you-pum ped/

Patriotic Liberal. The game is indeed over. McCain stomps on Obama's post-speech excitement with this pick. A week after the GOP convention, McCain will be up by at least 5%. Women delegates at the Democratic convention were openly threatening not to vote for Obama, and that was before McCain picked Palin. Enough democrat women will vote for McCain/Palin for him to win.
As to Gary's comment: "We are no better than the Dems pandering for votes without regard to what is best for the nation." If the best thing for the nation is for McCain to win, and if this is what it takes, then this pick is the best thing for the nation. McCain will probably survive in office long enough for Palin to gain enough experience to take over. His mom is alive & sharp as a tack. Besides, I'd take Paris Hilton as president over Joe Biden. |
|
|
Excellent pick by McCain as it absolutely destroys any momentum the Dems had coming out of their fantasy world convention. Obama's executive experience is less than most managers of Burger Kings or 7-Elevens, yet they will try and rip on Palin for her lack of experience. This is hilarious. Obama's credibility is zero, especially when you look at what some of his real experience is...we need to find out exactly what his experience was running the Chicago Annenberg Challenge with terrorst mentor and friend William Ayers! |

HOWEVER, it does not dilute the fact that Pathetic Liberal is a narcissistic liar:

2.) claims he has, "better things to do with his time", which proves to be a load of crap. He's now proven that indeed he does not have "better" things to do with his time rather than posting repetitive, school-girlish nonsense on the threads on this site. He's still here, posting.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Mitt was as far as I was willing to go as a nose-holding vote. He had at least come over to the side of American citizens opposing amnesty. McCain is unacceptable, he still sides with illegal aliens and their employers. His choice of VP makes no difference as they diminish themselves by signing onto amnesty. |

The most embarrassing pick ever made by a Presidential Candidate. McCain picked a newby and passed over highly qualified people in order to say he picked a woman.

Going to the matresses for McCain:
Moments later, Robert Duvall and James Caan walk slowly past the front desk, their younger wives following two paces behind. The two Hollywood veterans--who starred together in The Godfather--are laughing heartily as they passed. I interrupt them to ask what they thought about McCain. Caan is surprised that McCain was so funny, Duvall is not.
Duvall, who just finished doing the voiceovers for the McCain videos that will be show next week at the Republican National Convention, points to McCain's national security experience. "He's an American hero. He's got character. He's been around." Duvall pauses. "The other guy? I just don't know."...
Duvall then picks up our conversation from where we left it before the interruption. He is incensed by comments Gore Vidal made about McCain back in June. Vidal had questioned McCain's heroism. "Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?"
Duvall doesn't think much of Vidal, whom he called "an American icon-slash-dilettante." It's not only John McCain who could kick Vidal's a$$.
"His 96 year-old mother could beat the crap out of Gore Vidal with her shoe," Duvall says. "And you can quote me on that."

Had McCain selected a pro-choice V.P., people would have understood that as a betrayal of the pro-life cause; a selection of V.P. with a history of supporting activist judges would have been seen as a betrayal on judicial appointments; so why isn't Palin's selection a bit of a betrayal to National Security, in which she apparently has absolutely no experience.
We're in a war in Afghanistan and Iraq, China and Russia are flexing their muscle, and this is the best we could do? It sounds like an unserious selection in that regard; but perhaps McCain has that under control, and his Def. Secretary will make up for it.
You've said the war and judges are the biggest issues for you. You can't tell me you're happy with the former issue. |

Keep wishing that Palin will flop. She didn't get where she is by being stupid. The comments of the liberal ilk only further show the disdain held for strong women among the Obama supporters. The more you talk about inexperience and tokenism, the more Clinton voters we get.\
You Obama worshippers just don't get it. |
