McCain Picks Palin

[Mr. Peabody]

Confirmed by MSNBC.....

[Mr. Peabody]

Wow. Interesting pick, but how can McCain now criticize Obama for being inexperienced...? Two years ago, Palin was mayor of a city that only has 5,000 citizens. It's like picking the mayor of Seguin to be a running mate.

[IceColdBrewski]

She's a VPILF

[JoeChalupa]

Only time will tell if women will flock to McCain and make a difference.

[florige]

Good idea, bad idea?? Explain......

[Anti.Hero]

VPILF hahaha


And so it was coined on Spurstalk.com August 29, 2008.






Boutons you better have a good term for the Alaskan Bubbas. Be creative.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

She's a VPILF

Yep.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Oh, and BTW, can you have an October surprise in August? Well, we just saw it.

[Das Texan]

She is 1000000% pro life.


Thats going to go well with oh so many Hillary supporters.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Boutons you better have a good term for the Alaskan Bubbas. Be creative.

Might I suggest Eskimorons?

Between McCain's age and health and the fact that Obama skin color will paint a target on his back, front and side for plenty of psychos, that line about "one heartbeat away from the presidency" looms large in this election. Glancing at the resumes thus far Biden's is looking a lot more impressive.

[Gino]

She's a VPILF

AWESOME!

She is though! Not bad at all.

[JoeChalupa]

Okay, I'd hit it.

You win the internets.

Thread over.

Move along citizens, nothing more to see here.

[1369]

Wow. Interesting pick, but how can McCain now criticize Obama for being inexperienced...? Two years ago, Palin was mayor of a city that only has 5,000 citizens. It's like picking the mayor of Seguin to be a running mate.

Since Palin has been Governor for a year and Obama has around 145 days in the Senate, I'd say McCain can still use the inexperience card.

Probably won't carry as much weight though.

That's a little PG for boutons, I'm thinking Alaskunts

Have you glanced at McCain's and Obama's respective resumes?

[Gino]

:wow

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Palin's selection answers energy policy issues, that's for sure.

[Oh, Gee!!]

over/under on when Bill Clinton volunteers to campaign with McCain

My first thought was: Isn't he English?

But I like your picture better :lol

[I Love Me Some Me]

Finally, a government official I can jack off to.

[T Park]

Shes been begging the federal government to drill in Alaska.

Lets see the Liberal media bash a woman this will be great :lol


She is a huge fiscal responsibility activist. The state of Alaska's previous governor had a jet and she sold it on eBay and made a profit :lmao

She does stand for civil unions which to me is awesome as well.


This will be quite interesting to see how this goes.

[Trainwreck2100]

You've never cranked one out to Lady Liberty? WTF kind of American are you?

Thats a younger picture of her :lol

If only people didn't actually consider policy, yeah.

[T Park]

IIRC, she was on TV in the winter or spring can't remember either one, she was like, practically begging for drilling in Alaska saying PLEASE COME UP HERE!!! WE WANT IT! :lol

[JoeChalupa]

I bet she gives a great spanking.

[johnsmith]

If only people didn't actually consider policy, yeah.

We have 2 1/2 months to discuss policy, for now, let's just bask in the glow of the first hot chick that could be in office.

[Trainwreck2100]

Not even the interns have been hot

[T Park]

She just a few months ago gave birth to a down syndrome child, so that MIGHT play here, who knows.

[Trainwreck2100]

Not even the interns have been hot

not even the daughters have been hot

[ChumpDumper]

Good affirmative action choice.

[xrayzebra]

Wow. Interesting pick, but how can McCain now criticize Obama for being inexperienced...? Two years ago, Palin was mayor of a city that only has 5,000 citizens. It's like picking the mayor of Seguin to be a running mate.

Well now she is the Governor of a state. And I understand her approval ratings are like 80 percent.

I approve the choice. A good one.

Besides you are going to vote for a neighborhood organizer. Who likes his friends from the far, far, far left.

[T Park]

not even the daughters have been hot

Ehhh the Bush daughters weren't bad...

[T Park]

Good affirmative action choice.

I could say the same about the Democratic Party.

[T Park]

Well now she is the Governor of a state. And I understand her approval ratings are like 80 percent.

Yeah she supposedly is extremely popular up there after getting the previous governor kicked out for ethics violations.

[ChumpDumper]

I could say the same about the Democratic Party.Sure, but this wasn't the voters' choice -- it was McCain's.

And most Democrats support affirmative action.

[T Park]

Sure, but this wasn't the voters' choice -- it was McCain's.

Hmmmm ok.

[xrayzebra]

I would say she isn't that bad.

[midgetonadonkey]

How can she be VP when she can't even have normal children?

[T Park]

Geraldine Ferraro thinks she will be persuasive to Clinton voters..

[xrayzebra]

How can she be VP when she can't even have normal children?

Nice, very nice. Idiot!:depressed

[T Park]

Hilarious.

Vogue? Really? :lol

[J.T.]

If she does a Hustler spread I will vote for McCain.

[T Park]

:lol @ the "bulldog" being mr tough guy to a woman and how that would be percieved. I can't wait to see that debate :lol

She's been governor for a little over 18 months of a state that has 600,000 people and is ranked 45th in gross state product.

Interesting pick.

[monosylab1k]

Don't know anything about her except that she's a nice slice of MILF :tu I'd give her the time.

[Gino]

This pick was a stroke of GENIUS....

Remember when Obama picked Biden?

*YAWN*

Not only is this pick gonna get McCain MORE VOTES (something picking Biden won't do for Obama), it totally steals Obama's thunder from last night.

Can anyone say they saw THIS one coming?

I wouldn't have seen it coming had Obama picked Phil Hardberger as VP, but that wouldn't necessarily make it a good idea....

[clambake]

:lmao that dork on fox said she has foreign policy experience because alaska is next door to russia. :lmao

Hey you never know, maybe she prevented Red Dawn from happening.

[Gino]

Picking Joe Biden is like McCain picking Pawlantey. Wouldn't do ANYTHING for him.

I don't think anyone's going to believe the McCain/Palin = Bush/Cheney.

I bet Obama wishes he could change his VP pick right about now.

It'll get him PR coverage thats for sure. As to how voters react, I don't know. He was going to get PR coverage no matter who he picked, his convention starts soon.

I have no clue how voters will react if they react much at all.

[whottt]

Palin was the point guard and captain for the Wasilla High School Warriors, in Wasilla, Alaska, when they won the Alaska small-school basketball championship in 1982; she earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" because of her intense play.[4] She played the championship game despite a stress fracture in her ankle, hitting a critical free throw in the last seconds.[4] Palin, who was also the head of the school Fellowship of Christian Athletes, would lead the team in prayer before games.[4]

Go ahead Spurfans...say you don't like.


:lmao

[lurker]

As a woman who voted for Hillary, I find it insulting that the Republicans think I'm stupid enough to overlook the fact that McCain goes against just about everything I believe in and vote for him simply because he chose a no-experience trick with a vagina as his VP.

McCain will likely croak during his first term if elected, so Miss Congeniality would be our leader. Frightening.

[Supergirl]

McSame is banking on Clinton supporters being really, really stupid, cause this pick is pure pandering and reeks of desperation. But I think it spells bad news for McSame, because I don't think Clinton supporters are that stupid.

[Supergirl]

I don't think anyone's going to believe the McCain/Palin = Bush/Cheney.

Oh I don't think so. I think Obama is thinking - wow, McSame really doesn't even think he can win this election. Niiiiiice.

[sontinospurs]

Lets see the Liberal media bash a woman this will be great :lol


She is a huge fiscal responsibility activist. The state of Alaska's previous governor had a jet and she sold it on eBay and made a profit :lmao

This will be quite interesting to see how this goes.

So, I guess you're alright with her being the leader of the free world if McCain kicks the bucket? Be honest Biden is going to eat her lunch in the debates....

[Gino]

I can't wait for Biden to attack her credentials......

What will he say when she points out she has more executive experience than all three men combined?

[whottt]

McSame is banking on Clinton supporters being really, really stupid, cause this pick is pure pandering and reeks of desperation. But I think it spells bad news for McSame, because I don't think Clinton supporters are that stupid.


So wait...you were going to vote for McCain and now you're not?

[MannyIsGod]

How many conservatives will be pissed he didn't pick Romney?

[MannyIsGod]

I can't wait for Biden to attack her credentials......

What will he say when she points out she has more executive experience than all three men combined?

I don't know but I'd personally love it if she made that claim. Nothing like a VP candidate trying to upstage the real candidate.

[angel_luv]

She is 1000000% pro life.



Is she?

So far so good. I would love to have a women candidate I could feel proud about voting for.

[MannyIsGod]

Many women (and men for that matter) are dumb enough to vote based on something as shallow as gender so it will without a doubt get him some votes. No matter who you pick it gains you votes. But it also loses you votes. Will this be a net gain or a net loss?

[whottt]

Plus she's hot...

How insulting is it that you believe the only reason McCain selected her as a running mate is because he believes it will get him the woman vote.


Thats sexism at its worst.

[angel_luv]

How many conservatives will be pissed he didn't pick Romney?

Someone had suggested to me that Senator McCain was going to pick Romney to secure the Mormons' votes.

He said Mormons represent 6% of the vote.

So wait...you're saying the people who will change votes becuase he picked a woman are going to instead go vote for a man named Hussein?

[Gino]

I don't know but I'd personally love it if she made that claim. Nothing like a VP candidate trying to upstage the real candidate.

True, but the women would LOVE IT!!!

[angel_luv]

Plus she's hot...

:lol

But is she a Spurs fan???

[MannyIsGod]

So wait...you're saying the people who will change votes becuase he picked a woman are going to instead go vote for a man named Hussein?

You don't think there's people out there who are sexist but not racist?

[Whisky Dog]

Man, this is getting more interesting by the minute. We may get another leader who fucks things up, we may actually get someone competent, but either way this is entertaining.

[T Park]

She's a fiscal conservative PERFECT!!!!!!! :)

But you'll vote for a no experience trick with a penus?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

There's a woman standing behind McCain who just learned women can vote.

[lurker]

How insulting is it that you believe the only reason McCain selected her as a running mate is because he believes it will get him the woman vote.


Thats sexism at its worst.

You're extremely naive if you think this choice wasn't based on gender. The Republicans have spent the past year attacking Obama on his lack of experience, but then they saw the angry Hillary supporters and that light bulb above their heads turned on. Sarah would not have even been considered if Hillary hadn't gotten as many votes as she did during the primaries.

[JoeChalupa]

She looks good and the "Father & Daughter" look could do them good.

People are going to vote against Obama because he's black and others will vote against McCain because he's 72 years old. Is voting bias regarding to Palin's gender any different?

[J.T.]

Fuck the pro lifers, that's all I gotta say.

If a man doesn't want the responsibility of raising children, I think he should be able to walk away from that. But at least with an abortion the kid doesn't have to grow up without a dad.

No more comfortable than a guy with less experience who just babbled the same rhetoric over and over. Biden is another Lieberman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin


Palin was born in Idaho and raised in Alaska. In 1984, she was the runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, receiving a scholarship that allowed her to attend the University of Idaho, where she received a degree in journalism. After working as a sports reporter at an Anchorage television station, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council from 1992 to 1996, was elected mayor of Wasilla (population 5,470 in 2000) in 1996, and ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor in 2002.

Interesting lady.
I like that she was a writer and likes sport. I know that has nothing to do with her ability to be a good vice president, but it makes her personable at least.

[ATRAIN]

Anyone know what song she came out too when McCain announced her? What movie did it come out in? Its driving me crazy!!

[T Park]

Wow lol um yeah ok.......

[angel_luv]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin


Sarah and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school, and the family regularly ran 5k and 10k races

wow- :lol


She played the championship game despite a stress fracture in her ankle, hitting a critical free throw in the last seconds

If the VP thing doesn't work out, sign her to the Spurs. :lol

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

wow- :lol



If the VP thing doesn't work out, sign her to the Spurs. :lol

Because the best thing the Spurs can ask for is another gimpy guard with a bum ankle... :lol

[whottt]

You don't think there's people out there who are sexist but not racist?

I'd say anyone that is sexist, or racist, is xenophobic first and foremost....and Obama is not going to appeal to anyone that is xenophobic...and that's a lot of Americans right now with regards to Mid-Easterners. And yes I know he's an American and isn't from the Mid-East...but he's still got the name. He still comes off as an outsider more than anything else.

[T Park]

Fuck the pro lifers, that's all I gotta say.

Wow really?

Thats the million dollar question - isn't it? Which bias is the greatest one?

[whottt]

It's funny how everyone thinks Obama got something from nominating Biden...he got nothing from that dude.


That dude doesn't even make a ripple in the Presidential Races, and he never has.



I just don't like Biden...I actually like Obama a lot more than I like Biden and I dislike Biden so much it's made me lean away from Obama.

[MannyIsGod]

I think McCain is making efforts to get votes from the middle and from the other side of the aisle but I think he needs to be most concerned about the ones in this base.

Until I see proof that this will do anymore more than provide some shallow pandering to women voters (women voters who have a clue about women's rights aren't voting for mccain anyway) then I am of the opinion Romney was his better choice.

I don't think he got much from the Biden pick. I don't think anyone ever really gets a lot from VP picks though.

[Mr. Body]

Literally the weakest VP pick since Quayle. She could do something down the road, but wow. A bit of a reach there, eh? No experience, nothing to run on. Has 'rock ribbed' Republican values - is even a creationist. And clearly done as an electoral ploy to go after PUMAs and dissolve the attention from the Dem convention. Again the Republicans don't campaign to govern, they campaign to campaign. They win and then don't know what to do when they get there.

This'll get a bounce in interest, but she's really weak. Word is she hasn't even been vetted yet.

I know it's all about net gain and loss, but I have a feeling Palin satisfies a significant amount of the conservative base.

[T Park]

either way we've got something to tell the kids about when they open their history books and ask about the historical 08 election...

[whottt]

You guys are overlooking one major thing...


A hot woman trumps any racial and gender bias...always has.


You find me the biggest white supremacist in the world and I guarantee you if you stick him in a room with Halle Berry for the weekend he is going to overcome his racism at some point during that weekend.

I'm pretty sure she was vetted... she's been talking in recent days like she was on the short list.

Pat Buchanan did say this was the riskiest move in political history, though, and I think I agree with him about that.

:tu


Palin kept her campaign promises by reducing her own salary, as well as reducing property taxes by 60%.[

Palin is strongly pro-life, a supporter of capital punishment (which is not a pro-life position),[28] and belongs to Feminists for Life.[9]

Uh.... I don't know about those last two, particularly the Feminists for Life part.

Polls, if they matter, went down slightly because he wasn't HRC, but that was expected. Biden will be a pretty strong Veep. He looks like Alexander the Great compared to what just blew in from Alaska.

I agree with Pat but who knows how women will react and that is the Voters McCain is going after. He already has the conservatives in hand and now that Palin is kissing Hillary's ass and mentioning her 18 mil votes.

[implacable44]

I think McCain is making efforts to get votes from the middle and from the other side of the aisle but I think he needs to be most concerned about the ones in this base.

Romney would have been great to raise money... for the economy and he looks presidential.

Palin is 100% pro-life, Life-long NRA member, she hunts - she fishes - she has a glider plane she flies -- mother of 5 - full of character -- she was appoint to the ethics board by the Gov she defeated and resigned when she saw the lack of ethics. She is solid. Not to mention - you will never hear the "experience" attack from the libtards -- nor will you hear them attack her gender - or being a mother with a special needs child - how can someone from the left be that hypocritical -- they can't can they??????

She is conservative to the core !

best of all - you will not hear from Himary for President again.

[JoeChalupa]

Now tell me McCain wasn't going for the women's vote.

[angel_luv]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin


The two eloped shortly after Palin graduated from college; when they learned they needed witnesses for the civil ceremony, they recruited two residents from the old-age home down the street

That is awesome! :lol

[whottt]

Polls, if they matter, went down slightly because he wasn't HRC, but that was expected. Biden will be a pretty strong Veep. He looks like Alexander the Great compared to what just blew in from Alaska.



You sure did use a lot of words to type, "I'm sexist" :smokin

[Mr. Body]

I'm pretty sure she was vetted... she's been talking in recent days like she was on the short list.

Pat Buchanan did say this was the riskiest move in political history, though, and I think I agree with him about that.

There's a quote floating about how she just sent them a few documents, not the usual rigamarole. But that could have been smokescreen.

This is pretty risky, and slightly baffling. But McCain didn't have a lot of options.








(Word is, it wasn't his pick anyway.)

[JoeChalupa]

I think McCain just put a damper on Obama's rise, how ever slight, in the polls. Let the games begin.

[T Park]

She is even a creationist ? woah -- is that totally the worst thing ever or what dude ?

[Mr. Body]

I think McCain just put a damper on Obama's rise, how ever slight, in the polls. Let the games begin.

It'll be interesting. The American electorate is flightly, batty, fruity, and more than a little stupid. They can get swayed by this stuff.

[T Park]

Now tell me McCain wasn't going for the women's vote.


You mean like Barack the past couple days?

[Mr. Body]

It's pretty bad. I like science and fossil records and alternative energy and progress and a healthy economy and don't want to live in a cave. You guys, you're welcome to if you want. But please don't screw up stem cell research and progress for the rest of us, mmmmkay?

[j-6]

Thats the million dollar question - isn't it? Which bias is the greatest one?

I guess people can feel like they've satisfied whatever diversity requirement their pointy heads came up with by choosing either the old conservative with a young female running mate or the liberal black guy with the funny name. That's progressive, right? Either way we get a "first time in American history" moment next January.

What I don't get is just how blatant an attempt this is to attract women voters to the GOP tent. It's not like the McCain camp was scared that Alaska's whopping three electoral votes would go blue for the first time since 1964.

[T Park]

LOL omg she believes in god!!!! Run away :lmao

[Buddy Holly]

LOL at FOX news spinning what the Obama camp had to say about Palin.

Obama camp says:


Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.

FOX News puts on their screen and I quote: Obama camp disses Palin on small town origin.

They just don't put that on their, one of their talking heads brings uup that "Obama may have alienated the small town folk with his remarks." :lol

Yep, fair and balanced.

[Buddy Holly]

All the other Veep candidates had fairly big problems in one way or another - pro-choice here, Mormon there, potentially gay the other guy. Palin was the only one bringing potential strengths.

The problem is her complete inexperience may show before long. And then, some of us (me, for example), have to seriously question McCain's judgment on this. He has to admit he has a higher risk than most prez candidates to slipping away from us.

and how exactly does "creation" deter any alternative energy ? healthy economy (3.3% growth last quarter) ?

I guess the "Big Bang" supports those things ?

what progress?

I didn't see Obama's response. He's right: this is crazy.

fair and balanced ? as compared to Keith Olberman spewing his Jizz all over my screen the past three nights.. "grand slam" - " I would love to find fault with that speech but there is none" - " Couldn't have been any better" , etc.. etc..

[101A]

Fuck the pro lifers, that's all I gotta say.

If a man doesn't want the responsibility of raising children, I think he should be able to walk away from that. But at least with an abortion the kid doesn't have to grow up without a dad.

You mean like Obama?

Wonder, today, if that midwestern white girl got knocked up by a foreign black guy....what are the odds that offspring would grow up to be president, rather than simply flushed down a sink?

Irony.

[Buddy Holly]

Palin was the only one bringing potential strengths.

What strengths?

She governs a state with about or just less the population of McAllen, Texas.

The fact that the spin is about how much Executive experience she has, and that word Executive will be thrown out more than a hooker in a cheap motel up and until the election, just shows that the McCain camp is full of shit when they try to throw any "experience" crap at Obama.

[Mr. Body]

Buddy -- well, maybe strengths in that she didn't bring obvious problems, like all the others did. Attracting women is a boost, although fundie men might not like it.

She and McCain are going to look weirder and weirder as a pair.

[Supergirl]

LOL omg she believes in god!!!! Run away :lmao

Whether or not she believes in G-d is not important, and this is actually at the very root of what is threatening this country. There is a very scary movement in this country to strip away our democratic principles and replace them with theocratic ones. Palin and Bush are examples of this.

I believe in G-d. I am actively religious. I just don't think this should have any bearing on the policies of this country, nor do I want someone else's believes dictating policies.

You and your republican cohorts lament Obama for his experience yet you find nothing wrong with the VP McCain chooses. You accept, choose the parts you like, gloat over said parts and then plug your fingers in your ears and repeatedly say "I can't hear you."

She's a pro life feminist. She believes the scummiest of the scum should die. Right on.

Feminist has a negative connotation to me. But maybe I am misunderstanding the definition in this case.

I don't like it when females pit themselves against men.
Some men are good/ intelligent/ kind and some are bad/ stupid/ hateful.
But, the exact same thing is true about women.


Men are not the enemy simply because they are male.
I have seen a several women, whom called themselves feminist, act that way and I think it's ridiculous.

As I stated at the beginning of this post, I am very interested to know what this canidate means when she calls herself a feminist.

You are assuming the baby is female -- it might be a he. I mean who decides for that person in the womb ?

[Spurminator]

Democrats would be wise to steer clear of comments that could be in any way construed as insulting to women, Christians, and rural towns. If this thread is any indication of how the Democrats are addressing the Palin pick you guys are going to alienate a lot of voters.

Looks like Fox News already nailed them on one of their gaffes.

Hey, science is fine, that's the point. Congratulations on your fucking wife, hooray you!

Creationism is not quite the same thing. If your wife is some IDer, then, well, that's too bad, so long as she doesn't vote to keep people that need them to find cures for new diseases. Or try to ban their use. Which is, uhm, now a fundamental plank in the Republican platform.

I would spin her completely differently. I'd make her sound like a modern-day American hero: Jock turned Miss Alaska runner-up raised by a couple of school teachers, five kids - one with Down's syndrome, that governed our largest state and ''last frontier'' with an 80% approval rating, married to her blue-collar high school sweetheart, avid outdoorswoman and fitness nut, with a burning desire to govern ethically and fight corruption in government.

You guys just don't understand the psychology of breaking social barriers...there are certain stigmas that are behind these barriers, a lack of trust if you will, and noone that seems to live up to the stigma is going to be the one to break them.

IOW. it's going to be someone who plays against type....not someone who is reminiscent of the stereotype.


IOW...and I've said this on this forum for years now, the first female or minority to get elected President...will be a Republican. Because they'll be pulling from 2 sides...not 1 and they'll have to pull from both sides to break that barrier.

That's how it works.

They could blow it by biting on certain aspects of the Palin nomination.

Once again, I apologize, as someone who lives in a small town, for being offended.

I will again, defer to you libs for what to be offended by again.

[Mr. Peabody]

This is so hilarious.

They are going to attack her on experience and she has more than Obamassiah. AND she has accomplished more than him.



I'm sure she did. I hear the city of Wasilla now has two Dairy Queens, thus doubling the economic output of the tri-city area.

[I Love Me Some Me]

No. But I do have a problem with people telling woman they don't have a right to decide.

The right to decide what? To decide to kill an innocent human being, simply because it's in the way?

[T Park]

I like Palin better than anybody else in this campaign after reading up on her.

A PG named barracuda...what's not to like?

Hell yeah, I like her better than freakin McCain.

[Buddy Holly]

:lol

Whatever, your talking about small towns then you go to the abortion card?

Stick to one side there Nynsync

I can't have multiple thoughts and conversations on a forum? Seriously, I know it's difficult for you having one hand on the key board and the other firmly in a bucket of KFC holding on to a leg like it's the last piece, but for the rest of us, we can have more than one discussion with more than one topic taking place.

[Gino]

No one is posting about the Obama's speech.....smart move to announce this on a Friday when people don't want to work anyway.

Good Water Cooler talk.

Ah way to play the fat card. You guys are gonna be pissed when you see me in November.

Your gonna have to use other things to insult me on :)

[JoeChalupa]

If McCain wins and suffers illness do you want Gov. Palin answering the phone at 3am?

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

Ah way to play the fat card. You guys are gonna be pissed when you see me in November.

Didn't you have to get your stomach stapled to lose weight???

[T Park]

I'm sure she did. I hear the city of Wasilla now has two Dairy Queens, thus doubling the economic output of the tri-city area.

Once again, obviously she should've run a GIGANTIC state because a smaller state or should I say smaller inhabited state DOESN'T COUNT!!! :lol

[T Park]

Didn't you have to get your stomach stapled to lose weight???

Nope.

[Buddy Holly]

and Obama has 0 experience running anything.

AS DOES MCCAIN.

Holy shit.

[j-6]

And continuing to rely on fossil fuels is fucking pathetic.

Drilling in Anwar won't solve a damn thing and help to ruin a beautiful state.

Instead of continuing our stupid as obsession with fossil fuels, let's you know, develop some alternative options.

Yes. Can I has her numberz??

You shrunk from a size 56 to a 48.

Good to for you.

How does that change the fact that you seem to be amazed/perplexed with multiple discussions?

[T Park]

You shrunk for a size 56 to a 48.

Good to for you.


Wrong again. Keep pulling BS out of your ass.

[Anti.Hero]

Perfect fucking pick to show the lunacy of Obama and this whole election.

This made my day.


I'm going to enjoy this until they eventually find dirt on her.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

Nope.

What surgery did you have?

[implacable44]

You're completely missing the point :lol

Are you really that dense?

You are crying hypocrisy - yet trying to validate her inexperience as an issue -- You don't have a point to make on this -- are you that shallow ?

[T Park]

You have every right to be insulted by whatever the hell you want to be insulted by. You also have the right to put words into people's mouths which you're very good at.

Hey your the one claiming that were "reaching" for something to be insulted by.

No need to get huffy :)

[pkbpkb81]

If McCain wins and suffers illness do you want Gov. Palin answering the phone at 3am?

YES I DO

[T Park]

If McCain wins and suffers illness do you want Gov. Palin answering the phone at 3am?

Sure thing. I never thought of the 3Am thing until Hillary brought it up though.

[Buddy Holly]

Wrong again. Keep pulling BS out of your ass.

The same way you do time in and time out? Is that why you were so fat, all that BS? Is that how you "allegedly" lost the weight?

[Mr. Peabody]

Once again, obviously she should've run a GIGANTIC state because a smaller state or should I say smaller inhabited state DOESN'T COUNT!!! :lol

It's not that it doesn't count, but obviously it's not the same. Look, I have my own business. I have two employees that work for me. My profits have steadily increased as I've operated my business. That doesn't make me qualified to run AT&T.

[T Park]

#1 thing with women from Hillary supporters from a poll given was economy.

Shes a fiscal economist whos brought ethics change up to Alaska. Sounds like McCain in that retrospect.

[I. Hustle]

She'd be hotter if she was in a bathtub full of cheese puffs and then offered me one

[T Park]

The same way you do time in and time out? Is that why you were so fat, all that BS? Is that how you "allegedly" lost the weight?


I know why I was, and I changed things.

Have you alledgedly moved out of the basement yet?

Or are you done taking potshots at me?

Unless you're republican and FOX News is covering you. Then you're more than qualified and they'd use a keyword[S] for your experience.

Probably "business savvy." Yeah, that's the ticket. You'd have more than enough business savvy to run whatever company you wanted.

Yeah horrible Fox News. But CNN and MSNBC are soooo balanced.

[JoeChalupa]

So her total lack of foreign experience does not bother you at all?

[Buddy Holly]

I know why I was, and I changed things.

Well, allegedly, you can dish it but you drop hard to your knees in tears when it's dished back.

Kinda like a republican.

Does it bother you with Obama?

How hard is it to bring change to "Alaska"? Seriously.

Fair enough, but released yesterday, wasn't it? It's also not officially the platform; just proposed.

As of now, I stand by my statments.

You STILL don't seem to understand that Stem Cells are available from a multitude of sources - and that embryonic ones have shown the LEAST promise; why do you think the Dems aren't making Hay about it this year?

[Buddy Holly]

Does it bother you with Obama?

Well, so far some of the stuff he's said in terms of foreign policy trump McCain.

But at least he was smart enough to pick a VP who does have incredible experience with all that.

McCain was smart enough to pick a one term Governor from Alaska.

[T Park]

Wow.....

[Mr. Peabody]

This is bullshit. You shouldn't respond to these people calling you out on this issue. It's idiotic and unnecessary to call people out like that. If you did something for your health, you shouldn't be called out on it. Fuck that.

Whos part of that old washington politics...

[Buddy Holly]

:lol

Wow.....

So you can't answer. Good to know.

If Diane Cibrian went to Alaska and became Governor and changed things, would she be VP material?

Well, no not to you. Not until the moment she is named VP, then she's fucking qualified and then some.

[JoeChalupa]

The road just got a little bumpier and curvier for Obama.

For all of us; but that's a good thing.

[Buddy Holly]

LOL

Like McCain isn't more so?

You discredit Biden for that but your OWN fucking Presidential nominee is basically the epitome of said "old Washington politics."

You discredit Obama because of inexperience and age yet your presidential nom. goes out and picks a VP that's younger and even less experienced.

Does the double standard and hypocrisy come natural for Repubs or is it something you learn and achieve as your soul slowly disappears?

[whottt]

Am I the only one that gets the irony of Buddy Holly being a big Biden Fan?

I shouldn't but its been going on for a few weeks now, they like to go to the fat card, when now, its really not that true anymore, hell I'm doing it for their benefit, I want them to insult me using new material :)

[Mr. Peabody]

:lol

Ok whatever.... Spin that however you want.

Am I the one spinning it? You are making that argument that any executive experience somehow makes you qualified to be president. That sounds like spin. If Obama had picked someone with Palin's experience (or lack thereof) as his running mate, you'd be having a field day with it.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

You are crying hypocrisy - yet trying to validate her inexperience as an issue -- You don't have a point to make on this -- are you that shallow ?

I wasn't trying to attack her experience dumbass, I was laughing at the fact that for 2 months now the GOP has tried to tear down Obama's foreign policy experience and policies and then have their candidate pick a VP that not one person on this board can say what her stance on North Korea, Iran, Iraq, or Afghanistan is without going to google. Romney was the right choice for McCain even if he does look like someone that would play an evil space alien in a mans body if he were to be cast in a movie.

All I am saying is, if he wanted someone that had experience as a governor, wanted to drill in ANWR, and was fiscally responsible... why not Romney? Isn't he more experienced and qualified than Palin? I'm only bringing the experience factor up because that's what the GOP has been shoving down everyones throats for the last few months. Just curious as to why they kind of went the other way.

Did McCain just completely diss Romney? I mean he even said himself Hillary was completely screwed since she got the 2nd most votes to Obama, didn't Romney earn the 2nd most votes in Republican primaries?

Someone please prove to me this was more than a ploy

[101A]

Brooks and Dunn are Republicans, right?

They got that song "Just Put a Girl in It" that's on the charts right now.

Gonna be a new verse soon, I bet.
