McCain Picks Palin

[101A]

Awesome dead-on assessment of Republicans and Tpark.

I was making breakfast this morning and my girlfriend came into the kitchen and I told her McCain had picked Palin from Alaska, first thing she said was "Does he really think women are going to fall for that?"

I really don't see how this was anything other than McCain trying to pull away pissed off Hillary supporters from the Democrats. Just last week he's bashing Obama on experience and credentials, then picks Palin, so I would like to know how this is anything but a ploy to attract women voters

All VP choices are a "ploy" to fill in some gap the main guy can't fill in himself, aren't they?

[implacable44]

Because if they watch FOX News, they'll be told that's what he did. He insulted all small town people because he mentioned the VP nom was once a Mayor for a small town. I'm sure they were like "Was that an evil insult about us? Or a truthful observation?"

oh -- should we punish them with a baby ? -- what about those who only watch ABC/ MCNBC / CNN / CBS / NBC -- won't those people only be told that particular spin ?

[angel_luv]

that would be because they call her a "Maverick"

Which as a Spurs fan is a serious turn off.

I'm in a small town and its nothing close to the ing truth jackass.

The party of Lincoln my friend

I think you missed the point. The point is that a minority Republican will get Republicans voting for him/her and some Democrats. A minority Democrat will only get Democrats and not get Republicans.

It sounds like an indictment, not a compliment.

[T Park]

Making something about nothing is what politics are all about. I'm not saying small towners should be insulted by it, I'm saying they will be.

There are more T Parks out there than you would like to think.

Ah so I had no right to be insulted by that.


Pardon me. I guess you guys should decide what I should and shouldn't be offended by then

Classic.

[Buddy Holly]

Oh, I see.

Only if I hold certain opinions are certain issues am I O.K.

Got it.

Typical.

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

[Mr. Body]

You're an idiot.

There is no plank in the Republican platform that bans the use of Stem Cells for research.

What you are referring to is a plank in the Republican platform that calls for the Federal government not to FUND the procurement of Stem Cells from fetuses.

In summary:

Using Stem Cells = Fine
Using tax money to pay people to create and destroy Human Fetuses in order to harvest Stem Cells = Not Fine.

You know how to read, don't you? Learn about your own reckless party.

Don't be so offended, come on...

[Anti.Hero]

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.


hahah

Let's just switch pres and vp and have her run against Obamassiah plz. Not only could she really piss off Hilary for stealing her glory, but Obammassiah is left looking at Biden today thinking WTF hahahah

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

WOw -- your girlfriend is bright - She was a governor -- running the state sir with a ridiculous approval rating. She has more experience than that guy who I just realized -- looks nothing like the guy on my $5 bill.

How big is that state again? As someone mentioned it is the state ranked #45 in GDP and is one of the smallest states we have. You obviously missed the point of the post. gOp attacks Obama on experience, then picks a woman with 2 years of experience in the vast economy of Alaska

[Mr. Body]

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

They believe women should be chattel.

[T Park]

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

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

Stick to one side there Nynsync

[T Park]

Ahhh the party of "open mindedness"

[Buddy Holly]

Shes a fiscal conservative who has a fantastic story, and is a real strong proponent of the energy policy of drilling in Anwar.

And continuing to rely on fossil fuels is ing 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.

P.S.

Of course she's beggin' them to drill. How much money will that tiny state of hers receive because of it. Yeah, thought so.

[pkbpkb81]

ITS A GREAT PICK AND WE WILL HAVE HISTORY MADE NO MATTER WHO WIN'S

THAT BEING SAID I WILL BE VOTEING McCAIN, I WOULD RATHER A VP WITH NO EXPERIENCE THAN THE PRESIDENT WITH NONE

Shes running for president?

Uh ok. Once again, so you have to have experience running a HUGE town to be qualified?

That's how it works. Democrats have been doing a good job of hiding their metropolitan/intellectual snobbery during the Obama campaign so that Republicans and their pundits have really had to stretch to find something to be offended about. They could blow it by biting on certain aspects of the Palin nomination.

Good point...although he actually has more governing experience than all three men combined.

Like what homey?

Are we going on Pelosi thinking and not categorizing Natural Gas as a Fossil Fuel???

It's gone from not relying on foreign oil, to not relying on foreign oil IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Funny how the libs change their once they get closer to having to deliver. Libs are so

McCain is all for that.
Hes for wind and solar technology and all that, but that is down the road, and you can help NOW, by drilling in the middle of nowhere sville.

there isn't a tree within 300 miles of the damn hole.

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

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

and Obama has 0 experience running anything.

You're completely missing the point

Are you really that dense?

[whottt]

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

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