Sarah Palin picked as McCain's VP running mate

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Paki,

I'm in for a Change... Go Obama Go!

You won't have any change in your pockets left if Obama wins.

[mrsmaalox]

So basically, neither you nor 2blonde have checked her record yet.

Get back to me when ya'll do.

I won't speak for 2Blonde, but you are correct I have not checked her record. When I do, and only then, I will decide if I will vote for her party or not---but never just because she is a woman!

The more this woman talks the more people will like her...she is more likeable than anyone else in this campaign.

Well if there's anything this campaign is lacking it's warmth and personality, so I also hope she turns out to be a positive force! I want what's best for all Americans, not just women.

[PakiDan]

Paki, you know I love you, but... don't push it.
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08'!!!

Ok... Go Obama!!

[whottt]

Once ya'll check her record you'll see that even if this was pandering...it was a great choice. She's impressive as whether you agree with her political views or not.

Well, I know that she's said that she'd make abortion illegal for any reason including rape or incest. She's also stated she hasn't thought too much about the Iraq war. And the fact that they had never met before make it even more clear that this was nothing more than a political move because he knew he needed help.

So would Biden...your point?

She's also stated she hasn't thought too much about the Iraq war.

It wasn't her job to think about the Iraq War...it was her job to think about Alaska. And she's obviously done that.

Well Joe...you wasted no time bringing up the blogonegatives...what about the other stuff?


If you are just going to post propaganda, save it...Nbadan and boutons do it better than you and they'll be beginning shortly.

[Biernutz]

How can you not like a woman who rides a bike, wants to drill for more oil and loves moose steaks.

They got my vote!!!!

[T Park]

Not only likes the moose steaks, but has the juevos to shoot her own Moose

[JoeChalupa]

So would Biden...your point?

That I'm pro choice.

It wasn't her job to think about the Iraq War...it was her job to think about Alaska. And she's obviously done that.

But it damn well is important for potential VP to know about.

So when you post facts it isn't just propaganda? Come on whottt, you can do better than that. Just 'cause you say you like and are impressed with her doesn't mean I have to be. And I am impressed with her career. If that were the case elections wouldn't be necessary.

Okay, now I'm done.

[whottt]

That I'm pro choice.

She won't take away your choice to have an abortion Joe. She can't.

But it damn well is important for potential VP to know about.

Obama also admitted he wasn't really aware of what the situation is in Iraq, he said it as he changed his stance...I didn't hold that against him I lauded him for it. Would you rather her lie and say she is informed about it?

Besides...Iraq is over.


If Iraq is so important to you, I'll just point out that McCains kids are over there...and one of Palin's is about to be.

All you did was post negatives...here you are citing how positive Obama is and you go right to the negatives on the opposition and don't mention anything else.


Every candidate has positives and negatives, and ignoring all the positives and focusing on the negatives isn't really a subs ute for objective analysis. Especially when you claim to be voting for one guy because he's positive.


what was really funny was there was a talking head on TV listing the exact same negatives about her as you, right before you posted.

[Mr. Peabody]

I screwed up.

In another thread I mistakenly posted this photo


That's actually Sabine Ehrenfeld, the chick from Overstock.com and not Sarah Palin.

Here is Governor Palin



Not quite the same. Sorry for any confusion.

[Heath Ledger]

mccain is ing doomed.

[JoeChalupa]

She won't take away your choice to have an abortion Joe. She can't.

But she can take away a woman's right to choose.

Oh, so you bought the whole "Mission Accomplished" story? So then why not bring to troops home if it is is over?

Just because I'm positive about Obama doesn't mean I have to be postive about Palin. That argument doesn't even make any sense. And it isn't hard to spot the negatives as they are clear to see. Unless of course you are so smitten as to over look those negatives.

More leadership experience than the other two. State Governors make more decisions in a week than a senator does in a lifetime

Leadership...?

She can't even lead her own state party...

State Senate President Lyda Green said she thought it was a joke when someone called her at 6 a.m. to tell her the news.

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? said Green, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"

Green, who has feuded with Palin, brought up the big oil tax increase Palin pushed through last year. She also pointed to the award of a $500 million state subsidy to a Canadian firm to pursue a natural gas pipeline that's far from guaranteed.

House Speaker John Harris, a Republican from Valdez, was also astonished at the news. He didn't want to get into the issue of her qualifications.

"She's old enough," Harris said. "She's a U.S. citizen."

[whottt]

But she can take away a woman's right to choose.

No she can't....overturning Roe V Wade won't take away a woman's right to choose. But you will never see it done anyway.

Oh, so you bought the whole "Mission Accomplished" story?

The mission to get rid of Saddam? That was over a few weeks after it began...I don't know why anyone thought installing a Democracy would be something done instantly.

So then why not bring to troops home if it is is over?

Because Iran and Saudi are both stronger than Iraq right now, and neither of them wants Democracy in Iraq...or for sympathizers to Iran or Saudi to be in power.

Just because I'm positive about Obama doesn't mean I have to be postive about Palin.

So it's not really about being postive for you...it's just about the Democratic byline dujour.

That argument doesn't even make any sense.

Sure it does...

And it isn't hard to spot the negatives as they are clear to see.

It's never hard to spot negatives Joe...it never is.

Bedies...you don't know that her not knowing much about Iraq is a negative...who knows, she might agree with you 100%.

Unless of course you are so smitten as to over look those negatives.

Ironically enough...I haven't decided who I will be voting for yet. Unlike some, I don't make that decision just because a political party puts them up there for nomination.

Have you been vetted?

[1Parker1]

If Hillary hadn't run for President or had such loyal voters, you think McCain would have chosen this lady to be his VP?

Props to Hillary though for starting a trend.

That would be because shes busted em all in Alaska for freaking ethics issues.

shes got an 80% approval rating, instead of blowing the surplus she had, she set up a savings account.

Yeah not giving it to pork barrel projects, just mindblowing, SAVING money.

[T Park]

No she can't....overturning Roe V Wade won't take away a woman's right to choose. But you will never see it done anyway.

Is Joe Chalupa gonna bust out the

"If Palin gets into office rape will become legal" Like Ms Mary said?
