Excellent choice - Palin is awesome! She'll get my vote! She is a strong women and a mother!!! She is very well liked by the people of Alaska 80% approval rating. She knows business(the largest construction project in the history of the US is about to get under way and you can thank her for it - and it'll mean that we'll be getting a lot more of our natural gas from our own country because of it)) and guess what she was born in IDAHO! I love her all ready. ::huge grin:: She is pro-guns, pro-less government, pro-less taxes, pro-family, pro-American getting its own oil and natural gas resources, and NOT A MARXIST!!!!! We need someone like her in office. Forget McCain, and make her the presidential choice, she is way better than McCain. No...I am not a conservative. But I like where she stands on certain things that matter to me, moreso than the Marxist Obama and Biden. I was going to vote for Bob Barr, but this has me switching votes to McCain and Palin.
Like make the rich more richer. Lets drill in alaska instead of solving the problem. Which is alternitive fuels. This is a desperate move by McCain to get the woman vote because they will vote for her just because she is a woman not for what she will do for the country. Fact that your not a conservative only makes what i say more true. Now unless your gonna tell me you weren't going to vote for Hillary you are just a bandwagon voter.
Me vote for Hillary...I was going to vote for Bob Barr...because I do not like Obama nor do I like McCain. If we're all lucky McCain will only do one term and Palin we'll run for president.
As for making the rich richer...the rich are the ones that create jobs for the rest of us - not the government. Second we need the oil and gas now....and until we come of with viable alternatives is it smart to run our economy into the ground as the dollar plumments and prices go up, due to higher cost in fuels. I'm all for hydrogen based fuels, nuclear power and the like...but right now...today lets use what we have to to keep our economy strong. Solving the problem will take time and time is not something we have a lot of. I'd drill anywhere and everywhere to get our own oil instead of funding governments that are hostile toward the US and are known to have people making money off the oil we buy to support extremist who would try to kill us. That makes sense. NO!
You sound like one of these peopel that feels the government has the answes to everything...wake up call...they can't even manage a cafetiria and you want them to have more control. I don't think so.

McCain choose to only serve one term? The only way he will bow out and Palin take his place is to leave by gurney. As for making the rich richer...the rich are the ones that create jobs for the rest of us - not the government. While the economic divide grew larger each year under Bush, 3 million factory jobs have been lost since 2000. The facts simply don't support your argument. Second we need the oil and gas now....and until we come of with viable alternatives is it smart to run our economy into the ground as the dollar plumments and prices go up, due to higher cost in fuels. I'm all for hydrogen based fuels, nuclear power and the like...but right now...today lets use what we have to to keep our economy strong. Granted, but we won't see these resources right now. We won't see these resources by the end of the next president's first term. When we do see these resources (provided they are pursued) they will not result in a significant cost reduction. Oil IS NOT the answer. The US contains 3% of the worlds oil reserves and we account for the demand of 25% of the world's supply. This will have to change. Solving the problem will take time and time is not something we have a lot of. I'd drill anywhere and everywhere to get our own oil instead of funding governments that are hostile toward the US and are known to have people making money off the oil we buy to support extremist who would try to kill us. That makes sense. NO! This is the only reason of greater importance than economical implications to get off the oil. We CANNOT supply our demand for oil, even if we drilled every single deposit under US soil AND offshore. If our demand for oil stays the same, we will be funding foreign nations to fulfill it. You sound like one of these peopel that feels the government has the answes to everything...wake up call...they can't even manage a cafetiria and you want them to have more control. I don't think so. Corporations have far too large a stake in our current government. Get rid of the corporate control and government will be far more crdible.
You know the funny thing about these liberals is that their people have been in charge of congress and they ahve done nothing to stop the war. Nothing. In fact Pelosi said that was her top priority....and she couldn't get it done. This has been the worst congress in the history of the US and is it any wonder the US is the shape it is in? They couldn't even manage a stupid cafetria and you want these people to run our government. They suck...the whole lot of them. If we Americans were smart we'd vote all those long term money sucking people in the congress and senate out of office. They are killing our country. They are out for their own power hungry gains and they'd screw you over in a heartbeat and they have - constantly for the last few decades because the same people that were in office then arte in ofice now.
You have people in congress that have bought multiple houses(and you talk about the rich getting richer) and are asking for a pay raise because they can't keep 4 HOUSES! One of the dems from california had the audacity to say that her salary wasn't highy enough because she was loosing 3 of her 4 houses she own in California - NO LESS!
Get real! Don't talk to me about the rih getting richer....who the frak do you think controls this government - do you think Pelosi is poor? Think again.
So take that arguement and flush it- it doesn't work here. We need rich people....even Pelosi( ::cringes::)...they are the ones that create jobs for the average American. We need people in congress and the senate that care about America and the American people...not marxist, not liberals, not conservatives....but Americans who are not out for power or out for monetary gain....just smart, intelligent people who will get things done and do it right. Lawyers need not apply.
Point one. Just because Obama says "Blah blah blah....alternative fuels...blah blah blah" doesn't mean he knows the first damned thing about the subject. Also, as with every other piece of bullshit he spews forth he does not claim how he will do it, only that he will do it. Yeah lets drill for oil lets keep the oil companies 12billion dollar Quartars rolling in. A company making money is a bad thing? Oh no! Well, before you speak of economics you should learn what a profit margin is. The average profit margin for the oil companies was 5-6 percent. This means that out of every dollar they made, they only earned $0.05 - $0.06 on the dollar. And, it is not the oil companies, it is the energy traders that set the price. Over $75 of the cost of a barrel of oil is based upon speculative data such as the hurricanes, the problems in Russia, Iran, etc.
At least the drilling will get us off of a large percentage of foreign dependence. Point two. How is it desperation? He chose who he believed to be the best candidate. If the pick was a black you would say he is trying to appeal to black voters - same if the vp pick was gay, Indian, Native American, Muslim, etc. There is always a nutjob theory from the democrats. No he picks a canidate that is a dang Governor of ALASKA. She governs maybe 100,000 people whoopti doo. He wants the female vote its all over his ad when he slams barrack for not picking her. You make no sense and u only want the country to become a Rich and Poor nation nothing in between. Your point? Do you think the basis of leadership is how many people you lead? In that case, China must possess the most outstanding leadership qualities in the world. Or India maybe? He wants the female vote as well as Obama. It's ridiculous that people are saying that is the only reason. I could only imagine the talk if McCain somehow decided upon Condi - "Oh my! He just wants the women and black votes!"

Fuel Cell Cars are a viable alternative. And you dont have to outsource your oil if you dont need it. And BTW i dont want my government telling me anything. I have a dislike for our Republic. They do what they want and for some reason we let them because we have been taught to think we cant do anything. I could care less whos voted in i just know voting for a war veteran is the wrong thing to do. because then you will take logic out of the equation and replace it with instinct. And when your in the Oval Office you have to think with logic not instincts. Check out www.opensecrets.org . But I'm not going to sit here and go back and forth with you guys on this because we are both bias to our desicions and there fore we will only talk in slander and get ourselves banned or warned and or get the thread locked.

You dont get it there are people who vote for the right reason and then there is a majority that doesnt. The ones who vote because of something. Just as im sure barack will get a few or more black votes because he is just black. But hiliary had a cult of woman who dont like barack cuz he won the nomination and would just not vote or vote for independent party just because they dont like barack and yet him and hilary are in the same party. You think like a smart person you have to dumb yourself down to understand. Not every answer can have a logical reason to it.
Lets drill in alaska instead of solving the problem.
The problem can not be solved by throwing money at new technologies and hope they work out. I'm a fan of Picken's Plan (if you don't know check it out http://www.pickensplan.com/ ) but that can only be part of the solution.
You can't build for the future which could be wind and solar without a strong base to start with or fall back on. We need more nuclear and hydro power plans NOW along with more wind and solar farms.
We also need to get rid of this NIMBY mentality (not in my back yard) or we will be in a world of hurt very soon. Everyone want all this energy cheap but they don't want nuclear plants, hydro plant, wind and solar farms in there back yard.
from may: "The state of Alaska will sue the U.S. government to stop the listing of the polar bear as a threatened species, arguing the designation will slow development in the state, Gov. Sarah Palin said on Wednesday."
O_O
the lady hates polar bears, what else can you say
Most initial critical commentary on Sarah Palin has focused on her unfitness for the presidency. This is an important point, but an equally important point is her unfitness for the vice presidency. Barack Obama picked a running mate who can help him govern. The president's job is far too big for any one person to do on his own, so Obama took the first step toward building a first-rate team. John McCain engaged in a cynical stunt aimed at winning the news cycle. It's an incredibly arrogant decision that calls into question whether he really understands the nature of the job he's running for.
Palin:
Resume
City council member and mayor of a town of 8,500 people.
20 months as governor of a state of 650,000 people.
John McCain is 23 years older than the state of Alaska.
Gov. Palin is embroiled in her own trooper-gate scandal up in Alaska. In short, she's accused of using her pull as governor to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. The brother-in-law is embroiled in an ugly divorce and custody with Palin's sister. And after his boss wouldn't fire the brother-in-law, she fired the boss. Palin originally insisted there was nothing to the story. More recently, she was forced to admit that one of her top deputies had pushed to get the guy fired.
In 2006, before Palin was governor, Wooten was briefly suspended for ten days for threatening to kill McCann's (and Palin's) father, tasering his 11-year-old stepson (at the stepson's request), and violating game laws.
no ones going to blame u for firing a guy who tasered yr nephew - but having that guys boss fired for not playing along is another thing altogether

Fuel cell cars could be a viable alternative, but you can't hope something will work without having a back up plan in the works If you don't you will be Bush Jr. charge in with no back up plan if everything goes to hell.
Bias? I hope your not stating that you are any less bias?
So wait, McCain slams Obama almost daily on his inexperience then picks a running mate with even less time that Obama? Intersting choice and a historical election either way it goes, but the pandering by McCain on this pick is pretty obvious.
Yeah, the whole "inexperienced" arguement certainly seems weak when you consider that if McCain were to unfortunately die in office, his replacement won't have a lot of Wash DC experience under her belt.
Oh well, both parties tove to trash-talk the other, I rarely listen to that kind of rhetoric.
Thrakk you are suck a political troll and you don't even do it well.

McCain's maverick shtick is moving closer to Dubya's arrogant cowboy shtick all the time. There's a certain defiant streak in both - perhaps it comes from the shared experience of at one time being relatively under-achieving sons of powerful fathers.
+ creationist
+ hates polar bears
+global warming denier
+ no-exception pro-lifer
+ hates all bears, by the look of it
Palin is merely a campaign stunt.. it's pathetic that McCain chooses a campaign stunt over politics.
Something I just read: Obama voted for The Bridge to Nowhere. Palin killed it. Who's the "new" brand of politics, again? Who's the "reformer"? The unvetted politician from the Chicago Machine and Credit Card Joe? Or The Maverick Earmark-Slayer and the Bridge to Nowhere Killer? Great contrast.
Wiki something first before you read it on the news and take all the spin.
If you do the research, youd find that its just spin, probably by liberal media. Palin was practically forced to turn it down because congress did not want to spend money on the bridge.
Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer. Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island. Much of the public’s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened.[12]

Tell me one thing Obama has done that qualifies him to be a president?
Tell me one thing McCain has done that qualifies him to be a president?
Obama certainly has the qualifications to be president; he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations (something we certainly need for issues with Iraq, Iran, and Russia), then attended Harvard Law and was president for the Law Review, he was a state legislator, and on the Senate. Certainly he has more qualifications then most people and doesn't promise most of the same crap as McCain does with Bush.
McCain picking this woman is just to get the woman vote without having to pick Clinton who could potentially drag McCain down. I was pretty surprised he didn't pick Clinton just for the fact it could have potentially destroyed the democratic party.

Alaska Fun Facts Part II
by myglesias
John McCain is 23 years older than the state of Alaska.
Gov. Palin is embroiled in her own trooper-gate scandal up in Alaska. In short, she's accused of using her pull as governor to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. The brother-in-law is embroiled in an ugly divorce and custody with Palin's sister. And after his boss wouldn't fire the brother-in-law, she fired the boss. Palin originally insisted there was nothing to the story. More recently, she was forced to admit that one of her top deputies had pushed to get the guy fired.
In 2006, before Palin was governor, Wooten was briefly suspended for ten days for threatening to kill McCann's (and Palin's) father, tasering his 11-year-old stepson (at the stepson's request), and violating game laws.
no ones going to blame u for firing a guy who tasered yr nephew - but having that guys boss fired for not playing along is another thing altogether
Tell me one thing Obama has done that qualifies him to be a president?
Fuel Cell Cars are a viable alternative.
But I'm not going to sit here and go back and forth with you guys on this because we are both bias to our desicions and there fore we will only talk in slander and get ourselves banned or warned and or get the thread locked. Go 08 election this one is going to be a interesting on.
Fuel cell cars could be a viable alternative, but you can't hope something will work without having a back up plan in the works If you don't you will be Bush Jr. charge in with no back up plan if everything goes to hell.
Bias? I hope your not stating that you are any less bias?
I'm not sold on either candidate yet.
Thrakk you are suck a political troll and you don't even do it well.
Yeah, the whole "inexperienced" arguement certainly seems weak when you consider that if McCain were to unfortunately die in office, his replacement won't have a lot of Wash DC experience under her belt.
Oh well, both parties tove to trash-talk the other, I rarely listen to that kind of rhetoric.
hes trying so hard he gave himself away so easily.

Can hardly wait to see Palin debate the "serial plagiarist".
Palin to Biden: "Joe, stop peaking at my notes!"
Something I just read:
Obama voted for The Bridge to Nowhere. Palin killed it.
Who's the "new" brand of politics, again? Who's the "reformer"?
The unvetted politician from the Chicago Machine and Credit Card Joe?
Or The Maverick Earmark-Slayer and the Bridge to Nowhere Killer?
Great contrast.
Thrakk you just lost all credibility. ::rolls her eyes::
Sully points how so totally John McCain this pick is - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/211369.php
the guy doesn't know what he's doing
McCain's maverick shtick is moving closer to Dubya's arrogant cowboy shtick all the time. There's a certain defiant streak in both - perhaps it comes from the shared experience of at one time being relatively under-achieving sons of powerful fathers.
+ creationist
+ hates polar bears
+global warming denier
+ no-exception pro-lifer
+ hates all bears, by the look of it
Palin is merely a campaign stunt.. it's pathetic that McCain chooses a campaign stunt over politics.
Wiki something first before you read it on the news and take all the spin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravina_Island_Bridge
If you do the research, youd find that its just spin, probably by liberal media. Palin was practically forced to turn it down because congress did not want to spend money on the bridge.
Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer. Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island. Much of the public’s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened.[12]
Oh, and who controls congress?
The democrats.
Tell me one thing McCain has done that qualifies him to be a president?
Obama certainly has the qualifications to be president; he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations (something we certainly need for issues with Iraq, Iran, and Russia), then attended Harvard Law and was president for the Law Review, he was a state legislator, and on the Senate. Certainly he has more qualifications then most people and doesn't promise most of the same crap as McCain does with Bush.
McCain picking this woman is just to get the woman vote without having to pick Clinton who could potentially drag McCain down. I was pretty surprised he didn't pick Clinton just for the fact it could have potentially destroyed the democratic party.
over $1 trillion (war cost) / $389 million = 2,570 such expensive bridges we could afford all around USA
stupid idea... but think about how much of that war money could be put to good use if even 1 of these bridges is erected.
