    GOP vice-presidential nominee is as experienced as the Democratic presidential nominee but also has executive decision-making that Obama lacks.

     

    LoL

    Alright.  Now, all of a sudden, I find myself interested in this year's presidential election.  What an interesting mix of candidates we have now.  It will be interesting to see Biden chooses to attack her in the VP debates.



     

    Damn McCain must of felt like he was gonna lose to pull a stunt like this one. Oh well guess those woman voters will take 2nd place instead of no place.

    I sense republican desperation. Just think if something happens to McCain(through natural causes) we might have our first woman president!!

    Since you seem to have had a news blackout for the past year or so....

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

    If there is no connection then there should be no problem looking at the records..      http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-obama-wgn,0,3744149.story

    Just do a search with Obama and Ayers in the search box on Yahoo or Google. There are both sides of the story out there and you can decide.

    Listenening to the WGN broadcast is entertaining.

    Caller #1...this slander needs to stop!

    Host...What facts have been misrepresented?

    Caller #1...erm..huh....ahh...I just want it to stop.

    Next caller ...repeat caller #1

    WOW. This is one of the smartest moves in politics since...well a long time. McCain had his hands full with Barack, he cant really counter his celebrity charm, but with this Sarah Palin, he has a good chance of going for the gold.

    With a woman running mate, attracrive no less, he can counter Barack's minority status (blacks) and his charming presonality, and pick up women voters. Excellent chess move by McCain, this may just be the winning game move for him.

    Attractive?.... Umm... No...

     

    Really not.

     

    You have interesting taste...

  • TealaTeala Member RarePosts: 7,627

    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.

    Why would he need to do that? He is POW, that should cover the experience part. Right?

    Ever been to ALaska?  Alaska is one of America's crown jewels.   It is beautiful up there.   There is plenty in Alaska and it isn't all about oil.  You have the fishing industry, the logging industry, the hunting and fishing industry, strawberries from heaven are grown there, mining, and so much more.   Alaska is an awesome state.

    Yea she is beautiful and I only hope I look that good at  her age and she has had 5 kids!

    I think the choice is great since she represents an image of John McCain that people have tried to bury this election year, a maverick.  She questions here own party and that is something I think is needed in this president instead of someone who agrees with his party 98% of the time.

    One thing about the experience debate is that she isn't running to be president, but instead vice president.  She is following in the footsteps and working closely with a man who has alot of experience.  Also another great thing is that she is representing Alaska, a state poised to grow tremendously in the next decade, and talks are going into place to use it as a shipping hub from North East Asia into the United States and Canada.

    Palin is going to be open to lots of criticism because Alaska is hurting more than it's ever been.  There was talk about giving out 1,000 bucks to families to help them be able to pay for HEAT this year...

    Oh sure there's reasons for Alaska's problems that are kinda-sorta beyond Palin's control.  But with the right spin... the fact that a loaf of bread costs 10 bucks in some Alaskan towns can be great ammunition.

    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.



     

    McCain has more than enough experience for the both of them, plus there's the fact that the Vice President has few real responsibilities and is pretty unimportant.

    If Biden switches places with Obama, both campaigns would be in the same place, wouldn't they?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Edit: I just read this article. I thought it was rather hilarious. It is Obama citing Palin's "zero" foreign policy experience. Excuse Mr. Obama, look who's talking. You have absolutely "zero" for yourself. You served as a subpar senator and have zero experience in leadership. While her population may be "small", she still outmatches you in experience. She is miles above you ~ you idiot.

    A Vote for Osama bin Biden is a vote for the destruction of the United States.

    Ever been to Iraq? This conservative country needs to be stoped. For the sake of this country it needs to be stopped. Letting McCain in office is going to put this country then the world into a world of hurt because McCain is Bush 90% of the time. He wants to get into a skirmish with the Russians He wants the war in Iraq to continue. Im not saying he will but McCain i wouldnt doubt that he starts a major military conflict if he is elected. And will lay the ground work for the destruction of America.

    It seems a lot of people want to debate her attractiveness, so let's finally put that argument to rest. She was the winner of the Miss Wasilla pageant in Wasilla, Alaska (population 8500).

    BOOYOW! How many of you overly-critical blow-hards can say you won a pageant with a population of even 7500? Not even one of you? I didn't think so.

     

    We know very little about this woman, besides the fact that she's currently under investigation by the state of Alaska (honestly, what republican politician isn't, right?), and that she was quite fertile. Oh yea, and her favorite meal is moose soup.

    Truth really is stranger than fiction. Does anyone else feel a little 'twilight zone'ish about this selection?

    Yeah lets drill for oil lets keep the oil companies 12billion dollar Quartars rolling in.

    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.
