I am a registered Independent and after seeing the constant barrage of goofball anti McCain/Palin threads on this site, I have decided with certainty to vote for McCain/Palin.
Comments
Amen lol yeah i am voting the same way. I think palin is going to be one of the best vp we ever had.
^ American sheeple? Basing your decision on threads from this site was probably your first mistake. Anyways...RON PAUL 2012!!!
<---- Registared independant.
Having fully decided yet. Going to wait to see who stands out in the debates. I wish there was a viable 3rd option but I guess this is the best we are going to get.
o yeah beware prob going have people flame you saying obama is better and all that good stuff
All the canidates are scary
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
Palin has absolutely nothing profound to say. She regurgitates the same scripted drivel as McSame does, and people are finally starting to realize that. Her premise for her candidacy was built on lies and exaggerations. The Bridge to Nowhere she snuffed out? She was first for it, then axed it, but kept the 200M in earmark spending. Her abortion stance? Imprison women who get them, even if they were raped. Family Values? Adhere to strict conservative values, just nevermind what my family is doing.
After the debates are done, and Palin is exposed, this will go down as one of the foolish picks for VP ever. The saddest part is that are uneducated and lemming-like society has glommed on to Palin due to her good looks, and thats it. Even sadder, McSame's camp has been doing everything in their power to prevent her from interviewing to avoid the inevitable. Biden is going to ear her alive at the debates. It will be borderline comical.
And yes, I am an independent...
She frightens me a bit. The way she wants to enforce her own morals and values onto other people is just downright scary, and I think it's shocking that people are willing to give a person like that so much power.
for me isnt wasnt as much a YES to Palin as it was a NO to Biden.
The actual candidates dont really do much for me , either one , and wont for anyone else no matter who wins , but hey thats another topic.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Wonderful logic there.
You know what... no one seems to like that Hitler guy........
I LOVE HITLER!!!!!!
Please provide some evidence of that.

I doubt her handlers are stupid enough to let her put on video or written record her more fanatical religious views. But the facts out there are that she opposes gay marriage, wants to see Roe vs Wade overturned, and it is widely known and reported that she would go so far as to make abortions illegal even in the event of Rape, Incest, or if the mother's life was in danger. Her religious beliefs don't allow for it, and so she plans to make these beliefs your law. If the abortion or gay marriage issues don't phase you at all, what about your video games and TV Shows? I know I feel lucky to live in the U.S. everytime I read about a new Video Game being banned in certain countries or censored in certain countries. Do you think someone with extremely strong religious views, someone who grew up in a church where they speak in tongues, won't be strongly against such things? Bush carried the Evangelical vote because he sold himself as a strong believer. We know now he was just fishing for votes, and that when it comes down to it, he would be as uncomfortable in a room full of people speaking tongues as most of us would be. Palin is no Bush. She doesn't just believe as strongly in this stuff as a person possibly could, but she acts like she is eager as hell to impress her fellow Evangelicals in every way she can. McCain might as well have chosen a member of the Prohibition Party to run with him, except I think Palin intends to do more damage.
The average American likes to hear "Shit" on The Shield, see bare-breasted whores on Deadwood, and watch Tony Soprano spray some guy's brains across a wall on The Sopranos. I also like this kind of stuff in my Video Games. I dig me some Rock Band and Ugly Betty too, but I want to have the variety. I'm not saying Palin as Vice President or even President would mean the end to this stuff, but I am saying that she would want to put an end to it. She never requested the Librarian in Wasilla to ban any books, but after asking about a possible banning policy, she apparently thought the reply warranted the dismissal of this librarian. The Librarian kept her job through the protests of the people, but you have to wonder if the conversation between Palin and the Librarian included any words like Harry or Potter.
palin will be a great vp and after 8 years she will be one of the best leaders we will ever have.
Actually as an independent, I am really torn, since I hate both candidates:
I agree with McCain's economic policies to an extent ... that is I don't mind them as much as Obama's insipid increase to capital gains and other taxes to further fuel an incompetent government and make it harder on the already struggling financial sector.
However, I am for a very secular state and prochoice, so Palin's religious fervor leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
I think Ron Paul should have just run libertarian, although it was kind of nifty to see an independent get so many votes; the current libertarian candidate is really not to my liking.
This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.
Has she ever enforced her religious views while she was the governor of Alaska?
Let's be honest here, she hasn't been using her office to impose her morals on the public. I agree, her socially conservative stances are incredibly frightening to me and I don't want to give her the slightest chance at even a remote opportunity to select judges. In all fairness though, she has not yet been soliciting (or giving special attention to) social legislation.
There are plenty of things to attack Palin on without getting creative in the process.
Likewise with other conservatives. You know, there is a difference between a "stance" and an "agenda". Just because someone believes in a specific social position, it doesn't always mean that they want to impose that position on others through legislation. Liberals need to start practicing more of the acceptance that they like to lay claim to. I know many conservatives (I was born and raised in Georgia afterall) as well as liberals, and all hold a variable hodge-podge of positions on social issues. I know very few people who have an agenda though.

Good point,and South Carolina is the same.except your roads sux....haha
Trade in material assumptions for spiritual facts and make permanent progress.

Nope, that's a Chimera created by her enemies who fear her. Obama, however, has been trying to impose his religious views on everyone his entire career.

Honestly, why the hypocristy involving abortion.
You want to imprison people for murder, but only if before it dies it's cries for help can be shouted out?
The true justice is the ability to defend those who can't defend themselves.
"The greatest trick the devil played on humanity in the 20th century was convincing them that he didn't exist." (Paraphrasing) C.S. Lewis
"If a mother can kill her own child, what is left before I kill you and you kill me?" -Mother Teresa when talking about abortion after accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979
If you want to know the real truth, Palin would make a better president then Obama.
How many days has Obama in the Senate? Oh....but he can run a great campaign, that qualifies him to run a country and be President, doesnt it?
What a sham
The me who hears what the other me can't, is the dominant one.
I'd rather give Obama a chance to show us what he can do than have to deal with a self-righteous SUV-driving soccer-mom in power.
Just wait until the games we all play are banned, the music we listen to is censored, and all television is reduced to Lifetime.
Remember what Bush did to Iraq? that's what she's gonna do to YOUR HOME and your way of life.
Please provide some evidence of that.
The left have no evidence. It is just a talking point. The facts have actually been the opposite the past 40 or so years.
