Obama on the Palin Pick: Lukewarm Compliments & Criticisms

Obama wouldn’t last a minute in Alaska.

Sarah WHO??? Howard Gallas, Reno, NV.

Obama said.”I feel confident about my choice,”
Yeah, you said that about Rev. Wright..

I don’t think McCain could have made a better choice. She is all that! Finally, a woman with integrity!

Cindy
I take war hero Rev. Wright over racist John Hagee. Rev Wright got in trouble for over critiquing the U.S using 70s era paranoia. Hagee got in trouble for being anti-Catholic, anti-Islamic, anti-Jew, anti-Homosexual, and anti-black. All of which was caught on tape. I guess McCain has the judgment to be proud of Hagee who I think is the closest thing to a terrorist leader in the U.S. I saddens me that any Christian would follow a man who preaches hate like Hagee.

I can just see Obama and his entourage getting within 100 feet of a bear or moose. They would have to rush back to their hotel to change clothes. Moose and bear are occasionally seen in down- town or near downtown Anchorage. They are usually more afraid of you but one never really know what they may do if they have their young with them. Moose would come around and eat my left-over veggies and flowers after the ground was covered with snow.
Frankly, I think that Obama is worried with a VP candidate with more experience in government and administration then he has. I did community organizer work as a high school student. No big deal, it was so easy.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 MY CHOICE

Let’s face it, with about 65 days left till election day, it’s kind of stupid and desparate for McSame to pick someone who is unknown because now he has to spend time to introduce her on the national stage. He just gave a big gift to the Obama camp. She’s not even worth attacking, the media and the pundits are doing their thing and raising doubt about her readiness to step into the president’s role and some are already saying McCain showed poor judgement in choosing her, given his age and health concerns. He had more credible candidates to choose from but chose her thinking she will pull in some women voters. That’s not putting country first, he’s just trying to win this election. Sarah is not qualified to step in as president should something happen to Mccain, period.

Okay Joe
I’ll bite. Let’s compare. 1st research the political environment of Alaska and Illinois and you’ll find Illinois is much tougher. Then look at what she has actually done and qualifications; Palin has none on foreign policy. Obama didn’t just pop out of nowhere was just as well known in rural Illinois as Urban Illinois while in his term as Illinois State Senate. Example comparison Palin PTA, Obama led Project Vote! to register 600,000 new voters. Palin majored a town that rivals towns in mainlain U.S. Obama was doing State Lawmaking which is someways more direct then U.S. legislature when it comes to Domestic Policies and such. Palin gov of Alaska is an executive position but 1.5 years over a population fewer then some small counties. Obama passes benchmark legislation early in his first term a feat few new Senators. Senators work more closely with Foreign Policy and actually boost his Foreign policy credentials. Let’s not to mention a champaign historic not because Obama is African-America, but because of it’s organization, and fund raising abillity.

Let’s be clear. Mayors have more administrative qualities then Palin.
Lets list a few:
Michael B. Coleman
Carleton S. Finkbeiner
Richard Michael Daley
Antonio Villaraigosa
Michael Bloomberg
John Marks
John Peyton
Manny Diaz

I guess there are a lot of people who worry about their lives. Why should we put the decision on the hands of a senile , arrogant , old man who doesn’t care diddley squat what the rest of us think. He made his choice, now in November we get a chance to make ours. She is so far to the right that she is almost falling off the edge.

Ed
I have to love you because your text is golden in it’s hypocrisy. It doesn’t matter who McCain chooses to surround himself with but it does with Obama. Well Rev Wright is stuck in the 1970s like most older black people, Ayer lives in the same neighborhood as Obama and the Rezco story was proven false because he bought the house above market value.
But if a convicted pedophile moves two doors down from you, I’ll know you that you like hanging around convicted felons.

Ron
We get the point. Stop spamming.

Ed must be getting paid to smear Obama on the blogs.
Palin did drugs as well Ed. Did her drug use leave her unbalanced?

I WILL BE SO GLAD WHEN THIS ELECTION IS OVER. MY IT IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. ALL “I ” JUST SAYING HOW I FEEL , HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY, BUT BOY DO I KNOW A LOT OF DIRT ON THE TWO MEN RUNNING FOR OFFICE, AND I DO NOT THINK MUCH OF EITHER ONE AT THIS POINT. WHAT A TERRIBLE CAMPAIGN IT HAS BEEN. I STOPPED WATCHING MOST NEWS CHANNELS AND DO NOT READ ANY OF IT FROM OUR TOWN PAPER EITHER. BLESS US ALL.
SNEAKYPETE.

It is truly funny. Obama people blog for fun, McCain has to pay people to blog for him.

Yes, she will! McCain/Palin08

obama/biden08 – D.O.A.
All you socialists can go to sleep for another 8 years, including Ron who knows nothing more than a whole in the ground from his brown *!

Obviously Obama, who’s offended so many of Hillary’s female supporters, can’t go after Palin head-on: he’ll let his surrogates bad-mouth her. Politics as usual.

Maybe McCain was smitten by her! He only met her one time. Maybe she rubbed his head or something, and he is excited about this new woman in his life. Lots of older men meet women and become smitten in this way and it impacts lots of their decisions.

Obama, made a major political mistake on not getting Hillary and bringing the whole party together, period!
McCain helped his campaign by picking another maverick and female who can stand up to anyone. Palin has as much experience as Obama on top of his ticket. Palin is a new inspiring pick the republicans need. She has 80 percent approval in Alaska and is the most popular Governor in America. She taxed oil companies and gave it all back to Alaska’s taxpayers at $1,200 each.
Obama is a smart inspiring speaker, but Palin’s actions speak louder than political words. She has fought corruption in both parties in Alaska. When she speaks she says it like it is, unlike polished career politicians. Some people can talk the talk, but Palin can walk the walk. Anyone with doubts about Palin should watch her interview with Maria Bartiromo on CNBC.
People are talking negatively about Palin without knowing all the facts about what she has achieved, including the media because they are in love with Obama. The media is saying McCain picked Palin because of Hillary not being picked and I love Hillary, but Sarah is the real deal for republicans and she gives them a new face that they need to reform their party. The Republican Party has always been for the rich and special interests, Sarah represents “we the people” and is against government waste and the good old boy network, this is just what republicans need to fix their image and direction.
Now the race is exciting and change is coming to both parties! History will be made period with either Obama or McCain!

she’s better than all of you

The conservative base is pumped. Millions of dollars in donations have poured in. McCain did good.
:)

McCains bitch problem.
One of McCains supporters at an event back in the spring called Hillary a “bitch”. McCain just laughed, and said it “was a great question”.
On a radio show a person called an opponent of Palins a “bitch”, and Palin just giggled away.
This is as much a indication of the “temperament” of the candidates as it is a window into the souls of the republican faithful. All they know is attacks, anger and hate. I have no respect for those like McCain, or Palin, who allow it, and don’t step in and correct these misguided people.

I am reminded of two movies: Stepford Wives and The Manchurian Candidate. McCain obviously feels more comfortable with the plot of the former. I rented them both from Blockbuster this afternoon. Cooking the popcorn right now.

Palin is better qualified than Obama, she has had real jobs, Obama has been a taker, living off of the political system and government his entire career. A governor of any state is much more of a leader than any junior senator, especially one with no accomplishments whatsoever.

Richard you shouldn’t be so hard on Michelle Obama. She doesn’t really seem like a Stepford Wife.

Did kitty just endorse John McCain handing out payola to bloggers in exchange for a managed centralized propaganda campaign against US citizens? I’m shocked.

Let’s see, who do we trust? A guy who SAYS he wants to clean up Washington yet who comes from the dirtiest political machine in the nation? (and one he never attempted to clean up)…
Or a woman who for years has been fighting corruption? You know, really DOING it?
Gosh, this is a tough one. Lol.

The Democrats have put a great team together this election cycle… Sorry Republicans… http://www.enewsreference.com

Wow I think republicans have completely lost their minds. McCain has pandered to women and instead of being offended at him they praise him for trying to get Hillary supporters. You guys vote McCain and watch the next Enron, Roe v. Wade get overturn, another Katrina, failing infrastructure, failing economy, more jobs going oversees, higher gas. You guys better be rich because you’ll have less money even with McCains coperate taxs cuts.
edabe your right, Politically Obama should of pick Hillary for Veep, but he put country first and select someone with unquestionable experience. I guess Obama chose country first, Party second. Palin is the female Dan Quayle.

Heh MJ, last time I checked Michelle Obama wasn’t running for VP. But from what I understand she is a damn good lawyer, which is more of a qualification that a Bachelors Degree from Idaho. Anyone know Palin’s GPA in school and while we’re at it her SAT score (if she dared do it).

Richard, gee I’m not sure, but anyone remember Carter’s? He was a genius by intelligence standards.
Helped a lot, didn’t it?
LOLOL. You can’t make this stuff up.

And Richard, by the way, they pulled this “is he smart” crapola with Reagan.
Didn’t work and Reagan was one of the most successful and loved presidents of all time.
So you really want to go there? Please do. Millions will flock to our team.

Jo
Palin been governor for 1.5 years of a population of 683,478 (47th highest in U.S). Not only is this lacking but Bush had 6.5 years on her and you know how much he screwed up the last 8 years of a much larger state. This is not a game people actual lives are on the line, so don’t give me BS about executive experience because none of the candidates have any.

MM, you’re right, this isn’t a game.
But if we’re going to have “on the job” training, then I’d rather it be for the VP, and not the Prez.
thanks for playing. but you lose.

John
Obama use to be on food stamps – he is elitist.
Obama gets a scholarship – he is elitist.
Obama goes to Harvard graduates with student loans – he is elitist.
Obama takes a job has civil attorney the most underpaid law profession (corperate makes the big bucks) – he is elitist.
Obama writes books about his life and philosophy which are actually good – he is elitist.
McCain can’t remember how many houses he owns – he’s in touch.

MM, elitism is a mindset.
It all starts at those Ivy League universities where they teach the students that they must control the masses.
So don’t even try to go there. They are elitests and they travel in the elite circles.
Next.

McCain supporters are going to taste the same medicine that Kerry did.
They hated McCain before they liked him, and they only like him now because they hate Obama.
You don’t win by just being against the other guy, just like in 2004.

I mean you forgot two

MM, if Obama wins, America DOES lose.
I prefer my president and First Lady to have respect for this country.
Which if they did, they wouldn’t be in Trinity Church for 20 years and watch their mentor trash this country every Sunday.
Nor would they attend parties and socialize with terrorist Bill Ayers who said recently “America makes me want to puke”
MM, you lose on this game. Don’t even try to defend Obama.

Palin has a bs in journalism, was mayor of 6,000, elected to Gov a year and a half ago.
Obama, current US Senator on the Foreign Relations Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Veterans Affairs Committee, Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee.
Passed Ethics Reform, Gov’t Transparency, Comprehensive plan to secure nuclear weapons, Benefits for Veterans, Katrina legislation, has written almost 1000 pcs of legislation, and has co-sponsored over 1000 pcs of legislation.
Served 11 yrs in Illinois State Senate, Civil Rights Attorney for 9 yrs, taught Consitutional Law at the Univ of Chicago.

Jo
Since Obama is soooooooooo bad. Tell what McCain will do. The best thing Obama has done for this country is get people registered and involved in the political system. But enlighten me why McCain?

Obama = no executive experience
Palin is already ahead of him by YEARS.
President McCain – in a landslide.

Obama talks about change, but McCain actually acts on it! Obama was so afraid of a woman that he didn’t even vet poor Hillary. Palin has more chief executive experience and far more accomplishments than Barrack Hussein Obama! You can smell the fear of Democrats.

Gov Palin is also an energy EXPERT.
Just wait till the topic of energy comes up in the Biden debate.
Can’t wait.

Joe
Oh my god!!! (I had to take the time to right it). You can’t tell me why I should vote McCain. I can easily go for Barr why not Barr, or write in ron Paul. Tell me why should I vote for McCain.

No, actually the jury is still out on Obama.
He’s accomplished nothing and Palin has accomplished PLENTY.
You really don’t want a match up on these two. You really don’t. Obama will look like a nobody.

Palin is not fit to be President, or even Vice President, since she doesn’t even know what the job entails. I learned in Elementary Social Studies that the Vice President is supposed to preside over the Senate, can be a tie breaker, and of course, fill in for the President if something should happen( MCINsane getting a stroke, for example.)SO by my logic, that makes ME more qualified than she.
If she doesn’t even know that, how is she going to possibly meet with world leaders? Sure, she’s pro life, but what does she think about the Enron Loophole, or the mortgage crisis, or the War in Iraq?
But arguing against conservatives is almost pointless. The people who are voting for McCain won’t listen to reason. The people who “love” Palin are morons.
People who vote based on gun ownership and pro life and religion and all that stuff don’t realize that they are voting against themselves every time, that the Republican have figured out the con game that gets people distracted so that they can dig into the treasury and get them and their corporate friends wealth. That’s what the War in Iraq is about-so Haliburton and KBR and the Carlyle Group can make money, not to mention the oil companies.
So go ahead Republicans! Vote for McBain and I’m willing to bet we are in for a rough 4 years. Don’t cry to me when you can’t buy gas, buy a home, or go to a hospital. You’ll be destitute, but at least Gays won’t be able to get married.
Yay!

Jo
Mission Accomplish, Jo can’t tell me why I should vote for McCain, can you tell me why.

Palin has accomplished what?
She was a mayor of a small town, and has been a Gov for 1.5 yrs. She has a bs in journalism.
She’s great at having kids.
What else has she accomplished Jo?
Oh, she was a sports commentator.

Difference between the candidates:
As Obama achieved an historic victory, McCain does an ad and congratulates him.
When McCain announces his VP, Obama team tears out a memo blasting her inexperience (isn’t that ironic?!) and bashes small towns in the process.
Keep it classy dems.

An energy expert?

“Energy expert” well she did raise taxes ( windfall profits tax the same thing Obama is for ) on the oil drillers in Alaska. But the GOP doesn’t want to talk about that little fact. lol

Somebody anybody tell me why I should vote for McCain. I hear all these blogger try to tear down Obama who actually has made policies but not one of you can tell me why I should vote for McCain without using slogans.

bc46
Don’t worry about Jo, he doesn’t even know why he is voting for McCain.

If Obama had even attempted to try and clean up Chicago politics, then I’d have some respect for him.
But it was dirty politics who got him elected and now he says he wants to clean up?
HA! Hilarious.

McCain has been fighting for Americans for years. He’s bucked his party when he thought they were wrong and he’s a wise man.
Obama has done nothing. He did nothing for Chicago (oh wait he voted “present” 100 times!) and he’s done nothing in DC but run for president.
Sorry, but I choose to go with the people who mean what they say and have a record of accomplishment.
McCain/Palin in a landslide.

Again guys. This isn’t Obama vs Palin. Obama cares about one person, and that’s John McCain. Obama is comfortable with his VP choice, and we’ll have to see what happens with McCain’s. Right now, they’re scrambling a bit because they didn’t do all their homework. People are starting to talk, which is bad news for the McCain team. It was the risk he took when he picked her without vetting her, but he was the one that went that route. Now they’re in mini crisis management mode.
This is reflective of McCain’s judgement and organization. We’ll see how it turns out, but we now know that he’ll willing to take huge, and somewhat poorly thought through risks.
It’s up to you if you want that in a President.

lol Jo, have at it. But you might want to do some more research on that experience and accomplishment thing on Palin. So your bubble doesn’t get busted.

bc46,
by the way, if you say the Alaska papers say she’s not qualified to even be VP, do they think Obama should be president???
LOLOL.
Why not just quote me the DNC talking points next! Or how about the NYT!
You can’t make this crap up. LOL.

They said that 80% is erroneous, its more like 65%, but you keep at it. I’m sure you’ll find something she’s done that will excite you.

Hey Jo
How many people have landlines in Alaska. Think about it, that how they do polling. So few people in such a huge place, more people would have things like generators, cell phones, land lines not so likely. 80% of 600,000 is still 17.5 million short.

Only “great americans” will vote for McCain…fueled by hate and whatever they are told to do.

bc46,
Yes, and McCain was VOTED too. And he’s infinitely more qualified to be president.
So you just made my point.
Thanks!

For people so picky about experience, I sure didn’t note any of this concern when Kerry picked Edwards.
What had Edwards done? A couple of years in the senate, and NOTHING before that.
Lol. You guys forget we have good memories.

bc46,
Yes, and I said i’ll trust the people’s approval rating of her rather than some liberal editors opinions.
Again, what’s next? Quoting me the NYT?
Seriously.

JO
More info. I judge politicans by how much they make. Biden althought he has been in Washington D.C. has long as McCain seems to be worth a max of only a whopping $400,000. Compared with other politicians, if he has been gaming the system, he is really bad at it.

If the Alaska papers are saying Palin isn’t qualified to be VP, what are they saying about Obama’s qualifications to be President??
Oh wait, let me guess….they think he’s ready for the job.
Am I right? Lol.

And so do we Jo…
How important could foreign policy be now that Sarah has zero experience?
She doesn’t even know what the VP does, but she’s qualified? You should read more.

JO
How much is 80% of 600000. It is alot less then the votes Obama has earned I proving he is qualified to be President. Hey if you think Palin is qualified check out Major Daley, keeping gambling out of Chicago and cleaning up the city. By the way Major Daley has 2.4 more million people in his town. By the way Daley is considered the Best major in the U.S.

Obama isn’t saying anything about her qualifications. Her qualifications for President should the 72 year old cancer surviver at the top of the ticket be unable to handle his duties is up for debate. She’ll have the opportunity to answer those questions in the weeks coming up.
In the meantime, Obama has been allowing the American people to get to know him and his qualifications for over a year of intensive campaigning. He’s put together a multi-billion (with a B) dollar campaign that took out the greatest political team in decades, revolutionizing campaign organizing and fundraising in the process. Like him or not, there’s a reason why he’s here. And it wasn’t because this was handed to him.
Palin’s getting her shot now. She’s got a lot of brushing up to do, this is the big leagues.

dannity, Obama has NO qualifications. he’s been running for the presidency almost from the get-go.
Let me repeat. he has no experience. If you are looking for experience, you will vote for McCain.
Again, this is simple.

lol Jo…try to keep up. Here, I’ll try to type a little larger for you.
THAT AIN’T THE ISSUE.
LOL SHE HAS ZERO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE. WE ARE INVOLVED IN TWO WARS RIGHT NOW. DOES SHE EVEN KNOW WHERE THE TWO COUNTRIES ARE?
TRY TO KEEP UP JO.

ROFL MM

When asked in 2004 if he’d consider running for the presidency, Obama said he believed when you apply for a job you should be qualified and he said he wouldn’t be ready.
Straight out of Obama’s mouth.
Even OBAMA himself said he wouldn’t be ready.
And for once, I agree with him.

I sense that Standard Republican likes sarcasm.
Let me spell it out, pointless as it may be to try to convince right wingers of anything logical.
McCain is too old to be president. He’s 72 and not in good health. If I was 72, I would be kicking back in Florida on the golf course. Clearly McCain is doing it for the ego, not because he’s really interested in doing the the hard work that needs to be done. What does he care, he’s a billionare! McCain , just retire already, like most people your age.
Meanwhile, Palin, has no experience. Honestly, the whole ” we want a maverick outsider to bring in fresh new energy” is a complete crock. We need somebody who understands how to get something done in Washington. (Honestly, I don’t know why we’ve had all state governors for the past 30 years. Carter, a great man, ultimately failed because he couldn’t understand how the politics of the Congress functions. Obama and Biden really know.) The people who say Palin has “Executive ” experience, PLEASE!
If you want your car fixed, do you go to somebody who has worked in a garage for years, or someone who has never been under the hood but is a “MAVERICK”…..
It’s just common sense, people…..
Memo to the press, stop calling Palin a Maverick, stop calling McCain a maverick,it just gives away the fact that you are more propagandists than ” reporters”
And yes, McCain technically has more experience than Obama, but he has terrible judgement, and did I mention that he’s older than dirt? He doesn’t have the energy or the mind or the compassion.He’s a senile old rich guy. He could give a damn about people losing their homes…..
Once again, this won’t convince the right wingers. They’ll vote for McCain out of party loyalty or simply because they are racist. Palin might get the God vote. But it will probably be close just like the last 2 elections. There’s not much middle ground in this country.
And if the undecideds haven’t decided yet? What the heck are you waiting for, the choice is pretty clear. Unless you are the heartless CEO of an oil company or a defense contractor, you have no business voting for McLame.
It’s worth noting that Pat Buchanan said Obama’s speech was one of the best in History. Maybe there is hope.

JO
Obama’s Experience:
Columbia University
Community Organizer
Harvard Law grad (cum laude)
Project Vote
Civil Lawyer
University of Chicago Professor
Illinois State Legislature
U.S. Legislator
Lincoln’s experience:
Illinois State Legislature
We all know how good a President Lincoln was.

Jo, you’re going to say that no matter what evidence we give you to contradict that. I’m not going to waste your time. My only question is, and it’s a serious one, what reason do you have to vote *for* John McCain?

I do not like sarcasm.
I am just paraphrasing what I hear on Fox News. You know, fair and balanced.
Jesus hates Obama. I think that sums it up.

MM, Jo doesn’t recognize Obama’s accomplishments and experience.

McCain = incredible foreign policy experience
Obama = no foreign policy experience
If you’re saying you’d rather have Obama who has no foreign policy experience because you’re afraid to vote for McCain in case he dies and his VP wins and she has no experience and that’s bad……
Do you see where I’m going? Lol.

Obama, made a major political mistake on not getting Hillary and bringing the whole party together, period!
McCain helped his campaign by picking another maverick and female who can stand up to anyone. Palin has as much experience as Obama on top of his ticket. Palin is a new inspiring pick the republicans need. She has 80 percent approval in Alaska and is the most popular Governor in America. She taxed oil companies and gave it all back to Alaska’s taxpayers at $1,200 each.

The Republican Party has always been for the rich and special interests, Sarah represents “we the people” and is against government waste and the good old boy network, this is just what republicans need to fix their image and direction.
Now the race is exciting and change is coming to both parties! History will be made period with either Obama or McCain!

Joe
Obama has at least 1.5 more years foreign policy experience then Palin. Do the math…

MM, Palin not running for President. Obama is.
Obama = no foreign policy experience
McCain – an infinite amount
See? This is easy. You vote McCain. He’s ready NOW.

A load of interesting stuff about John McCain from brother Joe.
1. It shows John’s Oedipus Complex with Cindy mirroring the role his mother had when he was a boy. Palin kind of plays into this as well.
2. Shows his family was Navy royalty with both father and grandfather being admirals.
3. Shows how out of touch the McCains are with average people — Mom was managing the oil leases [my mom did that too LOL!] and John knows how Americans are because he serves on a committee.
4. Finally, brains don’t flow on the male side as dad and grandpa finished near the bottom of their classes along with John.
“The person who took care of all the business was my mother,” he said. “My father had no idea about the family business, what oil leases he owned in Oklahoma.”
Joe McCain, who makes his home in Washington’s Northern Virginia suburbs, chuckled when recalling that “one time, [John McCain's mother] bought a house to remodel” in Southeast Washington while “[dad] was at sea.”
John McCain’s years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee also help him “emphasize with the American people” on pocketbook issues, Joe McCain said.
John McCain was a less-than-stellar student who graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy.
“By the way, that’s a McCain tradition,” he said. “My father and grandfather, both four-star admirals, and they graduated in the bottom fourth of their class, too.”

Lies, Lies your all lying liberals!!! Facts, and quotes, all lies, newspapers, videos, pictures, all lies of the liberal media!!
The economy is great, its just a mental recession!! The value of the dollar has not dropped!!! Its a lie!! gas prices aren’t too high its a lie!! Food prices haven’t gone up, the media is just lying!!The real estate market isn’t collapsing, its a lie!!! Home values haven’t gone down, its a lie!! Iraq was a good idea!! Its Clintons fault!! Its Ted Kennedys fault, Its Al Gores fault, Its the environmentalists fault, Its Hollywoods fault!! Its the minorities, and the immigrants fault!! Its affirmative actions fault!! Its not Bushes fault for the spending of the last eight years that added three trillion dollars to the deficit!!
It pretty standard stuff, nothing new. I’m enjoying every day of this purging of one dimensional republican political philosophys that is no longer accepted or relevant.

Jo
McCain said Palin qualified for president. Obama is more Qualified then Palin. Which means……

Republicans have no integrity issues.
When they have Gay Sex in airport bathrooms, they really do not. that’s because they are absinent until marriage. anything outside of marriage, doesn’t count, and since there is no gay marriage, they just can’t have gay sex.

But Jo, McCain’s judgment isn’t ready NOW.
After Karl Rove’s statements about the Gov of VA, the republican party is the party of sheer hypocrisy. Period.

dannity,
What good is experience if you’re going to make sloppy decisions?
Oh you mean like Biden’s vote to go to war???
LOL. You guys are weak. This is too easy.

JO
Biden son is going to Iraq in October. Pay your respect to the man in uniform. Or do you hate the troops.
I can play the game too GDI.

Biden voted for the war!!! OMG!!!!
Oops.

By the way, has Biden the Bigot insulted Indian 7-11 workers yet this week?
Lol.

Jo
Bush lied about the Iraq war, and McCain ejaculated Mission Accomplished 5 years early. OOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

McCain has picked the right person to be on his ticket. The more and more I hear about Sarah Palin, the more I like her. I think the negative remarks on here by Obama Bin Lyin supporters are because they a living in fear now. Palin is the REAL deal, unlike Osama. Good Work, President John McCain and Vice President Sarah Palin!
McCain/Palin 08!

MM,
Biden’s OTHER son, the evil LOBBYIST is being sued.
And if you’re talking sons going to Iraq, both McCain and Palin have sons in the military.
So you lose again.

Obama is a pud! He knows that Palin is 100% more better than Biden….Obama is lukewarm because he knows he’s going to lose the election in November!
McCain/Palin 08!
—
Folks posting this kind of hooey have to be paid spammers – or commedians! “Palin is 100% more better than Biden” -
Yeah, being a high school basketball star, beauty queen and a “hockey mom” is much more impressive than Mr. Bidens creds… Silly me.
He has served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dealing with issues related to drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties. He is a long-time member and current chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and has worked on resolutions concerning the Yugoslav wars and Iraq War. Biden is also a long-time member and current chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Yeah, you’re right, Palin is “100% more better”.

Ann, if you’re an evangelical, then I’m the Queen of England.
You guys think we’re stupid, don’t you? Lol.
By the way, the blogsophere caught yet ANOTHER media pushed “lifelong republican voting for Obama” stunt. He wasn’t republican at all.
The media has to tell lies to make Obama look good.

lol you guys are unbelievable.
This is starting to sound like Fox News. We distort, you decide.

MM,
Speaking of lobbyists, I thought according to dems & Obama they were evil.
Then why did ABC’s Brian Ross do an investigation at the convention and film all sorts of high ranking dems schmoozing with the LOBBYISTS in the fancy Denver hotel suits?
Hmmmmm???? What hypocrites you all are.

Palin’s approval ratings are closer to 65% . . .
That doesn’t jive at all with the USA Today survey where she has has a confidence rating in the 30% range for being able to function in a vice presidency capacity. During a MSNBC interview yesterday, she was unable to state the responsibilities of a vice president.

Obama will need “on the job training” day one from Biden”. This is why experienced Biden was picked because to create “change” Obama will need Biden to show him how to do it.

Republicans just repeat B.S. ad nauseum , it’s like the old game” I know you are but what am I?” Just yell and scream the loudest and you win.
Barack Obama has way more experience in every way than Palin. He’s been in the Senate in Washington, he’s been to Europe and Iraq on dimplomatic …..ahhhh what’s the use, you don’t care. Anyway, I stand by my argument.
Let’s just imagine this scenario:
McCain/Palin wins.
McCain gets cancer relapse or has a stroke. Or heart attack.
Palin is President.
China and or Russia decide this is their chance,cause no one will take this Palin seriously, she’ll be too busy taking care of her 5 wonderful kids.
They invade , we are forced to speak Russian and or Chinese for the next 50 years.
Or actually I ‘m not joking, China decides to convert their dollars to Euros, collapsing our economy overnight, and Palin has no idea what to do because she’s never heard of the Euro.She thinks it’s a type of Elk.
I’m sort of joking but, please people. Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard has more executive experience than Palin.
I don’t wish for death on anyone except it would be great to see if McLame couldn’t serve for some reason and then Palin steps in and has no idea what to do and then we would just have to impeach her ass because she’s that unqualified. We would be sitting ducks on the world stage.
Come on, Alaska?

Jo
Writing policies and talking are two different things. None of which wrote the Enron loophole is working for Obama the last time I check. Question can you define speculator in the context of oil and energy economy.

Jesus hates Obama.
Jesus loves Palin.
McCain/Palin will bring about the rapture.
That’s why Palin is More better. The University of Idaho teaches you more better grammar. Sad, because those folks in Latah County really are good teachers…

Jo, hours after the Palin announcement, there were 5 comments of that forum. I know, because I was directed there from another blog.
Did you spam it since then with your “incredibly fast” typing? Congrats.

ChadLexington:
We Republicans learned our arguing style from the National Socialist party of Germany. We just keep repeating stuff until everyone believes it. I have to say National Socialist because if I say NAZI, people think it’s worse than just Socialist.
We hope to be good Nazis, like they were. Seig Heil, McCain!

dannity, no i read the comments myself and there were a BUNCH of them.
I’d say pretty indicative of where Hillary supporters are headed.
But thanks for your concern. LOL.

Does anyone else find it a little unsettling that less than a month ago ms palin, you know, Mr. McCains vp candidate – had to ask what the vice president does all day?

JO
The polls were taken before Obama’s speech. Double Check.

Yikes, no that’s not unsettling.
Most people don’t really know what the VP does. In fact the VPs often joke about it.
But nice try. I see the leftwing websites are desperately trying to peddle that around.
Lol.

dannity,
And up against McCain he’s a zero in the experience dept.
I prefer the one with the most experience. That’s McCain.
plus he was right on the surge and he knows there aren’t 57 states.
So I’ll stick with McCain. he’s a great man.

Because John McCain is a true leader, has bucked his party when he doesn’t agree with him, he’s a maverick, a reformer, he’s against earmarks, he was a hero in Vietnam, he was right about the surge, his foreign policy experience is endless…..
do I need to go on?
Oh yeah, and he doesn’t hang around with terrorists like Bill Ayers and doesn’t attend radical racist America hating churches like that other guy.
There.
Didn’t think so.

Jo, ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Did you just try to make an argument that “Most people don’t know what a VP does”?!
I learned what a VP does in grade school. I would expect an elected official to have an idea. And for d@mn sure, I’d expect someone seeking the office of vice-president to know what it is he or she is about to be doing.
I’m sure someone has briefed her. I’m not positive of that, because McCain isn’t known for his willingness to prepare, but I’m sure someone’s gotten around to it. But yes, that is disconcerting that the person seeking the 2nd highest office in the land didn’t have an idea what that job entailed a month ago.

Jo
What has McCain Reform since he got in office?

dannity,
who cares if she knows what it entails. Most people don’t.
If that’s all you got….
Lol.

Again, what good is experience if he he’s sloppy and easily mislead. What good is experience if his judgement is fundamentally flawed.
MCCAIN DIDN’T VET HIS VP! Defend that.

“Does anyone else find it a little unsettling that less than a month ago ms palin, you know, Mr. McCains vp candidate – had to ask what the vice president does all day?”
And does anyone else find it unsettling that Obama attended a racist church for 20 years? I know I do.

The main position of the VP is to be ready in case something happens to be the president.
I’d say 99% of people know THAT and nothing else.
As for what they do all day? who knows? Except for break ties in the senate, it’s anyone’s guess.
So you lose on that point you’re trying to make a big deal out of.

Mack, bingo!

JO
Stop avoiding the question. You gave me a legitimate reason to vote for McCain but you take the time to answer a simple question. If McCain is such a profound reformer what exactly in 26 years has he reformed?

Mack
Obama ran against Hillary for 18 months, if she didn’t find anything beyond today they will not.

Jo- I have no understanding of your reasoning. Palin’s low confidence ratings have nothing to do with Obama. Not anymore than her inability during an interview to state the responsibilities of the vice presidency. Can you specify historically what you mean about the Clinton’s 20 point bounce?

“Mack
Obama ran against Hillary for 18 months, if she didn’t find anything beyond today they will not.”
What they’ve found is enough. He doesn’t get a pass because he’s the first African American to be nominated. He’s a blatant liar.

Mack, Obama’s gone through the most thoughrough vetting process that we’ve ever seen. It’s all out there, and the people have had the chance to see it, judge it, and then vote for it if they chose. The fact that he’s here now is indicative of the results of that vetting.
Palin hasn’t gone through that process. That was the perogative of McCain. He didn’t do that, and now we’re slowly getting word of the fallout from that decision. Calling that sloppy work is being kind.
What was McCain’s excuse?

Mack
Don’t insult me. Black Americans have a heritage, just like Irish Americans, and desendents of the Jefferesons. Really Black Americans is an interesting culture because we don’t pledge allegiance to Africa, we love America but we celebrate it differently. I love to talk about this some other time but I can’t condense an entire culture perspective into a single blog post.

dannity,
In case you have forgotten, the worst stuff about Obama came after several BIG primaries.
If Rev. Wright had been known, I know he wouldn’t have won Iowa in the first place.
And this is probably why he can’t even crack 50% or above.

You want to talk about bad judgment? How about attending a racist, America bashing church for 20 years while even THINKING about possibly running for president one day?
Talk about HORRIBLE judgment. Oh yeah, and then thinking nobody would find out!
Lol.

Jo
Hey Jo who is beating mcCain in Iowa today.

jo oh before i go post convention gallup poll was the only one that gave obama an 8 pt bump. ramussen and others put it at 4…last time i checked was this am-so it may have changed.
goodnight

Jo
Okay that is one reform in 26 years. Why should I vote for McCain.

“Mack, you’re right. Obama is a HUGE liar. He totally lied about his abortion voting record until the Smoking Gun got the papers and proved him a liar.
All you Obamabots are being fooled. But Thank God enough people out there are finding out and McCain will win.”
He lied about his relationship with Rezko right on national TV and no one called him out on it.

MM,
Because he’s not the most liberal guy in the senate.
If this list isn’t enough for you, then I find it amusing that you’re voting for Obama.
But to each his own.

“Yet a PRESIDENTIAL candidate who has a long relationship with the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers (“America makes me want to puke”) and the libs have NO PROBLEM with that.”
They have no problem with it because they believe that what he did was right. They hate America.

dannity,
This is the dems year. Bush is unpopular. Dems will pick up even more seats in the senate and the house. Obama has had unprecedented favorable coverage by the mainstream media. The shaky economy, the unpopular war, etc. etc. and yet Obama can’t close the deal.
He still is basically TIED with McCain. if Obama can’t win with these condiditons, then he could NEVER win.
And that’s just the facts.

“Wright is not Obama. And McCain has his own preacher problem that he had to separate himself from.”
He was a father figure and a mentor to Obama for 20 years! He named his dam book for him.

Talking about change … Palin has BROUGHT change unlike Obama who TALKS about change …
Palin brought changes where she is …
Obama, YOU DONT NEED TO BE PRESIDENT to bring change … !!! If you want change, Obama, you can go back to the Senate and Illinois and bring change there …
But NO, you WANT to be president … and this is nothing about bringing change … it is ONLY about you being president, isn’t it Obama?
Palin is a pleasant contrast to you … she brought changes and has more executive experience than you and she is only running to be VP …
You on the other hand, Obama, wants to be President … No thanks … go back to Illinos ..

“mack, you’re right. Liberals hate America. I’ve known this for years.”
They believe it’s better elsewhere. Ask the Mexicans how they feel about America. They can work themselves to death in Mexico and never rise out of poverty. The spoiled ingrates here want everything handed to them on a silverplatter.

McCain is a reformer. He’s reformed himself out of his own maverick image.
He’s now against every major piece of legislation that he’s ever sponsored. He’s promised to vote against his own bills coming up in the Senate. He’s embraced the same people who slimed him and his own family in the hopes that they’ll do the same thing to someone else, and allow him to just move into the White House already.
Why, what kind of reform where you looking for?

Jo
I love America. I love it enough to know when it needs to be fix. Do you leave a car who love on the road to rust, or do you take care of it and CHANGE the oil once in a while. I take pride in my freedom and I use it to make America better. It takes standing up to what I think is injustice. But Republicans cause Katrina so New Orleans most of not loved America enought to get Fema.

JO
Says who. Obama single handedly pulls equal ammounts of money the RNC and McCain pull in together, Oh and without big oil money funding 527s.

NO, McCain DID NOT have his OWN preacher problem.
Hagee was NOT his preacher.
So quit peddling that crap.

That was a pretty nice kiss on the lips Obama put on Biden’s wife lips at the convention. What happened to the standard knuckle to knuckle bump with Michelle. I can’t imagine that he would have done that with Hillary’s spouse Bill. Maybe thats why he picked Biden, because he did not want to kiss Bill at the convention.

The rightwing is pumped, but this news is already pushing away independents. And they don’t even know how extreme Palin’s views really are yet.
Good luck guys.

A C regarding your uninformed comment about mrs palen not being able to manage a culturally diverse country. her husband is native american inuit.
their goes your little attempt at the race card.

“In what world is an 8 point lead “basically tied”. An 8 point national lead is an electoral college slaughter.”
Good luck holding that lead.

Thanks again Dannity for the clarification.
Jo – What do you mean Palin has higher favorables than Biden? According to USA today, Biden was up in the 60% range for voter confidence in contrast to her 30% range, which was the historical lowest and approached Dan Quayle’s confidence ratings.

Mack, Lol. They’re amusing, aren’t they?
If KERRY the moron can be ahead of Bush by 13 points around this time, why can’t Obama??
And we all know how Bush beat Kerry by 4 million votes.
Poor Obama ain’t gonna know what hit him in November. I hope he doesn’t need therapy.

It was worse. He picked him out, and explicitly went after his endorsement. He called Rod Parsley, the man who said that America was created to go to war with “Islam” his spiritual mentor. That’s a bit awkward if you’re going to try to conduct international relations with our allies in the Middle East, or try to have peace talks with Israel and Palestine.
Hagee, the man who’s approval McCain specifically chased has called Catholicism “The Great Whore”, and said that Hitler was doing God’s work. That’s sounds like a problem to me.

JO
I like to remind you that Bush invaded Iraq and lie to the American people. Tell me why is McCain such a great Reformer and Maverick?

“Mack, Lol. They’re amusing, aren’t they?”
It actually scares me to think that people will follow someone so blindly. I guess they’re weakminded. The same kind of people that followed Hitler.

Mack, when you’re basically a people that has no God, you will cling to anything. And they are certainly, and in a hugely embarrassing way, clinging to this person who is a total unknown.
It’s just sad and pathetic. Makes you think they’ve never had anyone with true character in their lives as role models.

Oh, THAT’S better. I’m sure that’ll fly with voters. Not to mention our international allies in the Middle East that are going to look at McCain with real suspicion now.
We’re making technical language defenses now? Can you tell me what the definition of “is” is next?

dannity, it’s your guy who can’t close the deal. You don’t need to be lecturing us about what will fly with voters.
It’s YOUR guy who can’t seem to get the job done. Why is that?

“If Obama’s impressive rhetoric even matched his past record and actions even 10%, I’d have more respect for him.
But nothing matches. There is no THERE there.”
100% right again Jo.

I heard Sarah Palin speak at a McCain rally in Washington Pennsylvania today…
It was the “exact same speech” she gave as her acceptance speech yesterday, but not delivered as well… Today the crowd booed loudly when she came to her tired line praising Hillary Clinton!
So what kind of a joke is this? McCain offers us some “pretty” one trick pony?
She recanted the same tired story, the same LIE about the bridge to nowhere.
She actually supported the bridge in 2006, but when the focus came on it and federal funds were cut, she ran away from that support at full speed!
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/30/palin-wanted-nowhere-bridges/
What is this, some kind of an ill conceived beauty pageant? Also McCain just bumbled through his introduction of her as well, making mistake after mistake, just very sad to see…
Now he wants us to vote for him and his rah, rah “yes woman” cheerleader with ZERO National and Foreign Policy experience??
I don’t think so…..
We need real change in Washington and a real vision – not some ambiguous promise to “reform things.” I guess this is his “new ” campaign theme now?
Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!!!!

Mack, thank you!
MM, your post is hilarious. You just said I gave you no reason to vote for McCain and yet I gave you a whole list.
Go ahead and vote for the empty suit Mr. Obama who has accomplished nothing but is a good speaker.
If you like a guy who belongs to a radical America hating church for 20 years and doesn’t flinch, if you like a guy who hangs around and has fundraisers with guys who bombed the Capitol, who says America makes him want to puke….then GO AHEAD!!
But most people won’t vote for him, and I guarantee you, in the end, he’ll lose.
Thank you God.

Wait you gave me McCAin-Feingold. that was about it.

“I heard Sarah Palin speak at a McCain rally in Washington Pennsylvania today…
It was the “exact same speech” she gave as her acceptance speech yesterday, but not delivered as well… Today the crowd booed loudly when she came to her tired line praising Hillary Clinton!”
So she doesn’t have 300 advisers writing speeches for her. And at least it was her speech that she was repeating, and not Deval Patrick’s. What a loser.

I heard Obama’s speech the other night. Basically it was the same speech he gave at the convention 4 years ago, although not delivered as well.

Mack, this is too easy, isn’t it? Lol.
I love messing with the fools. They’re incredibly uninformed.

I take my hat off to you Jo. You know your stuff and always send them scurrying away. They can’t take the heat.

Oh God, please stay away from Alaska Obama…..it’s not for girly men!
Gov. Palin has had more Executive experience than you have the whole time you were voting “present” in the Senate.
Governor comes after President and VP, in the scheme of things.
McCAIN/PALIN ’08!!!

According to the McCain folks, Palin has more “executive experience” than Obama…
Well, on that same front, she has more “executive experience” than McCain, too… since he’s never held an office outside of senator…
Why isn’t Palin on the top of the ticket? She has more executive experience than McCain!!!

mm….Obama rejected the 10 town halls McCain wanted to do together. The guy RUNS from debates, as he sucked at it with Hillary and McCain cleaned his clock at the Saddlback faith forum. He needs a script and a prompter. Should have gone into acting.

“Hillary is on our side now and I am sure she didn’t like hearing about how Palin called her a WHINER!!!”
Her decision happened to be party before country, and mine is country before party. Palin is just icing on the cake. Gotta love a woman that knows how to handle an M-16
Nobama…ever

“The election season has gotten a lot funnier with her selection. Some of her views (e.g., man does not contribute to global warming, doesn’t believe in evolution, …) , suggest that she might also think that Earth is flat.”
At least she’s not afraid to state her beliefs, unlike Barry. He says one thing and does another…well actually he really doesn’t do anything except read from a teleprompter and feed his own ego. Everything is over this clown’s pay grade.

“While were at it lets get her a slot on all the Sunday shows, I mean Biden has been there – should be no problem for you new Palin fans, right?’
She’s an intelligent woman and will hold her own. She can actually express herself without having to rely on a teleprompter.

“Nothing else matters besides the fact that this woman thinks that creationism should be taught in schools and that global warming is a myth. These two beliefs show a direct contempt for reason and truth and automatically disqualify her in my mind.”
What does Barry believe?

Re:Nothing else matters besides the fact that this woman thinks that creationism should be taught in schools and that global warming is a myth. These two beliefs show a direct contempt for reason and truth and automatically disqualify her in my mind.
Blah Blah Blah..Obama was selected by the left likes of Dean, Reed, and Nancce. McCain will win and the Supreme Court will not be for you!

For all the hoopla about her independence, she is by nature of her energy views and her constituent oil based economy, a big oil selection. What a laugh, we need to reduce our dependence on oil but McCain only promises more of the same. This election isn’t about people, it’s about ideas and McCain is wrong, wrong, wrong.

This pick by Mr. McCain says a lot about his judgment, or lack thereof. To pick a former mayor of a town of 9,000 and a governor of with a population of half the size of Brooklyn, 120,000, really shows what kind of decisions we could expect from this man, were he to be elected. And for a man with major health problems, the need for an experienced VP is paramount!

Palin = Eva Peron
I think Palin will be a great leader in the 3rd world… like Eva Peron in Argentina in 1950′. She has guts and charisma,,, but look at her stand points on many issues.. they are not for America in 21st century.
Please stay in Alaska.

Another rich one found in Richard’s comment about Stepford Wives and how “McCain obviously feels more comfortable with the plot…” Just try to describe Palin as a Stepford Wife. This is a woman who makes waves, this is a woman whose husband is “First Dude,” this is a woman they’re trying to trash for being in public office instead of being a traditional mom. If you want to try sticking the Stepford label somewhere, try it on Michelle Obama since her transformation and her warm speech at the convention. It won’t even stick on her because she’s not that good at acting.

Palin = Obama in age and epxerience. Great match.

I love it people at the McCain events are already starting to boo Palin. She got showered pretty good in Pennsylvania on Saturday, after some obvious pandering.
Not to worry she will get herself a six figure oil lobbyist job after November 4th, and next spring her tell all book comes out.

Where is the Hope and Change from Obama?
McCain exposed this woman hating fraud

The democrats should have seen this coming. If they had gone with Hillary as VP, they wouldn’t be living this nightmare now. “Pride cometh before a fall”. I guess Obama’s pride got in the way. I hope it was worth it.

My wife just got elected to head our local PTA — Republican VP material in 2012.

Someone asked who’s Palin? Year ago most of voters has the same question with Obama as who’s Obama? At least she’s done some for her state and country. How about Mr. Obama?

Obama got elected by selling his ‘soul’ to the crooked politcal machine in Chicago and the methods they used to “sell” him to the public. He works for them – not the American voter. He is whimp who “tip-toes” around issues and doesn’t take a stand — except “CHANGE”
Sarah Palin got elected by taking on crooked politicians. She has an approval rating of 80% amoung the people who elected her because she knows she works for them. She is “CHANGE” and walked the walk to prove it.

Time for church, bye.

“The fact that McCain did not even take the time to vet Palin speaks volumes aobut his judgement.”
And you know this how? Perhaps you are just typing to exercise your fingers. Let me offer a clue since apparently you have none: McCain has a large group of people who do the vetting for him. OK, you can go back to drinking now.

So the Alaskan “good ole boys” political machine doesn’t like Sarah Palin (and they own the newspapers. All the more reason to vote for her. She doesn’t work for them. She works for the voters who elected her and they give her an 80% approval rating.

There needs to be some serious debates between the two V.P. canidates.

A governor with a 80% approval rating while 87% of Alaskans are positive that she’s lying about her hand in having or trying to have her ex brother-in-law fired. Governor Palin appears to be very well-spoken, an advocate of political reform and yes a self-described hockey mom. But she’s also a blatant liar who didn’t think her plan to attempt to cover up her oldest daughters pregnancy would ever come back to haunt her. Watch the video and decide for yourself

Gracie:
EXACTLY.
I made the same point last night on one of these blogs.
I am sure the Alaskan newspapers were probably all in the pocket of the long-time “good old boy” incumbent who Palin defeated in the ’06 Gubernatorial race.
She wouldn’t have the approval rating she has among her constituents if everyone in the state felt as the newspapers there are trying to portray.
From what I hear, the only negatives from them about her nomination is that most of them are afraid they will lose her!

Well, if Obama was actually qualified to be President and didn’t have to choose an experienced babysitter as a running mate, perhaps he could have chosen Kathleen Sebelius as his running mate.
After all, Sebelius has been neglecting her duties as Governor of Kansas to campaign and swoon for Obama in hopes of getting a new job now that her tenure as Governor of Kansas is to become victim of term limitations.
And, Sebelius will not be able to secure one of the Kansas Senate seats as she has made significant enemies all over the state with her veto of the proposed energy plants in Western Kansas.
Sebelius could have given Obama what would keep the ruler of the Obama household (Michelle) happy as Sebelius would do what she was told and stay out of the spotlight, unlike that Senator from New York.
How amusing to watch the implosion of the Obama regime in slow motion…and with such unexpected direction…
What will Axelrove do now?

As a mom, I can’t see how she can take care of a special needs child and run for VP. Down syndrome or not, a baby needs his mother in the formative years. If you don’t have a choice, I can understand. She has a choice, even though she seems to have a good support system, it seems it’s all about her and not her newborn. Secondly, I can deal with guns and hunting, but the image of her and a gun, again….as a mom myself – when children are being killed in schools and streets, I’m not impressed.

What is this, some kind of an ill conceived beauty pageant? This is what McCain calls Country First? He chooses a “hockey mom” to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency?? This is a Joke, right?
Now he wants us to vote for him and his rah, rah “yes woman” cheerleader with ZERO National and Foreign Policy experience??
I don’t think so…..
We need real change in Washington and a real vision – not some ambiguous promise to “reform things.” I guess this is his “new ” campaign theme now?
Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!!!!

I’m all for McCain and Palin. For those that don’t think she is experienced enough…remember Presidents Clinton and George W. were both Governors first. Bill Clinton remarked the other night that nobody is ever ready for the office of President.
Palin may be Vice-President. If the two former Presidents can take office coming out of Governorship, why not Palin for Vice? The Democrats are always shouting about how America needs change! They will get that change with McCain and Palin. They won’t with Obama and Biden. Also…Obama may be great at speeches, but Palin delivers.
She is the go-getter that this country needs.

CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE is what democrats have been shoving down our throats for a year. What does Obammma do? Pick a 65 year old hairplug corpse.
What does McCain do? Picks a new, exciting, non-Washington, outsider. In other words, he picks CHANGE.
She has a family and babies – can’t have that in Washington, according to you woman hating democrats.
Sorry, you would make an exception for Hitlery.

Additional comment
Now here’s one part of the Obama speech that was particularly clever. As you know, we’ve been talking about Obama’s plan to raise taxes on the very people, small businessmen and women, who are providing about 80% of the new jobs our economy is producing. Obama’s response last night was to say that “I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow.”
Here, again, is where the ignorance of the American voter comes into play. I can just hear some of my listeners now: “That Neal Boortz said that Obama was going to raise taxes these small businessmen. Obama said he is going to eliminate him. There! I knew it! Boortz is a liar!”
Pay attention now. Obama said he was going to eliminate capital gains taxes. These small businessmen generally don’t pay capital gains taxes. They pay income taxes. Obama’s plan is to raise the income taxes on these entrepreneurs. Telling the American people that he will cut their capital gains taxes is simply a charade; a charade the uneducated will buy.

We saw the picture of her in google images. She does have experience in a flight simulator! John McCain can train her in less then 10 weeks to fly!

To MM:
Yes, Canada has universal health care – and their tax rate is 42% – 52% for each resident.
And one other thing:
Statement from Communist Party USA (CPUSA):
“The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them.”
http://cpusa.org/article/articleview/907/1/4/

What in the world was John McCain thinking when he chose her. There were so many better candidates. Given his age – why would he pick her.

Looks like the decision of giving birth to a baby after getting pregnant is a harder and more admiral decision than
not having to deal with it by getting an abortion.
If any of us were ever in that babys..position..Ill bet we hope our
mom was pro-life..

A 43 yr old woman having a kid is like two midgets having children. Its just not fair to the kids! peace.

ok

Jim its time to let that rev Wright stuff go. it is played out. This is how blacks practice their faith. they find strength in listening to negative comments on white people. it is morally uplifting to them after all those years of continued oppression. thats what gets them through sometimes. do you eat at Dennys, or buy reebok products who once were avid supporters of apartheid. well when that came to light blacks quit buying their stuff but whites continued to buy reeboks despite these revelations. If a man tells you he didn’t hear those negative comments over the past twenty year then u must take a man by his word unless of course u r a republican.

ok kelly, i wasn’t in the bedroom, but i know 40 yr old people don’t get pregnant by mistake. if obama didn’t support the born alive bill in the past, well he does now, google it if u want. we as human beings have the right to change our minds and take different positions. this is called growing up. u can call it flip flop if u want, but i know obama is on the right side of that whole fetus issue now, especially after getting burned by it. he’s grown up alot lately hasn’t he. regarding that whole conception thing he got it right on fathers day even a 5th grader knows conception starts when sperm meets egg. don’t know what he was thinking.

I hope you do more than google before
you vote for the president of the USA.
or you will get it in the end.Get It?

you’re on point tony. remember hillary wanting to obliterate IRAN, wow that was a strong word. but shes post menopausal isn’t she. maybe a woman is a bad idea all together. imagine mccain sick somewhere with palin giving orders i think it should be god bless america then.
