From a partisan perspective, this is going to be fun!

Just as I said, a cheap triangulated decision to steal the election by betraying principle

More BS from H. What principle is betrayed by being the first woman to be VP?

Flipper’s age will now certainly be an issue on voter’s minds.
Face it, John is old.

70 is the new 50.

I ain’t worrying about it with McCain, he’s not getting my vote for other reasons.

Funny how two-faced you so-called liberals can be, when political expedience rears its ugly head. Though based on the vile crap you post here, I suspect they’d vote you off the island if they could.

I thank McCain for introducing just the kind of person this country has needed for a long time. I love the message of reform and the experience Sarah brings gives the message even more credibility than McCain could hope for.

This is too funny:

“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” said Bill Burton, Obama Campaign Spokesman.

“That’s not change that we need.” Heh.

Somebody with more executive experience than Barrack. Slammed because like Barrack, she has no foreign policy experience.

LMAO.

You mean like Saddam Hussein has WMD’s, or 9/11 changed everything? Or that Barack Obama is a “black” separatist?

Both parties use scare tactics. I don’t make any other claim.

The only difference I have seen in the last thirty years is there have been some politicians who have made a real difference given that background, but they mostly haven’t been Democrats, who continue to use scare tactics as their only devise for getting elected, having really no new ideas since the 1960s as far as I can tell….

She’s a bit new to the statehouse, but overall it’s a very good pick, probably the best McCain could do.

Good for her! I just wish she would spend the time to help raise it, instead of pursuing her political ambitions. Who do you think is raising that child anyway?

So you’re saying that the women should stay home and raise the children?

Keep talking. I think some of the Hillary supporters are watching.

(Seriously, her husband helps raise the kids. That’s a newfangled thing we do in the 21st century.)

And, of course, national experience is a non-issue given Obama’s own lack of any substantive national experience.

That plays more into Obama’s hand than McCain’s. I just can’t believe McCain would pick her.

I think we all know he did this to try and steal Hillary’s votes. For it he truly believed what he said about experience, she was the last choice in line for Veep. So, he is either triangulating and making decisions not on principle but political expedience or he is a liar.

I can’t say it is a bad choice right now because who knows how it will work out, but it sure feels like one.

Awesome choice!

Hopefully, she will school America on why McCain must be elected!

H:

It is not sexist to point out that was a PTA mom.

It is sexist to single that out as if that were her only qualification, but nice spin.

Hannitized reveals what’s under the skin of every liberal: Bias that suits the occassion.

“Screechy voice”, “PTA mom”…. in other words, a FEMALE!

Hey, I think there are a lot of talented females for the Job. Ferraro. She had a commanding voice. This gal, while having some experience sounds like an average hockey mome (she calls herself a hockey mom btw).

There are other choices McSame could have made, who have great looks and voices.

Lisa Loeb for instance??

I kept out of the runup because my opinion doesn’t matter. I happened to read about Palin just recently and was very impressed.

The ‘under investigation’ that RBB mentioned is one of the reasons I liked her, fire that guys 11 year old tasering ass. You didn’t include enough context to get across the nuances, RBB.

Sarah and Todd Palin have five children: boys Track, 19, and Trig, 4 months, and daughters Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 7. Palin had kept her pregnancy with Trig a secret as she worked in the governor’s mansion, confirming only weeks before the birth that she was going to have a son who she knew would have Down syndrome. She returned to work in April three days after giving birth.

You’ve got to question the judgment of someone who names their boys “Track” and “Trig”. I sort of like the girls’ names though.

Sad that she had to go back to work so quickly after giving birth to her son with down syndrome.

Where is she on Amnesty?

On national defense?

On Global (cough-cough blowjob! cough) Warming?

Second Amendment?

Palin will de-fang Biden in a debate. He can’t afford to even slightly appear to be condescending or vicious. Millions of angry, upset women will be watching.

Palin introduces the shield of ‘gender’ in exactly the same way that Obama uses the shield of race.

Brilliant move on McCain’s part!

You’ve got to question the judgment of someone who names their boys “Track” and “Trig”. I sort of like the girls’ names though.

There must be a lot of hippies in Alaska.

Palin introduces the shield of ‘gender’ in exactly the same way that Obama uses the shield of race.

Brilliant move on McCain’s part!

All true. I would have preferred that he would have run on strong conservative principles instead of using identity politics, but she’s a good conservative, which is even more important to me.

On a side note, McStumble is a good guy, but he is really looking pathetic giving his speech on his Veep pick, even if he reading off his script.

So not only does H want to discriminate against age, he is also a sexist.

She was a PTA mom, before she was mayor. That was her credential for taking on that job.

And Hillary was a much smarter choice for Veep than Sarah, because she had more experience. Hell, even Fox said she lacked foreign policy experience.

It is not sexist to point out that was a PTA mom. Her voice is screechy and doesn’t come across a leader, just a really good PTA mom. Sorry that’s my opinion.

OK, 108, here’s the deal!

I vote for McCain.

You vote for Palin… and hope that John develops a bad cough…

Does that sound like a plan?

I agree. Excellent choice.

Provide your link.

What link? A link that proves she has no foreign policy experience or the link that proves McCain was criticizing Obama for lacking foreign policy experience?

Do you really need it? You really don’t know?

Sarah just said some interesting things:

“It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary Clinton left 18,000,000.00 cracks in the hightest hardest glass ceiling in America, but it turns out that women of America aren’t finished yet and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all”

Just as I said, a cheap triangulated decision to steal the election by betraying principle.

Then she finished with:

“I thank you and “I” God bless you, I say, and God bless America “.

Oh, now they have their Messiah who can personally bestow upon me the blessings of God. She is the one!

ANWR, baby, ANWR!!!

WOW, THIS JUST WON THE ELECTION FOR McCAIN! a 90% approval rating as the Alaska Governor

WooHoo…600,000 people like her!!! WooHoo!!!

More brownies Mr. Ahmadinejad?

That’s Obama’s line. Sarah hunts moose. You have nothing but character assassination, as usual, rbb. Pathetic.

Palin will de-fang Biden in a debate. He can’t afford to even slightly appear to be condescending or vicious. Millions of angry, upset women will be watching.

Palin introduces the shield of ‘gender’ in exactly the same way that Obama uses the shield of race.

Nonsense.

It’s big girl panty time now. If she can’t take a few shots from Joe Biden how can we have any confidence in her on the world stage?

More brownies Mr. Ahmadinejad?

Did I mention that her son is deploying to Iraq? Did you all hear her say that as the mother of a soldier, she wants McCain as his Commander-in-Chief?

This is soooo cool!

Not only is she pro-life, her own experience bears out her convictions.

This lady is the real deal folks.

Go home O, it’s over.

Just watched her speech today at
http://www.breitbart.tv/html/163813.html

Gotta say… her delivery was disappointing. I’m sure she’ll get better over the next couple of months, but this performance was poor. I thought it made her seem more like a “hockey mom” and less like a national leader.

Nonsense

Time will tell….

To be fair H, she was a mayor and she is a gov.

Fly,

Those aren’t complaints, those are jabs.

This is a complaint:

McSame was lamenting about the lack of foreign policy experience Obama had and then picks a Veep with zero.

Why don’t you comment on that?

McSame was lamenting about the lack of foreign policy experience Obama had and then picks a Veep with zero.

I can comment but the question is odd to me. You could argue that McLame (my preference because he’s not the same as Bush) and Biden have a kind of foreign policy experience. However, I’m not really sure it’s applicable and I’m more interested in their stance.

I also care less about the experience of the VP on the assumption it fills gaps in the Pres.

For you folks who aren’t as dumb as Hannitized, Palin is the Governor of Alaska and Commander of the Alaska National Guard. She is more qualified than Barack!!

Hannitized reveals what’s under the skin of every liberal: Bias that suits the occassion.

“Screechy voice”, “PTA mom”…. in other words, a FEMALE!

Hahahahahaha!

“Oh, hypocrite… heal thyself!”

This is Wifey, posting for my Hubby, 2H9. He called from work and told me to tell you that this is the one thing that would make him inclined to vote for McCain. I’m inclined to agree with him, though I probably would have voted for McCain anyway, though in a half-hearted kind of way. This just makes it easier!

2H9 wanted to be among the top comments, but I guess I’m too late. Oh well. I’m sure he’ll have more to say later when he gets home.

the link that proves McCain was criticizing Obama for lacking foreign policy experience?

Yeah, that one. I heard a lot about his empty resume and therefore lack of experience. I heard a lot less about his lack of foreign policy experience, although it is worth noting. I don’t deny Sarah will have to answer for this as well, just that after hearing over the past few minutes her resume, Obama still is outdone on the experience issue.

but she might not have leadership qualities.

I guess you missed her speech. She oozes leadership.

You lied when you attributed the quote to me. I didn’t say it, no matter how much you try to lie about it.

You endorsed the statement, that is the same as saying it. No matter how hard you spin, you owned the statement.

Congratulations Robert!

she said that “if Obama was a white man, he wouldn’t even be considered for President”. She was right. – Robert

Did I mention that Biden’s son is deploying to Iraq? Did you all hear him say that as the father of a soldier, he wants Obama as his Commander-in-Chief?

No, this is the first I heard of it. But why is Biden allowing his son to join something his running mate says is all wrong?

H,

All republican votes cast by women for McCain/Palin will be because they support the candidates. It is some of the democratic voters who will vote for McCain in protest and because a woman is on the ticket.

pp: This is the first real move McCain has made in the right direction; let’s hope he makes a lot more of them.

No leftie ahould be trusted with foreign policy anyway. We don’t need “experience” in bowing down to the terrorists. We already got the results of leftie foreign policy with Clinton.
A useless war(Kosovo, and we’re still there), major terrorist attacks against us(WTC ’93, etc) and finally 9/11, whose foundation was laid during the Clinton administration, and the growth of AQ. I don’t want that kind of “experience” in the White House. Not to mention Carter losing Iran and the Panama Canal.

Gotta say… her delivery was disappointing. I’m sure she’ll get better over the next couple of months, but this performance was poor. I thought it made her seem more like a “hockey mom” and less like a national leader.

Yes, she’s a real person, not a slick huckster. That’s a positive, along with the substance of her message. Only lefties think style trumps substance.

It would be interesting to know how many first time donations are coming in to the McCain campaign because of Sarah Palin?

Listening to baseball games on the radio for 20 years doesn’t qualify one to coach or manage a team.

You don;t manage teams when dealing with foreign leaders, you negotiate with them.

This is the major problems with Republicans vs. Democrats. We prefer to lead by the power of our example not the example of our power.

Listening to baseball games for 20 years would give you the experience to know more than most and to understand everything that is happening while it is being discussed, instead of trying to figure it out afterwards.

Geraldine Ferraro could have made it to the top had she not been a Democrat. I’ll be interested to see what Donna Brazille and Susan Estrich, both prominent and knowledgeable Democrats, have to say in a few weeks.

They will say what we already know. That she may be experienced and possibly talented, but is on the wrong side of the economic plan, the right to choose and she stands with McSame on virtually every stance.

For the same reasons you think Ferraro didn’t make it to the top is the reason why Sarah won’t get Hillary votes.

Style over substance; typical leftie. She has executive experience, Obambi doesn’t; she’s a real American, Obambi’s a black separatist/Marxist subversive.- Robert

Another cherry-pick lie from you.

if Obama was a white man, he wouldn’t even be considered for President. Quote from Geraldine Ferraro. – Robert

And another cherry-pick lie from you.

If you have to lie to make a point, doesn’t that tell you something?

Sarah is a full on anti-abortionist.

Thank God! She doesn’t support the Dem abortion holocaust.

If your point is to argue that Biden may have experience but accomplished nothing you have answered your own question.

No, sir! My point is that sitting on a Senate Committee isn’t a particularly substantive experience to begin with. Listening to baseball games on the radio for 20 years doesn’t qualify one to coach or manage a team.

Who knows what this Veep pick will do when she is in office?

Depends. If McCain and the Republicans treat her as talented protege in those areas where she is less experienced, and take advantage of her experiences and talents in other public policy areas, she could conceivably tip her hat rhetorically at Hillary while coming the first woman elected President of the US. If she proves to be not up to the challenge then she won’t. Geraldine Ferraro could have made it to the top had she not been a Democrat. I’ll be interested to see what Donna Brazille and Susan Estrich, both prominent and knowledgeable Democrats, have to say in a few weeks.

I for one am grateful.

Considering the source, that’s a real ringing endorsement!

In a sense, Obama left himself and the Democrats wide open for this selection by not choosing Hillary for his VP. For all the males clinging to their guns in fly-over country, She’s a lifetime NRA member and a devout outdoor sportswoman. For the conservatives with whom McCain has a sometimes uneasy truce, she is fiercely anti-abortion and a responsible fiscal conservative.

Are you saying that he would not have picked her if Hillary would have been chosen?

Rbb,

Palin is responsible for cleaning house in Alaska including some republicans. She has taken on corruption in Alaska and boasts and 80% approval rating for doing so. As much as you love to post about corrupt politicians, especially republicans, you ought to love Palin, she is a true reformer.

Any attractive woman who can handle a flyrod and a shotgun has definitely got my attention. That she is also a fiscal and social conservative who favors drilling for more domestically produced oil and natural gas only strengthens her credentials

GREAT VP CHOICE! ALL ABOARD! The Stop Obama Express. A great site for Anti-Obama Fun, videos, pictures, quotes and more. Check it out at http://www.StopObamaExpress.com

They can’t break wind without taking a poll first.

R108,

Sure they can. Then they blame it on the rich white guy, global warming, Big Oil, and an unfair tax code!

That’s what lefties do; real Americans use our power to our advantage. Why give up the advantage we’ve worked for?

And that is why they attacked us on 9/11 and why they continue to plan to kill us. You dope!

More of the same from you and McCain…..we need a change of thinking in the White House.

My husband and I are finally excited about the election. Sarah Palin is a very smart choice and will have a positive impact on every front of the campaign.

Hey Bullshinkle,

I am not going to let you contaminate this discussion. I responded over at the link you provided.

I would recommend you look up the word liar before you use it in a sentence.

I can’t help but laugh at the leftie who commented on Sarah’s voice; compared to Hillary’s “fingernails on the blackboard” tone, Sarah sounds like a songbird. Hillary’s more like a crow.

Still, why not someone who knows what to do with the football when it gets tossed to them on a lateral?

How about basketball, zig? I believe she was a star point guard, you know the position that has to make the play decisions for the team.

you attributed a Geraldine Ferraro quote to me, and then tried to rationalize it

Umm…yeah, when you say someone is right, you are saying you agree with them. How beyond dumb can you be?

she said that “if Obama was a white man, he wouldn’t even be considered for President”. She was right. – Robert

Heh!

Nice to see han, rbb and other trolls frothing from the mouth. Bladder all you want, yawl going to get your asses handed to you in November.

A glib statement to be sure, but totally lacking in any sort of practical application and hopelessly – dangerously – naive as well.

Yet, because of our example we have Russia invading Georgia and we wonder why? We have had N. Korea rush towards being a Nuclear power since Bush’s pet war and we wonder why? The Republicans believe Iran is racing to be a Nuclear power and we wonder why?

Because they know if you have Nukes, you have power and you can do shit others cant. Yet if we hadn’t invaded Iraq for the reasons we claimed, we could actually have a leg to stand on to criticize Russia.

Now both Iran and DKRP feel they can flex their muscles with the power they are trying to gain.

That may be a fine sentiment when addressing the local Unitarians for UNICEF luncheon, but it is also the sort of stupid shit that gets people killed when confronted by a serious threat… whether its a mugging on the street or an Islamist bomber.

Right, because we say how all the terrorists ran TO Iraq when we invaded it. They were so afraid of our military might, that the RAN TO Iraq to fight us.

What were you saying again???

Sarah, please do not even think of resigning. As a family, together we too went through a young unwed daughter’s pregnancy, in love, we stood by her without qualms or regrets.

Wife and I are voting republican for one reason only this election, (had given up on McCain) because we believe in you. So please, we have waited too long for you, do not forsake America in our time of need.

“”

At a flag factory in Virginia, talking about millions of American flags made in China, McCain promised:

“If we find that China manufactured and sold us these millions of American flags intentionally and for the purpose of tainting our great country in any way, we might have no other option than to bomb these Chinese flag production sites and trade routes, their business associates, and their friends and family.”

“If an American flag and a baby were on fire, you have my solemn word I wouldn’t think of coming to that baby’s aid until every last ember was extinguished from Old Glory. My friends, babies of course come and go, but our forefathers fought and died to preserve that flag, and” – pounding the podium – “I will not stand by while the Chinese sell millions of them to us through their handiwork and our mutual trade deals.”

Puzzle, I must have missed your link. Care to post it?

Yep, she was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it. More of McSame.

The best you got is to borrow language from your own party’s nominee?

Yeah Proof, thanks.

That’s actually one of the first things I found out about her.

The first is, of course, STOI-oi-oi-ionngggg!

Still, why not someone who knows what to do with the football when it gets tossed to them on a lateral?

MC isn’t getting any younger.

Good Job Sen. McCain, I’ve been rooting for her for a long time. Liberals have rallied around a vacuous, radical leftist who follows the mantra of the far left wing. Answer me this…why doesn’t Obama talk about all his accomplishments? The only message he has to sell is what he ‘wants’ to accomplish…not what he has. Rev Wright and Bill Ayers??? No wonder why he’s scared of his past.

2006 Alaskan gubernatorial popular vote count:

Palin – 114,697 – 48.3%

Knowles – 97,238 – 40.9%

Sarah, please do not even think of resigning. As a family, together we too went through a young unwed daughter’s pregnancy, in love, we stood by her without qualms or regrets.

What is the “Democrat Band”???

Han-Job: Please forgive me for making an allusion to a cultural reference. (I know you don’t get out of your Mom’s basement much.)

Obama has been referred to as a “rock star“. Google “Obama rock star” and you get:

Results 1 – 10 of about 2,590,000 for Obama rock star.

Now, stay with me here, this is where it gets tricky: Rock stars often (not always, so don’t call me a liar again!), but often have “bands“. (We sometimes call them “rock bands” – you can Google it!) So when I said:

On the other hand, Sarah Palin has years of executive experience neither of the boys in the Democrat band have!

I was referring to their rock star-like celebrity.

Is that clear enough? Do I need to use smaller words?

Yes

Poof,

What is the “Democrat Band”??? Please learn me.

Good Choice, being a Gov is better experience for Whitehouse than Senator. Now if we can get a movement started to limit congress and senate terms to 2 so our officials can be tied to the people and not to a party we will be all set.

Nice pick. She seems well grounded.

Oh, btw PP….Sarah introduced herself as your “average Hockey Mom”.

You are better than trying to trap people on non-issues. Get back to debate, you used to be good at it. But to be fair, you do make good points once in a blue moon. Was that funny?

“her” and “she” actually has a name, Governor Palin.

Hannitized can’t help himself – it’s a liberal thing.

Which Liberals are you referring to?

Well, we could start with those who love to picture Condi Rice as Aunt Jemima. We could look at the misogynistic Buzz calling Sarah Palin a “cunt”.
The Libs are not exactly covering themselves with glory here, Oswaldo!

If McCain should suffer a stroke (God forbid), do you think she is really capable of running our country?

More so than Barack Hussein O’Blurry! She has more executive experience and she has not had to hide any of her past associations with shady land deals, hate-spewing pastors or domestic terrorists.

If O’Blurry wins the election (God forbid), do you think he is really capable of running our country into the ground? I do.

My first response was the same as when the Chargers went for 2 and beat the Seahawks Monday, I threw my hands in the air and startled my wife with a resounding “YES!”. Then I thought about it a little more and discovered a few concerns.

First, is it good for Sarah and conservatism to be on a ballot with McCain?
Second, Sarah’s political experience is less than Obama’s.

I’m sure these questions will be answered shortly, but these were my second impressions.

B1, this is definitely the fastest thread I have seen, possibly ever, anywhere. And that includes Steeler threads.

I would say this qualifies as excitement. Something I had formerly not attributed to the McCain campaign.

Another quote:

If it’s Palin, I will put blood and sweat into campaigning for that team.

If McCain’s people are slick about it, they can take over a lot of the pro-Hillary activists en masse.

It’s a great day to not be an Obama supporter.

NObama – No Way – KNOW McCAIN!

Q. Obama agrees with Sen. Clinton on most issues. Why not vote for him?
A. If agreeing with Sen. Clinton is all that is required then there would be 18 million of us running for president.

Q. What about Roe v. Wade?
A. The DNC backhands women and then dangles Roe v. Wade over their head… not working!

Q. Don’t TRUE Dems vote Dem ?
A. TRUE Americans don’t belong to racist churches for 20 years. I will not reward this!

Q for DNC men: Why don’t these women get back in the kitchen and cook us up some good vittles? And WHERE THE HELL IS THAT COLD BEER???

I saw the Photo Op of her firing an assault rifle. Obviously her first time. She doesn’t know how to hold it.

And yet, she didn’t wet her pants and run screaming from the room as Obama or Biden would have! Heh.

Sarah, please do not even think of resigning. As a family, together we too went through a young unwed daughter’s pregnancy, in love, we stood by her without qualms or regrets.

Wife and I are voting republican for one reason only this election, (had given up on McCain) because we believe in you. So please, we have waited too long for you, do not forsake America in our time of need.

Where is she on … (the)Second Amendment?

Move_Zig: Sorry it took me so long to get back to your question! (Work is the curse of the drinking man!)
Sarah Palin is, like yours truly, a Life Member of the NRA.
I therefore suspect you will be pleasantly surprised at her support for the Second (as well as the other nine) Amendment!

Flipper’s age will now certainly be an issue on voter’s minds. Face it, John is old.
3 years ago Palin was the mayor of Wasilla (pop. 5469).
Is she a good choice for second in line for Commander and Chief?

Turn that around dwarf. Palin has a thicker résumé and better track record than O’Blurry. And Biden is OLD. Is he a good choice for second in line for Commander-in-Chief?

I saw the Photo Op of her firing an assault rifle. Obviously her first time. She doesn’t know how to hold it.

Yes; she said that if Obama was a white man, he wouldn’t even be considered for President. She was right.

When has being a black man ever been beneficial when running for national office?

When Obama wins, it will be because he is remarkable. A remarkable orator, a remarkable worker and a remarkable man.

Possibly the most revealing statement H has ever made.

It was referencing the word child PP.

What you are doing doesn’t phase me in the least. You keep trying to lash out at me. I don’t care what you try to do because I know you are just acting out in desperation and retaliation. That is ok, you are what you are.

I am typing fast, as demonstrated by all my typos, and don’t have the time to use the exact wording I should PP.

Unlike you, I am willing to admit where I may say things wrong. Why do you still defend your position that minorities will vote for Obama, because he is one?

You insult the intellect of all minorities who would vote for him because they believe his ideas represent their interests.

Every time some Dem points to Palin’s inexperience at the bottom of the ticket, it points out the inexperience at the top of the Dem ticket.

One of the talking points is “a heartbeat away from the Presidency”. God forbid, but there’s less than a heartbeat separating us from that inexperience should Obama’s empty suit hang in the Oval Office!

The Democrat “band”?

Every time Poof opens his mouth, I smile. He just keep popping out the hits. Nobody is as good as making non points or irrelevant statements as Poofy.

Bottom Line……..
This is going to put a “lot” of Women on board.
Severely limits Obama’s “Romance” factor..

If you have a wife, girlfriend, or girl friends, you should know what I’m saying here..

Yes, boob, she won. We know that already.

Fly, you can say that again!!

Yep, she was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it. More of McSame.

Just a side note to everyone:

In all the years I’ve been posting here at SAB, I don’t think I have ever seen a thread fill up so quickly as this one. I took an hour and a half off to take my Dad to lunch and when I got back to my desk we were over 130 comments already.

If this is any indication, McCain’s choice of Palin is nothing less than inspired.

Dems don’t lead; they follow. They can’t break wind without taking a poll first. Pathetic.

As far as her foreign policy experience is concerned, the Constitution and the Founding Principles are good for both foreign and domestic policy.

This is the major problems with Republicans vs. Democrats. We prefer to lead by the power of our example not the example of our power.

A glib statement to be sure, but totally lacking in any sort of practical application and hopelessly – dangerously – naive as well. That may be a fine sentiment when addressing the local Unitarians for UNICEF luncheon, but it is also the sort of stupid shit that gets people killed when confronted by a serious threat… whether its a mugging on the street or an Islamist bomber.

…That she may be experienced and possibly talented, but is on the wrong side of the economic plan, the right to choose and she stands with McSame on virtually every stance.

Gee… does this mean you are finally prepared to discuss the two competing sets of economic and tax policy proposals? You’ve been ill-at-ease and timorous every time I’ve brought up the subject in the past. Are you sure you want to try and defend raising taxes?

You don;t manage teams when dealing with foreign leaders, you negotiate with them.

That’s what lefties do; real Americans use our power to our advantage. Why give up the advantage we’ve worked for? That’s just insane. The fact the dictators and slaveowners of the UN hate us is evidence that we are doing the right thing.
Lefties are pussies.

You endorsed the statement, that is the same as saying it. No matter how hard you spin, you owned the statement.

What she said was right, so of course I endorse it; I just didn’t say it, so you lied about that.
You endorsed her as a strong voice, so you own everything she says, by your own logic. Take responsibility for your bullshit, boy!

PP,

Are you really so unhinged as to consider the words “she” and “her”, as sexist? Really?

I loved her speech! She is the boost that the Republican Party has been waiting for.

McSame was lamenting about the lack of foreign policy experience Obama had and then picks a Veep with zero.

Provide your link.

The experience card will play out. Exactly how remains to be seen. Historically consevatives kick but on foreign policy, and liberals have been weak.

Bat, you just answered your own question.

You ask me to cite experience, then talk about results? If your point is to argue that Biden may have experience but accomplished nothing you have answered your own question.

Who knows what this Veep pick will do when she is in office?

rbb: Or did that bridge fall down under Kennedy?

One thing’s for sure: Sarah Palin is making leftie heads explode! You go, girl!

She sure has no problem being a celebrity.

Sarah is a perfect fit for McCain’s campaign promises regarding reforming Washington. So much for Bush’s third term.

Morr, I was going to use the pic you just changed your avatar to…she was/is quite the looker, no doubt about that.

Does that sound like a plan?

Like I said before, I hope she schools him on being conservative. We’ll see. If this pick is just political maneuvering on his part, not so good, but if he is really ready to go in a conservative direction(for real), I might reconsider. Depends on the reality.

A suburban mother and PTA member who described her fisherman husband as a proud union member…

Palin said the “most disturbing” was a phone call Frank Bailey, the governor’s director of boards and commissions, made to trooper Lt. Rodney Dial in February. The Public Safety Department recorded the call, as it does routinely.

Palin, who said she’d only just learned of the call, released a recorded copy of it to the press on Wednesday. In it, Bailey clearly pressures the lieutenant.

Union thug/GOP princess. Uh huh.

Dern. She’s a looker.
