McCain Running Mate

[KenP]

Looks like it's Gov. Palin.

Two jets from Anchorage landed just outside Dayton and the passengers were picked up by several minivans and whisked away.

One of the jets was in Sedona last night, where McCain lives.

Palin hasn't been seen since yesterday.

Young, good looking woman, sports star, broadcaster. Interesting selection.

Fox News has called it, CNN is complaining about the silent treatment they've recieved for weeks.:giggling:

[KenP]

Confirmed officially and exclusively to FOX.

Surprised the "Political World".

[LR wolf]

Other than being really transparent,
dont you think alot of republicans will be pissed he picked a woman?

[BKLYNH2]

Politics (leadership)is really going down the sh!tter isn't it.

A former sports reporter? Not a very long political career in one of the least populous states in the country.
Is that someone qualified to be one step from the presidency?

I'm just going to write in Jillian Barberie (Fox NFL weather girl) at least she's better to look at. :confused:

Haha!!! The dems can't knock her experience. She's got more than obama!:clapping:

A Maverick picked a Maverick.

So much for a huge Convention bump for obama.

[HummerHippy]

Some how the name Geraldine Ferraro comes to mind. :clapping:

Who just got in trouble up there? A senetor?

[KenP]

Some how the name Geraldine Ferraro comes to mind. :clapping:Ferraro is "very pleased" McCain reached out to a woman. Her own words.

Ferraro said obama's team, and the media treated hillary very badly and this may be very persuasive for hillary's supporters to cross over to McCain.

[LR wolf]

I like the guy but,
since when is McCain considered A Maverick????

[KenP]

I like the guy but,

[BKLYNH2]

I thought James Garner was the Maverick?


There can be only one.

[2-H2's]

Gun toten, fish'n, son in US Army, five kids...


Excellent choice:clapping:

[KenP]

There can be only one.You've got to love her, she's a Hockey Mom.:)

Our mailman just dropped some packages off and was beaming! "Did you hear her speach?! She's great! blah, blah, blah..." It's the happiest I've ever seen a mailman.:clapping:

OMGhai2u.

[BKLYNH2]

I'm sure she's a great Hockey mom, maybe she would make a good prime minister of Canada. (didn't she push for some oil pipeline through their country instead of Alaska anyway?)
but as I said. As governor of Alaska she's accountable to less people than the borough president of Brooklyn, NY. While she may have more political experience than some other candidate, I don't fancy either I don't think she's ready to be one step from the presidency. Unfortunately she's just a token to get McCain elected, because politics isn't about leadership anymore.:(

I'll bet if RYD packed up the airstream tomorrow, took a leisurely drive to Fairbanks and declared he was interested in running for office, that he would be elected to something in Alaska, by November! :popcorn:

[KenP]

Obama lowered the requirements to be president.

He has NO executive experience, just legislative. He's never led anything.

Palin has executive experience, it's not much, but it's tons more than obama.

How long has he held elective office? She's been elected 3 times and has a 90% approval rating.:clapping:

My friend, don't mess with me...I'm the next Sec of Transportation under McCain !!!!!!!!!!!

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Shes a good choice, not excellent but good............

I feel she will bring over a LOT of WOMEN Voters from the Dems...

Its possible now, that McCain will win by a landslide........!!!!!!!!!

Smart move picking Sara Palin...

PTA president emeritas and former beauty queen.
Former Mayor of her home town. Not a bad girl.
Popular Governor of a State and a mother of 5...

-She has cleaned house in Alaska removing many a corrupt good old boy from the system.
-Her record is clean which is rare today
-A card carrying member of the NRA
-Pro Life which is also rare and refreshing for a female candidate.

Not too shabby and certainly a bold move for John McCain...

Should make for a interesting race!:drama:

[RuggedH2]

I spent a few hours this morning looking into this lady's positions on the issues. In the process..... I think I fell in love with her.

She's pro-drilling, pro-gun, pro outdoor recreation (hunting, fishing, OHV's, etc.) pro-national defense, not an environmental extremist, she is intelligent, ethical, and easy on the eyes.

She ran for Governor as a successful American, a political outsider.

Her positions on the issues match my own. She is the conservative that McCain needed to shore up the base.

I like her better than McCain.

[Karsun]

I'll admit that I'm no expert on political things but I think he made a great move and is in it to win it. It was unexpected, it shook things up and he picked a woman when so many Hillary supporters wanted her nomination or Veep status. I think Obama could have possibly won if he'd picked Hillary as a running mate but instead, he split the votes. Now, she might not be Hillary but you can't call him non-innovative and he's obviously very clever.

[rck0025]

I was hoping for Lieberman or Kay Bailey. Just my 2 cents. Although, she is prettier than Lieberman.

[Big Dad]

His decision is a win-win for Alaska and empowering women.

LOL, I've seen that bumper sticker out here, too. I see the humor in it .. I'm a vegetarian. Poor hunter, by choice. Palin, on the other hand, is a member of the NRA. She's still a good choice for VP in my book, though. :D

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

She seems good, not excellent but good...

Wish she had a few more years experience in big government but shes hats down over Obama...

I feel she and McCain may just pull this off. (gosh i hope)

[Mr_Pat]

OK bit what if John McCain drops dead a week after taken office, what qualifies Palin to be President?

[Big Dad]

Ok I'll bite, except no one dies, I have to ask myself, what qualifies Obama to be President?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

OK bit what if John McCain drops dead a week after taken office, what qualifies Palin to be President?

WHAT, WHO , WHERE , WHY AND WHEN

IS

Obama qualified to be President of the United Satates of America while alive...or dead

unless

your suggestion that BIG MOUTH JOE is planning something !!!

Let me explain something:

EVERYTHING HAS PRIORITIES, so if you list the major problems existing in the USA & the world today they include the following (i'm sure i'll miss a few but not intentionally)

1. National Security
2. Gun Control
3. Equal Employment
4. Roe vs Wade
5. Cuba
6. Russia
7. Arab Terrorist
8. Hurricanes
9. Minimum Wage
10. Taxes
11. Venezuela
12. Oil, Gas, Energy
13. Government Controls
14. Social Security
15. Retirement
16. Health Care

etc etc

NEXT
YOU put them in order of priority for yourself and assign them a priority percentage which totals 100 %

I'll show you mine: (a few in order of my priority

45% National Security not Obama
15% Arab Terrorist not Obama
5% Gun Control Obama would take away you toy gun
5% Social Security more taxes by Obama
5% Russia Obama would hold hands & Talk
5% Oil, Gas, Energy Lets buy more foreign oil says Obama
5% Government Controls Obama is for lots of controls
5% Retirement More taxes by Obama
5% Health Care More taxes by Obama
5% Taxes More & more by Obama

NOW ITS YOUR TURN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin is a great choice for VP...

-Party Reformer
-Western Republican
-Pro Gun & Freedom
-Pro Life
-Proven Administrator and Govererner 16 years experience
-Multi tasker, raising 5 brats while doing it all with a sno mo husband...

More interesting then (more of the same) Joe Beiden for sure.

[3Hummer]

dont forget one of her children has down sydrome as well, so she greatly appeals to a lot of the disabled families. While i dont necessarily agree with two or her major standings (dont wanna list it to cause a whole stir) i think she is hands down a better for vp than biden, and would be a better president than obama.
And as for the d McCain dying in office, he would not be the oldest president to ever be inagurated, the oldest was Ronald Reagan at age 73 years and 350 days old where as when McCain is inagurated he would be 72 years and 144 days. He would be the oldest to the ascension of the presidency but not the oldest to be inagurated.

[KenP]

Sorry RYD, these needed to be merged since they were becoming the samething.:)

[KenP]

OK bit what if John McCain drops dead a week after taken office, what qualifies Palin to be President?As Big Dad questioned, what qualifies obama?

Palin has more Executive experience than ANYONE else running.

The "experience" arguement is going to doom obama.:clapping:

obama had what, a hundred days of real work before beginning his campaign for the presidency?

Executives make decisions everyday that matter.

[frenzy1]

:yawn:

[HUMMERcustoms.com/TAZ]

I would risk to say that Palin has bigger balls than 99.9% of all Demo men in gov. or not. She has proven that there is no learning curve to steep for her to pick up and learn. If McCain is wise and picks cabinet members, of some I feel he will choose, along with Palin's impute (which I read someplace is McCain's very ention is to include her from the get go) Palin will have all the advisors from which to make intelligent decisions if that should fall to her in an untimely manner. McCain is also going to be grooming Palin to beat down Hillary in 2012. Any leader that is willing to fire a brotheren law for corruption and when the board that it needed to go through would not go along Palin fired those people as well untill she ran off the old Republican good ole boy club that was corrupt to the core. Palin will do whatever her country needs her to do even if it means being McCain's attack dog to get all in line.

I can hardly wait for her first dismantling of Biden in a debate. She must be a good debater from teaching days as well as the fights she carried out on the state AK legislative floor. Anyone who underestimates this lady will find themselves castrated and many old dogs learning new tricks. Congress be afraid very afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, also to cover Hussien's experience to run USA He began running for Prez election shortly after winning his senate position. All can see the mental and emotional training Hussien was raised in even though the church he called home was not led in a Protestant manner from what I can see. Hussien has more cracks in his armor than there is enough JB Weld to patch up. If McCain will go after Hussien on just the issues not counting the character flaws it should be a landslide win for the Republicans not only in Prez race but, in the Congressional races also. Prez needs to just forget the goody 2 shoes stuff and realize he is fighting for Our countries power position, fear of USA, and respect in the eyes of the world.

All the experience Hussien Obama has is beginning his Prez campaign not much sooner

I thought this was was interesting:

Democratic nominee Barack Obama received a briefing Sunday from Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. The Illinois Senator pledged to use his vast supporter e-mail list to seek relief for storm victims. He also said he might visit storm-damaged areas once things have "settled down."

Okay, I have the best political cartoon pictured. Something like he's at his desk and you see his computer screen and the e-mail and at the bottom it says something about "now send this to 10 of your friends and Bill Gates will send you $199"

Looks like a loving family.

i have a question for obama, if he wants to distribute welath from the rich to the poor, why didnt he give 2.0 of his 4.0 gpa away to a failing kid so they both could have passed? that would have been fair according to his policy no? instead of one being really good they both could have just passed with 2.0's............i would loooove to see what he would have to say to that
