John McCain has chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate

Homebiz, I'm sorry, but c'mon. Here's what you wrote:

-No proof he was a "heavy" user;
-He didn't use crack;
-Nothing beyond unfounded rumor this guy is a homosexual, who was in a tryst with Larry Sinclair. who also did drugs with Larry Sinclair (who also offed a guy in a conspiracy with his luva, Larry Sinclair, as it's been averred on this forum).

If you don't mean it, may I suggest you don't write it? If you do mean it, can you provide proof for these kinds of allegations?

It's this kind of thing that insults all of us, yourself included, in my opinion. It's been on this forum in spades, for months, and it really serves nothing, also, of course, in my opinion.

You lost me as usual with your reply. By me saying one side is not going to smear due to their own pitfalls I get this long winded diatribe.

I don't care that both sides smoked, snorted or pants feel down. The dems will not bring up the VP Past state trooper issues. They will attack her on economic policy.

A Google search can provide mud on both sides.

 

I would have thought it's pretty commonsense, Homebiz. You said the dems wouldn't dare "fling mud," because of the crack addict, homosexual "skeletons" on Obama.

"Pitfalls" are "pitfalls" ONLY IF THEY EXIST IN REALITY. These are "smears," not "skeletons." They are horseshit, and attempting to pass them off as bona fide realities is further horseshit, in my opinion, of course.

You know, I spent months of useless time debunking this kind of crap before, posted mainly by a member who in the same breath he indicates he has certain knowledge Obama is an Islamic terrorist plant, or is a homosexual who conspired to kill a man in a triangle gone wrong, excoriates the "truthers" for believing in their conspiracy theories. I won't any longer. If you wish to spend your time posting:

Knock yourself out. None of my business, actually.

 

I have never posted that Obama is an Islamic terrorist plant, or is a homosexual who conspired to kill a man in a triangle gone wrong,


I have not said that at all.

I said Obama was a great speaker and that he will not sling mud at Palin.

 

I never said you did. I said another poster did, and with your post in this thread:

I said, you continue in the fine tradition.

I also said, none of my damn business. If this is what you wish to do, again, your business.

 

Absolute nonsense.

So you're saying that being the major of a town of 7,000 people is more experience than being Senator? Are you seriously saying that? People are just not going to buy that. Her "experience" as a mayor of a tiny town is not going to help her case at all. If anything it just makes how glaringly unqualified she is to be on this ticket all that much more obvious.

She is the most unqualified ridiculous VP pick in the history of the United States. She is such a bad pick that John McCain's judgment has to be called into serious question. It's clear that he didn't put his country first with this choice.

 

Jim:

I'm glad we have a commentator from Alaska here, as it is both small in population and remote and doesn't generate a lot of news either in MSM or other sources in the lower 48.

Meanwhile, since both Palin and Obama were basketball players in their youth, they ought to be running on the same ticket....and call it the Dream/Redeem team.

Man, picking her is a real real dark horse. It will create a lot of interesting comments on many topics as her bio is damn unique.

 

I think you might be missing the point about experience. Yeah, Obama was elected as a state and US senator, but senators do not have responsibility for managing anything, plus he has no accomplishments to show for either position. He hasn't done anything but filled a space.

Any level of research will tell you that Palin has accomplished far more than Obama in her short career. She is a leader. Obama has zip, zero, zilch experience as a leader. The only thing he has accomplished thus far is self-promotion.

Palin is one the the most popular governors in the country in terms of her home state poll numbers. In today's political climate, that isn't easy to accomplish anywhere. You have to be a doer, not a talker. She is a doer and a political maverick. That makes her a good partner for McCain. I don't really care very much for McCain, but I really like what I've heard from and about Palin thus far.

The scariest thing I see about Obama is his far left-wing extremist socialist views, which he has successfully downplayed while on the campaign trail. He has, however, publicly stated that he is NOT a moderate; he is a Progressive. Progressive is just a code word for extreme leftist.

 

Yes it’s possible. I am amazed at the decision to pick palin. She will bring the economy into check with her economic plan that will stimulate the economy in all 59 states.

 

She's hot. This is a ticket I can get excited about.

 

The way I see it this is a VP choice designed to be a publicity stunt.

Only in US...

 

Obama sat in Congress and did nothing notable with his seat. If anything his time in the Senate has been filled with questionable practices. Palin on the other hand has actually done notable things in her time as govenor.

 

You are dead on with your assessment. Palin is the real deal....the hope we need.

 

I love how people are comparing the person running for president versus the person being chosen for VP on the other side. Wouldn't a fair assessment be that of VP to VP, na lets not do that.

 

Nice point but people are trying to make connections that are hardly existant.
Biden vs Palin...I wonder who is the better person.

 

I like Palin better than anyone that ran for President this past year.

 

i do not know if she is qualified or not but if experience is a trump card then i do not see how she is qualified.
my problem is with the old man.
he has been talking about experience being important. and he goes and selects her for political advantage. so is he taking politics over the country? or there is no republican better than her.
whats up with that. lool

 

She is the only experienced leader of the final four. I bet that the female Clinton is furious.

 

I LoL'ed

Let's face it, McCain is gonna die within the next 4 years....

I knew the republicans were gonna come out with that weak Governor is more like being president argument. Can you imagine a Governor being a heartbeat away from being president in a time where nearly ALL of our problems are international?

• How the heck is the Governor of Alaska going to talk handle international negotiations and affairs WAY out of her league when less than 2 years ago she was a friggin mayor of a "city" of 8,000?
• What the heck would a small town mayor and a Governor do about Russia as president?
• How is she going to handle it when she trys to sit down and speak to (some) middle eastern nations that think she doesn't even have the right to speak to them because she's a woman?
• Someone who was a mayor less than 2 years ago is going to be commander in chief of the mightiest military on earth?

I can think of quite a few more national/international situations that could arise that a Governor would be ill equipped to handle but you get the point.

Anyone with a shred of intellect knows this was McCains feable attempt to dive at the opening Obama left when he didn't pick Hillary for VP. As has been the case this entire general election so far, McCain is nipping at Obama's table scraps and being reactionary/too late as usual.

Think about it.... This election never really has been about McCain at all. It's about whether the American people want to vote for Obama or not. McCain knows this. That's why nearly all his ads are attack ads....

And to top it all off he just threw his "experience" card in the trash.... Thanks insane McCain.
