The Numbers

Palin is Cheney in a beehive
a)Palin governor of Alaska/Cheney executive at Halliburton
b)Alaska untapped regions for oil drilling/Iraq raided for oil interest
c)Palin is good with a gun/Cheney was good with a gun.
d)Cheney convinced Bush that Iraq had WMD/Can Palin convince McCain that polar bears have WMD?
Eight more years of oil burning and the shores of northern Alaska will be a vacation spot.
McCain/Palin = Bush/Cheney
McCain/Palin = WonMoreDisaster

lets not forget, she has been a governor for 2 years, and already has a investigation going on about here abuse of power, and position.
Lets also not forget that alaska is the 47th most populated state in our country. and her so called experience is rather mute.
lets look at her current history of being in some time of office held postion.
PTA-3+years
Mayor-1 year
governor 2 years.
she doesnt being any experience. Zero!
if McCain wins the Election. And later dies. She will become president, and that scares the hell out of me.
was going to vote mccain. but heck no not now!

Its amazing the bashing against Palin...

Obama has NO executive experience, no experience working directly with the military (Palin is Commander and Chief of the National Guard - which commands some of the best units in our military based in Alaska), no real record of reform of any kind, no real voting record that amounts to anything (Hillary Clinton pointed out that most Obama votes in his "years" in service have been present - not yes or no on critical votes), and certainly no experience taking on corruption in his own party.

Obama is a NOOB.....and the dems are calling her the one with no experience????!??? HUHHHH???

I am happy a women is on the ticket. But I'm scared as hell that she doesn't seem to have any of the experience that would qualify her to become president should the 72-year old McCain get sick or die.

She's a big pal of big oil and big business. So that troubles me too.

And this refusal to turn over emails related to an on-going scandal sounds too much like the Bush Administration.

I need to rethink my support for McCain.

McSame just handed the election to Sen. Barack Obama on a silver platter!!! The man must have lost his mind to make this choice. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Nothing to back up claim that "Since McCain has opposed women’s rights, equal pay, laws on domestic violence, right to choose, then isn’t she just a token to get elected?"

I only see blogs that support this statement, not fact.

And Obama has 3 1/2 years of foreign policy????

Who says she has no foreign policy experience? Her state is on the border with Russia---3 miles away at the closest point. She is on the front lines! She has to get up every morning and stare down Putin while Obama and Biden are in line getting their bagels at the Senate cafateria!

Again, Palin has MORE experience than Obama to be President.

She has been a REAL executive in office, she has run a government, at the city level and state level. She has tacked corruption head on in her own party, fought against big oil companies, and cut pork spending. On top of all of this, she has a family and children. She commands the Alaskan National Guard, which contains some of the best units in our country - because they are stationed strategically for our defense in Alaska.

This "fear" or worry that she isnt ready is silly... you should be MORE afraid of Obama - who has NO record of any of the things that I have mentioned. Heck, as many democratic senators have mentioned (errr.. initials HRC and JB) - he has a horrible record voting... in fact he DOESNT vote....

Obama Biden is a scary ticket... lets just cut Obama off and let Biden run... as a 30 year insider of Washington, at least HE has done something..

Interesting. The Conservative base is ecstatic with McCain's choice in Sara Palin. Why is it that the opposition is against his choice? Fear. McCain/Palin are destined to prevail in November. Liberals whine, whine, whine while Conservatives grind-in and get the work done and know our destiny is in our own hands, not government, as Liberals like to.. oh yeah... whine whine whine about.

I really think it was a good choice for Mr. McCain and his has my vote, sorry democrats I was once one of you, but thru this process I think that John McCain is the way to go. Obama his speeches are great but there is no substances for me, I just can not connect with his ideals, and I don't trust him at all.

sorry to say this, i was up in alaska, anyone in the military is pretty darn good. but to focalize the national guard in that light, and since i retired last year from the national guard in alaska. we just do our jobs, and i wouldnt say we are some of the best, nuff said, the base commander up here has more pull then she ever could. and her being governor is a nice accomplishment, but for the 47th ranked state on population, i seriously doubt there were much issues up there besides her ongoing case of her abuse of power. also enough said!

Obama was a STATE senator NOT a US senator and has NO foreign policy exp.

Know the facts! Why do you think he made a futile attemp to travel to the middle east??

The talk is already that Palin has no foreign policy, she has just as much as Obama diff. is she is on ticket as VP not as Pres. McCain has plenty of foreign policy exp. and didn't need to get a VP to help him out. She is a tough, strong women and is for women - for not all women think abortion is good for women. She is an excellent pick and will make a great first women VP. As for the investigation, which as no grounds, What is Palin response (paraphrased) - bring it on ! - She welcomes it and says "Hold me accountable" So this election -Get in the know and let's get it on, it's time for the punches and the swings, last one standing wins.

Nov. 4th - Go vote 08

McCain has just stamped a seal of approval for the Obama presidency! Thank you for being so conscientious and kindly stepping away from leading the country into a deeper hole.

Your love for the country is well appreciated, Sen. McCain!

Yes, you are absolutely right! We do need a person like Sen. Obama to lead the country and bring back the American prosperity and peace to the world!

Congress tried to buy Palin by offering her funds to build a "bridge to nowhere" and she told them to shove it! Now that is the type of politician I like! Go Sarah!! ex DEM!!

I think Palin as VP shows McCain is still a maverick......was it the right choice? NO! Won't be voting Republican this time around.

Palin - a Stellar Pick! She has More Experience than Obama! Since the DNC and Obama threw Hillary, Michigan and Florida under the bus, I can't vote for Hillary. Well, there is more than 1 way to skin a goose, so Let's have John the Maverick and Sara the Barracuda get in the WhiteHouse and Clean House! We'll get our change that way ,with out a "G D America" questionable politation being staged and shoved down our throats. McCain/Palin '08'

I'm still trying to figure this one out...

Palin is a champion for ethics in government, but she is currently under an active ethics investigation?

McCain reportedly defies his party position and believes in the threat of global warming, but picks Palin, who as noted above, is fighting placing polar bears on the endangered species list and doesn't believe the data on global warming?

Do the majority of Americans REALLY want a vice president who during her campaign two years ago advocated for teaching of creationism in public schools?

Seriously? Am I missing something here?

"Cheney was good with a gun."

Now, wait a minute, Kazeki! Let's remember that Cheney was the one that shot his friend on the ... ahem ... hunting trip.

However, the analogy may hold - I predict Palin will shoot down McCain's campaign in a matter of weeks.

My guess is that after reconsideration, McCain's gang will try to downplay Palin. On the bumper sticker they'll probably display her name in red against a dark blue background, rendering it illegible. (This is what Bush One did with Quayle during his reelection bid.)

Umm..Jeremy Slater..I'm guessing that you want the right to be tolerant & accepting of gay marriage, women's "rights, etc. Is that correct? The right is continually bashed for not being open minded & tolerant and yet I read your statement about teaching creationism in school....which doesn't strike me as very tolerant & accepting. Do we want kids to have only information we "believe" in or do we want them to get both sides of the story (on any issue) and then form their own opinion? Isn't that what school is for?

She's crooked and will fit nicely with Mcshame and the GOP..

Bush 3 term gauranteed!!
