McCain/Palin ???

[sparks19]

I just wanted to post something a friend of mine said. I had emailed him asking how he felt about her as he is from Alaska and has some personal (so to speak) experience with her in government....

Palin has not only standards but experience McCain and Obama lack. She has stood up to oil companies, other local polititians and utillities, cut taxes, and told the feds we dont need their money. She is down to earth as you have seen, more outside the beltway then those who are outside the beltway. She is pro developement, not just here but country wide. If she is as pro American as she is pro Alaskan she should be the going for president not the VP.

I guess she's not just a pretty face... she might actually have some substance. and she may not have the "experience" of a lifetime corrupt politician but she seems to have the experience we need the most... standing up to people who are trying to screw us. If she can keep this going in the white house and get McCain to go along with the same idea... I think she's wonderful

I like this choice. I think it was a great idea to get out of the good ole boy network. Seems like change is such a big theme, well she is definitely a change and I think a refreshing one at that.

I had to put both party tickets to my test. Which one rolls off the tongue easier - Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin. The GOP wins that one for me, too much b-b-b, I feel like I'm stuttering with Obama/Biden. Pretty scientific, huh?

Not only is this guy from Alaska, he is from Wasilla, Alaska. The town Mrs. Palin used to be mayor of.

I think it's a good choice for McCain's camp.
She will get the female vote and some of the mucho male vote.
For me she will not. A hunter. I would never vote for a hunter. Pro-life will not get my vote either.
Being both a hunter and pro-life doesn't make any sense to me at all.
How you can look an innocent animal in the face and blow it's heart out that is murder.

You equate harvesting a game animal with murder. That is so insane, I really can't put it in words. MURDER. That tells me that hunters should be arrested and put in jail. Is that what you really think? REALLY?

FWIW, hunting is about WAY, WAY more than the kill. You clearly have no idea what it is about and I doubt you ever care to. Before you truly HATE something, you should learn the truth about it.


Oh and get ready to cry, alot. LOL Dove season opens on Monday. Then, Deer and Fall Turkey's not long after that.

Oh, I heard a wonderful talk show and I forgot to see what/who it was becuase I was interrupted.


I was in the kitchen and nearly dropped a skillet with hot grease in it.


A woman came out and pooh-poohed the talk about Palin not having any experience.

She said that SP has MORE experience that the other three bobos combined.


She ran a small city for three terms. ( I think that was her run), then she ran a state, not for an extended period of time, but enough to get the drift.

She also 'ran' her own 'army', The Alaska National Guard-to which the male guest said that it wasn't the same as running the '82nd Airborne Division'.
Gotcha, it's true.

What have the other three done except run an state office under the pretense of representing the state they are from? Really, what does a senator do? Is that a real job?

I'll give McCain and Biden a nod in the experience box- So that leaves us with a lawyer who sat around and decided when and who he was going to work for. It must be nice to tell someone, "I can't help you, the law is against you."

Now, how will that work in the 'big' picture? Gonna feel comfortable telling a country or region, TFB, it's not our problem? Or "Can you stop killing people for a minute while we talk?"

I heard a poigant story about how BO could not make it to the Dem Convention in Los Angeles. Why? His credit card limit didn't allow him a rental when he got to the airport. He came to El Lay and didn't have the funds to rent a fricken car?

Now, that may not sound like a whole lot.....But, If you fly halfway across the country for a convention and haven't taken the steps to insure you have enough funds to rent a car, it shows what kind of attention you have to details.


I think we can ill afford to put someone into office that can't get from point A to point B because they can't think ahead..

Another anti-change conservative? Might as well give her a strap-on and call her one of the good ol' boys.

Hmm, interesting comment. Nope, she'd still be a woman.

What is the age limit for THE SECTION at the back of the video rental store?

ON second thought, you should have that keyboard washed out with soap.
-----------------------------------

LOL, things were civil until woman was mentioned, then the fit hit the shan. That's reallly telling. People let themselves be swayed by an orator with 'rock star good looks'. When a candidate shows up that does have resume and we know about every core value she has in 5 minutes, she's a
a hack, a political ploy and everything that woman are against.

Maybe the kitchen and bedroom are proper places after all.

Who knows for sure but the voters of this fine country. Everyone seems to be preaching we need to get rid of the old & bring in the new. Well, I would call this really bringing in the NEW.

Agreed

People complain that life long politicians are corrupt and we need people who haven't yet been corrupted by the "system". then they complain that people who aren't yet corrupted by the system aren't experienced enough.

Which is it?

I'm willing to try someone new. Can't get any worse than the choices we do have or have had in recent past. I think we've pretty much hit political "rock bottom"

Yes, that's what I wonder. Why do people complain about Barak Obama not being experienced enough?

I dont know. I haven't and I don't know anyone who has used that as a reasoning not to vote for him. So I couldn't tell you.
