McCain/Palin ???

[jazzcat]

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?

I`m in school to become a dental hygienist, does this mean I can look forward to a Beauty Pageant in my future too?

That's up to you, I am still trying to decide what I want to be after I grow up.
Do not panic- that is an old joke about exotic dancers. They dance to get money to pay for DH school. They only plan on doing it for a year then go to school.

Actually, since you are already in school you are disqualified from BPs and dancing. Sorry.

We could always see it President Camacho from the movie "Idiocracy" is interested in running again.

Now, he was a leader!

Fortunately, I`m not in that situation, so I guess that does indeed disqualify me. Can`t say I`m too sorry!

I don't know, but what I see is a skrewy last attempt to gain voters because she's a woman and believes in "all that good old fashion stuff." As soon as I heard I couldn't help but think McCain just skrewed himself over on that one. Better luck in 4 years?

In fact, she and I could not be farther apart on the things that I really care about.

[RICHARD]

Now, isn't an election the attempt, first and last, to gain more voters than the other guy?

Isn't that what a woman has been struggling for for the last how many years?

This woman is a joke to the men who want to keep their women right where they want them, in the bedroom and kitchen, She's also a joke to the women who think that they should stay in the bedroom and kitchen.

All of a sudden a woman is given the chance to shine and the machistas and women aren't really sure about some dame who shoots her own basketballs and meat, knows a first down from a touchdown and is not just another pretty face, she was a beauty queen.

It's the same dopey reasons we fear an auricularly enlarged dopey rookie senator/lawyer with some ideas that change from day to day.

I've been bored with the half lawyer/half senator that has promised us to end a war so we can continue it a few miles down the road. That wants to raise taxes to lower prices. He promises to give everyone cheap health care- and you will get exactly that- cheap health care. But it won't be free and heaven help you all when you have to see your government appointed physicians!

Palin hasn't promised anything yet. She's the understudy, waiting in the wings.
We haven't heard her 'voice' yet.

We have already seen 'BO the rock star and president' for the last year- Talking 'bout my g-g-g-g-generation....(pun intended). ANd change, change, change!

It is time to take away some of the power from the white, black and in between dudes that run stuff into the ground. LOL, instead of tough talking
males, I think a softer touch may be needed. When was the last time we were given a hug, had our boo-boos attended to and told not to cry?

IT ain't no goofy fricking senator cruising an airport restroom that's gonna make me feel better about my country.

It may be a political dare that JM has taken, but you have to give him credit for giving her a chance. All the pundits said that BO and HRC were an unbeatable combo. We'll never know.

I really want to see a woman as Vice President.

Why? I want to see the men sweat and women wrinkle their noses. I want to hear all the nasty jokes about how another old dude and young black dude were no match for and old guy and a relatively unknown gal.

Will it matter much? Only to the who lose this election. They'll cry and moan about how the votes weren't counted right, machines failed and the results were announced to soon so us idiots on the West Coast can throw up our arms and say, "My vote won't count!"


It's time to celebrate! Women got out of the kitchen, got to vote, ran for office and won and now we can really step out onto the world scene and say that we are catching up to some of countries that are being steered by a woman at the helm.

As the paragon of wit and intelligence, Bill Maher is already making jokes, He said something like this last night, "If something happens to McCain, he can pass the controls to the stewardess."

Poor gals, you are still drink servers, pillow fluffers and barf bag handlers to some men.

You got the chance, take it and run-before the AHs that call themselves men take it away from you.

I was floored to see Palin's name. I think it was a wrong move. I could be wrong. I don't think she has enough experience and exposure to be vice president. We shall see, and soon.

[Puckstop31]

I am not on the left. Just ask anyone here who has been reading my posts for 8 years. I have voted both ways, Democratic and Republican, over the past several decades.

Voting D or R does not mean anything. There is so little difference between the parties now. But if you are a BIG fan of Joe Biden, you certainly are not a social or fiscal conservative.

Just sayin'

To SAY nice things is one thing... To come up with ways to pay for them is another. You know, rather than bone the people who got off their bums and EARNED it.

[Puckstop31]

My first thought was that it was a transparently blatant attempt at courting dissatisfied Hillary fans.

Of COURSE it was. But as a bonus, Mrs. Palin actually has some values to back it up with.

Nothing I have heard since has dissuaded me of that notion, though I know more about her now than I did before.

Of COURSE not.

This should be a fascinating election and campaign.

+100 I was so not interested until this.

[Puckstop31]

And Biden has no children?

Well... Good for him. Really.

But he IS a JAG officer. I doubt he ever leaves the wire. But still, good for him.

This makes me want to find out what Palin's son does. Is he a pointy edge guy or a REMF.

[Puckstop31]

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....

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

[Marigold2]

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.

[Oggyflute]

She's a man's kind of woman. I just saw her pulling salmon nets into a boat, she jogs, she hunts, she played basketball in school, she gets double points from me if she drinks beer and watches sports with her husband

How good is that! (positions are available down here, if things don't work out )

[IRescue452]

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

[pomtzu]

I would hate to think that McCain won the election because of Palin, but I do believe he made his selection of her with the idea of getting Hillary supporters' votes. This is not an election based on gender, just as it isn't based on color. At least I hope it isn't either of these!

[Suki Wingy]

I don't care that she's a woman. I care about the fact that she is against everything I believe in when it comes to big topics.
