Re: McCain picks Sarah Palin for Vice President
Yeah, she's as close to a Reagan style republican that this country will ever get, and people know that. Its an amazing choice, and watching the Obama "change" bandwagon jump all over an outsider with executive credentials is gonna be great.
Re: McCain picks Sarah Palin for Vice President
And to those who say conservatives dont wont women to vote, and wouldnt vote for Obama because he is black, or other stupid bullshit like that, you really have no clue. No clue at all.
It was a joke. Come now, people don't think like that anymore--I hope.
Re: McCain picks Sarah Palin for Vice President
Among many elderly and poor, even some middle class, I don't think that's too far off the bat. They might not be totally against it, but I'm sure there is some proclivity towards the white male. Which is only natural, considering. We are moving away from it, but considering we've yet to see a female or black President, and that goes for most of the western world, I don't think we can say we've arrived quite yet.

Absolutley man. I have been waiting for this type of leader for some time now. I thought Bush was going to be that. Oh well...

Okay man. Sorry to fly off like that. I just have actually heard people claim that and it drives me nuts!
Re: McCain picks Sarah Palin for Vice President
Is she really the "renegade" governor McCains making her out to be??
http://faithfulprogressive.blogspot.com … where.html
Apparently it's already come out she was "for" the bridge to nowhere, even was quoted as wanting to hurry it up before the GOP lost their majority in the senate. It was only after the bridge to nowhere became a national laughingstock that she later opposed it. She was even quoted in the Anchorage Daily News as saying "Yes" she is for it. So, first she was for a $300 Million dollar bridge project in Alaska, then she was against it??
Personally, even though I'm a Democrat, I just don't find her electable. The qquestion "Is your VP ready to take office on Day 1 is bound to come up in debates. Obama has an answer, I don't see how McCain can answer it. Also, James, I know what you're saying about Obama not being able to say anything bad about her lack of experience, but on the other hand don't you see that working both ways? McCain really can't talk about Obama's lack of experience as much anymore, because at 72 his VP has alot more weight than most elections. McCain had 1 strong point over Obama, and now he reduces that strength. And I still don't see McCain having any strength on economic issues, not helping him was his quote earlier this year saying "I don't know much about the economy". I noticed even conservative Michael Savage doesn't get it.

It'll be years before the oil is being pumped & used. By then we'll need to be looking for alternate energies anyway, because even forign oil will be dwindling because China, Russia & India will be using more than us anyway. Might as well be proactive and start looking now, 10 year searly.
Maybe, but that's NOT WHAT IT'S FUCKING ABOUT!
GOD, I can't count how many THICK people still don't get it.
It's not ABOUT pumping oil dude. It's about fueling SPECULATION that we're getting OUT of the foreign oil business. It's about making those ragheads think they're gonna have to take their business elsewhere, because we're going domestic.
Bush symbolically lifting the ban on off shore drilling, within days PLUMMETED prices, some places dropped over $0.60 cents a gallon in just a day and a half.
The stock market works on speculation. Always has. Always will. Just making them THINK we're going to start drilling got prices down, and INSTANTLY. Continuing to put the pressure on and play the poker game we call the world, BLUFFING, we further drive down prices, I guarantee. I know my guarantee doesn't mean much, but i'd bet my life on it.
