Thanks for the site,, however on Family & Children, it seems to me that her daughter being pregnant is not a stance but an occurence. I know this site has many other "facts" rather than legitimate stances. Now if they named it influences, then maybe. I'm pretty sure if you asked her what her stance on pre-marital sex, she would say "I'm not for it".

As far as the Bridge to nowhere, I would have backed it if I could get my constituents jobs and benefits. But yeah, just like anyone else, denounce it for what it is when it all comes out in the wash...

Palin on Immigration....this one was funny to me. I tried to picture all the Canadians "crossing the border".

Principle and Values. Now I have to laugh at the Beauty pageant and her Miss Congeniality statement....Can't we have congeniality in the government? Are we scared it will rub off on someone? Oh and to bring up her 1984 accomplishment and label it 2008 is suspect.

Ah the list could go on....

:cool:

Hey 2Easy,

I'm part of that conservative base and I wasn't upset with McCain, I'm just coming to accept the fact that we are still a 2 party system, just Democrat and Socialist. And Huckleby ain't no conservative. He's just a RINO like Schwarzenegger, sp?.


Palin didn't make one iotas difference in my vote selection. I'd be just as apt to vote for Lieberman as McCain, there ain't a spit worth's of difference between the 2. As for Palin, maybe she needs to plagarized sumpin' or got caught cheatin' in college, to have the correct qualifications for Veep, since being a gov, yeah for only 2 years, doesn't seem to cut any ice with anyone. Ya'll better get rip her apart in the next couple of weeks or it'll probably be 2 late, but it may backfire on ya. Andrea Mitchell has already said, yesterday, Palin will only attract the dumb and uneducated women. We need more of this stuff. Nothin like a womans wrath. ;)

It's no wonder we don't get the best and brightest from both sides, because of all the mud and crap that the press slings, even if it's a lie.

This is guy sick and tired of politics and the hypocrisy. But then I just a dumb old cynical country inganeer. :nuts:

McCain has had ongoing private conversations with Palin since April, according to the McCain campaign. And I have seen both Romney and Huckabee endorsing the Palin nomination. In fact, I beleive Romney has joined McCain on the campain tour. Huckabee can be seen on Fox News as a new paid political contributor. Maybe if you Google them, you will be able to get more information on their stance.

I have not seen any evidence that the GOP is "ticked off" as you suggest, rather, the polling of GOP adherants suggest overwhelming support for this nomination. However, Charles Krauthammer did make the point that since McCain was positioned so well going into this convention that he would have preferred a Romney or Huckabee pick as a safe bet.

What is clear is that there are many Dems unhappy that Obama rejected Clinton, who would have virtually guaranteed a Democratic victory and are not ready to fall in line...

It does seem that the loyal opposition is unhappy with the GOP choice.

JTH - This is amazing.

I'm floored, but like I've said all along: "If the right person said the right thing I'd give them my full support". I know a lot of people that would be thrilled to see this.

Maybe this is a huge blessing in disquise - pulled in for "the wrong reason" - but meant for the best.

Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks Steady, I got the link from my dad who posted this in his forum. If there is one thing we should all agree on it's that this thread has created far more buzz then Biden ever did.
 
Did Obama get that DNC bounce ? NO

Why did Obama stay only a few points ahead of McCain - Sarah Palin!!!:D

Next week McCain/Obama even or McCain ahead by 3+ points why Palin. :D

Almost as funny as the appeaser clip from earlier in this campaign.

I'm very happy with McCain's choice, unless, of course, he wins.

Is it true that Palin didn't tell her family she was running for VeeP, until, after she accepted? If so, that sure put her daughter and Levi in a bad position - world-wide scrutiny of a teen-age screw-up.

I hope Levi and his friend know they can't enter DC packing.:laugh:

I won't even mention the rumor that Bristol is Trig's mother and Sarah is his grandmother. Oops, I mentioned it!

Last night, on the Larry King Show, James Carville held of a picture of the Wasilla AK city hall and said it looked like a Louisiana bait shop. You be the judge. Obama can't compete with that kind of experience.

Yeah, the Dems are frantic over how to handle McCain's masterful pick. Hmm, just sit back and let the press and blogsphere tear her and her family apart? ;)


Maybe, they're going for the pity vote.-----Jim

Actually, it is reported that Gov. Palin's husband and children were part of the decision, but not the extended family.

And to even go there with the false rumor you have mentioned is not worthy of your reputation. We are better than that. That would be the same as asserting that Obama is a Muslim, which of course is untrue.
 
Sarah Palin is really getting slammed on the media, but I think it will backfire. They keep bringing up her lack of experience, so I guess being an Arkansas or a Georgia Governor makes a man a lot more qualified than a female Governor from Alaska? All it does in the end is turn the focus back to what makes Obama qualified to lead the free world? His four years in the Senate, two of which were spent running for President? Anyway, it will be really interesting watching the RNC unfold after the doom and gloom of the DNC…:cool::cool:

Here's my source:

"Later that morning, John McCain departed for Phoenix and Governor Palin departed with staff to Flagstaff, Arizona. Governor Palin, Kris Perry, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter proceeded to the Manchester Inn and Conference Center in Middleton, Ohio. They were checked into the hotel as the Upton Family. While there, Governor Palin’s children, who had been told they were going to Ohio to celebrate their parents’ wedding anniversary, were told for the first time that their mother would be a nominee for Vice President of the United States of America."

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/29/1307122.aspx

If Gov Palin didn't discuss the consequences of pursuing the Vice Presidency with Bristol BEFORE accepting the slot, she's just an opportunist willing to sacrifice her child to her ambition. If she did, then the story needs to be rebutted, directly.

The "grandmother" rumor was reported anonymously in the Daily Kos and seems to have been debunked. I was just having fun with this wild, crazy, and rapidly changing story.

However, seriously, "why" did McCain pick Palin? Surely, there were better Republican women available. For example Olympia Snow - she's a maverick, experienced, and highly respected.

Furthermore, "why" did Gov. Palin accept? She seems like she has a lot on her plate with TrooperGate, a handicapped baby, two other young children, a son in Iraq, and a pregnant, unwed daughter.

Why go through all of this drama? I just don't get it. ----Jim
