Define Chronic Depression – living in northern Michigan trying to survive as Realtor and a conservative. Get drunk and vote for McCain sounded like (shallow) but simple advice prior to McCain’s brillant choice of Sarah Palin.
Where can I get a yard sign? Time to dump the ill informed, elitist drama dream team of Obama and whats his name and fix our country.

Oh come on now. To say that she has more experience than Obama is to suggest that she would be a better president than Obama, and this is completely silly. Do you honestly expect me to believe that this obscure governor is better qualtified to be president that Obama? If McCain is elected and has a stroke, guess what . . .she will be sworn in as president. Who is this person exactly? We have gotten the opportunity to get to know Obama since 2004 through his countless interviews, through his debates, his books, and his many speeches. You want to know about Obama’s stance, then go to his website and read to your hearts content all of his policy proposals.

Palin just got her passport for the first time a year ago. She stated that she has no idea what the Vice president even does. McCain actually uttered PTA when he was describing her experience! You say that she has more executive experience than Obama . . .so what? She has more executive experience than McCain too! What has McCain ever presided over? Maybe she should be at the top of the Republican ticket according to this argument.

I am sorry, but the argument that Palin is qualified and prepared to be so close to the most powerful job in the world, and that she is better prepared than Obama is weak at best. At its worst, it is a tranparent attempt at political pandering. Completely transparent!!!

How far can MSM bias go before it becomes, in effect, an in-kind contribution to the Democratic campaign?

The Obama campaign is attempting to legally suppress the ads about Ayers & Obama based on a theory that they are unlawful campagin contributions. But the value of hundreds of hours of biased TV coverage must have a far greater value, if calculated at appropriate commercial advertising rates, than does this specific ad series.

Thomas,

My, my. Certainly not gonna let any facts get in the way of your posts, huh?

She was in Germany more than a year ago – therefore she must have had a passport.

She said she was unsure what the VP job WOULD ENTAIL FOR HER AS MCCAINS VP. Search for the clip and listen to the entire thing, not just the left’s bullet points.

She DOES have more executive experience that either Obama or Biden. But who doesn’t?

And I don’t think we are SUGGESTING that she would be a better president than Obama. We are flat out saying it, no suggestions needed.

Get with the program. The hype of “hope” and “change” is a myth. The ONLY “washington outsider” that is part of the equation is Sarah. The only politician of the group that could possible be defined as different from the “norm” is Sarah.

McCain’s pick took the wind out of your sails. DNC can talk about how her inexperience won’t be good for the job, but…. they can’t now can they? Not without looking like the hypocrites they are. It won’t be long until “big foot” Biden puts his size 11′s in his mouth over her being a female. You watch and see, Biden has to be extra special careful at any VP debates, and she doesn’t.

Anything else you’d like to say about the VPILF?

Of course Sarah Palin is more experienced then Obama, the problem is she’s also more experienced the John McCain. So why is she being run for Vice President? Why should we vote for him when we want her? People should write Sarah Palin in on the ballot, she’s a better choice then McCain and it’s not right to vote for McCain hoping something will happen to him.

Sorry…. Double posted.

It would seem from the last comment what’s happened here is that instead of running Sarah Palin for her strength of leadership and empowering her, the intent is to run her in image only. That is not very honest.

Sarah Palin’s qualified and experienced to be the lead candidate. It seems rather unAmerican to be told how to vote solely because the other guy could do something.

What’s next? Are going to run a single candidate and tell everyone don’t bother to vote unless it’s for them?

If a vote for Sarah Palin written in is a vote wasted because of John McCain then it’s a vote he lost for Sarah Palin who is his fellow Republican. I think his nomination speeks volumes about his respect for her ability to perform the duties of President. You should give them both more respect then that.

I would hope that more people believe like me and vote for who they really think should lead and not for who they are directed to vote for. Otherwise it would seem that my country has perhaps lost some of its gumption.

“Biden has to be extra special careful at any VP debates, and she doesn’t.”

This is exactly what’s wrong with the whole picture! If Obama mentions a Pig in Lipstick, it’s automatically about Palin, and somehow that’s sexist. It’s sexist to pick a women as a VP candidate, and say “oh no ya don’t! you can’t say that about a woman!”

After reading a few of the comments posted here I am going against hope that obviously this is a pro McCain blog and biased against Obama. Ok fair enough….but I am hoping that this blog is open to both sides of the spectrum. When I read all the comments about the media being in love with Obama and is biased against Palin it makes me sick. First of all for all of you that are crying about experience, do I have to remind you that it was your own candidate whose war cry was experience. Obama didnt have the qualifications etc etc, and then goes out and picks a running mate that knows nothing about foreign policy and cannot speak intelligently to the press without rambling gibberish. Yet most of you try to cover her flaws with weak excuses that its the media. Fact #2, need I also remind you of the media frenzy of Jerimiah Wright, I didnt hear anyone crying about them being biased towards Obama then. You know what folks, although you refuse to admit it the bottom line is this. You will make all the excuses in the world and and fool and kid yourself into believing that McCain is a better pick but the truth is that its really about his skin color. You will never vote for a black man. Pure and simple, I think I respect the open racist more then those of you who hide behind your weak logic and reasons not to vote for Obama. I cannot believe that any of you actually think that Sarah Palin is competent enough to run this country, she is a heart attack away from being the President of the U.S. This shows me that this has nothing to do with the love of your country, its all about your own selfish beliefs, before you see a Black man become president you would rather see this country be destroyed by incompetence.

God help us, we havent learned anything.

sarah palin had great moves. i mean, she’s so happy and bubbly, who wouldn’t want to vote for her? but this is her down-fall: the way she holds herself.

please don’t fume up on me, because i’m neither a dem or rep but an ap and honors gradutating high school student and i’ve studied this election. i’ve studied since my junior year, when primaries were the hot topic.

so please, before you get angry, hear me out!
she’s got that awesome accent (same one i do) but her vernacular makes voters (intelligent ones) feel that maybe she isn’t …well… smart… enough… she has funny answers to questions that a person with 2 years of experience should know.
for example: she didn’t really understand what a VP does…. and she’s running for VP… i like her, she gave a great definition to how VPs are a team player in the huge sport of politics but it wasn’t really an accurate definition.

i love her personality though. if i knew her as a person, we’d be best friends, count on it. although, i’d like to pick someone who knows what they’re doing..

but, what i’m tryna get to is, obama may have less experience but at least he did his homework. plus, he has yeeeaaars of education in his background.

not only that but you can tell how wonderful a parent is by looking at their children. i’m not saying anything more but compare mccains pains and gw bush’s kids to obamas… see?

and that first video up top, she looked over to her left a lot. in ap psych, that’s the big move for a liar. liars look toward the left… (incase a few parents want to test it out on their kids.)

and reps use this very clever (kudos to that) move where a few weeks before the election, they’ll do or say something that will snag them the vote.
for (another) example: in the 2001, few weeks before election day, gw bush said “i will not do what my father did.” now we can slap ourselves on the head for electing him TWICE because he didn’t do what his father did but worse.
i think sarah palin is the big chess peice for the reps and is going to be the reason why reps might win this election.

i’m no demi or a rep. infact, i’m not old enoguh to vote. but i care for this country, trust me, i do. i’ve noticed how most reps like to use profanity when talking about obama and how the demis in these comments are a bit more equal to the views. i like darrell, probably a few of the reps that apolojized in advance, which was sweet. but please, to those.. um… “cursers”, don’t be so biased. yeah, i know “msm, cnn” ext. ext. but there’s also fox and cnbs, which is largely and i mean LARGELY supported by reps. it just seems to me that there are more obama supporters on cnn and such so fox isn’t noticed.

ps. i know obama is labelled as a socialist which some think is right and others wrong but socialism isn’t a bad thing. it’s just been labelled bad, like communism which is a branch of socialism. they both are ment for good purposes but the wrong dictator takes advantage. socialism means that the people can do what they want but are ruled by the government. kinda like THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! !! !!! !! …yep… we’re born and raised in not only the most powerful country in the world but a semi-socialist one (which was recently given more power.)
it matters on who is in charge of the country.
japan and china are examples of a great economy. plus, bho (don’t wanna say “bo” b/c it sounds like “body odor” el oh el) doesn’t want to raise or lower taxes, he wants to redistribute. that’s a big word for find ways to put money in its rightful place. like NOT throwing millions of taxpayer dollars a month to iraq. or aig. DD
<3 <— (that’s a heart) i love you guys! i respect your views and credit you on your patrionism to fight for who you believe is the right president for this country. i wish you all a very blessed election.
may the best (wo)man win! :3

please comment back if you want to correct me on my veiws. i mean, you know, because mccain isn’t gw bush’s best friend or sarah palin isn’t extreemly against gay marraige (where it HAS been proven that sexual orientation is prefertal) or obama isn’t just great at what he does or he doesn’t have a harvard degree or gw bush actually was smart and it wasn’t because his daddy was president to why gw bush was able to go to yale or that i’m not a student and that i’m actually aurora from sleeping beauty or how when i was ten i didn’t know gw bush was going to be the glacier to our Titanic country or anything because that would seem impossible…

it’s 1030 pm, which is an hour past my bed time so peace. DD don’t drink and drive
