The thing I like best about McCain is his choice for VP. This is no foo-foo, made over, pretty face put on stage for looks and sound bite one liners. I believe Sarah P is he real deal.
-
I am more enthusiastic about Sarah than I am about John.
That is part of what she is supposed to achieve, bring in the disaffected conservatives. Good strategy. Here I am.
I can see where she is also going to appeal to a lot of swing voters. She doesn't have to get 'em all to do the job. There are a lot of women who go for women candidates, but are a little uneasy with the Dem values (or the rabble outside the convention hall). Now they have a choice. She was very real.
I thought she was excellent. The press is going to hit back hard, and we will see what she is made of, but she looked like she could grow into a very tough role.

WHAT A VICE-PRESIDENT ! ! ! !
EAT CROW OSAMA OBAMA ! IF YA CAN.

What's up Bill?....Remember that crowI took out with my Diana model 24....we boiled it in soup and ate it. The meat's abit tough.....but eat-able.
And it's HOCKEY guys....not hocky heh heh

Looks like she's got a Crosman 760 multi-pump. You Go Girl!!!!
-
Does she really have what it will take to lead a nation if McCain dies in office? She doesn't seem to have done too well with having an unmarried pregnant daughter. Alaska isn't exactly a mainstream State with major business like some of those in the lower 48. She is a backwater version of the governor of South Dakota or similar. At least she isn't from Utah or Massachussets. The big question is whether she is really qualified for the position or is she a female Dan Quayle?
-
I don't want to lessen the importance of a President's job, or Premier in Canada.....but lots of times it's the party that decides which decisions/choices to take for the country (Last I heard, North America is still a democracy...). In the last 20 or 30 years....the charismatic, popular or well known person often get voted into office ie Sonny Bono, Arnold and that WWF wrestling guy (Forgot his name...) in the state level. Lots of those people have no real knowledge of the political ways...... just my $0.02
-
WOW! Bill, where are yougetting these pictures from...:) I have never seen such great political photo's like these before...:)
Gene
-
Ya Tom, I have to agree with you on that point. The Real Deal. One thing is for sure, McCain sure has some good tastes....:)
Gene

Well it is narrowed down to two choices. You can question all you like, but you still end up with two choices. Many might have preferred other people for either nomination, but since now you have two choices, you compare one choice to another, not to what might've been.
And that seems pretty straightforward.
As for having what it takes, not too many people ascending to the office have burst into tears and just floundered. I will take my chances with someone who seems to share my values. I know right where the other choice leads. She'll do nicely.

Stanley,the wrestler is Jessie the body Ventura.

Mahonri,do we know that any of them have what it takes,IMO McCain is probably the most qualified & desrving, I wouldn't under-estimate Palin.....besides McCain is already accomlishing one his strategic moves.....THE MEDIA/PUBLICITY.....What does Palins pregant daughter have to do with her ability,how many parents have darker secrets regarding their children,I don't think she should be judged or her character be attacked because of her immediate families decisions......show me THE BRADY BUNCH & I will give the winning numbers for MEGA MILLION!

Dave I agree!

I'd still hit it though. I'd hit it harder than the fist of an angry god.
-
I agree with you 100% Stan,
Politics has become a show, the candidates are just actors, and the party rules !
The only thing you can know for sure, is what they did last time up, and what they are doing now.And you MUST remember, that the President can't do very much, if the Congress and the Senate will not pass it, or vote on it! They control the MONEY, and he who controls the MONEY, CONTROLS !
-
I knew it was a re-do, but couldn't resist seeing the pellet gun !
Actually....she is built better than that model !

There are no Democracies on the North American continent. The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. It has never been a democracy.

Mahorni:
That's called an ad hominem attack -- and it won't work. The libs trashed Dan Quale, true. But me thinks that name calling isn't going to slow down this lady. And the tired chorus of "Bush Bush Bush, or Quayle, or Carl Rove, or whoever else you want compare her to in a derogatory fashion ain't going to do it, bro.
I laughed out loud today when one of the libs was saying "what is she [Palin] going to do for jobs, health care, blah blah blah." Maybe you missed it. She took a project, a trans-Alaskan gas pipeline, out of the hands of government bureaucracy, where it had been stalled 15 blanking years, put it up for private bids, and within the first 1.5 years as Gov. privatized a $40 billion (that with a B) project. Now you may think that's "fuzzy math", but seems to me a $40B project must have resulted in at least a few jobs for some of those union steelworkers (like she's married to). Not to mention the increased tax revenue that came into the state coffers and was then returned to the tax payers. You know, a $1200 tax refund funded by private industry that is now working on one of the largest privatized infrastructure projects in US history is also something of worth, too. Now, except for Tony Rezko's Chicago crew, which jobs did Obama create? Maybe I missed it.
Tee Hee Hee. Watch the polls. No, watch Sarah . . . here she comes! And the libs are worried.
Now did you have any specific policy issues other than Bush-hating, or better yet, and known positive political accomplishments of Obama you wanted to mention (other than defeating Hillary in the primary) to counter with?
-
Thanks Joe...his name was on the tip of my tongue. I believe he was in a couple of movies too. That's another thing.....do those WWF guys/gals, body builders (Arnold), singers or rich heiress have any acting talent? But they're racking in lots of dough from movies/t.v series due to their well-known face....and marketing. End of rant. heh heh
-
Mahonri: It would be easy to vote for Sarah Palin but I find it impossable to vote for McCain to elect her. As to Dan Quale, he is still in the background in D.C. as one of the 'neocons'. He did not fall because of leadership, he fell because he could not spell 'Potato'. jeep98

Hey Raymond,
I see you know the law, about as well as you know politics.
And I thought that you had to be at least 18 to be here, oh well, sorry if you have never seen a bikini clad women before, try reading a newspaper sometime, it gets better, underwear !

And Gore because he couldn't identify a bust of George Washington? Or Obama because he doesn't know there are 50 states? LOL. I am really enjoying this election cycle. Much more optimistic now. I have faith the voters will see the differences I think your man is toast, but we will see. Glad to see your spell checker is working, dude.
Air gunzzzz, etc.

shootist; You seem to be taking something wrong. It may be my fault since i inadvertantly applied my above post here when it was intended to be added to Gene's post about the 73 Mustang below this area. ---- The only thing I will say about the Law is there is diffinately too much of it, and as per politics, I guess it is alright once you get past the smell. --- What does 'Live Free or Die' mean to you?

Most of the Constitution has been nullified by Executive order or 'rewrites' through SCOTUS, including the reinterpretation of the Second Amendment. The Federalist Papers (http://www.law.ou.edu/hist/federalist/) didn't describe the 1934GCA (http://www.atf.gov/pub/fire-explo_pub/nfa.htm) nor the 1968FFA (http://www.saf.org/LawReviews/Zimring68.htm), but instead entailed the rights and resposibilities of the citizenry.

We the sheeple are controlled, and have no representation! Bow down before the NWO constitution - "Obey - or else (http://"http://www.serendipity.li/waco.html)!"

I love Sarah Palin and look forward to her presidency!!! Her normalcy is what makes her so appealing to me. She has actually paid taxes before just like us, her husband is in the steel union and holds a real job just like us, I'd bet she's even pumped her own gas before (just like us). I'm tired of people from harvard and yale telling me that they are for us "po folks" when a normal person couldn't even hold a conversation with them. I don't particularly like Mccain but I think she can keep him grounded to the fundamental ideals of the average American. Ron Paul on the other hand is a great man but just to radical to get elected (the liberal media never even gave him a chance though). His principles are sound and should hopeful start a reevaluation of the way americans think of government and the constitution. To bad he opposed the war on terror I think that was his downfall, people didn't understand his point that he didn't oppose the war just the fact that the congress didn't declare war.
-
BTW, the USA is not, and has never been a democracy. It's a constitutional republic. A democracy is pure mob rule.
And disrespect is not a verb.

Unless one of those choices is to get rid of the private bank Fed Reserve, IRS and unconstitutional unapportioned taxes, then it is only acontinuedperpetuation ofanother term of paid ruling class controlling the sheeple!

Who has plans to restore the Constitution?
Who plans to STOPsheeple fleecingthrough usurping liberties and high unapportioned taxes?

These are the most important questions to answer, but I haven't heard anyone volunteer any answers!

Parents give children the knowledge of knowing right from wrong. Parents can give their children advice. But they can not make the decisions for them. I have 3 sons and I have given them advice over and over again. But they choose to live their lives the way they want.
I was one of those unmarried pregnant daughters that you seem to continue to beat up over and over again on every politcal post.
Her pregnant daughter is not running for Vice President she is!!!!!!

Well said!!!

That pic is a fake. I've seen the original and it's had her head photoshopped onto it.
I saw an old pic of her in a very seksy, but not trashy skirt and top. Mmmm-mmmm. Tasty.
She cleans her own fish and guts her own caribou. I like it.

Too bad it's not a fastback. The 69 and 71-73 Mach 1s are my favorite Mustangs ever. Don't like the 70. They did away with 2 of the lights up front, and flush mounted the taillights. Just didn't work for me.
-
Yes, she is definitely built better than that chick.
-
Dave, I couldn't agree with you more. We only get to vote for one of the 2 candidates selected for us. We must vote for the lesser of 2 evils. At least she and McCain show up for work. Obamayomama can't even be bothered to do that.
-
I don't see anything about Mc Cain as governor of Arizona? He did a great job there. I do not have any statistics but he brought put Arizona on the map and through his policy made a load of jobs available.
Last I remember jobs made our economy strong or gives the government more money to spend..:)
Gene
-
I did not know that. Maybe that is a resume item which needs to be brought up in the debates etc. I would like to see projections on what the economic plan would accomplish in terms of jobs etc. Remember Ross Perot and his graphs which the elder Bush did not respond to and I think cost the election. The economy at that time was already beginning its growth phase. We were coming out of the recession already. Perot kept hammering away at the past and of course the tax increase hurt as well. Interesting note that equity markets closed higher yesterday in spite of the jobs data. This election is about the future and not about the past. It is about bridging the gap to increased energy independence. I am not certain that the US will ever do without foreign oil completely in my lifetime. I know I will likely get flamed but drill now, sooner rather than later, and stop the flow of dollars to the opec cartel. No it won't happen tomorrow but if the threat is there I believe Opec will continue to pump and not be so inclined to cut production. The members were greedy in the past and will be in the future. If asset value is declining they pump as much as possible to keep revenue streams flowing. The issues in this election are not about whether or not a 17 year old woman is pregnant. If you don't vote or vote for a write in then you are part of the problem. I think I went off on a tangent or two. But as they say it is the BACK ROOM.

WOW J,
James Manning is harder than me, I read everything I could about Osama, and NONE of it is very pretty, but even I would not bring it out as crassly as that !
By the way, he forgot to mention Osamas stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, who "picked up" with Osama's mother, and took her off to Jakarta Indonesia, where they had their first child, Maya Soetoro, Obamas stepsister.
There he attended Islamic Madrases until the age of 10, when his mother sent,(dumped)him to her parents for further education in Hawaii.
Osama's stepsister described her mother as an agnostic, that felt that too many Christians practiced un-Christian ways. A sharp contrast from how Osama described his mother, as a Christan from Kansas !
But thanks for the link, J. I enjoyed hearing this from someone else !

IF they get elected, which I doubt will happen, and IF McCain should die in office....

You mean the elder "Read my lips, no new taxes" Bush 41? Beg to differ. It wasn't Perot's graphs that cost him the election. Instead, it was, until the Clinton era, what was then largest tax increase in American history that Bush 41 signed instead of vetoing. (Remember, the one that was supposed save Social Security, and the huge Medicare and Capital Gains tax hikes?) Had Bush 41 vetoed the tax bill, Congress would have overridden the veto, yes, but at least he would have kept his word. But noooooooooooo! He didn't want to look bad by having a veto overturned, so he broke his word to those who elected him. Got what he deserved for doing it, too, or I should say, didn't get what he didn't deserve -- re-election. And the resulting economy was what the 1994 Republican "Contract with America" rolled in on in the middle of Clinton's two terms (remember?)
Ladies and gentlemen, it is your Congress that sets the agenda of taxes, controls governmental spending and economic policy. And right now, that's the Democrats, who, for reasons that are transparent, are happy if the economy is bad. And even if it isn't, they will say it's the "worst economy in the last 50 years" irrespective of the truth, and the Congress who has blocked any sort of sane energy policy, and the Congress who voted to approve the war in Iraq, etc.. etc. And if Bush 43 is bad, then the current Congress absolutely s - - ks.
But hell, it must be Bush's fault somehow. That is all I ever hear. That's the only mantra the left seem to know. I will take either of the Bush's over Jimmy Carter any time. I am of an age where I actually remember the worst economy of the last 50 years and buying my first home on a one-year balloon note at 18.5%, double digit inflation, American hostages, an impotent military led by a Commander in Chief who was a buffoon, and "the misery index". But let's not talk about that. Elect some more libs, raise taxes on the "rich" and watch what happens to the economy over the next 4 years. I am sure that will be Bush 43's fault as well.
Good luck all you young folks out there in the job market. You will need it. And just wait and see how much of your paycheck you get to keep when the taxes on the "rich" get raised again. My advice: look for a Government job. There is never a recession or downsizing of any of those.

Longshot: Ron Paul's point is the War on Terror was not declared Constitutionally. Congress is to Declare War, not offer a Resolution. If Congress had declared war, it would have eliminated some controversy. But as with the War on Poverty, the War on Drugs, it will be that a War on Terror can never be won. The definition of terror has not even been established, so when do we stop the war. My guess is when we run out of money. 'One man's terrorist is another man's freedomfighter.' author unknown. jeep98

Jaymo: You may have 2 choices, but I am not voting for any lesser of two evils. I'm nowhere near perfect but I refuse to betray my principles once I have found them. I believe a heavy third party vote is the only way to slow down the downward spiral the lesser of 2 evils are leading the US. jeep98

As usual I put down the wrong information and I take it all back about Mc Cain being Governor of Arizona. He was the Senior Senator from Arizona. He made somerecognizable accomplishments as Senator of Arizona.
Guess I should of got my politics straight before blurting them out...:)

Like Ross Perot--you got two terms of Clinton.

Go Ron Paul! Ron As VP would be awesome!
-
I hate to tell you supporters of Ron Paul, but even if he became President, he could do nothing without Congress and the Senate.
The Congress and the Senate, write and pass the laws, as well as hand out our money to pay for the laws they pass. Ron could do nothing without a heavy support base from the Democrats and Republicans.........................sorry,,,,I'm still laughing....OH!!!!......OH, THAT"S SO FUNNY !!!!
At best, he will be a Lame Duck President, that they can blame for everything that goes wrong.
It would be better to concentrate your time and money electing Congressman andSenators to office where they can affectCHANGE,,,,WORDS,,JUST WORDS !
Don't get me wrong, I know there are problems, and Ron Paul has some interesting answers. But his attempt to run for President, before he has any base in the Congress, or the Senate, is just a further waste of your money !
-
I first came across Ron Paul in the early eighties or there abouts. He has an interesting following but has been unable to make a large impact. This election is much too important IMO to use votes to make statements which will go largely ignored. Maybe the right way to spin the "lesser of two evils "is to "vote against the larger evil." Paul is scheduled to make a statement on sept 10 per wikeipedia.
-
Heya.
I watch multiple forums. When I start my browser it pops up with ten tabs for various venues, and most are political. Something I've noticed, consistently, on those forums is that for some reason unknown to me, Ron Paul supporters have a great tendency to go off the deep end when disagreed with. I mean completely trippin' off the line. One popular modus operandi was to "fix" online polls, voting repeatedly in order to give the illusion of great support for Paul. Really bizarre, obsessive behavior.
Now I understand that any group of people under any banner have a few excitable folks in their number, but this seems to be a real phenomenon, observable over and over.
I don't really understand it. Maybe someday someone will clue me in on the cause of these hysterics. He seems to really attract eccentrics.
Boy, I'm really askin' for it here, aren't I? :D

In any case, I was thankful when your post popped up and shielded mine from casual observers. haha

Not really Parks,
It's rather easy to understand, Politics and Religion are emotional subjects, and people take their opinions very strongly, everyone thinks their correct ! And we all know, if someone agrees with YOU, that they are intelligent, now if they disagree with you they are stupid ! EASY !
The same goes for a car, or an airgun, that YOU do not like, they must be stupid to have selected that make or model !
Over the years, I have observed that people are all different in their likes in smell, color, taste, music and even their idea of beauty ? But that's what makes life interesting ! The differences !
Just MY observation, and I do not understand just why, it must be a learned as a small child :)
-
Don't get me wrong guys, I like Ron Paul but I'm not one of those "crazies". I just like his views on the constitution and gun rights but your right Bill there is no way he could get any of his stuff to pass congress. I just wish there was a better choice than Mccain. His work on the amnesty bill, the gang of fourteen that ruled the senate, opposing drilling in ANWR all really bother me to the core. He's since changed his mind on some of these but his original choices reveal a lot about the man. I am proud of his military service but sometimes when people (even war hereos like Mccain) get inside the washington beltway they forget their ideals. His choice of Palin was a masterstroke but that is one of the few good choices he's made, I'm still gonna vote for him but I find myself thinking "am I voting for him or against Obama?. I just never had a choice in the matter, all the candidates just dropped out before they came to Texas. It was like the other guys saw the writing on the wall that said "by the powers that be" Mccain will be the nominee.
