Oh GOD NOT YOU TOO! That's years old. So what.

So you think he thinks more highly of the office now? So highly that he'd give it to a political neophyte with zero experience?

BTW, how is everyone here who has been bashing Osama on his lack of experience gonna reconcile that with the fact that this chick has less experience?

Oh don't say she has more, I delved into that, she don't.

She has more "executive" experience than any of the other three, period. That's a fact.

how about this.....biden has 30 years of doing nothing.....mccain 26.....obama 3.......she has acomplished more domestically, internationally and economiccaly in her state in less time than the other three combined ....

go ahead tell me what biden did in his first year as senator.....mccain.....obama.....

Where did I run down your state? It is simply a fact that there are corporations in America with more employees than the population of Alaska, should we nominate the owner of Krispy Kreme?

It don't matter though, John McCain is a liberal today, he'll be a liberal tommorrow and he'll be a liberal on that Tuesday in November, how does that make you feel as a conservative Republican? How does it make you feel to have a liberal(McCain) Vs a marxist(Osama)?

krispy kreme virtually failed due to a power business plan and the ceo was fired.....so now that would be a bad choice......

mccain chosen his successor for 12 ....... is it really that hard to see ..... he picked the future of the party......in her short tenure she has proven herself to be an adept negotiated both with domestic and international opponents.....she has proven her self to be a social conservative....she has proven herself to be economically conservative and is anti pork....

so time in the legislative branch of government passing bills recomending that someone do something but not actually doing anything makes one qualified to run the executive branch.....

she has actually held office in an executive branch of government .....

the answer for the other three is ...no i have not served in the executive branch .....

this is why govs tend to get elected pres and senators don't.....

running a state is hard.....bitching and complaining about the pres and siphoning off tax funds to fund state programs is not something to be admired.....

Yes, Alaska. It's still a fact, she alone has executive experience.
The other three have been no more than a voice in a collective body without individual responsibility for any group decisions. Pretty cushy job really and they don't have to act/vote if they don't want to...unlike a Governor.

This no experience argument is weak regarding her compared to the other three.

Additionally, Dick Cheney is from Wyoming, right? It has a smaller population at 522,830 people - does that mean he's not qualified?

And WTH does a state's population have to do with the Governer's role of said state and their executive role?

you really don't see the political genius in this pick......

mccain is a one term pres.....

he is just the guy to take on obama the polls prov it is a dead heat.....

so obama picks an olde man to offset mccain....

so if mccain wins he will need a vp to run for pres against either hillary or obama ..... palin is olde school gop.....

John McCain has always been pro-military and takes a tough stand on foreign policy, which is the most important trait for a President. The President isn't a dictator who can force whatever domestic policy he wants, so all the talk about where they stand on the issues, especially on the economy is a moot point. He was always been pro-life and will appoint conservative judges. Although he has been liberal on issues like illegal immigration he does not qualify as a shitbag liberal. True liberals piss on their country and military every chance they get (as Obama has) and push forward their socialist/communist domestic policies (as Obama is).

When clearly it hasn't worked in her and her daughter's case. And they should have figured something out because they're causing themselves and the children a lot of problems.

One person chose Palin for nominee and she could very well end up as President. That's bad.

And basically that's as it's been since the beginning. FDR chose Truman, then kept him in the dark. Worked out ok, after a bit.

Well, won't it be up to the public to elect the team of their choice? I wouldn't have selected Osama, Biden or McCain. None of those three have had any executive experience. McCain does have a career as a pilot and Naval Officer which certainly trumps Biden's sucking off the Governmental teet for 36 years after receiving 5 draft deferments and then getting classified as not available for military service because of teenage asthma(didn't the Dems give Cheney a lot of shit for his deferment?)

Osama is a joke as far as experience so let's get real here, like Ferraro said so candidly, if he was an all white guy he wouldn't even be in the U.S. Senate. He is only in the candidate slot because he appears to be black enough for Black America to support the potential for the first Black President with at least a 90% voting block. He also appears to the young naive voter because he isn't an "old guy". Sure, he reads a good speech but any lawyer could...... that is what they do..... some speak for good and others use their ability to sell as a way to get rich and keep rapist and murderers out of jail, he, like Edwards would fall in the latter category.

I don't think Obama can win based upon a 90% voting block when many if not most of them are too disorganized to vote. So he'll have to get plenty of white votes as well.

You're right the choices all around are not that great. And now that McCain has made his VEEP choice, the public gets to weigh in on that in Nov. If it has any impact that's democracy at work. And it'll prove the old adage that "anybody can grow up to be President" or at least Vice President.

I am not biased against McCain. If it had come down to him or Hillary I would have voted McCain. I just think he could have made a better choice. Even if he wanted to do something based on race or gender I would have preferred Condi, who is smarter and more experienced than Palin.

John McCain has always been pro-military and takes a tough stand on foreign policy, which is the most important trait for a President. The President isn't a dictator who can force whatever domestic policy he wants, so all the talk about where they stand on the issues, especially on the economy is a moot point. He was always been pro-life and will appoint conservative judges. Although he has been liberal on issues like illegal immigration he does not qualify as a shitbag liberal. True liberals piss on their country and military every chance they get (as Obama has) and push forward their socialist/communist domestic policies (as Obama is).

How about his unconsitutional stances such as McCain/Feingold? The guy hates free speech. And if his foriegn policy continues Bush's nation building horseshit then screw him.

Whether the disclosures regarding Sarah Palin are a diversion or signs of more problems to come, her roll-in is a setback for John McCain, analysts say.

I get it that the timing is alleged to be wrong about the baby that Palin was supposed to have covered for, for her daughter, but what is this business about the girl having mono for seven months????? And then suddenly the mom shows up preggers and announces it at seven months?

That's what some sites are saying, I swear to god.

I'd like to know if it's true this girl was out for, ahem, "mono" for seven months, because lemme tell you ---------------------------

Mono would not have been what it was. Lots of young people get mono, and we soldier on, tired in the evening, sore throats, but that seven months business is hard to believe.

You realize if Palin really plows, McCain is finished, done, kaput.

Remember McGovern? A lot of the reason he was voted down in 49 states including his own was his first bad choice for VP, Thomas Eagleton, who didn't precisely confide his past incarceration in a state mental hospital getting repeated electroconvulsive shock treatment.

This Palin choice (I hope!!) isn't quite THAT bad, but it's worse than I realized ------------- when I complained about it last week I sure didn't expect all this pregnancy business to pop up, and who knows what all is coming next?

<!--NYT_INLINE_IMAGE_POSITION1 --><NYT_TEXT>

— A series of disclosures about Gov. Sarah Palin (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/p/sarah_palin/index.html?inline=nyt-per), Senator John McCain (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/m/john_mccain/index.html?inline=nyt-per)’s choice as running mate, called into question on Monday how thoroughly Mr. McCain had examined her background before putting her on the Republican presidential ticket.
On Monday morning, Ms. Palin and her husband, Todd, issued a statement saying that their 17-year-old unmarried daughter, Bristol, was five months pregnant and that she intended to marry the father.

Among other less attention-grabbing news of the day: it was learned that Ms. Palin now has a private lawyer in a legislative ethics investigation in Alaska into whether she abused her power in dismissing the state’s public safety commissioner; that she was a member for two years in the 1990s of the Alaska Independence Party, which has at times sought a vote on whether the state should secede; and that Mr. Palin was arrested 22 years ago on a drunken-driving charge.

Aides to Mr. McCain said they had a team on the ground in Alaska now to look more thoroughly into Ms. Palin’s background. A Republican with ties to the campaign said the team assigned to vet Ms. Palin in Alaska had not arrived there until Thursday, a day before Mr. McCain stunned the political world with his vice-presidential choice.

Although the McCain campaign said that Mr. McCain had known about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy before he asked her mother to join him on the ticket and that he did not consider it disqualifying, top aides were vague on Monday about how and when [McCain] had learned of the pregnancy, and from whom.

While there was no sign that her formal nomination this week was in jeopardy, the questions swirling around Ms. Palin on the first day of the Republican National Convention (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/r/republican_national_convention/index.html?inline=nyt-org), already disrupted by Hurricane Gustav (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/h/hurricanes_and_tropical_storms/hurricane_gustav/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier), brought anxiety to Republicans who worried that Democrats would use the selection of Ms. Palin to question Mr. McCain’s judgment and his ability to make crucial decisions.

At the least, Republicans close to the campaign said it was increasingly apparent that Ms. Palin had been selected as Mr. McCain’s running mate with more haste than McCain advisers initially described.

Up until midweek last week, some 48 to 72 hours before Mr. McCain introduced Ms. Palin at a Friday rally in Dayton, Ohio, Mr. McCain was still holding out the hope that he could choose a good friend, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/l/joseph_i_lieberman/index.html?inline=nyt-per), independent of Connecticut, a Republican close to the campaign said. Mr. McCain had also been interested in another favorite, former Gov. Tom Ridge (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/r/tom_ridge/index.html?inline=nyt-per) of Pennsylvania.

But both men favor abortion rights, anathema to the Christian conservatives who make up a crucial base of the Republican Party (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/r/republican_party/index.html?inline=nyt-org). As word leaked out that Mr. McCain was seriously considering the men, the campaign was bombarded by outrage from influential conservatives who predicted an explosive floor fight at the convention and vowed rejection of Mr. Ridge or Mr. Lieberman by the delegates.

Perhaps more important, several Republicans said, Mr. McCain was getting advice that if he did not do something to shake up the race, his campaign would be stuck on a potentially losing trajectory.
With time running out — and as Mr. McCain discarded two safer choices, Gov. Tim Pawlenty (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/p/tim_pawlenty/index.html?inline=nyt-per) of Minnesota and former Gov. Mitt Romney (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/r/mitt_romney/index.html?inline=nyt-per) of Massachusetts, as too predictable — he turned to Ms. Palin. He had his first face-to-face interview with her on Thursday and offered her the job moments later. Advisers to Mr. Pawlenty and another of the finalists on Mr. McCain’s list described an intensive vetting process for those candidates that lasted one to two months.

“They didn’t seriously consider her until four or five days from the time she was picked, before she was asked, maybe the Thursday or Friday before,” said a Republican close to the campaign. “This was really kind of rushed at the end, because John didn’t get what he wanted. He wanted to do Joe or Ridge.”

Mark Salter, Mr. McCain’s closest adviser, said in an e-mail message that Ms. Palin had been interviewed by Arthur B. Culvahouse Jr., a veteran Washington lawyer in charge of the vice-presidential vetting process for Mr. McCain, as well as by other lawyers who worked for Mr. Culvahouse. Mr. Salter did not respond to an e-mail message asking if Ms. Palin had told Mr. Culvahouse and his lawyers that her daughter was pregnant.

In Alaska, several state leaders and local officials said they knew of no efforts by the McCain campaign to find out more information about Ms. Palin before the announcement of her selection, Although campaigns are typically discreet when they make inquiries into potential running mates, officials in Alaska said Monday they thought it was peculiar that no one in the state had the slightest hint that Ms. Palin might be under consideration.

“They didn’t speak to anyone in the Legislature, they didn’t speak to anyone in the business community,” said Lyda Green, the State Senate president, who lives in Wasilla, where Ms. Palin served as mayor.
Representative Gail Phillips, a Republican and former speaker of the State House, said the widespread surprise in Alaska when Ms. Palin was named to the ticket made her wonder how intensively the McCain campaign had vetted her.

“I started calling around and asking, and I have not been able to find one person that was called,” Ms. Phillips said. “I called 30 to 40 people, political leaders, business leaders, community leaders. Not one of them had heard. Alaska is a very small community, we know people all over, but I haven’t found anybody who was asked anything.”

“It’s a risk,” said Dan Schnur, a former McCain aide who now directs the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/u/university_of_southern_california/index.html?inline=nyt-org). “No matter how great the candidate, it’s a significant risk to put someone on the ticket” who hasn’t been publicly scrutinized. “They obviously felt it was worth the risk to rev up the base and potentially reach out to Clinton supporters,” Mr. Schnur said.

So McCain wanted Lieberman or Ridge.

But conservatives vowed a bad floor fight to defeat either of them at the convention. And "safe" choices, such as Pawlenty or (IMO not so safe) Romney, would be too boring to bother with in a bad GOP year.

McCain evidently just impulsively decided on Palin!! Liked her looks, maybe. They apparently didn't really vet her at all. She filled out a 70-item form..................................but somehow omitted to mention any of the stuff that is in the headlines now. Uh-huh.

I agree that Pawlenty was terminally boring, and Romney.........is a Mormon, I would never vote for a Mormon myself. Lieberman, for god's sake, is NOT A REPUBLICAN, DOESN'T THAT COUNT FOR ANYTHING????

Ridge would have gotten my vote. For sure. [Sigh]

But this Palin, no. Just way too questionable.

I notice all the Web site polls asking if Palin will get Hillary supporters' votes (like mine) are still running negative ---- no, she won't.

That's not a good sign if McCain chose her specifically to filch Hillary votes from Obama.

The risk John McCain took last Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his F-16 under the Golden Gate Bridge.

McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history. As of now, it is paying off, big-time.

The sensational selection in Dayton, Ohio, stepped all over the big story from Denver – Barack Obama's powerful address to 85,000 cheering folks in Mile High Stadium, and 35 million nationally, a speech that vaulted him from a 2-point deficit early in the week to an 8-point margin. Barack had never before reached 49 percent against McCain.

As the Democrats were being rudely stepped on, however, Palin ignited an explosion of enthusiasm among conservatives, evangelicals, traditional Catholics, gun owners and Right to Lifers not seen in decades.

By passing over his friends Joe Lieberman and Tom Ridge, and picking Palin, McCain has given himself a fighting chance of winning the White House that, before Friday morning, seemed to be slipping away. Indeed, the bristling reaction on the left testifies to Democratic fears that the choice of Palin could indeed be a game-changer in 2008.

Intrade market sees 14.6 pct chance Palin withdrawn

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The online prediction market Intrade sees a 14.6 percent chance Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be withdrawn as the Republican vice presidential nominee before the U.S. presidential election on November 4.

Intrade accepts trades on the probability of events such as whether there will be a recession, whether the U.S. Congress will lift the ban on offshore drilling or whether the United States or Israel will launch a military strike on Iran.

It opened the Palin betting market on Tuesday morning after a series of revelations about the Alaska governor, whom Sen. John McCain chose as his running mate, including that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter was pregnant.

The market opened at 3 percent that she would have to withdraw from the race and rose to a high of 18.9 percent. It fell back to 14.6 percent on 2,729 trades as of 9:52 p.m. EDT (9:52 p.m. EDT) after the Republican Party convention opened in St. Paul, Minnesota.
************************************************** *****

Intrade has also gone over 60% again for Obama winning, as opposed to 39% for McCain. It was below 60% for awhile before all this convention and VP stuff.

Intrade has a better record than the polls.

I would think some of you men wouldn't like her abusing her power to fire some guy she thinks treated her sister bad regardless of law and punishing the commissioner who refused to fire him illegally.



But I guess since it's McCain's running mate, it must be all hunky-dory.

Don't belong in Washington at all. We've got trouble enough with the Republicans doing toe-tapping and soliciting sex from boy pages, we don't need a family of Alaskans constantly threatening to shoot each other.

Yet more coming at us all the time ----


Palin faces questions this month in ethics inquiry, says lawmaker

<!--endclickprintexclude--><!--startclickprintexclude--><!--endclickprintexclude-->(CNN) -- As she takes part in the Republican National Convention with Sen. John McCain, the abuse of power investigation facing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at home is charging ahead, and the governor is expected to be questioned this month, according to the lawmaker overseeing the investigation.
http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/base_skins/baseplate/corner_wire_BL.gif
<!-- /PURGE: /2008/POLITICS/09/02/palin.investigation/art.palin.hug.ap.jpg --><SCRIPT type=text/javascript _extended="true"> var CNN_ArticleChanger = new CNN_imageChanger('cnnImgChngr','/2008/POLITICS/09/02/palin.investigation/imgChng/p1-0.init.exclude.html',2,1);//CNN.imageChanger.load('cnnImgChngr','imgChng/p1-0.exclude.html');</SCRIPT><!--endclickprintexclude-->Palin's attorney is locked in a legal battle with the Alaska legislature, insisting that it does not have "primary jurisdiction" in the matter. The Democratic chairman of the Alaska Senate Judiciary Committee, meanwhile, has threatened subpoenas if Palin doesn't continue to cooperate in organizing witness interviews.

Letters between the two sides show a legal back-and-forth over several sticking points, with the committee chairman saying that Palin's newfound status as McCain's running mate "does not change the steps" the committee is taking and that he requests a "September date for the governor's deposition."

The inquiry boils down to whether Palin used her power to have a state commissioner fired for refusing to dismiss her former brother-in-law from the state police. She has denied any wrongdoing.

Her sudden, unexpected entry into the presidential race has taken the web of characters involved in the dispute and thrust them into the national spotlight.
************************************************** *

The story goes on to say her administration called this state commissioner 20 times about the issue and demanded to know why he hadn't fired him yet.

She'll lose.

Sounds like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre to me.

I do remark on Obama, I think, though I'm not sure it's defensible to just whale away furiously at both sides. That's why I don't show up here too often ------ I'm negative about this election, I'm not willing to vote for either at this point.

I'm definitely not voting for Obalamabama under any circumstances, so I think of that as finished business.

But the reason I'm so angry right now (you all did notice that, right?) is that I was hoping for a reason to vote for McCain, namely Tom Ridge, whom I respect. MAYBE Lieberman, but VP pick in both a Dem and a GOP campaign? That's just weird. Or darn, even Pawlenty!! He's boring, but boredom never killed anyone.

And I'm disappointed. I'm doing a Harriet Miers like William Kristol did, he just erupted in total rejection and worked day and night till he got Bush to withdraw her. I can't do all that, I'm just a citizen instead of a rich neo-con, but now I understand how he felt.

I feel the office has been DISRESPECTED. McCain put up a BIMBO, a beauty pageant type with a family in total, redneck chaos! This disrespects the office of vice president, of president, and also disrespects American women. It implies that as long as she's eye candy, that's all that matters: otherwise, she can be dumb as a post and have no experience, except in hunting mooses. Meese. Whatever.

"To find that Mr. Kilpatrick did abuse the powers of his office, Ms. Granholm said she needed only to be persuaded to a point that she found 'sufficient' given the evidence presented. She did not define what sufficient evidence would be, other than to say that it would be enough to satisfy 'an unprejudiced mind seeking the truth.' "

"In opening remarks Wednesday, Granholm said she would consider only two issues: whether Kilpatrick, as mayor, authorized the settlements to further his 'personal and private interests,' and whether he concealed information that council members should have had in reviewing and approving the settlements.

Johnny's got a new girl
Posted: September 02, 2008
5:55 pm Eastern

© 2008
The risk John McCain took last Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his F-16 under the Golden Gate Bridge.

McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history. As of now, it is paying off, big-time.

The sensational selection in Dayton, Ohio, stepped all over the big story from Denver – Barack Obama's powerful address to 85,000 cheering folks in Mile High Stadium, and 35 million nationally, a speech that vaulted him from a 2-point deficit early in the week to an 8-point margin. Barack had never before reached 49 percent against McCain.

As the Democrats were being rudely stepped on, however, Palin ignited an explosion of enthusiasm among conservatives, evangelicals, traditional Catholics, gun owners and Right to Lifers not seen in decades.

By passing over his friends Joe Lieberman and Tom Ridge, and picking Palin, McCain has given himself a fighting chance of winning the White House that, before Friday morning, seemed to be slipping away. Indeed, the bristling reaction on the left testifies to Democratic fears that the choice of Palin could indeed be a game-changer in 2008.

Pandering to the Christian right for votes because he knows the conservative base ain't gonna turn out for him in big numbers because he's a fucking lib like Osama.

Funny thing though is its beginning to bite him in the ass, first off evangelicals, hardcore evangelicals are already beginning to question the wisdom in choosing a woman who talks a good game but her own underage daughter is a knocked up teen.......which speaks to Johnny Lib's ability to make good decisions, and it don't speak good, he should've discovered this skeleton and tossed Mrs. Wasilla aside.

OCA
09-03-2008, 03:25 PM
She isn't underage in Alaska, the age of consent is 16. Control her daughter???? What planet do you live on. My girlfriend and I were very active sexually at 16 and that was in 1970 when the Beatles were cutting edge, today they are aware at 125 in the black and hispanic communities. This is a bunch of crap and you should know that.

It don't fucking matter what the age of consent is, you know as well as I do that at 16 you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. Thing is, mommy should've been taking care of business in the family instead of trying to play political bigshot and firing people to pay off family debts.

BTW I do want Obama to win, its the only way to move the Republican party back to where it belongs..........right of center. Its a tough move but one that will reap fruit in the end.

So McCain picks a running mate that is right of center and your complaining?

She's the start needed to move the party to the right and you want to hand the country to obamanation. Kinda like burning your house down cause you don't like your neighbors.

What do you expect from someone who says he couldn't tell his ass from a hole in the ground when he was 16?

Yeah, it kinda does. Like it or not, people see the way your children act and see that as a reflection of your parenting skills. We all do it all the time, if you are in the store and there is some kid in there running his piehole talking back to his parents etc. etc. we all think "gee what the fuck is wrong with this kid and what the hell is wrong with his parents", and vice versa, we see a well behaved kid and we think what a wonderful job his parents have done.

i disagree...if the kid is continually running around the store, that shows lack of discipline if the parent does nothing. but to counsel your child against pre-marital sex, etc... and then to have that child commit that act, is not a sign of bad parenting. what are you doing to do as the parent follow the child everywhere, insert a gps unit under the skin? kids have free will oca, they are not slaves or robots.

i don't think cheney is any less of a person or conservative because his daughter is gay, do you? i guess so.

I think that Dick didn't take the bull by the horns if you know what I mean. Screw that free will shit, sure they can develop their own trains of thought and views but under my roof unless its something I agree with they won't be acting upon these things.

No, at 15-16, I was holding down a 50-plus hour a week job, donating nearly all my earnings towards family expenses, while maintaining a grade average that got me into the national honor society and two congressional nominations to the AF Academy.

Its not about whether she's a good girl or not, we've strayed, its about that her mother talks publicly about family values for others but can't even keep her own house in order.

it is not a deflection, that you won't answer shows you know i have a point

i suppose that any teacher, pastor, whatnot who does not have a perfect home life, is not perfect spiritually or maybe only got c's in college, highshool...should never be allowed to preach or teach

i made out heavily with the pastors daughter and he told her that she could only go as far as kissing a man before, and preferably not, until they married, she went further...i guess that pastor should not preach to us about anything...

why can't you answer a simple question?

if you do believe in jesus, he does not want us to sin, but we do, so jesus obviously must not be omnipotent because his followers sin, he obviously must be an unworthy 'god' and has no business running the universe when he can't control one little tiny planet
