FallingOsh 0 #126 August 30, 2008 Quote Another difference: As opposed to his opponent McCain is 72 with various health problems - so the competence of the VP to become the leader of the free world is really a non-trivial consideration. McCain is in fine health. The dem VP suffers from multiple brain aneurysms. Obama dies, the VP has an aneurysm, Pilosi takes over. I wish there was a smiley that threw up on itselft. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingOsh 0 #127 August 30, 2008 Quote politicians have always counted on a sizable percentage of ideologically narrow voters. That pretty much sums up Obama. Maybe not narrow.

Ron 7 #128 August 30, 2008 QuoteYep, said over a year ago, back when Obama had less experience in government (but still much more than Palin.) And what has he done in the last year that has given him more exp? Enough that his own VP now thinks he can lead on day one? QuoteGood thing McCain chose a VP with even less than that! Yeah, good thing that Palin is only running for VP, huh? I find it very funny that you bash McCains VP choice for not having enough exp, yet ignore McCain has much more than Obama...Ya know, the people running for the top job."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anti-gun people tell us that we should forget about voting based on the gun issue, because "no one's ever gonna try to take your guns away." (They tell us this even though powerful people avow that this is exactly what they want.) But let one of us tell liberals that they don't have anything to fear from a creationist (I am vehemently unbelieving of the creation myth, by the way) and they act as though there's been a repeal of the 1st Amendment proposed.

TheAnvil 0 #136 August 30, 2008 I might place a wager on that, actually. I think pretty soon those pouncing on Palin's lack of experience will realize that just a few days ago they were defending Obama's lack of experience. Then they'll wonder - what the fuck??? Those roaring about Palin's lack of foreign policy experience will not Senator Obama's inexperience prior to his overseas trip and the fact that El Jefe Clintonista lacked any foreign policy experience as well prior to taking the top job. Senator Palin just had the Canadians sign a NICE deal for Alaska. Did EJC or B. Hussein Obama ever interact with foreign countries as a Senator/Governor for economic purposes of their states? No? Ahh...I see... I really think this will be a master-stroke for JSM. Hope so, at any rate. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Destruction of the First Amendment by a fundamentalist Christian administration would remove the obstacle to establishing a state religion, Quade. It would also enable control of the press, which is another bugaboo that the Left insists the Right is after (despite the fact that it's the Left that really has infiltrated the press). Just because the religious Right is religious doesn't mean you could discount the idea that they'd want to eliminate the 1st Amendment if they were in the power seat at the time.Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdlike 0 #139 August 30, 2008 Quote a rough analogy to Sarah Palin would be Sheila Dixon, major of Balitmore, Maryland. Balitimore and Alaska have almost the same population. Both are women. Both assumed office only about 20 months ago. Both are relatively young Smaller differences: Socio-economic problems in Baltimore are likely a lot more difficult than in Alaska, and Dixon is a bit older with a number more previous public offices. Socio-economic problems in Baltimore are also not even remotely close to being SOLVED, so what's the point of throwing up the "experience" of a woman who's been accomplishing nothing to fix them? You have to admit that either she's not trying, or she's trying and failing. Either way, no one to boast about.Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky... 0 #141 August 30, 2008 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteIn terms of qualifications, she only needs one ...will she increase the chances of getting McCain elected. I think the GOP made a good, strategic choice. I think he could have gotten more mileage out of other women in the GOP. This one is Qualye like. I'm not sure too many bitter Clinton fans want a woman that badly. Right, woman = good choice. Cheerleader ho-bag = bad choice. That was the most important selection this year, as McSame is on his deathbed and swing voters will worry that barbie bar whore could be the one. Damn you show alot of respect for women eh? Is there anything else about her being hot looking, conservative, a gun owner, educated, and successful, that you find repulsive? I do respect women, I think selecting a woman was the right choice, just not that one, which makes me happy the R is imploding still. As for repulsive, isn't her party affiliation enough?

Just like when Gore ran against your cokehead in 2000, it was all about the military experience. That changed when the same cokehead ran against Kerry in 04, a guy who had been to war in VN, the war chickenshit cockehead ran away from, then the military experience was downplayed.

birdlike 0 #150 August 30, 2008 Saying that one feels that someone is "full of shit" (as in, saying things that are unbelievable and preposterous) is a PA? Well, if it is, I'll restate, and avoid saying it like that in the first place. I really don't see how that's a PA, though. It's not attacking the person, it's attacking the thing that was said. I'm not looking to get banned, so if you feel attacked, I'm sorry. I just was going for what you said. Clearly, all I expressed was the emphatic equivalent of, "You guys TALK about wanting 'change,' but when it comes down to it, when change is offered, you don't actually want it, do you."Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
