Have Gun, Will Travel. Sarah Palin a Good VP pick?

[Yeager]

I tend to peruse quickly through the intense stuff, my attention suffers much past the 5th or 6th line....

I like the authors who get to the point quickly, with wit and confidence.

Really.....how is she self destructing? Troopergate has been an ongoing deal since before she became McCain's running mate, it just made national news for the rest of us is all. Her daughter being pregnant is a family matter and shouldn't have even been made public. Her firing of the police chief of Wasilla is a non issue since the judicial system in Alaska said she was well within her legal authority as Mayor to fire him, or anyone else that worked for the city.

What am I missing?

Your missing the entire point, she has been the VP choice for what, less then a week and this has gone right to defending her with very little effort put into attacking her. Wait til the real deal starts and all you hear is about this woman and her issues.

wait til the real political slime machine gets cranked up, this was a bad choice for VP. Either they didn't look to deeply into her or they just weren't thinking what was going to happen. either way they are going to spend alot of time dealing with this, and being asked questions, and disproving accusations true or not ,it's going to kill them.

That's what I mean by self destructing, and if you can't see that, i think you are missing something.

Every bit of this stuff is minor, non of it is even close to deal killing.

It's actually a pretty sad attempt at smearing her really. As soon as she was named as McCain's running mate it was inevitable that every little thing that could be considered negative about her would start to surface.

Ya know, in less than a week, I've learned more about her than I've learned about Barack in 2 years....wonder why that is....

you are new too this so I'll "splain" it too you,, she is a  "republican" , she needs to have things for the media too look at in a bad light! if she didn't they would start making this crap up, or telling you how dumb she is!
this way she has nothing too hide, it's all there on the table, you just have too decide if it is relevant?

 

Ya know, in less than a week, I've learned more about her than I've learned about Barack in 2 years....wonder why that is....

   exactly!

why are the media not comparing this to the fact the oboma was born to an 18 year old unwed mother/polygamist father?
why are they not talking about oboma's brother who lives in poverty, while he talks about helping family first
sitting in his million dollar mansion?

why are they not focusing on the fact that Mrs Palin has a son about to go to Iraq?
why do they not tell you that John McCain has too son's that either have been or are serving?
why do they not tell you that  the McCains buy and sell investment property for profit instead of gluttony as oboma would have you believe?

funniest thing i have seen in a while was last night on T.V.. (poor poor Katie down on bourbon st.)
the RNC gave up its broadcast time to the networks for fundraising for the hurricane!
 ABC, tried to go out and find republicans that were going to parties sponsered by big oil
 i bet that really helped out the displaced poeple of N.O.
i didn't see NBC doing any major hit peices on Mrs Palin but they did talk about the pregnancy.

CBS in its wisdom did a hit piece on Mrs. Palin!
 a good 15 minutes or more dedicated to talking trash about this woman and her daughter
even tho oboma asked them , and all of you to leave this thing alone?

That just tells me the hit the Democrats took when she was chosen. 

BTW, any one have an urge to go caribou hunting?

[lazs2]

the reason we have learned more about her in a week than we ever knew about osamabama and..   for that matter... biden.. is because..

They are old news.. one has burned out his rock star status and the other is a buffoon that is pretty boring.

The angst of the left is palpable.

newbie..   where have I seen your tactics before?  you know.. the one where you lose a debate so you just declare everyone else to dumb to get it?

Probably because you don't care for him and didn't bother.

For the record, I'm not a democrat or a Republican.

I don't care for either McCain or Obama.

The problem with this country is our locked in two party system that kills any attempt at a third party or any independent running for major office. The two party system insures that nothing will change and kills independent thought outside the goals of the two party's. The federal government has become the monster that can not be fed. The most important goal of both party's is to put as many of their people into the government as possible by whatever means they can. The federal government was meant to act as a sort of "UN" a means of coordinating mutual defence and providing a single voice to the world at large, it was meant to serve the states not overpower them.

The only point i was making in regards to Palin is that she was a poor choice in that the only thing she really brings to the table is that she is female. The baggage that she brings with her news worthy or not will follow McCain thru to the end and beyond should he win. If anything it makes me question his judgement.

In Obamas case, Republicans have alot of nerve crying foul over coverage of Palins issues in as much as they have tryed to paint him as everything from a Muslim to a Marxist. Both party's are quick to leave debate behind in favor of insults half truths and personal attacks.

The fact of the matter is alot of Americans are tired of voting against someone rather then for someone. Picking the lesser of two evils is no way to run a nation.

Now you can draw whatever conclusions you have about me or my views and let your insults fly (this comment not directed at "bj") People of both party's need to stop following like sheep and start asking solid relevant questions as to how their candidates plan on running our country and not allow such nonsense as these personal smear campains to continue.

just my 9 cents, keep the change.

I think she brings more to the table than any of the other 3 'tards combined. She is pro 2nd amendment, is tough on corruption (even within her own party) and has the guts to stand up to corporations. She believes public office is about serving the people and not serving your own self interests. She is also a whole lot better looking than all of the rest of them combined.

 Yanks, the BBS are no place for the truth!   

[john9001]

the liberal media is in full attack mode, now they are saying she should stay at home and take care of the kids. They are afraid, very afraid.

[SlapShot]

Lard you know as well as I do that if Chelsy Clinton had gotten pregnant unmarried and under 18 the Republicans would have been screaming bloody murder. They would have been yelling and screaming about family values and the whole nine yards. This whole thing just shows how much of hypocrites people like Palin are. They preach their family values and all that stuff claiming their way is better yet they end up in the same shoes and everyone else.

I am however amazed you managed to make a post with out claiming something was socialist. However you did get the liberal whine in so I guess it's always one or the other.. 

Had Chelsy gotten pregnant ... it wouldn't have even registered as a blip on the radar screen in light of Bill's indiscretions in the Oval Office with Monica and the "cigar" ... along with the follow on investigation where Bill said ... "ummm, I didn't have sex with her ... she had sex with me". What a tool.

You should really look up the definition of "hypocrite" ...

a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

The actions of Palin's daughter (or any of their kids) DOES NOT make them hypocrites. Palin has HER beliefs and there is nothing showing that she doesn't live them or live up to them.

[REP0MAN]

I don't think Obama had much of a choice there. Palin's daughter had a choice, his mother has had choices, but the still unborn child didn't have a say on any of their choices.

Good thing Obama's mother didn't think a child was a "punishment". Well, good for him I guess.
