Question of the day Let's say, you consider yourself a righteous, red-blooded, patriotic American and let's assume that you are so. In fact, the word of your righteousness spread and McCain invites you to join him as his running mate. Knowing exactly what that meant: throwing away all your principles and turning into a McCain surrogate, defending McCain views that you used to oppose, having to read speeches written by McCain speech writers, etc., etc. Would you accept McCain's invitation? I assume that the answer is 'no' because no righteous, red-blooded, patriotic American would agree to help McCain gain access to the nuclear buttons, among other things. Now, here's the question: what do you think of Sarah's enthusiastic embrace of McCain? Place it within the context of your rejection of such an offer.

I'd have to tell McCain that he gets ALL of my political convictions if he wants me. But then, he wouldn't invite me to be his running mate in the first place because he'd already know that I'm a stubborn individualist. Maybe Sarah Palin feels she can make a small difference in D.C. with her independent streak???
If she can retain 1% of the fire that burns in her belly and acts on it, THAT would be CHANGE.
Bingo!
I'm sending my 19 year old son to kill but I want you to know I'm pro-life ....jeez!
The poor kid thinks he should be proud of what he's about to do: he even thinks he's going to be fighting for his own people.
Well, it is a free country and he's free to believe whatever he wants. If he wants to go into the military, fine. The option is open as it should be. We'll see if he learns....
Something tells me the 19 year-old has never heard of the Likud or the "Clean Break" paper.
Give him a few years. The one good thing about him going is that, assuming McCain is elected, there will be a "White House son" at war. Isn't that what we've been saying? Send the politicians' kids?
I believe that Biden's son is on his way. to Iraq as well.
Good! Now, where is Obama's contribution? We'll wait, but one is expected.
What are you talking about? Just because Bush is sending good Americans to a senseless war it means that everyone should stampede in that direction? I promise you, none of my sons will go to no stupid war if I can help it.
I'm talking about something you don't understand. Freedom. If someone WANTS to join the military, who the hell are you to get in their way and tell them how to run their life?
Sorry, friend. I have no problem with anyone joining some mercenary force. As for our military, it would be good if it was actually defending (do you understand 'defending') our country. In fact, I would encourage my kids to volunteer for service if our military was defending us from invaders. And, I believe, you were rhetorically asking about Obama's contribution to Bush's stupid war. It seems to me that it's you who seems to believe that everyone should stampede like a heard of stupid cows, wherever Bush tells them to stampede. That's not exactly FREEDOM (you capped it first).
Well, you certainly raised an objection to that kind of freedom. Are you OK tonite?
I did? I only noted that the Bush's war are stupid and, I am adding now, wasteful of life and resources. I believe it was you objecting the fact that Obama wasn't 'contributing' to Bush's war.
First off, its not Bush's war alone. Congress has to fund it. For details on how this works, please see the US Constitution. Secondly, I made a comment that most of us would like our politicians to send their kids off to war if they are going to decide to have one. Since McCain already went to war, Palin and Biden are sending kids, where is Obama's contribution since he IS a sitting Senator and HAS voted TO FUND the war? That's my question and I stand by it.
Obummer hasn't contributed anything of substance to America all his life, let alone this or any previous "war".
McCain is within 22 votes of taking the nomination and everyone is PASSING right now and refusing to cast their votes. This is VERY interesting. They seem to be waiting on Arizona.

That is the norm........so that the home state can put the candidate over the top. ITs bullhockey, but they do it as a 'show' of uniformity, conformity, or unity.......some bullshit excuse.
Did you notice they allowed no vote totals for other candidates, i.e., Paul gets 2 and someone else did as well, but they said 30 votes for McCain. I noticed it again with West Va's vote total. They just totally ignored other candidates votes and included them in the total for the pow hater.
