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.

Rudy will say that the theorists are getting closer and closer but McCain and Sarah are going to chase them away.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Why should the non-landed be able to 'sock it to' the landowners? Ever heard my story about a guy that owns 1,000 acres. Sells 10 to his brother. At voting time, their votes offset each other. Brother gets mad at the older brother so he sells off 5 acres to his best friend, who drinks like a fish. He convines the buddy to vote as he does.......they saddled the bigger landowner with a huge debt (for schools or infrastructure or whatever), then they sell out to someone else and take off for parts unknown. Older bro then has to sell off in order to get out from under the taxes he has to pay because of the brother and his drinking buddy. No land, no vote. At least not in my perfect world.
Naw, then you drop a second provision in. You only get to vote on taxes you will be paying. Think cigarette taxes would ever go up? Property taxes? Excise taxes on liquor? An evil idea, I know, but it lets people volunteer to open their wallets, which is as it should be.

Giuliani on Obama: "he worked as a community organizer" Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
I would not turn down the offer, under the currents events.. John is 72, has has 4 goes with cancer.. So the VP will have greater power, either now or in the near future.. I would smile at John and as soon as he goes, and I take over.. Look out assholes, the wish to take down my country.. As no matter what was done in the mean time to America.. I would pull all stops to un-do it.. (and most likely die doing it) But I know that there would be one to take my place (as I would have my choice of veep), once the shit hits the fan..
This is a very sensible decision and this is what most people do. This is how corruption begins and this is only the first step. I saw former good friends of mine beginning to walk on that path and there was no way to backtrack later and there was no way they could stop.

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???
Never forget: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Giuliani being a great little nazi tonight in front of thousands of drunk white guys and gals
That is why, one must ALWAYS remember their History.. for without that lesson.. one falls for the same thing, as the person before them.. I pray that I will always remember, where and how I got here.. (if not, someone slap me upside the head!!!!!)
He is a good speaker. I give him that.

Oooops... back to the terroristic thing. Let's all be very afraid for a couple of minutes. Troops, surge, America, Iraq, Islamic, terrorism, war, war, war, You Ess Hey, Al Quaida, Ben Laden. Holy cows!!! Obama no longer favors an undivided Jerusalem and that should piss Biden.

If she can retain 1% of the fire that burns in her belly and acts on it, THAT would be CHANGE.

Giuliani: McCain said "we are all Georgians". I suppose that qualifies him for president of the USA. Obama... he said that maybe both sides could share some blame.

This is where he screws up big time and proves how out of touch he is when it comes to the events in Georgia spewing the bullshit about Russia attacking this small democracy...anyone buying into this crap is a complete moron and it seems there are thousands of them in attendance
It's "Ich bin ein Berliner!!!" all over again
Well... we're all buying into it. Condi just announced one billion in aid to Georgia so, nolens, volens, we're gonna pay for Shaka Khan's mistakes.

The crowd seems to think that their signs should look like this: "A leader, for a change." - Jimmy Carter, 1976 campaign slogan. Sound familiar? Here it comes again!
Bingo!
Her voice is not as squeaky as it was when she was introduced. She also sounds a bit more programmed, reciting McCain's slogans - rather lose an election than lose a stupid and wasteful war. His wish may be granted. Let's see if she talks about her little pregnant daughter - does anyone remember the GOPs deriding them 'children having children' and the 35 yr. old grannies?

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.
Kill for Christ and country, dammit!
He's killing for Jesus!!

Hmmmm... Sarah is getting nasty. Maybe she really believes that she's was picked for her talents.

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....

I'm not going to Washington to serve the media I'm going to Washington to serve the zionists
Something tells me the 19 year-old has never heard of the Likud or the "Clean Break" paper.
I'm thinking she just might kick Plugs Biden's ass, which is always fun to watch.
Yes America has become what it has always despised
Let's see if the speech writer wrote anything about that famous bridge to nowhere, now that, it turns out, she was for it before she opposed it. Yep, she did have the bridge and she lied about it. She said 'thanks but no thanks but she did take the money'. And, of course, she was for it before she was against it.

She says she turned government around in Alaska so that it's for the people. But for some reason, they need a Mexican embassy.
LOL - CNN just took a shot form behind her, showing the speech rolling on the teleprompter.

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.

I'm turning off the speech. I can't take any more.
Good! Now, where is Obama's contribution? We'll wait, but one is expected.

She speaks with clenched teeth. She's not a good person. I can see the Hillary in her.
