btw, i'm sure bill and hill are delighted with mccain's choice of vp. for the 2008 election. what they don't anticipate is how formidable an opponent Sarah Barracuda will be by the time 2012 or 2016 rolls around. just think, fellas...... a good looking VP who can hunt, fish, and cook. what more could the american male voter want? smart move, john mccain, smart move.  |

Daily Kos, the HuffPo... what ever talking point factory the source is, five seconds of fact checking refutes the attempt to spin. Were you aware Mink that Mr. Palin is also a member of the Steelworkers Union? And both he and the oldest son (the one in the Army) are registered to vote as "Independent" and not Republican? The far left is going batty trying to find some little piece of dirt, any little piece of dirt, that they can try to hang on Palin. In fact the Kos-sacks are coming up with things based solely on imagination and innuendo in trying to smear Palin... such as insinuating that her most recent pregnancy was a cover for her oldest daughter. This is the most vile stuff, and should be pretty easily disproven. It's so despicable that even the Kos-sacks themselves are calling for the story to be pulled down. So just in case they do pull it down, here is more about it at NewsBusters.This is your side at work Mink. These are your people, fellow "progressives" practicing the politics of personal destruction. Thanks for all the links Big Dog on Palin, the more we know the better....not that I would vote for her. As for the Dems looking for anything they can on her, isn't that what "your people" did to Obama? and now Biden? Politics, if you're going to get into it, be ready! |

A hunter, fisherwoman and cook for VP is a smart move? No doubt, he save his "Maverick" image, but wouldn't you want to know more on how she stands on issues? She just may run the country should anything happen to mccain and I'm not sure hunting, fishing, cooking or good looks,is what the country needs. |

Thanks for all the links Big Dog on Palin, the more we know the better....not that I would vote for her.Why not? Uhhhhhh... what planet have you been living on? The Republicans have barely laid a glove on Mr. Obama as yet. Mrs. Clinton, a fellow Democrat, along with Senator Biden himself early in the campaign, had been attacking Obama and keeping the sleaze guns pumping. Hillary did a lot more damage to him early on than the Republicans ever could have or would have at that stage. Where do you think the Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger business got started? And the background on L'affaire Rezko? Not from Republicans Mink, but from his own political kind. While you are right in noting that one has to be willing to get knocked around in politics, there is a very clear rule that the opposing sides pretty much leave each other alone other than high level talking points until after the conventions. Now that the campaign will begin in earnest, start looking for the heavy barrages... although I'm not sure how they're going to smear Palin. She is about as squeaky clean as one can be in this day and age from all appearances. |

I exalt you for that take... perfect and dead on target!!!! Harpman: great post. So how does one "exalt" on this forum? All I got was another screen on Harpman, and I didn't want to know his "personals", just wanted to say "Right on". |

She just may run the country should anything happen to mccain and I'm not sure hunting, fishing, cooking or good looks,is what the country needs. What is so kewl is that McC's wife is rich, good looking, AND owns a beer company! What more is needed? Well, glad you asked: Sara, if you're ever widowed, and so am I, do you want another rough hewn, solid man, cause I am available, but only because I am in love with you! Lived in Alaska, so I know that frontier spirit better than most down below. You busted your own political party hacks, you busted your own no-good, taser shooting (his son!) brother-in- law, and then fired the top cop that didn't respond appropriately. I like to eat moose AND bear, and enjoy suns that don't set for 6 months too. More time to snow mobile and hunt. And as for organizational experience!? Any woman who can mother 5 children, keep a house, and have a nice looking, well behaved family is not JUST A MOM, but an organizational, no-nonsense, whip cracking genius of great experience and qualifications to run a bunch of bureaucrats & politicians. They'd be easy after what you've done. It is clear, you set priorities, announce expectations, mandate appropriate behavior in achievement, are clear on goals, and guide your underlings towards what is right! You ARE qualified, and besides, you will sit, watch and learn as VP, while getting the good word out. You go, girl. And SOMEDAY, YOU WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY. THAT IS A GUARANTEE, young lady. |

Maybe it shows that she isn't a professional politician and has some hands on, real life skills, can think for herself, care for herself and others, is confident enough in herself to BE herself instead of making herself over for each special interest group. Says a lot about character to me. Beats the hell out of Barry "Yeah, I'm here today but afraid to take a stand" Obama and Six Term Cereal Joe Biden. (only good thing I can say about Biden is that he doesn't seem at first glance to have become fantastically rich from his almost 36 years in the Senate). |

Well, it is good to see you support Mccain /Palin, but I am quite surprised at what little experience she does have is acceptable. For months, all I have heard is what little, if any experience Obama has, yet you embrace Palin without question, knowing she has little to none. As for her character, many women throughout our history fit the same mold, yet have never been given the credit much less attention. No doubt, giving birth and raising children has been overlooked as spectacular, however,I hardly call that criteria for such a high office. |

She is about as squeaky clean as one can be in this day and age from all appearances. Why I won't vote for Mccain/Palin? I have never voted Republican and this team doesn't give me reason to start. Speaking of which planet I was on, maybe you have been on another one. Although Obama had been criticized by his own party during the primaries, what's new about that? Remember the hard bashing bush gave mccain in the 2000 Republican primaries? It is par for the course. The Republicans, (Limbaugh, O'Reilly) have been poking at Obama since they saw that he had followers early on in the primaries. In fact, they wanted Clinton to win, thinking she'd be an easy attack with all her and Bill's baggage. As for Palin being squeaky clean, that maybe somewhat possible, however she has no experience. She does have opinions and that will all come out real soon. Democrats aren't quite as nasty as Republicans in presidential elections, and I'm sure the target will be Mccain. |

Gee, Mink. Palin has about two years in an execs chair as Gov. of AK. as opposed to Barry with 140-some days as a debater in a legislative body, which one has more executive experience? Hell, she has more exec experience than Biden! Yeah, Cereal Joe has 36 YEARS sucking at the public teat in the senate where he gets to debate and pass the buck but doesn't really get put in the hot seat and make a decision.
Plus, she had character and integrety out the wazoo. Isn't beholdin' to anyone it seems. Unlike Barry and Joe who have ties to all sorts of special interests.

Yeah, right. Remember the crap they put out when Reagan was running?
and GHW Bush?
and GW Bush?
Tell us another one.

i was just cruising the forum to see what was new but i had to login and respond after seeing this stuff: that's your answer? seriously? you're kidding, right? the only reason you won't vote republican is because you have never done so before? they've got you hook, line, and sinker. and obama does??? she's got more experience in her little finger than your presidential nominee. aside from being a city councilwoman, mayor, and governor, she still found time to pop out 5 kids. your presidential nominees greatest claim to fame is having been a community organizer? pulheeeze! and aside from being on a few senate committees (debate teams), what has biden done? best laugh i've had all day! thanks, mink.  |

This team does not give me a reason to start and that is key! In 1992, I didn't vote Dem, and I'd be nuts to vote Republican, because I fon't agree with the party, so I voted Perot. ________________________________________________ Quote:As for Palin being squeaky clean, that maybe somewhat possible, however she has no experience. and obama does??? she's got more experience in her little finger than your presidential nominee. aside from being a city councilwoman, mayor, and governor, she still found time to pop out 5 kids. your presidential nominees greatest claim to fame is having been a community organizer? pulheeeze! and aside from being on a few senate committees (debate teams), what has biden done? I'm sorry, but having kids isn't an executive office prerequisite and as far as experience, why is she an unknown? I'm wondering what the folks up in Alaska have to say about her Alaskan experience.  _________________________________________________ Your welcome, you guys are full of laughs too ;D |
