His VP choice of Sarah Palin brings up real questions about his judgment. It seems he only picked her because she's a woman. I think this is very insulting to Hillary supporters, the fact that she acts like she's carrying the torch for women when she didn't work nearly as hard as Clinton to get there. The fact that he picked her when he knew about scandals like wanting to fire her ex brother -in-law and the pregnancy of her daughter. I know the pregnancy isn't politics related, but the fact that John McCain knew about it but still picked her shows some bad decision making. Also she has no foreign policy or economic experience. Most of all, John McCain has had cancer several times and there is a possibility of him dying in office.If John McCain died, do you think Sarah Palin would actually be ready to lead????

  1. You have the right to support anyone you want!  


  2. I completely agree with you. Although I am a democrat, I truly respected McCain up until now; however, his solely political pick of Palin has disillusioned me about his commitment to his country.

    Obama/Biden 08!

  3. Whatever faith you had must have been superficial.  Faith should be in the party platform in terms of politics.  Nobody is perfect, yet both McCain and Palin stand for our platform.

    I hope you are smart enough to see through the illusion speeches of Obama that severely depart from reality.  His delivery and faked conviction is so powerful that many are swayed to believing what he says, even without question.  Obama is everything to everybody and will do all things the way they ought to be done...and I have this beautifully running Chevy Vega to sell you too.

    Dig deep...question...and you will see through his rhetoric to a vast black hole.  He represents the real American...nevermind the 20 years of dedication and influence with his crazy pastor. Everyone will get a tax break...except those who worked hard and actually are financially reaping the benefits -- you make it, you will pay -- its better to accept the checks from Uncle Obama and the Democrats than work hard and succeed.

    Obama = socialism...exactly what America and capitalism defeated under Reagan.  This is a very dangerous election, for the left have a seemingly powerful advocate to smooth talk their ideas.  About 80 years ago another individual wooed a nation who felt defeated and going down the wrong path.  They worshiped him until they realized how they murdered over 2 million Jews.  Obama is not Hitler, but we ought to be wary of the same tactics.  This is a very dangerous election for America.

  4. I just read a news article that implicitly shows McCain 100% behind Palin's views on:  Anti-abortion, anti-birth control, and anti-s*x education.  He picked he because they are a matched set.

    I just wonder if he used contraceptives with all the women he cheated with in both of his marriages.  If so, doesn't that create a double standard?  If not, how many illegitimate children does he have in this world?

  5. So if Obama would have picked Hillary then that would have been brilliant, right?  I don't get the thinking there.  Hillary is a liberal; How is that insulting to her supporters that a Republican picked a Republican.  They should vote on principal and beliefs.  Obama had his chance.  Blame him for not choosing Hillary.  Isn't that an insult?  

    Hillary has no more experience delegating anything than anyone else in Congress.  And Obama has 143 days in the senate.  So on the depth chart Palin is #1 when it comes to having to make actual decisions and not being a part of a committee or group that creates a bill or passes legislature, that later shares blame or responsibility after the fact.  The main reason for her being picked was to help shore up the base.  McCain really needed a person that would bring conservative values back to the table and not have doubts about whether he sits in the fence on issues like abortion, energy, taxes, etc.  And she is a fresh face on the scene.  There would be a lot of c**p said about any other pick he made.  A lot of conservatives believed that he was more moderate before this pick.  It's just a bonus she's female.  Keep this in mind too; if she was liberal she would make her daughter get an abortion instead of taking responsibility for her actions.  Her daughter and the father are getting married and doing the right thing.  Obama would not "Burden" his daughters.  I mean why be tied down by a "Baby".  And just think if Hillary got back in the White House.  Military would become useless again, taxes will go up, Hillary Care would bankrupt us even faster  (all of this will happen with Obama anyway).  So let's just hope that McCain does win.  If not we are up a creek.

  6. Your question brought up a couple of questions I would like for you to answer:

    1. I thought that Obama said "hands off family matters" what gives?

    2. Exactly how much foregin policy does Obama have?

    3. What do you mean she has no "economic experience"? She was the GOVERNOR OF ALASKA for crying out loud and while she was there, do you remember Congress passing the statute that gave Alaska Federal money to build a "bridge to NOWHERE?" and do you remember that she promptly said "NO THANK YOU!!!"

    and last but not least:

    4. John McCain's SKIN CANCER? Let's be clear here. John McCain has just as little chance of dying in office as anybody else in this world.

    If worst case happens I feel confident that Gov Palin would be a FINE COMMANDER IN CHIEF!

    BTW, you don't fool anybody, I know exactly where YOU are coming from. You're one of those jaded Hillary supporters who are just mad that she didn't recreate 68! All of those questions are being asked about Obama and you're just mad that Palin has better cred's!

    ***

    I concur: You may not be a Hillary supporter but will never believe that you've ever had faith in McCain, either way, you're holding Palin to a double standard!

  7. Your not the only one, some people in my office today were saying how its so obvious why he picked her and are unsure of whether they will still vote for him because of it.  They are not happy with his choice.

  8. You do not have to preface you question with the statement that you have lost faith in McCain due to the fact that you are not smart enough to cover the fact that you are an Obama supporter.

  9. McCain made a bold choice. He had to.

    You are lying to say you just made your mind up. The way you posed your question is right out of the democrat talking points.

    Her experience is equal to Obama. He's just campaigned for the job longer.


  10. I've lost my faith in politics. Period.
