Is it safe to say that McCain made an excellent choice with Palin?

Question

Because people seem to be jumping through flaming hoops to spread lies and nonsense about her. Not to mention the 12 dozen or so questions posted in the past 5 minutes saying she doesn't have enough experience to be president. Which is a little hypocritical coming from dems I'd say (and before anyone says it, yes I realize McCain accused Obama of having not enough experience but then again Palin isn't running for president, this must be along the same lines as that 'dems dont have to have morals because they dont campaign on morals' thing).....

So apparently it must scare the dems a lot that McCain chose her, or else they wouldn't be acting this way. Anyway, is anyone else excited that beyond all this, no matter which side wins history will be made?

Answer 1

Acting this way?  What way?  Pointing out how grossly incompetent she really is?  Pointing out that they're asking a lady who was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska might not be ready to be one heartbeat away from being the most powerful person in the world?  Have you been to Wasilla?  I have.  I used to live in Alaska.  I lived there while she was running for governor.  Voted against her then, and will again.  Mostly because she was recently quoted in an interview as saying that she needed somebody to explain what exactly the VP does before she would consider it.  You're telling me THAT is the kind of thing you want in a VP?  Somebody who doesn't even know what is expected of her?  I mean, she's already been seen firing some pretty heavy guns for photo opps and such for her NRA supporters, so she could take the d**k Cheney route of shooting somebody in the face, but there's a bit more to the job than that!

Now, as far as the fact that she's not running for president, ask yourself this.  How old is McCain?  72.  Is he the healthiest guy aroud?  No, had multiple battles with cancer.  What if he's not so lucky the next time the cancer comes around.  Would you want her to be President?  I dont' like saying it, but it is a very real thing to consider McCain's age and health issues in this situation.  Now, if you have an issue with a woman who isn't sure of her duties, only was mayor of wasilla and has barely been governor of alaska, then you're not the only one.  She is an abysmal choice.

Answer 2

She's great,isn't she.  They're staining their panties .

Answer 3

To be honest I could care less about history being made. The key is how strong are the candidates. I'm an independent and have to say I like the limited knowledge I have of Palin to date. However, I feel she should be provided an opportunity to gain additional experience as Governor. I believe she has a great future. It is no surprise that the dems would go on the attack. That's politics. For the good of America lets hope we have a productive campaign in which the best ticket wins.

Answer 4

People don't have to jump very far to spread lies about this woman.  This is the same woman that weeks ago said that she wouldn't be VP until someone explained to her what a VP does all day.  She is also under investigation in her own state.  I guess Republicans would consider her a good pick because squeaky clean image and Republican is oxymoron.  

Answer 5

This is too funny...

Your icon pic is made to look like Hillary as the Joker...

And you think Democrats are making senseless attacks...

Classic.

Answer 6

Yes it was a great choice she will be great as the spokes model at the federal prison she is sent to when she stands trial for troopergate.

Answer 7

Just look at the polls. Obama had a 8 point bounce for one day.  

Answer 8

no. your logic is ludicrous

Answer 9

yep,awesome choice.

Answer 10

Why should she be immune from lies?  Look at all of the lies that have been posted about Obama, his wife, his running mate and even McCain.  Why should Palin supporters expect any different treatment?

Answer 11

Yes!! I think she's going to be a great VP and I agree with you the left and the dems are afraid, they know that Palin rocks and having more experience than Obama really has them worried. I liked how McCain pulled this off, the two are going to do great together! History is about to be made, sorry Hillary.

Answer 12

I don't know if he has made the right choice. Does any candidate make the correct choice ie. Dan Quayle, Spiro Agnew. She just might surprise us all. Give her a chance.

Answer 13

Yes, Palin is a great choice

Palin? Perfect

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, August 29, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Election 2008: John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate is brilliant. Her individualism matches McCain's. But it's the new strengths she brings to the ticket that make the team formidable.

Answer 14

Not with a straight face, no.

Answer 15

Sarah Palin is nothing but a Manchurian candidate being used to pander to the Hillary supporters who don't like Obama and to the religious right since she has a record of opposing a woman's right to choose and equal rights for women.

Answer 16

yes.

Answer 17

They've been reduced to sputtering inane insults, lies and distortions....even by their standards, a new low.  

Answer 18

not for america - maybe for his campaign  

the only thing that scares me is the thought of a religouis fanatic as president - and yes - Palin is 100% religouis quack

Answer 19

Palin IS running for president. McCain has a history of cancer, recurring, I think. If he dies, she'll take over, which will NOT make me comfortable. She did great things for Alaska, taxes and she gave them money, or something like that, right? But Obama helped the working class in Illinois gain some rights, which is a lot bigger. He spoke up for the little people.

OBAMA '08!

Answer 20

McCain is funny..

Answer 21

Palin is a JOURNALISM MAJOR!!!! She is not VP material!!!! McCain just proved to be more of an idiot than we all thought. If he died soon after becoming president, she would definitely NOT be ready to handle the U.S. at all.  And just because Obama has not had that much experience, he has someone to fall back on who does!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!

Answer 22

Palin was an excellent choice.

Answer 23

McCain is the death of america.
