John McCain was prudent and only thought of the USA in his selection of VP. T/F Winning is not everything.T/F?

Question

Last I check I am an American, and do gamble with my American lives please...I sure pray and hope that this is the EXPERIENCE you are talking about when you die....

Answer 1

I would rather be right than president.

Answer 2

and other fairy tales!....

Answer 3

you can't implement any of your ideas for the country if you don't win.

winning isn't everything, it is just the first thing.  but it must be accomplished.  running mates have always been chosen to increase chances of winning.  

Answer 4

McCain obviously didn't think about the country at all.  He hoped to pull a cute stunt and hurt the Democrats but he miscalculated.  

Answer 5

false.  McCain only thought of the polls in selecting palin.  She's good for the evangelicals (anti-abortion, anti-evolution), pro-NRA, she'll pick up some of the female vote,and she'll help with the pro-drilling crowd.

He ignored the fact that she has no foreign policy experience, less than two years in "high-ranking"  governmental experience after deriding his opponent for months as being inexperienced. She doesn't have an opinion on the Iraq war, admittedly.  

What if he dies in office?  Look at the president he'll leave us with: a woman who will outlaw all abortions if given the chance, who wants our kids learning intelligent design along side evolution (which, unlike ID has been proven to occur in nature) in their science class and who as zero foreign policy experience.  But hey! She loves guns and Jesus and might lower oil prices.  That's all that matters, right?

So go vote for McCain, folks.  You'll get a president who admits he knows little about the economy, and a vp who admits knowing little about the Iraq war.  Don't you want, no deserve a government that knows about the problems facing America today?!?! Isn't it time we stopped being proud of our ignorance and chose leaders who will use logic and reason to solve problems, not a gut feeling?

Answer 6

People project their own motives onto others. When Democrats scream "cynical ploy," I can't help but think that they're mad that the Republicans stole a move out of the Democrat playbook. Democrats are the master manipulators of identity politics and race-baiting in the United States, so it's not surprising that they assume Palin is a "cynical ploy."  

Answer 7

At last.....someone who can represent the "real" person.  She knows, she's been there!  She has more experience than Obama!  He's only worked 180 days as a senator, and has done nothing! Most of his time has been campaining and  he's running for the President of the US.  If people would stop listening to the media and do their research....they would see who would be the best for President.  

Answer 8

Prudent?  No, it was a cynical ploy.  Are we to believe that Gidget, with a year and a half governing an empty state, is the best running mate available?

Answer 9

My opinion is he is thinking of America and it's people.

If this moron Obama becomes president we are truly screwed.

He picked a young female vp because he is hoping some of the onionheads that are voting for Obama will consider voting for him.

He is doing it so our country isn't ruined.

Winning is everything when letting the other guy win could have catastrophic results.
