Ok, it's been 24 hours and it was a very funny joke, but when is McCain announcing his REAL pick for VP?

Question

Great joke John, but I'm not laughing anymore.

Answer 1

I don't understand it myself.

Further, when did the Republican Party stand for reform? Reform against what, Big Business and corporations reaping profits while working class Americans suffer and barely eke out a living? That does not sound like Republican dogma to me; it sounds like false promises and false hopes...

Answer 2

He's not joking and the laugh is on us if he kicks the bucket.........

Answer 3

Ah,another trailer park political commentator chimes in. She is the pick that will win him the election. Now go clean the dog p**p off of your porch.

Answer 4

why do you all hate her.  is it because she refused to commit murder (abortion) despite her son having down syndrome, is it because she supports drilling in ANWR, even though she lives in Alaska, is it because as mayor of her city, she reduced property tax, unnecessary spending, and cut her own wages.  just tell me why!!!

Answer 5

Sarah Palin is a REAL pick and she makes Democrat VP nominee Joe Biden appear stale and irrelevant, just the kind of perception-based counter-jab McCain may need to take down the Chosen One.

Answer 6

Palin was a great pick. She is way more in touch with the common people than anyone else. She is also a staunch conservative.

And I think she will hold her own against Biden. She has facts and the truth on her side.

Answer 7

Time Out

Why doesn't the political world make sense anymore?

Try this on for size. I'm not saying that this is how it is; I'm just saying that this is how the illogical facts start to make some sense.

McCain is a good guy and an experienced statesman. He has always served his country honorably and competently. So why, when he runs for President, does he suddenly lose his mind?

Perhaps he hasn't. It is no secret that the Neocons have hijacked the Republican Party. It is also no secret that they have done untold damage to the nation. And…it is also no secret that since his candidacy began; McCain has appeared to "be on board" with the Neocons.

Is it possible that since the "Georgia" thing that McCain has realized how deeply the Neocons have already infiltrated his machine…

…and are in the process of setting him up as an accomplice in order to force him to do their bidding?

McCain, being McCain may have figured out how to out-smart them.

Exhibit 1) McCain has stated "he would rather lose an election than a war". It makes sense that he would rather lose an election than allow a corrupt cabal to control our government.

Exhibit 2) Sarah Palin…Why her? Out of all of the people, he had to choose from, why did he pick her for a running mate. […she also has not shied from confronting Exxon Mobil, BP and ConocoPhillips.] + [In the state "she's viewed ... as almost anti-oil. She's probably pro-oil from a national perspective, but she's not in the pocket of Big Oil. She's fought them at every step.]

…[McCain introduced his newly minted running mate to the crowd at Consol Energy Park, citing her record of "reform and public integrity."]

Exhibit 2a) Palin was a total surprise and from an obscure area of the "continental" U.S.. Did  McCain who has stressed  Obama's inexperience purposely make a seemingly inconsistent trade-off of experience in order to find an outsider that the Neocons had not "put the touch" on?

Exhibit 3) The risk to Palin as the running mate. It is minimal. Worst-case scenario…she sticks to her guns and they lose the election. She is now a household name, where before, few people outside of Alaska had heard of her.

Exhibit 4) Win or lose the Election, the Republican party wins. Personally I feel that McCain/Palin is the weaker ticket against Obama/Biden (although for the sake of this essay I am making the case for the Republicans out of my duty to country [don't get used to it, these moods don't last long]) they could conceivably win.

If they lose, the "chain of abuse" from the Neocons that now control the White House, therefore the Executive Branch including all intelligence/law enforcement, will be broken and the Republicans can rebuild their party without the interference of  the "dark forces".

If they can win (without succumbing to the Neocons), they will have done the impossible. They will control the Executive Branch and they will be able to clean house as they see fit.

Exhibit 5) The Republican Convention. It hasn't happened yet. But this is where it will become apparent whether McCain has a plan, or has just lost his mind.

What are we looking for? Distancing from (or preferably snubbing) of the Neocons (particularly Bush, Cheney and any of their henchmen).

Protocol requires their presence at the event but there will be things to look for.

Exhibit 5a) The code for "Neocon". The Republican party has an unwritten rule forbidding the utterance of the word. Look for the term such as "there are those in our party" that will be used to denote the Neocons, and then an attempt to distance the ticket from these individuals.

Exhibit 5b) Terms that distance McCain from the bush administration. This is less important because it is already a theme of the ticket. But stressing this point (preferably enough to p**s Cheney off and make Bush cry ) is a good sign.

In summary, I am not stating that I know that this is what is going on, I am merely stating that things haven't made sense lately and this could explain the weirdness.

I also feel that Obama is highly intelligent and I could tell by Bill Clinton's speech the other night that Obama and Biden have earned the TOTAL backing of the entire Washington Democratic brain trust…and they are going to win.

The whole point of me writing this is to acknowledge McCain's dedication to serving his country, and Palin's courage to enter this fight.

That may be the last nice things I say about them for a while so I hope you enjoyed them.
