Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080903/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_obama

So that is why they choose Palin, because they think she looks attractive and will help win election?

It shows how much out of touch with reality repubs are.

Answer 1

I never said that, and I am a Republican.

Answer 2

They put themselves out their to  the attacks. WTF would one say such a thing? Are they not looking at themselves when they judge like that?

Answer 3

If 8 yrs of Bush-it hasn't proven a point in the demise of the U.S.A; then we are a lost country.........NO MORE OF THE SAME......MCcain/PAIN.

Answer 4

It is about the issues.  It's about who best represents your own personal views.  All the rest of this c**p that's going on is there to divide and destract us from the real issues.

Answer 5

Because they can't win on issues of substance.

Though I didn't agree with John McCain's policies, I at one point at least respected him.

Now, I think it's pitiful that he so desperately wants to be president that he'll do whatever he has to to win.

I'm very disappointed in him and his choices. He has, in no way, put "America First."

Answer 6

what the h*** are you talking about? obama NEVER wants to discuss the issues. some are just "above his pay grade". out of touch? yeah, right.

Answer 7

That is what Obama said. But last week it was about change, now it is the economy. What did he talk about last week, government handouts.

If hes was concerned about the economy, he would of brought some good speakers and talk about new technology. Railroads, Windmills, Geothermal, Natural gas and business would of been the subjects but no it was about change. Tonight they will be discussing these things.  

Answer 8

Its sad to say, but that is just how America is today.  How many comedians have made comments about how as Americans we are terrible at picking a president but we are great at picking the next American Idol.  If a candidate doesn't have charisma and personality, or at least some kind of song and dance to show the public, WE the people, won't give that candidate much attention, no matter what his/her stand is on the issues, if any.

Answer 9

Dems say OBama is not experienced enough to be Presidient.

Answer 10

One thing you can count on is that anything that comes out of a republican's mouth is a lie.  Their main concern is to keep their shell game going - it means untold billions for Big Oil and creatures like Blackwater to have a fibber republican in the White House.

Vote Obama - Don't throw the country down the drain!

Answer 11

His choice say a lot about his capacity to lead.

Answer 12

she looks very attractive. A dream girl to many.

Answer 13

I think he may be referring to his personality as an lovable old grandpa. haha

Answer 14

Unfortunately it's true. We've become a society of Oprah watchers who thrive on personality instead of substance. You can see it in a majority of the questions & answers here. & the democrats are just as guilty as the Republicans. It's all about show. They dont talk & the media doesnt question them, ABOUT THE ISSUES!
