  1. Yes I'll vote for McCain-Palin because of the experience that both of them bring.  I will because of their care and concern for America and the platforms and principles that prove that!  I think them both to be uniters and are more concerned with America than one particular party and both can work together with others.  


  2. No, because I'll be 17 and 11/12ths.  (1 month too young to vote).

    But, yes.  I would vote for McCain/Palin.  And I do think that Palin was a good choice.  

    1)  Helps unify the party.  McCain being a more liberal Republican (he's not a liberal, but he's a moderate/liberal compared to other republicans), he needs a more conservative Republican to solidify the party behind him.  If he had chosen a closer friend of his it would have cost him many of his own party's votes.  

    2)  She helps push McCains "maverick" perception.  She's advertised as a true reformer.  

    3)  She's 'new'.  Yes, with the new comes some inexperience, but here's how I look at it:  Palin has executive experience, while Obama has 2 years of legislative experience, which he has wasted most of on campaigning.  That's not a bad trade-off, all things considered.  BUT, Sarah Palin is a V.P. candidate.  She will not be directly taking office.  She, as V.P. will/would be spending her time in the Senate, same as Obama, and after half of a term, her expereince would equal Obama's current experience, and then some.  (Again, Obama really only had half a year of real time in the Senate, before he went on the campaign trail, so she needs less than 2 years really)

    McCain may drop dead, but odds of him doing it... say, within the next year, are pretty bad.  And, again, that's a worst case scenario.

    4) She draws attention.  If McCain had picked, say, Romney, people would have paid very little notice.  It would have been expected mostly, and moved on.  Her being female helps too, to some degree.  She's not going to draw many Democrats, despite the sarcastic claims of the Daily Show, but she may lure more Republican women to the polls.  

  3. I'll vote for her, I'm for Pro life, and a Christian president and vice president, chances are, with McCain ages she will be the First Woman President, sorry I don't trust Obama I think he is a Muslim in secret.  Plus we need a President that will support Israel.  

  4. Sarah Palin is a good choice not because she is a woman but because she is qualified. I dont want to talk about her experience being more qualified than obama because you will just disagree. But She is very conservative and has very similar views to McCain. She was chosen because she has a brain, not a v****a and I am so beyond sick of hearing that the only reason is to sway HC voters. She is pro life, pro guns. pro oil, and has the attitude I think our VP needs. I am sure she will learn anything she lacks under McCain and will do so quickly.

    I think that over all they are the better choice. And they are the only real alternative to Obama who speaks about allllll this change and then chooses Biden. He is constantly changing his mind depending on who his audience is and what other democrats tell him to do. I cannot support him especially because my gut just plain tells me not to. I cant help that i see through his lies and fresh face

  5. No because I fundamentally disagree with her.  While she believes that "women deserve better than abortion" <-- direct quote from the organization she is a member of, Feminists for Women, she believes the way to do better for women is to make abortions unlawful while denying universal health care.  I, however, agree that women deserve better than abortion, but feel that the way to curb abortion rates is to provide s*x ed to all children (from kindergarten or 1st grade on up, considering 10 year olds are having s*x these days), have universal health care (so that a woman never has to choose between having an unhealthy baby or aborting the baby) and promoting free day care for all children.  See, Palin and I just have very different means to reach the same end.  And since I don't believe Machiavelli that the end always justifies the means, I cannot vote for the McCain/Palin ticket.  I feel so strongly that if you were to hold a gun to my head or a loved one's head and tell me I had to vote for them or I/my loved one would die, I would still vote against them (which unfortunately means for Obama, not that I love him as a candidate).

  6. No, but I will LAUGH OUT LOUD when I see her name in the booth!!!

  7. I'm voting for Obama, but I wouldn't vote for a ticket with Palin on it simply because of her complete lack of experience....before you repubs start screaming about Obama's lack, Palin has NO experience with the Senate or House, and hasn't even been a Governor for that long. I also take issue with the fact that she is being investigated for abuse of power with the whole "troopergate" thing. Her family is also in such turmoil, I couldn't trust her to keep her focus on the world right now with her family in crisis....i.e. a baby with Down's Syndrome (which has been rumored is actually her grandson) and a teen daughter pregnant and maybe/maybe not getting married and who would support those teens? I would NOT want her for president and with an old guy like McCain, that could happen...too scary for me

  8. no.

    she isn't running for pres.

    I dislike the mixing of religious ideals and politics.

    so no, i wouldn't.

  9. No. She doesn't know which way is up and McCain is a warmonger.

    Obama/Biden has my vote.

  10. Yes, because of the following reasons:

    1) McCain is a better choice than Obama.

    2) She has executive experience- none of the two and a half (white) men do.

    3) The only negative I see about her is that she gives her kids funny names (Track, Bristol, Piper, and Trig -sorry I forgot the other one but remember it was also silly!)

  11. I'll vote for McCain/Palin 08.  John will probably to be too old for a second term and hopefully Sarah will run against Hillary.  How about that?  We may have two women running against each other for the presidency of the United States.  

    That will truly be historic!!!

  12. ill vote for john mccain.

  13. I will vote for McCain/ Palin because they are more in tune with conservative ideas than Obama/ Biden.

  14. All that 's changed lately is the forms and directions of the attacks ... same old politics from both sides ...

              .. McCain has been negative since the beginning , now he blames dems when they finally get the balls to fight back ... They're all so hypocritical .

         As an independent , I'm seeing no choice here but to vote against the lesser of 2 evils ... I'm voting Obama ... unless something really extraordinary happens between now and november ...

       Now all you republicans can give me a thumbs down , for being an honest American .

  15. I will vote for McCain/Palin because I agree with their views and appreciate their character

  16. No. She is not honest. Family should come first - particularly with

    a number of children - and then any job.

  17. I'm waiting to see what comes out of Troopergate.  I'm so not bothered about her daughter being pregnant. . . . it would be better if the media left her alone.  

  18. Yes,because I think for myself and do my own research.I don't allow Obama and his followers to distract me with the hate and lies.

  19. Yes,because she's strong and not a Washington insider.   McCain/Palin 2008!

  20. No way, she is way to far to the right... she was picked because McCain needed someone to appeal to the right wing base and because Obama did not chose a woman so he had to in order to still look somehow 'progressive' while actually working to push the country back to the 1950's.  

    And then there are all the little lies she has already told, fighting against earmarks (only if they are for OTHER towns or states... she hired lobbyists in DC to get money), turning down the "bridge to nowhere" .. but only after she could not get all the money to build it.  She was all for it when she thought the federal gov't would pay.  She even kept the money that they gave her for it to use for other things.

    lets see, there is the troopergate, using her position for personal vengence.  And then hiring a guy with a record of sexual harrasment, getting rid of him after two weeks and paying him $10,000.

    She is fighting to not list polar bears as endangered because it would interfere with a gas pipeline.  She really really want big oil to drill in one of the few pristine areas left in our country.

    She not only opposes abortion in general but for any reason.  If a 14 yo girl is raped by her father and gets pregnant... too bad for her.  So what if the pregnacy is a threat to her health.

    She opposes s*x education, except for abstinence.

    She opposes birth control methods that might result in a fertilized egg being flushed from a womans body instead of implanting into the uterine wall (nevermind that only about 1/3 of all fertilized eggs successfully implants anyway... if those clumps of cells are so precious why would god make women lose them more often than not?)

    She is anti-g*y.

    I think there are other things but I am getting tired.  

    Let's just say that she is NOT someone I EVER want near the whitehouse.

  21. h**l NO

    She has a scary right wing ideology.  

  22. No.  It is obvious she has put her career ahead of her family, while using that same family to further her career.

  23. I will vote for Sarah.  She is strong, independent and a reformer.  She rocks!

  24. i will vote for john mccain,palin after he is done.

  25. Nope but I will Vote for Obama and Biden!

  26. Yes, because its a nice change. She brings a freshness to the reps that we need and i like most of her views.

  27.   You phrased that correctly.

      Cancer man isn't long for this world.

      No way am I voting for that undeserving token.

  28. no because i dont agree with some of her views on certain things and her approach on how to deal with other issues (even though i agree with her on it) She is on the McCain ticket and i'm not voting for McCain. He already has said that the economy isnt a subject he knows a lot about. I think we need a president that has more understanding of economics during a time where the U.S. economy isnt doing so well.


  29. Yes.  Because she's cool.

  30. Yep. She's on the same ticket as John McCain and that ticket runs circles around the Obama / Biden ticket when it comes to experience in running the country and reaching across party lines.

    The record speaks for itself. In his short four years as as Junior Senator, Obama has voted along party lines EVERY time. But now that he's running for President, we're supposed to believe that he's going to somehow wave a magic wand and play nice in the same sandbox with Republicans and Democrats alike?

    Ain't gonna happen. The best chance for a unified nation and to get things done over the next four years is McCain.  

  31. Yes, she is the only one with experience. There is a reason we almost only elect Governors to the presidency, they are the ones who's jobs are closest to the president's.

    The last sitting Senator elected was JFK. Nixon was a Senator, but not when he ran for office.
