** I Got One For you MARY...Did OBAMA make the Right Choice For VP ?**

[NautyOne]

Okay, Mary....... And, all.....I don't think we ever discussed this topic.  Do you now think that Obama made the wrong choice for VP?.......I always believed that he should of picked Hillary Clinton, but just let it rest.  But, now with all the Sarah Palin  stuff, do you think that McCain did this --A strategic move because he did not pick Hillary???  dunno.  I believe it was, and I think it was a darn good one.

I am now looking at his decision, and see no other reason for him to pick her......whoa!

nauty........

Amazing, you actually believe the media is ran by conservatives? Pass me the bong.

[lovepat906]

The lies are all that McCain et al are talking about to draw attention away from the real issues: lipstick on pigs, sex ed for kindergartners, the  qualifications of Sarah Palin, the reasons for choosing Sarah Palin, sexism!!!! yadayadayada. My favorite is the commenrcial that says" McCain cleaned up Washington!" - yeah, SURE- that's a done deal that he can take credit for- NOT! I did not say that he has lied about the issues- he has just avoided /distracted from the issues. When a candidate tries to say that they are "a change" from current political leadership, they should be able to show a significant amount of opposition to the legislation supported by the other guy. Otherwise the comparison is apples to oranges.
Left Biased media?!?!?! You have got to be kidding me. The mainstream corporate media  has been consolidated and bought up by conservative interests thanks to FCC deregulation under the Bush admin. Yup. I am amped about Palin. She is a dangerously inadequate choice to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. And all the lies in the world won't make that go away.

[paul300]

Thats another one, the Bush vote for the 90+ % argument. That too will wear out soon. What about the other bills that Bush didn't sponsor? Afraid the dems don't want to talk about that. Very weak argument. You're counterdicting yourself, if you believe they are all lies, then why do you want them to discuss the issues??? It wouldn't matter who McCain picked, the dems would find issues about that person. You want to believe its another Bush tenure, but the dems are really hyped because of Palin. Hard to argue w a winner.
;-)

Misinformation? Please tell me you don't think most major media outlets are left-biased, otherwise I have a bridge to nowhere you can buy. ;-)

[lovepat906]

Nauty- Please provide a link for that information- my bet is it doesn't exist. There is a lot of misinformation out there and I for one search for the truth.
Paul- I wouldn't call voting with Bush 90-95% of the time bucking his party. He WAS a maverick- but he sold out. And there are a whole BUNCH of better qualified Republican women out there. The only thing Palin has going for her is being the darling of the right wing. A "big fat resume" generally contains a lot of qualifications.Standard Rovian tactics- attack your opponants strengths.Yeah. I hope they DO start talking issues. McCain/ Palin would rather tell lies over and over again in hopes that the American people will be convinced on the basis of pure repetition. It will be sad if the majority of voters are that gullible... but it is true that they elected Bush twice- so why not expect yet another repeat?  God forbid.

[NautyOne]

Hey, good to see you.  Missed you bunches......glad to see you still have a pulse.

Luv,
Nauaty.........

[paul300]

Clearly shows a weakness in leadership. All the baggage, polarization and so on; still an Obama-Hill ticket would have been a slam dunk winner. Biden was a wimpy pick. Change? Right. The dufus opened his big mouth by stating Hill would have been the better pick. There is judgment for ya. ;-) Just keeps getting better.

In contrast, the dems are saying that McCain picked Palin out of pressure from the far right. Farthest from the truth, anyone tracking this should know that McCain has bucked the far right in the best interest for the country. And all the dems can do is say McBush McBush... People on the center and swing independents can see through the rhetoric and the polls are reflecting the 12 pt swing after the GOP. Better start talking issues, cuz "McBush" ain't worken. Now they're using the "puter" card. Haaa.

[NautyOne]

LovePat,

She did want it !!  She asked for it and Obama said NO !!!   What a tragic mistake for him.  He will kick himself in whatever the color of his house is , because it wont be the White House........He should have put his PRIDE aside.

Big Blunder, OBama

Nauty.......

WHATEVER

[lovepat906]

McCain didn't gain any votes he wouldn't have already had. He just brought the Bubba and Bubbette vote off the sofa- those who don't really look at all the real issues. The popular vote has always been tight. If we can ever get back to ISSUES and away from tabloid politics, things will change. So. Pass the popcon and spread truth about the real issues- that would be a change I could believe in, my friends.

[alienshadow]

Yes I do

[lady67]

AlienShadow,
I am with you there!
You know my stance on the election :)

[alienshadow]

Looks to me in all the polls and states Mcain has the LEAD he made the right choice

LOL Looks as if Obama made the wrong choice just goes to say if he does by some small chance makes it to the White House what other things will he choice to do WRONG Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Wow, thats a great question. I am very wishey washey on that. I think the states should control some things and not others.  For example, I really can't see one state allowing abortions and not others. Everyone would just drive to that state to have an abortion, right?  
Hope you don't mind. I'm gonna post your question as todays poll. It's a really good one.

[mimi1313]

Mary,
I know this is a very general question but what are your thoughts on the individual states being involved in other things that the federal government controls?
  
And I really like your polls, they are very interesting and engaging and I like getting different perspectives.

Choosing Palin was putting POLITICS first. Straight talk my lily white A**!
Biden was a serious and thoughtful choice. My bet is that Hillary didn't want it. We can at least be certain that Biden could step in if need be and will be a valued contributing member of the Obama team. Do you really think for a minute that Palin will be in McCain's inner circle? Wake up America!
And if Roe Vs Wade isn't in question why did they choose the VP based on that? Because they play that card for political purposes only. They get the religious conservatives  to vote for them on the basis of that single issue- when they have no intention  to  change it. Those one issue people are being used- over and over again- and they don't even realize that on all other issues they are voting against their families' own best interests.

[allaboutmary]

Mimi......I was having a hard time thinking of how to explain this so I just copied and pasted Obam's words. Pretty much he believes in it only for the saftey of the mother.
I feel the same way you do. I would probably never of had an abortion, but think it is up to the individual.

Ok for state to restrict late-term partial birth abortion
On an issue like partial birth abortion, I strongly believe that the state can properly restrict late-term abortions. I have said so repeatedly. All I've said is we should have a provision to protect the health of the mother, and many of the bills that came before me didn't have that.
Part of the reason they didn't have it was purposeful, because those who are opposed to abortion have a moral calling to try to oppose what they think is immoral. Oftentimes what they were trying to do was to polarize the debate and make it more difficult for people, so that they could try to bring an end to abortions overall.

As president, my goal is to bring people together, to listen to them, and I don't think that's any Republican out there who I've worked with who would say that I don't listen to them, I don't respect their ideas, I don't understand their perspective. And my goal is to get us out of this polarizing debate where we're always trying to score cheap political points and actually get things done.

[mimi1313]

Nauty,

I have to agree with you about pretty much everything you said. If Bill Clinton ran again, he would win. People love him. And he did mess it up for Hillary. My problem with him is the planning of 9/11 took place when he was president.

Mary,
Isn't Obama forpartial birth abortions?  I am pro choice (even though personally I wouldn't get an abortion) but I should have the choice but not in the 7th month.

[allaboutmary]

Oh but McCain and Palin will pick the judges that will have it overturned.
Ah Ha another conspericy theory. lol

[mimi1313]

You got me there!!

Hugs,
Melissa

[NautyOne]

Magi......Lmao!!!  Now that took dedication.....lol.

First of all......NOBODY is going to overturn Rowe vs. Wade......NOT going to happen !!!

She is already creeping in to the Democratic women.  She is Vice President--not Pres.  So, there really is not worry---well, I take that back--McCain prolly won't finish his term...He prolly will kick-it....but, regardless.......I don't believe R vs. Wade will ever be overturned....anyway, like you said 'most women are pro-choice...but, that doesn't mean she can get it overturned.....how many times have I said that......I am talking in a big ole circle......lol.

will shut my pie hole for now.....cold meds are playing with my head

nauty.......oh, and the wine......thanks Mary.......you enabler.....lol...I have totally lost my train of thought.......

[allaboutmary]

Cool  how long did that take ya ?
