How does everyone feel about Mccain's VP pick ?
So i did my poll on Obama's pick, so now how do you feel about Sarah Palin. The only opinion I have so far is.....who ??? lol
lovepat........I couldn't agree more. When is she going to have any time to spend with her disabled baby ? I know she says her husband is going to care for the baby, but come on......Is there even one women here that could be away from thier 5 mo. old baby for days at a time ? I don't think she had time to think this through.
She also has admitted that she knows nothing about foreign affairs. Obama might not have actual experience, but he knows his stuff. He can tell you what is going on in any part of the world.
I watched the speaches last night for the Republican convention. It was all about war and the military. It said nothing about our problems here at home. Then watched a video from one of MCain's fellow POW. He was there 2 more years than McCain and doesn't feel he is presidential material. He is also upset how McCain is using his POW experience to pander to the public.
Sorry but McCain throws out threats to Russia & Iran. McCain =War !
I am so sick of them saying our soldiers will come home with honor. Our soldiers have honor the moment they inlist ! Win or lose they deserve respect and honor. McCain is stuck in the Viet Nam mentality.
WAKE-UP AMERICA !

She believes that Creationism should be taught in public schools.
'Nuff said for the Peekster.

Ya reallly gotta wade through the BS to get to the truth. For example- Palin decided not to build the bridge to nowhere because she could keep the money and use it for other projects. The ROAD to the nonexistant bridge still got built- cause she would've had to turn that money back in!
I have a major problem with hypocrisy. How is it a "Family Value" to endanger a high risk baby by taking a 13 hour air trip in labor? How is it a "Family Value" to take on a full time campaign when you have a special needs infant and a teenage daughter in crisis?
How is being mayor of a tiny little town where your only duties are 1) ceremonial duties and 2) presiding over city council meetings- " executive experience"? And how is being governor of a state that has less diversity and fewer people that most cities and is oil wealthy to boot - for less than 2 years- preparation for national office?
How is living"close to Russia" foreign policy experience? And how does this jibe with the Republican claim that Obama isn't ready for national office due to his " lack of experience"?
She is a nice lady, I'm sure. But it is scarey to think that she will be a heartbeat away from being president with John McCain's age and health issues. I see her as a very cynical choice. John McCain proved to me that he put politics first- not the country.
I just hope that a majority of people really care enough to seek the truth and study the issues.

GO OBAMA!!
this country needs change, not more of the same.
we have already been put in a hole by bush's decisions
with mcain we would be digging a hole to china...
Obama will make the changes needed for a better
country for ALL, not just the special interests and
big business.
what ever happened to "we the people?"
and separation of church and state is
a very important issue...to me.

After all, the electoral college decides who the president is (the people's vote is in case of an electoral tie).
---
In the case of an electoral tie, the election goes to the House of Representatives. They must choose among the three top candidates, by popular vote. Each states congressional delegation gets one vote. Swampy hasn't done the math so he is not certain who would win, but small states and large states have the same voting power.
Anyway, this discussion is theoretical, as it is a safe prediction that whoever wins, there will be no electoral tie.

I don't really know why Hillary wasn't picked for VP, but my guess is that Bill ruined it for her.
Well I want to jump on this Band wagon , I had hoped for Hillary as I thought we Gals would make a better Job as President but what the Hey, I will vote for O"Bamea rather than vote for a Republican and more importantly Mc Cain will be doing the same as President Bush has done the last 8 years, why would I want that !! As for Ms Paling well I bet Hillary had a giggle at the News , can anyone tell me why Hillary wasnt asked to be Vice President I still dont know, who didnt want her there I wonder?
Luv, I honestly don't know. I think it's a relative thing. My wife is far from impressed by my memory. She's convinced that every little piece of "useless" knowledge I pick up causes something "useful" to conveniently be kicked out.
Say, for example...her birthday... or what to pick up at the store.
I've always read a lot, from an early age. I grew up in a country area where the nearest kids my age were a half hour drive away. And with two older brothers who thought playing with their little brother consisted of leaving him tied to a tree...well, you get the idea. :)
I find myself fretting more and more over all the things I used to know that I seem to be gradually forgetting. I used to be able to recite passages of Shakespeare or philosophical tracts. Now?
Uh-huh, I'm lucky if I can SPELL Shakespeare on a good day. And I find myself mixing up facts and names more and more as I get older.
If i was a computer, I'd give myself an upgrade. :)

I would like to see Hillary as part of the Obama adminisration.
I really think McCains time has passed. He's to old and is not makeing good dicisions. Maybe in his younger years, but not now.
Go Obama !!!

How do you store all this information in your head. You remind me of my x. Everything he ever heard or read he remembers. I'm so jelous, I have trouble remembering garbage day. lol
Heh heh...I can't help talking about history. I'm becoming more and more obsessed with the past.
You REALLY want to make a difference? Be sure to take part in the pre-election polling. Ironically, it's more important than the actual vote.
After all, the electoral college decides who the president is (the people's vote is in case of an electoral tie). So...take part in opinion polls to let your electoral representatives know what you want.
Sadly, I don't think there will be another female presidential candidate for 12 years minimum. 20 years if the state of the country actually improves over the next decade or two.
The thing that makes me sad about the whole Hillary affair is it's history repeating itself. I can name at least five other instances off the top of my head where the order of earned equality went:
White - Black - Women, dating back to the civil war (blacks did get their freedom before woman did...(and the suffrage movement in the early 1900's all but failed).
It would have been NICE for once to see America not be repetitive and boringly typical. It's not as if Clinton was a Geraldine Ferraro (who, ironically has finally come into her own) who was a terrible pick for Mondale's BP at the time in the 80's.

Fox news fair and balanced........your kidding right ? right ? It's can be so hard to tell if someone is joking through the computer.
I hope hills will be back in 2012, but I doubt she will be in Obama's administration...lol. I wonder who it was more difficult to support Obama......I would bet on Bill. They HATE each other !!
I think its pretty much over for hills, but I love her hutzba !! hutzba??? oh, no ....here i go again. I swear I'm not drinking........hehe. I am just celebrating this weekend in complete solace. Some of you might know what I am talking about !! Oh, and did I tell you.....I watch FOX NEWS~~fair and balanced ! I think I am getting political OVERLOAD....dang they are dramatic--fox news that is......its funny.
I feel bad cause I am watching this hurricane thing like a car wreck. But, I really feel bad for these people........fox is really playing it up......I best stop now.....I am rambling , babbling again..........break.
AND THE SAGA CONTINUES........MY FELLOW AMERICANS......CHOOSE WISELY....
NAUTY.........

I'm betting Hillary will have some place in Obama's administration. Hopefully something to do with health care.
geez that sounded so retarded........up above......I have so much I want to say, but i would be typing all night. haha....i don't usually read what I post. I think i better start...lol...........
and the SAGA continues.............
nauty.....
and the SAGA continues.............
nauty.....
Good post. Except for the 1880's stuff.....lol. had to throw that in, hun......lol. So true what you said about hills......now we will never know. I have learned a whole new and interesting side on prejudice.........I won't go into that, but.......
I don't know what to think anymore. I believe McCain will prevail this. What is said, and what is put on the ballot are a different story. I am learning more and more each day about each candidate and what they propose, and I am not afraid anymore. I believe Obama is blowing a lot of steam, and I don't know about taking from the rich and giving to the poor.......I know we need to get out of Iraq for economic reasons.......will take a long time , but either way, we will make it, whether it be McCain or Obama.
Its in the hands of you.........MY FELLOW AMERICANS. THINK WISELY BEFORE YOU CHOOSE. USE YOUR HEAD & NOT YOUR HEART.
NAUTY........

You have to remember that the democratic party was technically the republican party pre-1880's. Technically, it was the democratic-republican party vs. the federalists.
Later the party split and the dem's and repub's had essentially reversed policy to that of today's dem's and repub's (a modern day republican would have been considered an 1860's democrat by our standards, and vice versa. Keep in mind this is a vast simplification).
I don't like either of 'em. the republicans have only one hope of winning; a miracle in Iraq. Which I doubt they'll get.
Obama is just mouthing typical "I have a dream" platitudes. Neither side has presented a plausible method of making serious changes in this country that will fix anything in the long run.
McCain...I've said time and again I won't have anything to do with the republican party until the make a clean, honest break from the evangelical right.
Big Business has it's grip so tightly around our governments nuts that I can't see any real change coming about..
Frankly, it's what I liked about Hillary. She took them on in a big way a while back...and yes, she did lose. But that wasn't ger fault, to many other corrupt and lily livered politicians were afraid of losing the extra cash from bribes, kickbacks and investments.
I had high hopes that she was gonig to use the presidency to take a second run at big business, with more success.
Ah well, now we'll never know.
Blech. I think I'll vote for myself. ;)

The hurricane expert who is watching the hurricane says it's time to GET OUT OF NEW ORLEANS NOW!!!!!!!!
""it's not natural" to live in a city that lies partially below sea level. I apologize for my remarks, they could have been phrased better. We had to build New Orleans where it is, and it is a great city that needs to be protected. The fact remains that New Orleans is highly vulnerable to storms like Gustav. Gustav is capable of bringing a storm surge to the city that will overwhelm the levees. Pre-Katrina wisdom suggested that the city needed 72 hours to evacuate. With the population about half of the pre-Katrina population, that lead time is about 60 hours. With Gustav likely to bring tropical storm force winds to the city by Monday afternoon, that means it's time to leave. I'm not an emergency manager, but I am a hurricane scientist. I understand the danger this storm poses better than most. The risk of staying in New Orleans is unacceptable. This is a huge and dangerous storm that has already killed a lot of people. The projected track and strength of Gustav is very close to that of Hurricane Betsy of 1965, the Category 3 hurricane that overwhelmed New Orleans' levees, and killed 76 people. It's time to get out of New Orleans." ~ JeffMasters
