A Boeing 747

Hello righty's:

Lemme ask you this. Would you get on an airplane where the pilot was 72 years old, and you weren't sure that the co-pilot could actually fly the plane? I don't think you would.

After her recent performances, you can't seriously think Sara Palin is qualified to be president. If you do, then I think you drank some Republican koolaid.

McCain may live to 100. He looks really great for a man who has been on the campaign trail and working late in Washington lately. Did you see his 96 yr old mother? She could pass for 70. In fact, I've seen 60 yr olds that looked worse. As far as the vp is concerned, do you really like Biden better than Palin? Why? Or are you hoping he drops out and Hillary comes in?
After what you said about Obama in the debate, I'm surprised at you. I would like to see a face off between Palin and Obama. It ain't gonna happen, but what a show that would be!

Hello Gal:

I, unlike other people around here, DON'T spout a party line. I call 'em as I see 'em. Too bad you don't.

I'll join in this discussion, as long as every one can agree to not start throwing around agrees/disagrees. This is, after all, an opinion question.

I'll come right out and say that I'm going to be voting for McCain. Now before others start hurling the "right-wing, closed-minded, Bible-thumping" accusations, I would like to say this: I don't like McCain; that's not why he's getting my vote. I think Obama is a brilliant speaker and I think he's got fantastic ideas for this country. However, I have yet to hear him explain how.

You see, I hear him state that he's going to provide a universal healthplan. But what is he going to pay for it with? And let's not ignore that people in Britain, who have free healthcare, have to wait about a year to get in to see a dentist.

I also don't appreciate the hypocrisy over not saluting the flag(yes, that happened) or wearing a flag pin because it "might be insulting to other nations." Quite frankly, I don't give a damn what other nations think of me. This isn't their country and if they don't like it, then they don't need to move here.

I am very disturbed that the man Obama himself referred to as his "mentor" actually asked God to damn America - from his pulpit in his church - and referred to this country as the "U.S. of KKK-A" and also said that the government invented the AIDS virus to wipe out the African-Americans. Am I missing something here...we're going to elect someone whose mentor is a paranoid racist? And then Obama said it shouldn't matter "whether he agrees or disagrees with Rev. Wright's statements"...how can anyone buy into that? When someone is your reverend for 20 years, you obviously have taken a liking to them.

And as for the whole "McCain doesn't support equal pay for women; he says they need more education and training" deal, that's an outright lie. I spent the time looking into where this story grew from; McCain sat out on a vote for an act that would allow more women to file lawsuits against their employers based on pay discrimination. Did he make a remark about education and training? Yes. Because he was referring to women who are coming out of raising a household and don't have the experience. Sorry, but if you come into my workplace without any experience or training and start demanding to earn as much as I do when I've been here for 5 years? Hell no.

So that's my rant for the day. I could go on but I did that yesterday *lol*

No party line, Ex. I just don't agree with any of the Democrat Party's basic ideas. I also don't agree with some of the Republican's. I might like the Constitution Party, but not for president, not this year. I will NOT give Obama a "back door" vote.

Oh, yeah. About that airplane, I would much rather have a healthy 72 yr old PILOT at the controls, than to have someone younger there who hasn't completed flight training.

Qualified or not, I still say she's a MILF

Beats Obama Airlines. Some "Green Jobs" just won't do it.

Now is that any way to talk about the next Vice President of the United States? You should keep that to yourself...like I do.

Oh, it's all just fun and games. I'm very happy as a heterosexual female.
