    Did it occure to you that they are doing this lynch investigation because she took in Stevens and shut down his plan for a bridge to nowhere ?
    But take sides with someone who tased his 11 year old son.

    More of the same ?

    Obama picked a 36 year Beltway insider so much for change.

    McCain picked a "maverick" anti-establishment person like himself.


    Deal Journal - WSJ.com : A Sarah Palin Primer: What McCain's VP Pick Means for Wall Street

    Hmmmm took on oil companies, gave the "windfall tax" back to the state's citizens..

    Not a bad start:)

    McCain likes to take gambles with his finger poised on the red button. He's an entreched old run-of-the-mill renegade Senator that only met Palin once before. ONCE! She's qualified to run the Moose lodge in Juno. Seventy-two year old McCain is losing his mind. :eek:

    And what executive experience do Obama or Biden have?

    Voting present - Does that count as "experience?" :p

    Does throwing people under the bus, count? ;)

    I love McCain's pick! Nobody knows how to shoot himself in the foot like the old maverick.

    McCains pick is great. Biden is going to eat her alive in those debates. But maybe I'm wrong she may have polished her skills as a debater in the PTA or the Miss Alaska contest.

    Hello again:

    It's a hail mary pick. If she catches the pass, he wins. If not, he gets creamed.

    He took a shot all right, he blasted it out of the park. Biden got a ho-hum response from us - kind of like listening to one his speeches. The left is convulsing over Palin and that indicates panic. LOL!

    Sir Speechlesstx-

    Thou imagination surely has runneth wild! To the Democrats pleasure, their bellies are full of laughter, and McCain is but yet a clown awaiting his next act. I do by declare that on this date several distinguished lifetime Republican friends of mine (with six figure salaries) have confided with me, mild displeasure in king McCain before, but after his selection of princess Moose lodge Palin, they have now decided to abandon thy kingdom and not vote at all.

    Thine friends are apparently not true Republicans, and the bellies of such Democrats scoff at their peril. :D

    Well doest thy name those last red fangs in the jaws of my vengeance? To the gallows with you and John McCain. :D Seriously though I was surprised to hear them admit such. They make really good money and would benefit from upper class tax breaks that John McCain would give them. They are really peeved not to vote and that's saying something.

    Yeah, makes it kind of hard to stick the too-inexperienced-to-be-president sign on Obama's back, doesn't it? Now he can come back with "Oh yeah? Well, so's your old lady!"

    Politics is such great theater. It's just a shame that the skills it takes to win elections are mostly useless or worse (see: Reagan, Ronald) when it comes to actually governing.

    Bobby, methinks your wealthy Rep friends have their noses elevated too high. They should avoid any sudden downpours lest they drown!

    Trust me. They can afford to play the best golf courses, and they often do.
