Quote from lilduckling:
It is an insult to women, to think that they will vote for another woman, just for the sake of being a woman.
This is the main hot button that McCain may have to answer to.... why did he really pick this woman?? The next few weeks will dictate how the media begins to dissect this nominee.
Palin is a complete opposite from Hillary.... no way will she appeal to Hillary supporters.
Media is already saying this was an act of desperation ...... it has begun.
As far as what she brings to the table... it is nothing. What i mean by that is in the context of political chess match......is it an advantage? NO it isnt.
Had she been for woman's rights.... or have more liberal views on energy.... but she doesnt, in every single issue, she is to the right of McCain. Makes no sense to have picked her, she doesn't balance the ticket at all when it comes to policies .... only in age. But because she is so young.... even that is not really an asset to the ticket. Yeah, she's 44, but looks younger, and i would totally go down on her...... but she's not the image people look for when they think about if something happened to McCain.
FOX news already showing her in all kinds of military photos... in BDUs ... holding M16s........I guess to show she can lead in military crisis .....................................hey remember the classic video of Dukakis riding around in the M1 Army tank??
McCain is done.
As far as polls...... you can get any polls to say what ever you want just by how you ask the questions.
You guys dont remember, but I was right when I posted about how the elections would go for both the house and the senate...... and i know im right on this one.
Duck, I think you might have misunderstood me, what I meant was, women today are so hiped about doing a mans job for less when they feel they are equal ,
and they are!
This is a bold statement to women, because he didn't just choose any woman, he chose a highly qualified woman who will reach the women across the US.
She has not even been given a chance to debate yet and she is being shot down.I think she will surprise you and many!
As far as the media, I don't know what channel you are watching, but I have seen the opposite, yes the Dems call it a mistake but the Reps call it a Homerun. Forget the media, they are a bunch of asses anyway.
And you are wrong about her being so far RIGHT from JM, did you know her first veto was for GAY RIGHTS...........thats pretty liberal to me.
It's about balance, and they compliment each other nicely. She was not chosen for Foreign Policy.........that is JM job, but she will take care of home, which is what the country wants and needs.......and she will learn.....didn't you have to learn how to trade at one time?
It is a chess match, and JM said check and mate!
Noone knows how she wil respond in a debate.
She also agrees with JM about bringing energy from ALASKA which is sitting on major oil and gas supplies down to lower 48, safely.
FYI........did you know that JOE BIDEN was against the ALASKAN PIPELINE 30 years ago? He voted against it( and that will come out). So how can he say he is for helping the people/country with the energy problem?
She also shows the same moral values as JM, she cleaned house as GOV........and JM is known to be stand up and demands loyalty!
Time will show and she will rise to it!
Oh yes...........I would love to go down on her too!
I want to eat her ass to see those MOOSE BURGERS!
