Palin was an abysmal choice. While I applaud her accomplishments, I can NOT imagine having her running this country. The facts of John McCain's age and health history make him a much higher risk for not finishing a term...and that would put her at the helm of this country. So she squelched "the Bridge to nowhere." Big deal. Any idiot knew that was stupid. That's not enough to qualify for VP in my opinion.
the difference between her and president Clinton is Clinton spent another 8 years in the governors office........i call BS on lack of experience.....more issues in Alaska for a governor to handle than in Arkansas or even Montana....she also managed to get their budget balanced.....she has taken on her party and won, she has taken on special interests and won....she is also the only one of the presidential or VP candidates to seriously do it......she is interested in a balanced budget......these issues WILL raise their head in the next 4 years unlike abortion, sex ed and ID........she is a small town gal from a working class family and not had most things handed to her.....i will defiantly take that over Obama........unlike Obama she is a down to earth real person.....Obama has no real experience in anything except a lil bit of lawyering and a whole lot in self promotion....he has written TWO auto biographys, why? he hasnt accomplished a darn thing while he was in Harvard or in either senate....he didnt contribute even half arsed to the Harvard Law Review(any other editor i have ever come across contributes significantly to the periodical they put out maybe not in every issue but in atleast half)....he has not authored anything while in the senates.......why does this guy appeal to you? he claims he is for change than for a VP candidate he picks an long time senator....why? that shows me he aint that interested in changing anything......i would think there would have been someone that would have showed how seriously he meant to change things......
wish yah guys would quit calling Palin a desperate choice.....her track record is very very conservative republican...........this actually appealed to a huge part of the republican base that did not care for McCain.....it was actually a very intelligent choice.....the only ppl i see calling it a desperate choice are die hard Obama supporters.........
Swords i agree with the characterization as well......however he meant it as an insult......Pyro calls me a backwoods hillbilly on occasion and i agree with him....difference between Pyro and Obama is the intent behind the words, Pyro aint putting me down......im a poor white boy that was born ad raised and is living on an Indian reservation.......been called every name in the book in several languages......in all reality names mean lil to me themselves, the intent behind them means everything....i damn near knocked out the city police chiefs brother(who happens to be the fire department chief, gotta love small towns) cause of how he has talked to my wife.......no derogatory language was used, infact he was very PC.....however the intent behind the words means everything.........
