GOP VP thread: Palin is the pick

This argument is lame and you know it. People make choices for political reasons every day

I mean, my God, if Biden had the same back-story and was a black guy, would he have even been considered? In fact, how many "brothers" did Obama really consider?

Zero -- why because he knew he needed an older white male.

And using the logic of some of you with regards to "racism" being the only way Obama can lose, well if McCain loses, it has to be sexism.

One other thing -- that silly diatribe about Hillary Clinton versus Sarah Palin was plain ridiculous.

Why? Simple, Palin is where she is today on her own merits, on her own strength. Hillary, meanwhile, is where she is today because of who she married and what last name she adopted.

In other words, one is riding the coat tails of a man, the other is not, so yes, I can see what you are saying - they aren't very similar.

 

The capital letters make it true.

Run along, rube.

 

To sound like a statesman you have to sound logical, reasonable. He's a talented orator, a slick salesman. That's a long way from being a true statesman.

 

No, the fact he's the most liberal Democrat to win the party's nomination make it true. He will raise taxes. He has said so in many code words -- "these things aren't free." He used a phrase like that multiple times in the Rick Warren interview.

 

Perhaps if he adopted a a style, manner. Typing like this without a clue, a hope of an idea. He'd sound like a message board rube.

Run along.

 

And of course he's right (about taxes).

 

Most voters spent more time "getting to know" McCain before voting for him, than he did in choosing Palin. Stunning.
Even if she turns out to be a great pick, I don't want a President who takes these kinds of things so lightly.
And the line Biden should use is "I served with Dan Quayle, Governor. You're no Dan Quayle."
And if some white kid named Joe Smith who came from nothing and nowhere, inspired people the same way Obama did, yeah he'd have the nomination. And he did in 1992 when his name was Bill Clinton. We reelected him.
I suspect McCain might plan on trying to salvage this by announcing Lieberman as his pick for Defense and Patraeus as his Secretary of State next week.

And these banner ads with McPalin look suspiciously like newspaper stories linking two people in an unprofessional way. They've got to get to work.

And if Obama isn't a statesman, why are the Iraqis and Bush following his foreign policy all of the sudden?

 

Those things aren't free. You want to have nice stuff? Guess what? You have to pay for them. If you don't want to pay for them, wear animal skins and live in a cave for all I care, but for God's sake do it in some other nation because I don't want you destroying my nation.

 

Once again, nobody from the left wants to talk about the fact that Obama has no experience. You want to blast the GOP's No. 2, but nobody wants to own up to the fact Obama is a personality, not a president. And yeah, he might well win. It'll prove we have finally eroded to the point that the "cooler" guy wins, regardless of his credentials to be president.

 

Will one of the conservatives here please justify the idea of picking a VP after one meeting?

And leave Barack Obama and his qualifications out of the conversation. He won 18 million votes in a year-long, nationwide primary. He was chosen through a democratic process. Palin was chosen by one man after one meeting.

 

You can say he has no experience, but that was not the judgment rendered by 18 million people voting across the nation in primaries.
