McCain Picks his VP

[Tug McGroin]

He is currently in excellent health with cancer in remission. You HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY WORK IS ON A PROFESSIONAL BASIS, AND I am an authority on matters of health and disease.

In your last post you claimed “McCain is not a healthy guyâ€￾, now you’re saying that McCain is in excellent health. So what’s it going to be Doctor Pitbull?

Exactly how does a medical professional of your stator make such a dire prognosis of a patient’s health based on reports publish in newspapers, magazines or internet media? You seem to have made a diagnosis based on conditions not described in the articles. Are you telling me that you have physically examined McCain and evaluated his most recent medical examinations and are in professional disagreement with the medical prognosis given by doctors at the Mayo Clinic? Or is it that you just need something, anything to back up your otherwise flimsy argument that McCain is not medically fit to run for the oval office.

My father was also cancer free until his lymphoma came back. He lived another 5 months.

So sorry for your loss KCFlyer, I know you miss him so much.

A fellow naval aviator and great friend of mine, healthy as a horse and strong as a Bull, died in a car accident state side last year.

You don’t stop living your life and pursuing your dreams out of fear of dying.

To your point, I’m not convinced that Obama knows what a President does. As a running mate, Obama has picked a career Washington insider who is just as responsible for the quagmire that exists in American politics as Obama claims McCain is. Far from “changeâ€, Biden is just more of the same.

As far as I’m concerned, McCain just pulled the rug out from Obama’s “hope†and “change†DNCC convention. For very obvious reasons, Obama had better think twice before he starts an ad campaign that challenges Palin’s political experience. Obama should also be concerned about where a large majority of the Hillary vote will go.

To your please see statement, Obama has two years of experience as a U.S. Senator, oh boy, oh boy, what’s your point?

And McCain better think twice before he challenges Obama's experience. Oh, wait ..too late!

At least in the Senate, Obama has had exposure to foreign policy and national security issues.

It actually does amuse me to hear Obama supporters attack her experience, just as much as it amuses me to hear McCain supporters think she's ready to fill a job where she may have to be President at a moment's notice.

But, this pick also highlights how stupid most voters are. One reason she was chosen was for the possiblity that she may take some women voters away from Obama. Anyone that would support one candidate, then support one with totally different viewpoints just because his VP is a woman--that person doesn't deserve to vote.

No history being made with that pick...that's been done (Farraro) before and they lost!. The only thing extraordinary that will occur is that OBAMA-Biden will win. You can take that to the bank!

So typical of McCain...a political whore that would pick a female looking for the female vote...and one who HAS ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE ON ECONOMICS OR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. But on a bright note...I'M QUITE PLEASED WITH THIS PICK...EXTREMELY PLEASED.

she was interviewed on CNBC and didin't know what a VP does!!!!!!!!! The media will have a field day with this.

I can just do the visual now...McCain expires and she becomes president....

P.S. Get this, she's been govenor for two years...oh boy, oh boy, what an expereinced platform.

Her claim to fame: "She's been an NRA member her entire life! Good job McCain, show's your great senior judgement...AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY 72 AND STILL KICKING.

And what---you were FA for 20 years or so and then all of a sudden-- like this women you’re bad mouthing-- wanted to do something to change things, make things better for the little guy. On your own account you claim you did well fighting the brass, although far removed now in a different world.

My point is--- who in the hell are you to criticize this women when she is no different than you are! Hell, in reality you two are not much different! Both full of spunk determined to make a difference and both commanding an audience.

Just because you hate the GOP why blast our own gender when you should be proud instead of bitter! I hope this women becomes our VP and then you can sit back and cry yourself to sleep at night wondering where you went wrong in your convoluted and obviously bitter thinking.


Love Me Forever

Those geniuses at Fox News have nailed down her qualifications to be VP:

[Pain at the Pump]

Sen. McCain(in an article that I read just today/sun)(Yahoo news) was "trumpeting" Gov. Palins membership in her local PTA, as a (VP) qualifying event.

?

Jesus was not black. Jesus was Jewish and that makes him caucasian or, at the very least, Middle Eastern. By your statement, you are saying that Jewish people are black. Any Jews care to chime in?

I'm exiting this discussion because I've made my point and there's no point in beating the same drum. You guys know what's going to happen in the voting booth...you can campaign all you want for whoever you want, but that turn in the voting booth is what matters.

I guess you've never heard of sephardim or lemba or ethiopian jews.
Just so you know I am a black Jew and no I didn't convert.

Please shut up now before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.

Any chance that McCain back pedals on his VP pick? Or is he just sending additional teams to Alaska to fully prep for the dem onslaught?

"Aides to Mr. McCain said they had a team on the ground in Alaska now to look more thoroughly into Ms. Palin’s background. A Republican with ties to the campaign said the team assigned to vet Ms. Palin in Alaska had not arrived there until Thursday, a day before Mr. McCain stunned the political world with his vice-presidential choice. The campaign was still calling Republican operatives as late as Sunday night asking them to go to Alaska to deal with the unexpected candidacy of Ms. Palin."

Disclosures on Palin Raise Questions on Vetting Process

On a more humorous note, Intrade, an online prediction market based in Dublin, created a contract Tuesday morning on the likelihood that John McCain will drop Palin as his running mate.

It is currently hovering at 10.2%.

If he did that.....its over for him....he hit a homer and better stay with it.

I heard Limbaugh and Quinn talking about that....

 

[Cosworth]

I'm with Dell. If McCain were to dump Palin he might as well with draw from the race. He is stuck with her as his running mate. I cannot help but wonder if anyone in his campaign was aware or supported this choice. She was not vetted properly and it seems as she will do more harm than good.

She will not get any of the Clinton supporters due to her outrageous beliefs on abortion and ID. She is a big business whore and a religious nut job. There might be some independents who will vote for her but I am guessing that most will go for Obama.

I believe this was a very good choice for Obama.

Just saw this on a T-Shirt, and think it's perfectly suited to the issues at hand:

"He's black, he's cool, he makes the left wing drool....

But she can gut a moose...

Screw obama.......Vote American!"

So Lily, how's that prediction thing coming? Is there any doubt that the race moves forward?

Heck if I know. You can go to Intrade to find out; you have the source. It is not my prediction.

You can even put $$ on it if you wish.
