mack - 29 Aug 2008 18:34 GMT I'm elated that McLame has picked Palin as his vice-presidential candidate. If I ever got drunk enough to vote for McShame, I'd think twice about picking a guy who's had a bad cancer (and other?) health problems, who's 72 years of age, who seems to be losing it mentally with many errors which could mean early senility, and whose backup is a woman whose only real claim to fame is that she was mayor of a town in Alaska which seems to be the model for the town in "Northern Exposure". Oh yeah, I forgot, she's also nailed a full year and a half as the state's governor, and was runner up to Miss Alaska in a beauty contest two decades ago....and we all know that beauty contest winners have really high IQs. "My wish is for the world to have peace and love, and that Santa visits all the starving children."
This nomination for v p is the last nail in the old man's coffin. It's Obama and Biden for certain! I'm elated.

You should be comparing Palin to Biden. But then, there's no comparison, is there? A party hack opposed to a woman with a brain.
But, seriously a comparison between Palin and Biden is more fitting, since McCain will probably suffer a stroke (sorry...stolen from "Commander In Chief", if you remember that short lived series with my Amazon Goddess) and Barack is probably going to be lynched somewhere below the Mason-Dixon...

No kidding, Jeff? She doesn't have a lot of foreign relations experience? Why I thought she'd be at least aware that Europe is East and Japan is West of us. The only thing I know about her is that she has five children, the youngest being four months....and her eldest, a son, goes to Iraq next month. And the fact that she wants to get polar bears taken OFF the endangered species list. and guess what? she's a hunter of moose (and polar bears when the time arrives?) and is a life member of the NRA. And that's quite enough for me to know about the lady. She's pro gun and pro life. and it 's bye bye from me.

I am not going to let someone's opinion on something that is not going to affect many of us (in this case pro-gun and anti-choice - pro life really means against abortion and the death penalty) sway my opinion one way or the other. Considering that we all depend on the environment for life and man has had major impacts on the environment by destroying rain forests, degrading water quality, depleting fresh water supplies, changing many ecosystems and wiping thousands of species off the plant, I would include the environment with other major qualifications, including foreign policy, the military, education and the economy. Her views on guns and abortion pale in comparison.

I understand that she's quite satisfied with the death penalty. You can't kill 'em at the front end of life, but the back end of life is fine and dandy. A true "Christian", huh?
And I really don't want to see (as she evidently does) polar bears being shot, especially from airplanes. To me, she's on the wrong side of almost every issue....and that's disturbing. She's of course an evangelical Christian, (big surprise!) and doesn't apparently mind getting in people's faces about it. We can ezpect a whole lot more prayer breakfasts in DC if she gets in.

With all the other issues with which to contend, abortion should be at the bottom of the list, but Democrats have this tendency to put it as a priority issue. Like I said, who cares? By the time they get done cleaning up the mess, it'll be election time again, and then abortion can become a non-issue again.
Abortion is a non-issue, except to Democrats. Roe v Wade was passed 37 years ago. It hasn't been overturned yet, and most likely never will. Find another issue to whine about.

No, and if you'd reread my posts, you'd be aware of that. But on average, beauty contest winners are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. While the smart cookies are studying, they're picking out clothes and plucking their eyebrows and reading Elle (or looking at the pictures.). I think even Bert Parks would agree with me that pageant winners are, by and large, not intellectual types..

He is saying that every woman is an empty headed bimbo. Winning a beauty contest just cements the deal.

I'm sorry that you seem to have such a low opinion of women, though. I thought the residents of San Diego were smarter than that.

Anybody that reads your words comes away thinking you are both racist and sexist. If you want people to think differently, maybe you should consider your remarks. Empty headed bimbo is a bad description if you value the position of women.

Sen. Obama taught constitutional law for several years (he understands the Constitution, something Bush doesn't), and he was a Ill. State Senator for 8 years. He was also president of the Harvard Law Review, which demonstrates that other lawyers understood that he had a great understanding of the law.

Barack Obama never took advantage of affirmative action and didn't even say he was black on his application to Harvard law school. And how do you explain him graduating magna cum laude when affirmative action makes exceptions for applicants but doesn't boost grades?
From what college did you graduate? If I guess that it wasn't from an Ivy League school or Cal Tech and that you weren't magna cum laude, would I be right?

Although "W" has been a fool, I go so far as to say educated, in fact, maybe he is entitled to at least a partial refund from the schools he attended.

As a native Floridian, still with many friends and relatives from there, and a graduate of the state's once great university system, what's disturbing is that the voters elected Jeb--twice. He did a tremendous amount of damage to Florida during his two terms as governor. Now Charlie Crist, he actually does seem to be pretty smart. Occasionally a good Republican somehow makes it through, like my current governor in California.
Voting Republican is something I rarely can stomach, the vast majority of them are pathological liars, intent on rewarding their oil company and big business comrades while destroying the environment as much as possible. They remind me of the communists in the former Soviet Union, and the present communist party in China. Yet Arnie is okay. He was better than the Democratic candidate, something that rarely happens in the U.S., let alone in California. Then again, Arnie sleeps with a Democrat.

I'm a native too, but have no plans to live there, despite the presence of my entire family. We claim Florida as our Air Force home of record (no state tax!), but when hubby retires, we're going back up to New Hampshire.

There is nothing wrong with legally arranging your affairs to pay the least amount of tax. In most states, if you live there more than a certain number of months per year then you are considered a resident. I guess it's different in the military.

In the military, you can claim your home state, a state you've lived in sometime in your life, or your spouse's home state as your home-of-record.
Obviously, hubby and I claim Florida because I was born and raised there. You *do* have to have an address in that state, though. We use my mother's.
Hubby is from Massachusetts, and as Hachi can tell you, it's not called "tax-a-chusetts" for nothing (we're not retiring there, either - we're going back to New Hampshire, another state tax-free state). North Carolina (where we're currently stationed) isn't much better; if we claimed North Carolina, we'd have to pay over $3,000 a year in state taxes to a place we'll never live again.
I dare anyone to say they would fork that over, when they could avoid it. If they say they would, I say they're a damned liar.

The last two didn't work out so well.
Besides, you should be comparing Palin with Biden, which no one is doing. Why is that, I wonder. Biden pales in comparison?

Palin doesn't even know what the VP does: “I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me, what is it exactly that the V.P. does every day?” Ms. Palin told Mr. Kudlow. “I’m used to being very productive and working real hard.”
What a brilliant pick by Sec. McCain.

Well, Golllleee, as Gomer used to say. I hope she works Real Hard and is Very Productive, and that come November 5, she'll get on the plane back to the governor's office in Alaska. The main thing (other than twenty others) about her that I cannot take is that voice. Henry Higgins might say it would shatter glass. If I were (ugh) her husband and had to come home to that voice, I'd rather quickly start thinking about the brake lines in her car, and my tin snips.

Bad cancer? I suppose there is no such thing as good cancer, but on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst, McCain's bout with skin cancer is a 1, twice.
health problems, who's 72

Mayor of a small town AND the Governor of a state larger (population and budget) than Delaware. Wait, isn't Biden from Delaware? I guess that doesn't really matter, as US Senator, he does not concern himself with trivial matters such as budget and management.

I'm not convinced she is the best man for the job, so to speak, but she is clearly not the wrong man for the job. I tend to applaud her qualities as I know them today, but I know very little about her.
