Dr. Chris wrote:I am sure she is a fine and intelligent woman. And I am not saying I want Obama but I would like to pose the obvious question, John McCain is 72 with a history of health problems. Would this person be who you would want in office leading our country? I mean she may bring some valuable experience in certain areas to the table, but as an all around leader for the whole ball of wax concerning economics, education, health care, war etc… you don’t think he could have made a wiser choice? I believe it will get a lot of attention at first but when time expires and the excitement and shock factor wares off and the dust settles, especially after the debates I believe this is going to be the most one-sided presidential race in history, I don’t even think it will be close at all. Obama will be celebrating his victory by 10:00 come election night. I also believe that Clinton followers are going to be more "insulted" than anything else with McCain trying to provide a replacement and that they will be pushed further towards Obama.

I take it you're not a Doctor of statistics?
McCain has been up in the polls and that is even with the drive media trying their darndest to get Obama elected. Their is such a media bias in this country it is almost laughable. All the conservatives have is AM radio. The big networks all have Obama in their sights, except for Fox News that is. I heard the same thing when Gore was supposed to have been elected. I still say it is way too early to predict one or the other but I am not so quick to rule out McCain or the worst possible candidate ever.
Why should I vote for Obama? I could less about Bush, tell me about Obama and his experience????

Wiser MAYBE but better NO!!
Its a Good move POLITICALY..
As far as Experience..
I Would Say Raising a Family holding Down a couple jobs And being In Charge of one of the most Controversial States in the Union (IE Economical VS Environmental) Should be More than O has Done he has had Others helping him All Along telling him What to Say and When to Say it. has he or His Family Ever wanted For Anything???
As far as Dealing With medical issues i think Raising a Child With Downs Syndrome Would give a person a Whole lot better outlook on the medical Situation In this Country Than having a private Dr Telling you when you need to take a Aspirin.
At least She has her OWN ideas About how to get things Done other than Just listening to a known Terrorist And His buds Tellin you how you should do it..(Puppet masters Pullin Strings)
As Far as Budgeting Goes Who better than A Working Mom to know how to Spend a Dollar...
And She was Brought up in the Public School System instead of being able to pick What School She wanted to go to
So Education i would give it to her Hands Down...
AND I bet She has a LOT better grasp on REALITY when it Comes to War.
As Far as Dealing With the Major leaders of the third World Counties and the Islamic Factions yeah She may have a few problems there..
These Folks just Are Afraid to try and Deal With A Woman that has a mind of her Own..
Those of us that have been married For Awhile probably understand this better than those that have not or have always just had their Women Afraid to Speak up Around them its FEAR just Plain Fear!!!!
I Think it Would be GOOD for this Country myself JMHO but if I caint get Ron Paul I will take MCain With THIS Running mate .
She Will give us the Balance we need....Good Ol Common Sence

My problem is this:

McCain has spent the last couple of months running Obama into the ground about NOT being qualified on the first day. I liked the fact that McCain is stable and has the experience in this election. I feel the next President should have that in order to lead this nation with all of these problems they are walking into. I personally feel McCain is a hypocrite now! He chose Palin which is a good choice if you look at her separately, but not when you look at what McCain has tried to use to boost his own campaign by attacking Obama’s experience. I’m not 100% sure who i will vote for yet. I'm just looking at everything and showing my feelings on here as these two dumb a$$ make stupid choices. I personally don't like either one right now, and this entire election is really pissing me off. Today, McCain is a hypocrite, and Obama is dumb for not picking Hillary.

Please don't take my comments to seriously. I'm letting my feeling out here because i feel that this is a really tough decision and when you’re on the fence like I am it kind of makes things even harder to figure out who is the better candidate.

I read everyone’s comments and look at every point! So, thanks to everyone who is posting!

paducahky1 Good Post

Steve I can see your point on some of this, the lady he picked has an idea what we go through

Obama hangs with people who are anti USA and they are proud of it

Obama will hurt us more in the long run

Don’t sacrifice the present for the future

I am very grateful that I live in a country where we have The Bill Of Rights to openly speak freely. I also enjoy my right to hunt, own guns and use them within the confines of the law and many other civil liberties. I don't like the political correctness and multiculturalism that is being pushed down my throat by the liberal left on a daily basis. I will choose my president based on who best will guarantee they will not screw up what our forefathers faught and died for. Everyone has the right to choose whom they wish come election day and I have no problem with that either. Glad we are having an educated and honest discussion here without it turning ugly.

Do you know why the liberals are so out of sorts with this pick of a running mate by McCain?? Its because she doesnt have a 30 year track record they can exploit like the Republicans can with Biden...they dont have her on tape badmouthing McCain like the Republicans do with Biden...she is pretty, conservative, articulate, tough and DOES have executive experience, something that ALL the other candidates lack...she is not a product of liberal entitlements and programs, she doesnt have a problem with hunting, owning guns, eats wild animals, is not a card carrying member of PETA and doesnt need Hollywood syncophants to make her feel good about herself.
She is self sufficient, married, against abortion, pro second ammendment, against homosexual marriage, did I mention pretty???

This and so much more makes her the IDEAL running mate...I actually like the fact that the liberals DONT like her...makes me like her even more.

Obama only has one term of federal government experience, and i liked McCain simply because he brought that experience. Now, McCain chooses Palin who has less experience than Obama! You have to ask yourself this: Is she capable of being the next President? We all know McCain is only one heart attack away from the grave at 72 years old. This fact really bothers me. Sure she is a great running mate, but not a great choice to be our President. When you vote for one you have to look at both and agree that they both can get the job done!

Obama is a high risk selection in my book. High risk equals big reward. If he can keep his promises he could actually turn this country into something positive, but his shadiness is out there! Is he a fake? The fact that he has voted PRESENT on so many issues is a black flag. He gives good speeches, and sounds like he is the man for change, but can you really trust a man who has never done anything but give good speeches?

I like the choice at least I know she closer to the working americans level of living then the washington politicians are. That would be a real change someone who understands how normal working people live. I can't base my vote on what might happen McCain could out live her for all I know.

What I do know is Obama doesn't salute the flag and pledge allegiance and he has ties to to the muslim beliefs. He also spent a lot time under the tutoring of his pastor Jeramiah Wright. His voting record or lack there of doesn't give me the feeling that he is the guy to lead this country.

I'll take my chances with McCain at least I know he has served his country and bled for his country. I can respect that.

To all who say she has no experience...I say she has more experience than Obama. As gov. she has to make decisions all the time. Look at Obamas voting record. How many times did he vote. Obama has been running for pres. ever since he got the senate seat. Look at his connections with Ayers. Anyone that votes for Obama either didn't do any research on him, going with the crowd because it's the cool thing to do, hates this country, or has a weak mind and lets the liberal media tell them how to vote.

Dr. Chris · Post by **Dr. Chris** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 7:35 pm

I want to post a couple of things because there needs to be some balance and “reality” involved in a conversation like this. I am not an Obama supporter, but facts are facts and we can’t keep ignoring the facts and make-up things as we go to try to make something look better or worse than what it is.

The fact is, Obama had 8 years at state level government service and now 3 years in the Senate. This brings it to a total of 11 years. As you can see "below" he has been involved for years writing, sponsoring and getting bills past at a state and federal level.

Palis, was on the PTA, than to city counsel, than to Mayor of a very small town, than to elected Governor of Alaska for 2 years. She has passed 1 bill to stop a major mistake in the “bridge to no-where”, which was already in progress when she took office and she has co-sponsored a few other bills that have passed. It is insane to compare the Leadership abilities and experience of her and Obama. I give her credit for what she has done in her small town as Mayor of 250 people and her 2 years as Governor of Alaska which is the size ”population” of Louisville, KY and her 85% approval rating taken in a poll of 3000 people but now we are talking about leading the United States of America. Just because a great High School coach goes 10-0 and has a perfect season, that does not mean he is ready to go coach the New York Yankees. In November I look for an absolute slaughter.

I actually believe, because the “Bush” 8 years has been so horrible, I think the Republican Party thought they didn’t have a chance. But I think they thought it would be Edwards and Clinton and Obama came from nowhere and was a total shock. McCain could have had a shot and knowing this now I would say the Republican party now wishes that they would have put their best out there instead of letting McCain go thru the motions so they could focus on 2012. I feel they went into this election with 2012 in their sites, and they probably still do.

Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 570 bills in the 109th and 110th Congress.
Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 15 bills that have become LAW since he joined the Senate in 2005.
Senator Obama has also introduced amendments to 50 bills, of which 16 were adopted by the Senate.
Most of his legislative effort has been in the areas of:

 Energy Efficiency and Climate Change (25 bills)
 Health care (21 bills) and public health (20 bills)
 Consumer protection/labor (14 bills)
 The needs of Veterans and the Armed Forces (13 bills)
 Congressional Ethics and Accountability (12 bills)
 Foreign Policy (10 bills)
 Voting and Elections (9 bills)
 Education (7 bills)
 Hurricane Katrina Relief (6)
 The Environment (5 bills)
 Homeland Security (4 bills)
 Discrimination (4 bills)

Bet she doesn't hang out with terrorists or terrorist sympathisers Dr. Chris. Obama has done nothing. He has been absent on the many critical votes to hide is true agenda. You can post all the metrics you want but I am not impressed with your "facts" or arguement. The things listed in your chart are insignificant to me and I doubt he authored them all by himself if at all and only did so that when he was put on the ballot so people like you would post it on the internet. He has been running for president for eight years. There was a show on TV several years ago where a talking head stated that Obama was going to be the next Democratic nominee for president. How did he know that so many years ago? This has all been carefully orchestrated shorlty after Gore lost the last election.
Hmmm, let me see, do I want to vote in a war veteran who stands for something or a friend of terrorists like Obama. It's a NO BRAINER.

Remember this is McCain verses Obama NOT Palin verses Obama.
