[sanfordssj]

Come on! This guy is out of it, and this pic just proves that he has a case of altimers disease. He sealed his fate with me, I was actually on the fence until today! This is the experience that I will NOT let run this country win the old man dies. Another Oil man, I mean Woman!!! We better get ready for another 4 years of Bush if this Magnificent duo makes it! She couldn't even win a lieutenant governor race in her own state, and officially only has 3 years government experience! What is the guy thinking to put someone like this on his ticket?

Sounds like she is a normal person that has experienced the same type life we have. Not a person born into money and has not work, or understands what life is about.

Unlike Barack, hell, who knows where his money came from. Who paid for his college, house, etc?
What has Barack done besides give a good speech?

If you REALLY think about it, I think it's smart move. All this week at the DNC all they kept preaching was the "get ready for another 4 yrs of Bush" Maybe McCain it showing that it won't be. I think there could be a big upside to this. She seems to be an Avg 'joe" and maybe that is what is needed. Sean

[Pike Ridge Beagles]

When I read McCain's pick alls I could do is smile and say to myself....wow, this is a very smart move. Yes, a political move, but VERY smart.

[sanfordssj]

Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies. That's not the change we need, it's just more of the same!

Weather Underground bombed the Capital a few years ago
1. They declared war on the USA
2. One of the Leaders William Ayers Proudly admits to the bombing
3. In 2001 William Ayers states “we did not do enough”
4. Obama is friends and defends this man
5. Obama’s political career started in William Ayers’s home

And you fell off the fence for this? You served this country and this is ok?

Just give me your guns now. They will be better used by me than Obama melting them down.

Again Steve, these are facts. Who is the best choice?

I can't believe he pick her now she is one heart beat away from being president. IT should have been romney . IT's OVER

[Dr. Chris]

McCain just put the last nail in the Republican Party’s coffin. His biggest complaint concerning Obama, he is too young and inexperienced. He than goes and picks a woman from Alaska that is younger than Obama and has less experience. McCain is 72 years old with health problems, he stated that the criteria that he is using to pick a vice is somebody that is skilled and experienced that he would feel comfortable handing the presidency over to. He picks a young woman with no experience except for being Mayor of a small town and a Governor of a state that has less people than Louisville, KY, and she’s only been there for two years. Out of all the people to pick from, He must have lost his mind. Who is guiding this guy? Unbelievable!

sanford and casey.............those are the exact words that were on the ticker on fox news..........original?....I am a small business owner and talking with my customers(middle class), they all think it is a good choice. They all have a different out look now. Again maybe mcCain is trying to give us something different than the same old, same old.Sean

If you have to wonder what he is thinking that should tell you something! Maybe McCain isn't the right choice and he fell off the deep end today! Anybody who shoots from the hip like this doesn't deserve to have the responsibility to be President! My choice was made today, the "Maverick" is a loose cannon! She is a great choice if America needs to know if there is enough snow for the Iditarod dog-mushing race. 20 months experience in a town of 6,500 is unbelievable! YOU GO McCain; any idiot out there could have picked a better running mate!

Steve, I would like to know what you think about my post -- Facts about Obama:

Weather Underground bombed the Capital a few years ago
1. They declared war on the USA
2. One of the Leaders William Ayers Proudly admits to the bombing
3. In 2001 William Ayers states “we did not do enough”
4. Obama is friends and defends this man
5. Obama’s political career started in William Ayers’s home

Who better to know the Exact effects Drilling for oil in Alaska Could have than SOMEONE Who actually lives and Works there???
We are gonna need this Experience when it Comes to Fighting the Right Wing Ecco Extremist and the Global Warming Mongers out there... AK has some of the best minds when it Comes to How to Coexist with the environment....
Who better than the Average person to know HOW and What it takes to Survive in todays World.
At least She aint from one of the most Corrupt Cities in the US..has A Working knowledge of How to balance a budget!!
She is also lifetime member of the NRA Dont know to many Folks in AK that Dont Own and KNOW how to use a gun...
A Place Were Hunting and Fishing and the outdoors are a Way of life!!!
AND if ANYBODY on here HAS EVER been involved in LOCAL Gov they Would have a understanding of How it actually Works...
i Would MUCH rather have a person that has had to Deal With Folks ONE on ONE instead of thru their Mouthpieces..
I like his Choice myself.
Read This!!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Pali ... experience
now try to tell me she Does not have the Experience or the Grit to Stand up to the Big oil Co's
Going AGAINST big oil and party lines in What She felt Was best for the people of the State!!!
Now WE Could use some of that GRIT on the HILL dont ya think????

Details of Palin's personal life have contributed to her political image. She hunts, eats moose hamburger, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, has run a marathon, and owns a float plane.[23][86] Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She admits that she used marijuana at a time when the state had legalized possession of small amounts (though possession was still illegal under federal law). She says that she did not like it and does not smoke it now, and she does not support legalizing marijuana, worrying about the message it would send to her kids.[19] In December 2007, Palin posed for a photo spread in Vogue.
SHOOT I like her even more After doing More research!!!!!!

Read What She Did to The Corrupt Big Oil Mongers in her Own State and in Her own party...
Sounds like she Aint gonna Take No crap!!!!!

We'll see come election day my friends. I think he made an excellent choice. More to come.
The drive by media is already trying to dismantle her credibilty and experience but you never hear them talking about Obama's NON experience or voting...or should I say NON voting record. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing and any idiot can see that but this country is so dumbed down I am not surprised. Maybe we should get what we deserve and I can't see how any veteran could vote for Obamo Bin Laden. Disgracefull at best. He spits on the graves of every veteran out there. Our forefathers would roll over in their graves if they seen the state of affairs in America today. We live in such a Godless and selfish country these days. SHAME!
And, if anyone has the delusion that the economy under Obama will be like it was under Bill Clinton they are sadly mistaken. Clinton benefited on Reaganomics. Sorry to say but we have been at war for quite awhile and it ain't happening. He'll just cut the military and tax you to death and give the money to his liberal lobby and vote in their liberal agenda and multiculturalism. Make us a weak third world or should I say ONE WORLD country. Guess I better hurry up and sell all my guns except for that ole 20 gauge sitt'n in the corner of the room collecting dust. That's all that will be legal, if I'm lucky, if this azzclown gets elected.
Wake up America.

Good post TC....SPOT ON!

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.
