RDog 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Okay, I am curious. If McCain does win, I can't imagine he would possibly run for a 2nd term at his age. Is THIS really the Republican nominee for 2012? Really? Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 This is the wonderful thing about republicans, before this pick that was that they wanted to talk about. This was a key in there attacks of Obama. Now that they have a political unknown with no exp outside of her state it isn't a real issue. I was just watching one talking head talk about how her time serving on her local PTA was valuable life expierence. Maybe to run for Governor of Alaska. This pick is such an obvious attempt to say "hey look at us, we can have a historical choice on our ticket too!" It is an absolute concern to people that care about these things. She would not be ready to lead a country. However logic hasn't seemed to be a great trait that a number of voters seem to have.How can you in the same paragraph criticize people for picking on the Head of the Democratic Ticket for lack of experience and then criticize the Republican VP pick for her lack of experience?

Is THIS really the Republican nominee for 2012? Really?Only if they want to see HRC in the big chair. Cause IF Obama loses it will no doubt be Hillary in 2012. Of course McBush could keel over and then she is the incumbent President. Yikes!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ummmm what a shock... a shill for the radical right wing of the republican party is throwing his support behind this choice.Rush has been HIGHLY critical of McCain. Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that he does support this pick is a big indicator of what many conservatives will think. Link to post Share on other sites

Yikes!!!Impossible to even speculate 4 years into the future, but I'd think that if Sarah Palin were to run with 4 years of VP experience that Hillary would have a very difficult time head-to-head with her.

Is THIS really the Republican nominee for 2012? Really?McCain has always said that he is a one term guy and would have no plans to run a second time. He aint crazy.Rush has been HIGHLY critical of McCain.yes, this is true.I am still in shock, but am beginning to maybe re think it.....but man...SO weird!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

nutzbuster 7 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Haven't read all the posts but this is shocking and mind boggling. With all the talk about Obama not being able to lead on "Day 1" does anyone feel comfortable with this woman being president if McCain croaks? It's not like that's not a very real concern... he's old! I get that she may be able to win over some Hillary voters, but I think her addition is going to scare away some McCain voters who jump ship the other way. I think McCain makes a big mistake here and age has all of a sudden become an even bigger issue. Had he chosen a more established VP that could "lead on day one" I think people would have felt more comfortable voting for McCain. Now people voting for McCain have to consider the real possibility of putting the country in her hands.For once we agree more than not.a stunner....can't wait for the VP debate Link to post Share on other sites

irishguy 14 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I think it's funny that some republicans who have used lack of experience as the biggest knock on Obama would at all try to defend this. You defend it with the "well at least she's not number one on the ticket..." but the fact is this selection is directly against what a lot McCains campaign has been stating.

You defend it with the "well at least she's not number one on the ticket..." but the fact is this selection is directly against what a lot McCains campaign has been stating. In a weird, clever, way, Palin's inexperience serves to illuminate Obama's...and so Democrats, especially Joe Biden, would probably be wise to tread carefully here. The Republicans can easily make the argument that they got their ticket order rightside up--experience over a compelling new face--and the Democrats got their order upside down. They can make that argument...we'll see how it flies. Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 McCain is not a real conservative. That is why he isn't liked by many.Which sort of cracks me up about the debate in this thread. The same Liberals who want to link McCain to Bush and the Ultra Right, now criticize him for picking a Woman that, while very conservative, certainly goes AGAINST what would have been considered the safe "Party Line" Pick. They want to criticize the Republicans for targeting the lack of experience at the HEAD of the Democratic Ticket by pointing out the lack of experience for their VP pick - who has at least as much experience as BHO. They want to discount Rush's support of the pick, but can't do so without admitting that McCain is an outsider to the Right Wing. They want to accuse McCain of representing "4 more years of the same" and bowing to the Republican old school, but then LOL at him losing the "red-neck vote".All of the knee-jerk Liberal arguments against McCain are beginng to implode.Perhaps they should try some arguments FOR their own candidate, instead of arguments AGAINST Bush and McCain?

Nimue1995 1 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I feel much more comfortable with Obama's level of experience than I would with Sarah Palin. Com'on people, who would you rather have across the table from Putin? Margaret Thatcher she ain't. Link to post Share on other sites
