If they came, it would surely scare the Independents, but I just read Rod Dreher’s Crunchy Con (Breeders), and am fascinated because “Michael” said this…
“I now think that Mr. McCain, in the ultimate act of sacrificial patriotism, has nominated this unqualified woman knowing full well that it will crash and burn the election. As Dr. Sullivan argues, the GOP now is primarily a religious organization. We need to get it back to its earlier focus on sensible economics and foreign policy, i.e. burn it up and start over. McCain agrees, so he is giving the absurd ‘Christianists’ (Dr. Sullivan’s term) exactly what they want, so that when McCain-Palin loses by a landslide, ‘Christianism’ in the GOP will be permanently de-legitimized.”
If this is true, they should both go to the FRC event. Palin may try to set them straight on ethics(!). Seriously, I am not about to guess why Sarah Palin is on the ticket, but there IS something truly ingenious about it, as well as disengenuous.

It has now been more than seven days since Sarah Palin was introduced. All we’ve seen is her do is read a speech penned by one of George W. Bush’s speech writers. What I want to see is her do several interviews with bona fide media outlets that won’t treat her with kid gloves, and Fox News and People Magazine don’t count. If she’s really what people are hoping she is then she should be ready on day one. Day one begins now. After all, what happens if McCain dies tomorrow?
Republicans need to consider McCain’s age and how this works out now because Palin is the next in line.
In addition I want to hear straight policy pitches. Enough with personality. Especially since that’s what Republicans are accusing Democrats of embracing. If Sarah Palin says she’ll advocate for children with special needs, I want to know the details.
I also think Mrs. Palin owes an apology to community organizers who actually take on great responsibilities voluntarily. Otherwise she is a governmental elitist and a hypocrite since Republicans decry elitism in government.
Families are off limits. Policy details are on the table.

Mrs. Palin owes an apology to no one, community organizer or otherwise. If Mr. Hussein tries to ridicule her experience, she has every right to point out that hers excels his.

I read Palin’s track record (Casting Stones/comments) this morning and have come to the conclusion that not only is she NOT qualified to be V.P., she is dangerous.
She is vindictive and reckless. While she is loved by the majority of people of the Religious Right and the citizens of Alaska, she has the heart of a pit bull and will rip out the throat of anybody that gets in her way. This is not a leader, this is a bully.
God forgive America if we elect to hot headed bullies to the White House.

Where did you post your prayer asking for forgiveness when Hell to Pay Hillary was running or when Bill got elected with a trail of more dead bodies around than one can imagine?

“Mrs. Palin owes an apology to no one, community organizer or otherwise. If Mr. Hussein tries to ridicule her experience, she has every right to point out that hers excels his.”
The second sentence of the above only logically follows the first sentence if one believes that the only community organizer that has ever existed is Mr. Obama (“Hussein” is his middle, not hist last, name).
“…when Bill got elected with a trail of mor dead bodies around than one can imagine”.
Name one, libeler.

T: “If Mr. Hussein tries to ridicule her experience, she has every right to point out that hers excels his.”
If the ghost of Saddam Hussein comes after Palin, maybe Bush can call up the Pope and arrange an exorcism. Oh, wait, I see what’s going on. You were making fun of Obama’s name like the Republicans have been doing since day one for lack of a better strategy. My mistake.

Even though I am a Republican., I do not support unethical practices such as lying to constituents to get a vote. Speaking of such, there has been a lot of this going on by the left concerning the facts around the health care plan. I do not think any public servant should take part in deceptive practices merely to get a vote or see a bill passed. Some such tactics by the left have included outright lying to folks in town hall meetings. Whether or not they didn’t know the answer at this point is immaterial. When in doubt, ask. Say that you do not have the information but will be happy to look it up and get back to the person. Two votes were taken in regards to the four abortion amendments in Congress which should not have happened. If the first vote was kept and pressure was not put on folks to change their vote, then abortion would not have been a part of the plan. Pres. Barack tried to speed the 1100 page bill through Congress so a vote would be cast before the August session recess so Senators and Congresspersons would NOT have the chance to read it, nor would the American public have an opportunity to know for sure what specifics were in the bill. These manipulative tactics utilized just to secure a win are unbecoming of public servants. In addition, the public is not stupid. They know what politicians are up to and popularity ratings will be jeopardized. There needs to be a higher ethical standard in the public arena (i.e. stop lying).
