Wow! Palin is great! I just became a McCain supporter!

I think he'll get a bump from this given the level excitement in the conservative camp.

Blah, I like Governor Palin okay but this isn't going to make me want to vote for him. He'll win anyway, Senator Obama has peaked.

Yuck.

Weird hair, screeching voice and she's a nut who can't keep her pill bottles straight. I would never vote for her on her own, but she'll probably be the key to getting McCain elected.

economy?
education?
healthcare?
afghanistan & iraq?
foreign policy?
military & security?
energy? (husband works for oil biz, she's pro-drilling and wants to tap answ)
corruption? (oops, she's embroiled in her own for abusing and misusing power)
rights? (she's anti-choice, anti-marriage rights)

Economy: cut spending, refuse pork.
Healthcare: supports consumer driven healthcare, supports flexibility in government regulations to allow competition (which drives down costs).
Afghanistan & Iraq: I'm guessing that she takes the situation quite seriously...
Foreign policy: since she has a son who will be heading in the direction of the Middle East
Military and Security: said son being in the military.
Energy: oil, natural gas... she's for it?
corruption: Show me a Republican who is being investigated and I'll most likely wait to see what the outcome is.
Rights? I think you mean antigay marriage rights. And pro "least of these".

I'm not seeing a problem here.

Great post. I was taken aback by the selection, considering that she doesn't have the traditional Ivy League or West Point background, but then almost a quarter of American presidents didn't even go to college, and that didn't stop them from leaving powerful legacies (Lincoln is only the most famous of these presidents).

Governor Palin did go to college of course and made a success of her life and her tenure in the governor's house in Alaska. Any doubts I had about her, though, vanished when I saw her speak. She is clearly articulate, strong and at the same time very sophisticated. This is not a rustic from the backwoods as many pundits would have you believe. She is truly fit for the office and in four or eight years she will have all the experience she needs to ascend to the presidency.

Wow, for the first time in several years, I am PROUD TO BE A REPUBLICAN!

This changed your mind? It's just bizarre to me that someone could be lukewarm about McCain, but the choice of a pro-life candidate with no serious experience suddenly changes the entire equation. Why? Are you expecting Palin to become the Abortion Czar? That she's going to oversee his nominations to the court? Is it that you've been so ignored so long by your own party that any attention gets you going?

What an awful pick. She has little to no experience. She is governor of a state that has fewer people than live in most large cities in the United States. The ONLY reason McCain picked her is because he thinks a woman well vote for a woman because they are a woman - what bullshit. She is opposite of what Hilary stands for. Would you really want this woman becoming president if something happened to McCain. She would be the laughing stock of the US and the world. Are we that stupid that we would actually vote for this ticket. Believe me if we elect McCain/Palin he'll be like Herbert Hoover. One term and out and by that time we'll be in a depression. Is that what you want??? If so vote for McCain. You'll be shooting yourself in the foot and all the way up your damn leg.

I was a Hilary fan, and now I am voting for McCain. Good Choice McCain!

is this about bristol lynn spears or bristol palin. i can't figure it out.

where was her mother's guidance??? didn't she know what was going on in her own home??? was she too caught up in herself and her career that she let her daughter get knocked up???

what's happened to conservative christian values.. AT HOME?

Tell me how you were supporting hilary then this pathetic VP. Just to tell you Palin is representing everything Hilary was against just because she has a vagina and she is running a family like you (and probably worse than you). She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. She is not a maverick and it makes me sick(and hilary) when you go to McCain for spite. This is going to be one of the worst administrations ever if it can get worse than the last 8 years than America will be too far from saving and this will be the end of democracy if they win in November

Why not, let it be a fanatic state so we all can be true holy warriors.. We can elect 8 more years of this beautiful thing we already had based solely on their views of God. We can keep going backwards erasing all man's progress and say that knowledge is evil. It will be a great thing going backwards.. right?

We can teach war even though Jesus taught peace. We can teach hate even though Jesus taught love. I mean Bush and all the other past president's supported opposite views that Jesus had. You people support these war mongers that do not even hold to the message that Christ really wanted to get across to his believers. I mean where in the bible does it preach that wealth is the essence of life. The only thing I can see republicans supporting is pretty much support huge corporations, make the rich richer, encourage investing, not providing for social needs of others, decreasing regulation in business, starting wars, drilling for oil (mostly so they can make money for their buddies in the oil business). I mean does it take a rocket scientist to figure out daddy Bush and baby Bush were pretty much supporting the oil companies. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that the republicans have pretty much outright supported the greedy in this country. Oh! wait.. I forgot that is Christian right? Greed.. I mean I can't really figure out where that is in the bible.. Maybe the old testament might have references..

Lets see, we have these republicans sitting there preaching they are the compassionate party with Christian values but could give a hoot less. They don't care about Christian values they care about filling their pockets with more cash and helping their rich buddies out. Let's see, we have Nixon (oh yeah he was great), Reagan (oh yeah Iran-Contra. on and on under handed crap), Bush (Savings and loan scandal.. on and on.. His son Neil Bush was DIRECTLY INVOLVED!!), Bush (Enron deregulation, policy changes, Lies of Iraq war, mortgage frauds on large scale, 9/11 failures to take preventive actions.. liberties attacked.).. Even McCain was part of the Keating five that was considered corrupt during the S&L investigation.. He is liar just like most of the politicians up there in Washington.. I don't care how intelligent people may sound or how clever they may wiggle their way out of lie.. These people are just plain and outright liars.. The only reason McCain created this whole image of being against the whole money machine in Washington was to put a view into peoples head that he is honest McCain against the money of corporate donors.. Right, he is a thief no matter what type of meaningless loop holed legislation he writes..

I mean what exactly do you see in the republicans.. I mean where do they support the little guy.. Oh wait.. they support taking money out of our pockets.. They support taking advantages provided to us for bankruptcy protection, they support large corporations, they support sending our jobs away (giving tax incentives for it).. Oh, and please don't tell me it is because of our horrible educational system because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work in a call center (SCRIPT READERS!!!)..
