I am well aware of the two different political positions, numbnuts. People do indeed often vote solely for the top of the ticket. However, I am also aware that the most important decision a presidential nominee has to make prior to the election is who his running mate will be. It says a lot about the judgment of the candidate when he picks someone lacking the qualifications to be president on day one. Palin is NOT battle tested from 18 months of campaigning with over 20 televised debates. Two years ago she was a mayor of a town with 9,000 people. I've lived in a small town before...most mayors of towns that small work as mayor PART TIME. Some of the biggest issues are repairing traffic lights and passing little city ordinances.
bwahaha!
Obama ain't "battle-tested" either. Yet, the Dems stuck him on TOP of the tickets, crowing about how successful they were, the last time they did that back in '92. So, bleating about the need of experience now, in regards to their opponent's VP pick, makes them look utterly silly. But, if they want to go there, McCain will refute their chirps, at the RNC.
The bottom line is America was struck under GEORGE W. BUSH'S TENURE. You can spin it all you want, but that is FACT. Maybe if the Bush administration paid attention to the high level memo titled "Bin Laden Plans To Strike The U.S. Using Airplanes", the events would not have happened. And please don't lecture me on the tragedy of 9/11/01...I worked in Lower Manhattan during that time and walked by the posters of people holding out hope for someone to locate their missing loved ones on the way to work every day. It was a tragic time.
And, the guy responsible for that struck the WTC and the USS Cole UNDER BILL CLINTON'S TENURE. Maybe if Clinton had gone after Bin Laden then, instead of getting his freak on with every one BUT Hilary, Bin Laden would be behind bars or in his grave, thus no 9/11.
I haven't heard Obama or Biden "yapping about experience", jackass. I am most certainly questioning Palin's credentials, however, because she isn't battle tested and McCain barely knows her. I personally, think the pick was irresponsible and dangerous.
Ever heard of the terms, "spokesmen"? Those words about experience are coming from Obama spokesmen. Those, O bright one, are people that speak ON OBAMA'S BEHALF, meaning their words (for all practical purposes are HIS words).
I comprehend just fine, thank you. Don't blame me because I am more knowledgeable on this than you. It ain't "slapstick comedy" when a man gets the heaviest turnout in presidential primary history and garners over 18 MILLION votes, whereas Palin has received ZERO votes. Democrats have shown that they believe Obama is more than ready. Palin...not so much. She has a LOT to prove to show she can hang in a grueling campaign at the national level.
Then why is Obama consistently leading in the polls?

Kerry got the heaviest turnout in Democrat history at that point, back in 2004. He still lost. So much for primary turnout.
Obama has gone from leading decisively in all polls a few months ago, to barely leading, tied with, or trailing McCain. That was prior to the DNC. He got his bounce; but McCain will get his after the RNC. The end result will be a neck-and-neck race....AGAIN.
Despite this heavy turnout, Obama can't pull away from McCain. And, it's only going to get worse, if Palin gets the social conservatives to rally behind McCain.
Apparently, McCain has the experience but lacks the judgment by voting for Bush 95 PERCENT OF THE TIME.
And.....Obama towed his party line 97% of the time. And since the Dems took over Congress, their approval rating is much, MUCH WORSE than that of President Bush.
Indeed he will. And it will be a snooze fest compared to the brilliant and electrifying DNC.
To you, of course it will be. The liberals had their party; now, it's the conservatives' turn.
Hardly. She ain't ready for prime time, and will be exposed from the heat of this campaign. She also can't be an attack dog on Obama's experience, because she has LESS. This pick shows McCain's terrible judgment once again.
Nice attempt at humor...but I believe Obama will prevail. America is tired of tax cuts for the rich and tax breaks for the oil companies that gouge us at the pump. McBush is old and tired and Obama is going to bring the vision and CHANGE we need!!!
She can be an attack dog on his experience...when compared to that of John McCain. Again, they're the guys on the top of the tickets.
Old and tired is what Obama is, as his tax-and-spend, heartbeat-away-from-socialism policies virtually mirror those of Kerry back in '04. As I said earlier, left up to him and his liberal buddies, CHANGE is what we'll have left in our pockets, after hard-working Americans get taxed silly, upon Obama's not being able to pay for the checks that his mouth's been writing.
