it's obvious Mccain didn't properly vet Palin. 30 minute phone call, and 1 brief handshake in February. The only investigation was into that trooper firing matter.

I hope he'll do his research on things like the economy and war, and not just make snap decisions on the fly.

VP selection was big, and he had plenty of time to think it through. Will he choose the IMPULSIVE button when he's making giant decisions regarding the country.

Hahaha. It's Mac's typical solution... use a woman to solve his own shortcomings.

he'll probably try to marry Angela Merkel when he becomes president.

Probably about 20 or so the last few days (without exaggeration). Clearly protesting too much.

sure, i'll happily add links. Usually it degrades into a debate of "well, of course MSNBC will claim it's not her baby, that's what the lib media does".

That kind of talk is ignorant, but it derails threads.

also, learn to read... I just said "please apply comments to his point with your criticisms" I don't care what you call or accuse 240 of. Just make sure to address what he said or stfu. Now I've nailed 240 on the same thing in the past. fair is fair. Don't come in derailing threads. Say what you want but have something to address the purpose of the thread.

next time i see it, i'll paste it here, Tommy boy.

He only sent a team of lawyers up last week to check out troopergate and they determined it wasn't a problem. Most on his inside team had no clue she was even in real contention.

Oh please, by all means show where I've done such without addressing the point. Back in the day it was done by everyone all the time and I've worked toward ending that practice. So if I've done it, I am wrong to have done it. Please, point out such an occation at anytime in the last few months if I do it all the time as you say. Point it out now... can you find one in the first 5 pages?

Yes, I have no link either, but read that also.

Hugo Chavez · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2008, 04:49:10 PM »

as of August 15, she wasn't vetted, only asked for a few position papers and speeches.

it's obvious Mccain didn't properly vet Palin. 30 minute phone call, and 1 brief handshake in February. The only investigation was into that trooper firing matter.

Hugo Chavez · « **Reply #20 on:** August 31, 2008, 04:53:00 PM »

I know where I saw this now... It was on a CNN youtube clip.

Hugo Chavez · « **Reply #21 on:** August 31, 2008, 04:55:46 PM »

Here's some comments on the lack of vetting on Hardball, I'll see if I can find the cnn clip.

240 is Back · « **Reply #22 on:** August 31, 2008, 04:58:30 PM »

It has a second video, from Think Progress which has McCain Campaign spokesperson Nancy Pfotenhauer on Fox News, being asked by host Bill Hemmer how well McCain knew Palin. Her response?

You're running flat into the wall of my ignorance here, Bill. I truly
have no indication whatsoever the extent of a relationship that exists
with the Governor of Alaska.

I looked at all three links. None of them establish:

"it's obvious Mccain didn't properly vet Palin. 30 minute phone call, and 1 brief handshake in February. The only investigation was into that trooper firing matter."
