GOP Festival 2008!
« on: August 29, 2008, 04:52:42 pm »

Quote from: today's AIM conversation
pedro_picasso: Sen. John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket for the White House, the campaign said Friday.
pedro_picasso: Just thought you might want to know.
jldunston: neat!  A lady!
jldunston: Probably not a coincidence. 
pedro_picasso: I know, right?  You're a lady.  She's a lady.  It's totally connected.
jldunston: Heh
pedro_picasso: ;)
jldunston: What are the odds, right?

Interesting choice, considering one of McCain's primary slams on Obama is his lack of experience.  So let's take a first-term governor from a sparsely populated state, whose prior gig was mayor of a town of 8,000, and put her a heartbeat from the presidency, behind a would-be president of advanced age.

Obama's lack of experience is addressed by McCain's experience. See how that works? Does McCain look dead to you? My theory is that he is intending to not run for re-election in 2012. That would allow for Sarah Palin to be a historical figure twice, and would drive the stake through Hilary's heart although I doubt that would even finish her off.

What I want to know is how is the 'candidate of change' picking an old white guy whose been in the Senate forever? Where's the change? All of the change is on the other side: a Senator well known to be a Maverick and a running mate well known for running on reform, fairness and anti-corruption (not to mention campaigning on the Environment AND drilling in ANWR at the same time). McCain has made a very out-of-the-box running mate choice that underscores and emphasizes that it is not going to be business as usual in Washington. The presence of Joe Biden doesn't inspire that on the other side.

McCain picked a well spoken, dynamic female running mate with more executive experience than either of the Democrats; a solid union member with a solid union member husband, both NRA members; obvious chops on education, motherhood, special needs, and having serious potential appeal to the women the Democrats left behind when they threw Hillary under the bus.

So, it should be an interesting 67 days.

How come no one yelled at Al Gore for comparing Obama to Lincoln? Is My American Cousin playing in Washington in the next few years?

I have neither the time nor energy nor desire to get into a point by point, but one bit I can't let slide.

a Senator well known to be a Maverick

HA.  Hasn't been appropriate for quite some time.  Voted with Bush policies 90% of the time, remember?  Define his mavericky-ness, other than just because that's what everyone calls him.

Well, I guess it's about time that people started getting jobs just because they DON'T have a c*ck, for a change.

I fully support this policy, especially as it relates to hookers and strippers.

Oh god, let's just not talk about politics. I have had enough. Now we know who's running, can't we just skip all the in between and have the damn election tomorrow?

My sentiments exactly.

I'm not going to change your mind and you aren't going to change mine.  What's the point?

How many truly undecided voters do you think are out there?

I mean it's all a letdown after finding out it wasn't Michael Palin anyways...

Now that would be a much harder ticket for me to vote against.

Quote from: newest political ad

My Vice-Presidential candidate is rubber, your Presidential candidate is glue.  Everything you say bounces off her and sticks to ... um your guy.

(S)He's inexperienced.
(S)He's from a weird part of the country.
(S)He's a celebrity.
(S)He's someone who generally tows the party line.

What we mean to say is that Barak Obama would probably also make a good Vice-Presidential candidate.  Now, let's get back to the adult's table, and do some business.

This message was brought to you by John McCain for President and the Allies Against Big Glue.
