It's Official...IT'S PALIN

[SeeVee]

You mean, the right of women to control their bodies? That's how I see it, and the majority of Americans see it.

Maybe YOU don't trust yourself to do the right thing. I don't need the government to dictate my behavoir or moral choices. But I darned sure want to hear the truth from my doctor if a pregnancy might kill me, or make me go blind, or cause other debilitating diseases.

MY BODY, MY CHOICE.


Just ask those orphans in Latin America whose moms have bled to death because of miscarriages that hospitals will no longer treat for fear of running afoul of the new draconian anti-abortion laws how they feel.

Its killing babies. You can try to frame anyway you want, but it is killing babies.


There are other methods of birth control, even for the poor Latin American women you are so fond of, than abortion.

Would there have even been a tenth of this amount of comments had the pick been Romney?

The lefties are apoplectic over this. Great theater indeed!

Apoplectic? Do you know what that even means? We're rolling on the floor with laughter!

I think this pick makes McCain and the RNC's griping about Obama's experience look like a bunch of idiots who can't come up with decent arguments. That's all they had!

I just read her biography. I have to admit the fact that she returned to the office 3 days after giving birth to her last child is a bit shocking.

I saw nothing to back up the assertion she doesn't believe in evolution. Anyone have a link that isn't OBVIOUSLY biased? As in, don't pass me Faux News or Huffington Post, please.

Umm no, the president can suggest legislation it doesn't have to be introduced that is congresses job they can also introduce stuff he is completely against. And he can veto a passed bill, which can be overturned, so your statement above is not

Scary isn't it? I don't care who you support but have some idea how things work.

Sarah has run a town of 5,000 and the State of Alaska for 1.5 years. Her Republican legislature recently agreed to pay $100,000 to launch an investigation into her firing of a Commissioner because he wouldn't fire her former brother-in-law. That's hardly executive experience.

It makes her highly qualified for a Republican Administration.

Or they could deal with Obama "Gee I don't know what to do, it's over my pay grade".
At least Palin is a hunter, she knows that when you get the enemy in your sights you take the shot. Obama, well, he just wouldn't know what to do. He would probably try to tell the terrorists that what we need is change.

First of all we're talking about the VP, not the Commander in Chief. BUT, I would want a commander in chief who is decisive, who knows what needs to be done, and does the job. I believe that if Palin should ever have to take over the job of Commander in chief, that she would at least have an idea of what to do (and yes, I think that hunting is a good experience in helping you make a decision).
Whereas on the other hand, the Dems want a man who can't even ANSWER a simple question without hiding behind a ridiculous line like "it's above my paygrade"
Maybe Palin should take Obama out hunting, it couldn't hurt, it might even help him learn to make a real decision or two. Who knows.

The VP isn't the one who decides when to shoot when the enemy is in sight. That's the President.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but may I ask you a question?

Will you be voting for her because she has a Downs syndrome child? That is how you make it sound.

BTW, I had my last child when I was 34. The doctor suggested testing for Downs syndrome and I said no. My baby is my baby no matter what.
Guess what? I'm an independant and voting for Barack. I still believe that if women want an abortion(even though I know I could not do it), they should be allowed legally to have it done.

I don't think the McCain/Palin ticket will be good for us. But, that is just my opinion in this big sea of the DISBOARDS.

Now the real fun begins...see you all at the polling stations come November.

How petty! I can write pages on why I will vote the way I do. Everyone has a platform that is close to their heart and identify with. I have a business that works with disabled persons. I just happen to have a soft spot for Down's babies. I know the everyday struggles that people with disabilities face. She will be a champion on that issue. I am pro-life all the way. I don't believe in abortion or the death penalty.

Au contraire, mon fraire.


BO can not even think about uttering the word experience.

 

[alldiz]

Ok...just found out....

Interesting Election indeed.....

History is made either way.....things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm.
Kerri

 

[Carly_Roach]

Its killin' you, too, huh?

But of course, BO is not being used.

Actually, no. It's not killing me. When I first read the CNN headline, my first thought was, "Who the hell is Palin?"

My second thought was a relief-filled, "Obama's the next President of the United States. Thank God it's over."

 

[huckster]

Mc Cain is older , he dies ... is she really ready to run the country ..
i think NOT

 

[jodifla]

Birth control that will all become illegal under a McCain-Palin Woman Hatin' Presidency, because they are considered "abortifacients."

And hospitals in Latin America are refusing to treat women WHO ARE MISCARRYING!

DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD!

I'll ask you again since you keep repeating it. When and where has McCain said that Obama lacks the experience to even be vice president?

It's terminating a pregnancy. I'm not interested in holding women's uteruses hostage as punishment.

 

[TheGoofster]

But nobody else has as much say (or influence) as to which bills get passed, introduced, etc...
I know that he can't pass them alone, but he has more influence than any other individual in this country. If that weren't the case than why would anyone care about Bush's or Clinton's, etc... stance on abortion? My point being, that whoever is President is going to have to know where they stand on abortion, and not just say "it's above my pay grade"

 

[zurgswife]

OK...her speech was very very boring......didn't catch my attention at all.

 

[TKERBELL]

She's no more a hero than I am. I'll be refusing testing as well. If my kid has Down syndrome, so be it.

Down Syndrome testing is NOT about options of keeping or aborting - it is about education and preparedness - as are most of the tests done during pregnancy

I am pro-life - however - I believe that in the cases of RAPE or INCEST then it SHOULD be an option - other than that God's will and all (I am a woman who suffered multiple miscarriages at varying stages - all for unknown reasons)

I do not normally include myself on these types of threads ( I do however, LOVE LOVE LOVE to read them) - debates - politics, religion - I am thrilled with McCain's choice - I have enjoyed reading about her and finding out about how she got here!!

 

[Laura]

I'll ask you again since you keep repeating it. When and where has McCain said that Obama lacks the experience to even be vice president?

We all know a VP can be POTUS in a matter of minutes, and why would McCain ever postulate on Obama's fitness for a position he's not running for? You make no sense.

McCain doesn't think Obama is qualified to be POTUS, so what makes him think Palin is qualified as VP?

But I'll go on laughing and you can go on thinking I'm having a stroke.

 

[TLSnell1981]

You are correct. That's why it amazes me how the American people blame everything on the President.

 

[agentpleakley]

So as an ardent Hillary supporter. Someone you truly believed in. You will go 100% against her wishes? Makes sense.

I'm amazed at the OS who continue to heavy hand the HS into voting for BO.

Spelling or proof-reading aside, my ideas and thoughts are still sound.

She's a token. She's Alaska's way of saying, "Look! We finally got a woman in office and ain't she pretty!" Or, as I'm learning more and more about Palin, "Look! This woman helped us with our big oil deal. Let's reward her by making her Governor for two years and then we'll reward her with a VP nomination pick which will get voted down during our convention so we can say, 'Gosh darn it, we tried'."

Both are insulting to me as I'm an intelligent woman who recognizes the tactics being used as tactics that have been used for years in Corporate America. She's a token woman who fits the "pretty" mold but will have absolutely no responsibility or legislative rights whatsoever. She's only there to secure the disgruntled Hillary voters who want a woman in the White House no matter what.

Your entire post debatable - not conclusive at all - or proven by concrete fact. Also, a bit of advice, your use of the term "token" is beyond insulting to many Americans of all sexes, races, religions etc.
