McCain's Running mate - Page 4

Trilby · 08-29-2008, 12:55 PM

What say you, Shawnee (fellow Ohio gal) on first, FIRST impression?

I say Ohioans won't like it. She looks like marshmallow fluff, I don't care HOW many mooseburgers she has eaten (for the record, I have eaten ONE mooseburger but I didn't know it until I'd eaten it and then those assholes laughed and laughed at my expression)

Anyway----I think it's dirty pool. He picked her coz Obama DIDN'T pick Hill.

McCain is not a Bush. But I have always said a president is only as good as the people that he surrounds himself with. He just doesn't have time to know all the issues. He needs a good group of advisors. This has to be one of Bush's biggest failures.

That's politics. He has stolen the show for the time being. Obama isn't being hardly mentioned at all in the news the day after his big day.

I agree with you re: woman pick. It is my hope that it won't work. I hope that most women will think "nice try, wrong woman."

She could be the best woman on earth, but it still won't make me vote for McCain.

I'm still considering a write-in vote.

Merc, with all due respect and imho...Bush and McCain are completely interchangeable.

naaa. That would be like saying all Demoncrats are alike and all Republickins are alike. I still may vote for Bob Barr as a protest vote.

I don't think it's the same as saying all demons and republicks are alike. I don't think they are. I just think McCain is an extension of Bush. I wait patiently for him to prove me wrong, but I have seen no evidence, so far.

I see very little in them that is alike. Maybe you could point out the things that make them so alike.

It'll be interesting to see how the biography on wiki changes as new information comes out. Can we tell how long has this been up and who the authors are? If she was really flying under the radar, you can bet the first things we read are what the handlers want us to see.

Foreign policy: thought the war would be a fairly easy venture; feels it is noble even though the bush administration's reasons for it (WMDs, for one) have been shown to be mostly unfounded.

Does not support gay and lesbian marriage rights.

Tax cuts which benefit the wealthy as economic stimulus.

Believes that making health care more affordable for everyone is "socializing" it.

That's a start.

He's a pro-lifer. that right there rankles me.

Tina Fey for President!

Shawnee123 · 08-29-2008, 01:24 PM

I'll get a big old campaign button that reads "I'm ghey for Fey!"

Trilby · 08-29-2008, 01:28 PM

Now, I would vote for Tina!!!!

Pretty much any republickin platform. Not unique to Bush or McCain.
