I agree. I think he is out of touch. I also believe Obama is out of touch. I prefer McCain's decision to not pretend he's a middle class guy who knows what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck, worrying about the price at the pump. He's rich, admits he's rich but knows not everyone is and he knows they are the people who vote.

are you saying we should burn that witch at the stake?!?:eek: ;)

Throw her in the pond and see iffin' she floats? ;)

Hey, you're not holding her down the right way, Bill! :D

Don't try to hump her leg with the Secret Service watching.;)

I'm with lookout. My first reaction when I saw this was, "Well duh." She seems like such an obvious choice to me. If Hillary had won the Democratic nomination, you can bet your ass McCain would have picked a Black man or a Hispanic man. (And he definitely would not have picked a woman in that case, for the same reason that he could never pick a black man now that he's running against Obama--because it would be like offering that community a consolation prize; it would be seen as hugely offensive.)

Palin bothers me on a gut level - body language, expressions, that sort of thing. I'll dig into the issues now that there is a running mate and try to not let my twitching antennae rule my vote, (but they are good antennae...) No matter who I like I should vote for the other candidate because I have never voted for anyone who won. So although I can't tell you will win, I can be pretty sure who will lose.

That's the point. The houses are actually owned by his wife. They are her investments. I don't think he knows because he could really care less.

All yours Shawnee, when it makes you wealthy enough to have 7 homes, just remember I want a motor home! :)

I predicted that McCain would chose Palin. His choice was clear after Obama's speech. Any other VP pick and that pick would be eaten alive by the energized Democratic machine. All the Democracts would say about Palin is that she's 'inexperienced'. As a rabid fan of Obama, I know that a successful mother of five can gain and draw as much experience to do anything as the most seasoned diplomat. Just because she isn't paid for motherhood, it doesn't mean her experience being a mother doesn't count. After all, she also have to 'mother' the dysfunctional government of Alaska, the sneaky oil companies, and the now-disowned Ted Stevens.

Yes, deadbeater, but she's also pro-life. That probably won't win a lot of Hilary supporters over. And, truly, do you think being a mother prepares you to deal with foreign policy? come on.

Only if you assume people were supporting Hillary because of her political stance. There are a significant number, though no one can really know how many, who were supporting her because she is a woman.

McCain's running mate won't be any help to him at all, unless it's to help him get his depends undergarments on. She's got no real experience, she's under investigation for corruption, she faked a pregnancy recently to hide the fact that her teenage daughter was pregnant, and she actually doesn't believe in evolution. Anyone over the age of 6 who doesn't believe in evolution is either retarded or insane.


McCain is under the false impression that merely having a white woman will help him snatch up all those Hillary voters. He's wrong. The Democratic party has united behind Obama. His speech the other day was one of the best I've ever heard. It was on a par with MLK's "I have a dream" speech, JFK's "Ask not what your country can do for you..." speech, and Roosevelt's "Day that will live in infamy" speech.

McCain couldn't have chosen a better candidate to guarantee Obama will win.

I must admit though, they do look good together.

Her daughter gave birth to a son with down syndrome. She pretended she was pregnant to hide the fact that such a holy roller actually had a pregnant teenage daughter.

Lincoln was a republican mass murderer....just like George W. Bush and his clone John McCain.
