McCain picks Alaska Gov. Palin as running mate - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/palin.republican.vp.candidate/index.html)
Well there's a transparent political move if I ever saw one. McCain is trying to attract Hillary Clinton's supporters, and not the Republican base. Oooh, I bet a few people here will be pretty pissed. This lack of enthusiasm among Republicans will only get worse now.

John McCain chose Sarah Palin Republican Gov. of Alaska as his running mate.
Anyone know her position on Medical Cannabis?

that may be a bit optimistic, she is a Christian mother of five, and the Republican's 'fast-rising star' ... I would suspect she's every bit as anti-pot as McCain, etc... :(

According to Wikipedia, Ms. Palin smoked marijuana, when it was legal in her state, but didn't like it.

I found a reference saying that she tried cannabis when it was legal in Alaska.
Seems as though she was some kind of outdoor guide or ran some kind of sporting goods outdoor equipment store?
Heck ya never know maybe she is one stoney chick????

from wiki:
Details of Palin's personal life have contributed to her political image. She hunts, eats moose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose) hamburger, ice fishes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_fishing), rides snowmobiles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowmobile), and owns a float plane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_plane).[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin#cite_note-Barnes-11)[55] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin#cite_note-Arnold-54) Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rifle_Association). She admits that she used marijuana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana) when it was legal in Alaska, but says that she did not like it.[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin#cite_note-Hopkins-8)
I think I might want to get to know some more about this chick. Still not enough to make me want to vote for McCain though.

listening now to her speech on the radio ... radio hosts 'Armstrong and Getty' just mentioned she has an '80% approval rating' in Alaska ... they also commented that "no matter which way the election goes, we're gonna have either a female VP, or a black president, history made" ... :smokin:

Regardless of her "cannabis position" she seems like one bad ass chick!
If she did indeed try cannabis, and just didn't like it so what? I would think that it would have been news here if a newly elected governor of AK had an agenda against cannabis. So maybe, maybe, she is tolerant, and respectful of peoples choice to use it FOR ANY REASON THEY WANT BE IT MEDICAL OR OTHERWISE!
It is a big red flag though, for cannabis anyway, to be a "fast rising star in the GOP". That gives me some caution. However, if she is really really conservative, (as opposed to just being a "republican"),then I would bet even if she personally does not use or like it, that she would not be supportive of legislating against it. We will soon see though! All in all seems to be an excellent choice. Hell not knowing much more about her than what has been posted, I am half inclined to have her as president over McCain!:D

She's one sexy 44 year old.
And who cares if she's pro-weed (which she's not). McCain is anti-marijuana. Plain and simple.
The Republican party has offically become desperate. What better way to offset McCain's negative attributes then selecting a VP who seems completely opposite of him in a number of ways. It seems the Republican party can't rely on the old "experience issue" anymore. Just imagine if McCain died in office. Sarah Palin...President? Yikes..
She's still hot though.

It seems rather odd that McCain would pick someone from Alaska with all the corruption charges swirling around there senators and who knows who else. Doesn't seem like a smart choice but then the repubs don't really have many good choices for VP.

Seems pretty transparent to me. lets just say I added another reason to be disappointed at what my voter registration card says! and Im even more thoroughly convinced that the two party system is a sham and not healthy for America!

Is Palin running for President? No, McCain is and HE DOES have the experience needed for THAT position. As for Obama, when the phone rings at 3:00A.M. is Biden going to answer it? I sure hope so with Obama's "so called" experience for his stint in the state legislature and his limited time in Senate.
LMAO!!! Bill Clinton was saying at the convention that he to was accused of not having the experience just because he was only the Governor of Arkansas; now here we are only two days later with the Obama camp stating that being the Governor of Alaska doesn't have the experience to be a heart beat away? You just know that Bill and Hillary are laughing their asses off at Obama right now.

08-29-2008, 06:36 PM
It seems like Sarah Palin completely negates the experience argument against Obama, which is really the only argument that was getting any traction against him. If the experience issue was really that important to the McCain campaign, then why did they get someone with such thin experience? A year and a half as governor, not even one full 2-year term yet? And mayor of a small town before that?
That's surprising. The Obama campaign must be pleased about that.
And this is not going to pull the Hillary voters in. Hillary supporters were not just voting for a vagina. Hell, we've had a pair of boobs in the White House for 8 years, and you can be sure the Hillary voters were not supporting them. It's not about anatomy. They supported Hillary on issues, and Palin could not be farther away from Hillary on issues. They supported Hillary because she was qualified and was a woman who got so close to being nominated in a hard fought campaign, a woman who earned consideration. She wasn't lifted out of nowhere and offered up as a token female to draw in female voters. Certainly Palin is no where near as qualified to be president as Hillary was. It may well be insulting to Hillary voters if that is what this play is about.
The one thing she does bring is appeal to conservatives. I was hoping McCain would not have to pander to the evangelicals and pro-life social conservatives. That is the part of the Republican party that I cannot stand. But she might appeal to tha faction.
She is such an unknown that we'll have to spend some time finding out who she is and what her qualifications are. Has she ever been out of the country? Does she have any economic experience? Any national security experience?
McCain is 72 today, has a history of cancer, and he has a real chance of dying in office. This should have been a more serious choice.
It's far too early to say, but I think Sarah Palin may have been a bad choice.

Obama has an equal if not bigger chance of being knocked off/dying in office! And who does he pick? Biden!?

And if you think Hiilarys supporters are going to vote for McCain and Palin because she's a woman your wrong they where voting for clinton because she has the experiance to lead.Im a tell you this If Hillary had won the primary and Im a strong supporter of Obama I would still cast my vote for Hillary.

I'm not sure if you heard but, Palin isn't running for president. The VP spot historically has not required the same strenuous demand as president. Matter of fact for a short time in our history Several presidents ran and were elected to Office without a VP running mate.
So comparing a VP pick to a presidential candidate is a bit silly. If you want to do that then let's look at Biden. He has a WORLD of experience. In all honestly he's more qualified to be president than Obama is. Doesn't that look bad in itself when your VP is a better candidate than you are?

I agree with you but Dick made great strides to gain power for the office of the VP. So, there is a fair amount of power for Palin. also, I believe there is a more serious risk of McCain dying than in past presidential elections where I would look more seriously at the VP because they have a real chance of becoming the pres.

I'd rather take the chance on that then leave my children in the hands of a person with ties to racists and terrorists. Obama was a piss poor choice by the DNC.
As for the women voters, the same way that you saw the black vote go to Obama in the range of 90% + you'll see the same with this choice. When mothers start to shake her hand and find out a bit of her past they'll relate and then vote. Soccer mother of 5 that's intelligent, strong will, and has a disabled child; just pulling at the heart strings of moms everywhere. 18,000,000 voters may have cracked the glass ceiling but she busted through...LOL.:thumbsup:

I am 26 and I guess im right on the limit of being a "Young Voter". Those who have said Hillary Clinton Supporters wont change just because of her, well I disagree. I dont know if I mentioned this in another thread but I was getting my mail today and had a great discussion with my neighbor, she is a democrat and was a staunch hillary supporter and felt screwed by her party and wasent exactly a huge fan of Obama Not to mention her Husband is a Marine and Vietnam vet, Mccains pick today was the nail in the coffin for her personally and she is going with Mccain along with her husband. I got so tired of looking at her Hillary Signs in the window and her yard so It will be nice with our Matching Mccain/Palin signs. :thumbsup:

I always like these debates about experience needed to be president.
The truth is we haven't had anyone with experience of anything but government payroll checks at all. Just because you've been employed by the government most of your life doesn't make you experienced to wash dishes much less be president.
More than anything it boils down to ethics. Who has the moral integrity to run a country and move it forward. Certainly Obama would probably be little more favoured in that area but not by much.
We need to quit electing career politicians. But its hard to find anyone with the guts to run.

New Blood, New Ideas, Republican, Democrat, I don't care...Oh how i miss Ron Paul.
As far as Palin being an ENVIRONMENTALIST...HA!
You cannot fathom the environmental degradation that building this infamous natural gas pipeline has caused. Imagine a Construction site larger than any you have ever seen...right through the heart of the last of North America's pristine wilderness. For fuel amounts equaling a drop in the bucket...Stop gap measures, designed to keep the wealthiest pockets full, and the resources CENTRALIZED. Being a fisherwoman DOES NOT make one an environmentalist.

"Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) or deities, whose existence is presupposed.[1] In relation to the creation-evolution controversy the term creationism (or strict creationism) is commonly used to refer to religiously-motivated rejection of evolution."

Its strategically sound as she will gather support from disgruntled Hillary supporters. Real conservatives that would stay at home might regain some enthusiasm, looking past McCain's liberal tendencies and recognising her conservative values. Palin is really bright, the only pro gun candidate of the four.
Experience, she was a town mayor and governor of Alaska. Experience in politics inevitably means corruption. To me she appears less tainted than the three slimy ones who shall not be named ;) an outsider of sorts.
Plus she's hot! a real milf you might say.
The only negative is Palin's and McCain's anti-abortion stance might drive some of the feminists they're targeting away.
The prospect of the first black man for the Democratic nomination will mean a record turnout of the great unwashed horde, otherwise known as liberals :D the likes of which never seen before. It will take some undoing.

Palin, most likely, will not get the Hillary vote! The two could not be more different!
Women voting for Palin because she is female is like: Well, blacks voting for nObama because he is black!! Unfortunately, we saw this happening quite some time ago! To choose any candidate because of race or sex or because 'she is hot' , just sucks!! And shows the ignorance of the voter!
She is there to get the 'Bible State" votes. When compared to the others, she has all the 'Bush Values'!! More than any other Republican man! She is a walking talking example of one!
If we explore Alaska, what a mistake! We already need to replace the 'Alaskan Pipeline'! It is a daily repair job now! Getting enough oil from Alaska is harder than making peace in the world? Will not cure the problem. May put more Alaskans to work though. She is for getting Alaskan oil and doesn't believe in global warming. (been freezing in Alaska too long).
Bush had Montana, until he started drilling for oil there and taking farmers land! Or was anyone paying attention! That is how, Montana became a Democratic state! The best Bush supporter's (and richest MT rancher) revolted against their farmland becoming oil rig land. So they turned Democrat and campaigned as hard against Bush's second term as they did for him previously! And the price of oil, still soars!
When it comes right down to it: If we took the religion out of politics, we might stand a chance, as a country and nation of unity! PR :rastasmoke:

McCain picks Alaska Gov. Palin as running mate - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/palin.republican.vp.candidate/index.html)
Well there's a transparent political move if I ever saw one. McCain is trying to attract Hillary Clinton's supporters, and not the Republican base. Oooh, I bet a few people here will be pretty pissed. This lack of enthusiasm among Republicans will only get worse now.
Boy you really have your fingers on the pulse of politics huh? Lot's of angry people huh? Drrr. drrr, drrr,drr.
I for one was not real enthused at all over voting for McCain, but like many others, this decision has really fired me up! But yeah, maybe in some far away corners, there are some angry Republicans, right!:thumbsup::stupid::yeahright:
Yeah but is she tainted with corruption like her good buddy senator?
They aren't exactly "good buddies" but keep reaching. You are going to have to be doing even more of that than what you are used to!:thumbsup:
IF you go to this website called, "GOOGLE.COM," they have this bar at the top, and if you type in something like, "Sarah Palin, Corruption, Alaska, ect...," you will get about a couple of indicators of just how "good buddies" they are. But maybe you know something no one else in the world does about her.
Fact is, she sounds like she is more of a "conservative" than McCain. The more I find out about her the more I think I would rather vote for her over McCain.:)
ldg420
08-30-2008, 05:09 AM
Ok I can't bite my tongue anymore, I've gotta chime in. First off she is an excellent pick for the McCain campaign. She may only have served as Alaska's Governor for about a year and a half but when you actually compare time spent in office to positive accomplishments, everyone should be amazed. She ousted an incumbent, a leader in ethics reform, reduced the size of AK government, I could go on and on. I personally can't wait for the debates, I think it will be interesting to see America's reaction to Biden vs Palin.
Second, for those of you grouping republicans and libertarians with christianity, I think this is an utter misconception, religion has no place in government.
Third, I believe that McCain had the election locked before Palin, with her on the ticket now I will predict a landslide victory in November.:stoned:
At the end of the day it all comes down to who you want in office, Obama a junior senator who speaks of change and then selects Biden an extreme liberal who is part of the so called "broken Washington" that Obama wants to change, or McCain an experienced senator who has always put his beliefs and our country first regardless of criticism even from members of his own political party who selected Palin a washington outsider who can bring the right kind of change?:stoned:

Like I said, she actually sounds like a "REAL CONSERVATIVE" as opposed to a "REPUBLICAN LACKY". Many of Paul's ideas are actually "conservative ideals".

She has more hands on experience than Obama as Governor of Alaska.
I think she needs to get some "hands on experience" with the 818KUSH, if ya know what I mean! And I know just the guy!:D
Ok I can't bite my tongue anymore, I've gotta chime in. First off she is an excellent pick for the McCain campaign. She may only have served as Alaska's Governor for about a year and a half but when you actually compare time spent in office to positive accomplishments, everyone should be amazed. She ousted an incumbent, a leader in ethics reform, reduced the size of AK government, I could go on and on. I personally can't wait for the debates, I think it will be interesting to see America's reaction to Biden vs Palin.
Second, for those of you grouping republicans and libertarians with christianity, I think this is an utter misconception, religion has no place in government.
Third, I believe that McCain had the election locked before Palin, with her on the ticket now I will predict a landslide victory in November.:stoned:
At the end of the day it all comes down to who you want in office, Obama a junior senator who speaks of change and then selects Biden an extreme liberal who is part of the so called "broken Washington" that Obama wants to change, or McCain an experienced senator who has always put his beliefs and our country first regardless of criticism even from members of his own political party who selected Palin a washington outsider who can bring the right kind of change?:stoned:
This election just got intresting! Not that it's ever been any kind of mystery as to whom will win, but now it'll be worth watching even knowing that. Just for the fact that I get to drool over Sarah! Saaaaaaarah, Saaaaaaaarah!:s2::kisslove::lovestruck::lovestruck ::lovestruck::4::4:

Oh how i miss Ron Paul..
Anytime I hear someone talk about how much they like Ron Paul, and then the same person is supporting Obama! I just laugh and laugh! Obvious indicator that someone really has no grasp on politics AT ALL! How could you support both of these men, you could not find 2 men with more extreme political positions! Holy fuck! KOOL AID ANYONE.
As far as Palin being an ENVIRONMENTALIST...HA!
You cannot fathom the environmental degradation that building this infamous natural gas pipeline has caused. .
You know what, you are absolutely right, I can't fathom it. So why don't you spell it out for all of us. What harm specifically has come from this? What disasters has this caused? And why is it that most people in Alaska OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT IT despite the fact that it is "devastating the environment" apparently, even though the people that live their are probably more closely tied to that natural outdoor wilderness than any other people anywhere in the U.S.?

Both tickets seem fairly equal to me! Equally dumb! With good intentions!
Bill Clinton was Gov. of Ark and not re-elected. He then re-ran with a different platform for and of the people and won, over and over!!
Bush was Gov. of Tx then Pres.: Lost his butt in oil and didn't do very well in baseball or anything else he did. Well, until he got sober, I guess!
Reagan; Gov. of Ca a couple times and then Pres.
Makes them good politicians, that is all!

Yup, the pipeline is a hinderance to wildlife. There are fences and other obstacles that seperate the young from their parents. Hung in fence's, etc. Just off the top of my head. Nat'l Geog. did an article on it many years ago!
The entire pipeline is not above ground, high enough for a bear to walk on. Most likely they are walking on the heated parts that had to be re-done, when the oil wouldn't move through the icelands! That whole pipeline needs replaced!

Lets not forget Exxon Valdiz, just got off the hook, with little more than a slap on the hand (oops, fingertip) this past year! How did that slip by her? That was such a disgrace. Look at the dead wildlife from that oil! I can't show a pix, surely you will 81K!
That pipeline could pop open. Read up on it. It was built for a temporary fix and it has outlasted its' initial proposed lifetime by more than a decade or so! She has to get out of AK before it is fucked up with all that oil!
She needed to get a new pipeline going, ASAP! I question anyone that would be Gov. of that state and not address getting a new pipeline!
The MT farmers are really pissed with what they are doing in MT for oil! I just don't know how that has not been used as a major example. Except, it is not a well populated State!

Kool Aid?? I am confused as to what derogatory insult you are wielding now. I doubt that anyone ever handed you that cup of electric kool aid. You might have then realized that in fact you may not be correct about everything.
I am going to do something now which more than a few people on this thread struggle with. Answer the ideas brought up opposing my position. Instead of your good ole boy "yeah you are so right...thanks pal...way to get those limp kool aid...blah blah.
So how can i support two different candidates for president? Easy. What i want to see is things shaken up more than ever before. I want my country to do a complete 180 on many long standing policies and laws. I want the US to embrace more pacifistic ideals. Ron Paul offered this. I believe in his politics. Unfortunately he cannot win this election. SO.... i am supporting the candidate i think will change the policies in our government. Barack does not have 30 years of experience like McCaine does. That is comforting to me. I am a realist and i know one president can only do so much. I am just hoping the ball gets turned and pointed in another direction.
THERE IS ONE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND I. Deep down in my heart I don't give a shit who becomes president. I am not blinded by a party. If John McCaine became president I would watch closely as always and encourage and support a move in the directions i want to see this country move. If he were to act on some of his original beliefs i would be pleased. The problem with what i have seen is that he has adopted others policies since recieving the nomination. Time to pay the piper. The dirrence being you will bash Obama no matter what he would accomplish. Stubborn good ole boy...
As far as pipelines
Have you ever been to Yosemite? How about Moab? Many people including myself consider these places ruined. Roads turn wilderness into non wilderness. Is this not environmental degradation?
If you can stand to read someone that does not encourage you to believe what you already believe, check out Edward Abbey. Desert Solitaire is a good place to start. I dare you... but also caution you, its not all quantifiable. Which means it may not compute. Kool Aid helps with this.

You accuse me of questioning someones religious beliefs. Try again. Never. I did not realize that the belief that Gorillas evolution coming to a halt is a religious belief. Are you serious? Gorillas are evolving. This is fact. Sometimes too slowly apparently.
I was Kayaking in Prince William sound long after Exxon Valdez had released their official documents stating the spill was cleaned up completely. YEARS LATER. All one had to do was flip over two rocks, and under one was guaranteed to be oil. This was for miles. Its too bad nobody gave a shit... Go Team USA!!
Kush this is very poor logic. Because animals are currently being killed by human development it does not matter if things we do cause more to die. Not your most Brilliant:thumbsup:

the name game: Osama Nobama; Biden-Liedumb!
McLain; stalin fallum!
Exxon Valdiz: It is still bad there: It has only been mos. that they got off with a slap on the wrist! I'd like to hear how she let that happen! She was Gov. and seems to not have cared about one of the best spots in Alaska for trade if for no other reason! I still see all those dead birds, Kush, please post a pix for me, I know you have a heart! I am dumb with Pc (you'll say a lot of things I am sure) but I am trying to understand the logice, etc. And I do enjoy your posts.
Supreme Court! Roe vs Wade does effect you. If you were a young man using a condom and someone got pregnant. Would you want to support that kid the rest of your life! Abortion is going backward and ultimately, it does effect men! I know several women that got pregnant due to a hole in the condom or whatever. Abortion is a necessity in this country! It is a man's issue, not just women. Yet men do not seem concerned!
The Terrorist Act: If you have been threatened at the ripe age of 53 and told you were going to jail and harassed by a cop with the terrorist act all day long. You would want it to change. I am not for completely getting rid of it all. But, wiretapping a good citizen with no good reason! Sending me to jail, even though he couldn't and I knew it, but he was threatening me and his superiors did not care!
Alaskan Pipeline: Needs replaced and is not enough to move more oil through! It is being repaired 24/7 365! That and Exxon getting off the hook are things she needed to address as Gov.
Women will never have equal rights with women that think like her. I think McCain is better than she is! She holds all the "Good ole boys values!" Only diff. between her and Cheney is: Oil co. ties and her health (age)! More of the same!
You must admire a woman that gets pregnant after the age of 30! The risk of Down's Syndrome is checked due to that being a major possibility! At 40, almost a certainty--That again, is why they check, so you can abort prior to development of fetus--For abortion. If you have been with a family strapped with a Down's Syndrome baby, it is a very difficult thing! Good thing she is in politics, so taxpayers can take care of it in her home, instead of the home for them. It is taxing to a family to take care of and practically a full time job to a loving and present mother! That kid needs more and almost all of her time!
Anti-abortion: This is 2008, we can tell when an abortion is needed and when not. Would you keep a D.S. baby. Maybe, until it got so big you couldn't change the diapers anymore. It is physically taxing, and mentally. I do not admire that! This would be a pretty hard nose approach, but it could be used for organ donor, at best! Yet, I know people that say , their Down's Syndrome baby is the light of their life. I know an M.D. that tried to take care of his, until she got so big they just could not. Put her in a Gov't home and bingo; she was happier being with like people.
I did leave out, we never know how bad the D.S. is going to be and Christian's like her will pray it is mild and deliver. I can understand that! I do not have an answer for her, for me=abortion! Plus, I'd know better than to get pregnant at that age. These celebs doing it, a lot have fertility drugs and abort the bad ones and keep the good ones, as multiple births are a result of fert. drugs. She did it natural.
She will be a major set back to Equality for women. Watch the VP's pay go down if a woman gets it. Or, no raise in salary, if deserved.
She is popular in Alaska and Alaska has the most single and horniest men on the planet! Sure they like her! They all hunt, fish and enjoy the same shit she does. My 90 yr old aunt did until she was in her mid 70's too! But, she believed in abortion and women's rights.
WHAT IS HER EDUCATION?
Sure she is pretty, and this was a joke! I expect a very close race.
Obama has been campaigning for 2 years now and I am bored with the whole thing after all this.
Will wait for the VP debates and hope it makes me feel better, as I believe either VP has a good chance to be President! I am concerned for her health: I worry about some idiot shooting at her or nOsama! I neve want to see that in this country again.
Plus, I have not seen the presence of 'liking' her voice long enough to listen to a speech. But, that could change.
I am so confused! But, this is normal for some elections. Shit happens and you don't know what to do.
Fighting and picking at each other accomplishes nothing! We need more education!
Thanks for all the links and info, I am reading and very concerned of the future of this nation!
I am not sure I want Guantanamo, completely gone! But, definitely, people given some rights, not all! Be selective. They are suspected terrorists and need to be treated like it, until otherwise evicenced. But, once they get there, no one cares. People go there for no reason, except hanging with the wrong person; I've done that! Just to talk and view their perspective on things! An act of learning to make more educated opinions!
She is anti-women and a good submissive Christian! Seems like a real nice person, too!
But, this would continue to take our country backwards and take away more of our rights! I cannot believe in the past several years that abortion would even be an issue. I do know a guy that pays a few thousand dollars a month because he got loaded and his dad's caretaker did also! They then had a one night stand and boom! Hit with child support. He wanted divorce. It seems to me, that I do not even have the answer to that, but men need to think on it! What if everytime you had sex, it cost you a few thousand a month for 18 years!
She has not improved the state employees health care or improve any conditions for employees rights! Too busy setting herself up to get a wink for the White House.
How will she decorate the VP and if she gets it White House!
I do like that she dismissed the staff for the home quarters of her family and made them clean up after themselves and cook and all the things they normally do, regardless of Gov. Mansion or not! That is a good step in the right direction! If she drives her own vehcile, I'd like that also! By not allowing staff to cater to them in the family home (Gov.mansion): is there something to hide! Or real common sense?
I do admire that she has traveled more than Obama to support troops and Gov't business! First hand knowledge. Obama was too busy going to Africa. A good excuse to see family on taxpayers buck!
I see good and bad in both. I see, that no one will know how I will vote, until I see or read a very good reason.
So please, if you do not mind. Give me some links on the above accusations, I did not make up!
I loved the pic of the sea opening! WE need a little more humor here. Wher is dail and Illinill? Lets lighten this up and get some facts to convince the one that needs more facts. Please help me out! So, I do not have apathy! I want to vote. And I want rights, mmj nationwide, won't happen this round! But, I am an endless diehard optimist!!!
And if I had kush around, I would be on it 24/7 to make my mind open, even more!
I respect each and every opinion and you are all helping me. Thank you for that! PR :stoned:
Wish I had an answer and think I'll go fishing to ponder it! Deep sea, so when I hang over the side to puke, everyone will think it is seasickness!
Get religion out of politics and I believe she and Obama would have different views on a lot of things! Pr :rastasmoke: Peace and love to all and ever lasting respect! :thumbsup:

I have not met one man that really wants a woman in any of those positions! Do men hate women, in general! Or just the ones that did not respect their mom's! I do not understand what gender has to do with it. If she were older and unable to reproduce-it should be considered equal! During reproducing age--maybe not a good idea, I do not know for sure!
We don't even know her education yet! Did she go to college, at all? That might make a good one!
Women run other countries and we are not at war with any of them, nor are they at war! I hope! PR:stoned:

Palin went straight from being a mayor of a town with 9000 people to being governor. Palin has been governor since 2007, Obama has been senator since 2005. The 143 days thing only counts the days the senate is in session. But during the off-time the senators do other stuff like diplomatic trips and drafting legislation, so saying those 143 days are the only time he's been working is incredibly unrealistic.
On an unrelated note, Wasilla, Alaska is right near the Matanuska Valley, home of the infamous Matanuska Thunderfuck. I know that now that I said that, someone will vote for her just for that, but I still thought it was interesting. :jointsmile:

Palin went straight from being a mayor of a town with 9000 people to being governor. Palin has been governor since 2007, Obama has been senator since 2005. The 143 days thing only counts the days the senate is in session. But during the off-time the senators do other stuff like diplomatic trips and drafting legislation, so saying those 143 days are the only time he's been working is incredibly unrealistic
Obama is running for president and I wouldn't say he has more experience. Mr Uhhh look at me diplomatic trip :D
Don't slander the vpilf :p

Are you kidding me??? This is one of the most ridiculous statements I have heard. She has a ton of Environmental Experience and is an Avid wildlife enthusiast. If theres any argument against her man the ENVIRONMENTAL one is one that she cant be attacked over.
Wrong.
She has a very bad environmental record. She opposed a ballot initiative to prohibit metal processing companies from polluting rivers that support salmon. She supports drilling in ANWAR (which even McCain does not support) and offshore drilling (which McCain has recently flip-flopped to support). She denies global warming, even though her own state will be one of the first to suffer and is already losing whole villages as they sink into the mud when the permafrost thaws. She opposes listing polar bears as threatened.
She can easily be attacked on her environemntal record.

I think John McCain chose her because he doesn't really want to be president.
This is obviously a ploy by John McCain to sway democratic voters to the republican party.
I would like to say that, through the course of John McCain's very long life, he has had several wifes, and in every circumstance, he has left his older wife for a younger woman. I think he is really just trying to fuck his vice president and leave his wife to spend all day with her in the oval office. We'll be seeing another repeat of the Clinton sex scandal again if McCain is our president--only this time the sexual acts will be even worse because for god sakes he's so old, how did he do it, where is the viagra , so many questions for John McCain:stoned:.
with that being said, Obama seems like the kind of guy who I really could sit down with and smoke a fat blunt while sipping red wine by the fireplace.
what i don't like about obama: he is too rhetorical, and sometimes he reminds me of a guy trying to sweet talk a woman to get into her pants ("her pants" being our votes, the woman being the voters, respectively).

Like I just Told IR.... I herd she broke all the fingers on ONe Hand while working as a fisherman one summer.... she is tough and HOT:thumbsup:
Cool? Can't see how that applies to being a vice president but alright...
Mother of 5
Several of whom are quite young. Shouldn't she be taking care of them instead?
oldest going off to war in Iraq
Good for him, I'm glad. Now, once she goes over there and kills a few dozen people, we'll be set.
New mother with special needs baby
One more reason I WON'T vote for them. That baby is going to need CONSTANT attention and care, but I guess she'd rather dump it on a baby sitter instead. Talk about irresponsible.
loves moose burgers
Yay?
can hunt fish and ride snowmobiles
Yay 2.0? That's about as cool as Bill Clinton playing sax or Kerry going snowboarding. Meaning not cool, or hip.
was Public servant (mayor) for 4 years before Nobama was in Illonios senate
Ah yes, because running a town is a lot like a running a country....oh wait, no, it isn't. However, I'll concede that Obama IS inexperienced, I can't really argue for him on that.
CEO of AK.......(cut spending in own party)
Alright, that's fair. Point for you.
Commander and chief of ak National gaurd..
They have a National Guard? Are they there to protect us from Soviets, seals, or Eskimos?
Has smoked Weed, thats cool. she didnt like it cause she didnt have any good shit....:D
I'm gonna let my bias take this one. She's a Republican, which means if she DID try weed, and didn't like it, she's going to fight that much harder to get rid of it.
