I personally couldn't give a flying fart either way.
I will say though that the abistinance-only sex education policy that Palin advocates does not work. It obviously did not work with her own daughter. Maybe if her daughter had been taught something about contraception, she would not have got knocked up.
This is dead wrong in my opinion.Quote:

Most of the time they aren't called to perform this duty, so it may seem like the office is not a "position of heavy burden/responsibility." But that's like saying it's fine to have crappy insurance because you almost never use it. When you need it, you better have damn good insurance, and a damn good VP.
John McCain has hammered Barack Obama for being too inexperienced to be President. And Obama has replied that he exercises better judgment than McCain, despite the difference in experience. With McCainâ??s choice for Vice President, Obama wins that argument.
Unlike the selection of Obama as the Democratic candidate, which was made by the millions of Democrats who voted in the Democratic primary, the selection of the even less experienced Sarah Palin was McCainâ??s choice alone, and it shows his poor judgment.
Palinâ??s only political experience is her service as a city council member and then mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, a town with a population half the size of the very smallest town in my county, and her brief 20 months as governor of Alaska, a state with a population one third smaller than my county.
Have you ever attended a city council meeting or county board of supervisors meeting? I have been to many of them and used to attend them regularly as a stringer reporter. In towns this size, mostly we are talking about things like zoning variances or whether a stoplight is required at a particular intersection. Maybe there is some kind of negotiation with the garbage company. Often positions at that level are not even considered full-time paid positions, and the office holders work part time and collect stipends instead of salaries. Meetings are usuallly twice a month, or less. Dealing with issues at that level does not prepare someone to deal with the complex national-level issues of governing a world superpower like the United States.
McCain kept pounding away about how a President needs to be ready from day one. Palin doesnâ??t meet McCainâ??s own criterion that the Vice President must be someone who is ready to be President from day one. McCain exercised poor judgment in picking her, especially when compared to Obamaâ??s excellent judgment in picking the indisputably qualified Joe Biden.
If this is the kind of decision-making we can expect from McCain, I don't want to see him anywhere near the White House. Picking Palin was either a completely dumbass blunder, or a desperate Hail Mary gamble, and either way, it's not what I want from a president.
Typicaly the choice of Vice President does not help the ticket all that much, if at all, but it can be a serious liability. I think McCain picked a serious liability.
true, Mccain indeed has a good probability not to finish his term in office even if he doesnt die or anythin... a mere sickness or mental pressure for that matter can have harsh implications on a guy his age, and this job makes those men who went in with younger looking black hair, to walk out with major white areas on their heads! it makes u old, i donno what can it do to an already old person!Quote:

Paulin is a shoe in for 'Catholic's and Bible thumpers!' I'd even say, Mormon, You name it. Biden will not pull an religious vote. That is Obama's weak spot due to his dispute with his minister, etc.! Perhaps, other reasons, but that was the most obvious! PR
Once again, personal attacks NOT allowed. Not that hard of a concept. Gifts were given to ALL offenders.
This one is CLOSED!
