Loving it! Typical Obama: this is what I really think, but ah um,aaaaaaah, let me clarify that for you...hahahaha
The Obama camp is totally swamped. There is not a single argument that they can use against Palin that in turn won't be used against Obama.
The Hillary crew will DESERT THE DEMOCRATS FOREVER to put a woman in that high an office. They will forever abandon them as Sarah Palin becomes the woman who breaks the glass ceiling, a working mother with a three-month old baby who can still be Vice President of the US. They will leave Hillary behind because the GOP will DELIVER for them what Obama and the Democrats could NOT.
And when Barack Obama loses by 15 points and 200 electoral votes, the African-Americans will turn on the Democrats as well. They'll leave the party in droves too. They will finally give up on the ingrained racism of affirmative action and quotas and leave too.
Obama's historic loss will be the end of the Democratic Party in this country. Good riddance to them.
And America will enter a new age.
LOL Brat. LightWave as usual you are spot on.
"The Hillary crew will DESERT THE DEMOCRATS FOREVER to put a woman in that high an office."
Considering you claimed that Hillary would be the nominee at the convention this week, your political "predictions" are not really in tune with reality and will go the other way. McCain desperately selected Palin, a governor who presides over more glaciers than actual people, without even interviewing her and has no personal relationship or any history working with her, unlike Obama and Biden. Palin didn't even know McCain's own policies when interviewed today, and her creationist, anti-global warming, and anti-choice record will only further inflame and unite Hillary supporters against her in dramatic fashion. I find it absolutely hilarious that McCain used Pawlenty, Hutchinson, and Romney, the much more logical running mates, as covers for this ludicrous pick whose supporters will only be further angered and fractured entering the Republican convention.
McCain responded to Obama's original remark about Palin's experience by saying (not verbatim)
"Gov. Palin first ran for office in 1992. I don't know what Obama was doing 16 years ago."
heh. Gotta love it.
I'm delighted by McCain's excellent choice in Palin!
Why do Obama and his campaign continue to shoot first, then try to backtrack later?
They've no idea what ready, aim, fire means.
And they've so much hatred and bile in their hearts and souls, they now cannot contain the bloodlust they've initiated.
These fascists must be defeated. They've already destroyed the Demockacrat Party.
It's hilarious to see the spin the sour grapes, totally negative at all times crowd are already trying to put on Palin. Shows just how desperate they really are in their empty suit and old, white man candidates (thought it was Republicans who were nothing but old white men). Palin may enforce her personal beliefs on herself, but if the people like Dan would do even a minor modicum of research they would see she doesn't personally support abortion, but signed a pro-choice law; she doesn't personally support gay marriage, but signed a bill giving gays rights, and on and on. She's young, vibrant, full of energy, full of conviction, has morals, has a real husband and not a trophy husband (thereby sealing any discussion about her questionable sexuality), fiscally and socially conservative.
She doesn't talk out of both sides of her mouth trying to please everyone, fiercely patriotic, an "ordinary" person, not a pie in the sky elitist, one who has worked with her hands and her heart, not just her mouth and lip service.
Positive, not hammering constant negativity. Positive yet realistic. Shown to be capable of running one of 50 microcosms of the federal government ( we call those states, Dan). Not to mention executive qualities running a household, complete with husband and five children (including being pregnant on the job with a Down's syndrome child she steadfastly refused to abort for convenience) while performing the executive duties of running a state.
She fights corruption rather than reveling in it--selling the governor's jet on ebay, cutting her OWN salary, cutting property taxes by 60%, getting rid of pork and earmarks.
Even this so-called scandal regarding the state trooper and her sister has a basis in something women--and real men--can understand--the bastard was beating her sister and tasering her 11 year old nephew.
Desperate choice Dan? Not hardly. A bold, courageous move your own candidate was completely incapable of even considering. Yes, this country is ready for a female in this high an office, just not Hillary. Yes, this country is ready for a black in high office, just not Stinky.
Hope and Change? Republicans, not Democrats. Yes We Can? Republicans, not Democrats.
Stinky chose yesterday for his spectacular, designed by Brittany Spears stage manager--the anniversary of MLK's I have a Dream Speech. He tried to tie himself to the coattails of a real merchant of change.
Today, though--today. The anniversary of Women's Sufferage--and historically, on the same day, we are given the gift of Sarah Palin.
Go back and snack on your sour grapes and cheetohs Dan. You've lost. Start dealing with it.
The general consensus, despite you wishful naysayers, is McCain has won the election with this stroke of genius. An old white man has outmanuevered your so called young genius. By real strategy, he made no promises of who would be the first to know and he gave no clues--thereby he was able to keep it such a secret the emotion was genuine when announced. Nor was it a let down as it was when No Brain was announced.
You've lost. Deal with it.
SEZ DAN:
"I find it absolutely hilarious that McCain used Pawlenty, Hutchinson, and Romney, the much more logical running mates, as covers for this ludicrous pick whose supporters will only be further angered and fractured entering the Republican convention."
SEZ ME:
I think you are going to see an excited, fired-up, sizzling Republican Convention. The choice of Palin, among other things, diffused any chance of hurt feelings between factions by selecting someone who was acceptable to everyone. Great choice. Brilliant execution. And I'll take Palin's "trooper-gate" "scandal" over Rezko, Ayers, Wright, et. al. any day.
"I think you are going to see an excited, fired-up, sizzling Republican Convention."
Hurricane Gustave will certainly take out any of the "sizzle" created by the Republican convention on Monday..
"You've lost. Deal with it."
Miss Beth and Lightwave - I would love to see actual money placed by both of you on these bold predictions and don't think that I would ever make any statements like that months before the election. The bottom line is McCain and Palin barely even know each other..Palin didn't know anything about what the office of the Vice Presidency entails and has no national presence. You can keep claiming that you've already "won", just like Hillary's supporters did before the primaries, and we'll see how that turns out.
What does gustav have to do with anything? Louisiana now has a governor not bent on the chocolate people corruption (as Mayor Nagin called it) and has already ordered the evacuation of the city. So what does that have to do with anything?
As far as money, the only thing I bet with is my life and no, I would never bet my life with a sour grapes negative nelly who is terrified of reality.
Who cares if Palin and McCain barely know each other? Like Stinky and No Brain are best friends?
Yes, Dan we will see how it turns out. Ultimately, Hillary was not likeable. Palin is. Palin also is not an arrogant, racist, elitist.
Keep spinning, you're quite amusing.
Yep.. Obama did beat a confident Clinton team... then again, in the election he won't have Howard Dean pulling strings, "super delegates" to count on, caucuses to stuff.. he's a great reader, but it remains to be seen if he can win in a fair fight.
Great choice. Never even heard of her, yet from researching Palin today, she seems like an extrordinary real-life person with humble begginings and a life of hard work, unlike Obama. As a democrat I would usually not be comfortable with voting for a republican at the national level, but given the nightmare the DNC has inflicted on everyone who is not comfortable with their chosen nominee with a thin resume and questionable associates, this choice of Palin is making my future vote for McCain feel much better.
Dems are in a tizzy over that fact that our #2 has a bigger pair than their #1. Either that or their heads are still aching from trying to convince everyone that Biden's really not a Washington insider because he goes home every night. It takes a real agent of change to take advantage of proximity.
What really tickles me about Palin is that she is the type of person that we all wish would run for president, but they don't because of the corruption and crony-ism. It looks like she just got the chance to leap-frog the BS and get to the top of the ticket in '12 or '16.
Sweet.
[from Brietbart.com; "Obama ad: McCain isn't change agent"] "McCain and the Republican National Committee planned to begin airing a new ad that depicts Obama as nothing more than an accomplished speaker." I disagree with this observation that Obama is an accomplished speaker. He is a FANTASTIC ACTOR (i.e. he can read lines and put feelings into those memorized words), but he is NOT an accomplished speaker. His script is his life-support. Take that away and he's not very articulate. [from above article] "I think that, uh, you know, campaigns start getting these, uh, hair triggers and, uh, the statement that Joe and I put out reflects our sentiments,..."
Normally Obama gives two contradictory messages on this kind of issues: a) high road: his second statement and b) low road: the first statement.
The first statement was directed to media and Obama bloggers. Obama did not distance himself from the first statement. His timing was off, that's all.
This is a repeat of his strategy against Clinton. Obama's mistake was to encourage people to get to know Palin.
Yep the Spineless Benny Obama did a fast 360.. but then Trolls are expected to do his Dirty Talks.. they are Expendable after all..BUT are we to expect STRIGHT HOnest Talk from the Masked Empty Suit???
