McCain/Palin ticket gets a big boost from Rush Limbaugh

Oh boy, or should I say Oh girl....What a choice!.. really maybe Paris Hilton would have been a better choice at least everyone know who she is....

What's really scary about McCain's decision is that it seems like an impulsive one. But that fits his reactionary behaviors. McCain has said he always puts his country first.It's a purely political decision, not for the welfare of the country first. That's laughable for a 72 yr.old with health issues, to choose a person has such limited foreign policy experience to be a heartbeat away. We can muddle thru domestic crises, but not when we are dealing with hostile foreign leaders.

If America didn't go to hell when Dan Quayle was VP, folks shouldn't worry about Sarah Palin being unqualified to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Besides, she has more executive/leadership experience than their top guy who is guaranteed to be the President,if elected.

So much for traditional family values. A mom with a Down's Syndrome infant wants to work 70 hours a week and travel constantly? Seems likes she's got her priorities mixed up.

Brilliant Choice………

I think I just heard Republicans exclaim, Checkmate!..... and a collective groan from Democrats as their Marxist candidate is being exposed for the empty suit that he is.

Funny, for years upon insufferable years I’ve listened to Liberals moan how women haven’t had a fair shot…..that being a mother and running a household is on the same par with running a company……more valuable and more difficult than being a Fortune 500 executive. Here is a woman who has run a company and has ACTUALLY GOVERNED, which is more than can be said of any of the three men running for the top two offices in the land.

Here is a woman who stands on her principles; that rooted out corruption and destroyed it WITHIN HER OWN PARTY……talk about change! Talk about integrity! Wow!

I believe it was John F Kennedy that said (to Robert McNamara) “there is no school that teaches you to become President of the United States”.

LOL. Like anyone who reads this drivel would vote for anyone but a liberal?

Palin has woken me up, I see a real American hero in her,
a woman worth following! She has courage and heart, she’s a leader!
I love her fresh ideas, her traditional American values have touched my heart. She caused me to pause and think about old issues in a new way, abortion for one. Who led us down the pro abortion road anyway? Killing our unborn children when preventing pregnancy is so easy? Who fed us the line that a baby isn’t human until they exit the birth canal? We’ve allowed ourselves to become calloused to the point that pro choice actually means choosing to kill. And pretend a child can’t feel the pains of death till after birth. We’re a nation of women who need a fresh, new look at ourselves and who we have allowed to influence our hearts and minds.

flatlander- Her husband stays home with the children!! And what's wwrong with that?

I read an intersting article-interview in our paper about how Palin was chosen. McCain interviewed her many months ago and was very impressed by her accomplishments then. The main difference between him and other politicians is that he was capable of keeping his possible VPs a secret! I say kuddos to McCain & Palin! I love her willingness to show that not only can she hold and be successful at a very difficult job, but that her family is thriving and her husband supports her in her endeavors!! I am certain that their children will be stronger and happier because of what they see their parents doing not only for them, but for our country. Yes, they will have some difficult times and choices to make, but what family doesn't; and what a great example of service!

How about people vote based on the issues and their beliefs for what is the best way to deal with our nations problems and not based on age, sex, race, or religion. How sad is it that we have thousands of blogs and spend millions of dollars on things that have nothing to do with policy and government. This is exactly why we have gotten so off course and are in a decline, please people dont vote based on how well a man speeks or how much a man has suffered for our freedom but rather vote based on which one of these candidates supports your beliefs on human rights, economy, healthcare, war, terrorism,etc. there are clear differences in their plans.

Sara Palin has more experience than Obama... Governor since 2006 against Obama's 1 year in the Senate. McCain obviously has the experience over Obama. I'm goin with McCain-Palin. This choice is a no brainer.

TACOSURF,
I am afraid you are wrong on who will decide which ticket will lead our nation. Ideally, the election should be decided as you laid out. However, realistically, our voters are divided into (3)
camps: those ideologues on the left(who won't look right), those ideologues on the right(who won't look left)and that small(?) percentage of voters who may use a myriad of reasons to/not to vote for a candidate. It is this small sliver of voters which decide elections, and this small sliver which, hopefully, we may help convince to pull the lever for the BEST team for the job.

Does that demographic of voter read blogs and forums such as this one? I don't know. I also do not know how this group of folks comes to a final decision. We can only give sound reasons for our candidate and hope that the DECIDERS are listening!!!

She's not interesting at all. It's SICK. And, I worked for 4 different mayors... let's just say, the job equals nothing more than being a face for a town, and mouthpiece for city policy. A mayor has no vote (unless there's a tie), makes no policy, and really has only the power to listen to complaints and appease the public. SO... let's get real folks. As for being a mom, blah, blah, blah.... well, if that's all we need is a gun-toting momma who promotes photo shots of blood-stained hands and hunting expeditions next to her youngest and a new poster child for the pro-life agenda on the campaign trail (SICK) it affirms the idea that a pretty face, sexy legs, and sad story can actually lead the sheep in... but then we've already seen that with McCain's overworked "pretend-I'm-humble" POW story. Not this time, McCain.... this was so obviously political and such a sexist choice. You are gambling America's future and security. Seems the delusions that haunted you after solitary confinement are showing up now in your hasty decisions to con the American people. I pray (YES TO GOD, with my gun in one hand, and bible in the other) that the intelligent among us VETO this ticket. It's a dumb choice, and a dangerous proposition. Drop the maverick, we need serious deliberation on serious issues, NOT Alaska's runner up beauty queen, who finds it good judgement as a mom to drag her disabled child on a rigrous campaign trail and exploit his unfortunate early life to the media just for a vote. It's just sick and twisted. And as for the war... well, I hope someone bothers to educate this poor woman on what's going on in the world-- since she's said, Awh shucks... there's a war, oh yeah, war... well I'm not really too interested in it. REALLY? BUT you sure are happy to note your son has enlisted. One more time she's runner up, as mother of the year. Explain that after you also explain to her what a VP is, and does. She's said she really isn't sure.. and doesn't know if it's a job worth having, and that she is still considering who to vote for... She really likes what Obama has to say, and his vision, and has been giving him much consideration. Well, maybe she has some intelligence under all that glamour.

I am so happy actually we have a real powerful person in the white house... yes she will be a VP but who know she can be the President next election.... Sarah you have my vote!

I really like Mccain and Palin They both are very qualified to run America
And Obama isn't Obama has no idea one how to run the world like Mccain and Palin
Obama has not done 1 thing except raise taxes WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO RAISE TAXES SO NO TO OBAMA AND YES TO MCCAIN

I love Mccains Choice for VP she is not affraid to speak her Mind. She will do a great Job in Office unlike the democrats which don't have the Experience like her and Mccain do.I cannot believe people would rather vote for Obama a guy who has NO EXPERIENCE. THAN TO VOTE FOR A PERSON who is well qualified to run the State. Mccain.

ALSO WHO WOULD PEOPLE RATHER SEE IN OFFICE IF WE HAD ANOTHER 9/11
Wouldn't you want a person that can actually get the Job done I know I would and Mccain has that all and Obama don't

The Palin McCain ticket is a denial of the past 8 years. Palin is a seething slightly more eloquent George Bush. McCain was a good soldier but what has he done as a statesman besides vote with George Bush 90% of the time?

If we had another 9/11 I WOULD WANT OBAMA, not McCain because at least we would go after the right enemy in the appropriate country! George Bush and the Republican party lied to us. And, that is unforgiveable.

A very compelling view of how even many republicans think.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrG8w4bb3kg

Oh and why have Mccan Palin been hiding from interviews with the media!?!?!

Sarah Palin seems very simple-minded like Dr. Laura (not to mention Pres. Bush). Great quality for a vice president. Go McCain/Dr.Laura!

LouiseF,

Hmmmmm……let’s look at the Congressional record as to WHO voted FOR the bill titled:

A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

Joe Biden (D-DE), Yea
Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Yea
Tom Daschle (D-SD), Yea
John Edwards (D-NC), Yea
John Kerry (D-MA), Yea
Harry Reid (D-NV), Yea
Charles (Chuckie) Schumer (D-NY), Yea

Either these people lied to you also, (and have compounded their lie by abandoning their previous lie), or they were fooled by the “dumbest United States President ever elected” - Joe Biden.

Or they can be playing "politics" with the lives of US soldiers.

Obama has so many plans already laid out.. Check out his web site, its got every issue abroad and lists specific plans for turning the country around.

If this campaign is voted on emotion Mccain wins if its voted on issues/plans Obama wins

Check out the real Mccain the stuff the media hides cause of his power over the media.. Cant hide it on the internet.

Whats with executive experience bush has 6 years executive experience... Mccain doesn't have any... All there arguments are totally contradictor.. I just hope there is less then 50 percent ignorant people in the united states. Otherwise there will be more bloodshed and wars... This election shouldn't be close.. Hmm people must like the past more then the future.. In a nut shell Mccains plans are exactly the same as the ones already intact today..
