Well game on. McCain just announced the Republican VP and a real BABE, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Now before, I thought this would be Obama's time, unbeatable. But now, after this pick which could pick up quite a few burned Hillary supporters, it's gonna be a toss up.

You know, before now I would've thought the majority of Americans would be too smart to even acknowledge this utterly idiotic line of reasoning. Thanks for bringing me back down to earth with the very first post.

I don't know what's more retarded -- the notion that Democrats are going to vote for McCain because they're such Hillary fans that they won't vote for Obama; or that Hillary only ever had a following not because of her health care stance, not because of her anti-war views, not because she was married to an extremely popular two-term president -- but because she's a woman, and therefore any woman will attract the same following. The press coverage of this reminds me of football sportscasters who keep pretending up until the last 30 seconds that a blowout is not a blowout (honest-to-God true headline on Yahoo: "Analysis: Palin may be plus or bust for McCain." Wow! Somebody actually sat around all day to come up with that analysis?) Here's the truth: McCain just put a would-be Miss Alaska in line for the presidency. Game over, fuckwits.

And after all the hard work that Karl Rove did to build a shadow government. He must be shitting his pants right about now.

If you were a woman, which of the above would you strive to be like? ok then. point made.


I'm sorry to have enlightened you about the true state of the American public voters, but it's true. Most women in this country aren't pro choice, they're just not. Women didn't give a damn what Hillary wanted or thought, she was just a bitch that had power and was sticking it to the man and they liked it. Now that this other woman has come along, Hillary will be forgotten and left like an ex wife. And she does have more experience than even Obama. She was a Mayor for 6 years and a Governor of a very important oil reserve state for 2 years.

Hillary's place, taken by the "other" woman again! I love it.

come on, are you honestly saying that you can still be surprised at the level of stupidity found in either the media or the public at large? I agree that you would have to be +1 on chromosomes to actually buy or fall for this strategy, but that means it will probably work quite well.

I have met hillary in person and I was surprised by how attractive she was. I'll admit that was a bad picture and she is obviously older than the other woman, but she isn't terrible up close. I shook her hand so I had a close look. She is short as hell though.

McCain takes small early lead.

Quote:
UTICA, New York - Republican John McCain's surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate - some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama's historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination - has possibly stunted any Obama convention bump, the latest Zogby Interactive flash poll of the race shows.

The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.

In other words, the race is a dead heat.

The interactive online Zogby survey shows that both Obama and McCain have solidified the support among their own parties - Obama won 86% support of Democrats and McCain 89% of Republicans in a two-way head-to-head poll question not including the running mates. When Biden and Palin are added to the mix, Obama's Democratic support remains at 86%, while McCain's increases to 92%.

After the McCain "Veep" announcement on Friday, Palin was almost immediately hailed as a strong conservative, and those voters have rallied to the GOP ticket, the survey shows. Republicans gather in St. Paul, Minnesota this week to officially nominate McCain and Palin as their presidential ticket.

Pollster John Zogby: "Palin is not to be underestimated. Her real strength is that she is authentic, a real mom, an outdoors person, a small town mayor (hey, she has dealt with a small town city council - that alone could be preparation for staring down Vladimir Putin, right?). She is also a reformer."

"[size=18=A very important demographic in this election is going to be the politically independent woman, 15% of whom in our latest survey are undecided."[/size]

"In the final analysis, this election will be about Obama vs. McCain. Obama has staked out ground as the new JFK - a new generation, literally and figuratively, a new face of America to the world, a man who can cross lines and work with both sides. But McCain is the modern day Harry Truman - with lots of DC experience, he knows what is wrong and dysfunctional with Washington and how to fix it, and he has chosen a running mate who is about as far away from Washington as he could find.

"This contest is likely to be very close until the weekend before the election - then the dam may break and support may flood one way or the other."

The interactive survey shows that 22% of those voters who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in their primary elections or caucus earlier this year are now supporting John McCain.

Among those who said they shop regularly at Wal-Mart - a demographic group that Zogby has found to be both "value" and "values" voters - Obama is getting walloped by McCain. Winning 62% support from weekly Wal-Mart shoppers, McCain wins these voters at a rate similar to what President Bush won in 2004. Obama wins 24% support from these voters.


Other demographic details are fairly predictable, showing that the McCain/Palin ticket heads into its convention on Monday with numbers that may fuel an optimism they may not have expected, and that many would not have predicted, especially after Obama's speech Thursday night.


Now you might hold your nose up at the very thought of "Wal-Mart shoppers" deciding the leader of the free world, but it's that very elitist attitude that they proudly say :whatevaho:.

And although it's still too early to call, the very fact that the "messiah" is behind so soon after his convention should give you an idea of what trouble he is in. Buyers remorse anyone?

oh nooos. talk about a kick to the cootchie

elections.foxnews.com /palins-17-year-old-daughter-is-pregnant/

Quote:
The 17-year-old unwed daughter of John McCain’s new running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is five-months pregnant, Palin and her husband, Todd Palin, said Monday in a written statement.

McCain’s campaign told FOX News that the presumptive Republican presidential candidate knew about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy before he chose Palin as his running mate last Friday, and that Bristol is planning to marry the father of her child.

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,” the Palins said in the statement. “Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.”

The Palins asked the media to respect their family’s privacy.

“Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”

A McCain campaign spokesman told FOXNews.com that Bristol’s pregnancy was considered a “private, family matter” that had “absolutely nothing to do” with her mother’s candidacy

Or you could go with the Gallup Poll instead of the "Zogby Interactive Poll" (which apparently only polls Wal-Mart shoppers):


Quote:
Aug. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama jumped to his biggest lead since late July in public opinion polls, after his Aug. 28 speech to more than 75,000 people in a Denver football stadium when he accepted the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.

. . .

In a separate USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Aug. 29, about 40 percent of respondents said they consider Palin, a 44-year-old first-term governor, qualified to be president -- the lowest level since President George H.W. Bush picked Indiana Senator Dan Quayle as his running mate in 1988. One-third of the people surveyed don't think Palin is qualified, and the rest had no opinion.

By comparison, 57 percent of Americans considered Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden qualified to take the top office if necessary, with 18 percent doubting his qualifications.

Palin may not attract large numbers of disillusioned supporters of Hillary Clinton. Only 9 percent of Democratic women said Palin makes them more likely to support the Republican ticket; 15 percent were less likely to back McCain. Among all women, 20 percent said Palin's selection made them more likely to vote for McCain and 11 percent were less likely.

Half of those polled had never heard of Palin before her selection, the Gallup/USA Today poll found.

In a Rasmussen Reports tracking poll, 35 percent of those surveyed said Palin's selection made them more likely to vote for McCain, while 33 percent said they were less likely to back the Arizona senator.

Most voters questioned in the Rasmussen poll had a good impression of Palin, who beat out more experienced contenders to join McCain's ticket.

Obama, a senator from Illinois, had a 47-44 percent advantage over McCain in Rasmussen tracking results through Aug. 30, the same margin he had a week ago, before the Democratic convention began. Including undecided voters who say they're leaning toward one candidate or another, Obama leads 49-46 percent, Rasmussen said.

Gallup's tracking poll interviews at least 1,000 U.S. adults each day, and reflects combined data from the most recent three days of polling, and has an error margin of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Rasmussen surveys 1,000 likely voters each night, and combines three days of polling in each tracking result. Its poll also has a plus or minus 2 percentage point error margin.


Of course there may be a new poll now that Palin has the unmarried white trash contingent sewn up. Oh wait, they're not old enough to vote.

Although it would seem illogical to me to not vote for the party’s platform you most agree, I do think many people will jump party lines to vote for the individual candidate they tend to favor or indentify with in this election. I think blacks of either party (not that there are a lot of republican blacks, but they do exist) will vote for Obama and women of either party will be inspired to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. Minorities in general, both Republican or Democrat will tend to favor Obama, but what percentage of those are actually registered/qualified to vote?

I vote party platform over candidate because I feel at the end of the day, the party’s platform will outweigh the individual candidate’s views on the important issues.

In the past few months, I had the feeling the momentum was w/ Obama. I knew it was early, but it seemed the call for change was here and some were responding to Obama’s message. With all the low poll numbers attributed to Bush, I’m surprised to see Obama w/out a good size lead over McCain. And it’s obvious as hell Obama is trying to make the word ‘Bush’ into a label like the Republican’s do when associating a democrat w/ ‘Kennedy’ or ‘Liberal’

the more I hear about this lady the scarier it gets. creationism in schools? I love that her 17 yr old daughter is pregnant, I guess that locks down the white trash vote, if it wasn't already. The father of her daughters baby has a website that says I am a redneck and I will kick your ass. I know the best is still to come with her. May7be Nader should be pres, at least our products would be safer while the country plummets further into a pile of turd.

I've been a registered voter for 3 presidential elections and still haven't seen a nominee worth voting for yet. People love to give me shit when I speak out against the President because I didn't vote at all. Why should I? If I don't like Bush, Kerry, Gore, Obama, McCain or Nader why should I have to vote? That doesn't mean that my view of the country isn't worth listening to. It just means that the candidates that the Democratic/Republican/Whig/Federalist/Green parties gave to us aren't good enough. Where are the good nominees? Where are the Washingtons, Lincolns, Jacksons, Eisenhowers, Roosevelts, Kennedys? When did the Executive Office become such a joke? Did it die with JFK? Lost in the Nixon Watergate fiasco? Gone with the Clinton cigar box? I look back on the energy and optimism this country had during the Truman/Eisenhower/Kennedy years and wish we could have a little of that today.


Also, According to The Onion, McCain might have some competition from a third party.

Apparently it also said something like he wants to be married or in a relationship, but doesn't want kids -- at least until it was taken down. Sounds like he dropped out of high school too.

TBH, I couldn't care less how many kids Palin's daughter has, pre-marriage or otherwise. The thing I find most sickening about this is that all of the right-wing religious types with their "don't judge, we're all sinners" bullshit justifications would be down the Democrats' throats deeper than John Holmes if this were someone involved with Obama's campaign instead. Even as it is, they're all claiming that the Obama camp is trying to "smear" Palin, when in fact there is nothing that has come out that a) isn't true or b) wasn't volunteered by Palin herself.

On the fantasy front, colossal failure Fred Thompson (remember when he was being touted as the candidate who would change the race?) praised Palin's accomplishments as governor of "the largest state in the Union" tonight -- and Alaska is indeed that, by square footage. By population, however, it comes in 47th -- yes, even less than Rhode Island. Apparently in Fred's eyes, governing people is considerably less important than governing acreage.

I dunno, I keep thinking of the movie Idiocracy. Do Americans really not want someone with above-average intelligence as their president? Can someone who believes that the earth is only 5000 years old really be trusted with its most powerful position?

it's actually 6,000 years old. get your shit right.

And I think it's refreshing that finally, an average American has the chance to represent the people instead of some political hack that has been born and bred into the posistion. Do you really want a King or someone that might actually know how it feels to be just like you, representing you in office? This person, faults and all, is a typical American. Mr. Obama can't say that, he went to Harvard.

Are you really this fucking stupid or are you just playing devil's advocate?

Obama worked his ass off to get into Harvard. I have no problems with a president who works his ass off. And if, in general, being "just like me" implies someone who is also just like you, then I'd prefer that he be better than that. He's running for President of the United States, not dog catcher.

put your eyes back in and shut the fuck up.

You're the dumbass that thinks she's running for president. She's the VP nominee, McCain is the head of the ticket. It's McCain vs Obama and head of ticket is who most vote for. McCain went for a political move by choosing her, plain and simple. If she was a man, she would have never been considered. What she brings is swing vote females to McCain and gets the base behind him more than they were before. If he had went with Leiberman or someone similar, the Republican base would have left him and Obama would be Prez. But he didn't do that, he threw a hail marry pass to an unknown woman and he'll either be a political genius come November or a dumbass.

Was it reckless to put such an untested person that close to the office? Don't know, can't know until he dies in office and she's left the big chair. But remember, she IS the Governor of a state that borders two countries, Canada and RUSSIA.. so the thought of foreign relations have crossed her mind before.

At the same time, is it any less reckless to be putting Obama in office? He has zero executive experience and zero foreign relations experience. He's a community organizer, a law professor, a State Senator and a good public speaker. That's it! If elected, he will be the single most unqualified person ever to hold the office.


Take that and smoke it, BITCH.

To those of us who actually made it through 12 years of English classes, there is a huge difference between qualification and experience. George Bush's experience as governor of Texas clearly did not make him qualified to be President. Some could even argue that his 8 years of being President also failed to qualify him for the job.

And if you're going to continue to compare Obama and Palin, then let's actually do so. Obama was elected to the Illinois state senate three times. Illinois has a state population of over 12 million. Alaska has a population of around 690,000. Palin has been governor there just under two years. Before that she was mayor of a town that that was so small she won the election with less than 1,000 votes. Note that I didn't say a 1,000 vote margin.

Not surprisingly, you failed to even mention that Obama has been a US Senator for just about 4 years, which is a national office. During this time he has had to weigh in on any number of national issues which Palin has never remotely had to deal with. As for her stalwart defense of the Russian border, and her role as Alaska's Commander-in-Chief, well, it turns out that she has never really commanded anything. And in a way, that's understandable, as she believes that our armed forces should not take their orders from politicians, but from God.

None of this even touches upon her bullshit claim that she's a reformer (when in fact she has steadily lobbied Washington for an absurdly disproportionate share of earmarks) or her ethically smelly treatment of Alaska's Public Safety Commissioner.

By all accounts, she gave a good speech, but the honeymoon is apparently already over.

Now. I am truly sorry* if you're offended, you politically retarded, simple-minded parroting dipshit, but this is MF, not Drudge Report, NewsMax or any of those sites run by right-wing tools where you anonymously post your idiocy into the comments field and laugh until you piss yourself. You don't get to turn this forum into a blog for morons. Unless you can come up with insights more substantive than "don't know, can't know until he dies in office," I suggest you keep your dumb ass in the Metallica thread.


*Not really.

Damn right the press should apologize. They love to do all this mud-slinging shit it's pathetic. I mean the headline on msn states this for crying out loud: "Republican V.P. nominee mocks Obama, slams 'Washington elite'". The press will always reem those who are negative against things like that and it's about time they get put into their place.

Yes, but I still REALLY want to give her a facial. ;)

Anyway, I'm not for either side. But I seriously have doubts about this lady being President when McCain kicks it. Of course, this is the same country that elected W. for a second term, so what the fuck do I know?

here's some Change we can believe in:

- in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion - even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language…explicitly putting an end to any impact on abortion.

- Obama's half-brother was found by Vanity Fair living in Nairobi on $1.00 per month. He has only met his famous older brother twice - once when he was just five and the last time in 2006 when Senator Obama was on a tour of East Africa and visited Nairobi. Obama knows of his brother's living conditions.

Guilt by association is a fallacious argument. Has Obama ever repeated any of their controversial positions or done anything that reflected their radical views?

But if you insist, look up pastors Parlsey and Hagee.

You are the company you keep.

And his wife did say she was proud of her country for the first time when he declared his candidacy.


Liberals are typically fearful of the future. That's why they rely on the Government to take care of them. Whether it be socialized healthcare, unions, welfare or social security, the state IS their god. Interfere with the state, and you cut to their core motivating factor in life, FEAR.

Conservatives typically are not fearful of the future because they rely ON God to see them through the problems of life.

Well, that explains why they're not always trying to... what do you call it?... conserve things?

And if you're talking about Christian conservatives, their ideology is based in large part on fear of judgement!

I think McCain and Palin will do a much better job than Obama and Biden. McCain and Palin could probably get this country turned around for the better.

First let me say I have no favorite in this fight for the White House. But I would like to have some examples for your reasoning. It is easy to say "I think my favorite football team is better than your favorite football team" when they haven't played a game yet. Give me the reasons you think the Republican ticket can turn things around for the better over the Democratic ticket.

Where have I been? I dunno, around. I've been busy as fuck. You know, avoiding repo-men and bill collectors and saving up enough money to file chapter 13.

But money isn't everything. :whateva:

I'll be back, let me go find my soapbox.

Here, just to prove I'm not completely biased, it appears Sarah Palin cheated on her husband. It was reported by the National Enquirer that Sarah had an affair with her husbands former business partner. And it just so happens that he recently filed an emergency motion to have his divorce records sealed!

John McCains camp is threatening legal action against the reporters to shut them up.

That's what the retards want you to think, well the petition to seal the records was denied, and the records show that the claim is bogus. The reason why he filed to have them sealed was to protect his son and personal info.

oh, ok. carry on then

in other news, blogs.denverpost.com /republican-recycling/ workers found roughly 12,000 small US flags used at the Democratic convention that were in garbage bags about to be thrown away. They were given to McCain's campaign to use in a Colorado Springs campaign event.

Democrats wasting and throwing away ol' glory. Republicans saving it and recycling!

My parents were talking tonight at dinner about politics and my mom happened to bring up something that neither Obama or McCain mentioned the illegals during their speeches. My mom said she read that supposedly sometime last year I think Congress passed a law that made it possible for illegals to vote and both of them are counting on the votes. If that is true then all I can say is, :what:.

I bet the founding fathers of this country are fucking turning in their graves right now. I think it's a major insult that Congress would do something like that since you have to be a legal citizen in order to vote and that's how it should always be.

Well, now your political worldview has been explained somewhat.

Tell your mom to relax. Changes to voting rights in this country can only be made by amendments to the Constitution, and there hasn't been such a change since the voting age was lowered to 18 in 1971.

And come on, dude. You're already on the internet. Try getting information from someone besides your parents. It won't hurt and you might even learn something.

Admittedly, not very funny -- and I mean not as funny as it ought to be, in a rude South Park kind of way. But the comments from some of the readers are awesome. Reminds one of the good old days when it was liberals who were mocked for being knee-jerk, overly sensitive, politically correct and having no sense of humor.

Doing research on the internet can be incredibly painful. Without some kind of lubricant, anyway. :monocle:
