McCain's turn to chose VP
Time magazine says one thing, but I'm still thinking Condi Rice could beat an Obama/Biden ticket in November.

I agree but she's already said no i believe.
|
I can't understand why people think that. Rice would not help McCain gain any distance from the Bush admin.
PD |
I think people most concerned with making distance from the Bush administration are democrats and they're unlikely to vote for anyone the republicans put up for election anyways.
Rice is a hard working and intelligent women who'd make a good VP in my opinion. |
Just please don't choose Lieberman....Please. :down:
|
Oof, not Lieberman.
*shudder* Gossip is that he'll announce tomorrow in Dayton. I say Romney. |

I feel bad for the guy. Everything he has done wrong had been done worse before, except perhaps his poor public speaking. Quote:
The real danger for the GOP is that Democratic voters might actually vote for once. If they did that, Repubs would be screwed for as long as it took the Dems to destroy the economy and erode personal freedoms. I used to work for the Denton County Republican party from time to time. Any districts in which we had 33% Republican constituency were considered "a sure thing". Only districts with a 1-15% Republican constituency were considered "lost causes" Anymore I only vote Republican when there are no Libertarians on the ballot because I figure they will at least destroy the country's economic and social infrastructure more slowly. IMHO both the repubs and the dems are so into the political game that they simply cannot do what is right for the country. Certainly, neither party is intentionally harming the country, they just try to do what they think is best for their constituents (and sometimes themselves, coincidentally). Being able to write or support a piece of regulation is a powerful incentive when one is an elected official. It says "Look! I'm doing something for you! Your interests are my concern! So you should re-elect me and let me keep my job, because I'm looking out for you!" I seem to have gone off on a tangent. I hope all will forgive me for not simply deleting the post altogether. But, as long as I'm going on this long I would like to add that Libertarians are not immune to the same vices. I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the party that says "Look! I've done nothing! I voted against everything just for you! I even repealed some laws you thought you wanted, but were too stupid to realize you didn't need! I'm looking out for you, re-elect me!" once they eventually become a dominant party in the reactionary movement sure to schism the U.S. once eveything has finished going to hell. But, for the time being, I think that's the right way to go. The problem with any political party is that it's political. And in a democracy they remain dangerous because none of us are as dumb as all of us. |

McCain picked a woman for VP
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...082902052.html Republican presumptive presidential nominee John McCain introduced first-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate here Friday at a raucous rally before thousands of his supporters. |
She is a damned sight better looking than Joe Biden:D
|
No way!:88)
|
A race of firsts!:yep:
One black guy with a good chance of becoming president. One white woman with a good cahnce of becomeing Vice president (and a heart attack away from being President) She is also a life time member of the NRA and goes hunting on a regular basis, beware of the grassy knoll???:hmm: :lol:I don't think that's likely!;) |
Obama is not partying about this choice I bet. But then again, maybe he is because he has no idea what to think about anything anyway. Change is his message, yet he brings in the old dog Biden who is a racists?
The only one bringing in change here is McCain. Palin represents major change. Smart move McCain. -S PS. I bet Obama is probably still oblivious to what just happened: http://i38.tinypic.com/14udkkp.jpg |
Party on Wayne-Party on Garth...:rotfl:
