I disagree. Granted, she is the VP candidate and as such will not be setting policy, but she made it very clear she supports an aggresive stance toward terrorism, strong national defence, lower taxes, smaller government, and less spending. That's what I support.
I disagree.
You disagree that I support those princicples? What?

Given the stances McCain has taken in the past and present, no. I could not vote for the man. I fear that the failed tactics of Bush would continue under the McCain/Palin administration, and the country would only run further into the ground.

However, I don't think he'll win once the chips are down. He's selected a woman for a VP who has no experience whatsoever in the workings of government, beyond being a governor at the most (and he just met her about two weeks before he selected her as his running mate), her daughter is pregnant at 17, and a lot of McCain's supporters (about 38 million to be exact) have drawn the conclusion that he just selected her to have Clinton's supporters rally around him (which did not work).

However you look at it, something's up. Why would he select Palin? There are/were better choices that he was offered, yet he chose her...:hmm:

I sense a plot involving offshore drilling.

With that said, the election is just two months away. Unless McCain can pull some amazing stunt, it's really not looking too good for him right now.

One last thing, though... how aggressive would he be with terrorism?
Yeah, but her level of experience is still greater than Obama's, and he's the one the Democrats have selected for President. Palin is the VP candidate.
