I'll vote for that gal right now. As she spoke tonight, i thought how anti- Hillary, Anti- Pelosi, Anti-Washington she is!!!!!! So what do ya'll think?
No attacking each other, just what do ya think about her speech? As a rancher who do you think will look out for your interests better, Obama or McCain? I try to stay out of these political sessions as they can raise your blood pressure no matter which side ya chose. But i would love to hear actual issues and your argument behind which canidate will actually do something with those issues that mean something to you. And please quit attacking each others opinions and start backing up your own opinion!!!! So what do ya think?

in picking Palin , McCain pulled off a great play against Obama's so called speech.. a literal Hail Mary.. now he needs a hat trick..

I liked the speech.. and already liked her..

the speech was good, she was able to go right for Obama.. and that other guy.. Obamas' VP (whats' his name?),..

the only question I had afterwords,.. was now that Palin has Obama in the cross hairs.. and already put Biden in his place.. , heck she put both of them in their place..


Whats' McCain going to do now?

How can he top her?..

She must have stirred up the radical evangelicals-- they're praying for John McCains salvation and speedy death. Shocked

Heres just one example...

Quote:
I was hoping for a good showing for a pro-life third party candidate in this cycle, which could in turn affect the next elections in favor of conservative Christians. I'll explain my thinking on that later. The Palin nomination turned that chance on it's head. Even James Dobson, the Constitution Party's most well- known supporter who said he'd "never" support John McCain, has now reversed his decision based on Palin's nomination.

So here is my three point plan:

1. Vote Constitution Party. (I vote my conscience and cannot support McCain even with Palin.)

2. Pray for Sarah Palin to win. (I am an idealist, but also a realist!)

3. Pray for John McCain's salvation and speedy death.

That's got to be one of life's greatest mysteries - how in the hell a rancher can even consider voting for Obama. Say what?


In answer to your question about the speech, I thought it was pretty close to perfect. Much better than Biden's. I think that she really reached the undecided women voters. Not the radical bra-burners that wouldn't have voted for her anyway, but the the moderates that will help decide the election.

I had the feeling that there were other things that she wanted to say, though. She almost seemed to be actually biting her tongue at times. My wife said she had heard that the McCain people were sitting on her trying to control her mouth - because her reputation is to carry the fight to her opponents and to REALLY say what's on her mind.

If that's the case, I wish they would turn her loose. I'm ready to hear what she's REALLY thinking....

Simple, she appealed to Middle America...she came across as one of us!!!!!

NO, NR and Mrs. Greg, you can't have her...but she has been your neighbor all her life. She will be good for Canada as VP...and, later, as President.
But you'll have to solve your Quebec problem yourselves!!! Wink Smile Very Happy
