McCain's VP Pick - a GILF?

Mach .78 said:
I would really like to be one of her interns. Dress her up in a Goalie uniform and shoot for the 5 hole. She's a MILF for sure. Politically, You got me. I like Alaska?

Bahahah.

When they were talking about her background, she says she runs in her spare time and that snowmobiling is an excellent upper-body workout. That tells me two things...

1. She understands that you have to work both your upper body and lower body (because if it were an idiot, they would just say "Snowmobiling is a great workout" which simply isn't true. She distinguished that it was a great "upper body" workout)

2. I should probably add a Snowmobiling day to my split. Lord knows my arms could use some work.
 
She's just straight up attractive. Very classy looking. Gorgeous smile. Cute and Hot at the same time; that's not easy to pull off. She hunts. She's conservative. She respects blue-collar people. She pops out kids and holds her beauty. She pulls off the glasses-wearing hot-librarian look.

She's basically my ideal woman. Too bad she's 44, happily married, and with five kids.
 
Guys, take a victory lap. I may take one myself.

Now, what does it mean. It means that drill, drill, drill gets stronger. Sarah knows this stuff inside and out. She can back McCain in the defense of drilling, transporting and refining oil. She puts ANWR back on the map. Who knows it better than the governor of Alaska?

The delegates may have been unified last night, but the party isn’t. Women feel dissed, and why shouldn’t they? They went majority for Hillary. She lost largely because the party threw out the Michigan and Florida votes (until Obama was a foregone conclusion).

Forget this nonsense about how women are natural parts of the democratic party because it supports ‘equal pay’ for ‘comparable’ work. Women have become the emerging center of American entrepreneurship. They start business at twice the rate of men. They know about capital gains taxes, and s-corporations. They sweat the details of payroll withholding taxes. They won’t be easy to fool into believing that a hike in the top tax bracket won’t really be a tax hike on entrepreneurs.

Also forget the nonsense about women and abortion. Women are by and large a more pro-life demographic than men. In fact the most pro-choice group is young, single men (gee, I wonder why?). Who better to make this case than Sarah Palin who just brought Trig into the world this past April, her beautiful little Down’s Syndrome boy.

Add the Palin choice to the fact that the drilling moratorium ends roughly a month before the election, and you get an election that will largely be about, drill, drill, drill. Sounds pretty good to me.
 
Hey listen, I dont like very many things about her stances, but for 44, she is looking damn good. She does not hurt the eyes

I dont like anything being taken out of context.... I like facts. Though media leans liberal, and michael moore is a disgrace, and is the start of all the BS with Fahrenheit 911, and bowling for columbine. All BS, with him twisting facts and calling it a documentary.

Actually, you are right. I don't ever take things out of context. Nothing bothers me more. I would only be lying to myself if I did that.
 
Another bonus is that no matter what, anyone debating against a beautiful woman is going to be seen as a jackass. That's just how it is ;)

Yet nobody questions Biden because we all know he represents a LARGE state. Oh, its smaller than Alaska in every way. Doh.

How many VP's have really had an real imapct except for your boy Spiro Agnew and we all know what his impact was.
Click to expand...
Depends on what you would consider a real impact.

For me, I feel better with the possibility of Joe Biden who has 36 years of foreign policy experience carrying the RED I-phone in the event of a tragedy than I would Ms Palin. On this board, that's just me and I'm fine with that
Click to expand...

So let me get this straight...the VP selection doesn't have enough experience...yet the Presidential selection for the Dems has less but you're ok with that?

Is this Democratic logic at work again? :D

I think I got it. The experience of the VP is more important than President. :lol:

Obviously most of you have already drank the Kool-Aid.

As the above statement shows, the Kool Aid has been stolen by the DNC.

Have fun choking on it in November, McCain could have picked a statue to be his running mate and most of you would be talking about how great it's posture was on every topic. That being said, let the games begin.

Yep. Appeal to moderate woman and energize (while shoring up) up the base. I would say for a VP pick, that's a slam dunk.

Also with the pick, it overshadowed some speech someone gave yesterday... :lol:
 
The conversation probably went something like this:

Obama: "Joseph, you son of a *****!, get over here! - Now...now you son of a *****!...I want YOU!!. I want YOU!"

Biden: "I told you you son of a *****! I told you I didn't want the VP."

Obama: "But I just asked you so you haev to do it. What? What?, you're going to say no to the black man running? lol? Lol?"

Biden: " you son of a *****, of course I will do it. I don't want to. But I will. I'll probably suck, but I'll do it cause I like you."

moderate women? really? there is nothing remotely moderate about Palin.

Gay marriage? nope thats not it

Hmm...abortion. Moderates are split down the middle except in the midwest where you generally have a more anti-abortion stance.

Gay Marriage? Moderates generally oppose the formal union (but are fine with civil unions). Actually, the American public poll more towards conservatives on that issue.

Creationism? Yes, that controversial topic that will most likely make or break a candidate when it comes to your 30-50 old mother. And the older women? We all know how opposed they are to creationism :lol:

It was those same moderate woman that help elect Bush/Cheney in 2000 and 2004. We know just how moderate they were as well.


See, the beauty of moderates is that you don't need to be one to get the vote :)

Care to try again? :lol: ;)

While you are right about Bush/Cheney, Palin's stance is not moderate, and most women (if they do the research on her) will not bvote for her, especially based on the abortion issue. She is against abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

Regarding gay marriage, some will like her till they find out about her stance on domestic partnership. She wont win any moderate fans there

In terms of creationism, you seem to enjoy speaking in generalities. She wont be able to get much in the way of true moderate votes. The thing McCain needed most was a way to win the indy votes, and she does not do that for him at all.
 
Here's my issue:

McCain has had 4 bouts with cancer. God forbid, what would happen to this country if she became president?

that is a viable concern.

Her pick is either going to be a huge plus or a huge minus. I doubt there is middle ground here, and as always the repubs are thrilled and the dems laugh at it. Whooda thunk it? It iwll come down to us Indy's yet again
 
This was a brilliant tactical move for McCain, the first that I have seen from him. It is funny watching folks squirm about this.

It is also amusing to see the Obama camp attack Palin on her lack of experience. Palin has infinitely more executive experience than Obama, as she has approximately two years of it and he has.............0.

The underlying issue that is bothering the dems so much is that they know that many women are now going to vote for McCain simply because Palin is a woman. I also find this very amusing as 90% of the black people in this country are voting for Barak simply because he is black.

I predicted in a different thread that McCain would probably beat Obama, even though McCain is a terrible candidate, and that his VP choice would have a lot to do with this. I still stand by it, and reiterate that the fact that Palin is going to be the factor that pushes McCain over the edge just proves how terrible a candidate Obama is.

That sound you hear is the sound of the DNC kicking itself in the a$$ for backing the wrong horse.

Obama, you have been owned :FUfinger:

I hope you're right, but I still don't believe that the Republicans have this locked up by any means. I'm really just banking on the hope that a lot of the ignorant people strolling around in Obama's Rock Star tshirts don't even make it to the polls.

The sound you're hearing is your wet brain sloshing around from your lack of objectivity. Yes, black people are thrilled that there is a black candidate however, contrary to your narrow minded statement, a lot of us do have brains and are not blindly following but have made a very conscious choice along with quite a large number of folks who felt totally abandoned and left out by the last 8 years of nonsense.

Independent Women also have brains and will make their decision based on the facts and discussions that emerge over the next 8-10 weeks NOT just because McCain picked a woman who believes that God just snapped his fingers and Adam and Eve materialized.

If man is made in God's image and we experiment, don't you think he or she experimented as well. Believe what you wish but there's no denying that there is millions of years of evidence that factually supports our evolution. Barack Obama is hardly owned:duel:

by all means you are entitled to your opinion, but if you look at recent polls in states that are typically red, it is awfully too close for comfort, and as well many swing states (Pa, Oh, Fla) either have Obama leading or almost dead heat. Obama being owned, not likely.

Now, yes it is way too early to have a true bearing on where this is going, but I think Mccain will be his own worst enemy here, and unless there is a "new terror alert" like there was in 2004, I think Obama wins and does so handily.

If what you are saying about yourself and why you have decided to pick Obama is true, then you are far more politically advanced than many of your peers.

Why do you think that elections are packaged the way that they are? Much like you are advertised by companies all day long in an effort to get them to buy their products, you are being manipulated into voting one way or another. Politics = marketing, it is that simple.

The vast majority of people in America put more objective thought into picking the next American idol than they do in the Presidential race. Many people who are voting for Obama are voting for him for a few reasons:

he is black, and they (the voter) are black, or want to be hip and prove how progressive and non-racist they are, or they suffer from white guilt

or

because the media told them to

Only the smallest minority of folks who are voting for Obama are doing so because of his positions on the issues. If you are one of them than I congratulate you on not being a sheep, and for being a responsible citizen.

Unfortunately my point still stands, and just like people are going to mindlessly vote for Obama, many others are going to blindly vote for McCain simply because he picked a good running mate.

This is all a big game, and McCain just made what could prove to be the winning move.

There is no doubt that this election will be a squeaker, I have said this all along. The reason being is that Obama and McCain are both very unnatractive candidates for a variety of reasons. Obama picked a douchebag for a running mate, and McCain picked a winner, this is very significant in this race as things up until now have been very close.

If Hillary had been runing against McCain all of this time she would be spanking him about right now, and McCain's pick for vp wouldn't matter because Hil's vp would be Obama.

Not only did McCain pick the best possible running mate, and Obama picked a nobody, but McCain sucked all of the air out of the room and seriously damaged the potentialy post convention momentum Obama would have had.

Again this was just a brilliant campaign move.

I as well as a lot of my peers have quite a few years and have gone through quite a few elections so, it's not the 1st time around the block.

While there's not much we agree on, we can agree on that. Just curious, what makes Joe Biden a douchebag in your opinion

Oh, and watch what happens to the price of oil with Gustav positioned to shut down a plethora of offshore rigs and refineries. The price of gas is going to go through the roof and remain elevated for quite a while. This could prove to be rough on Democrats and their anti-drilling agenda. It also would be hard on McCain, because he is....wait....oh that is right Governor Palin is all about drilling for oil! She even sued the feds to drill for Alaskin oil

Buahahahahahahaha

Pure genius.

the odds are this is a squeaker, and yes both are not the candidates that their parties wanted. However, where I think you are confused is that Palin is a good choice and Biden is not. I think you have it reversed. Biden offers a great deal to a ticket and compliments the many weaknesses that Obama most certainly has. Where as Palin, does not compliment anything except for age. While she has some executive experience, she has no national experience and her executive experience is in a state of 600,000 and some elk. She will appeal to the ultra conservative religious right, which was something that Mccain always prided himself on being opposite from. It proves he is desperate more than anything.

However, look at the polls now, and many typical red states are in question, not good for McCain/Palin

keep 1 thing in mind, if the dems are smart (yes a big friggin if, as we found out in 2004) there are countless experts that will tell you that all this new drilling will do nothing to the supply for at least 15 years, thus doing nothing to the price of oil. Also, a bit of focus on new energy sources would suit the dems well. However, we are working under the assumption they wont pull a 2004, when they could have run a steak against that dingbat Bush and won.

There is one huge difference between 2004 and 2008, Obama is a much more likeable candidate for dems to rally around than John Kerry. He also has an attack dog in Biden, which is a role Edwards did not play well in. Additionally and quite sadly, Bush was more in line with what the traditional party wanted in 2004 than McCain is in 2008
