I guarantee this is a snowball just starting down the hill. Half the base finds McLame repugnant, yearning for the new face, the real conservative, the Reagan clone. Jindal has this cachet. Palin, well, nobody knew of her. But today, she's it in every way. If she avoids the land mines and has brains equal to 2/3rds of her looks, she will run this party for 20 years.

It is impossible for leftist to understand the void that conservative have felt since we lost Reagan and Newt. Palin and Jindal could grab the lead and never give it up.

Maybe comparable to the fall of the Soviet Empire for them?

But remember kids, it's the leftists who have all these touchy-feel, deranged personality cults. The herculean men on the right would never let themselves have emotional attachments to mere politicians. But uhh, also, if you're not in the cult, you won't understand the unfathomable void that the absence of these Glorious Ones leave in the hearts of conservatives. You just don't understand what that kind of void can feel like. Touching, really.

just pointing out the sort of personal character in mccain and his choices of who he has closest to him in his life. i mean, she was also an adulteress, and he left his first wife after she suffered a terrible accident despite the fact she waited for him while he was a POW.

im sorry for thinking that cindy mccain being a lying, drug-stealing addict is not interesting. surely the 'moral right' would never bring it up if michelle obama was a former crackhead thief i suppose?

sorry for stating facts that indicate the type of person cindy mccain is. very unreasonable

edit* also sorry for pointing out that the mccain campaign has no respect for multiple artists intellectual property and are continually using their work without permission in their campaign.

As a conservative who was on the fence about McCain, let me weigh in here...

Palin has fired up the GOP base...at the grassroots level. I'm now fully supporting McCain. If he had picked Leiberman, Ridge, Romney, or even Pawlenty...I probably sit out this election.

Even conservatives who really dislike McCain...like Mark Levin...are supporting McCain-Palin. Levin harshly criticized McCain on all his left-leaning jackassery during the primaries.

I don't know if Palin will peel off any Hillary supporters. Don't care really. All I know is that picking Palin has galvanized the base behind McCain.

How does the McCain-Palin ticket stack up against Obama-Biden?

Seems like we own the experience and reform narrative.

Obama attacks Palin's experience thereby lowering himself to the VP level.

And Obama's never taken on the liberal establishment in any way. Did he ever try to clean up Chicago politics? No. Has he ever broken with Democratic Leadership in the Senate? No. And Biden is just an old dinosaur who has followed liberal orthodoxy down the line for 35 years.

not saying this is 100% true, but your ignorance and complete disregard for everything is laughable.

I may be wrong, but does the campaign even NEED permission? I'm 99% sure they can play whatever music they want without the artist's permission if they've purchased the music legally...

Liberal establishment? What make you think Liberals want him to go against his base? Not everyone is a conservative you know.

Rove is the one that said a democratic choice of 3x here experience was laughable. Obama hasn't attacked her.

Palin never showed any signs of pregnancy.
There are videos of Palin supposedly 7 months pregnant looking slim and running around in high heels all day.
Palin returned to work after giving birth to a child with Downs Syndrome 4 days later?
Palin's daughter was absent from school for more then half the school year during the end of Palin's supposed pregnancy.
Palin's daughter has a noticable bump in 2 pictures take during Palin's supposed pregnancy while Palin shows none.
Who holds the child in public? The father? No, its The Daughter.

You don't think any of this is odd?

First of all, the entire body of evidence provided in that article is nothing more than hearsay and pictures of the woman when she was 6 months pregnant (honestly, you can't possibly tell if she is showing or not in any of those pictures). There isn't a shred of credible evidence anywhere in that article. It's going to backfire so hard on people who continually spout this drivel.

I could actually care less, as what she may have done doesn't offend me, but if I had to point to the one that looked preggo in this photo I know who I would be choosing.

Insinuating that the fractional increase of troops misnamed the "surge" has made the occupation of Iraq a success is highly delusional. From worse to bad does not equal good.

Maverick morphs to desperado.

to barretboy re: baby:
not really. i mean, for reasons 4high stated it makes sense for some people to at least investigate the situation. its not like joe biden is gonna go "your downs baby is really your grandbaby!". i mean i personally dont think it is the case from what i have read/seen so far, but i dont mind people looking into it.
08-31-2008 , 11:19 AM
i didnt say i believe it, i agree the pics dont show anything, and it likely will backfire.

the wing nut wanted a link, so i provided one.

Whats great is the reaction this radical extremist is getting. Everyone outside of the far right wing is pretty much repulsed. Multiple news stations have done man on the street segments, and asked questions to both men and women. At first they are like, oh, a lady, thats nice.

when the reporter starts rattling off her extremist positions the faces these people make are hilarious.

i fixed the URL

you are clearly an "expert" on all things GOP related so I guess I'll take your word that this couldn't possibly be true!

say bye bye to all that money you so cavalierly bet in the prediction markets if there is a grain of truth to it though
