John McCain is no longer the candidate.

This race is now:


Obama/Biden v Palin

Fertilla the Huntress does not need him.. She'll send Grandpa out there to do his little staged "town hall meetings", and she will go hang out with the "briefers"..

They will upload a catalog of "zingers" for her to use on Biden, and when she's had the History of the World of Geo-politics (Cliff notes version) spoon-fed to her, she will emerge...rested, unquestioned, and ready to snark her way across America, charming the men, and firing up the wimmin-folk.

McCain will be the tag-a-long.. He may be the one who brought her to the dance, but he's also now the one who will check her coat, get her punch, and then stand there and watch as she dances with everyone BUT him..

I hope this one night of glory, as he finally accepted the nomination,was worth it. They may have nominated HIM...but they chose HER ...He's just the vehicle...she's driving..

Way to go John.. You claim to be the maverick/the deal-broker, and if you manage to "win", you deliver the country you say you love so much, into the hands of the people you loathe the most..

If you lose, YOU get blamed for dragging poor little Sarah down..

...The base was ready to sit it out and she came along with the same ol' right wing crap to get them fired up.

because we KNOW what we have to deal with in a mccain.

After his lame arse speech I thought Palin/Mccain would be a better fit.

GIRL FIGHT!!! Cindy v Mrs Moose :rofl:

Cindy has put up with the "I'm gonna run for president" stuff for decades, and now he finally gets his chance..and some young chickie comes along and steals his thunder...and she's cuter than you are :rofl:

will be more interesting when they meet their Waterloo.

As someone more eloquent than I framed her: Tonya Harding with a speechwriter.

(that's OK, I have my typos all the time)

Only took me 4 edits to finally get them all..I hope :silly:

John McCain just sold what little was left of his soul to the Moosebugermeister and possibly put our country one step closer to ruin.

John McCain is not a 'hero' or a 'maverick'--- he's a TRAITOR!

Very soon.... her church went offline and is taking off vid's as we type, but she WILL be exposed.

Oooooops, McPOW has gone and done it this time - doh!

This is right up there with Dole picking Jack Kemp in 96!

I want her to be fading back into the background where she belongs.

Yeah, Dole/Kemp - both as boring as can be.

:)

and you have a good point too

:rofl:

:applause:

Last night Mr. H said he really believes McCain will be assassinated to put her in the Oval; someone else said McCain will have to get a food-taster; and today I read on DU about the theocrats and their "imprecatory prayers": God should only give him salvation and then kill him.

Here's what I wonder now: You know those card tricks where the dealer gets the mark to choose the card the dealer wants him to choose? What if McCain's oh-so-impulsive choice of Caribou Barbie was just the "choice" of a mark being manipulated by a card shark?

Hekate

I'm begging you, send her back to Alaska. It's not our fault she's doing this -- they didn't talk to anyone up here about her -- no Republicans, no Democrats, no Independents -- none of her enemies, none of her friends. Just send her back here, and we'll deal with her. She needs to finish the job she started here, the one she was hired to do for four years. Just send her back.

x( He didn't finish what he started in Texas either. Too eager to exploit the rest of America and he did. I imagine that Palin is chomping at the bit for her turn to ruin what's left of the Country. And here I didn't think the goppers could come up with any one worse than george. They've outdone themselves with this one.

and unfortunately when they win, we always lose big time..they lay low when they lose, and plot to come back with an even wackier plan.. that;s how we got george the lesser

First of all, great pics of Cheney and Evil Sexy, lol

Secondly, they already have their eye on 2012, win or lose this election. Mark my words, she is the Republican presidential candidate in 2012, and by then she will have 4 more years experience. We need to take her down so hard that she cannot recover. This is serious.

By Cheney choosing himself, he took away their chance at continuity, via a vice president. They had to roll the dice in '08, and were hoping that Macaca Allen, man-on-dog Santorum, Dr. Video Frist, or even the Jebster could slide in as the candidate. George did such a shitty job, that no one was eager to ever have to say the Bush name again, Allen & Santorum were booted out on their asses, and Dr.CatKiller preferred the big money in the private sector....which allowed a lackluster crew of candidates this year, and voila...that damned McCain guy ended up the winner.. a likely one-termer if he even won.

The power-brokers of the RNC were not willing to sit out the next 8 years, only to start over. They hand-picked Mrs. Moose to be their "lady-in-waiting" if McCain gets shot down yet again.

By introducing her in a coronation/beauty pageant, they could at least drum up enthusiasm galore...hopefully enough to last during an Obama administration, after which the "base" would be all fired up and ready to exact revenge, and Mrs. Moose would be a youngish 50-something, with some experience...and possibly become the first female president..

There would probably be no more "add-water & stir" instant pregnancies at that age, and republican legislators know how to disrupt and stall legislation, so they could easily make Obama's administration ineffective, setting the stage for a triumphant return.

Republicans are patient...and devious..and dangerous

were pushed as possible VP nominees. They are trying to move away from the old and rebuild for the future. I truly believe Palin while also on the list as a future bright star, was not their first pick. She was selected for one reason only, the female vote.

and Piyush may "play" in N'Awlins & Baton Rouge where multi-cultural is ho-hum, but he would never be acceptable in most republican strongholds.. Sarah is their Great White Hope..and 4 years of training will make her a formidable opponent in '12, UNLESS the National Enquirer manages to discredit and completely humiliate her, and she loses the next Alaskan election.

who will really be running the white house... ala bush? cheney? more of the same

meanwhile, I'm wondering when mccain's ego will get in the way and he attempts to take center stage?

The only thing I disagree with is saying that McCain is the vehicle, and Palin is driving. I think that she is the vehicle, that McCain hopes will taxi him to the White House.

is news for a brief period, then nobody cares much. I still suspect that she'll fall into the background some, but I dunno.

She was still out on the convention floor working the room long after McCain had exited.

CNN mentioned this this morning.

:)

Somebody more talented than me, that is...

PM me if you see one and I don't..:)

Palin is clearly the strongest part of the ticket; the Democrats need to keep dragging the weaker parts - their policies, and McCain - back into the limelite, and resisting the temptations either to attack Palin or to "play nice" with her - both of those will backfire, I think.

McCain vs. Obama... no contest.

... that they switch the ticket since Palin was announced as VP.

:eyes:

I have to tell this because there's a woman I know who is a Democrat who was saying last week that she was going to vote for Obama, but yesterday when I asked her if she saw Palin's speech she lit up like a sparkler and said "Yeah, wasn't SHE GREAT!!! I really like her." I couldn't believe my ears.

Today I was mentioning some of Fertilla's (I LOVE that one) er, discrepancies in her story versus the reality. I could tell that my female Democratic friend did not like hearing about them. This is crazy!!

The frickin' Repukes are geniuses at this type of shit. And, to be honest, I think that Obama's "high road" campaigning is going to cost him and us the Presidency. You cannot debate these people. You can only DEBUNK THEM. They are liars. Professional liars. There is no way to gently persuade Americans of McAnus and Fertilla's LYING, DECEITFUL WAYS. These lies must be confronted head-on and EXPOSED or they become imbedded in the public memory as FACT. Right now, Sarah Palin, in the eyes of too many Americans, is a patriotic, Christian, mother of five, loving wife and all-American woman who worked her way up the hard way. When in fact, she is not a patriot, she's a rabid fundamentalist Christian, a climate change denier, allegedly a multiple adulteress, a Big Oil and Coal shill, a vindictive politician who takes no prisoners, and a supporter of Alaskan separatists.

I am really worried about this because in the last two elections the Repukes have used their propaganda and disinformation skills to beat us. Or rather to keep the race so close that they could steal the election.

"close" , if it had been Mccain/Lieberman or Mccain/Romney..

She is his "hook", and little Trig is her "hook"..

The polls only need to "show" that :

1...the women are energized
2...the religious right LOVES this woman
3...she "captured" Hillary's voters
4...People LOVE her family


those are all "un-provables"..and all the repubes need is "close" in a few key states, and we've got '00 & '04 all over again..only worse this time, because we START OUT BROKE, and LOATHED by MOST OF THE WORLD..and in two wars..

at least GWB started out with "good times"..

We all know that polls can be set up to show whatever the pollster wants them to say, so be prepared for an onslaught of "we love sarah" polls.

just like the loony judges they present for supreme court.. their paper trail is mostly blank.. there has to be some "factory" somewhere that turns out these people with no
history"...trust us, you'll love 'em..they're pretty and they love jesus.. that's all you need to know about 'em "grr:
