Im sure she cant be selected if she has some serious dirt like that scandel so im sure that fades away. But how exactly do you meet the potential president of the country once should you be unable to continue in your duties. It doesnt seem to be a sound choice in that respect at least, which seems to be a bit more of a stinging criticism.

So yeah, the McCain ticket absolutely sounds like more of the same. Calls to mind the DOJ firings recently.

And if anyone is going to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket because she's pro-life, please tell me how the pro-life conservatives of the current administration have stopped abortion.

An email I got from defenders of the wildlife wrote:Shocking Choice by John McCain

WASHINGTON-- Senator John McCain just announced his choice for running mate: Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. To follow is a statement by Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

“Senator McCain’s choice for a running mate is beyond belief. By choosing Sarah Palin, McCain has clearly made a decision to continue the Bush legacy of destructive environmental policies.

“Sarah Palin, whose husband works for BP (formerly British Petroleum), has repeatedly put special interests first when it comes to the environment. In her scant two years as governor, she has lobbied aggressively to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, pushed for more drilling off of Alaska’s coasts, and put special interests above science. Ms. Palin has made it clear through her actions that she is unwilling to do even as much as the Bush administration to address the impacts of global warming. Her most recent effort has been to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, putting Big Oil before sound science. As unbelievable as this may sound, this actually puts her to the right of the Bush administration.

“This is Senator McCain’s first significant choice in building his executive team and it’s a bad one. It has to raise serious doubts in the minds of voters about John McCain’s commitment to conservation, to addressing the impacts of global warming and to ensuring our country ends its dependency on oil.”

indeed, the only problem is, we didnt know enough about her at the time to know we didnt know about her.

She does appear to be pretty consistently classically conservative from what ive seen thus far. Admittedly im sure it wont take long to know "everything" there is to know.

That whole shit about him being black and swaying votes really tells me America still hasn't accepted black properly (unless they're Oprah and hand out gifts to wealthy white people). Seriously, the care about black, woman, muslim or whatever shows how much your country still cares about those issues. Even when you say you don't care, it's still an issue.


f*ck you guys and your shitty ways.

I am glad that you are not an american then. voting for someone just because they are black is just as bad, IMHO, as voting for someone just because they are not black.

An old, established, white guy is about what you can expect if you pick a random politician in the USA, seriously, how many politicians fitting that description are there?

I want to be an old, established, white politician one day.
