Obama & Obiden, two self-serving democRat saboteurs unqualified to lead...

• DemocRat Barack Obama, Jul. 2007: "My assessment is that the surge has not worked."

• DemocRat Joe Biden, Sep. 2007: "We should stop the surge and start bringing our troops home...[When asked whether Iraq closer to political reconciliation than before the surge began, and would continuing the operation stop the killing between Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds?]...The answer to both those questions is no."

• DemocRat Barack Obama, Oct. 2007: "[The surge is a] complete failure... Iraq’s leaders are not reconciling. They are not achieving political benchmarks."

• DemocRat Joe Biden, Nov. 2007: "This whole notion that the surge is working is fantasy."

• DemocRat Joe Biden, Apr. 2008: "The purpose of the surge was to bring violence in Iraq down so that its leaders could come together politically. Violence has come down, but the Iraqis have not come together... We DemocRats understand that this war must end..."

Wait a minute - I thought experience was sooooo important. Why would a candidate of 72 who has had cancer choose a running mate that is 44 years old and has two years experience as governor of a very very small (population) state? I guess all that "experience" crap was just that - political crap. In fact that's all this pick is - trying to get all the Hillary fems. It's total BS.

This election should focus on content of character. And at this point in time Obama's content of character amounts to what his elite euro-socialist contributors desire.
It all started going downhill for Obama when he could not stand up as a man and remove himself and his family from the presence of his preacher and mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a man who habitually butt-spewed anti-American racist filth over his entire church congregation.
Obama had 20 years to stand up and leave such a demented environment but only when Rev. Wright became a liability for Obama's bid for president did Barack Obama separate himself...That's 20 years too late, that's self-serving and that's not a man fit to be president.
President GW Bush stood as a man and confronted alcohol that was destroying him and his family. John McCain stood as a man and confronted war and captivity. Obama never stood for anything and that's why he’s content to lay The United States Of America at the feet of his euro-socialist contributors and their ideology.
Once again Barack Obama’s demons are holding him down, he does not possess the integrity to fight back; integrity comes from the one’s soul not from Harvard, Barry.
The United States of America fought wars even on its own soil to defeat the demented racist anti-American sentiments of those along the lines of Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers and Father Phleger. If left up to people like Obama who could not and would not stand there would be no United States Of America.
Electing someone president who could not and would not politely stand up as a man and confront Rev. Jeremiah Wright simply by removing himself and his family from such obvious filth is as silly as it sounds.
Allowing a community organizer and junior senator with no military experience whatsoever and who voted against the mission the in Iraq and later voted against the surge to be placed in charge of The United States Military in Iraq and Afghanistan is also as silly as it sounds.

I find it very amusing that the same Rep who comment limitlessly on Barack topics has nothing to say now. Wow..but what I find even more amusing is this choice he made as a VP...we all can see through his reasons. But wasn't he and so many Rep the one saying when Hillary was running that a woman could not lead this country? Wasn't he and so many Rep also saying that Barack was too inexperienced to lead this country? So now he has been enlightened? We see through this...

And I will find it even more enjoyable when I see the Reps now flip-flop and change their views given his decision. My oh my..

McCain is lost. He has no plan for winning the war in Iraq except staying there indefinitely.
He has no plan for the economy except saying that the econmy is alright while we are losing our houses and cars. He has no plan for salvaging a nation in ruin except conniving with big oil producers.
Picking the Alaska governor is just nothing but playing the gender card to woo women voters then later run away from them once he gets what he wants.

I hope she has no skeletons in her closet - no funny middle names, no mixed blood colors, wears a lapel pins, wraps herself in the flag and all the other useless garbage thrown at the smarter more intelligent candidate.

Ooops - of course the regurgitants won't be bringing up that kind of garbage on their own vp.

The good news is she won't look like anyone on the dollar bills!

In keeping with the Corrupt Bush/Cheney Administration.
He picks a VP candidate that is under investigation in her own state for Nepotism and Abuse of power.
Good job in keeping the nod right in line with
The Cheney values we have had for 8 years!
NEPOTISM AND ABUSE OF POWER!

BUT SHE HAS NO EXPERIENCE! Oh wait, I meant he has no experience. As in Obama. Obama has no experience. I think sex will trump race in this election. Palin is all woman, but Barry is only half-white.

Les Moore loses. He can't stand it. Don't worry Les. Maybe the demoncrats will select a lump of putty to run in 2012. A lump of putty will do much better than Obama, Kerry, and Gore put together. When will you idiots learn that America hates elitist bastards!

I guess the experience issue's the right was harping on has gone out the window.

Now, if elected, McCain who would be the oldest President elected, has decided his replacement to run the country would be a person younger than Obama, who's was just Mayor of a small town in Alaska before becoming Governor.

I don't think any Repubs on this board would have been able to call her name if asked who she was.

John in poopoolad, isn't that wonderful that Obama did not vote to go into Iraq and now he wants a timetable to get our soldiers out.

Something the Bush administration has now agreed upon.

That kind of wisdom is always preferable when the president answers that 3 am phone call.

Don't know about you folks, but I like the idea of taxcuts for 95% of Americans better than the windfall/record level tax breaks for the wealthiest of Americans only. How about the rest of you?

McCain only made this pick in order to get the votes of women, especially those women disenfranchised with Hillary for not getting the Democratic nomination and feel that she was somehow screwed over.

The question is will women vote for the McCain-Palin ticked just becuase Palin is a women? We for sure don't know much of anything about this Governor of Alaska.

On the other hand I've seen many criticisms of Blacks voting for Barrack simply based on race but I hear nothing of women who will vote for another woman just because they share the same gender. I don't know about you guys but it appears to be a double standard to me.

Oh, by the way Palin comes with some controversy. Take a look for yourself.
