McCain picks V.P!

[roamingsarcophagus]

all these guys are fags

[roamingsarcophagus]

I agree, its a rathe smart choice.

[yervan007]

McCain's going to fight for YOUR future. To make sure you have NO future.

Thanks McGramps. What would we do without you?

[Texaslocoman]

The USA will never vote for a mormom or any non christian person

[Pacdisciple]

Can someone please answer for me: "What is it exactly that the VP does everyday?"

[blazak]

I can't believe this "chairwoman of the oil-gas commission" could be a heartbeat away from the presidency (which is a good chance with McLame). Just another reason to vote Obama.

BTW, did you see McCain staring at Sarah's ass today? Give the old coot some credit. Cindy must be worried.

[karawilliams44]

Senile old fool trying to pull in the Hillary votes. It's sure to backfire on him. Bring on Obama!!!

[titian777]

soccer moms to run the country

[diydummy]

McCain must think it's April 1st. What a stupid choice. Consider this fair warning if he gets elected. And you thought the last 8 years were bad.

[photomaster2007]

Has John Mc Cain has lost his mind for crying out loud. Shes the Governor of Alaska. nice lady but president, come on. Is she ready on day one to answer that 3 am phone call? NO! let just agree that this was not a great pick. on a scale 1-10 ten beening the best how would you rate her .

[Rabidraider]

21 months actually

[bittergunowner12]

In Pallin's short tenure as governor shes battled big oil, achieved Ethics reform, and reduced government waste, who cares about her foreign policy experience most governors don't have any anyway.

[superawesomepowerran]

ok, that sounded rough but honestly she was governor of Alaska, ALASKA FORGODS SAKES, and for only 2 years.

[superawesomepowerran]

McCain has had cancer 4 times ans he's 71.

If McCain is elected and dies of cancer/etc.

WE'RE ALL FUCKED IN THE ASS!

SERIOUSLY THIS WOMAN WAS A GOVERNOR OF ALASKA FOR 2 FUCKING YEARS!

SHE'SSO FUCKING INEXPERIANCED!

WTF MCCAIN? WTF WERE YOU THINKING?

[Kriegbell]

I think McCain just mavericked himself into a defeat. Pandering for hillary voters with the ultimate conservative woman! Geez, maybe the dems are correct in saying McCain IS too Senile to be president.

[JohnR22926]

cracko: Fantastic vid. A great breakdown of all the possibilities. But I'm disappointed you didn't make a prediction at the end.

My prediction was KB Hutchison with Palin second. And I only picked Hutchison because she had national name recognition and plenty of experience.

[garvaggio]

LOL this is ridiculous

it is official now

the elderly dude has lost it

[JohnR22926]

garv: Are you kidding? The only shot MC had at winning was to pick a female:

-solidifies his maverick image and allows him to sell a message of "safe change" vs BO's "inexperienced change".

-makes a solid bid for the biggest group of swing voters; white women over 30.

-shores up his base. They LOVE this woman.

The down side is inexperience, but how can the Dems even mentinon this with BO at the top of their ticket?

[MrEARSking]

sarah wins,lol

[nukeforfun]

Palin not only has more executive experience than obama...she could also beat him in basketball

[spiderj19]

Mccains whole point of his candidacy has been experience. You need someone who will get the Job done. Then he picks someone with less experience than Obama..lol I guess he thinks Hillary women are dumb enough to vote only based on gender. And not on issues. Nice try John but you may wanna tell Palin to go to iraq since she has not been there if u gonna try to sell her as READY to be commander in chief. Bad Judgement she is not ready Buddy been a govenor less than two years..lol

[tr1980ey]

Everyone is too afraid to address the real issue here of why Barack Obama can't be elected president. The fact is he is black, and black people smell like wet dog.

[ChubbyCheckerChannel]

Congratulations to Sarah Palin our next Vice President of the United States of America!

[turricanes13]

LMAO!!!

McBush is using another woman to get ahead. What if something happens to McBush palin only have one year of experience as governor and that it......

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

[hokie423]

she has more experience than obama who is running for president you idiot

[turricanes13]

Wow she was the mayor of a small town that has 6500 people... wow that is experience, lol!

[o4mcal]

This woman doesnt have to talk about change like the fake salesman Obama who has not done any thing for real change in American politics, Palin made changes at an early age. Obama is such a fake at first he's against insider Washington and picks VP thats been there for 30 years. Real change is thousands of miles away from Washington who put corrupt the likes of Obama and his fiasco Raszko friend in jail. McCain Palin vs Obama Osama Biden Binladen? Who to choose hmmm? McCain got my vote.

[bfum]

She will cry before the first 2 months to try and be Hillary. She AINT Hillary! She aint got HillRaiser Ballz!

[roamingsarcophagus]

Can you imagine an American indian as President??

He'd probably drink himself to death in the first year.All that access to free liquor mutherfucker would be like a kid in a candystore with credit card.

We'd have those stupid orca whale designs on every goddamn common house hold product.Can you imagine that?You know the Inuit would be all like declaring way on the seal and polar bear populations you think their dying fast now, just wait till SittingBull is in the white house.

Be a nightmare!

[Rationalific]

@roaming: Your racial superiority is impressive! God knows, we need more mean-spirited pricks like you in this great country of ours!

[roamingsarcophagus]

God can you believe that McCain actually contemplated picking that pakistani retard who looks like a 12 year old.Here's a fuckin senario for ya McCain dies and that pretend conservative pretend christian I eat my food with the same hand I wipe my ass with pakistani becomes President. If the thought of that doesn't make you break out into a cold sweat you need your fuckin head examined. I'd rather have Jerry Siefeld as President. Atleast he'd be funny.

He might aswell pick an American indian.

[MamaPapaBrooks]

If romney ever wants a chance at presidency in his life he will not except the VP nomination from McCain.

[ho2cultcha]

they all suck, but mccain sucks even more. anyone who would even consider voting for him should have their head checked... preferably at the door... before entering the voting booth.

[CrackrocKid]

Are you suggesting that the government ought to "weed" out "undesirables" through psychiatric "evaluation?"

They tried that in Germany a few years back; it didn't fly:) CRK

[AnonymousBChurch]

Giuliani? HELL NO.

[AnonymousBChurch]

Romney is more Liberal than Barney Frank.

[tegalans]

McCain is pandering to the left and disenfranchising us conservatives. If Huckabee or Jindal is not picked as V.P. I, for one, will vote Bob Barr. I feel 4 years of Obama will open everyone's eyes to what the liberals are doing to this country. If semi-liberal McCain wins then the Republican party will continue to shift left. Huckabee 0r Jindal will secure conservatives and hopefully start a movement back to the right.

[CrackrocKid]

Thanking for watching and commenting. I was unaware the Jindal was so conservative, very interesting. CRK

[tegalans]

I like his ethics reforms and the fact that he vetoed the legislatives pay raise bill. He seems deeply concerned on our right to bear arms. I like his tough child molestation laws. He gave Louisiana the biggest tax cut in 20 years. So far I haven't seen or heard anything that can be taken as liberal.

[CrackrocKid]

I agree, sounds conservative to me, CRK

[JohnR22926]

tegalans: IMO the Rep party needs to move to the Center iot be viable in the future. Look at the projected demographic trends. By 2050, the Hispanic population will explode, and white males will significantly decrease as a % of the electorate.

To be viable, Reps MUST expand their base. IMO the only options are to attract more white females and to get the Hispanic vote which the Reps can do if they shift on some positions.

[tegalans]

While the Republican party may shift to the center it will be a lot harder for it's voters. I for one am sick of having my beliefs destroyed in the name of progress. I am tired of backing down; I have drawn a line in the sand. I will stand my ground. I believe that the best solution for the Republican Party and for people like me is education. We need to get out their and remind people of these policies of the left and how they will destroy our nation.

[susantamm]

Re education: sixth line down, it's 'there' not 'their'. So what is destroying the nation? Have you read the financial news lately? Hmmm?

[tegalans]

I don't see the big deal about a typo. If you are trying to infer that I need more education for a simple mistake, then you are surly wrong. Financial news...Yes. Do you understand what is the cause of the current economic trouble? It has to do with Government interference in the market. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and Clinton's revision of the act forced lenders to give loans to high-risk borrowers in the name of equality.

[susantamm]

I have promised myself NOT to respond to these things but you are at least civil and don't call me filthy names as your other co-rightists are wont to do. It is not logical that a law passed 31 years ago would suddenly affect us now. It really isn't. It's a fantasy, I'm sorry. The economy is failing because the federal government which INSURES all that money by the way, did not provide any oversight at all and the smarty pants on Wall Street developed unsound schemes to get RICK quick.

[tegalans]

While that law was under Carter; Clinton revised it substantially. I believe oversight is the problem. The Federal Reserve is the reason why our dollar is in the tank. Many people believe that the Great Depression was a result of no oversight, but it was the complete opposite. After Woodrow Wilson enacted the Federal Reserve he later apologized by saying he gave up Americas freedom. America is not a true capitalistic country. Government is the problem; why would we want more interference then.

[susantamm]

I really disagree with you. You are concerned about values. Do you realize that corporations are essentially amoral - that their only allegiance is to the bottom line? They are in a sense the asocial part of society. Capitalism without oversight is like a room full of toddlers with opened gallons of red paint in a white room with no teacher. It's stupid. In the end, the tax payer bails them out as it is doing right now with Fannie and Freddie.

[tegalans]

Fannie, Freddie,and Indie were created by acts of congress. They are government entities. I do not believe that we the taxpayers should bail them out. While the government did forced them to do business with high-risk borrowers, they still failed by their own stupidity. The only government interference should be anti-trust laws and safety. Who gave the children the paint? I believe that it was the Government.

[susantamm]

Fannie and Freddie were privatized. They are no longer government entities. Nor are they Paris Hilton's yorkies. We had to bail them out because the failure of F&F would have signaled to the rest of the world that the US is unsafe for investment. So, if you think the dollar is low now - think about the peso. Hence, they had to be helped - NOT because they deserved it but to prevent 1929 redux. Now a little oversight could have eliminated the bail-out.

[tegalans]

While you are right about the current path of action in order to fix the Governments mistakes. They created the companies, forced them to do unreasonable business, and is now keeping them afloat. I believe that we should allow these companies to fail so we can be allowed to return to a market unaffected by Government stupidity. If we continue down this path with more government than the future is a lot more bleak. I would rather take a short depression than decades of recession.

[susantamm]

How do you know the depression would be short? As I see it, we have produced an inordinate number of MBAs in this country. Out they go into the financial world, highly competitive and say to themselves - 'How do I make money?' Then they come up with the ponzi scheme mortgage thing and sell the mortgages as AAA securities to the rest of the financial world - China, Germany, Britain and without responsibility retire to the Cayman Islands.

[tegalans]

The biggest thing that separates the left from the right(the real right not the Republicans)is the belief on wither the Government is the answer to our problems. Currently only the Government can stop the decline of the dollar but they created the Federal Reserve. You see that markets failed by no oversight, I see the Government meddling in those markets to begin with. There are two directions to every path. Government is the answer if we continue the way we are currently heading.

[susantamm]

If you want the money, invade the Cayman Islands, round up the guys on the beach drinking some fancy drink with an umbrella and take the money back. When the international community lost BILLIONS, they lost confidence in the American economy and the dollar fell.

[tegalans]

Basically you're saying that the Financial sector is doing what Enron did. I do believe that there are some people who are willing to destroy their companies to make a quick buck, I do not believe that is the case here. If we do have something similar to a depression or even a recession, it will not be short because of governmental interference. The Government will enact a New Deal style Policy and drag the economy through the mud. It would fix itself faster without government interference.

[susantamm]

I'm not convinced. How about that humungous deficit? Bracing. I do think some corporations are ethical but the mortgage scheme was anything but.  As these variable rate mortgages 'mature' to variability after 5 years, we are losing billion on the mortgages contracted in 2003. So what about the ones purchased in 2004? They will become variable in 2009 and so on. So the govt trying to renegotiate those mortgages is important. It should prevent the loss of many billions more next year.

[tegalans]

The Federal Reserve and the government are responsible for deflating the value of the dollar. In order to stop a recession the government must spend more than it taxes. That means it has to print more money and that causes inflation. Everything that the Government does is a quick fix, that creating another bubble. It would be a lot easier to lick our wounds now than in the future.The Federal Reserve will eventually reach interest rates of 0%. If the Fed can not lower rates what then?

[susantamm]

I agree that printing money is stupid. But then look at the President and his band of thieves. There have to be safe-guards in place to prevent such practices or we will be in post World War I Germany with wheelbarrels of money to buy bread. Basically, I'm tired of being a victim of greed - whether corporate or govt.

[tegalans]

I agree with you on that, the government has grown 60% in the last 8 years. I believe that if we continue to bail out companies that will add to the deficit, some people believe that it may reach 1 trillion dollars. The government can not take on this debt and survive. Those safe guards in place were not needed until after the Fed was created. Watch this video v=OS2fI2p9iVs and you'll understand what I'm saying about the need for less government.

[tegalans]

I believe that we can all agree that the Soviet Union was a failed nation and idea. Khrushchev said, "We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to

Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they

suddenly awake to find they have Communism." Welcome to America. I for one do not want to live here in 2050 if we continue down this path.

[JohnR22926]

tegalans: I'm sympathetic. But, I don't know where else to go. Certainly not socialistic Europe. They've got immigration problems almost as bad as ours, and their demographic trends/projections are even worse.

Maybe we could move to Canada. lol. They've got a ton of room up there and hardly any people.

[tegalans]

I don't intend to abandon my country. America is not yet a lost cause. Organize a political movement like no one has seen before. Have you ever heard of the silent majority? As I said before if we can educate people; perhaps we can wake America up. It's hard when our choices for Presidents are Liberal and semi-Liberal.

[USSLIBERTY1]

McCain's going to pick the Senator from Israel?

[CrackrocKid]

There is no Sewnator from Israel. Maybe you need to rewatch the video. CRK

[JohnR22926]

MC has little chance of winning the election and IMO must gamble on his VP choice. He MUST pick a female as this is the only demographic he might possibly impact w/his VP choice. Plenty of angry Hillary supporters and lots of swing voting women that might be moved by the first-ever female as VP.

Romney is the safest choice; piles of money, fully vetted, the base likes him, and puts Michigan in play.

[CrackrocKid]

I wasn't aware of ROmney's pull in Michigan, if that's the case then he's a lock.

BTW, women have been waiting a longtime to vote for a femakle president. They know that if Obama wins they gotta wait 8 years for the chance, if McCain wins, it's only 4.

CRK

[RevolutionOfCG]

Great video and analysis. Thanks.

I happen to think McCain picks Huckabee.

[CrackrocKid]

Thanks, I appreciate it, CRK

[Patriots4McCain]

Great vid. You left out Carly Fiorina though.

At the end there I almost thought you were going to say Ron Paul.

[CrackrocKid]

Thank you, I appreciate it. I know that Fiorina is & will remain a major part of the campaign, but I just couldn't see a non-politician getting the tap. CRK

[chrisand111]

Nope, "CASH" is not the main reason Romney is going to be chosen. Shallow commentary on your point.

You're overlooking Romney's Reaganesque qualities (perhaps because you don't understand it yet).

Romney has been acting Vice-Presidential for many weeks, doing interviews and stumping for McCain. It's all too obvious he's the pick.

Jindal is NOT popular as Romney

[CrackrocKid]

Thanks for watching and coommenting. However I never state that Jindal is more popular than Romney; I just don't. I state that Jindasl is popular, which he is.

You appear to admire Romney, cool. We can agree that he is the frontrunner for the nomination.

You believe that John McCain is interested in Romney because he (Romney) is "Reaganesque." You're right, I don't yet see that; but then again, I never saw it before Reagan and so no surprise that I havene't seen it since. CRK

[CrackrocKid]

And I undertsand how you see the emphises I put on Cash as as a shallow description. But really, I'm just being honest about the mechanics of all politics, not just Republican, MCCain or Romney politics. CRK

[whitymale]

he must pick the Jew terrorist Lieberman

[CrackrocKid]

Well if he must, then there's no more discussion, it's a wrap, he must! CRK

[omiolo]

As A Mormon, I hope McCain doesn't pick Romney and Romney doesn't accept the position.

I don't want Mormonism to be open season by the BIGOTS! I don't believe there should be a religious test for the office of VP!

[CrackrocKid]

Well I should tell you that Romney is investing some pretty serious cash into his quest to be VP. Be proud of your religion and those who represent it well. CRK

[omiolo]

"investing some pretty serious cash into his quest to be VP."

are you sure he isn't priming the pump for another Presidential bid. He appears to be doing what McCain and Reagon did. He is going around helping the Republican party and all their candidates get money.

I really think Crist is the guy McCain will pick!

[CrackrocKid]

Crist is pound-4-pound the best choice. But, Romney is throwing around tons of cash. His cash, not just what he raised. No disrespect to Gov. Romney; but politicians never spend their own money to buy friends; they use other people's money to do that.

Romney see's the writing on the wall, & so he wants on the ticket. Here's 2 Facts about men like Romney: 1. They can smell an opportunity and 2. They usually get what they want. In the end Mitt's 1/4 billion will top our 4 cents every time, CRK

[CrackrocKid]

Yes, my reply sounds subservient, & that sickens me.

So, let me say that in my opinion, Romney has been packaged like a Rep. John Edwards; hair and all. Like Edwards, Romney can't even deliver his own home State.

Romney is more sincere than Edwards (that's not saying much, but it needed to be said). Also, Mitt is gifted & has his own ideas; Edwards just reads a script. But, hubris is a guaranteed symptom of the talent Romney has been bestowed, & that scares me more than anything. CRK

[omiolo]

"Romney has been packaged like a Rep. John Edwards; hair and all."

I agree except Romney has the money that Edwards never had. Romney has the political connections that Edwards can never get.

BTW, I don't think Florida is a swing state unless Lieberman is on the Democratic ticket.

[CrackrocKid]

Crist is the popular Govenor of FLA, McCain has always lead Obama in FLA, so Lieberman isn't the only key that to pop that lock.

& Edwards is ultra-wealthy. He lives in that other America. CRK

[omiolo]

"Crist is pound-4-pound the best choice"

I disagree, I think Arnold S. is the best choice. He can counter the rock star image of Obama and is moderate! There might be some consitutional issues.

"No disrespect to Gov. Romney; but politicians never spend their own money to buy friends"

Every Billionaire politician has! Look what Forbes did! Coors even tried it.

"They usually get what they want. "

I agree, that is why I don't think he will be VP.

[CrackrocKid]

Perhaps those constitutional issues are why Arnie ain't on the list, but the bottomline is he ain't on the list.

Yes Billionare Politicians too, of course, because all politicians do that. There's a name for it: Politics, the Political or Campaign Industry. That's a fact.

I like the way you tied your orginal statement back into your last point, props, CRK

[JohnR22926]

omiolo: actually, that's a reason why he should accept VP if offered. The only way to overcome the bigotry is to meet it head-on. And no better way to do that, than to let the people see a mormon (Romney) 24/7. It's like the JFK/Catholic thing...once the people become more familiar with actual Mormons (not the negative stereotypes), the more they'll understand it's just another religion, and it's the "person" that matters, not the religion.

Mitt's only negative is that he's a panderer.

[omiolo]

JohnR229:

"The only way to overcome the bigotry is to meet it head-on."

that didn't work for the Catholics when they first had a presidential candidate in 1920. It took 40 years before they could get another one. If Romney takes the nomination I hope you are right.

I live in the south and would love to see BIGOTS have to choose between a Mormon and an African American for the Presidency. To me whoever wins is a victory for ANTIbigotry! I would love to see a woman in the mix too!

[meandmy45]

Mitt is the shit..

[allencrider]

He's got it. Plus, he acts like he isn't living in a rest home like McCain does.

[CrackrocKid]

Damn... Well, Romney knows the magic phrase: "How much do you need?" And that opens just about every door there is:) CRK
