McCain-Palin 2008

As suggested by Ruth Anne; this is a revised version of the earlier submission.

ADDED: Since Palin was selected, interest in this video has increased a great deal. Please note that comments will be held to the same standards as if it were posted at Stubborn Facts (see http://stubbornfacts.us/about). Comments critical of Palin or the video are just as welcome as comments approving thereof. Comments that are rude, abusive, etc. are not.

what is the name of the song playing?

[acolyteofscalia]

@MrLynxCat It's a cover of the main theme to "Escape from New York" by John Carpenter that I recorded for the video.

Difference between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney? LIPSTICK!

[acolyteofscalia]

I'm sure you think that that's an insult, but it isn't clear to me that it is! Besides, I thought the left's talking point against Palin was that she was an outsider who lacked experience, whereas Cheney was an insider who was picked precisely for the heft of past experience. C'mon, keep your stories straight! ;)

Obama beat the Clintons. Something Republicans have never done. And he never raised his voice while he did it.

How's that for experience?

[acolyteofscalia]

MistyBlue - as preparation for the Presidency? Worthless. In general, it's somewhat impressive; but he did it, we should recall, by doing his darndest to remain a blank canvas onto which supporters of many different hues projected their own views, and I for one find that a very dishonorable attitude. To paraphrase William Rehnquist, one should decide what one believes and pursue it diligently. One should also be honest about what those beliefs are and open about how they will be pursued.

MCCAIN 08'

[yossarian9]

New press:

"McCain claims his running mate hasn't sought earmarks, presenting her as a fiscal conservative. But state records show Palin has asked U.S. taxpayers to fund $453 million in Alaska projects over the past two years."

- Wall Street Journal, 9/15/2008

(I can't wait for conservatives to try arguing that the Rupert Murdoch-owned WSJ is just showing "liberal bias".)

While, Palin may believe some of the things you have listed, the thing that I like most about her is that she does not use the law to push her beliefs on others. She said that government shouldn't interfere and that schools should choose whether or not to teach creationism. Also, as governor of Alaska, she vetoed a measure that would have prevented the partners of gay and lesbian state workers from getting state medical insurance benefits. She stated that the measure was unconstitutional.

[tonygillis2007]

I agree. Unlike some of these people who have lived life as if it were one big resume for politics (Kerry comes to mind), Sarah Palin is REAL. Sure, the Ivy League trust fund liberals, and the much larger group of wannabes, in the Democratic party will sneer at her and her family, but most people won't. Have at it, limo libs, you will only end up looking like the arrogant snobs you really are!

This is the type of person we need, someone who recalculates the numbers.

The only chage we are going to see is the change in our pockets if Obama becomes president! McCain/Palin 08
