Pulling people out of the ditc...
one issue voters, evangelicals, demo-haters, white sheet wearing racists, black racists, hate mongers, civil rights baiters...does it really matter what someone uses as their basis to vote for against a candidate Ron? Are you that egotistical to think that the American voters, much less anyone ehre on BOL, cares about appeasing you? what a joke you are...

...meanwhile, back ata the dorm rooms, Ron shows this post to his underage buddies, impressing them with his internet prowess to castigate others, they shotgun a beer, cheering "ron ron ron" throughout the day...and all is well, once again, in Ronland...

i'm not looking for appeasement, happy. i am looking to have mccain voters understand what they are doing (if they actually do believe some of the stuff that they post otherwise, it is to expose people like truf).

Thanks for the link, Ron. It was an interesting read, even from Yahoo.

I can't decide which one is catchier...."DemMcCrat" or "I'm a Bitter Gun Owner and I Vote!" Either way, the article points out a number of reasons the Dems have to be worrying about Palin's pick.

Edited to add: OMG! You didn't vote in the last election Ron! And you're chastising me for not declaring who I'm going to vote for because you're sure I've decided???!!

i wasn't "undecided". i decided that i wasn't going to vote.

you are right, the dems have to worry about one-issue voters. i've said this before.

Did you READ the article, Ron? How can you classify social conservatives as one-issue voters?

umm they weren't voting in the election and now, as if by magic (or ron's prophecy), they are energized. this is too easy, truf.

I didn't see anything saying they weren't voting. The article said that "...a lot of people thought (McCain) was going to show his more moderate colors." I read that to mean he might have chosen Liberman or someone else of his ilk.

Are you saying that these social conservatives were only affected by one issue...say, abortion...rather than the whole package including abortion, taking on big oil, gun control, and all the other items listed in the article you linked?

truf, if they weren't motivated and now, as if by magic (or prophecy ), they are "electrified"...come on, stop the charade.

As I just posted in the other thread, I finally get you, Ron. Voting for BO is a purely emotional thing for you. That's why it makes the notion of exchanging ideas through debate totally out of the realm of possibility with you. Maybe we can try again in 2012.

Likewise for the majority of republican and for conservative voters.

He picked a long-time Washington insider, but yet Obama is the agent for "change." Furthermore, he picked a man who received like 10,000 votes among the Dems, as opposed to Hillary who received close to 20,000,000. From s strictly Dem standpoint, you really think he made a sound choice?
(Not that I dislike Biden more than Hillary)

[quote]Now I was hoping McCain could get Powell as a running mate or a woman like Kay Baily Hutchinson or Elizabeth Dole. He didn't and now I am left at looking for the positives in his running mate. I can see she does have a lack of experience but since she would possibly be VP then I don't have as much problems. Am I jumping up and down with his choice no, but it is what I have left to work with. T


I leaned toward Hutchison, as you saw in many other posts. Apparently, McCain had sewn up enough of the non-base voters in the Repubs, and was comfortable with a certain number of independents, so it was time to show the conservtative base that they would be well-represented too. He could have done that with Romney, Pawlenty, in fact, even a few of the other Republican candidates that had competed for the Repub candidacy, just as Obama could have taken Hillary. And it may have made more sense to do so (I still say Hutchison though). But Sara Palin is apparently hardcore conservative enough PLUS plays to soccer mom woman voters. Like you wrote, this is now what we have to work with.

Well then, thank you for pointing out that she briefly had a job as a sportscaster on a news desk.

Hah! You know the answer to that, Truff - he doesn't read anything anyone else posts, and rarely reads a link he has posted himself.

electrified...check! i'm sure that they understand but some like to act like it is something other than the social issues. as long as they post one thing and aren't kidding themselves on their side of the keyboard, i am fine with it.

What one must also keep in mind aka libs is that if you belong to a certain "oppressed" minority, you are duty bound to hold certain political positions, or face their wrath and derision. We witnessed it with the savage, unfounded personal attacks on Clarence Thomas, and we are sure to see it with Governor Palin. Fasten your seatbelts folks. It's going to be a wild ride.

You conveniently forgot 1 part Mayor, 1 Part Governer.

I suppose you only consider someone experienced after they make friends with the likes of William Ayers, Tony Rezko, and Rev. Wright???

You are right Ron, Obamessiah is more experienced than Sarah Palin, he already has that corruption thing figured out
