I totally agree with sergiosays: the trophy wife and trophy VP. Six or seven houses wasn't enough? Look at that peck on the cheek near his right ear she gives him She's gunning for the mountain top and should be learning to walk around mile high Dever first.
...a good choice?
*The man is 72 years old... when he becomes incapable of running the country, are we really going to have a Vice President take over who used to run a village of 6,000? Spare me.
*McCain picked a trophy wife, and now he has picked a trophy VP! The man supports requiring insurance companies to cover Viagra I smell a Oval Office scandal..Lewinsky style.
And it was a semi good strategy on his part. It's aimed directly at trying to get all the Hilary-Die-Hards to convert since he has a woman on the ticket... a woman who is a mother of 5, has a kid in the army, newborn has down-syndrome... a public servant who has only been Governor for 2 years, and Mayor before that. But that's it- she has PTA President qualifications but none to run the country when McCain croaks, has no experience with foreign policy whatsoever (other than Alaska is not physically connected to the country) which all that throws off McCain's argument against Obama and his experience -and the campaign is hoping that none of the PUMA's(PARTY UNITY MY A$$) will look to deep into the real reason he selected Palin. It's a slap in the face to those voters and not to mention to all the people on his "shortlist".
Well, I was watching the TODAY show when the breaking knews came out and I was totally shocked that McCain would do this. I also saw her acceptance and introduction speach this morning. I understood though because of McCain's age, he at times loses it and doesn't think right nor makes right decisions. But that's okay because I'm not a Republican anyway. The first thing I thought about was.......If McCain wins and croaks the next day of all the excitement (especially standing next to Sarah,) I mean, she's a beauty queen ain't she? She will be the next president for the next 4 years!! Dang! What will she do? What can she do? She doesn't know anything about what goes on in Washington. What is her foreign policy experience, "NILL". I heard her say, "What is Foreign Policy", "Washington?" Isn't that north of Oregon?" Can you see her in charge of our troops?? Heck!! I might as well be Vice President. At least I was a Boy Scout, been overseas and across the border a few times.
