John McCain to Sarah Palin: I Choose You!

John McCain to Sarah Palin: I Choose You!

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate at a campaign rally on Friday in Dayton, Ohio.

Governor Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president,” the McCain campaign said Friday. “Governor Palin has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of. Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today.”

This move will sure pick up a few of the Hillary Clinton voters!

Little known facts: Palin came in second place at the Miss Alaska pageant in 1984. The 44-year-old Idaho-native also is the mother of five children.

I like this little shake up……..things are going to get interesting

McCain+Palin 2008 @ 08/30/2008 at 1:04 pm

McCain+Palin TEAM will get all the “bitter” votes that Clinton got in suburban/rural America. That is what differentiates between winning and losing in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other battleground states.

McCain+Palin TEAM 2008!
Hillary 2012!

Palin was not chosen to get just the women’s votes. She was chosen to reenergize the Republican party and the way it went, she has succeeded. Donations came pouring in from people who were not so enthusiastic in opening their wallets.

She’s a fighter, she’s smart and she has that likeability factor. Just wait till she goes on the campaign road. She has more executive experience than the other 2 candidates from the opposite side. Her state borders both Canada and Russia. She has dealt with them firsthand and she has been CIC of the National Guards. F-15s are in Alaska constantly patrolling the borders. So she has had more foreign relations than they’ve ever had. Alaska is a whole different animal than all the other states. Don’t sell this woman short.

She also flies planes, shoots guns and races. A woman after my own heart!

Obama is an idiot for not picking Hillary Clinton. He will lose the election because of that.

Cindy better hang on I can see Johns new girlfriend lolo

McCain is out of touch @ 08/30/2008 at 1:21 pm

I pray to God every night McCain doesn’t get elected and now here is yet another reason.

This woman actually said that the VP spot is beneath her and she would only accept it if it best benefits Alaska first. What about the rest of the country? What about world issues? She is also a gun toting anti environmentalist.. who would rather shoot a polar bear and throw its skinned fur on her floor as a rug then allow them to be entered into the official endangered species list. (And they are endangered since the ice and the food is disappearing due to global warming.

And she profits directly from Alaska oil drilling personally through her husband. And it has already been proven that the oil in Alaska and off the coast is not enough to support us for even 5 years and it will take 30 years to even see any benefit at all from it.. what we will see though before any short lived benefit is the destruction of our tourism industry a possible loss in 700 billion a year to resorts and businesses along our shores and the pristine condition of the Alaska Preserves for no damn reason (the Valdez spill is still harming the waters and coastlines where the disaster happened).

Please people wake up and make smart educated decision on Nov 4th.. would you like to represented by someone who puts people of all walks of life and take home pay first. Someone who had the chance to take the quick buck path and instead worked for the rights of the poverty stricken.. people who had lost jobs? Someone who has respect for the constitution and wants equality for us all?

Or for an elitist who will continue to reward the rich(can’t even tell you how many homes he owns and that from an Arizonian.. I am watching my neighbors lose their houses left and right in his precious state and that man doesn’t know how many homes he owns.. one of them was sold recently for 3.5 million and the new owners have to look at the initials MC caved into the giant marble fireplace.. egotistical much McCain??) , the oil companies, those who profit from war, who will ruin our beaches, oceans, preserves without any benefit except lining his oil friends pockets with more untaxed money, and who will over turn Roe vs Wade and then leave it to the states instead.. meaning all you have to do is drive to another state who will preform it.. or go across the border to some back alley doctor(how does that stop abortion??).. sounds safe and healthy. Meanwhile he will continue to take away the programs and benefits of single mothers who their will be a lot more of. Not to mention not being able to secure our borders here in Arizona or protect these poor people from kidnapping and human trafficking here in Phoenix where he owns a 4 million dollar condo!!! Do you really think that if you make less than 500,000 dollars a year.. he will give a rats ass about you and the issues you care about?

McCain will be a disaster.. Obama may not be perfect.. but he is a way lesser evil and very well might get it back on track.. as a country, as an example to the world that power also requires diplomacy.

#86: I would rather have her on the reins than Biden who has terminal foot in mouth disease and is a known plagiarist. He’s been wrong on so many of his votes and choices. Better her than him. She will not hesitate to surround herself with people who knows how to help her…unlike Mr. Big Ego who thinks he knows everything but has never been anything but second banana even with all his years in the Senate.

Hillary wouldn’t have run with Obama.. I doubt she would have said yes. Not because she doesn’t like him or think he is capable of being president.. but because the democrats need her in their back pocket if Obama doesn’t get elected.. then she is a clear winner for 2012..

Problem now is that if McCain is elected their may not be anything left to lead in 2012.. he will lead us into a path of destruction, war, aggression without negotiation that we will not return from.. the poor will be as poor as those in Ethiopia.. the rich will be as rich as those in Dubai. The middle class will vanish completely. We will have nothing left when he is done with us.

My family history I can trace back to the 1700’s.. and here in America we have a long tradition of serving our country.. including myself.. but if McCain is elected I am seriously considering taking my family and moving to Canada.. enough is enough.

#231: Are you crazy? Have you seen her husband? He’s not only young, he’s goodlooking and a sportsman. He’s a stud who’s not afraid to cook and help out with the kids while mama is out doing her job.

These two are the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt of the political world. They’re beautiful, smart, compassionate, adventurous and they have 5 beautiful kids!

Read more about them before you start flapping your mouth!

Cheap talk, no action what?
Please enlighten me and tell me exactly what must he do.
And all of you morons that want gas prices to go $7 a gallon and want thousands more innocent soldiers to die by all means, vote republican!

Electing Palin as VP WILL NOT be change from the current state we’re in. All of you think she’s change because she’s a female but what good is a female if she doesn’t do anything?

===============
yes, I can see Sarah Palin has some Angelina Jolie in her.

first of all what if something happened to mccain if he were elected and all of sudden he didnt make it??? we have this broad as the back up president to run the country?? i dont think so

You ex-Hillary voters for Palin do know that the dems will just end up sending Hillary after Palin, right? When Hillary rips her a new one and Palin responds where will you stand?

Excited about election at last @ 08/30/2008 at 2:36 pm

Yeaaaaaaaa! The Glass Ceiling is about to be broken - Sara Palin is a terrific pick for VP of the US by either candidate. Yes, they can chose their running partner outside their party if they so choose. Sara, as i’ve googled her, shows great leadership and executive qualities and experience; as Governor of Alaska, she’s dealt with foreign policies with Russia and other countries regarding fishing waters for one, she’s the “Reformer” of Alaskan “good ole boy” politics, and considers herself to be a servant of the people who elected her….she’s tackled Big Oil and never backs off righting a wrong. She’s the new Lara Croft!! Palin the Terminator of graft in politics….way to go McCain. As a life long registered Democrat, i will be voting Republican this November 4th. The country’s needs go beyond party lines this election….i choose REFORM over CHANGE.

#240

What kind of Dem are you? Fiscal? Social? Palin is very conservative. If you’re a lifelong Dem chances are your issues don’t match up with hers. Apparently that’s fine because she’s a woman.

BTW, she said she knows Russia because it’s close to Alaska and that she doesn’t know what a VP does. Ummm, excellent choice. Like one of my favorite tv personalities said, she’s also near the north pole. She must know Santa as well.

Omg this is really scary! If McCain get’s elected to be President it’s bye bye for America. Please guys, because i’m powerless in this election please vote for Obama. It will be the best thing for your country. These Republicans don’t care about anything except war and getting rich. They only care about what benefits the rich also. I will so cry if McCain wins. Obama speaks sense. I love that guy. McCain and his little puppet ***** cannot win!! And to all the “Hillary supporters” who are now saying you will vote Republican i am kind of glad about that because you come across as stupid people who don’t have the ability to be loyal, just what the Republican party looks for and wants you to be so go ahead, **** up your country more than it already is. Personally, i can’t see how anyone would ever choose McCain over Obama it is so crystal clear who would make a more worthy President and that is Obama!

remember da truth, I’m sitting out the rest of this thread (and others along these lines) because it’s not worth wasting time debating with minds that believe that the Messiah-ette has arrived, and in one days time she’s been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt worthy of the accolades being heaped on her. The hypocrosy by some on here I’ve known since first coming to JJ’s is blowing my mind, and before I blow a gasket, it’s better to ease back and out.

241, you rock!!!!

Hahaha oh my ***** god can you seriously imagine President Palin?!?! Oh geez if that doesn’t scare the sh!t outta ya i don’t know what will!! I really hope McCain has fuked up his chances of becoming President by picking this young, inexperienced puppet. Haha she has nothing on Obama and Biden. neither does McCain the old, senile fool!

How f*cking dumb can some of you Republican supporters be. I like the way you all say “Obama makes empty promises”. Well gee, why don’t you just f*cking all get together and make a society of Mystic f*cking Megs. How can you know if his promises are empty when he’s not even President yet??!! I f*cking wish i could see into the future like you guys and grin wildly when Obama becomes the next President of America in november. I know you American’s have got a real bad reputation of being a nation full of war-loving dumbasses (thanks to your President George Bush who you guys voted in twice lol) but seriously we all know America is an admirable country and needs to be restored to it’s former glory. Only Obama can do that. Who the f*ck would be so extremely right-wing these days anyway??? The Republicans don’t do ****. I hate them all. President Palin lol. I still can’t get over it!!

What a looser! You can really see he doesn’t care about the people. He is using her. I hope many can see right through that…Vote OBAMA!!!

Remember the “ex-beauty contestant” who became a man and had a baby?! I’d say beauty contests are meaningless though I did notice how the “old loose cannon” and “Father whithered Time”, John McCain, was checking out her fanny while she was speaking. His affair with the woman which surfaced earlier this year but quickly got silenced is not behind him, yet!

Having voted for Senator Clinton and now Senator Obama, this ‘gun totin’ Annie Oakley (whose idea of femininity is to shoot Moose) is not a replacement for Senator Clinton and, hopefully, at some point in the near future Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro, and Debbie Wasserman will bring it on with this pawn of John McCain and the right-wing of the Republican Party who helped Bush-Cheney start the war.

We all must do everything possible to get Obama-Biden elected so Senator Clinton can become a Supreme Court Justice!

Feel sorry for her for having been used as a pawn? I don’t think so….she’s got bigger gonads than the ones John McCain lost while running in 2000 against his BFF, George W. Bush!

John McCain is an angry former POW who didn’t learn his lesson regarding war and is proving weekly to be less than stable psychologically. We’ve all seen the real “man behind the mask” in recent weeks and he does not deserve to be elected to the White House.

john ruckstaetter @ 08/30/2008 at 5:15 pm

Experience? Obama has 146 days in the senate. That’s it folks. Otherwise, he was just a state senator…not running a state. Get a clue folks. This obama noob is nothing as he says nothing, is nothing, then goes out and hires an old washington crony. Same ol party line politics. He had to try to cover up his experience. Bottom line now is, who do u want to look at for 8 more years: biden or palin? Choice is clear. The rest is”change”. Lmao at the commie libs.
