CatScratchFever Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 [quote name='Lucid' post='692770' date='Aug 29 2008, 11:53 AM']What is it you like about her?[/quote] Admittedly I know very little at this point, like everyone else outside of Alaska, I'm still learning. But she has built a reputation of being extremely hostile towards government waste. She won the governorship based on that. One example I've heard is that she sold the multi-million dollar private jet that her predecessor had purchased, drives her own car rather than taking state-provided transportation (granted, her car IS a Chevy Suburban, and I'm sure she turns in an expense report just like the rest of us who drives her own car for work, but in defense of the Suburban, she does have 5 kids. That's a lot of soccer practice). I'm keeping my eyes open for other examples. Her husband looks like a dude that would prefer to sit on the couch and watch NFL Network 24-7 and let his wife bring home the bacon. I highly admire that. Not to mention the MILF quality is undeniable. no ninja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper and at first glance the liberal view points come off as convincing and I'm like, "well maybe they're on to something". But I like to dig much deeper than the sugar coated politics as they're presented in speeches and in little blurbs or blogs or w/e. I like to really see all sides and why something is good, why it would be bad etc..... And every time I do that, I usually end up on the middle/right and far from the left. plus I don't get emotional about politics at all, and democrats really seem to play on and appeal to peoples emotions and they're good at it. But I like things that appeal to my logic and common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the kicker: McCain never even met the girl before this past Sunday. That's right .... never even spoke a word to her or had any personal interaction with her until 5 days ago! This alone tells me this wasn't McCain's pick at all .... His party masters absolutely told him NO to Romney, Leiberman and Tom Ridge .... in favor of a town Mayor, PTA member, Hockey mom, Hard core pro-life Creationist .... I was going to mention she also has an "unmarried" 17 yr. old daughter who is currently preggo ..... but people don't care about that stuff .... right? This is totally an idealogical pick ....

steggyD Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Women, even though many of them claim to be "pro-choice", when asked, will say they would never do it themselves. At least many of the women I have talked to. And this was a group of women who just finished talking about how great Obama is and how his pick for VP was the best choice ever. Hypocrite? Neocon? You think this group of dems aren't neocons? Ha! I laugh. Biden is part of the Foreign Relations Committee and has a record against the second ammendment. Besides, look it up. Biden is a Steelers fan ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
