billethkid, I don't think this thread will be hijacked because it is for people who like John McCain and Sarah Palin and what they stand for.

I think cologal has some legitimate questions although she borders on attack. It seems to me her mind is already made up. What we are trying to do is discuss issues but at the same time keep it Republican and Independent. If liberals have questions they can ask and one of us will give them our answer. The name callers will never post here as they do not know how to discuss real issues in a mature manner.

About your reflection on Biden when he was picked is absolutely correct. It allowed Obama to come out saying the election is about me and BTW I have picked a great VP who knows much more about Washington and National Security than I ever could. McCain is saying the election is about me and BTW I have picked a great VP who is young and is willing to grow with the party. She will do her job and do it well.
Obama swore to us all those months ago how he was a person of change and how politics as usual won't fly with him in the race. Look at him now, talking Lipstick. The Dem's are on the run, the Rep's have won. The debate will seal the fate of Obama.
