Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Your message forced me to reply.

Sarah Palin is no different than most women who believe in family. It is a balancing act that we women do every day. The ability to multi-task, meticulous planning and total responsibility to job is what we all do. Actually, she is refreshing and certainly women everywhere can relate to this. Give her credit that she is committed to what ever job she is given, she will put everything into it. She will definately be a fabulous president!

Ummmmm...President???

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

The norm is for the incumbent VP to get the party nomination when the incumbent President no longer can or desires to run for re-election. VP Cheney is the first incumbent VP that I can quickly remember not to seek the Presidential nomination.

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

The RNC party is notorious for fear mongering. I am a realist also. Sadly, I believe there will be an attack or attempted attack no matter who the next President is. I, for one, did not expect an attack before 7 to 9 years after 2001. 1993 was the last attack on American soil. These people (terrorists) are not as clever or as organized as people give them credit for. So, sorry, I can't credit Bush with keeping us safe. Have you been to our airports? The security is a joke. Although some US airports are better than others. Bush did not only NOT keep us any safer, his war in Iraq made us more hated and consequently more unsafe. McCain voted for this war, voted for the surge (the fact that it's working is another bit of misinformation) and I will guarantee you he will step it up and take us into a war with Iran. Now that's something you should fear.

As I stated I don't talk politics socially. But I have said to my husband (who did vote for Bush twice!) consider your vote wisely. If you vote Republican again, I don't want to hear any whining about the Economy, how bad your stocks are doing, etc. Nothing! Because you will be voting in 4 more years of the same.

McCain's "maverick" days are over. He's long sold out by voting with Bush 90% of the time.
Palin's resume is weedy, a 20 month Gov. that is under indictment in her own state, population 80 people per square mile. Ex-Mayor of a town of 8,000 that left the budget in tatters.

I prefer a President that uses diplomacy plus force. This is what Senator Obama will bring. McCain does not have the temperament or policies to be President. Much less Palin.

And by the way, has the RNC yet come up with an original idea or are they going to parrot the dems for the next 2 mos. My goodness, hasn't "change" suddenly become in vogue. That's not what the RNC was offering from the beginning. And in fact, by adopting or should I say stealing, this slogan, they are dissing their own party. Duh? :dontknow:

I know you will be disappointed but I cannot stay but wanted to point out to you that Sen Obama disagrees with your comment on the surge :)

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

OBAMA: ...."There is no doubt that the violence is down and that is a testament to the troops that were sent and General Patraeus and Ambassador Crocker. I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated, by the way, including President Bush and the other supporters...."

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Bucco you are correct on this. But it's not going to bring us victory. Nothing is. McCain is blowing smoke on this subject. I think the old days of "the bad guys lose and we win" are over. That is why I want and this country so desperately needs a President that will use diplomacy as well as force.

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

The DNC is notorious for fear mongering.
Spin it as you like, but only a Bush hater would not give Bush credit for keeping us safe for the last 7 years. I wonder what you would say if there had been an attack on us.
Obama didn't vote for the war because he didn't have to. If he could have he would have voted PRESENT.
You can't even admit that the surge has been a overwhelming success. Thats big of you. You must have blinders on.
Obamas ideas for the economy are good?, You have to be kidding.
I HOPE McCain Palin keep on the CHANGE idea then we can see what kind of CHANGE the voters want. Benj

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Benj, I find nothing, NOTHING, overwhelming about The Republican Party. Let's just agree to disagree. Have a good day.

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

The reason there has been no attacks is the hard work and dedication of many people in the intellligence and operations communities, almost all of whose activities are invisible to the general public for what should be obvious security reasons. They are the reason most of the nation sleep at night in relative peace and tranquility, and their capacity to do their jobs has more than tripled in the last 7 years, compared to the 5 years previous.

The security threat and providing effective security against the threat is like an iceberg - the average person only sees that one/eleventh of it that is above the waterline. The airport security is a prime example, as most people never see what happens outside of the public's view or how all of the information comes together (threat and protection). I often joke about the passenger security line at the airport, but what goes on around it - outside of the passenger's notice - is very impressive.

The current administration HAS dramatically improved the security posture of this nation, and to me "current administration" is everyone from the top-down involved in the intelligence and operations business. The fact that is goes on pretty much unnoticed (and unappreciated by many) is testimonial to how good it has become.

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

I adamantly disagree for reasons I've stated. As as for the airports! The last time I was at O'Hare, my husband walked through security with five, 5, lighters in his pocket. He didn't do it on purpose, he forgot they were there. I was amazed.

Gee chelsea what a shock. Benj

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Steve, I've been around the block a few times and to a couple of county fairs so I understand how the systems works. They have to win first, though. The comment made (as written) was "She will definately be a fabulous president!"

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Chels: If you read the Chicago papers as I do, you will see that more people were murdered in Chicago the last few months than deaths in Iraq. That should tell you something :dontknow: :dontknow:

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

For anyone to say that John McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time is just not in tune with the facts. Even the liberal Washington Post pointed out that Obama was not very accurate when using that number. If you don't count the unanimous votes in the Senate (votes in which every member of the Senate voted for...for naming post offices, bridges, etc, etc) then his percentage is like 45% in support of Bush.
