Now do we really want to base our unbiased, intelligent opinions for our candidate choice on how a candidate views SNL? I'm more than amused at how important the irreverent SNL show has become a major factor in electing our next president.

If we are to elect wisely, watch the debate Thursday evening. Joe Biden should NOT get a pass because he is an old Washington insider, listen to the man and Palin. Realize that John McCain and Barrack Obama are the same heartbeat away from death, one! Being younger does not guarantee longevity. God forbid anything happen to either one of them but I have seen enough to know that anything can happen to one or the other at any moment in time.

Sorry, would still have someone that was the Head of the Foreign Relations Committee than the Mayor of Wasilla. Call me crazy, but this is not about gutting a moose. :confused:

I want Biden to take the gloves off big time. That's what I had to do when I had to deal with the "Good Old Boys Club in business." She should not be coddled. But, he'll probably get slammed for that. :rant-rave:

Bad Deal, But must be done.

I believe 94 Democrats also voted no for the bailout. Last time I checked the Democrats have the majority so they don't need the Republicans to pass the bill. Why won't they pass it on their own? 1. Because it's a bad deal and they know it. 2. As always they can blame the GOP and get away with it.

There's a lot to blame the GOP for and it's way more than the vote. Those Dems are to blame also. But 2/3 of the Dems voted for and and 2/3 of Repubs voted against it. That's where the scale tips.

Chels, if you're going that route... she may be gutting a moose but it's better than be on the table for another "nip/tuck" during a crisis. Geezzzz.... her hobbies are now the criteria. If Mr. Obama is soooo wise and intelligent, how did he get Biden on the ticket... the practically winless president candidate? Because Mr. Obama knew Hillary Clinton had a helluva lot more going for her and he would be upstaged so he went mediocre.

Agree to disagree.

What route? The Republicans have been slamming Obama on everything from a flag pin to people around when he was 8 years old. Why is Palen off limits?

McCain looked a father defending his daughter yesterday on Katie Couric. It's ridiculous and an insult to the American people.

I like Joe Biden and my stance is clear. Hillary would have been wonderful on the ticket, but I think any person or woman that would switch tickets just because Palin is a woman, is as shallow as she is. I don't think for one minute that Obama didn't choose her because he was afraid of being upstaged. Politics is much more intricate than that. I love Hillary and she'll be back. But she lost the primary. This is not her time. Yet.

The route is the personal attacks on who she is as a person. Must we all be indentical in nature or we are flawed? What does her interest in hunting have to do with this election, is my point. I respect your vote, it the argument I question but that too is your right if that is the tact taken. I'll listen to the debate and then wait for the elections, I'm outta the political posts. I'm looking forward to meeting you at Crisper's in the next few months, Chels.

Just to keep things light, check out this funny tongue-in-cheek article in the Onion

I would tend to agree with this statement. The question then becomes is she a better VP candidate than Sen. Biden?

If you can look at the two people without character slander, life-style choices and wardrobe, what's left is:

1. An attorney whose only job has been as a Senator, which basically is to be part of a select team to debate legal and social philosophy, never having to be responsible for a decision. Senators are the ultimate academic - always dealing in theory and rarely associated with any vote or action they do. It's the ultimate job for critics and social register crones.

2. A governor (non-attorney) whose only had the job for a couple years, but has served several years as a state comissioner and town mayor. All of these jobs have had the person in full visibility of the public for all decisions, actions, gaffes, et al. The person's record of accomplishment has resulted in becoming governor over one-fifth of the national geography; in the only state bordering more than one country, having the largest shoreline and most diverse climate; and the state which has become focal point for all ecological concerns of the national populace.

If the senator was female and the governor a male, would this even be an issue? ? ?

Interesting how Biden and Palin are both secluded with their advisors training for the debate.

Biden is of course just training but the typical one sided media has to add the word boot camp for Palain just to throw a negative spin on it.

Even if I don’t like Palin I hope she destroys Biden in the debate just to make the left eat crow. Of course even if she clearly wins the debate the media will still rip her apart and declare Biden the winner.

The left claims they are the open-minded and tolerant one’s but I sure don’t see it. They seem angry and bitter to me.

Many years ago I heard a story about two twin boys ...One was elected Vice President and the other Ran away to sea..... And neither was heard from again..................


One can only hope that the same will happen to several of these posters..
