LOL Bush says McCain is ready, just like he said he had "looked into Harriet Myers'' soul" and found her ready, then she failed to even make it to a confirmation hearing.
McCain questioned Obama''s judgment, but then chose Palin for a running mate. John must be smoking butt-crack.
Tuesday''s Parade-Of-Losers at the GOP convention only served to underscore the shame Bush & McCain have brought upon America.
As a life-long Republican, I have had far more than enough to make me say, call me an Obamacan.

Alaska gets the more tax dollars back than it puts in, or said differently, it is heavily subsidized by the United States Government. Some states send taxes to the US government. Some states get our taxes sent to them. Alaska per capita gets more of our taxes than any other state.

Obama''''s federal, that''''s FEDERAL, experience compared to Palin''''s is beyond dispute.. Now how you VALUE that experience may be debatable, but it''''s existence is self-evident. Why are you republicans just SO DAMNED IGNORANT??

Sorry, but 143 days as US junior senator does not get trumped by two years as a governor in a state totally bordered by two foreign countries and that holds such a big stake in the US GNP.

Sorry, but that old dog dont hunt.

Like I said, they pro''''bly couldn''''t get a stake in it...

Watch after the election...we''''ll be free trading with everybody...ESPECIALLY if Obama wins...it''''s his plan...not the sovereign country of the US, but the US buried in global authority...with our Constitution buried in it.

Remember that CHANGE he''s promising you? He hates the US. He wants it sunk so deep in global authority we''ll never be able to recognize it.

Did you not know that Obama is an important member of the Council on Foreign Relations? A top level senate committee? And a United States SENATOR? How does he NOT have federal experience? You are a fool, just ignorant!
RE:
"Palin is in charge of Governing BIllions of dollars in a state budget.....what does YourMama actually govern??? Not a D amn F-ing Thing...... Palin''''s experience outweighs Obama''''s any day of the week....and that''''s why the Dem''''s are attacking her like crazy...."

Still, in that floor vote opposition consisted of 116 Democrats and 16 Republicans. It is plenty clear which party is the party of free trade. The Democrats have some housecleaning to do but the people will get it right in the end.

Of course Obama/Biden lead, they are vastly superior to McCain/Palin.

The man McCain chose to be the Vice Chairman of his campaign Phil Gramm caused the Subprime meltdown.

Palin in not even qualified to be Gov, much less V.P.

The choice is more than clear.

Obama/Biden 2008.

Maybe they couldn''''t get a stake in it like they could when they passed the Peru Trade Agreement.

Obama will tax the middle class and lower middle class more in order to give to the lower class. The lower class will obviously benefit, the rich can afford it, so once again the middle to lower middle class will feel the sting.

Sounds like Obama tax plan exactly to me. We know he isn''t going to tax the hand that feeds his campaign funds.

Really, then why has Pelosi stopped free trade agreements with Columbia and Vietnam dead in their tracks while Bush and the Republican party whine about it? Also, you do realize that most of these unfair trade agreements were negotiated by Bush under fast track authority given to him by a Republican Congress, right?

President Obama will stop rewarding the status quo oil companies and start rewarding American ingenuity, returning this country to prosperity at last!

Oh, Sarah Palin can hold her own...and the power in this country really does not rest in the Skull and Bones Club, or the Kennedy Club...but in the people...like Ohio and Pennsylvania...and Union Workers...who know exactly who is was that started shipping their jobs overseas...and it wasn''t McCain or Palin either one...but is in fact being highly promoted by most of the democrats...they seems to luvvvvvvvvv free trade.

Wow, 3 whole points?

LOL!

If McCain%u2019s strategy was to reach out to women voters, however, thus far it hasn%u2019t been successful. The night after the announcement, slightly more women voters viewed Palin as the right choice for McCain%u2019s running mate, but now 41% say she was not, versus 36% who still believe she was a good choice. Forty-one percent (41%) of women say they are less likely now to vote for McCain because of Palin, as opposed to 31% who say they are more likely to support him. Women voters were essentially even on this question in the earlier survey.

Men still back McCain%u2019s decision. Forty-one percent (41%) say she was the right choice, while 37% disagree. Earlier, men favored the decision by a 43% to 31% margin. Forty-three percent (43%) of men voters say they are more likely to vote for McCain because of his choosing of Palin as a running mate, but 34% say they are less likely to do so. This is a jump in support from the earlier survey.

But even a plurality of men (47%) say Palin is not ready to be president in the event of the 72-year-old McCain being incapacitated while in the White House, although 32% believe she is ready. Women voters by a nearly two-to-one margin believe Palin is not ready.
