rc3.org Strong opinions weakly held

Yes, I believe they would because Palin isn’t running for President. McCain is. If they have to defend Palin to win power, that’s what they’ll do.

Do the VP picks really matter? Obviously both candidates picked individuals that would attempt to cover a weakness in their own abilities while glaringly ignoring the message they are putting out. McCain says Obama lacks experience and picks a VP with as little experience as Obama. Obama talks about how he wants change in Washington and picks a six term senator (that’s longer than I’ve been alive and he will win a 7th if Obama loses). It just goes to show that McCain and Obama have more in common than not. They’ll do or say anything to try and get elected.

Clearly McCain didn’t picking her freely–his hand was forced, and that’s real bad because his actions as president would similarly be manipulated. We can all see the wires being used to make grandpa dance now–and who is pulling them.

When Palin proponents say that she “took on” big oil, do they mean that she took big oil on as a PARTNER? Clearly a staunch supporter of oil and gas drilling, she bought off the Alaskan electorate for $1000 each and now she’s GIVING TransCanada half a billion dollar$ to build that pipeline she’s crowing about. With adversaries like that, big oil is drilling all the way to the bank (and gasoline is not getting any cheaper.)

Didn’t we just go through the trauma of having an oil state governor in the whitehouse?
