Gas prices plummeted from $3.49 to $3.59 a gallon. So that’s what naming a Governor from an oil producing state will do for gas prices.

Kristol’s a tool.

Oh! Great! We have to treat John McCain with kid gloves because he was a prisoner of war and did not have a table let a lone a house for five years. So he picks an unqualified candidate for second in command and we have to thread lightly because the poor dear had a four month old baby with downs syndrome. When you do not practice birth control and you are 43 years old when you choose to have a baby the chances are great that you will have a baby with Downs syndrome. Proves to me that she uses bad judgment.

I think a bill should be introduced in the congress regarding drilling closer to home like ANWR and offshore. Start with every senator and rep who signs on for it will

have to agree

to have an oil rig set on their own property first and all profits will benefit the middle class.

“Gas prices will plummet immediately”

Not in my neighborhood. Up 8 cents yesterday, still 25 cents higher than March, 2008.

McCain’s choice of Palin follows Bill Kristol’s lead.

Anyone who follows Bill Kristol’s lead had better not be wearing $500+ shoes, ’cause he’s gonna step in something nasty.

Mr. Evil,
Without seeing this vid (I can’t stomach the man), but from what I know so far, I suspect Kristol may have shown weakness in spilling those beans. After the beating he’s been taking his ego needed a boost, and I think he knew this chess move in advance. I wonder if any of his fellow neocons chided him after the spillage back in June?

The more I hear about Palin, the more I look forward to the VP debates. Biden is gonna unhinge his jaw and swallow her whole. OM NOM NOM.

I agree. I don’t think she stands a chance in hell against Biden.

There were some, sure. But it’s rather naive to assume that they’re going to switch their party allegiance and political ideology just cause McCain’s running mate has lady parts.

You’re assuming that they cared about politics more than they do seeing a woman being elected to the presidency.

she was still the best choice, McCain couldn’t have made you any happier.

Are you talking to me? If so, Palin would not have even been in my top 10 if I was McCain.

Do you really think that there are not women out there that were supporting Hillary simply because she was a woman?

From yesterday’s Republican Rule Book:

The only person qualified to occupy the Oval Office is an old former Vietnam POW who has been to Iraq 8 times.

From today’s Republican Rule book:

The only person qualified to take over from an old POW in the Oval Office is a young non-POW who went to Iraq once.

First, anyone who says they were a Hillary supporter will not be voting for mccain and if they do then they were never a Hillary supporter to begin with…..just a rush plant.

Why would the far-right need appealing when they already have their mind made up on wedge issues?

Many had decided not to vote because they didn’t feel McCain was conservative enough. This choice brings back into the fold millions that would have otherwise sat at home on election day.

Scat Says:
Not entirely true. First and foremost, McCain has appealed to all of the Hillary supporters that feel left out of the loop.

Secondly, Palin will appeal to far-right conservatives due to her views on abortion, gun rights, oil drilling, etc. Positions where she is right of McCain.

Not saying it’s a good choice or that it will work but she does serve a purpose for McCain.

First, anyone who says they were a Hillary supporter will not be voting for mccain and if they do then they were never a Hillary supporter to begin with…..just a rush plant.

Second, the far right was already on board and this still wont be enough to get them to the polls….to bad for you.

Third, yes she serves to show the desperation of the gop. They know, especailly after the democratic convention that they are in deep doo doo…….happy trails.

After Hillary spoke, I don’t think so. You are here to blow hot air and manufacture controversy. He has the base who will get behind anything with an (R) next to it.

Secondly, Palin will appeal to far-right conservatives due to her views on abortion, gun rights, oil drilling, etc. Positions where she is right of McCain.

Why would the far-right need appealing when they already have their mind made up on wedge issues? The job is done, you have your 20%-ers. Congrats, but it won’t win you the election. Too bad.

Not saying it’s a good choice or that it will work but she does serve a purpose for McCain.

As last-minute desperation, yes. Will it stick, no.
