Sorry to tell you this subby, but Dan Quayle actually got elected, unlike Lloyd "disgrace to Texas" Bentsen.

Yes, but Quayle also treated Murphy Brown like she was a real person.

I see what you did there.

palin brings a lot to the ticket...

sarah palin understands the importance of bondage between a mother and child. she knows that the future will be a better tomorrow, and that we don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward. she understands what a waste it is to lose one's mind. or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. how true that is.

she is also a strong asset with foreign policy. she knows that we have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a *part* of NATO. and that we have a firm commitment to europe. we are a *part* of europe. she knows the dangers we face in the world today. she believes we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change.

she also is a strong asset on the domestic front. she knows that quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children. she wants to make sure that we're going to have the best-educated american people in the world.

sarah palin has made good judgements in the past, and she have made good judgements in the future. she is proof that people that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history. when you talk about her, illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it.

oh NOE you DIN'T!

good points, burndtdan.

Palin has approval numbers from Alaskans that most politicians dream of: 80%

That's got to be the headline of the millenium.

So far.

It's not news, it's SarahPalin.com.

McCain picking her proves that he's a maverick!

I'm not too impressed with insta-polls like this. However, Palin isn't all that impressive either, unless you like moose.

Quayle was treated pretty unfairly. He really wasn't that bad, and he had over 10 years in congress before being picked.

Ferraro was more shaky and more obviously a tactic rather than "best for the job". 54% of women agreed and voted for Reagan.

Palin is worse than either of those. She's more of an Admiral Stockdale level pick.

Regardless of whether or not this political craps roll is going to pay off, its getting us talking about her.

/Already sick of seeing "Palin" every other headline
//Understands what the Anti-Obama people feel now

Yes but can she hanle office if McCain croaks? Doubtful.

This is a beyond cynical choice. So many great, strong, Republican women he could have chosen from. Of course, if he had chosen one of them it would have been even clearer what a weak candidate John McCain is. Try again in 4 years.

You could try the Geek tab?

Third Day Mark: //Understands what the Anti-Obama people feel now

The anti-Obama only want to talk about Obama. Never McCain. Most of the time the RNC's web site is all Obama with zero mention of McCain.

Bacontastesgood: Quayle was treated pretty unfairly.

I just can't buy that. He said even victoms of rape and incest should not be permitted to get an abortion. Regular douchbag.

smeegle: Yes but can she hanle office if McCain croaks?

What's there to do? She kisses him, and he turns back into a handsome prince.

Bacontastesgood: She's more of an Admiral Stockdale level pick.

I'm hoping she turns out to be more of a Thomas Eagleton pick.

Snarfangel: smeegle: Yes but can she hanle office if McCain croaks?

Props

She'll be a 25th Amendment Vice President. As soon as McCain needs a real VP, she'll resign for family reasons, and McCain in failing health will basically appoint his successor.

//Gerald Ford approves

Hmm interesting since I wonder if McCain ever got therapy for being abused for 5 years.

smeegle: Bacontastesgood: Quayle was treated pretty unfairly.

I just can't buy that. He said even victoms of rape and incest should not be permitted to get an abortion. Regular douchbag.

In his defense, he thought it was victims of rap.

/that terminal "e" thing. Sad case, really.

She's more like Geraldine Ferraro, Dan Quayle, and Admiral Stockdale rolled into one hot package.

Tomato,,, tomaaato, potato, potatoe,, let's call the whole thing off:P

What I really wonder is -- when are reporters going to get to ask her some questions, and what will the answers be?

My wife is thrilled with her being the VP pick!

She figures there is no way the old coot will live long enough to complete his first term and then we will have a woman as president.

I am just waiting for the nude photos to show up?

Who cares? Nobody knows what the VP is supposed to do anyway.

It was disturbing before the primaries were finished. After the primaries, the all-Obama-all-the-time was to be expected.

mikemoto: Sorry to tell you this subby, but Dan Quayle actually got elected, unlike Lloyd "disgrace to Texas" Bentsen.

He got elected alongside a very bright and well-respected statesman with a wealth of domestic and foreign policy experience, who was coming into office on the heels of perhaps the most well-liked president of the 20th century, who also happened to be in pretty terrific physical and mental shape, making the role of vice-president less visible.

And we hadn't lived through Dick Cheney yet.

Basically, McCain is telling the American people that in the event of his death or incapacity, in peace or war, this is the one person he wants to take over the office of President.

That OK with everyone?

mikemoto: Sorry to tell you this subby, but Dan Quayle actually got elected, unlike Lloyd "disgrace to Texas" Bentsen.

Yeah, VP confidence means little. Wasn't Dick Cheney at like 15% approval going in the 2004 election?

Edsel: What I really wonder is -- when are reporters going to get to ask her some questions, and what will the answers be?

"How is your granddaughter?"

KramericaWallet: Who cares? Nobody knows what the VP is supposed to do anyway.

Every day you inquire, "How are you feeling today, Mr. President?"

Who will you vote for when you're all alone in the voting booth with the curtain drawn?




/why yes... i am proud of my crappy GIMP skills and that's why I'm posting it in every thread

Palin agrees, she is as hard core as social conservatives go, why do you think Rush and friends have such a stiffy for her? (I mean, aside from the obvious reason)

Here's what John McCain had to say about Dan Quayle's candidacy in 1988:
"Quayle was chosen to appeal to a younger generation of Americans and his looks were praised by Senator John McCain, who said 'I can't believe a guy that handsome wouldn't have some impact.'"

Here's what Sarah Palin had to say about Sarah Palin's candidacy in 2008:
INTERVIEWER: Do you feel ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? SARAH: Absolutely. Yup, yup. Especially with a good team around us.

Talk about confidence!

Here's what I have to say about Sarah Palin's candidacy:

There's a right way to do things differently, and there's a very, very wrong way to do things differently.

You guys are boring. I'm gonna go masterbate to my shiney new Palin doll.

How many of the lower 48 states have you visited for 24 hours or more?

How old were you when you first visited a city with a population bigger than the State of Alaska's?

When was the first time you read the Constitution?

Did you take any Government or Civics classes in Journalism School?

Your wife is a nimcompoop. Yes I would love to have a female president but she needs to be somewhat QUALIFIED fer crisakes.

Can you please tell your wife, for me, one woman to another that this is not a good idea. Palin doesn't have leadership skills to run a nation of 300 million strong. And if she screws up, NO ONE will ever vote for ANOTHER WOMAN for another one or two generations. Or even mention nominating a woman. See the end of Thatcher's career.

smeegle: I just can't buy that. He said even victoms of rape and incest should not be permitted to get an abortion. Regular douchbag.

That's a position. I also think it sucks, but Sarah Palin has the same position, and Pat Buchanan, and millions of other Americans on the far right. It has little bearing on whether either of them could handle a crisis or fix the economy. If something had happened to Poppy, we would have been OK with Quayle, just like we were with Ford and LBJ. We would not have been OK with the likes of Agnew, and Palin seems a lot more like Agnew.

Quayle was basically ridiculed not for his positions but for being a child and a "dummy", neither of which were true. All politicians say dumb stuff from time to time. He was a victim of foot in mouth disease, getting off on the wrong foot and lazy journalism.

GBmanNC: Fap?
