Hello shannon!

11 Sep 08 08:27, you wrote to me:

 >> Compared to Palin, at least she has administered a budget and sat

 st> Palin has proven two very important things to me; (1) the GOP
 st> conservative values regarding 'abstinence only' don't work, won't
 st> admit it doesn't work,

Her position has to been to include abstinence not have it excluded.

Which is more effective:

Abstaining

or

A condom that bursts?

 st>  and continues to perpetuate her values on
 st> others and

and as a member of the left, is it not you whom also seek to see your values
spread?

Cant have your cake and eat it too, especially if you are trying to contrast.

 st> (2) she is a liar.  She said a great deal during her speech
 st> at the convention, but the item that stands out most to me was her lie
 st> about Obama's experience.

Does it matter, he seeks the Presidency, whereas she would be a heartbeat away?

There is more to fear from his lack of experience than there is from hers..

At least she got to fight with a legislative body from within a separate branch
of govt, thats what Governors do, tell me about Bam Bam's?

Remember the experience card was played by the Obama camp prior to the
convention speech.

If her speech got weak minded liberals rattled, good, thats what convention
speeches are supposed to do.

 st>  She claimed he had never authored a single
 st> piece of legislation nor has 'any' experience at all.  She was either
 st> extremely ill-informed, didn't write her own speech, or flat-out
 st> 'lied' -- but in any case, SHE made the inaccurate statement and it

<paperboy on street corner>EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT..

No one at either convention wrote their own speeches in either portion or
entirety.

 st>  has mis-lead  many people.  Every time someone gets into a debate
 st> with McCain, he initiates the "Chewbacca" defense (pun taken from
 st> South Park). He immediately starts talking about the Hanoi Hilton
 st> experience he had and everyone cheers -- it's hilarious to watch!  God
 st> bless him for that experience and for serving his country, but that
 st> does not lead me to believe he can run a country any better than
 st> Obama.  I have 'zero' confidence in McCain's ability to lead this
 st> country, and I'm sure if elected, he will (unfortunately) prove me
 st> correct.

and you have every confidence in a community organizer, tell me Shannon, what
is he going to do for me, teach me how to apply for food stamps or welfare and
be forever beholden to his party?

The man hadnt even wrinkled the leather in his new Senate office, before
setting his sights higher.. Getting elected in 2006 was as much a formality to
achieve his goals as you having to get a document notarized.

Look, we all knew Hillary had ambitions, starting back when she married Bubba,
we all know that marriage was more about being a business arrangement than it
being about some pathetic thing called love, but she at least thought it best
to sit out 2004 and serve at least 1.3 terms in the Senate before trying, Obama
hasnt yet hit .3 terms.

In 2004 Hillary could have tried, perhaps should have tried, even at that point
she has a vast experience lead over Bam Bam. During her husbands terms, she was
less than a heartbeat away, just a mere bedsheet.

Obama is a smooth talker, go ahead and follow the pied piper..

 st> I respect your right to your own opinion, and I'm sure there are good
 st> traits you may see in either candidate -- and whoever is chosen, this
 st> country will trudge onward in spite of them.

I didnt vote for McCain in the primary, I fully admit that the GOP could have
had a better candidate.. But the Primary results speak for themselves.

The Democrats fielded better candidates but their primary results spoke for
themselves and dont think for a second, his race didnt help him in the
primaries.

Wanna bitch about lieing??? Show me a politician that doesnt lie or hasnt lied
and I will show you a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier that can sail the seas of
corn on the Nebraska Prairie.

Conventional Wisdom held that McCain would have picked Romney, at least that is
what I expected... Before the news of the affair hit, I halfway expected Obama
to have picked John Edwards?? But Edwards dick kicked him off that list.

We both now know why McCain picked Palin, to evenly match his ticket up with
BamBams. Historic Firsts on both tickets.. He also did so to congeal the party
base..

How soon do you forget that McCain has reached across the aisle several times,
something that is ok with you all, when he isnt running for President???

Oh those bills you cited for Obama, with Republican Senators on many of them.

Also, learn to distinguish the difference between authoring and sponsoring..

Tell us about Earmarks???

Lets be honest here Shannon, it doesnt matter who McCain would have picked you
all would have found something to bitch about..

In the end, as Ward put it, Palin scares the hell out of you and that is why
McCain picked her. Obama made a safe pick but you and I both know, Biden hasnt
a halo above his head either. But at least he has a sizeable record of
experience to look at, his boss does not.
