McCain's Tricky Calculation

Alter begins his sentence "Even many Republicans believe..." The problem is that libs and Dems really don't even begin to understand what Republican conservatives believe. They just don't get it and that's why they're running scared. Governor Palin said what I've always wanted to say to the elitist left wing media and the arrogant liberals who think they can make decisions for my family better than I can. I don't care about your opinions of what I think, how I look, how I raise my children, etc. I am a 51 year old gun owning, pro-life, college educated wife and mother who doesn't need my life and values validated by the media or politicians. Apparently Governor Palin doesn't either.

Comment: Its also funny that Dems are ripping on her being the governor over a small population state and not having any foreign policy experience. . .ever hear of a governor from a back-country little state called Arkansas?

Comment: Yeah that governor's state become first in the nation in economic, job creation and health care coverage for it's citizens. That governor's state also had one of the highest averages in education.

That governor from no where lead this nation with an economic policy that created 22 million jobs, reduced the national debt and created a 555 billion dollar surplus. That governor was President William Jefferson Clinton and unlike you republicans, he placed people in his cabinet who understood foreign policy, energy policy and fiscal discipline.

Now compare that to Sarah Palin's record of deficits, high uninsured, and terrible educational standards, and it is no contest.

Next time you want to debate come with facts and not GOP slander.

Let's see, I'm for McCain, and I have a college education. Most of my friends have college educations and they're for McCain. And college education has nothing to do with intelligence anyway, I (with mine under my belt) am fully willing (and proud) to admit.

The experience argument with Palin isn't so much that Palin has a lot of experience -- it's really more of a counter to the argument the Obama people have put out against her. If you really think Palin doesn't have enough experience to be Vice President, how can you possibly think that Obama has enough to be President? Obama has run NOTHING. Obama has done NOTHING. Except, as Palin's speech pointed out, write two memoirs and give speeches filled with soaring rhetoric with all the substance of cotton candy.

If all we're talking about is experience, McCain wins hands down.

Mr. Alter, do you similarly beleive it is up to you, and the press, to examine Mr. Obama? What about the numerous reports of frustration from your brethern for Mr. Obama not making himself available for interviews and questioning during these wonderful 15 months of running for President.? what kind of follow-ups and digging have you undertaken on him? where was your exhaustive interview of him re: Jeremiah Wright's comments? Oh, I guess his one short press conference weeks later, no questions please, is sufficient. Or questioning him about Wiilaim Ayers? how many people does Newsweek have in Chicago now looking at newly released dopcs on Mr. Ayers/ Mr. Obama's relationship? As a comparison, how many do they have in Alaska? How many questions habve you asked Mr. Obama about his direct attempts to censor an intereview with the journalist who reviewed the Ayers files? how many questions have you asked Mr. Obama about his wife's comments - Oh, I forgot, those comments are all off base, and to that request you comply,, but any similar request by Mr. McCain is viewed with deep ridicule and skepticism.

So Mr. Alter, I appreciate you have taken upon yourself the role of annoiiting and burying candidates, but please do it for both sides. Equally. If Mr. Obama's prime qualiification for President and executive exprerience is the long and expensive campaign he has run, then certainly shouldn't you have asked him just a few digging questions during and about his 15 months of comments, positions, qualifications? Aftre 8Newsweek cover stories, I would think a little digging in additon to the PR would happen, but i guess you've both been very busy.

WHAT MAKES YOU WORTHY OF TELLING US WHAT YOU THINK?

The Main Stream Media should be ASHAMED AS HELL OF ITSELF; but, we know, it has NO SHAME!!! It NOW thinks it should get involved in the vetting of a VP, while it GAVE A SHAMELESS PASS to OBAMA for the PRESIDENTIAL SLOT.

So you think giving SOFTBALL questions to OBAMA in the debates proves anything. Do you think not tracking down his associations, record, accomplishments or lack thereof proves anything? Do you think that attacking a 17 YEAR OLD GIRL of a candidate AND THE CANDIDATE HERSELF MAKES YOU WORTHY OF TELLING US WHAT YOU THINK?

It proves that the MSM is trying as hard as we have ever seen to CONTROL an election like a Chicago Party Machine, or a government controled, Banana Repubic press.

The MSM press has been disgraceful and there has been and will continue to be a decline of the MSM into tabloid, celebrity, and sexism journalism.

With some MSM outlets like NBC, MSNBC, CBS, CNN, NYT, CT, WP, Time, Newsweek, Atlantic Weekly, LAT, and others becoming tabloids following DailyKos, MoveOn.org, and HuffingtonPost, the vast majority of normal, middle class, independent/moderate WILL BE SICK OF YOU.

ANSWER THIS QUESTION:
WHAT MAKES YOU WORTHY OF TELLING US WHAT YOU THINK?

I love it when dems idiots cite the fact that Palin was not vetted. What a crock! Vetting is a process (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vetting) which is designed to reduce the risk of negative exposure or embarrassment. The only person the results of the vetting goes to is the person requesting that the process be done. The only analysis that counts is the person who makes a decision.

So, this means that if John McCain approves of Sarah Palin, so be it. The media doesn't count. Your opinion doesn't count. The only one that counts is John McCain. I find it absolutely hilarious that people are running around spouting off hateful messages towards somebody who was blessed with the opportunity to run for the second highest position in the nation. We should congratulate her and wish her well.

If you really want to put your money where your mouth is, contribute to the cause, otherwise all that you can do that really matters is vote.

Obama is supported by Hamas, Hezb'allah and most people within 10 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
John McCain and Sarah Palin will win most votes in between although they may lose in Gaza.
Joe Biden is of no consequence and will bring nothing to Obama.
Mr. Altar, you do the math.

"The Palin nomination is as much of a test of us as it is of her." Leave it to the elite media to think this story is about them. In fact, they are furious at being bypassed, and for having their coronation of Obama derailed. The moose-hunting mom came out of the woods to point out that the would-be emperor has no clothes. And yes, her experience does trump Obama's.
