I tell you, I didn't know that Pat Robertson tried to get on the republican ticket in 1988...sm
and I was enjoying the 700 club last year. They have some good Christian stories on there and motivational things that I actually liked. That was until one day Pat started talking politics and throwing his opinions around as if they were God's. That show hasn't gotten a rating point from me since then. He's definitely a radical in my book.
McCain/Palin is my ticket
Isn't anybody on our board a Republican besides me?  I'm disappointed that McCain didn't start getting tough earlier in his campaign. He doesn't have the charisma and speaking style that Obama has, but I believe that he has what it takes to lead our country. I also think President Bush has done an excellent job.
McCain's fundraiser on Monday was $50K a ticket . . .
for a measly buffet dinner. At least the dems got Barbra at a bargain price of $30K comparatively.
If the McCain-Palin ticket wins...sm
the actuarial tables say McCain has 1 in 5 chance of dying in office and Palin becoming president. Oh, no, Mr. Bill ! !
If the McCain/Palin ticket has any chance of winning...sm
the election, they need to about face, stop the negativity, stop talking about Obama, and tell the American people how life would be better if he were elected president. If he doesn't, he does not have a chance. John McCain needs to stop pandering to the religious right and go back to the maverick that he used to be, representing middle America.
What makes you think Colin Powell would want to be on the McCain ticket?
Colin Powell decided not to run for President of the United States several years ago. Why on earth would he accept an offer to run for Vice President on the McCain ticket? In addition, Powell has adamantly denounced the despicable smear tactics used by the McCain campaign recently.
I find it laughable how quickly the right-wing wackos turn against anyone who makes an educated decision to support Obama.
If you believe McCain isn't more of the republican
to take everyone's mind off that fact, then I have some oceanfront property in Fallon, Nevada that you just might be interested in.
Voting for McCain doesn't make you a republican

"Fooling people was the key to the job" according to one worker.
I agree too. Former Reagan Republican here.sm
I agree with what you are saying. I voted for Bush the first time, sorry I did. 16 years of corrupt politics, lies, and scandals is hard to deal with. Clinton turned the White House into a ho house and Bush is turning it into the Reichstag. Think the country would be better off if Larry the Cable Guy was President.
agree with you....soap-opera republican...nm

Yes, I would agree Rove is loyal to the Republican party...
he is still not one of my favorite people. And yes, he is brilliant as far as politics are concerned. Frankly, I think he said the stuff about Romney because he figured McCain would not pick him. I really never thought he would. They just don't fit, in my opinion. In a lot of ways, and if you are going to run this country with someone, basic ideas need to be the same. That is why the #1 most liberal senator and the #3 most liberal senator are running on the Dem ticket.
Of course, Rove is toeing the party line now and saying that Palin was a good pick, but still saying he thought it was going to be Romney. So we will see...all I can speak for is myself, but I would not have been nearly AS energized for a Romney pick as I am for Sarah Palin. I would still have supported McCain...but not as enthusiastically.
No more than I agree with everything McCain says.
That was my point.
I agree - McCain is a wolf.
Making promises he won't (or can't keep), offering tax breaks that won't amount to anything (his 1% rich friends will still get more than they need) and we will be given scraps hoping that appeases us, keeping the war going, oil companies will continue to profit, housing market will continue to decline, banks and brokerages will continue to be bailed out all while the American people suffer for it. We will be led into a depression before his time is done (while of course blaming the other side), the list goes on and on and on, all the while he will continue to call us "my friends".
I agree that if McCain/Palin win this one,
Big-time.
I agree that McCain has been for deregulation...
yes. But when it counted, when he saw the crisis coming, he cosponsored legislation to REGULATE. Obama did not. This is not just about money. This is about putting your country first. WHen you see that your economy could be put in crisis because of a program in trouble, you should put country before party and fix it. Obama, Dodd, and Frank did not; in fact, made it worse by encouraging Fannie/Freddie to go on just like they were. That is about judgment. THat is about caring more about your country that your party or your career. Yes, I will accept that McCain had a lobbyist as recently as last month on his campaign. Will you accept that Jim Johnson, with Obama campaign until last month, was one of the CEOs who walked away from Fannie with a HUGE golden parachute, PERSONALLY benefitted from the cooked books?
No, I do not accept that McCain had anything to do with this crisis that faces us now. He is the only one who saw this coming and tried to head it off, and Obama and Biden BOTH helped kill it.
Obama showed very plainly that he put party and career first, and the American people second. As did Dodd, Frank, and yes, Biden because none of them would buck the party and help the legislation pass.
I think his judgment is wrong, I think his priorities are wrong, I think he and the Democrats are on the wrong side of this and Republicans are on the right side, specifically John McCain.
I am not convinced it was all about money. What I am convinced about is that it was party ahd politically motivated and we the rank and file Americans got thrown under the bus. McCain tried to stop the bus...the Democrats, Dodd, Obama in particular...pushed the accelerator.
I agree - it WAS McCain's best debate. And if that's
xyz
Agree 100% with you regarding McCain being an adulterer....
leaving his first wife who had been disfigured in an car accident! Shame!
Why did he cheat on her and later divorce her?
He could have done this without cheating on her first.
I do NOT believe him when he says the he regretted it because he NEVER regretted it.
Also McCain was offered to be released from imprisonment, what he refused. Really nice gesture to his wife.
It is old stuff, I know, but the OP reminded me of that. Talk about trust!
I think that would be a dream ticket
but I don't know if they could get along after all of the nasty things they said about each other. Or at least, what Bill has said about Obama
That's the ticket, Kaydia! sm
Another helpful hint. When you want to catch the news, and especially political news, look at Yahoo Headline News or any other site that has the days headlines. You get the news minus the talking heads! I actually enjoy politics. What I don't enjoy are the commentators going on an on with their own spin about events. I watched a couple of primary races over the last couple of months on CNN and after a couple of hours I thought I would lose my mind! One guy must have said "lunch bucket blue collar worker" at least 25 times in 2 hours, and others all giving their insight on what was going on, what the outcomes would be, and laughingly after the results came in not one of them was correct. Now, I just click on internet headline news, get the latest minus the comments and use the television for other things like movies or cooking shows, QVC, anything but news!
Many hoped for her to be on the ticket
Sarah Palin's name has been discussed many times, but don't look to the regular news stations to hear about her. I selected her as my first choice for VP prior to this in an on-line poll.
I'm glad that some people will listen to what the woman has done and also offers before criticizing. Actually, she's accomplished more on paper than Obama has. Do a side-by-side comparison. And be prepared for all the DNC talking points, as you'll hear all of them on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NPR, etc. Then come back here and tell me I'm wrong about what these organizations say.
The DNC had first dibs at putting a woman on their ticket, so don't blame the RNC.
One last thing: She's not the insider politician that Obama claims to not be as he (selected) an insider for 30 years for his VP. The facts speak for themselves. I need no talking points, nor does the RNC.
i agree. It makes McCain look weak and
what a great leader he would make...McBush...
I agree. McCain was so funny I was splitting a gut.
O was funny, especially the great-grandfather comment and the meaning of his name. I thought McCain was really roasting rather well!
Wish it was a Thompson/Palin ticket
That would rock! Also glad to know I was listening to Fox last night so I guess I heard the whole thing.
Thompson gave an excellent speech. I do have more respect for McCain since hearing Thompson. Guess I should read JM's story before making any judgements - sorry folks its the liberal tendencies in me to judge people before I research and learn about them. But as they say... "I have seen the errors of my ways" and now will read before spewing.
If you really wanted to you would have put Clinton on the ticket.

I couldn't agree with you more!! I'm voting McCain for the same reason. nm

She has more executive experience than the #1 candidate on the other ticket...
she is, in fact, the only one of the 4 who has executive experience. SHE is not running for President. Obama IS. You decide where you would rather have limited experience, the #1 seat or the #2 seat. But of course i know the answer. ITs ok if he doesn't have any executive experience...after all, he has biden to fall back on, right?
As far as John McCain...he has more years of experience as a senator than Obama, he has years more experience in foreign policy than Obama, he does not bow to the Republican Party, Obama does bow to the Democratic party, McCain has bucked the Republican Party, Obama has never and I would guess will never buck the Democratic party, it is clear his first allegiance is there. Both McCain and Palin have demonstrated that their first allegiance is to the American people. She has an 80% favorability rating in Alaska...I am relatively sure 90% of Alaska is not Republican. Obama has never had an 80% rating...well except from NARAL, who gave him 100%. For me, McCain is more experienced and I want someone who is interested in what is best for me, not what is best for his political career and his all-important party.
John & Sarah - "Dream Ticket"
The Anti-Republican Republican Who is Really a Republican
The whole anti-Republican Republican ruse might have succeeded, were it not for the fact that McCain's rhetoric was at odds not merely with his own voting record - 90 percent with Bush - and his own Bush-on-steroids agenda.
Even as he was pledging to "change the way government does almost everything," the senator from Arizona announced his commitment to much, much more of the same.
He pledged to maintain endless occupations of distant lands that empty the U.S. Treasury of precious resources that might pay for infrastructue renewal, housing and job creations initiatives for hurting Americans.
He outlined trade and tax policies that would extend, rather than alter a failed economic status quo.
He reintroduced flawed proposals for health care, education and entitlement reforms that Americans have wisely rejected.
And he threatened to achieve "energy independence" by declaring:
"We will drill..."
"We'll drill..."
"More drilling..."
McCain's rhetoric was that of a liberated man declaring his independence from his party's failed president and corrupt Congresses.
But his platform was that of Republican candidate who, for all of his talk of reform, offers the crudest continuity to a country that is crying out for change.

Gourdpainter, I agree with you. So do most people since Obama is ahead of McCain.
McCain doesn't have any solutions except trying to get Palin to tear down Obama with her big mouth.
Even Geraldine Ferraro seemed happy about a female on the ticket!
She's a major democrat and still ticked at how HC was treated by her own party.
Same reasons I pulled straight democrat ticket.
make it through the House and Senate. No more shrub veto.
Obama/Biden ticket wins, more dems elected to congress...sm
and something will FINALLY get done.
I agree neither choice is great, but will vote McCain just as a vote against Obama. nm

Why are you McCain people so desperate? You are just like McCain. No plan. Just criticism of the
other candidate. I guess you want the same old thing we have had for the past 8 years. God forbid McCain win with that wild woman, Palin.
Republican
Are't you the one posting Democrat? Get over it. After all, thank God John Kerry's not in office, we'd all be dead.

Just an fyi...I am not a Republican. (nm)

Unfortunately, I'm not the other Me, by the way. I'm the republican me.
LOL
He was the only Republican of the 5....
and he and John Glenn were cleared of any wrongdoing.
The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).
After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".
All five of the senators involved served out their terms. Only Glenn and McCain ran for re-election, and they were both re-elected.
ANd by the way....I think Obama has the market cornered on bad judgment. lol.
So is all the one-way republican B.S.
Republican too
I am a Republican too, just don't get on politics board very often. I am praying McCain/Palin win for the sake of our country.
Since when has a Republican? (Unless you

I'm not republican....I'm just looking out for my
Unfortunately, I've come to realize the real reason for putting Obama in office has nothing to do with their pocketbook, which is all I heard for weeks, but it has to do only with the color of his skin. I've realized there are so many racists such as yourself on this board that care absolutely nothing about their country...only the color of this man's skin.
How sad for you
What does Republican have to do with it?
@@
I'm not republican but......
the only ones being had by Obama are the ones who voted for him........
that would be you, right? So you mean he played his own democratic party into believing he actually cared about the people of this country, isn't that what you meant? Republicans and independents knew he was lying all along. Too bad you didn't!
ROFL!
So tell me what does a republican look like
I'd like to know how you were able to tell the republicans from the democrats and independents. All three parties were at the rallies, and to me they all look like human beings to me. I couldn't tell one from the other. They all had 2 ears, a head, a body, and most of them had arms and legs (except for a few I would imagine). All I know is there were democrats, republicans, and independents there and they were all patriots. It was a day where parties were put aside and people talked about facts, not parties. Everyone who participated did not say it was one side or the others fault. They said it was both sides fault. This was not an anti-Obama rally, it was an anti-government rally. Didn't you read the signs? I guess not.
You think there are no black republicans. Guess you don't follow politics very closely. As for old and white. First, that is a racist comment. Second if you want to see old and white look at your lord's administration. Every time he has a photo op he is surrounded by old white man. No blacks, no hispanics, no nothing except for old white men. Boy, talk about racism.
As for you not seeing any black faces. Yeah, sure you didn't. Why don't you say something that sounds halfway like a truth.
This is complete and utter bu!!sh!t about it being an anti-Obama rally. This pity party poor us your all picking on us routine is so old.
There is no danger to your lord. The danger is the fear and paranoia being spewed by the left. The left wing media is like a person who yells fire in a theater when there is none and then whines when people call him on it.
Yes I have heard there are concentration camps here, but how true it is I don't know. I'd have to do more research on it.
But for Pete's sake, turn off Keith Oberfool, CNN (Communist News Network) and the other spew on BSNBC and watch some real news. There are many many channels to choose from. Listen to both sides. Not just spew from the hate filled and spiteful left.
And this "I saw no black faces in the crowds". Sorry, I don't buy it. By reading your post I'll bet you were not even watching any of it.
I think I said right off what a republican
convention looks like, old and white. So you have bought into the concentration camps here in America also, how sad. What is wrong with everyone? Oh, I saw some of the pictures from the teabaggers outing, not on any of the channels you name but on the internet and they are so just horrific. I saw no diversity in the pictures (by the way, Fox was the only channel that was playing any of the outing that day so that is where I watched about 5 minutes or so). In all my 60+ years and remembering as far back as Eisenhower, the country has never to me seemed so rabid, pure unadulturated hysteria. Just insane. People have the what if syndrome. Someone posted about what are you going to do in 2011. News flash- you might be dead. I know there are some black repubs but only a token few. Just does not fit into the picture of the good ole boys.
AND he's a Republican
.
Republican chant says it all!
Mercenary pro-war trolls chanting to Cindy Sheehan, shouting "We don't care! We don't care!" Well we knew that all along:)
republican baloney
Whew..have heard the right wing frightening baloney for years and years and dont want to hear it any more..cant wait till next year when the people vote their displeasure of the republicans..Gonna be party time..
A Day in the Life of a Republican
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because *some liberal* union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packingindustry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home or go hungry because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and hisbelow-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuckhis nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.
Joe agrees: We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.
