McCain choses VP

[dbackjon]

Not to the level that the right is making it.

Mistakes? yes. Did Rice/Powell, etc do the same? yes. Does all electronic communication need better protection? Yes.

Were any secrets compromised? Only in the hearings by the GOP.

Well every time someone turns around there is another cache of emails that contain info requiring elevated security clearance...yeah nothing to it at all.

Again, you could do the same probing of Rice/Powell etc and find the same thing. Again, was it a mistake? Yup. Was it criminal? Nope.

Clinton, Rice, Powell.... one of these things is not like the other.

A coworker this morning - "Did you see that Palin is endorsing Trump? This whole campaign season looks like it is being written for a Saturday Night Live skit."

So. Fucking. What. Just because "someone else did it" doesn't make it right, and it sure as FUCK doens't excuse the criminality of it (and you're goddamned right it's criminal--and you know it).

meh. After the Plame thing its hard to get worked up about this stuff.

Look I'm not entrenched in either side as far as repubs or dems. The thing that I just find comical is the fact that because she is a woman it's the first thing that everybody latches on to as if it's a gimmick and she has nothing else. She is big on most of the points of emphasis that McCain has been railed on for not be conservative enough. She is anti abortion, pro gun, and big on religion, These are all areas that McCain is suspect on and by choosing her McCain bolsters his position with the Republicans. She will get SOME women that don't care about what her stances on the issues are as much as that she is a woman. There are not a lot of those type of women and also not a lot of the Hillary supporters Touting that as the reason for picking her is asinine. Yet it is what many people are thinking and using as an insult to him.

She has lowered property taxes as a mayor, she has managed a budget for the police force, the education system, and all of the other things that are required of an EXECUTIVE position. This is something than none of the other candidates have done. Her experience compared to the Presidential nomination for the Dems is superior and yet those that are going for Obama are bringing up the experience question? You have to be **** kidding me. She has also worked across the aisle in Alaska and has gotten things done by working with both dems and repubs in Alaska. She has ACTUALLY done a lot of the things Obama says he is going to do.

I think she has a lot of the attributes of Bobby Jindal, and I would have like to see him get the nod but he said he wouldn't take it. The fact that she is as close to Jimdal as I have seen in candidates for the vp position and she is an attractive woman makes her seem like a decent choice to me.

You very well may be missing something Mark and you should wait a couple of weeks because we will learn much, much more about the lady and she is charming motherfucker so give the unknown a chance to become a known and I will bet that you will like what you see. She is a lot more like the common man with common sense than anybody else on either ticket.

Some overlooked gems in this thread - good job, Jon!

Indeed, it's still a work of art. Loved this whole thread that night, one of the better couple days on CS for this sort of stuff.

It is absolutely ASTOUNDING what Donks will look past and excuse just to get their guy (and don't kid yourself, Hildabeast IS a guy) in the White House. They say Republicans are the "Party of Personal Accountability" and when it comes to presidential politics, it's true (with Trump apparently holding a "get out of jail free" card)....one minor issue (say, like closing a lane on a bridge) and they spout off about how that just kills that particular person's chances of becoming president. But a DONK, no problem. They can get ambassadors killed, purposely leak classified info by using a non-government server, etc., etc., and those precious Donks STILL support their candidate.

Be honest. They had you at Hot and Female.

Yeah, but when that hot female is a CONSERVATIVE!!! Stop the fvckin' presses, fellas! This race is offically OVER! HRC is gonna be pissed as HELL if McCain dies in office and Palin is the first female president of the country!

Wait....wasn't there a TV show about this?

Lets see....Palin vs Geena Davis. I'll take Palin.

Suitable for the CS hall of fame! Thanks jon!!

I had forgotten about your lust for Bobby Jindal since you weren't singing his praises this time around.

Hey now. I'd STILL plow her into next week given the opportunity.

Yeah, I think I got over that lust back in 08 or 09. I hardy ever jerk off to him anymore.

Alaska Gov. Palin.

John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate, two senior campaign officials told The Associated Press on Friday

I had to read the thread again for inspiration, being as it shows what we're capable of when we all pull together. One of the great lead in lines of all time, and note the subtle way that 'nez writes the title in dialect....
