His first executive decision, and he failed. Massively.

[redqueen]

Palin is simply not qualified to handle the challenges this country is facing, and he wants to put her a heartbeat away from the presidency.

[IndianaJones]

1. she's a cougar, huh? nt.

[Captain Hilts]

5. She has a young boy toy?

[IndianaJones]

8. they need more than one up in Alaska...long nights up there.nt.

[Captain Hilts]

10. I'm confused by your 'cougar' reference...please to explain. nt

[IndianaJones]

13. your first response. nt.

[Captain Hilts]

14. I thought she was married. nt

[IndianaJones]

what does that have to do with being a cougar? nt

[Captain Hilts]

19. Good point...

[Captain Hilts]

2. Christmas came early this year.

Go Reds!

[redqueen]

38. ...

:hi:

[WeDidIt]

3. Especially when it would be HIS heart that's beating!

WORST. POLITICAL. MISTAKE EVER!!!

[redqueen]

41. Yes... his age and health bring her unfitness for the job to the forefront. (nt)

[terrya]

4. Agreed.

[Vinca]

6. Exactly right. This is McBush bad judgement on steroids . . .

or testosterone. Wonder how the Ice Princess is with this?

[redqueen]

11. Nice of him to provide an example of Obama's point about his judgment so quickly, hm?

:)

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

30. My thoughts, exactly.

Palin is naturally atractive and is young. Will the Ice Princess have issues with that ?

[backscatter712]

7. FRESH MEAT!!!

Biden's gonna destroy her...

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. McCain's temperament and judgement on who can be commander in chief

Is now in question, Obama nailed it last night.

[crazylikafox]

18. Yup, u beat me to it. Obama nailed it

We knew he didn't have the TEMPERAMENT to be Pres, but now he's confirmed that he doesn't have the JUDGEMENT either.

I just heard someone on MSNBC say that McClueless likes a crap shoot. That he's doing this because he thinks he's not getting enough media attention, NOT because he cares whether Palin is equipped to be Pres. I'm honestly beginning to think that the man really is getting senile. Or he's like a teenager that thinks he's immortal.

[VolcanoJen]

12. This is exactly how we should portray it.

First Executive decision, and John McCain panics. This country is in two wars, our economy is in the crapper, the world is dangerous and gasoline is $4 a gallon. McCain's choice is not a serious one, it's a gimmick, it's a novelty.

It's embarrassing, frankly.

[redqueen]

15. I wonder how Kay Bailey Hutchison or Ileana Ros-Lehtinen feel about this.

At least they're qualified... I wonder if they think Palin got the pick based on looks. Sad and yes, very embarrassing.

[VolcanoJen]

20. Imagine this: Photos of Joe Biden in Georgia, in Iraq, in Afghanistan....

... and a photo of Sarah Palin in Moosejaw, Alaska.

McCain has got to be freaking kidding me!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

[redqueen]

22. It's truly beyond belief...

:wtf:

[Captain Hilts]

21. It's known in DC KBH would like to sit in the Big Chair. She's actually qualified...

unlike whatsherface Palin.

[redqueen]

35. I feel for her this morning.

I don't agree with her on damn near anything... but she has my empathy.

[Captain Hilts]

36. yeah, me too. nt

[roguevalley]

39. after reading some of this board, redqueen, I feel it a little too

:) Alaska is a lot better place than some of its politicians. this was a stunt and she is damned game. don't underestimate her. The pugs up here did and she eviscerated them.

[redqueen]

40. No need to underestimate her to know she's far from qualified...

she said herself she doesn't even know what the job entails... how could she possibly be ready to be president immediately?

[roguevalley]

42. she isn't but she's EXTREMELY wiley and tricked a lot of smarter

people straight out of their shoes.

[redqueen]

44. Oh... did you think I felt empathy for *her*?

Hah, no... I meant KBR... because she's actually qualified, but alas, 21 years older.

[roguevalley]

45. ah... thanks for the clarification. this is so weird. No one cares

about alaska unless our zoo polar bear eats a tourist or something. :-D I'm not used to the attention. :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

46. Hahahahaha...

I care about Alaska! I used to want to live there. :)

[goodhue]

16. Indeed

that's not change we can count on

[redqueen]

48. Why do I read that as being said in McCain's voice?

[Danascot]

17. Yeah, but she was Miss Wasilla

so there

[redqueen]

23. Well if Miss Wasilla was qualified for the job, then it wouldn't be the same.

Trouble is, she's not. FAR from it.

[Greyskye]

24. AND Miss Congeniality

...according to NPR this morning. Yep, that's a gap in McLame's resume that she's filling! :rofl:

[npincus]

25. Strike a pose!

Vogue!

[redqueen]

26. McCain must have a very low opinion of women,

if he thinks they'll come flocking in droves to vote for an unqualified Republican woman, considering they have Kay Bailey Hutchsion available.

[Ikonoklast]

27. Palin was Cheney's pick

McCain's health fails, Darth can easily control Palin.

Think about it.

[redqueen]

28. Ugh.

Looking at her record in AK, it seems she's not so easily pushed around. But yeah, you have a point.

[vaberella]

32. That's what ran through my head. n/t

[cliffordu]

29. DING DING DING!!!! WE have a winner!!

[redqueen]

33. ...

:hi:

[cliffordu]

37. ....

:hi:

[invictus]

31. McCain is an idiot.

nt

[redqueen]

34. Senator McCain seemed all right. But Candidate McCain? Yeah... idiot. (nt)

[WA98296]

43. I agree. His cute trick is not ready to be president on day one. Huge mistake.

[redqueen]

47. Oooooh

Interesting choice of words there.

:P
