One of the most important tools when deciding on what type of business loan your company needs is research. Researching the different types of loans available to you and your company can save you money. First, look into the different type of business l...

She wants to teach creationism in school, drill for oil in the ANWR, and doesn't believe in safe-sex teaching. Those alone would make me not vote for her, because she doesn't seem to see a problem with those stances.

Among all other things going on, what everyone is being distracted from is the fact that she's basically another person who, if she was elected, is deadset on trying to prove that a bunch of things that failed before are going to work this time.

She's another big crappy dunce who thinks her religion and her personal beliefs have anything to do with our lives. Even if she had thirty years' experience governing five different states at the same goddamn time while juggling fourteen kids fed solely on mooseburgers, she'd still be some big crappy dunce who thinks condoms are evil and the world has only existed for a few thousand years. Perspective!

There will always be plenty of people who are very, very qualified for the position and will still tremendously screw up. Experience is relative; that doesn't matter so much to me in this election....It's just the fact that a lot of things about this choice have caused the GOP to have to backtrack on all those things they said about Hillary and Obama just makes it really funny. It's not a deciding issue for me, though.

I don't think the cynicism will come from the actual choice of Palin, Od. I think it will come from all the spin surrounding the choice from people that knew who they were going to vote for before this choice was made. Those in the center, not from either party will likely give her a fair shake.

I agree, I think its too early to say how she'll do, and most unaligned people will give her a chance. For most unpolitical people her credentials sound pretty similar to Obama's (senator about equivalent to governor, both young and new to politics), and I think attempts by either side to spin the differences in their favor is going to be interpreted as hypocritical.

Splitting hairs is fun for people interested in politics, but most people think its just the usual partisan nonsense.

Well, let's put it this way; I've never met you, even for 15 minutes. And yet, I know you ... apparently better than you're comfortable with.

Of course you do bit, of course you do. So answer a few simple questions.

What is my wife's name?
What is my favorite band?
What do I do for a living?
What city do I live in?
What do I look like?

Even casual acquaintances can answer at least 2 or 3 of these, so it should be a snap for you, since you know me.

In reality, you have a very (very!) limited picture of me based on single subject postings on a blog, postings that are generally made when I am distracted by more important things.

So, in reality, you do not know me at all, except perhaps, by the standard McCain employs to decide if someone is ready to be President.

So you are changing your tune and admitting he does not know Palin. As for her being vetted, duh.

Two days in and shes made the jump? Thats a good one bit, you should do comedy. So far, she is in the honeymoon zone.

With all the crap thrown at her from the left and you consider this a honeymoon? Liberal definitions and redefinitions never cease to be a source of amaze, being they seemingly change at need.

No, but it does tend to suggest she's on the list because she's been vetted.

So you are changing your tune and admitting he does not know Palin. As for her being vetted, duh.

Based on the public appearances she's already made, I would have to say the former.

Two days in and shes made the jump? Thats a good one bit, you should do comedy. So far, she is in the honeymoon zone. Of course you will spin it as best you can, but I have heard quite a few comments along the lines of "she will probably be ok as long as they don't let her talk". So we both have our partisan viewpoint. Your claiming that she has proven herself ready for prime time only shows that you might be better off sticking to analysis back in double A...

So what is dripping from where?

I'll see that and raise you.

Careful,those mines tend to be not very forgiving.

So if you have someones name on a list it means you know them?

No, but it does tend to suggest she's on the list because she's been vetted.

Thats true. Some people make the jump. Some crash and burn. We will know which category she is in soon enough.

Based on the public appearances she's already made, I would have to say the former. BY the way, I'd urge a visit to Flopping Aces, who deals with the supposed 'inexperience' nonsense very well indeed.

But it is obvious.

Oh, I dunno. What is obvious is taht the most obvious point about it, got by you.

If the plan is for her to go out there everyday and thank HRC and mention the 18 million cracks line, it will wear old quickly and will reek of a political stunt which can be easily squashed by a single press release from HRC.

However, if she goes in and speaks formidably and articulately about family values, work/life balance, and energy as both a domestic economic issue and a national security issue, she wont have to mention disaffected HRC voters. For those supporting McCain/Palin, lets hope its the latter, and I think Palin gets it, so lets hope the McCain campaign gets out of the way.

and who doesn't recall Palin's name being on the list of possibles all through this process.

So if you have someones name on a list it means you know them? McCain met Palin once. He does not know her. His staff may have vetted her, he may have read briefs on her, but, he does not know her.

I seem to recall Bubba and the Peanut Farmer having a bit of success with that transition. And W, lest we forget. All of these cane from the same position in each of their respective states.

Thats true. Some people make the jump. Some crash and burn. We will know which category she is in soon enough.

If that was supposed to be an overwhelming argument, you should know it comes up just a bit short.

Its not supposed to be overwhelming. But it is obvious. Time will tell if she is an asset or a liability. And you endless tripe about fear and loathing amongst Democrats is, well, tripe. But it is kind of like jerking off, if it makes you feel good, why not?
