Excellent idea, Pavy, glad we're on the same page with this. Turnkey the very worst repeat offenders, farm 'em out to countries as a condition of aid from the US.

They're all used car salesmen, and we're the suckers left driving (and paying for) the lemon on the lot.Comment -
I'm not really the voting type but I always considered myself more a Republican, although I think this present administration really dampened peoples faith in a lot of things and might hurt them reelection time for the foreseeable future. At least until some new faces arrive. I like the sounds of this Miss Alaska more than I do McCain to be honest.Comment -
Personally I would have liked McCain to chose Romney, because of his understanding of the economy, but she seems like a decent choice.Comment -

With McCains health concerns she seems like a real odd pick. Does he want people picturing the possibility of someone so inexperienced running the country? She might be great but there isn't much time to earn that kind of confidence. My bet...Clinton fans will see through it and it backfires.Comment -
I never even said to kill mloesters. Just be tough on them. Stop feeling sorry for them and trying to get them rehabed. There is no cure. Is there a cure for being gay? Of course not. These people see kids and get excited. No fix for that! Why are liberals willing to put all of society at risk in order to save this one molester? Its sick pacifist bullshit! I was talking about the liberal judges who are soft on them. Again, why do liberals care more about the rightsOriginally posted by michael777agree 100%

Is there a cure for being gay? Since when being gay requires a cure.Comment -
I don't get it. We have heard chatter about experience for a month, and now McCain picks a VP candidate who has been the governor of Alaska for two years, and whose only real experience before that was as mayor of a town of less than 10,000 people ('96 to '02). In a few months she could be the vice president of the USA, behind the oldest president to ever take office (if I'm not mistaking). Mind boggling.Comment -
A couple of random thoughts on Sarah Palin:
- Try to find a picture of her pregant. How can you run a state and have a baby and not have one picture of you taken with a big pregnant belly?
- This is going to get very strange.Comment -
It seems alot of people are linking her to big oil. Well, yes she can be linked to big oil. She has fought them and now taxes the heck of them - so much so that the state has a surplus!
As for the lack of experience, I agree since she ran a state government for only 2 years and had to deal with the Russian fly overs. However, I would refer to have the lack of experience be the VP rather then the head of the ticket.Comment -
bleuze. I have continued researching, and I see what you mean. She has, indeed, raised taxes on them, and has fought with them a bit. Thanks for pointing that out. I stand corrected, and will edit my last post to take out point two.
That said, though, it's clear she will support seriously expanded exploration and drilling, which, I think, is the biggest issue for the oil industry.
Here's what you'll see in the mainstream media (this one from the AP today):

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Democrats are probably cobbling together the campaign
ad right now: "John McCain's running mate is for big oil and against the
environment," a somber voice intones as cute baby polar bears scamper
across the screen.
If McCain hoped to stop Democrats from getting much mileage out of the
oil issue in this presidential election, he picked the wrong vice
presidential candidate.
His choice, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, comes from a state whose lifeblood
is oil. Palin favors opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil
and gas development, something McCain opposes. Her family even gets one
of its paychecks from the oil industry: Palin's husband, Todd Palin,
earned $46,790 last year as a facility operator for BP Alaska in Prudhoe
Bay.
Oil and natural gas and the jobs they create are part and parcel of life
in Alaska: "If you are not for opening ANWR, in the state of Alaska, you
couldn't get elected dogcatcher," says former Alaska state Rep. Ray
Metcalfe, a Republican-turned-Democrat who supports Democratic
presidential nominee Barack Obama and anticipates Palin's critics will
probably zero in on the oil drilling issue.
But that live-off-the-land culture is largely foreign to voters in the
lower 48, who are paying high gas prices without the benefit of the oil
royalty dividend checks that Alaskans get each year. Eligible Alaskans
received $1,654 each in 2007.
Palin is so pro-energy that she actually praised Obama earlier this
month for calling on the United States to work with the Canadian
government to build an Alaska natural gas pipeline.
"I am pleased to see Sen. Obama acknowledge the huge potential Alaska's
natural gas reserves represent in terms of clean energy and sound jobs,"
Palin said in a press release put out by her office, though she wasn't
entirely in favor of Obama's energy plan. She questioned his proposal to
impose a windfall profits tax on oil companies to provide a taxpayer
rebate, saying such taxes prevent oil companies from investing more in
domestic production.Comment -
By the way sportsfans, here she is in 1982, playing point.
This is a plus.Comment -
this chick was the mayor of a town of 8k less than 2.5 yers ago
this is insaneComment -

So if McCain somehow gets ill and is incapacitated to be commander in chief your telling me this hot looking governor is the next president. This is insanity. Valdimar Putin and every other world leaders would completely eat this lady out. I think the republicans just lost the presidential race because of this pick.Comment -
Only the ignorant believe that if you're for expanding oil exploration then you must not care one bit about the environment. Do we need to also be looking into and developing 'green energy' alternatives? Yes, but opening up more oil & gas exploration in this country can also help us in the short term get away from so much dependency on foreign oil without being a huge burden on the environment.
It's a race to see how many idiots Obama and McCain can line up before Nov 4. Just remember my friends, if you follow the ewe with the bell around its neck long enough, you will wind up in a pen and the slaughterhouse.Comment -
Welcome to the proud to be American club!Originally posted by michael777agree 100%

Opening for more oil exploration in the US will reduce our dependency to foreign oil by 1%. Requiring car manufacturers to increase engine efficiency by 10% (2-3 miles per gallon) will reduce our dependency to foreign oil by 10%.Comment -
i am curious, if they drill for oil will it not go to the highest bidder? why would the loving folks at exxon lower the price to sell to the usa? why would china not want the oil , or india, etcComment -
I suppose we can force Exxon to give the oil to the US for below market prices. We have the military power to force them to surrender all Alaskan oil to the american public at below market prices. What will they do? Sell it to the Russians and the Chinese? We can call them traitors and freeze their assets for selling oil to the enemy. Patriot Act my friend at your service.Comment -
no way, the gop likes free markets
they would never do such a htingComment
