Palin Pick = GOP will focus on Abortion and Traditional Values
They can't run on the last 8 years

They can't run on the economy

They can't run on being the outsiders changing DC

They can't run on terror -- it's been 7 years since 9-11; why haven't they fixed it

Gays, god, and guns are all they're left with. They will go hard on traditional values and ending abortion. That will be their central focus.

1. True--they have gone back to God, guns, and gays
because they can't win on anything else. God help them if they ever tried to debate the issues.

2. I don't know. According to Wikipedia, Palin was once a drug-user...
"She admits that she used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska, but says that she did not like it."

:rofl:

4. Traditional values?
Palin went back to work 3 days after giving birth to a Down Syndrome baby. Their going after Hillary Clinton's ambition is going to bite them in the ass.

6. There's gotta be naked pics and porn movies of her somewhere.
No way in hell is her image as squeeky clean as she's being billed.

10. Values don't mean squat when you're freezing to death this winter
because you can't afford to buy heating oil.

14. To many, it does.
McCain's only chance is getting the support from his base. With them, it's a very close election he could pull out. Without them, it's a blowout for the Democrats.

He's not going for the Democrats or middle of the road voters, he's going after the base now.

13. Not so fast
What it insures is that the 20% of which you speak will

- raise money (in buckets)

- organize (abortion foes are hellishly good political organizers)

- not vote for Bob Barr or simply not show at the polls


This will get people like James Dobson on board with McSame.

15. They're already on board. This doesn't add any numbers to McCain's base.

18. I for one welcome the debate this time
Abortions are reportedly up during Bush (due to his faith based "abstinence-only" BS) and "traditional values"? Hmmm.......The GOP is running an avowed adulterer and apparent gold-digger (or whatever the male equivalent is) for POTUS and may be running an ex-Beauty Queen who is (according to RW standards) clearly putting her career as Governor ahead of her 5 children (one of whom is disabled) and is currently under investigation for corruption significant enough to possibly result in her impeachment.

VS.

Obama/Biden

Sure, let the debate rip!!!!
