McCain could have one last roll of the dice and sack Palin. It would show that he's got the ability to make tough decisions, and with a half-decent VP he might just stand half a chance.

I don't think it is gonna get any better for McCain. Either the women go for palin or they don't, I think beyond Palin we are out of good republicans. Ooh time for the broom I guess.
I think Palin is a joke of a running mate. Her answers with interviews that should have been easy to answer, were a total strugle. McCain has proven he is unfit to be President with his weak narrow minded campaign, and picking a a person with no brain to serve as his possible replacement. That isnt Country First, its Campaign First. Its scary that he could allow someone like Palin to be that close to be the President, One thing I give to the Republicans, they can take someone whether its Bush, McCain, Palin, and make them look like they are awesome.
If you think the Republicans don't have anyone better than Palin, then your party is an absolute joke. You betcha.
Great photo of Obama shinning shoes, proving once again that half of our country is getting dumber by the day.
The good Republicans jumped ship awhile back and left the disgraced name to the fringe players.Quote:

Jag look at it this way - we were brilliant voting for GWB. Now the entire congress is exposed. We have a chance to run all of these ______s out of office and bring in some new blood. Obama has had his hand so far up freddie and fannies ass that it will stink forever. The amazing thing to me this with all the TRUTH about obama's history how in the hell can this guy ever run for the highest office in our country. Yes the time for change should begin now with a total sweep of congress and a new impeachment bill that would remove unwanted politicians in 90 days.Quote:

I can only guess that they are less-than-well-informed and incapable of making political decisions without being told what to think by one side or the other. The level of debate is scarily low.
Let's face it, many, many people are confused regarding their opinions on economic and other issues at the moment, leading the major political parties to have confused positions. We are seeing this in the UK at the moment. It is, in part, the sort of fiscal greed and lack of proper regulation that the Conservatives espoused for so long and Labour then did little to reverse that has got us into our current mess. Will this stop people voting Conservative? No! Should we believe that the Conservatives are now a left-wing party when it comes to economic policies and have disowned this element of their past? I don't think so.Quote:

If it were, then ideal ticket would be Obama/Palin as they both come across much more likable than McCain or Biden.
But it ain't suppose to be a popularity contest.
GWB is cut from the same cloth as is the current bunch of Obama and McCain, pure and simple, when it comes to the real problems of this country and this world.
So no matter who gets there, as the Who said,
"we won't get fooled again, no no.......Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"
So whoever gets elected, when he starts to be sworn in, that should be the theme song.
GWB is nothing like Obama nor is Obama anything like Bush.Quote:
