the stereotypes about americans are all true.

i witnessed them on Friday night in action. from about 100 feet away.

a handful of navy guys got hauled off by the cops at a campsite on cape hatteras for starting a drunken fight with the campsite next to them. one of their mothers was with them. real respectable.

October 2 is the VP debate. I know we'll all be watching. I expect to see plenty of mud slinging and venom, but I'm hoping to see the true colors of both sides. Palin does have a miss congeniality title to uphold after all.

but, as johndoe mentioned... most of us wont switch sides based on a debate. I can't have someone imposing their beliefs on me any more than I can mine on them.

Foreign dependency well extends beyond just oil. We live in a globalized economy.

From "The Post-American World:"
"Generations from now, when historians write about these times, they might note that by the turn of the 21st century, the United States had succeeded in its great, historical mission-globalizing the world. We don't want them to write that long the way, we forgot to globalize ourselves."

Why go to the grocery store and buy beef, when I can raise cattle myself?

We all have our own specialties. We just need to remember and redefine what ours actually are.

That wasn't my point really. Her degree and credentials don't even express the slightest knowledge of what it takes to be a VP.

I prefer my p and vp have a comprehensive knowledge of Politics and foreign relations.

Of course this is skewed because I myself am a political sci major, but honestly the things that are learned in say a class like comparative politics, are huge.

The extent of her traveling includes Kuwait and Germany. Makes you think maybe she has a pretty fucked up idea what the world looks like. Most likely a modern day T-O map with the good ole US of A at the center.

There is no state income tax NOR state sales tax in Alaska.

yet alaska has the 3rd highest per capita revenue in the nation.

so all those expenses she cut? who benefits? who doesn't have to pay for them?

oil companies.

She's so good to us!

Population Density - 1.16 people per Square Mile
Rhode Island

Come On --- No one populates Alaska. But, it has a huge PIPELINE!

Im not bashing education so dont take it that way but you can have all the education in the world, it still dosent make you a leader. Im still waiting for you to tell me what experiences Obama has that has proven he can run a country. Give me something/anything.



Yea, because voting for who would make a better drinking buddy in the last 2 elections really worked out great for us all didn't it?

Back to the original question.

Not.

1st vice president nominee in the history of the country that could get me all hot and bothered.

For me the Vice picks don't matter nearly as much as the top of the tickets. Comparing Obama and McCain, here are the stats that matter...


Obama. Goes to Harvard, good looking, well spoken, political acheiver, writer. Best he can do is marry an angry black woman?

McCain. Military school, military career, medal of valor, moves into politics to continue service of the country. Marries a mega hot mega rich natural blonde!

Winner. McCain.

She'd be the 1st hot 1st lady since Kennedy was in the white house. Michelle Obama looks good but she also looks like she'd break your junk off and kill you with it.

Pretty sure I didnt say that. Im simply saying that having a BA from an Ivy league school does not quality you for the job. Everyone here is bashing Palin, which is fine but nobody has given any factual proof that Obama is any better. He just isnt!

I also find it funny that everyone is comparing Obama to Palin. Palin isnt running for President, McCain is. So the comparisons should be Palin/Biden and McCain/Obama. Tell me why Biden is any better than Palin. What if something happens to Obama? Is Biden fit to run this country?
