If McCain-Palin had won, what would America have looked like today?

We all know that Arizona Sen. John McCain is a war hawk. He is a neoconservative. I admire his service to the U.S., but he loves a lot of war. I believe in war when necessary.

That being said, if McCain-Palin had beaten Obama-Biden in 2008, what would America have looked like today? Would they have won reelection? President Palin?

Probably very similar to what things are now in terms of FP. As we are currently witnessing the President doesn’t control FP

No obamacare? Libya still a country? No migrant problem? No wise latina?<

All correct but you forgot to add Intercontinental World War III with land based ballistic missiles, submarine intercontineltal launched balllistic missiles and aircraft launched bombs by the side that launched first.

Air Force One would have crashed five times with him on board ... and he would have miraculously survived every crash.

His tenure as president would have come to an unfortunate end when he had his first official visit from an Asian head of state. He would have had a terrible flashback to the Hanoi Hilton and would have run away from the cameras babbling incoherently while men in white lab coats chased him down and hurried him away ... never to be seen again.

McCain wouldn’t have been worse (that’s almost impossible), but he wouldn’t have been a lot better, either.

It would make a good subject for a novel.

Call it, “Everyone should be POW”

That's funny because. it's McCain.
Back stabbin SOB McCain.
Bring back the draft, everyone should have an opportunity to be a POW, and I can say whatever I want about the president of my own party because, I was a POW McCain.
Reach-around McCain. Democrat media favorite.....etc.

The same because McCain is a new world order stooge and crypto-Democrat. Death can’t come soon enough for that POS.

Would conservatives be the force that we are? I doubt the tea party would be around...

Interesting to ponder. I'd like to go back 8 years. What if Al Gore had won? I think this country would have been better off had he won. Not that I like him, but I don't think he would have been that much more to the left of Bush, especially after 9-11. Gore probably would have won re-election in 2004. But I think a R would have won in 2008, and to that, we would be a lot better off in 2017.

So I guess I am saying Gore, some R, would have been better than Bush-0bama..

There would be no ISIS (Obama’s army).

I wish Palin where President, She is the only one I trust and agree with 98.5 percent of the time. She is the one who would not let us down.

Yes, I think that is very likely. And I say this as someone who still believes nuclear weapons should have been employed at Tora Bora, rather than putting our faith in Pakistani Muslims. McCain would make for a fascinating (and probably terrifying) psychological profile.

McLame hopefully would have died in office and President Palin would have had 7 years.

McCain would have been in Obama’s shoes on intel gathering, but impeachment would have been before end of 1st term. President Palin’s first public words, would have come out like her first public words for her Donald Trump promotion. Downhill from there. Hillary/Kerry would have won in 2012, giving us the worst administration ever, followed by a Trump landslide in 2016. Investigations would be underway on trillions of dollars missing from each Department, including the proceeds from a sale of 3 aircraft carrier battle groups to China during her dismantling of the Navy.
