Palin will make no difference in this administration. Her advice will be ignored by the old man.
McCain is a conservative how????
My worries about the Supreme Court realized.
Every President does this. And Sarah Palin will be the most influential VP since Dick Cheney. And this is no time to be putting out bad vibes.
With Palin sitting next to him, McNutjob will have to be VERY careful. Besides SOME dems - like Liebermann - would be good in the right spopt - like Secretary of State or Defense or Ambassador to the U.N.
AND if McNutjob can’t finish his term - Palin will make a GREAT President.
Well, he owes Leiberman... If he means putting Ted Kennedy on the bench - that’s different.
This is a political bone. Like when Clinton appointed Senator Cohen. It is a mile wide statement and an inch deep.
Besides there are some capable Democrats and there are some jobs that don’t have a Rat philosophy as being a threat. As long as their general philosophy agrees with the old man, they can have a job somewhere.
Frankly, it probably means Joe Lieberman gets a reward for standing by his friend at the Republican convention. It’s the last job he’ll probably get.
Have no fear the McCain worshippers will be along to inform you that they’ve seen the light and the light is McCain.
Palin comes with a price.
Which mean Joe Lieberman will get a cabinet position, big deal.
Maybe this is a sop to the Democrat controlled Senate that will be confirming these appointees.
I think that Lieberman might be a good pick for Foggy Bottom. Hell, on the important foreign policy issues (Israel, middle east, etc), he is right on. It will also keep him outta domestic policy for years, and be a sop to the Democrats.
Plus, there are about 15 worthless “cabinet” posts that could be given to dems that have no power at all.
People should relax. He is going to make Liberman Secretary of State or something. I dont agree with him on domestic politics but he has been stronger than many republicans on foreign policy.
McCain trying to lock in the independent vote and maybe pull along some MOR Dems. Probably a smart thing for him to signal at this point.
But look which priority he put first. “Energy Independence”. We have been hearing this a lot these last couple of days. This angle must be playing well, as well it should. Less dependence on foreign energy sources is key to our economic security as well as national security. Another advantage Palin brings to the ticket.
And as it turns out, the energy independence argument is his best line of defense against Dems who blame the Republicans for the economic problems.
Why not trust the ‘rats to haul his trash while he’s at it? They are so trustworthy after all... /s I much prefer the Reagan approach. When he needed a doctor he tried to make sure he was getting a Republican.
By putting America first and party politics second?
Whether you like it or not, more Americans are Democrat than Republican.
The current far-Left Democrat Party is leaving millions of American Democrats to the right of them and you see no value in welcoming those Reagan Democrats to our side. All you seem to care about is whether or not an American has a (D) or an (R) after their name.
Why? Why pledge such an absurdity? What is to be gained by it?
It is so imperative that we pick up some seats in the Congress this time around.
Unfreakingbelievable - just when he has his party reved up and ready to vote for him - he opens his stupid mouth and puts his foot in it.
Note for McLame: Dont talk about how you love democrats more than conservatives. Dont talk about how you hate the hard working American and love the Mexican Illegal Alien. Dont talk about how you sat on your hands and said nothing when you voted in the affirmative for the most liberal SCOTUS Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
This is McLames election to lose - and Ill be damned if he hasnt started to lose it.
One more question, how often to dems state they will put Republicans on thier cabnet?
The enemy is within, liberals pose more of a threat to America than AlQueda.
Remember bipartisan is when RINO’s surrender alleged principals.
I bet that CBS put this out just to target conservatives concerned about McCain.
He should appoint Democrats Senators from states with Republican governors.
