The Dems crossed over in the primaries to get McCain in because they thought he would be weakest. We MUST stop allowing the Dems to cross over in the primaries!

Sheer imbecility. Without Palin McCain would have lost in a genuine landslide, as the GOP base would have stayed home or voted for Barr. In fact, if the financial crisis hadn’t displaced high oil prices as the central issue of the campaign, she might have carried Mac over the finish line.

I still want to know whether Soros, Buffet or any pro-Obama hedge-fund managers have their fingerprints on the timing of the crisis. Were financial companies dumped, or even short sold, by pro-Obama folks with deep pockets in order to trigger the crisis? I think it would have happened eventually anyway, but as the left is fond of saying, the timing is suspicious.

I’m troubled by the Cindy McCain and “lover” pictures. Is that for real or a “Photo Shop” deal?

You are correct in that I should have said “statements like this” rather than “articles like this.”

“I hate it when people like you” choose to personalize your comments when you really don’t know what I did. There is really no need to insult people unless that makes you feel superior.

No more than your poor choice of words made you look like YOU were insulting people. But, if you really didn’t mean to attack what I posted and only and a poor choice of words, I can admit if my piquant reply was misplaced. If I am corrected, I can admit a mistake.

mclame got a lot more votes BECAUSE he picked Sarah. She was a FABULOUS pick!

He was a pathetic candidate otherwise.

I don't see where you got that I was insulting anyone, but if it came across that way, I apologize. I am frustrated by the media drumbeat to embed ideas into the public mindset about any conservative that dares to raise their voice. Palin is seen as a threat, and so the accusations will continue until to public is tired of hearing about it by 2012.

They did it with Delay, Bush, Gingrich, Cheney, Haliburton, “Big Oil,” “Big Tobacco,”... in time, they can make anyone out to be incompetent, evil, or ignorant in the eyes of the public by simply repeating the accusations over and over. Eventually, even supporters can grow weary of it and start looking somewhere else.

I think it is going to take a strong conservative to show up on the public radar about 12-18 months before the 2012 elections to have a chance to win so that they can't be smeared for quite as long, and the public won't already be tired of them come election day.

I have read some exit polling that indicates McLame would of lost by 15% if it had not been for Sarah. I think that number is low.

In your last, I agree 100%. I am also sick of the media telling us who we should pick as our leaders!

If you would, explain that comment as it makes no sense at all.
