    Real reason McCain chose Palin

    The guy I heard this from can't remember where he heard it, and it was probably meant as a joke, but I am not so sure...

    It was in response to Obama choosing Biden,
    McCain wanted the fight to be fair so he chose a running mate that could match wits on an even par with Biden....
    Education is expensive, ignorance is costly.

    Each generation should have more opportunities than the last, but not at the expense of the next.

    Palin demonstrated that all she could match Biden with was a snappy personal comeback, she is nowhere near his league in intellect or comprehension of facts.

    You must be completely terrified of Obama.

    You lack lust; you're so lackluster. Is that all the strength you can muster?

    Palin certainly is a step above Cindy in looks...

    Re: Real reason McCain chose Palin

    The reason why McCain chose Palin to me, was because when Hilary Clinton didn't get the Dem nomination for Pres, he was hoping to capitalize with a woman VP that was a conservative.

    That doesn't mean McCain was a bad person for it, he was trying to capitalize like any politician on a situation at hand.

    I actually thought it was a good move at the time for him.

    Yeah because the last one did such a good job of maintaining our economy, our surplusses and our standing in the world as a leader.
