It's wise for the liberal media to keep Sarah Palin in the headlines,
makes her more money so she can afford things such as a stretch hummer.

And it keeps Obama failures out of the news, funny how that works.

Pure coincidence, I assure you.

Nonsense. Those on the left feared this airhead could be 1 heartbeat away from the nuke buttons...THAT the right didn't have the decency to take the time to vet someone in such an incredibly important position enraged and unified their disdain for her and everything she stands for...

Then she drooled all over herself and made an ass of McCain and the republican party.

You couldn't be further from the truth.

I would suggest that the Democrat Party shouldn't raise the issue of vetting a candidate ... people who live in glass houses, and all that stuff.

Yup, and we didn't have boots on the ground until the last half of the 60s. We were there, more or less administratively, but that's about it.

If you want to think that, no worries for me. Most people knew that he lost the election because of the economic meltdown, which is why he lost an election he may have had a chance to win. She got him more votes than she lost him.

So what? I know what transcripts are. There is no reason to post a students academic record on the wall. Test scores yes, but transcripts no. You loose.

Be happy, college transcripts are no longer public but they use to be.

I disagree. Sarah Palin was a walking, talking screw up. She was an absolute nightmare from the moment she opened her mouth. When she was given interviews, she babbled and went on and on, and made herself look terrible.

While I agree that McCain didn't have the best chance of getting elected simply because he was on the heels of Bush, she absolutely killed any chance he had to win. Nobody wanted him to die of a heart attack, and she take over.

Okay, we have to disagree. I know otherwise.

I stand corrected. Was never required to write a senior thesis or anyone I know. My bad.

However I'd still like to see that thesis of Obama's that you Or someone else said was so dismal. How did you access it? Do you have a link?
Click to expand...

It was somebody else.

I would rather see Obama's application for a foreign student loan when he was attending Occidental.

You are aware that Barack Obama was a British subject and a Kenyan citizen at birth because his father was a Marxist British subject and Kenyan citizen. Something to do with the Law of Nations and English Common Law.

Obama also attended a school in Indonesia where Indonesian citizenship was required to attend that particular school. For some strange reason, those records can't be found either.

Maybe Obama had quad citizenship ?

You probably want to mention that to the 2500 troops that died prior to 1965.

I know the 70's very well thank you having graduated from high school in 1975. It was the 60's that were a bitch to be in the military. You're off by a decade.

The only thing about the U.S. military that was a bitch during the 60's were squat thrust and haircut regulations. Otherwise no biggie.

Since I was a member of the military in both the 60s and 70s, I can assure you that you couldn't be more wrong.

The rape of the military by Carter, in the 70s, coupled with the general disdain of the military by the American public, made serving very difficult. I was one of the military members who came through SF Airport in 1973, and was verbally and physically attacked by citizens of my own country. When military members are advised to not wear their uniforms in their home town, or to not disclose their place of employment on a rent application, it's tough ... then, to go to work, and not have the supplies necessary to do your job because Carter had gutted the DoD budget .. to have to buy my own uniforms, because there weren't any left in Supply ...

I'll take the 60s anytime - even including my two tours in VN.

Not that I know if Obama benefitted from Affirmative Action or not, but what does your post have to do with what he said? All POTUS candidates' running mates were tapped to help the campaign. That isn't "affirmative action" by any means. And if tapping a woman is Affirmative Action by your definition, what about Geraldine Ferraro? Do you think a 6 term Congresswoman from Queens was the "very best and the very brightest" the Democrats had in their stable in 1984? Do you think she was a household name before she accepted the offer (hint - she wasn't)?
Click to expand...

When you tap someone to be a VP candidate BECAUSE she is a woman or because of any number of other factors unrelated to the candidates resume, it is very much affirmative action... particularly if the factor is to find a minority (or woman)...

I responding to poster that flat out stated that Palin was not the beneficiary of affirmative action. I submit that such a statement is flat our wrong... Palin was elevated from obscurity to national prominence BECAUSE she is a woman.

No. She cost him the votes that could have kept the race close.

When they get knocked up at 16 and into brawls at birthday parties, people probably will. Until then, we'll just chuckle at exploits of the Wasilla Hillbillies.
