John Rich, Gretchen Wilson and Cowboy Troy to top it off. Who says the GOP isn't multicultural?

She's not going to raise taxes, Obama and Co are. Does that help?

:eek:lol: It should :). If she were the nominee for POTUS, I would have to sit down and really give those tradeoffs a lot of thought. If she approached her climate change denial from the right place, I could live with it (risk vs. reward ..... vs. junk science). I would just really want to be convinced that she knew what she was talking about and wasn't giving me the same old talking points. I believe that McCain knows more about the issue of climate change than Obama...although they may end up coming down on different sides of the issue when it is all said and done....

See # 289. I respect intellectual honesty and wish both camps employed it more. But they don't. Ergo my disgust with Door Number One and Door Number Two.

I take you at your word but your posts tell a different story. Perhaps too much devil's advocacy?

You deal with it Mister "Undecided". It was hyperbole, you deal with it. She has better ideas than him on policy, that is not hyperbole.

I don't care much for that sort of hyperbole, it's like herd mentality or something....just a too excited for my taste - so I won't deal with it without pointing out the gross exaggeration.

As for her having better policy than Obama...I agree that she does on some, but not all...her social conservative agenda has little appeal to me....thankfully McCain will help quell that on some of the issues that I tend to care about...

I'd say that there is a bit of me not wanting to just join in with the majority, so probably so. I would also say however that the bastardization of elementary logic by the right wing radio show hosts for the past ten years has really been a pet peeve for a long time. Gotta give them their due, however, as regardless of how poor their reasoning, they are much more entertaining than their occassional counterparts.

Sorry, I'll consult with you from now before using hyperbole.

I'll restate my idea more seriously and accurately.

I don't know of a policy issue where Obama has better ideas than Palin. No hyperbole.

Andrea Mitchell looks like she'd rather be undergoing a root canal.

If we are limiting political shilling to radio - yes. However, the same bastardization of elementary logic is widely practiced by Dem commentators. They have more space in other media. I'd say it's pretty even.

You lose. I havenlt watched any of the Republican Convention.

Now, before you go "A ha!" let me point out that I didn't watch any of the Democratic Convention, either.

Neither one ever offers any news or insight. Both are nothing more than homecoming pep rallies. I want to see the debates.

The "news person" from the MSNBC panel had to work in negative reaction. This is almost as partisan as the RNC was!

It is entirely reasonable (to me) that you would think that...

I really think that's why the Dems were going after Palin so bad because they know she's that good and tonight just proved it.

these people are trying really hard to come off as newspeople.

I'm sure LG will be here shortly to skewer these guys for bastardizing the story.

anytime anyone asks Obama how he would pay for his welfare programs or how he would balance the budget, he's going to look like an idiot.

The only problem is the Republicans have had control of Congress and the White House for 6 of the last 8 so why didn't they implement all these great ideas they claim to have??

I'd like to throw every incumbent out, and vote in a 3rd party.

From what I understand right now, I would say that Obama has a better policy on climate change than she would if she were first on the ticket....but this is not a policy that I would expect a lot of Republicans to agree with. I think that her tickets position on abortion would be different than Obama's if she were at the top of the ticket...but she's not. Their are other social issues that Obama's policies appeal to me more than her policies would...but McCain's are generally acceptable to me.

I'm not convinced they knew enough about her to go after her just because they thought she was good....once she was the pick, they were going to go after her.

Fine, I'll concede and give you the better climate policy, just to avoid the argument. That being said, it means he has a better policy on the 1,052,123 most important issue.
