Sarah is Palin’ and McCain is too. Obama gets a big time Democratic Convention Bounce.
McCain is getting so beat up over his impulsive judgment or lack of judgment about his choice of Sarah Palin for VP that he needs political crutches to get around. Saying a thorough vetting was done in a day and a 3 hour interview to pick a person who has the potential to be the leader of the free world is not about good governance. It is about pure politics.
Too bad our Westminster system of governance does not provide for a Ticket approach to electing leaders like the Americans have. I figure Sarah Palin would be a perfect choice for Harper's Deputy Prime Minister. We see many Canadians in envy of the American political and electoral process - maybe we should borrow a page and have a leadership Ticket.
Seems as if Sarah used to be part of an Alaskan Independence movement and wanted to have Alaska separate from the US. So that tells me she has some sensitivity if not real insight into Canadian politics already.
Reality check!!!
Does anyone believe for a minute Harper would actually allow anyone to be designated Deputy Prime Minister, even someone as perfect as Palin, given his control freak fetish. Not going to happen. Harper believes in the Power of One and is a team of one.
What's Belinda Stronach up to?
ReplyDeletePalin has more experience than Obama on foreign affairs. In addition, she has to actually balance a budget which Obama has not done.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that dumbass partisans like yourself put down a remarkable, strong-willed individual for pure political gain. It is sick and disgusting.
Nobody is matching Palin against Obama - she has to match Biden on foreign affairs.
ReplyDeleteEasy to balance a budget with an oil economy and the price of oil over $100 a barrel...just ask Ralph Klein.
LOL - VP vs. VP, I would take Palin anyday (although it makes no sense at all that that must be the comparison). Take a look at her speech today and you'll know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteOn foreign affairs, Palin is just as capable as Obama.
Harper does not need a VP to utterly destroy the liberals. Will you not admit that a Harper majority would definitely demonstrate that Canadians have rejected your so-called progressive views? Remember that the Liberals are going to have to borrow $6 million during the campaign - how are they going to repay that if they lose the election? The LPC may be destroyed in 2 months - enjoy having a somewhat viable party in the meantime as it may not last long.
Ken,
ReplyDeleteGo farther than Huffington Post or the New York Times for your information on the U.S. election. Palin was fantastic today in her speech.
Despite all of the skeletons in his closet, Obama has not endured the sustained scrutiny she has... and she has only been in the limelight for a matter of days.
When scrutiny has focused on Obama, he's flip-flopped (accepting public campaign spending limits, his relationship with Tony Rezko, his relationship with his now former church in Chicago, etc.). At least with Palin, you know where you stand.
I would think you would appreciate that.
The sound you just heard right after the Palin speech was the Dems - and that sound was "gulp".
ReplyDeleteShe didn't just show up - she exploded on to the national stage in a performance that blew away any doubts about the abilities of this soccer mom. The Republicans have found their attack dog, and she is good!!! I have to admit that I love it when Conservatives blow away liberal self importance and hypocrisy.
What a breath of fresh air!!
Touche for Lougheed as well !!
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:21: Look in the mirror, you just did the same thing. Sick and disgusting much?
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Huffington Post and America Blog are operating at National Enquirer levels of journalism right now. Most of the allegations, such as the Alaska separatist meme, the book banning, the cuts to programs for pregnant teen moms are either pretty warped or flat out false. Obama's probably just relieved that the media has stopped asking about his birth certificate, this Larry Sinclair nutjob, his shady Rezko deal and his ties to Bill Ayers.
ReplyDeleteSmears on both sides. This is American politics.
