Someone on another site brought up another point:

McCain met Palin for the first time in February, she had her child in April.....

On decision making in general, especially on this level, why would he even consider someone that pregnant and now with a newborn?

For the same reason Obama whent with the status quo, to win the election with someone he felt would compliment his Presidency, it is not a big deal, it is admirable on McCain's part to reach out to a new face to help him shake things up in Washington, as well as to help get the oil drilling going so we can once again be leaders and not dependents on foreign sources!

Yeah, which is why I advocated Dr. Rice for VP since March as well as Hillary.

What is your point SS?

Seriousely, you brought up the topic and then roll eyes on me because I bring up the point your topic is pointless?

Are you serious? You read my post and ask about whether or not I believe women are just as capable as a man?

You inferred something not true and I retorted with the facts.

I never brought up the capabilities or not of women, but the judgment of McCain as it relates to his vetting process. On just politics alone, I wanted to know why he would even consider her given that she was very pregnant when he first met her.

You make that sound like it is a bad thing. There is no doubt that she is a strong woman but even more so as a mother. She is honest and has integrity and she represents the change people are looking for. I do not believe he could have made a better choice.

Just because someone meets someone else one time (especially in gov't and politics) does not mean they have not done their homework on them.
Personally, from what I have read and the little bit of research that I have done, I think she is just what we need. Someone that stands for what she beleives in and also someone that is proactive when she sees something that she does not like.

You are bringing up McCains descision making in choosing her even though she is pregnent. So what?

Either I am misunderstanding your post or you are trying to say McCain doesn't make correct descisions based off his pick of a pregnant VP.

Interesting that you bring up decision making as I also wonder why the DNC decided to back someone that has shown such poor ability in this area, "decision-making", as Obama has; he has affiliated with terrorists like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, he has affiliated with race baiters (and America Haters) like Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger, and he had commerce with the drug dealers that supported (or still support? Has he had a drug test lately?) his cocaine and marajuana habit. Then there's his stance on Abortion. And the Second Amendment. And the Defense of our nation.

Oh, and Sgt Salaam...your bias against women is showing, better get another veil to put, thinly, over it...

How many threads will SS make of the same topic? This is as, scratch that, more pathetic than the Obama is a sleeper muslim threads.

NICE!

And just last week he was, poorly I may add, doing the same thing by suggesting anyone who does not like Obama is a racist. He is losing it.

I have to say, Sgt_Salaam, that I don't get your point either - what does her state of pregnancy when McCain first met her have to do with anything?

You know that I generally agree with you on most issues, and I certainly agree that Palin has no business on a national ticket as a candidate for the second-highest office in the country, but ... being pregnant? So what?

For what it's worth, I don't think your opinion makes you a sexist - you've proven you are not in too many other posts - but it does make me question your objectivity about Palin.

All the vetting in the world wouldn't validate Obama as being anything or anybody worthwhile. He's an excellent speach maker.......just never did s h i t !

How come Obama never cleaned up any corruption in Chicago among it's politics?

Palin cleaned up the disfunctional part of politics and corruption in Alaska.

Point was either women should be seen and not heard or women in poliics shouldnt have children.

I prefer to let Sgt_Salaam speak for himself, thank you Gunny. He is more than capable to do that.

Can it be? Your explanation of your OP was actually WORSE (more sexist AND demeaning) than your OP!



It's like watching Archie Bunker explain why he's not a racist.

Maybe his point was that people, be they male or female, who have newborns, generally don't have a lot of free time, and especially not the amount of time and energy that a Presidential campaign requires - so why consider someone whom you know will soon have a newborn?
