Good Argument For Palin

Pat Buckhannon wrote a pretty good article for McCain's VP pick. Interesting how he notes that she has more executive experience than all three put together, how she has more constituents than Nancy Pelosi, and how although she lacks foreign policy experience, she governs a state that is situated between Russia and Canada.

The morning crew on MSNBC got into a heated debate yesterday in considering the McCain-Palin view versus the Obama-Biden view on abortion. Scarborough argued that the right wing argument on the subject has gotten distorted into a pro-life versus pro-choice, black and white issue. That in actuality, it's a federal versus state issue. In other words, McCain-Palin favor that the decision be left up to individual states as opposed to a federal ban.

That's a tough one. I'm staying out of that. I report, you decide.

Another argument the right wingers have been making is that Obama chose Biden based on his foreign policy experience. However, Biden opposed the first Iraq war, initially supported the second one, and opposed the surge.

seems to me like the press has spendt more time investigating Palin's family than they have Obama's ties to Ayers.

I'm just sayin'.

...or Obama's ties to Tony Rezko.

And it's funny how nobody questions Obama's judgement any longer for remaining a parishioner in Rev. Wright's church, or for buying land from Rezko while he was under Federal investigation. McCain picks a solid conservative Governor for his VP and all of the sudden he's an old coot whose judgment must be impaired...

We're all high on hopium, I guess. I sure hope that hopium keeps on keepin' on when our taxes go through the roof and we see inflation like we have not seen since Jimmy Carter was in the oval office...
