Now we know! John McCain is an extraterrestrial!Lonestarm wrote:John McCain is 72 and if his spry 96 year old mom is an indication likely to be able to run for a second term.
Seriously, if he wants to continue to dispell claims that he's too old to take the Presidency, maybe he needs to let his mother debate Biden.
Good job working her into his bio-video presented last night, but what amazed me even more was when she rose to acknowledge the applause for her. That is not the way a 96-year-old is supposed stand up from a seated position. She's faster than I am. And she doesn't wear glasses. And every time the camera hit her, she was alert, attentive, and engaged in the proceedings...much more than we can say for some of our Senators and Representatives, even during daytime meetings.
I'm firmly behind the McCain/Palin ticket. We have two choices at this point and, as Scone coined, "NObama, NObiden, NOway."Lonestarm wrote:A little research following his choice of Sarah Palin has more than settled my qualms! This lady seems to be the genuine thing. Hunter since teenager, life NRA member, apparently pro-gun in the best sense the word(s). The VP choice is the first hard example of a presidential candidate's decision-making abilities.... Looks like a homer.
The leftist microscope is squarely on Palin right now, and will continue to be for at least a couple of weeks or more: trying to uncover dirt that can be used to play against exactly what you described when you said, "The VP choice is the first hard example of a presidential candidate's decision-making abilities."
They're bringing up--but dancing lightly around--her religion. She was brought up Pentecostal, and while she attended a non-denominational church in Wasilla, returned to a Pentecostal church when she moved to Juno as governor. I've already seen thinly veiled "hints" that the Pentecostals are a fringe group of Christians with radical beliefs. Prepare for more of that.
And since the soon-infamous email from Anne Kilkenny of Wasilla is all over the Web, I want to post a link to it here so you can judge for yourselves: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/ ... ml?showall.
It is absolutely authentic, as in it was written by a real woman named Anne Kilkenny who really does live in Wasilla. I listened to an interview with her on NPR today as I drove home from work. And it sounds as though, despite her request to the original address list to "please do not post it on any websites, as there are too many kooks out there," she seems to be thoroughly enjoying her 15 minutes of fame, gleefully placing another incoming journalist on hold during the NPR interview. Her corroborated letter and her willingness to chat about it will give fodder for the Democrats.
We still have a long fight to get a Republican White House in 2009. If you want to help--and skirmish a little--visit http://www.johnmccain.com/.
