It's Sarah Palin

He was an hourly worker for them, albeit a well-paid one. Not an executive, no way at that pay rate.

That doesn't seem just a bit fishy to you? The man was making between $100,000 and $120,000 as an hourly employee? Sounds like a pluff position that just sounds better in campaign literature.

That is a lot of money. He spent 20 years as a blue collar worker in the oil fields. He doesn't have a college degree. They ran off to get married to avoid an expensive wedding. These aren't "silver spoon" people, folks. Just sounds like an American Dream success story.

It seems that a lot of research went into picking Palin. I think people are going to have a hard time digging up bad things about her without making them up.

Only time will tell.

It really is a good story. However, workers in the oil fields don't make $120,000 at an hourly rate. That one just doesn't add up. Everything else seems pretty legit.

There are lots of assembly line workers here in south eastern michigan making that kind of money. One forgets that they get time and a half on Saturday, double time on Sunday & holidays. That adds up.

good for you...

Thats all you can come back with? I guess I am right then.

It is a really smart move to steal the thunder from Obama's amazing speech, but it is as stupid and damaging of pick that you could ever make long term. She was a mayor of a tiny town just two years ago, has absolutely no foreign policy experience and will be number two to an old old old old old man......As awful as he is, at least Cheney would have been able to step in if needed and keep the ship in motion. It is so funny to see people say we cant have on the job Training with Obama with his "lack of experience", but they allowed Bush, who literally had no experience (did that manifest itself at all during the past eight years??), to be their leader and now they are looking for the "strategy" rather than the experience. John McCain does not have even a decent grasp on the dynamics of foreign policy......he is actually a retard when it comes to the facts of the world. So, you would have two saladfaced knucklebrains dealing with the complications in the world.

And, just think about the VP debates and the Presidential debates. I havent been on board with the slogan of McSame, but when you think about it, we are going to get exactly the same; the same shallow and ultra good old boy comebacks in the debates, the smug laughing at his own jokes, the monotone simplistic speeches, the fetish for money and unfettered markets.....the abuse of power at every aspect........I sat up all night last night talking with a Republican, and I pretended to be one too.....she was so fucking racist and sexist and just had no idea what is important in the world other than what is on her radar, and believe me, her radar beams didnt go past the radius of a few feet from her big dumb head. It is about the third time I have gotten to the core of a friend and where all their views come from. People are just wired differently and it shows up in their political views. In general, most Retardilans are terrified people and are often extremely self centered. I really think this is why most are so open to religion and why they are so concerned with death and seek an afterlife. No wonder so many can justify the damage done on earth at their hands....they really think they have an eternity ahead of them in a better place and they also think the earth was given to them by their divine. So, if that is your backdrop, why not line up with a guy that keeps it simple and tells them what is best for them....nothing new in that journey.

There is truth to all the stereotypes out there, and I am not at all saying that Republicans are not doing what they think is best for America, but they are not patriotic, they are nationalistic.......and I am not sure if stupidity leads to that or if it is the other way around, but both are present in almost every single Republican I talk to. And whhhhaaaaaaaaa whaaaaaaa whaaaaa.....dont start crying. Republicans want everyone to own their own mistakes and shortfalls, but they never want to be questioned or critiqued.....its like five year olds Tom Delays everywhere.....
