Who knew the crafty dog still had some surprises in him? Actually, I’m not all that surprised, given how shrewd the McCain campaign has been the last few weeks. Their “celebrity” ad obviously got under Barack Obama’s skin, the Saddleback……

Never happen. Michelle has been critical of too many McCain policies. She would have to “toe the line” for the sake of the campaign. Remember Tony Snow defending Shamnesty on Rush’s show? Disaster.

She’d never do it.

Well stated. MM is why we all started coming to HA.

Allah helps to keep us here though. :-P

Would Palin want to lower herself to run alongside a phoney RINO?

And do her part to save the nation in it’s time of need? Maybe she could talk some sense into the old McCoot. You never know.

ALERT!

A new, mutant strain of PDS is emerging. It seems to be Type 1 in nature, but with raging sexism added. Extreme caution advised. I don’t recommend trying to reason with it. If you do, remember to wash your hands with hot, soapy water between comments.

Raging sexism among Michelle Malkin admirers????

I would welcome MM as VP. She is a hard nosed fighter who represents my kind of conservatism. She says what she means and she means what she says.

She has taken a beating to keep the illegal alien problem in the forefront. Because of her doggedness she has helped motivate the nation.

MM courageously stood up to islamio extortion on issues like the Mohammed cartoons. What a woman. Articulate. Brave. Extremely intelligent and well spoken. Extremely cognizant of the fine details of the Constitution.

MM has the understanding and strength to be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of this nation.

No sexism here.

To test Michelle Malkins worthiness for the office of VP read Shakespeare’s St Crispen’s day speech and ask yourself, could the King’s speech be given by Michelle Malkin? Would she be able to carry it off? would the troops follow her?

I’m one of the good guys. BTW, making fun of someone’s username is just rude. How’d you like it if I called you bill30098 or something?

upinak on August 1, 2008 at 1:41 PM

She’s the unofficial Governor of Hot Air, and that makes me a constituent.

Dang! I’m in there battling for my Special Lady, and now I’ve got to worry about friendly fire?

A babe VP. That would be more historic than Obama.

Halley on August 1, 2008 at 7:19 AM

Why not just pick Pam Anderson then..or better yet Naomi Campbell?

That should satisy you and the dems obsession with racist/sexist politics.

Personally, I wouldn’t want a POTUS, or VPOTUS for that matter, who holds grudges and pursues petty vendetta’s in the WhiteHouse either way.

SilverStar830 on August 1, 2008 at 4:16 AM

Who are you talking about? Not Palin, I think you are innocent until proven guilty…except in your court?

You’ve been so brainwashed by the dems racist/sexist playbook that you actually think a woman president is a great idea.

There’s idealism and then there’s reality.

Let me put it this way. Reagan was good. Reagan was smart. However, Reagan won because he was a rock star; a strong charismatic man.

P.S. You actually contradict yourself with the way you phrased that.

McCain-Palin it is, I think.

Kiss my Bottom!

She is my Gov, not yours.

I would suggest that SilverSlur and Mr. Wednesday Nut go back to Moveon.borg and HuffnPuff where they obviosly belong

Are you somebody’s sockpuppet?

http://www.mccain-romney.com/ is a spoof site.

Is this more evidence for Palin on the ticket?

Big S

“Since taking office, I have proposed to the legislature millions of dollars in budget increases for more troopers, equipment and training. My administration just completed contract negotiations providing increased wages and other benefits.”

http://www.gov.state.ak.us/news.php?id=1353

Interestingly, one of the big claims that anti-Palin Republicans bring up is that she’s a big-spending, fiscal liberal. But this union boss claims that she cut the budget, and even more absurdly, claims that the abysmal crime stats are her fault rather than the guy who ran the department!

Dude. Come on. This is a politically motivated smear against a good person.

Just because Sarah is my Gov, doesn’t mean she is perfect. No one is prefect and i don’t expect them to be. But this is getting to the point that I wonder why anyone cares.

Alaska is usually just a State that everyone knows about, wants to visit but most of the time is a quiet back burner State no one cared about.

Palin, Stevens, Young and most of the Alaskan Legislature and most of the Alaskans themselves have pushed for ANWR, even if the Politics and un-ethic like manner got in the way.

If you don’t like it, that is fine. I never said you had to. If you don’t like the Senators, my Gov or anyone up here… not my probelms and you didn’t elect these people. But when it comes down to it, my State is in the lime light for whatever reason, be it ANWR (which WAS first and has been for a while) or the fact that Some of the people are now being sold as un-ethical. It still isn’t your State. You don’t live here and you have no idea what goes on except via what the MSM wants you to know.

This is becoming absolutely rediculous. And the next State this happens to I feel for the people who live in it.

I am all for getting a chick in the white house…lets just make sure she is more Maggie Thatcher than Hillary of this corrupt boob.

Roger Waters on July 31, 2008 at 9:46 PM

Palin doesn’t have to justify firing the guy. He is hers to fire.

However Palin did not have to veto the legislation banning state benefits to gay couples. That legislation was hers to sign if she favored it, and the court’s to review should she have signed it. That is where Palin makes a wide left turn from conservative

Palin is no Thatcher and made a move to not stand on issue where she had the power. I personally believe she was smart enough to know she had the legal right and moral opportunity to sign the bill. When any politician makes a wimpy excuse for taking actions they do not have to take they relegate themselves to lesser station.

On top of that Palin talks too much. If she was ‘Presidential material’ she could give the short answer to the screaming interrogator and turn his idiocy to her advantage.

The politician on national stage closest in talking style to Palin is Michigan governor Granholm, another lady with a breezy style. Granholm sparkles, she runs her mouth, she tilts her head and winks. Granholm also uses the word ‘cool’ a lot. Granholm would also have vetoed the legislation banning state benefits for same sex couples.

A babbling cool lady will appeal to many and repell many.

Had Palin been pure RINO she would be so useful because the RINO wing is the Oprah wing of the GOP.

However, poltically speaking, Palin talks too much. She spews her guts out yet is able to make a lame excuse for something she really really wanted. That is a weakness because in politics there is always a reason behind every lame excuse and the lame are immortal.

No I do not want her making battle decisions in WWIII. I do not want to hear her speeches. I do not even want to hear the interview above one more time.

I personally don’t think she was ever on any VP list anyway, it’s just not in McCain’s best interest to have someone on the ticket who is potentially a stronger candidate than he is.

Besides, McCain seems be using the old “vote for me…’cause… I’m not the other guy” strategy at this point, so putting a conservative on the ticket would detract from the message.
