One more time: Should John McCain let Sarah Palin go?

I am 100% behind Palin ... for governor. Of Alaska.

Republican wing of the Republican pary

The race is over and you can tell by McCain's body language. Watching the tape of him at a rally today brought to mind the picture of Bush 41 giving a speech in the rain during the later days of his race against Clinton.

McCain is clearly uncomfortable with the tenor of this campaign and he needs to do something to save his political legacy and the republican party of which the evangelical base has clearly lost its mind. People are desperate out there and are searching for direction. Even though he'll lose this election the Maverick could still go down in history as the man who sacrificed himself once again for his country. Time to regain the high ground John and break away from the folks who told you that you couldn't have Joe Lieberman as your running mate.

If not Sarah Palin is going to be not only your Waterloo but the mental quicksand that people get stuck in when they try to remember your name in the future.

You can do it sir.

We fail to understand why Americans are unhappy. They voted for a Republican president in 2000 and 2004. We reject the claims being made in several foreign nations that Americans are so ignorant of their own history that they do not understand the consequences of voting Republican. Republicans brought us the Great Depression of 1929 and excepting Dwight Eisenhower (1952-1960), every Republican president since 1929 has crashed our economy. Republican Nixon gave us 12% inflation, wage and price controls, gas rationing (you were allowed to only buy gas on certain days and were limited to 5 gallons per purchase) and the stock market crash of 1973, Reagan gave us the stock market crash of 1987, homeless and unemployment marches, record deficits etc. The first Bush got thrown out of office because his economy was so bad ("Its the economy, stupid" was Democrat Clinton's winning campaign slogan). All Democrat presidents excepting Jimmy Carter gave us great economies. Clinton left us a great economy, a balanced budget and a 559 billion dollar surplus. SEE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton Americans were upset with Clinton's great economy so they voted Republican and are now getting what they voted for. Why so unhappy? It makes no sense to us. You get what you voted for - fools.

We would never want a citizen politician in office, like Sara. NOOOOO we must have the seasoned veterans, who know where their money comes from, and who have such a wonderful record of running the country. Besides she might even make the mistake of using common sense in making decisions. No never, we can't have that.

With the financial problems we have now, too bad Mitt Romney isn't the Rep. Contender with McCain as his running mate (for world politics or war advice). I don't believe that Romney, as president, would patch a financial problem like this by throwing obscene amounts of money at it like these crazies are promising.....he'd find the root of the problem, slash off the bad branches and roots and graft in some good ones. The bad ones (corrupt financiers, militant specilal interest groups etc.) now seem to be the ones making out as bandits and noone is going after them. Throwing large amounts of money out at a problem only breeds more greed and corruption and doesn't fix the real problems.

I think Palin will do just fine. This country has been run by lawyers for far too long. Saying that Palin does not know enough about economics and foreign policy to be President is rubbish! All Presidents have advisors. Nixon had Kissinger to advise him on foreign policy. It is time this country voted for people from other walks of life under term limits and vote out the corrupt lawyers in Washington.
