First Female Republican V.P. Candidate
#67
I don't generally like to enter political discussions because - honestly - neither party is right or wrong. Intelligent people can put a spin on just about anything to make their favorite candidate/ party seem attractive. Personally, I believe that Palin is a bad decision for McCain's ticket because I see it (and many others see it this way too) as a publicity stunt. McCain picked her up because she had the cleanest record, nobody living in the largest portion of the United States had ever heard much of her, and he needed something "edgy" because he was being labeled "old". I'd prefer to have a condidate - be it male/ female or black/ white - that was chosen for their capacity to lead. I don't think that the correct running mate was chosen, but I also think that choices are really slim in this day and age. Who REALLY wants to be a politician any more? You can have more wealth and power in big business anyway. I think that the people that would make incredible politicians are out doing "better things" for themselves. People are greedy, and they don't care for this country as much any more so much as they care about their own pockets.

Rome fell, people. Our country needs to "man up" and take some serious action before we shove our country down the tubes.

Ok. So maybe that got a little off topic, but I don't usually visit the Touchy Subjects forum and had to get it all out.
