Sarah Palin for VP !! -- McCain is "baggage" on the ticket !! :BY: FReeper, David Osborne

For the record I voted for Sarah Palin in the FR poll, but was disapointed that only 40% of FReepers agreed with me.. I would like to see a new FR poll asking how many FReepers are happy with Sarah Palin.. I bet it would be 90% ---- the same as her approval rating in Alaska.... and soon to be her approval in the USA !!

On another note I wonder if anyone is making bumber stickers that say Vote for Sarah PALIN for VP... because come November that is what I will be doing... John McCain is tha “baggage” that comes with that vote.. and then in 2012 we (THE GOP) can regroup and consider are options at that time.. but for now.. I am fully on board with Sarah Palin as VP ——

now.... here is a line I have not used in a while

TOWARD VICTORY !!!

Note New Tag Line

[davidosborne]

Someone PLEASE make a bumber sitcker that says “VOTE Sarah Palin for VP — McCain is Baggage” — or something to that effect..

Thanks !!

[mkjessup]

You’re not helping David, you need to STFU.

[Theodore R.]

I am pleased with her, but I don’t think the American people will accept her. They will see her as “inexperienced” even though they don’t perceive Oprah’s Obama that way.

[Libertina]

That certainly would not NOT be helpful in getting our ticket elected...

[davidosborne]

Sorry mkjessup — I come here to speak my mind not sing with the choir !!!

[mkjessup]

Sorry mkjessup — I come here to speak my mind not sing with the choir !!!

You're doing nothing but provide fodder for the 'Rats and the Obamamites.

You ought to know better, you've been here since 2001.

Think about it.

[davidosborne]

Libertina —— I am not voing for the “ticket” — I am voing for Sarah Palin — period... I am sure many here on FR would agree with me — in fact had it been ANYONE but Sarah Palin — I would probably be sitting out the election completely..

[davidosborne]

If I change my mind — I will certainly say so -— and yes I have eaten my words on occasion if you read may posts over the past 7 years you will see that.... but for today this is what I am thinking — and I speak my mind here on FR -—

TOWARD VICTORY !!

[mkjessup]

If you sat out the election, you would be helping to put Obama in the White House. The choice is McCain/Palin, not Palin alone, not McCain alone, but McCain/Palin. If you're going to vote GOP, don't disrespect the next Commander-in-Chief before he even takes the damn Oath of Office.

Surely you're not that brain dead are you?

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

[davidosborne]

It is not a disrespect to McCain -— I respect his service and WILL obey the orders of my Commander in Chief regardless -— remember I served under 8 years of CLINTON so spare me the speech will ya !!

[Nervous Tick]

>> I am voing for Sarah Palin

Whatever, but keep in mind, if John McCain doesn’t get elected, neither will Sarah Palin.

The next 4 to 8 years are very important, but forget about that for a moment and consider the rest of your life. How cool would it be to get a high-integrity conservative like Palin firmly rooted in national politics? She could be the nucleus around which a small government conservative majority re-forms.

I have my differences with John McCain, but as of yesterday at 11AM Texas time I became a wholehearted supporter of the McCain-Palin TICKET. It’s a package deal, whether I love it or I don’t.

[Xenalyte]

Yo Dave, the thing on the back of your car is a bumper, not a bumber.

[okokie]

And she will be prepared to run AGAINST HITLARY in 2012!!

[davidosborne]

LOL — thanks for taking the time to respond to my post — of course I get it.. and yes I will hold my nose and vote for McCain — just to get Sarah Palin the VP slot — if you take the time to go back and read some of my posts I think you will agree that I am far more willing to do this now than I was before Sarah Palin got the nod — I stand by all of posts here...

Obama has his police to ensure conformity. I guess that McCain does too.

As far as I am concerned, Palin is the only reason that I might consider voting for McCain too.

[RightFighter]

I think you accomplish the same thing by just changing your little slogan to “I’m voting for Sarah Palin”. That tells anyone who reads it who you support without being disrespectful to McCain (the guy who was smart enough to pick her) by calling him “baggage”. Despite your disagreements with him in the past, he’s running the smartest campaign by any Republican in my lifetime (although I was too young to ever really see any of Reagan’s campaign), and he’s proven with his pick of Palin that he is not some weasel who wants to stick his thumb in the eye of conservative pro-life voters. Many on this board assumed he would do that, but he didn’t, and he deserves a great deal of credit for going so totally in the opposite direction. He’s not “baggage”.

[davidosborne]

thank you Harvey105 -— I KNEW I was not alone on this.. but was starting to wonder..

TOWARD VICTORY !!

[Arrowhead1952]

[Happy Rain]

The RNC needs to announce RIGHT NOW that the convention may be delayed a week so that Republican public servants slated to be there may instead attend to the heavy responsibilities that Hurricane Gustav may demand of them upon it’s American landfall.
No need for me to point out the fallout if the GOP parties while the Gulf States drown.

[davidosborne]

Many on this board assumed he would do that, but he didn’t, and he deserves a great deal of credit for going so totally in the opposite direction. He’s not “baggage”.

You are 100% correct that he deserves credit for this decision -- and I will reward him with my vote -- which I was prepared to NOT give him -- in fact I WOULD have voted for Obama - at least he would be someone that the GOP could go "toe-toe" with rather than get stabbed in the back like McCain has done so often ---- Sarah Palin has our BACK !! and for that -- McCain gets my VOTE -- But he is still baggage IMHO ..

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

“SARAH PALIN for VP —— McCain is just the “baggage”

Perfect! You can spam and hawk your bumperstickers to the hillary coven

[JennysCool]

Yo Dave, the thing on the back of your car is a bumper, not a bumber.

Unless it's a beeber.

[davidosborne]

LOL... I think there would be huge market for a bumper sticker that expresses that sentiment.. and yes many would be “Former Hillary supporters” —— The 2008 election has just gotten very very interesting..

TOWARD VICTORY !!

[davidosborne]

lol

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

don’t misunderstand me.........the title of this davidspam thread will soon be on lefty websites touted as found here on FR, and YOU MAY TAKE THE BOW you hoped for when you posted it.......jerk

[John D]

David is just telling the truth. McCrazy is extra baggage. And a lot of it. If elected he will destroy the Republican Party. While I do not like Osama Obama he will only last one term. America survived Jimmy Carter. If we can survive him we can survive anyone. McCrazy will put Republicans in the back seat for decades.

[davidosborne]

LOL — and don’t forget many of those “left website” visitors WILL end up voting for Sarah Palin too !! -— a win/win don’t you think? —— we should not have to PRETEND to be happy with John McCain at the top of OUR ticket — in fact in doing so will HURT our party in the long run -— the GOP is NOT dead... YET !!

[PhatHead]

[John D]

the GOP is NOT dead... YET !!

It will be about one year after McCrazy takes office.

[davidosborne]

I am sure Sarah Palin will NOT let that happen .. she is a real fighter — and will NOT go down easy — !!

[davidosborne]

What a great looking family too !!

[Teflonic]

That poll didn't ask who we wanted McCain to pick, it asked who we thought he would pick. Big difference.

[NonValueAdded]

Look for the “McWhatshisname / Palin” sticker. It communicates your sentiment without being too disparaging.

[davidosborne]

lol.. good point .. I voted for Sarah Palin — WISHING that I really believed he would seriously consider her... having said that I was as shocked and elated as everyone else when I found out he really did pick her....

TOWARD VICTORY !!

[davidosborne]

I would buy ANY bumber sticker that expressed such a point !!

TOWARD VICTORY !!

[John D]

I hope you are right. I used to know John McCain. As a person he is a great guy. As a CIC I think he will be a disaster. I think his pick for VP has been the best move in his political life..

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

screw you....I’m an American, not a Republican or “republican”........but when the anti-Americans give your nonsense post the notoriety you desire, it hopefully won’t amount to but one tiny cut of many thousands of cuts they will employ in trying to get obama elected.......and FR will get the credit for it, not just some guy somewhere named davidosbourne

[mkjessup]

"...in fact I WOULD have voted for Obama"

You have just certified yourself as an absolute scumbag.

WTF are you (or were you) thinking of?

Are you telling us that you would have voted for a Marxist ideologue whose friends include former domestic terrorists that tried to blow up the Pentagon, the United States Capitol, and other targets as part of their guerilla warfare against our Nation?!?

Look here pal: I didn't like McCain one iota, and my postings during the primary season testify to that, but when it comes down either voting for McCain or watching the most extreme 'Rats in 20 years seize control of all THREE branches of government, it was a foregone conclusion that I would vote for McCain. My conscience would not allow me to do less.

And don't whine to me about not wanting to hear "speeches", you need to hear something from someone because if you're truly as stupid as your statement about voting for Obama suggests, your elevator not only doesn't go all the way to the top, it's whistling to the bottom of the shaft even now.

And I would be willing to bet that the object of your devout political affections (Sarah Palin) would tell you to show some respect to John McCain and just vote for the ticket, period. Your insane bumper sticker idea suggests that Governor Palin lacks the good judgment you ascribe to her. Don't you think she saw something good and honorable in McCain in order to accept his invitation to be his running mate?

This madcap idea of yours not only disrespects John McCain, it disrespects Sarah Palin too, and you should end it here and now.

[mkjessup]

There, fixed that for ya Survivor, and DITTO!

[Roccus]

Sarah Palin has our BACK !!

You have got to be kidding me!

What is she going to do when McCain is ready to sign CIR or some cockamamie carbon cap and trade bill, take the pen from his hand and break his fingers? Where does it say that the VP has any voice whatever in selecting SCOTUS justices? Selecting Palin was a brilliant tactical move to win the election. However, we will still have that snarling individual who is so fond of calling many of us bigots sitting in the big chair.

As to all the claims of McCain's brilliance in choosing Palin, he would not be the first Presidential candidate to have a VP forced on him by others in the party.

[davidosborne]

spare me the lecture pal will ya

[mkjessup]

David is just telling the truth.

David wouldn't know the truth if it knocked on his damn front door, and had a sticker on it's jacket that said 'HELLO, My Name is Truth'.

McCrazy is extra baggage. And a lot of it. If elected he will destroy the Republican Party.

Take a look around sparkplug, McCain has done more to revive and unify the Republican Party in the past 24 hours than our illustrious 'compassionate conservative' President has done in four years.

While I do not like Osama Obama he will only last one term.

Do you guarantee our Republic will survive Obama? I say you have no way of doing that.

America survived Jimmy Carter. If we can survive him we can survive anyone.

Wise up fool, the Carter years were the epitome of moderation and wisdom compared to the insanity that will result from an Obama Administration.

McCrazy will put Republicans in the back seat for decades.

Where do you think we are right now? We've got nowhere to go but up, and McCain has demonstrated that he's ready for battle. His VP choice demonstrates this. You're either with him, or you're just another backstabbing conservative-purist who would rather see America turned over to the left so you can sate your ego.

What would Ronald Reagan tell us to do, given the choices this electoral cycle? You think he would tell us to stay home, or undercut the GOP presidential nominee in favor of the VP nominee?

Hell no! Use your head why don't you?

[pissant]

What about his post offended you?

[mkjessup]

spare me the lecture pal will ya

I'm speaking my mind, just like you are. And as long as you're spouting off this bullshit of yours, I'm going to call it what it is, ya freakin' CINO.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

FR will get the credit for it, not just some guy closet Obama supporter somewhere named davidosbourne

There it is.....davidosbourne doubles his pleasure and fun.......harms McCain-Palin and Freerepublic......all with one cutesy little thread and a little dancin’ around the real issue!

[davidosborne]

Closet Obama Supporter !! -— LOL -— are you kidding me?? I supported a Duncan Hunter / Sarah Palin ticket.. I would have voted for Obama to express my dissatisfaction with the GOP nomminee and yes, I would rather fight a liberal toe-toe than be stabbed in the back by an “R”

[mkjessup]

What about his post offended you?

Everything about it. Scan the thread FRiend, Mr. Osborne is on the record as saying that he was going to vote for Obama.

That makes him no FRiend of mine, and no FRiend of anyone who considers themselves a conservative.

[mkjessup]

You said you were going to vote for Obama in a previous post in this thread. Go re-read your own damn words.

Don’t bother having your post nuked, I’ve got it saved.
