the Senator from South Dakota - *sponsored by Monsanto
Sounds good to me.....I would support that ticket!
What do you think of Bobby Jindal. I saw him on Hannity last night and he has really improved his presentation over his earlier appearances. I think that the controversy over the BP oil spill has really stiffened his resolve and given him more self confidence.
Thune appears to have gone “beltway” since he’s been in the Senate. I have to agree with you about supporting him. That’s why I say the ‘12 ticket should have some combination of Demint/Palin/Pence, doesn’t make much difference to me at this point. I know Palin and Demint put the fear of God in the left as well as the GOP elite, and that’s good.
Thune who?
Thune lost me when he joined the RATs in opposing Bolton’s confirmation. He’s been a disappointment in the Senate for a while, and certainly doesn’t deserve a promotion to POTUS.
Jindal is alright....He has the experience...he could be a little more Outgoing in his speaking. I think he needs a little more experience maybe a good VP choice for someone...
Thune has turned into a 100% full-blooded RINO piece of sh!t.
Mark him for primary challenge, and defeat in any race he enters from now until he is extinct (politically speaking, of course)
The link Onyx has says Thune voted no!
Check out the link onxy has - it says Thune voted no.

Cartogram
Standard Projection
Horizontal bars indicate the two senators from a state voted differently.
Cartograms give an equal area in an image to an equal number of votes by distorting the image. Senate vote cartograms are shown with each state stretched or shrunk so that the states each take up an equal area because each state has two votes. For House votes, it is each congressional district which is stretched or shrunk.

McCain is off the list?
Shocker...McCain actually oppossed the bad bill!!
“What do you folks think?”
First, Thune voted nay and Demint didn’t vote, so Thune performed better than Demint. (Vote passed easily anyway, so it doesn’t matter.)
Second, Thune is going nowhere.
Third, don’t worry, you’ll find something wrong with all of them by primary time. America will be looking for an experienced centrist in 2012, and Republicans allow too much open voting in primaries for a conservative to be easily noiminated. Which means most of us won’t care for the eventual nominee. Broken glass time again.
It says here he voted no.
This is right on the money. We need to find a way to package this stuff so
a) it is right in the forefront of the entire U.S. about how these folks are voting
and
b) make sure everyone understands that EACH vote is a litmus test. EVERY FREAKING ONE !!!!
thank you
If you let the fact that Palin repaid her debt to John McCain for giving her the National political stage as his running mate play a role in whether you think she should be our next president, then I think you shouldn't be allowed to vote. You should probably be neutered, too. America already has enough mouth-breathing idiots voting with their gonads.
You asked...
;-\
I personally like john Thune a lot and thingk he would be a prfect match with sarah.
