Are the Republicans running McCain/Palin or Palin/McCain?
It seems as though John McCain has been considerably overshadowed by his running mate these past few days...

3. So, when is someone going to catch on that she has more
executive experience than John McCain does? When he steps down they can move her straight to the top of the ticket!

4. She is being groomed for presidenting just like Bush was.
McCain simply opens the door for her to make the transition from VP to Pres. Mcsame can happily retire after that.
All he wanted really was to have his name in the history books as Presof the USA. How many times has he run for this Office ???
Now he will have it.
And Palin has been "chosen" to follow when his time is up.

How long did it take the GOP Presidential Selection Committee to train George Bush?
The Presidnt is simply a figurehead..a middleman between the ignored citizens and the ACTUAL group that controls the policy & direction of this country.
The one we don't see.
Ya know, the Shadow Government.
The one Cheney spoke of.

What would Americans do if they were suddenly told their Government of democracy, guided by the constitution, no longer exists.
Well its getting close to that point.

This election will tell us just how far we've drifted towards that reality.

6. Is there a danger from the republicans overselling Gov. Failin?
Everyone from Fred Thompson, to Rudy, to the janitor at the convention hall have been dispatched to do interviews insisting that Gov. Failn is the most qualified candidate for VP EVER. Is there just a chance that common folks will see this as one big snow job? Is there just a chance all these superlatives will cause folks to take a step back and remember why they hate the current administration - lack of trust?

I sure hope so.
