You ahd your chance for freedom in Dr. Paul and you threw it away.

I have absolutely no sympathy with the choices you now have for President. They are basically the same except for “tax and spend” or “borrow and spend”.

You should try reading the Constitution before voting or otherwise supporting any candidates.

Good luck in choosing which loser for whom to vote for President. Standards are so low these days. LOL

In campaign season, the two parties say the same things that energized the base but they don’t plan on actually following through with it. I’m not even 40 years old and have figured that out.

Don’t get too excited about Palin and all the “nice” things they are saying.

Remember, the republicans had 6 years majority and they didn’t do a darn thing that they promise. They could’ve but they didn’t. All these nice things you hear at the Convention are just to get you to vote, they don’t really want to do them, matter of fact, the governmnet will grow under the Republicans and freedoms will dimenish…same with Dems.

During this campaign I’ve gone from: I’ll not vote for President (McCain got my attention in 2000 and I’ve been furious w/ him); to I’ll drag myself kicking and screaming into the booth to vote for McCain, but will not campaign or put up signs for him; to I’ll gladly vote for him (after the Saddleback discussion); TO not only will I vote for McCain/Palin but actually campaign after he named Sarah Palin to the ticket. I ordered bumper stickers on Friday afternoon and went to Washington, PA on Saturday.

Rush has touted Sarah Palin for some time–so I’ve known about her and her stances. Excellent.

Kate (7) shows the contempt she and others have for women such as my late mother, who CHOSE to stay at home and raise the children. By-the-way, Kate, my mother had a BA in Chemistry from WVU. She and my father, who taught chemistry at WVU, raised 3 children–all of whom have their PhD’s and are Republicans.

Dr. Paul woke a sleeping giant in the form of millions of Americans, whose passion, energy and determination is simply too strong to go silent about our Bill of Rights against a growing Big socialits Government in the Republican and Democratic parties, too ignorant to see this.

Get a clue. The patriot is a stepping stone to an empowered executive governmnet. This will come back to haunt you one day. Remember I told you so when that day comes and our government has thrown away your liberties and bill of rights. Just like Nafta, sold to us on false pretenses that harmed America later.

I would rather err on liberty than to err on the side of a larger more secretive government.

I would rather err of liberty than support the patriot act.

Thats because I am a conservative. I beleive in smaller government. I believe in open government. Not in talk, but in reality.

In addition, I think that Shelly’s too savy to accept the vp nod from McCain. He’s going to go down like Mondale come Nov. She knows it (as does Mit, probably why he dropped out) and won’t want to have her political brand associated with the loss.

And Mr. Smoot makes a good point. Shelley may be adored in WV because of her father and because she is slightly less socialist than Jim Humphreys. Those attributes may not carry much water in the other 49 states. (Did you find the part about smart, articulate, and conservative Condy Rice?)

Kate - The Repub party may still have too many old, stuffy conservatives, but it will be McCain’s decision to make.

Mikey - On the other hand, Shelley may slow down some of those rooster pullers.

West Virginians seem to pin all their hopes on getting national media attention and having somebody in Washington to bring home the pork. I wish we would focus more inside the state. Perhaps electing a legislature that put more effort into getting us back up to 49th place.

Does Vic know politics or what??
Most of the national pundits and polls have made big mistakes this year.
