Double standard? Perhaps it's actually opinion. And from someone who probably has more experience with the woman than you do. (Just a guess) What about the wire-taps? The out of control spending? Government getting all up in science and whatnot? Sheesh, amazing how The Right is acting all, magnanimous(? some word like that). "It wasn't political, she was the best for the job" and whatnot. (I'm just kidding about the right and left stuff, those type comments seem sorta funny sounding) I think it was strategic, and is (IMO) exciting. But it doesn't change the fact that this country IS headed down the wrong road, and we need to do a 180, which another Republican President will be unable to do. We need a uniter, plain and simple, and I don't see that with McCain. Not so much he himself, but more the situation we're in. People are pissed and divided, so if we don't at least give the illusion of change, well, man, expect a lot more bitching and low morale. Even with all the shit The Right gave Clinton, we were able to do some stuff that just plain took teamwork. Do you honestly see McCain as a uniter? Does the chick getting the position make you feel a little better, like, "hey, maybe this will appease X"? Or is it all purely about her cleaning up government and whatnot (which I think is swell-- Ron Paul or even Nader both speak truths you won't hear from many mouths, at least at that level)? I said it in parenthesis, right there, though; we know what we need to do, it's a shame some of us would put on such a sham, like claiming that removing our liberties makes us safer, while running on a platform that /says/ it values those liberties above all else, or whatever. Upholding the constitution... yeah, give me a break. I could do a lot of "good" if I did shit that wasn't constitutional-- really crack down on crime, say. Wouldn't that be a good thing? What's the matter with just getting all Jack Bauer on fools? Bah. What does any of this crap have to do with the current state of this thread? Hell if I know. Sorry for wandering off there.
