    Yeah. And Cheney was going to keel over too, right?

    Sorry, but I don't buy that McCain is 4 years from death, yet is able to keep up the campaign schedule that he's running. He seems healthy enough to live out his term to me. I also don't think he's irresponsible enough to attempt to get elected if he knew his health indicated he wasn't likely to live out his term.

    That argument is nothing more than a shameful scare tactic.

    Perhaps you should read up about cancer a bit, having cancer once significantly increases your chances of having cancer again (often not just the original type of cancer) and until a cancer gets fairly advanced it has no real effect on your general well-being. He managed to beat the cancer once but he is quite old now so a recurance could well put palin in charge

    you clearly know very little about offshore drilling. The oil being there is not an issue its getting the oil out, and how much oil can be got out, and at what cost it can be extracted and how much oil can be extracted while still remaining profitable, that ultimately mean the environmental factors outweigh the possible economic boost.

    OTOH without palin in Alaska perhaps oil Alaskan oil will be taxed less and the existing oil will make a difference.

    You missed my point. McCain and Palin clearly have different opinions. He's more of a centrist, and she's clearly an extremist. He chose her to give those positions representation in his administration, which was necessary to get the base of his party involved in the election. That doesn't mean those positions will be policy in a McCain administration. In fact, it seems unlikely.

    Shame the outlook for mccain making it 4 years is not that good. I dont mean this just because hes old but his past medical problems means there is a good chance it will be president Palin running for re-election

    In contrast, the other ticket is led by somebody who is as far to the left as you get in US national politics, pretending that he's more towards the center than he is.

    Says more about US politics than anything else, even Thatcher a pretty right wing warmongering leader in the UK was still for public funded health care, although like most right wing leaders her economics sucked.

    tl;dr a creationist that thinks creationism should be taught in science class, is and i quote samuel.l.jackson ("the voice of god") when i say this,

    "one dumb motherfucker"*

    irrespective of your believes on how the earth was formed, life evolved, ect, saying that creationism is science means you not only don't understand science, but are willing to push forwards your opinion in spite of your lack of knowledge in the subject area.

    *samuel.l.jackson was probably not covering the creationism as science debate at the time**
    ** he is also unlikely to have been playing the voice of god.

    speaking as "the left" i would just like to say that i have been attacking bristol for having a second child out of wedlock (trac obviously being the 1st), because i felt that you as "the right" do not realise that this is what happens if your sex education is either "don't do it" or as McCain suggests you shouldn't even warn children about peadophiles so their sex education should be abuse.
