The Respectfully Republican Conversation

Ladies, do you realize how difficult is has been for me NOT to be able to get on the puter and say yaaaa--HOOOOOOO!  I must calm down.  Dh owns the puter in the mornings.

You know what I like about Palin?  She's gorgeous!  LOL (Oprah cried her eyelashes off last night at Obama's speech..just heard on Fox..LOL)

Now, to my embarrassing confession....I slept until 11 AM.  Well, not exactly...my dd woke me up at 8 AM.  I stayed up VERY LATE!  So, I then called my db who lives in Texas.  It was 19 AM there and I woke him up!  I told him the news and he said, who's that..Palin?  I said she's the Governor of Alaska I've told you about.  And she's gorgeous.  He turns on his TV and said, yes she IS gorgeous!  LOL  He said he thought McCain would pick a woman...well her name rarely came up and McCain so smartly had everyone scrambling, and you all know the rest of the story.

The Maverick picks a Maverick....from Neil Cavuto.

I too heard so-and-so was eliminated in between waking up.  Then, I heard the news!  On Fox!  I'm a blubbering idiot!  I must calm down.

Susie, I was thinking the same thing this morning that Rosemary or Linda asked.  You were the one who mentioned Palin first, right?  You are one smart cookie.  Did you call McCain months ago and tell her?

Oh, now on Fox a woman who's dem has definitely made her mind up..she's voting for McCain since he pick his VP.  She liked her honesty, etc., etc.,..She feels Hillary has been treated very unfairly.

I too thought the first comment that came out of Obama's camp...mayor of a town that had 9,000 people..never mentioned she was Governor.  Perhaps they didn't know?  LOL

Linda, yes, I know you are the republican.  So am I.  However, I like to visit other threads.  I usually do not vote a straight ticket.  This year I am.  I'm sick and tired of Pelosi et al playing with our lives over energy.  Even IF oil prices dropped down to two digit numbers, we still need to be energy independant.  That has been my most RECENT gripe with the Pelosi regime! 

Anneshirley, I thought the same thing as you..Palin running for prez.  However, I never thought of Palin and Hillary running!  That would be awesome!

Bue16, why would you be insulted?  McCain is risking losing this election by choosing a mostly unknown woman.  I think you're angry instead of insulted.  Obama should have chosen Hillary.  Just about every dem as agreed, then would say...but....Biden is......Your candidate hasn't done crap.  It is so funny when his followers are asked what are his accomplishments and they can't name one!  I heard this over and over again.  He's a great speaker..he energizes...he's the Messiah!  I have gotten so sick of saying they are watching history...an African American being possible chosen for prez.  I don't give a rats arse if he's black, green, blue or whatever color.  I care more about his character, judgment and experience.  As usual, your party's first response was....she was a mayor for a small town of 9000 in Alaska.  That's all they can say?  Why not, congratulations FIRST and then the put downs?  And Obama scares the pants off of me.

Rocktobermom, good question.  Why question Palin's experience who is running WITH the experienced one while on the other side the experienced one is running WITH the unexperienced one?  Did that make sense? LOL

Good for you, Rosemary!  Glad you were all over John about Palin.  You are THE ONE!  You convinced him. LOL  However, I did get an email asking my opinion.  Perhaps John listened to the American people or WOMEN!

Can't wait for Pelosi's reaction. 

Cavuto's going to have an interview with Palin next week in Minn.  Just heard him say that.  Yep, my TV is still on.

Okay, now back to reading.

I long for the day when we'll see 4 women running.  Ok, we'll let one man in, I like Jindal too.

Every time someone brings up experience on TV, I have to laugh.  This is making the Obama people defend their candidate with his total lack of experience and bringing it to the forefront. But the funny part, they bring it up themselves.  She has no experience, they say,  then they have to gulp when they realize what they said. 

I loved it when Palin was talking about the bridge and she said "if we had wanted a bridge, we would have built a bridge" balls said the queen if I had them I would be the king! I love her! She tells it like it is!

Paulette, stop making fun of me!  Have pity.  LOL

Okay--Now where do we get the lawn signs!!!!

Shirley,

I was wondering where you were.  Of all the days to sleep in.  Whenever I write John, we're on first name basis, I'm always told to write again, so I do. 

CNN just did a nice thing on Palin, telling us even more about her.  What I like is the natural gas aspect.  Natural gas is priced artificially high because we won't tap it, (Thank you for that Madam Pelosi), and my electric bill is suffering.  So hearing that Palin is on top of that also, is better than I hoped for.

You can buy lawn signs at johnmccain.com  go to the store.  It's a donation to his campaign, by the way. 

So much to read..ya'll post to fast.

Rosemary, I didn't go to bed until about 3 AM.  I need my sleep.  PLUS, I knew McCain was not supposed to make THE announcement until noon my time.  And, when I woke up I thought I was dreaming!

That was nice of CNN.  I'm watching Fox.

I wonder if Olberman is going to blow his top.  If anyone watches MSNBC..PUKE...please tell me.  Perhaps I'll be able to view it on YouTube. 

Shokk, the Obama bunch is tired of him playing the POW card.  Someone on the "other" thread said something about his PTSD....  However, I didn't read the entire "rant" because I know the decision that McCain made choosing Palin for VP has taken the air out of their balloons. 

I need to get a couple of dozens signs to put in my yard.  Oh, I need one in my car.  I need a T-shirt. 

Just hearing that John made his decision on Thursday. 

I tried to get my sign and button but the site bogged down at the checkout----They are probably swamped----I will try later----

Oh, oh, did you hear Palin say it was her 20th anniversary to her dh.  And that she told dh she'd have a little surprise for him...and that she "delivered."  LOL  I wonder what THEY did? LOL

DFW...Good Lord, how horrible...whenever I see something like that I want to seriously kick a**, how dare he, that egotistical SOB.

I just heard Palin say she has 13 years of experience in government.  Obama had 8 years as a State Senator and they still can't find any of his votes, and 143 days in the U.S. Senate.  Palin wins.
