Thanks for Playing...

...Actually, statistically, McCain would be expected to live through at least one term. The average life expectancy for a US President in the 20th Century (disregarding the two extremes, those who were assassinated, and the two most recent - Bush and Clinton) is 76.04 years. McCain is currently 72-years-old. Ronald Reagan, arguably one of the greatest US Presidents who was instrumental in the fall of communism, was 77 years-old when he left office. To consider the advances of modern medicine, from Richard Nixon to George H.W. Bush (who is still alive), the average lifespan is 85.74. Dick Chaney had had four heart attacks before he took office, and he is about to complete his second term as Vice President of the United States.

If Palin were running for president, yes, I would vote for her over John McCain, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bob Barr, and Ralph Nader. Yes, I would be voting for McCain's running mate rather than him. As the post mentioned, conservatives have been taken for granted by candidates like John McCain. Hopefully, the party will realize that it will be successful by nominating conservative candidates like Palin and not McCain.

Statistically, .01% of the blog entry referenced the fact that she was "hot". To suggest that the author would vote for her because of her appearance one would have to only ready the first three sentences, which were really a "tongue-in-cheek" rhetorical device.

The post really introduced the folly of those who support Barack Obama, a candidate for President, that attempt to discredit the qualifications and experience of Sara Palin, a candidate for Vice President. A quick comparison reveals that her resume has more pertinent and relevant entries then their nomination for the highest executive office. It would stand to reason that Obama supporters would want to keep the whole "experience and qualifications" thing on the "down-low" because the discussion just opens the door for scrutiny of their inexperienced and unqualified candidate.

Sara Palin is pro-life. She believes that it is wrong to stab a baby in the head, crush its bones, and suck it out with a vacuum. Barack Obama, not only supports abortion, but while a state senator in the Illinois Legislature, he voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act. This legislation would have said that BABIES who survived induced labor in order to be aborted should receive medical attention instead of the inhumane practice of leaving them to die...

Think about that for a second, we live in a society where it was necessary to implement a law that says that a baby that survived an attempt to kill it, and was actually born should receive medical attention, and we have people who fought it, that said that it is "okay" to neglect it and let it die...God help us...I'm sick and am done writing for now...
