Who's the boss? Palin bills herself over McCain
Source:

Sarah Palin flipped the Republican presidential ticket around this week when she spoke about things the "Palin and McCain administration" would do in office.

To be sure, the vice presidential candidate is the top draw at joint rallies with her boss, presidential nominee John McCain. But he's still the top of the ticket and the one who gets to order the drapes in the Oval Office if they win.

Palin made the comment at a rally Thursday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, when she said she and McCain want to cut taxes for small business: "That's exactly what we're gonna do in a Palin and McCain administration." Later in her speech, she reverted to the normal order in speaking about the "McCain-Palin administration." ...

4. Just received a VERY interesting comment from Republican.
While approving comments to some of my YouTube videos, one Republican idiot ended his remarks with:

"Vote Palin '08".

Not McCain, but "Palin". I find that fascinating.

Win or lose, the GOP is CLEARLY grooming Palin for the next election. She'll have more experience by then and might actually know the answer to some of the questions she's being asked now.

5. More and more you get the feeling that old mcsame is being fitted for a box by palin.
If I was him the last thing I'd want to do is actually win this election. :scared:

6. She'd only get one term if she took over after he died, right?
Isn't that in the constitution?

Of course, that's all she'd need.

I liked this bit . . .

"Palin also referred to McCain as 'my running mate' Friday in Green Bay, Wis., as she did twice in Iowa the day before. Vice presidential candidates are usually referred to as the running mates, no matter which one is speaking."

Not too ambitious is she?

10. She could only get one term
if she served more than two years of his. If he died after serving 2 years or more, she could serve out his term, and be elected to two terms of her own.

8. If I was McCain...
and I'm dead serious. I don't say this as an Obama supporter, or to be funny, but if I was McCain, I would withdraw from the race. I don't trust any of those Republicans. He knows they don't like him, and they all love Palin. I would be scared for my life if I actually got elected.

9. She sounds "Upity"
Better watch her old Johnny. I would rather see Cindy McCain take over than Palin. Drugs or no drugs she seems smarter than Palin.

How presumptuous of her.

14. She's harbored presidential ambitions for years
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/us/politics/14palin.html?partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all

Laura Chase, the campaign manager during Ms. Palin’s first run for mayor in 1996, recalled the night the two women chatted about her ambitions.

"I said, 'You know, Sarah, within 10 years you could be governor,' " Ms. Chase recalled. "She replied, 'I want to be president.' "

16. Ha ha
This is beginning to sound like the plot for one of my favorite movies of all time, "All About Eve!" :rofl:

24. "Fasten your seatbelts"
"it's going to be a bumpy ride"

Ah, the immortal line of Bette Davis in "All Above Eve". Sort of sounds like what's going on in McPOW-land doesn't it?

18. She also runs onto the stage ahead of him. Do NOT underestimate the scope of her ambition.
I think Sarah Palin (and sponsors) is more than she seems.

If we are very lucky and we win this election, my hope is that by that time her national reputation will be tarnished beyond repair. I hope she runs back to Alaska with her tail tucked between her legs, barking that people in the Lower 48 are such meanies. But unless her corruption and extremism at every level are thoroughly exposed and the American electorate becomes disgusted by her, mark my words -- She'll Be Back.

20. Dead center
"She also runs onto the stage ahead of him. Do NOT underestimate the scope of her ambition."

I had the same observation. Do you think McGramps has noticed?

23. She's going to piss off a lot of Republicans with ambitions of their own.
How odd that she actually thinks she is deserving of this.

25. "Deserving"? Ms. Palin thinks where she is in life is all part of God's Plan for her...
... and I don't mean that in a nice fuzzy way. She is essentially a Dominionist, looking for theocracy that has nothing to do with democracy. She's part of a religious movement that is working to bring about the Apocalypse.

She's a very scary woman with very scary pals.

19. over McCain?
Probably easier on his 300 year old heart if she's on top anyway.





Of the ticket I mean. Dirty minds.

22. It's more convenient for the signs
Just like 'Scrooge and Marley' became 'Scrooge and Marley (deceased)', and 'Randall and Hopkirk' became 'Randall and Hopkirk (deceased)' ...
