Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Commentary On Sarah Palin

Allen you know those planes are Airforce assets. They don't answer to the governor unless she would declare a state of emergency, and then only to be used for the emergency situation. The everyday operations don't flow through the governor's office, she wouldn't be consulted prior to scrambling the alert birds.

It was a joke friend. FWIW I also don't consider a VP exactly on the operational chain of command either.

Interception and resistance aren't the only considerations involved in the regular, calculated intrusion of military mat�riel from a hostile or quasi-hostile nation.

They might be USAF assets but when an "unknown rider" penetrates the ADIZ, it is Air National Guard assets that responded. After 9/11 USACOM has more postitive control, but ADIZ intercepts, particularly during the good old days of the Cold War, were primarly conducted by Air Guard and not USAF. That's not to say the AF or for tht matter Navy assets didn't, but nevertheless, the Governor does control them. Obama doesn't know an F-15 from a hole in the ground. jorge

Is this the same Sara Palin who (in the '90's) was a member of the ALaska Indenpendence Party? If the following story is correct and she ever advocated Alaskan secession from the US, she is not worthy of becomming VP.

And a Sol Olinsky Marxist who associates with known terrorists, and American hating racists and zero excecutive experience is???

You demcraps crack me up. jorge

You guys aren't doing yourselves any favors by stating she better qualified than, has better credentials than..............

I couldn't give a flyin [bleep] how she stacks up against the demo-craps, that [bleep] is nothing more than a lame excuse to cover the fact that she's inexperienced in her own right.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY I SHOULD CONSIDER VOTING HER FOR THE VP'S POSITION ON HER OWN MERITS!!!!!!!!!

Let me know when or how you intend to split your VP vote from your presidential vote. Palin could have been mayor of South Wasilla and I'd still vote the McCain/Palin ticket before the Obama/Biden.

Should she be forced to step up she will have a very good staff to depend on including, I hope, Romney as Treasury or other significant post that will leverage his commercial experience.

So, AJ you get to vote for the (1) McCain led ticket or the (2) Obama led ticket or you could just stay home which is a defacto vote for #2.

Well, do you feel lucky? (Sorry, Magnum Force was just on TV )

Good CIVICS lesson Pugs, maybe it'll sink in. bets? jorge

Y'all ought to get jobs as comedians.

If I vote for McCain it's cause I'm voting against bamma. If McCain's gonna bring a light-weight along for the ride I might as well stay home. What you two may not realize my choices are voting for my lifestyle or voting for my livelihood. A vote for McCain allows me to keep my guns and continue hunting. There's a good chance my job, along with my pension and benifits that I've work for 25 years to accure could be out the door.

Then again I really don't trust bamma to live up to his kiss and a promise he's been delivering either.

Why don't you wait and hear the candidate out? Hear her speeches, watch her debate "angry Joe". Why have you formed an opinion on her already, because the Dems and the press say so?

The only important thing is that McCain beats Obama.

If choosing a woman VP who isn't qualified to be president will help him become president by capturing some undecided Hillary-leaning women voters from middle-America, it's a smart, smart move.

Especially if it also coaxes some whining, self-pitying self-described social conservatives into getting off their asses on election day and going to the poll.

Angry..............nah. That would be a waste of energy. Need to save it for plan "B".

She's gonna have to prove herself by her actions, not by blowing smoke up my aze like most other polititions.

Sarah Palin is not Obama and she is not a Democrat are two good reasons. Keeping Obama out of Office should be enough reason to vote for her and McCain. Your thinking is as bad as your spelling.

I'm not sure I understand. You think that the McCain/Palin team will destroy the auto industry or will they destroy the Union or will they simply make your benefits go away or they will move GM to Mexico or what?

So, you're going to stick with the "Union" politically correct choice of Obama (or not vote for McCain, same thing) Instead of voting for a ticket with where one of the team is a Union member (Sara is a former union member and her husband is a current member of the Steelworkers).

I think I would look for a more Pro-labor empathy and action from the Republicans here vice the two lawyer (three if you count Obama's wife) party on the Democrat side that, as near as I can tell, have never turned a wrench. I would suggest less time for you on teamster.net for more clear thinking on this issue.

Tag Mag, you're it!!

+1, Pugs!

So, you are voting your personal interests ahead of your country. That's fine, but even in that regard you couldn't be more wrong. It is the PRIVATE SECTOR and not the gov't that will ensure your economic well-being. jorge
