It seems like McCains VP selection Sarah Palin has a veiw dems on edge.

You know, this is going to be very interesting. I wouldn't say Dems are on edge though. We just had a great convention and perhaps swayed a good chunk of Hillary supporters our way. So that was a plus. But I think Palin will go through an intense public vetting for the next 60 days.

I think the country is captivated with this pick though. If anyone, the GOP are on edge and hoping she can deliver. But the thing Dems, especially Obama and Biden, have to be careful about is the issue of gender and not coming accross as disrespectful or talking down to her.

Hey Gtripp and Sammy, trying attacking the message and not the sender, it makes you look stupid.
I don't believe I've ever personally attacked saden, while we're on the opposite side of most issues, I don't believe our debate has ever devolved into a personal attack.

If you took my message to be that, it was certainly not.

What are you saying, since I don't like them and I disagree with them I should be able to go out there and shoot them in the face? Bomb them to submission? What is there to negotiate? At least with respect to Iran there room for negotiation. With Iran I can negotiate with them by offering to help them build clean energy power plants in return for giving up nuclear aspiration. Hell, I can even offer to build and maintain their nuclear plants. What do I have to offer pro-lifers? Make abortion illegal in odd years?

My stance on partial birth abortion is very clear (http://www.thewarpath.net/parking-lot/18429-sggs-whats-your-issue-poll.html#post314417).
In at nutshell, it just doesn't make sense to me that many on the left show more outward disdain for pro-lifers than for the leadership of Iran.

You seemed to have a great deal of disdain in your original post for people who believe that abortion is murder and murder is wrong in any case. The intent of these people is to save lives. While you view them as intruding on a woman's freedom, they are not trying to kill people and are (in a vast majority of cases) non-violent. Your opinion of hard core pro-lifers is consistent with many people on the left.

Many on the left also share the opinion that we can reason with and negotiate with the leadership of Iran who has sponsored terrorism against the U.S. for decades, has said publicly that millions of people in Israel should be "wiped off the face of the earth", and that the U.S. is the great Satan. Clearly their intent is to take lives, they are very violent, and I don't see how there is any way we can negotiate in good faith with them.

(And to be clear, I'm NOT saying that the American left is advocating terrorism or for destroying Israel...or that we should be shooting hard-core pro-lifers in the face)

(We're actually not too far off in our opinions on the abortion issue itself)

WOW! I was stationed in Japan during the late '80s, I got there right after the KAL incident. For the life of me I can't remember the governor of Alaska being anywhere near the chain of command for any response scenarios to USSR threats.... I was really hoping the GOP would come up with a better argument to cover her inexperience in foreign policy than Alaska IS right next door to Russia.

I thought Fox was home of the "No Spin" zone. :laughing-

Anybody else think McCain's wife is a little scary looking? Like... a vampire, scary looking?
