Update: McCain Selects Gov. Sarah Palin as Running Mate

I appreciate all the support guys. For the sake of transparency I must confess that budw38 and I have a history. You see, a while back he tried to hit on me and I told him I don't swing that way and wasn't willing to play on his team. Naturally he was disappointed but I was kind enough to inform him that he could find like minded sausages in San Fransisco. Obviously he has some lingering animosity about being rejected so be kind to him.


budw38, keep looking buddy, i'm sure you'll find your sausage soulmate someday.

Let it be. Let the front office handle this one

Woh dude...that's a tad uncalled for. I certainly do not agree with Saden at all on his stance here...in fact he's so far off the mark, it's kind of amusing, but I keep my comments to myself. Just because he is a FAR lefty, and thus a little confused does not make him a bad person, or a "chicken-shit pussy". Is this how you treat everyone with a differing opinion than yours? Saden does not deserve that at all.
No , but when I here people bragging about hating people , celebrating others being hurt ,I might respond that way . I doubt that I have ever made coments like that on this site before . If you want to , take the time to read his prior comments over the years and then mine . As far as saden being a " lefty " , most of my friends and family are left , I do not care nor do I hate others as he has stated . If my comment was off base , sorry .

Well, I find that I disagree quite significantly with saden lately (on current events), and I can't say I care lately for his approach (to paraphrase "Everyone affiliated with the Republican party is as osidious as a used tampon") but what you did was an over the line, personal attack directed at another member on this board.

Which of course isn't allowed.

So here's the deal, you have until, let's say 2pm today to apologize to saden (on this thread for the world to see) and then maybe we won't consider banning you. If you don't, you're gone for 6+ months. Of course, I'm not the only mod here so someone else may not be so kind and just decide to ban you outright right now.

That's not what I said. My beef is with the Republican party platform, domestic and foreign policy, its leadership in congress and the current administration. I ain't got nothing against you.

I don't have any sympathy for Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the Patriots. They don't warrant it and Brady going down couldn't happen to a better team. If you find this line of thinking offensive that's OK.

I thought you said the platform and its base were repulsive. Maybe I incorrectly took "base" to mean those who have elected them. Either way, it's neither here nor there.

Who cares what saden < saten > thinks , he's a flag burning , crybaby , chiken-shit pussy .

Totally uncalled for.

See you in 2 weeks.

You guys preaching peace and good will regarding Iraq are delusional. If you don't understand that we are in Iraq for *us* and not them, then you are waaaaayyy too naive.

i guess everyone is alittle naive when they don't share your opinion?

No, it's not about my opinion. I want peace worldwide, and I don't really have a problem paying for it, if I thought we could achieve it.

Understand that I'm not saying we couldn't achieve peace in Iraq -- I just don't think it is why we are there. In fact, I believe everything our government does (and most/all others) is rooted in self-interest.

The American people seem to like McCain's choice if the polls are to be believed. Clearly, the Democrats were right to be frightened of her. She's a definite force multiplier. If the left cannot destroy her, and they will try to destroy her, they may do what seemed unthinkable just days ago...LOSE. And boy, that would just be a million laughs. If they can't win this year, they may as well go the way of the Whigs.
