Moo hoo ha ha.
Anyway, on to your major points.
I think you need to figure out that "maverick" doesn't automatically equal "good." I mean, Caligula was being a "maverick"
when he appointed his horse to the Senate. Didn't help his ass much in the long run. Hell, if Huckabee had more legs or Romney had... well, if Romney had
a personality, McCain's campaigning on the "maverick" act would've been a total failure.
As for Palin's typical Republican-hood, I'd honestly say that she's a pretty typical Republican. She's a creationist, rabidly anti-abortion,
connected to the oil industry, willing to spend millions on her pet projects while cutting taxes, demands absolute personal loyalty from her subordinates,
parochial, inflexible and incurious. Sounds like a Republican to *me*. Aside from the Copperhead issue, anyway.
Excuse me? There are Democrats that are pro-life and believe in creationism. Jsut like there are
Republicains that are pro-choice and don't. And conntected to the oil iondustry? That's like saying
someone is connected with terrorism because they once drove a cab with Osama Bin Ladin as a
passenger. You also need to be more specific on those 'special projects' cause all I am finding
on that is infrastructure spending. and I sure as hell want the loyalty of people working under me
not people that would slit my throat the moment my back was turned.
You really need to divest yourself from this 'Democrat good. Republicain bad.' mentality and look at
the people involved. It also helps to try to see the logic in both sides arguements and as of right now
McCain's arguements are more logical, not better mind you but they make more sense.
