Stop me if you've heard this before: "They" didn't let John McCain pick Joe Lieberman as his running mate.
Former Bush strategist Matthew Dowd gives this claim the loudest voicing I've heard yet:
"They didn't let John McCain pick the person he wanted to pick as VP. When Sarah Palin got picked instead of Joe Lieberman... that whole ready versus not ready argument was not credible."
Today, most people are focusing in on the second part of Dowd's remarks -- "He knows, in his gut, that he put somebody unqualified on the ballot... and he put the country at risk, he knows that."
But I want to linger for a while on the first thought.
Who is the "they" that has veto power over John McCain?
Isn't this his campaign?
Isn't he running for the highest executive office in the land?
Isn't he aiming to be "the decider" part deux?
How is it possible that John McCain isn't even the decider in his own campaign?
Why isn't this the McCain/Lieberman '08 ticket?
This is a question worth getting an answer to.

HUGE.and MAIN reason...Right to lifers choosing to have down syndrome child
Son going to war
She is a Woman ..to ATTEMPT to pick up the STUPID woman that were in hillarys camp
she was picked to get the evangelican vote which the witchdoctor video may have dissolved, and her daughter having child out of wedlock hurt even more
she was not properly vetted,McCain gambled that personalities would win the election and then the economy took a dump....OOPS!
The "agents of intolerence," are running John McCain and control his campaign.
Everyone has to remind their friends and family members that "the agents of intolerence," will advise John McCain to pick judges who will have the same ideological bent as Sarah Palin.
Get out and vote so that the "agent's of intolerence," will not only control the White House but vote to stop them from controlling the Courts and our lives.
I'm sure Barack was pressured to pick Hillary, but he made the right pick with Biden, and he proves it everytime you hear him speak, and do interviews. And you can tell they have a genuine respect for each other and their families, and they're on the same page. What's good about Biden is that he the type of person that will challenge Obama in the White House. He's not going to be a yes man, or just some one there to go along with his policies, like Cheney was for Bush. Biden and Obama are a good team, and what I mean by challenging him is speaking his mind, and giving Obama a different perspective on things. Palin and McCain is just a pasted together ticket, and you can tell, and it would of felt like that if Barack picked Hillary. Plus you can tell that McCain doesn't fully trust Palin to talk, but he knows that they have to, and it's too late to make any changes. I wouldn't be surprized if something were to happen to her soon.
That alone should disqualify him from being president. (In addition to the other 50 some-odd reasons...)
EVERY VOTE COUNTED, because EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
re-elect NOBODY!!!
for the sake of our nation
If we continue to allow the two party system to divide our country as it does, we allow them their takeover of our rights as free people. We all need to remind others about how the fascism spreading through our government is ruining our freedom, our Constitution, our "representative democracy", and of course, the planet.
It is time to end all the career politicians' days at our feeding trough. We cannot afford or tolerate fascism.
Until the Repugs revamp their party -- they lose. They have to get rid of their deadwood like all the old men with closed minded thinking who believe people will drop to their knees believing every word out of their mouths. Their base still lives in the world of church runs state. Sorry. The new school knows how to separate it.
