Default Did Anyone See the GOP Shock Tonight?

I was watching the Republican National Convention with my friends & family and we were all shocked by this (and Shawn says he doesn't even believe it till he sees it)...

Cindy McCain's hobby is DRIFT RACING!!!

She has built her own cars with her sons and even references to tooling them herself.

They had a little blurb about it in her bio video and I hopped on the internet to find out more...so here you go:

Full Throttle Drift Report

CNN News Report
http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=129943

Now that's another checkmark as to why I'm voting for the McCain's & the Palins...they are real people!!!

I didn't say that she wasn't into drifting - i was just stating that she doesn't own a drift team as it was told to me.. I have read that she drifts for fun and that is cool I will admit.

2006bluetc - that's a funny statement about you having more experience lol

I watched a little bit, when McCain walked out to the podium, he reminded me of Tim Conway doing his old guy bit, and his wave, not trying to start anything, but stiff armed, straight out in front of him, you would think that his advisers would have him correct that, looks a little Hitler'ish.

Umm, yeah...you do realize that he can't raise his arms any higher because he was tortured as a POW...right?

Right.
What exactly has Obama run? Nothing. What experience does he have that would qualify him to be pres? None. He is a young charismatic guy with big ideas. That's not experience and it doesn't qualify him for the country's top job. He's a freshman junior senator who has never run a thing..period. He's simply not qualified. McCain is.

Knew he was a POW, didn't know he couldn't raise his arms higher than his chest, elbows must not bend either. I'm not trashing the guy, just thought it looked funny when he came out, Tim Conway went thru my head when I saw him. Not an Obama fan, McCain will be getting my vote.

After researching both as I was open minded, McCain / Palin have my vote 110%. The Plain nomination was the smartest thing they could have done.

Very cool about Cindy, that was never a thought in my mind she was into el-drifto!

Well with this weeks blogging about the 17 year old being pregnant........the 14 year old calling Lindsey Lohan a lesbian........and now the comment in referance to Diddys comment about why a person from Alaska would know squat about blacks and the 14 year old answering back that "She even sat next to them on the bus to school one time".............................

Yes this all was on the internet this week..........I would say this.......

Ashton Kucher just PUNKED America..........Lord.......I really wish Presidential dirt throwing was a thing of the past.........America needs a good leader........we got a lot of problems right now and in the near future..........

Whoever gets in office needs to step up and lead.........as a felon I cannot vote.......so my opinion does not matter........but if you can vote......please do so and let yours matter....America needs a good leader.........who that is I do not know....

Obama can read a teleprompter (unlike McCain). He is a good speaker. Generally speaking he has a great idea of where the country should be and has an idea of how to get it there. He was a Civil Rights lawyer and taught Constitutional Law. McCain doesn't have that kind of an education. He was in the military and went to a Naval Academy to learn how to fly airplanes, but that's about it. I think Obama will be much more likely to fix the current state of our country than McCain would.
