And being a Governor for two years doesn't qualify one?
Mind you, four of the last five Presidents served as Governor before being elected President.
Palin is a fine person, McCain scored big bringing her to the ticket and the Dems are SOOOOO pissed. lol.
I would suggest that you consider that for the last several months John McCain has said repeatedly argued that Obama did not have enough/any foreign policy experience and that made him the wrong choice for President. So his VP is someone that has absolutely none. A little hypocritical, I think, but it was an argument that did gain some traction. Personally, I think the job is unlike any other and there is no experience that is directly applicable. One can only attempt to extrapolate based on what the individual brings to the table what kind of President or VP they will make.
I will also add to this mix that she was the Mayor of a town that had 9000 people at its max, and has been the Governor of the least populace state for a year and a half (I read somewhere that when measured by population, Alaska would be the 20th largest city in America). When you consider that each of those citizens get a 'stipend' from the State as incentive to stay, I'm at a loss as to how you consider that job as on the same level as Governor of Arkansas or Iowa or even Texas (a state in which the Leuitenant Governor is equivalent to the Governorship in most other states and the Governor is less powerful).
That said, I don't think it would be a bad thing to have less of these bloody Rhodes scholars, Harvard/Princeton/Yale grads, dynasties, etc. in the office. Time for a regular Joe/Jane. Heck, they couldn't possible do a worse job.
BTW, I do appreciate the irony of this post in light of my previous one.09-01-08 11:34 PMLike 0 -
- amazinglygracelessRetired ModThe thing that amazes me is all the right wingers complaining about
the Dems drinking the Kool-Aid when it is totally obvious that they
have also. Double the serving if this thread is any indication.
I wonder how many of these McCain/Palin (ugh) supporters have
done any of their own research beyond listening to Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter and the rest of that screeching crew.09-01-08 11:39 PMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired Mod
of me is completely valueless. Sorry, but an invisible person on a forum ain't
gonna cost me any sleep.
I know I have intellectual honesty when it comes to matters of politics, can you
say the same. In your words, and not Hannity's.
because all I have seen from you are talking points and cliches.09-01-08 11:44 PMLike 0 - The thing that amazes me is all the right wingers complaining about

How about this: John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President
I note that this TV ad is a pretty decent distortion of the facts.09-01-08 11:50 PMLike 0 -
- Just out of curiosity, are you evenhanded in your attribution of comments made by third-parties? For example, do you refer to to O'Reilly and Limbaugh "Third-Party Attack Hounds" for McCain? I guess the question does require that you believe O'Reilly and Limbaugh are "attack hounds".
Also, how can you applaud his stand if you truly believe that he is to cowardly to say what he really believes and enlists "attack hounds" to do it for him? Seems disingenious to have both in the same statement.
Have you ever read the Daily Kos? They were saying that Palin's child with downs syndrome was actually her daughter's baby. Offering no facts just speculation that ran with a story. It's amazing it took the National Inquirer to bring down Edwards when the main stream media ignored the story for almost a year.
Like or not O'Reiily and Limbaugh deal with facts.09-01-08 11:51 PMLike 0 - You sure?

Just the same tired name calling. There was maybe one or two comments about Obama's tax plan that wasn't even a direct quote.
Again if one disagrees with the right they are labled unamerican and anti-military. - posted a pretty long thread about why I couldn't vote for a Republican this election. You know, I didn't call anyone a name or use a single slogan.
If you want me to vote for a Republican, give me a real reason. I have a lot of respect for John McCain. He and I served in the military during the same era. He is a genuine hero. Also, why should I hate Obama? He has worked hard for the less fortunate among us in the state legislature and as a community activist -i and there is something wrong with that?
I do remember an Illinois politician with less experience who turned out to be a pretty good president. Can anyone guess who? Reread the thread; I think the right won the mocking, name calling in this thread.

While his wife was undergoing cancer treatments? No way, that was just Limbaugh's personal attacks. That is no way true.
And not his kid? Really, now?09-01-08 11:55 PMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired Mod
read various websites, and go to EVERY candidates websites, view the position
papers, digest all that info and MAKE MY UP OWN FRIGGIN MIND.
There is nothing wrong with listening to any one person, except you only get
one view. And in some cases total lies: i.e. Hannity's saying Senator Durbin accused the troops of committing war crimes. Absolutely not what he said and not in any way true.
So facts are not facts, depending on where you get these so called facts
they can be skewed to the commentators way of thinking. Got that!09-01-08 11:56 PMLike 0 - I read through this entire thread and didn't read one policy related post that would sway me either way.

yea, if i were Ms. OBama, I would take a $300,000/year stipend to do 'commmunity activism' work.
