Dems Call Palin Experience Ad ‘Ridiculous’

“Gibbs argued, however, that Palin would not be able to enumerate many differences between Bush-Cheney and McCain-Palin.”
I have to disagree with that one. She could, if so predisposed.
After all, to the best of my knowledge, Bush and Cheney never advocated secession from the Union for Texas or Wyoming.
If McCain was looking to put a little space between his campaign and Bush/Cheney, this could do it.

Don’t be absurd! The names are different!

The entire McCain campaign is turning into a Hillary Clinton copycat. These used talking points from the primary won’t work.

The Dems gleefully attack Palin’s experience, but not once, NOT ONCE, do they offer any defense of Obama’s experieence, the man at the TOP of their ticket, who needs to be ready from day one, but he is far from that.
Obama himself tried to defend it, suggesting that his management of his own campaign constitutes “experiecne”.
Seriously, Obama, SERIOUSLY? So it’s not executive experience, not legislative expereience, but now…CAMPAIGN EXPERIENCE that makes you ready for President?
Obama will go down in history as a huge political knock knock joke, what a clown.

All the republicans need now, is for Dan Quayle to add his endorsement!

At least dan quayle is happy, having shed the title of “Worst VP pick Ever”.

Obama and Palin cancel each other out. McCain Biden cancel each other out. What are we arguing about? They are the SAME! Who gives a damn! Your are arguing over packaging instead of what is inside the package. Tell me does it hurt when the media pulls your puppet strings? Nah, you think for yourself. That’s why you PANIC when the power goes out and the tv goes off. That new sensation that comes over you then is waht’s called an origional thought. Try it sometime. You might learn something.

To Samurai, I bet you would have argue another way when McCain would have listen to your suggestion and selected Liberman.You and Obama Campaign would have come and said that we need “Change” from status quo. The outsider Palin is the only answer to respond to Dems

Barak does know hoe to work the system, very well. With todays press we may never know how much money he got in grants from the federal government and to whom he steered the bounty to. We all know one thing though, his time in Chicago politics and as a state Senator didn’t do a whole lot to improve schools for the residents of Chicago.

Oh Sarah, Oh Sarah, You shudda said, “No”
Oh Sarah, Oh Sarah
Where did you roam?
She took off with Johnny
But, she’s soon comin’ home
He took her down there
It’s all sun and no snow
Her life’s all shinin’
With lovers’ new glow
Oh Sarah, Oh Sarah
It’s scary down there
There’s tabloids and Oprah
They’ll mention your hair
Pollsters and pundits
Are goin’ to scream
Though they can’t catch a salmon
And ain’t “Mushed!” a team
Oh Sarah, Oh Sarah
It’s like a quiz show.
They’ll laugh and they’ll point
Every time you don’t know.
They’ll laugh at your voice
And they’ll laugh at your clothes
They’ll laugh at the glasses
At the end of your nose
Oh Sarah, Oh Sarah
You shudda said, “No”
When John started huggin’
And kissin’ you so
John only needs you
For one body part
And I’m tellin you, Sarah
It isn’t your heart
Oh Sarah, Come home
We’re all missin’ you so
Don’t wait till November
You’ll miss half the snow

David
and mccain has done tons of great things for arizona… and hey palin did great things in alaska too
oh wait…. nope…

Sarah Palin’s experience in foreign affairs meets and probably exceeds that of Barack Obama. That’s why the Dems are trashing Palin so badly. They look like fools. Dems are demanding the Republican vice presidential candidate have qualifications their own presidential candidate doesn’t have. LOL all the way to the polls. . .

Palin lied within the first 650 words in her introduction to America. Her real motto is not ‘Country First’, it’s ‘Alaska First’ (unless Country means Alaska…).
The RNC doesn’t want to talk about issues because they are on the wrong side of the issues.

Obama’s training as a community organizer (getting people out to vote), is a time consuming thing (as I do that), it’s rewarding. It’s not a huge responsibility compared to being the administrator of a large state balancing a budget and making a payroll. Obama’s team of professionals are running his campaign. That’s not the same. I think Palin should debate Obama. What change is Biden? If he runs for president in the next election, would that be change. What’s his age? He’s just an insider (hello) to shore up Obama’s foreign affairs experience. Dems disrespected Mrs. Clinton for him and Biden. Everyone knows that. Sarah takes on the same old system and she’s being attacked by the political government liberal machine. Wouldn’t it be great if she got in and opened up all sorts of investigations on house/senate members from BOTH parties. Can they be scared? Or is it her views that fear? I hope she gets in. God Bless this American hero and this strong reformer, Palin.

If Sarah Palin is a joke, so is Barack Obama. Neither has much experience in foreign affairs. The difference is: Palin is the Vice presidential candidate, while Obama is at the top of the ticket. THE WRONG GUY IS AT THE TOP OF THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET!!!! That’s why you’re all freaking out over the Palin nomination. McCain doesn’t have to get all of Hillary supporters. He doesn’t have to get a majority of them. He doesn’t even have to get a substantial minority. He only needs a few percent, and judging from the anger I see in women, he’s going to get them.

I find the hate smears against Sarah are ridiculous. I find that people who attack her are attempting to cover for O’bama’s own self esteem issues or their own. Perhaps you all should try to vette your own candidate and worry about his connection to Ayres, his lawsuit (obamacrimes.com), and perhaps his sexist issues. Keep protecting him, when states like Pennsylvania bounce him out of the race, maybe you all will learn. The only reason he was historic is because he is an African American. NOT an African American who accomplished ANYTHING!!!!That is the record!

I don’t think it’s borderline rediculous. It’s totally rediculous.
Obama spend years organizing and leading people in a city far larger in population than Alaska. That was before he went to the Illinois Legislature and then to the U.S. Senate. Sarah Palin is simply not qualified. She was chosen because the GOP would not accept someone who wasn’t a “Social Conservative” (which actually means “Christian Theocrat”) and he wouldn’t accept Romney or Huckabee. So he chose Palin.
She’s the worst parts of Dan Quayle and James Watt combined. Hopefully the American public will get to know her. If they do, it’s Obama in a landslide (if they actually count the votes.)

If people want to try to pull out the “executive experience” tagline against Obama, then the same should be applied to McCain. McCain didn’t govern over any cities in Arizona, nor did he govern the state of Arizona.
So the “executive experience” tagline can be played both ways, which is why comparing her to Obama is ridiculous..

Say WHAT! OB without a tele-prompter?

Reading the comments here I get a strong sense of how the left is panicking. Buh Bye Hussein!

I saw this today — see below where she says that she is excited to speak to Americans. It seems odd — something someone outside of the country would say.
The Alaska governor walked through the nearly empty Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul and spent about 10 minutes checking out the podium where she’ll give her prime-time acceptance speech as Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential nominee.
Palin told reporters that she feels “great.”
“I’m excited to speak to Americans. This will be good. It’s about reform,” she said.

Lori the kool-aid drinker if you think Obama writes his own speeches you probably believe in alians from outer space. Obama can’t be coherant with out a teleprompter.

To Christie, Community organizer does not require to make any critical decision or do negotiations. The only decision they make is to push the people to vote. Do you want somebody to push his views on you? Even the husband and wives divorce today when there is a conflicting views. This is America. Everyone’s view and privacy is respected.

If Palin is such a poor McCain choice and an inept VP candidate, then why does the left criticize her at all? McCain made a foolish decision and he will lose, right? I mean, Obama has his 50% in the polls now. He’s the superior candidate, right? There’s nothing to worry about. It’s all in the bag.

Unsurprised
“No Surprises From Palin, McCain Team Says”-Washington Post
Senior McCain officials described themselves as “unsurprised” today as huge storms of locusts flew from Wasilla, Alaska and descended upon McCain campaign headquarters. “Locusts were vetted. Locusts were vetted in the vet” said one campaign official, who spoke without attribution out of concern that he would be devoured by a verminous flying cloud. The campaign also said that they were nonplussed by reports that the rivers were running black with ashes, that family pets were begin to speak in human voices, declaiming “Release Sarah!”, and that a huge spreading stain was beginning to blot out the Northern sun. “Vetted” said the campaign.
“There are exciting new studies that show that locusts can be used as a source of biodegradable fuel” said Newt Gingrich, as he hunkered down to avoid the black marble obelisks falling from the sky around him. “Palin, if she can be said to have played a role in bringing about these new biofuel resources, should be praised for her innovative role in the solution to our future energy demands”.
“These events firmly demonstrate Palin’s deep connection to traditional modes of traditional expression, in traditional forms, traditionally.” said William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard. “Experience, in the face of these more traditional events, is overrated…” continued Kristol, before ending the interview to wrap himself head-to-toe in mosquito netting and swallowing a bitter tasting anti-malarial drug, the taste of which, as his lips contorted, he noted to be “surprisingly refreshing.”
Palin’s schedule in the upcoming days of the Republican National Convention has been cut short due to, as one McCain communications aide reported, a desire not to “let the magic out of the bottle too quickly.” “Sarah is a precious resource, who each moment brings a new vitality and energy to every worker on the campaign” said the aide, while fighting to remove the nest of serpents which had suddenly materialized on the floor beneath him, and were now slowly ascending his legs. “Do these bite, or just slink?” asked the aide, who spoke on conditions of anonymity so as not to provoke or otherwise alienate the reptiles.
Meanwhile, as the heavens darkened, the seas began to boil, and a voice tore through the clouds shouting, in deep, stentorian tones to one and all: “It was a Mistake!”, campaign offices described themselves as “unperturbed”. “Serpents materializing, house pets suddenly called to vocal advocacy, Celestial callings to revise and repent…Vetted” said the spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was turning into a pillar of salt. “Everything that was vetted was vetted in the vet.”

“Obama spend years organizing and leading people in a city far larger in population than Alaska.”
I am just so dissapointed by the comments of people in my own party. Are you kidding me. Obama spent years organizing . . . from that experience to his years as a law professor, everyone admits he left no impression behind, that he never had any substance or true success. I celebrate Barack’s experiences because everything matters, but enough discrediting this woman. I am voting for Obama, but please do not delude yourself that he is more qualified that she is.

Why are Republicans ashamed of being Republicans? I don’t see anything that says “REPUBLICAN” in the stadium on TeeVee

excuse me, “his” -> “her”.

pelosiforpres and all the rest of you morons … OMG,do you OWN a dictionary???? You can’t expect to be taken seriously if you can’t spell. You must be one of Dubbya’s children that got left behind.

“Obama has a record or working with both dems and reps.”
Are you insane? What record are you speaking of you delusional supporter? How are you any different than someone defending McCain or Palin. You use your own bias to exaggerate your own support and discredit others. Give it a break!

All candidates carry baggage. Both Mr. Obama and Ms. Palin are smart, articulate, and passionate about their respective policy positions. It makes for an interesting election because of their meaningful differences. Having a choice is good for America. Supporters of Mr. Obama you talk a good game about taking the “high road” but when the chips are down you resort to the same tactics of personal attacks which you claim to dislike about the Republicans. America vote based on policy and not rhetoric. It becomes harder when you remove your emotions and objectively study the candidates position on a multitude of issues because they each have positions on different issues which I favor over the other. I am looking forward to the debates and other information in the next few weeks to see how the candidates will implement their policies.

The world according to John McCain and Sarah Palin is one in which America is triumphant at home and abroad thanks to the Bush legacy, rolling to victory internationally and mastering its domestic economic problems. If daily news, like reports of the 10 French soldiers killed by a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan and the U.S. government’s imminent nationalization of much of the American mortgage-lending industry, would seem to deny such a rosy scenario, then that only shows skeptics lack the courage that sustained McCain as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
There you have it encapsulated, the McCain campaign for president, an irrational mélange of patriotic swagger and blindness to reality that is proving disturbingly successful with uninformed voters. How else to explain the many millions of Americans who tell pollsters they prefer a continuation of Republican rule when so many of them are losing their homes to foreclosure and the nation is devastated by out-of-control military spending?
The economy is in a downward spiral, the national debt is at an all-time high, the dollar is an international disgrace and inflation in July had the steepest rise in 27 years, driven by oil prices fivefold higher than when George W. Bush invaded the nation with the world’s second-largest petroleum reserves.

Many of the liberal elites hate and are ashamed of regular joe and jane american. Read Sally Quinn’s blog. Read the blogs from well known journalists. I use to adore Diane Sawyer. She has let me down and she probably doesn’t even care so she can be accepted in her circles.

Palin is a shrill cheerleader joke!
A state of 600,000 population with 24,000 employees would not seem like a very efficiently run one.
For that matter, if you really want to talk “executive” experience, McCain has none either. All his life he’s lived off the family, the State or the ladies!
LOL…oh, forgot, he was a POW…LOL.

How come Dems cares about “experience” now? Obama with the least experience in the history for presidency is just a joke if he said experience matters!! Obama is running for “change” not for “experience”…
“Experience” doesn’t matter to Dems, to Obama, that is what they won over Hillary in Primary..

Chris: “All candidates carry baggage.”
True enough, Chris. But not all candidates want their state to seceed from the Union.

All I could say is let her speak! Let her state her objectives and goals…I mean let’s face it, the coverage of her so far has been pretty one-sided so it is time to let her speak and defend her record. Hopefully the mainstream media will cover her fairly and properly. I wont’ hold my breath.
She has hands on experience running a government..I don’t understand how this is not experience. She has more experience leading people than Obama does. Who cares if he is a Senator, it doesn’t mean he can lead either. She also has experience leading a state that has a focus on energy and those dealings and for America – this is a large issue for the future. I think this is important to note and will make up a VERY large part of foreign dealings in the future.

Re: Why are Republicans ashamed of being Republicans? I don’t see anything that says “REPUBLICAN” in the stadium on TeeVee
The signs say, “We are Americans”.

Tim, I don’t allow politicians of either party to dictate my destiny. I’m in IT and will adapt to whatever happens in the Ohio economy, as I always have. The major issue for my family will be federal taxes. I don’t expect McCain to impact me negatively, which will allow me to save and invest more for my childrens’ college educations and my own retirement. Obama is basically targeting people like me to fund his vision of a socialist utopia, so if he is elected I’ll simply shelter more income and restructure my portfolio to ensure his administration is denied as much tax revenue as possible.

Someone check Obama’s time spent in his committee assignments and you will find that he claims many but attended few.
He has no experience…and being a community organizer is like being a member of the neighborhood watch group.

I wonder why the media keeps referring to Palin as a small town mayor, but doesn’t refer to Obama as a community organizer?? And why don’t we discuss who he was organizing with? Experience??And the now age old question, what if Palin has to become president, who will do foreign policy….by god, maybe she will pick someone like Biden to be her VP. The medias arguements and focus are right out of the Obama play book, for they want so bad for him to become pres, not for what he really brings to the table, but for the show. Fair and balanced, riight..Afraid you don’t have the inside track on this woman, and the fact she is a woman really frightens the left, just ask Hillary.

S.O.S.: “How come Dems cares about “experience” now?”
That’s an oversimplification of the situation.
Palin is a governor, and as both Obama and Biden have said, her qualification for higher office is up to the voters, who will judge her views, temperment, and performance in office.
But Obama supporters have noted the hypocrisy in McCain’s words, attacking Obama as “not ready,” acknowledging because of his age and health issues that he needs a running mate who is ready, and then picking Palin.
And the connection between Palin and this fringe “Alaska First” separatist party is too amazing – proof that truth is stranger than fiction.

Paul, you can’t be serious, but thanks for the chuckle. I’ve read political press since the 80′s and have never seen such open and transparent leftist dogma spewed by the mainstream media than I have this WEEK. And why question Obama’s experience? See my next post.

They are doing the babies like they always do. Can’t you see that. They put down the teen for having a baby. So, she’s having a baby. Kids explore sex. Parents cannot watch over their kids 24/7. You give them info and guidance. That’s all you can do as parents. We love and respect the baby not disregard the baby, a life and make a decision that life or the young teen’s life is of value. When you do not believe in God, you cannot have the real understanding of life. The people behind the smears are truly hateful. I didn’t even care to vote this year but now, I am voting even if I have to walk to the polls.

My favorite is Cindy McCain’s comment that Gov. Palin understands Russia because Alaska is near Russia? Could either Ms. McCain or Gov. Palin explain that please? Oh wait, Palin is still under wraps.

Tim
obama has proven that he has the judgment and knowledge of foreign policy. He has a great view of what america should be…
obama has shown he has far superior judgment and ideas as well as beliefs to those of john mccain
when asked about the iraq war i believe palin said “i havent given it much thought”

McCAIN’S BIG REFORMER?? I don’t think so!
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin employed a lobbying firm to secure almost $27 million in federal earmarks for a town of 6,700 residents while she was its mayor,” The Washington Post’s Paul Kane reports. “There was $500,000 for a youth shelter, $1.9 million for a transportation hub, $900,000 for sewer repairs, and $15 million for a rail project — all intended to benefit Palin’s town, Wasilla, located about 45 miles north of Anchorage.”
“In fiscal year 2002, Wasilla took in $6.1 million in earmarks — about $1,000 in federal money for every resident. By contrast, Boise, Idaho — which has more than 190,000 residents — received $6.9 million in earmarks in fiscal 2008,” Kane adds. “All told, Wasilla benefited from $26.9 million in earmarks in Palin’s final four years in office…
In February, Palin’s [governor's] office sent Sen. Stevens a 70-page memo outlining almost $200 million worth of new funding requests for Alaska.”
Palin, the gift that just keeps on giving!!!

Re: My favorite is Cindy McCain’s comment that Gov. Palin understands Russia because Alaska is near Russia? Could either Ms. McCain or Gov. Palin explain that please? Oh wait, Palin is still under wraps.
If I were the governor of Alaska, I would know a lot about Russia too since it’s so close to my state.

“If I were the governor of Alaska, I would know a lot about Russia too since it’s so close to my state.”
It’s very close, how many times has she been there?

Tim, policies enacted by administrations have huge and long-reaching impacts, sometimes over multiple decades. We’re STILL dealing with the fallout of FDR’s and LBJ’s policies! And decreasing taxes very definitely improves economies and has been proven empirically ad nauseum. Go ahead and quadruple taxes on gasoline and see if the economy stands still.

Hey McCain,
Why no press interviews from your new sweetheart? Are you and the Republicans afraid???
You can’t hide her forever John. This is not looking good!!
Everybody wants to see her on Meet the Press for an hour this Sunday John, do you this you can set that up?
The American people want to know what kind if lightweight you picked as VP?
If she isn’t just some beauty queen bimbo, then roll her out in front of the press!!!
We are not going to let you pull that Chelsey Clinton deal!!!
The Republicans are running scared now!!
Vote for real leadership, Obama/Biden ’08!!!

Us democrats should just kick back and relax until after Palin’s speach. McCain and Palin are making a fool of themselves, no need for us to intervene here. Let the press do the job. They McCain/Palin ticket can barely keep it’s head aboove water. they are sinking.

People may still remember: obama said he got more foriegn policy experience because he ha been lived in more foriegn countries during his childhood…
Is that a joke?

All that talk about moral values, abstinence and bla-bla-bla. Now what do they have to say ????

If Obama could even claim he is ready for preseident, why not Palin?? How could Obama be better than Palin?

To Jim in OH and Bhrandon, Economy can be only revived by creating new opportunities.
Manipulating taxes is a myopic vision.

Palin as a VP candidate is no worse than FDR as a VP candidate in 1920 when he was 38 years old. I am a 40 year old unemployed female engineer. I’m voting for McCain based on his plans NOT to increase taxes on businesses that create jobs. I don’t have an income so a TAX break from the democrats means nothing to me. I don’t care about Equal Pay since all I want is a job that uses my college education and my independence back by being a wage earner.

The dems are pissed off because a WOMAN is more qualified than their messiah. How typically sexist.
Why does Obama call women “Sweetie”?

The comparison in the ad isn’t “borderline ridiculous” it is over the top ridiculous!
Listen McCain camp- Americans looked at Obama’s experience and resume, and judged it to be sufficient. 12 years of lawmaking experience. In the view of the American people, Obama passed the test.
Palin fails the test, and worse, McCain failed his first presidential test- miserably. Worst VP pick ever.

Elle your engineering job is in China or India. You think McCain is going to rollback the free trade agreements?

The topic no one is talking about in this race is intelligence – Democrats have it and the Republicans don’t. Period.
I know Rush Limbaugh and his ilk have made it unfashionable and “elitist” to be intelligent, but when I was growing up I, and many others, believed that the president and vice president should be the best and the brightest. That sure doesn’t seem to be the case these days. Look at what eight years of having a moron in the White House have given this country.
The facts are this: In this complex and diverse world, John McCain and Sarah Palin are simply too stupid to run this country.

Stephen K: Perfect —- done.

Re: It’s very close, how many times has she been there?
What does that have to do with anything? Let’s flip this. Barack went to Iraq for the first time a few months ago. He said there were 57 STATES!!!

The selection of Palin shows that the extreme religious right owns McCain, just as they owned W. Her church’s statement of beliefs includes a believe that non-Christians will “burn in a lake of fire.” She believes that rape victims and incest victims should have to carry their preganancies to term. She slashed funding for housing for teen mothers. She believes in teaching creationism in school. Even her so-called reform bona fides are bogus. She voted for the “bridge to nowhere” before she voted against it, and lobbied for earmarks as a mayor.

“She ‘took on the oil producers.
He gave big oil billions in subsidies and giveaways.”
So…all those big oil subsidies then…didn’t they go to Palin’s state, Alaska? Isn’t that how her state got its huge surplus? So her excellent budgeting skills came, then, from big oil subsidies? Those big oil subsidies that Republicans set up and approved?
The Republicans contradicting themselves.

Paul,
Your Dems picked Obama even he has kept friend with indicted Chicago political fixer for 17 years, sit in the most racist church for 20 yrs, and talked down blue colar workers…..
Palin will be much better than Obama, Americans will prove that to dems hypcrites..

To Jenn, Thanks for acknowledge what Palin did for her state. Obama did not do that for Chicago.

uh oh, Jim in OH let the cat out of the bag. The MSM is working Overtime to force Palin out because they Obama is toast otherwise.

Re: Republican presidency will further alienate and isolate you. The Neocons have done incalculable damage to your great country. Time to stop the bleeding.
God Bless the supportive pro America supporters in your lovely country. Have a nice week!

I can’t wait for Obama to be president so I can quit my job and get free things! Free health insurance! No taxes ’cause I’ll have no income above poverty! Hey, no incentive to work feels great – thanks Mr. O!

Come on, McCain supporters, admit it. Y’all are just upset because you’ve got the weirder ticket.

“Am I the only one to notice how the republicans on here are in a state of panic? ”
Yes. Because I notice the exact opposite. Barry and his bots have opened up Pandora’s box.

Sarah should honorbly declin the VP nomination now

Huh, geevill, I must have seen a different advance copy. Mine says:
If you elect me as vice president, I promise to stop trying to make Alaska an independent nation. Also, I’ll stop trying to get my brother-in-law fired.

Am I the only one to notice how the republicans on here are in a state of panic?
==========================================
No, you’re not. The reason why is because the media is doing the job that McCain should have been doing for the past five months since he clinched the nomination. Republicans are terrified because, like McCain, they realize that they know nothing about this woman. At all.

Re: Christie: “He said there were 57 STATES!!!”
Shameful, I agree.

UPDATE:
We should all quit our jobs, for the Big O will provide for us with his campaign money-making prowess. Sovereign Wealth Funds can buy American and provide for us! Social Security problem solved!
I had no incentive to work before but with O, I can actually live it!

Its a relief that our media have moved on from Obama mania/obsession. Now we hear of him only in reference to Palin. anybody feel the same,yeah its negative I’ll even take that for now
McCain/Palin 08

Ummmm, why are the Rethugs comparing Palin to Obama?
Obama is running against McCain, not Palin.

Re: Ummmm, why are the Rethugs comparing Palin to Obama?
Obama is running against McCain, not Palin.
Look up. Read the main story.

-
Most anything that will benefit them goes with the leftists. That includes trashing a teenage girl who got “unlucky”. Just like Obama supporting and/or abiding racists and anti-Americans like Wright, Pfleger, Resko, Farrakhan, Ayres and Dohrn. People of low moral fiber.
-

Meanwhile, Obama’s documented associations with multiple anti-American radicals is merely meaningless noise from the evil Republican spin machine. Not even worth mentioning, really.
==========================================
Kind of like Palin’s “association” with a member of a group that wants Alaska to secede from the Union. And by “association with” I mean “marriage to.”
After all, nothing says ‘I love America” like being a member of a political party whose motto is “I have no use for America or her damned institutions.”

Palin does not even know what VP does.

“Kind of like Palin’s “association” with a member of a group that wants Alaska to secede from the Union. And by “association with” I mean “marriage to.”
Did they set off any bombs on American soil? Haven’t read anything about that.

“Which of Obama’s 57 states did he lead exactly?”
Yeah, but did you see that faux-Greek temple that he read from his teleprompter in front of? Fabulous!

Obama hasn’t run anything, not even a corner store. Unless you count the corrupt political machine in Chicago.

Jim in OH, you got brass ones talking voter fraud in Diebold’s home state. in fact, didn’t you say you were in IT …? I hold it as a rule of thumb that when Republicans accuse Democrats of something, it’s because they’re doing it themselves.
But really, you speak as if you know Ms. Palin personally. You can vouch for her character, her beliefs. Do you know her? Or have you only really known about her for a week and a half, like most of us? My bet is that all you know about her is what you have heard from the party line and what you choose to believe because of your simplistic economic assessments of a likely Obama presidency. To suggest that we know Palin better than we do Obama is ludicrous.
To the experience issue, yes, running a campaign in the full heat of a battle with entrenched party forces does constitute real executive experience. As a Clinton supporter, I developed a grudging then open respect for the way the Obama campaign outmaneuvered, out-planned and out managed the campaign of my client. Managing a government of 600,000 plus people isn’t bad, it’s about like running a city the size of Seattle.

“They hate America waaayyy to much to put forth that kind of effort. ”
Did they preach from the pulpit damming America? Haven’t read anything about that.

“Getting millions in earmarks for her little Podunk town”
Palin must of been a great mayor. She got money for the town from those wasteful spenders in Congress ,Obama and Biden. Yes, Biden and Obama VOTED for millions in wasteful earmarks including those to Wright’s church.

“Kind of like Palin’s “association” with a member of a group that wants Alaska to secede from the Union. And by “association with” I mean “marriage to.”
Well!! with all the snake pit you’re surrounded with, its not surprising to get some ideas. Its irrelevent because her son is in the US army. Action speaks louder than words

Why of Obama’s 57 states did he govern? A let’s not forget Moqtada al Sadr likes to call himself a community organizer.

“Obama hasn’t run anything, not even a corner store.”
That’s not fair. He knows how to run a teleprompter.

One thing the Obama and McCain supporters have in common – BOTH are nuts!
One thing Obama and Palin have in common – NEITHER is qualified to be President!
And the “President of the Harvard Law Review” used by the Obama nuts to demonstrate “experience” is just flat out ridiculous. You know you’re reallllyyyy reaching when you have to mention that!
Hillary 2012!

“Obama hasn’t run anything, not even a corner store.” — That’s not fair. He knows how to run a teleprompter.
That puts Obama head and shoulders above McCain.

How can you attack McCain. We are in a war and he is vet (so was John Kerry but thats different) you are helping the badguys. His running mate has saved this country from so many Polar Bear attacks that I can’t count. You have no idea. He’s a POW dammit, and she ran an entire arctic wasteland for an entire year, why are we even having an election? This is nuts, if you support Obama it proves you have no ablity to think clearly, and you should have no right to vote anyway.

Has anybody ever asked Barack Obama can he bring up his two kids and be president of the United States? They’re asking can she be vice president and be a mother. Where are the feminists?

Vetting, not adequate enough. ROTFL, now.
Give it up on the vetting. Do you think they are going to give up their vetting process to the leftists’ bloggers. She had a 70 page (70) questionnaire to do with a 4 hours private one on one interview. They ran a FBI background check for any charges etc- any thing in her life, her associates in her life her TAXES-what in the world more do you ask of the vetting process! Many of the ultra left are running on fear, confusion, lies and now to vile.

Steve,
Palin deployed the state’s national guard to fight wildfires in 2007. Which of the 57 states did Obama deploy the national guard to fight wildfires?

-
“”Obama hasn’t run anything, not even a corner store.”"
“That’s not fair. He knows how to run a teleprompter.”
NO, he only knows how to READ a teleprompter.
I wonder if he’ll have one at the debates, with his 300 advisers at it’s keyboard?

“”Obama hasn’t run anything, not even a corner store.”"
“That’s not fair. He knows how to run a teleprompter.”
NO, he only knows how to READ a teleprompter.
========================================
That still puts him head and shoulders above McCain.

That would be a two merit point deduction for failing to contact the Tree Hugging Society of America prior to distributing wood byproducts.

It’s a trap!
Good lord, could the Obama people be so stupid as to fall for this obvious trap.
They are now conceding the argument that their man Obama is no more qualified than McCain’s vice presidential pick!
Good job on highlighting your candidate’s biggest defects, Obamatrons.

Good reason from Republicons:
Palin has double foreign experience comparing to Bush because Alaska is next Canada and Russia and Texas is next only to Mexico.
If Bush can be a president than Palin must be a much better veep.

Palin doesn’t hang out in the Senate sending out aids to get her pizza,,,,,while Obama and Biden vote down every energy bill put in front of them.
Palin has gotten a 40 billion pipeline project going, while Biden and Obama suck up to the environmental lobby, and kill all energy legislation.
Biden sits around with Obama and votes all day. Then he goes on Television every weekend to here himself speak while he primps and preens himself in front of the camera’s.
What do these guys do anyways? Push a button on a voting screen and blather about how they stopped the gasoline getting to the pump, for their environmental lobbyist friends.
The only experience they have is talking all day long. Other than that….they have been in the way of energy development in the United States.

Sarah Palin’s pick has many republicans scratching their heads to what was McCain thinking passing on 2 very qualified candidates Romney and Ridge. Atleast they have been vetted enough to jump right into the debates and issues rather then actually introducing an unknown candidate which going horrible. This is just the beginning worst is yet to come when more news comes out of her being part of separatis movement to secede Alaska from US.

Steve,
Palin deployed the state’s national guard to fight wildfires in 2007. Which of the 57 states did Obama deploy the national guard to fight wildfires?
==========================================
I’m just concerned that she might deploy the military to handle the conflict on the Iraq-Pakistan border without thinking it through first. But if she did, it would only be to help out the German Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin. After all, according to McCain, the country of Iran doesn’t seem to be there anymore, and apparently Putin took over Germany when no one was looking. But he is the “foreign policy expert,” so I could be wrong.

The McCain ad contrasting Palin with Obama is standard politics with an interesting twist – the ad makes Obama’s skin color much darker than it appears in all media coverage, where its hue is what would be expected for someone with his racial background.
The explicit message is “Vote for Palin and McCain because of their qualifications.”
The subliminal message is, “He’s black. You don’t want one of them in the White House, do you?”

Regardless of what one may think about Palin’s experience or family issues. You have to admit one thing: She’s been nothing but trouble since she got on the republican ticket.

Steve,
A woman got you nervous? If not this one should!
You can pretend Obama’s got something under his belt but he’s still nothing more than an empty suit.

Liberals are finding themselves critical of Sarah…. a woman’s choice to raise children and earn a living, calling it bad parenting. Maybe it is because the Dem’s have no one like Sarah. If Sarah was a dem none of this would be an issue. Where are the Feminist? I am just trying to understand. You can not have it both ways. I have no clue how to vote? Where are the Feminist?

Ferraro made a path to the glass ceiling, Clinton followed the path and made a BIG crack in it, and now Palin will knock that crack into a big hole.
GO PALIN, GO !!!!

57 States?
Obama misspoke — ONCE.
You really are stretching if you think that means anything. As McCain’s supporters themselves point out, we should not be electing our next President just because he is an eloquent speaker. Obama misspoke, give it a rest.
Did McCain misspeak when he had to be corrected by Joe Lieberman, of all people, for claiming that Al Qaeda, a Sunni radical Islamist movement, was being trained by Iran (a Shi’te theocracy?)
Did McCain misspeak when he made the same mistake multiple times, repeatedly confusing Shi’ia and Sunni and the roles they are playing to fan the conflict in Iraq?
Did McCain misspeak when he said he couldn’t remember how many houses he owns?
Did McCain misspeak when he joked “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father!” Ha Ha – what a noble hero, keeping families out of the political process, ineed – that is if it serves YOUR POLITICAL INTERESTS.
Did McCain misspeak when he plagiarized a story Alexander Solzhenitsyn first tells in “One Day of the Life of Ivan Denisovich”, the story of a camp guard who makes a cross in the sand to show christian Solidarity.
Did McCain misspeak when he asked Rick Warren at the recent Saddleback debates “Can we get back to the question about the Supreme Court nominees?” A question Warren had asked Obama, but had not yet asked McCain. In other words, there was no question “to get back to”, McCain could not even know there would BE a question about Supreme Court nominees…unless he had cheated and watched Warren’s questioning of Obama on Television from the limousine he was seated in. In other words, unless he had CHEATED. What happened to your honor, John McCain?
Did McCain misspeak when he said he would stay in Iraq for 100 years?
I could go on, and on, and on…
McCain is not the man Republican operatives want you to think his is.
Go U.S.A.!!
COUNTRY First!
Send Palin back to her secessionist compatriots in Juno.

Hey Fred, you’re right. Obama is black and that’s the only reason I’m not voting for him.
Here in America we can vote however we want for whatever reason we want.

“Sarah Palin’s pick has many republicans scratching their heads to what was McCain thinking passing on 2 very qualified candidates Romney and Ridge.”
No it has Obama and Axelrod with a warehouse full of useless operative research and planned attacks on Romney, Pawtucky, Lieberman, Ridge, and Gulliani,

Admiral Akhbar:
“It’s a trap!
Good lord, could the Obama people be so stupid as to fall for this obvious trap.
They are now conceding the argument that their man Obama is no more qualified than McCain’s vice presidential pick!
========================================
You do have a point!
Country First!
Keep Alaska in the Union, send Gov. Palin back to Juno and her secessionist friends.

He outright lied about being friends with Rezko. On national television no less.
==========================================
Meanwhile McCain confused Sunni and Shi’a three times after being corrected twice. So I guess McCain lied about his foreign policy experience. On national television no less.

Palin is a great pick to provide us some much needed amusement for this campaign. Having a “quick to anger” old coot near the button used to worry me. Now I know he’s completely out to lunch and probably just does what those around him tell him to do. “Eat your soup.” “Don’t forget to put on your flag lapel pin.” “Forget about Lieberman.” So I think we’ll be OK on that front. But let’s get off the whole business about Palin’s absurd and/or hypocritical record of deficits, seeking earmarks, her role in trying to fire the ex-brother-in-law, and a pregnant daughter product of Palin’s “just say no” attitude to sex ed. There’s just no point…it’s obviously bad news. Even the GOP can’t defend that record and have resorted to the “bad, bad media” response. Seriously, the only real issue of substance here has barely been touched on: this is our first, bonafide, VPILF. A perfect candidate in a time where Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan generate more attention than the down-the-rathole trillion we’ve dumped into Iraq….er…the companies the GOP administration hired to get rich on this landmark mistake in American history. I’m just waiting for those inevitable paparazzi shots, if you know what I mean.

The McCain/Palin camp have the Obama people running like rabbits after the foxes are let loose. Palin has been running the largest state in the country and Obama has been running the largest mouth from south Chicago. Her credentials are much better than his, one bill naming a post office to his credit while sitting in the US Senate. He should be ashamed. Obama’s smear campaign against Palin is nasty and ugly.
People from small towns and rural areas and working moms should be angry at these malicious attacks.

Republican ads tout Palin as having challenged big oil. Everyone here is touting her being responsible for creating a $40 billion pipeline PROJECT. Now, in all honesty, have you seen any REAL ESTIMATES OF OIL OUTPUT by a non-biased organization of the daily output of these pipes. Take into account that the city of Chicago receives one million barrels a day from the Gulf of Mexico and that the five largest big oil companies have had five successive quarters of reductions in their daily output of oil and had a drop of 614,000 barrels per day in the last quarter alone. The republicans have been selling this idea that more oil is the only solution we need for our oil problems and they are getting away with it because they are preaching to people who are gullible and don’t want to get the whole picture.
As I said, “espouse obfuscation, eschew elucidation”, onward and upward with the politics of Spiro T. Agnew. God save us all.

You Libs have already fallen into the trap. You throw your best candidate Hillary under the bus for an empty suit Presidential Nominee but then scream about the Republicans, which isn’t your party anyway, picking a qualified, pro-life woman and Governor for a VP candidate.
Now it’s a race for the first black President or first woman VP.
What worries you libs is that if just 4% of Hillary supporters go to McCain/Palin then Obama/Biden is toast.

geevill, you’re so deep in thought.

RE:57 States?
Obama misspoke — ONCE.”
It’s so sad and scary that uninformed people are VOTING for our country’s future. There is certainly a brainwashing in our schools and media. Some of Obama’s supporters are good people who have put their faith in a weak person. Some believe all of the lies that they see and read. Some care only about their liberal views and pushing them on all of us. They want to change more traditions. They say respect them, but they don’t respect those they disagree with.

Mary says: Palin has been running the largest state in the country.
LOL Not in population. Where does Alaska rank in population 47 or 50th. Per square mile they have appox. 1 person. WOW!

Just heard on NPR -
Palin slashed funding for unwed mothers when Governor of Alaska.
I’m sorry, but the fact that her unwed teen-age daughter is pregnant is no longer a private matter.
When her decisions as Governor so directly impinge on this latest revelation, the American Public at least deserves to know what she now thinks of that earlier decision.
Has Gov. Palin changed her mind about slashing funds. Does she still think it was the right decision? What is the policy thinking that motivated her slashing of funds?
The public wants to know!

McCain had criticized earmarks from Palin:
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-earmarks3-2008sep03,0,2482434.story?track=rss
So much for the “maverick reformer” from Alaska.
Sarah Palin: the gift that keeps on giving…….to the Obama campaign.

In her speech to the Wasilla Assembly of God in June, Ms. Palin said it was “God’s will” that the federal government contribute to a $30 billion gas pipeline she wants built in Alaska. I’ve always been amazed at how often God’s will falls in line with the person espousing it.
There is something larger I have never understood here. When God ordered Abraham to kill his son and when God put Job through affliction, disease, loss and suffering, the message from God was the same. It was, “Who do you think you are to be questioning God’s will”?
Well, if God gave that message to us through the bible, how is it that people have the audacity to think they know God’s plan is ahead of time. It seems clear the message was that, if anything, God has a plan and it is your job to accept it, not to claim that you know what it is. That would be hubris, i.e., putting yourself on the level of God.

Matt,
Three names will answer your question, Ayers, Rezko and Wright.
I would say Michell too but we’re leaving families out of it.

Posted by: t.hill | Sep 3, 2008 3:29:33 PM
Nahhh…what you Repubicans don’t get, but Hillary supporters understood months ago is that Obama would have loved to appoint Hillary as VP, who doesn’t like 18 million votes?
Hillary wasn’t the problem, the problem was what to do with former President Bill Clinton. A former President, now just house-husband of the VP. It didn’t compute.
Hillary understands it.
Obama understands it.
The vast majority of the American public gets it after watching the speeches the Clinton’s gave at the DNC.
Its just Republicans and John McCain who “just don’t get it” – like so many other things you don’t get.

Absurdity and hypocrisy is built into the Republican platform I think…

An American Patriot, Palin slashed funds for wasteful nanny-state programs that don’t require taxpayer dollars in the first place? Awesome! That’s exactly the kind of reformer we need. The opposite of the entrenched fools we have in Washington (approval rating: 9%). Palin doesn’t needlessly waste precious tax revenue for unnecessary, ever-growing programs in the name of big government compassion. How refreshing.

T. Hill–there has never been proof of anything illegal done by Obama as it relates to those three names. But if it’s a guilt by association theme you are running, then you better be able to back up abuse of power, cuts in funding for un-wed mothers, gross censorship at a tiny town library, the largets pork barrel % problems in history from a crooked tiny town, blatant lies to get elected as Govenor….and that’s just the VP candidate. And she’s the one who is suppossed to be “human” and “in touch”? The old dude standing next to her by his own admission “doesn’t know too much about economics…” and continues to support this awful current President. It’s safe to say that none of us are super proud when our aquaintances screw up or make stupid statements. The difference here is that Obama has only been associated with a couple of these tools. Govenor Palin has had a direct hand in the corruption personally. Finally they can’t take the high road! You have stepped up and supported a woman of questionable character….which is fine.

Palin slashed spending for unwed mothers? Good for her. Does that mean hypocrisy? No…analyze it further. She and her daughter and the father of her grandchild are taking responsibility for an early pregnancy. She is not thrusting that burden on society. She is not playing the blame-game. She is espousing family values – something which this country of late is poorly lacking. Our children are part of the “sense of entitlement” generation. They feel entitled to everything – happiness, prosperity and support when they screw up. Get over it! This is what I am talking about…there is no longer a sense of personal responsibility in this country. Other countries laugh at us, and with good reason. We support everyone for every cause. She is not a hypocrite…she is a realist. Sometimes responsibility is thrust upon us at earlier ages than we expected – oh well! Why can’t we teach our kids to swallow it and step up to the plate, rather than teaching them that they can rely on society when the make mistakes, of which they KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES???

christine says:
Palin slashed spending for unwed mothers? Good for her.
How sad. I’m glad neither one of you are my mother.

christine, you articulated it well. If Washington were run by fiscal conservatives like Palin, we would have a lean, mean government focused on providing the absolute essentials as envisioned by our founding fathers, allowing us to keep a lot more of our money so that we can allocate it to private organizations that are in line with our belief systems and our community’s needs. What we have instead is a bloated, wasteful, redistributionist government that is moving us rapidly into a nanny state existence, which will bankrupt all of us. Obama along with fools like Pelosi and Reid will ensure we get there rapidly. Thanks, but keep the “change.”

Gotta love politics! This is all stage craft and BS. Who care about the republicans anymore but a 28% of the US who think George Washington was a bible thumping Christian and fought for independence to start a religious state to further the word of God. McCain buckled and knee jerked. Nothing changes that. tick, tick, tick stop… one heart beat is all it takes.

annie – its too bad you were not privileged enough to apparently have a mother like myself or Sarah Palin. Dems, who have long aligned themselves with liberal feminists – have downplayed stay-at-home moms who insist on instilling family values. Now, they are pointing the finger at Palin, qualifying her as “selfish” and a bad mother because she has a high-powered career. Can you guys stay on one side of the fence, please?? Raising children with strong values, and forcing responsibility on your children is not a bad thing…but again, you are indicative of the whiny-child attitude of most liberals. If it is not handed to you on a silver platter, you get mad and sulk. This country was built on people like my grandfather, who came here from Italy with 17 cents and made his way from Baltimore to Buffalo, on the kindness of an Irish cop, who took time to communicate with him. He did not raise his 7 children on public assistance, and teach them to milk the system. He raised them with values of hard work, and taught them that it is a PRIVILEGE to be an American. Unfortunately, most people here have no idea what that means…so darn sad.

Liberals are finding themselves critical of Sarah…. a woman’s choice to raise children and earn a living, calling it bad parenting. Maybe it is because the Dem’s have no one like Sarah. Has anybody ever asked Obama can he bring up his two kids and be president of the United States? If Sarah was a Dem none of this would be an issue. Where are the Feminist? You can not have it both ways. Where are the Feminist? Stop the sexism

Julie, which party do you think is more likely to pass a bill guaranteeing the equal pay for the same work?
Given our experience with the Bush administration, which party is more likely to enforce this bill with big business?
Annie, would you be against this government interference?

John McCain has fallen off his rocker. He didn’t lose his bearings, he drenched them in gasoline and lit a match. For a 72 year old man with cancer to pick a neophyte like Palin to be his VP is a sign he has lost his mental clarity. Behind closed doors the Bush family has to be going nuts. There are 6 or 7 others who are far more qualified. There is NO WAY Palin could have been fully vetted, … but if she was then this is even more evidence of McCain’s incompetence. Palin might be the scariest person to come out of a GOP convention since Spiro Agnew.

Dawn, I think the more relevant question is why isn’t Obama at the bottom of the Dem ticket? The current ticket is upside-down. I don’t even think it would be possible for Obama to pick a VP that has less experience than he does. It’s very bizarre, given that he would be the lead decision-maker on Day 1. The McCain/Palin ticket makes a lot more sense. Palin will learn from a master and come up to speed quickly. In Obama’s case, he would defer critical decisions to his VP. That’s not the way that office works.

Hey……I get it, I get it…..just like Hillary and Biden said….Obama is not ready…..he has a speech he gave in 2004! Thank Hill, I love ya. Biden too thinks he cleans up nice and is articulate and clean for an African American…..THANKS DEMS FOR REMINDING US.
BRING ON McCAIN/GOV. PALIN!!!!

Any more anxiety in the Obama campaign, and among his supporters here on these very comments and I believe there’ll be a run on the national supply of sedatives. Calm down liberals! Don’t lash out at Governor Palin or you’ll loose your little 4 point bounce. Move slowly, stay calm and don’t get your heart rate up. When John McCain transitions into the White House, all will be well. The Global War on Terror will be a lasting victory, there will be international diligence at home and abroad, energy production will be up and costs down, there will be real goods and services backing a real free market economy, and you’ll only be forced to enjoy a tax break that you wouldn’t get in an Obama regime. So, don’t forget to vote.
–McCAIN-PALIN ’08–

——————————–
I want everyone here to answer this question?
Did you ever have pre-marital sex?
Come on now, answer the question?
——————————-

So Senator are you from Texas?
Funny because you seem to be trying to imitate a southern or Texan accent, none of which you previously have been known to have. Hmmm…

Hi Folks! Sarah, here. Sorry I haven’t had a chance to talk to you since the big announcement, but Johnny is keeping me on a pretty tight leash.
I thought I could at least share a song me and my family have takin to singing on the long bus rides around the lower 48.
The U.S. sure looks cool. At least the view from my bus window as it rushes by. :-) Whatever happens, at my least my family is finally gettin to see a little of this great country! Gotta love that! Free family vacatin, right:-)
So, here’s the song. Try to sing along. I think you’ll recognize it.
Come & listen to a story about a Gov. named Sarah
A poor “hockey mom”, who can hunt for her food
When one day she was shootin at a bear-a
And up through the ground came some bubblin crude.
Oil that is, black gold, ‘Alaska’ tea.
Well the first thing you know…She’s a billionaire
Wasilla folk said “Palin move away from there”
Said “Wash-in-ton” is the place you oughta be”
So she loaded up her family, and ran for VP.
Vice-President that is…
“inside the belt-way”
what oil lobbyists call home…
Well now its time to say good by to the Gov. and all her kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You’re all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality
Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.
Y’all come back now, y’hear?.

Also funny how none of your assertions are true. She has governing experience, not oil experience. But we all KNOW cars are bad. I mean who drives those things anymore?
I suspect the fake “Senator” above, drives a car as well…Hmmm…
========================================
More cars! BIGGER CARS! More Oil! BIGGER OIL!
Thanks Jay.
I couldn’t have described my energy policy more succinctly myself.
You’re right, I do drive a car, I drive several…though I can’t remember right now how many I own. I’ll have my staff get back to you on that one.
Y’all come back now, y’hear?.

Comparing management of a campaign and actually running a state are not even on the same playing field.
========================================
Right ON! S.Adams. Especially when that state is swimming in unprecedented oil revenues like Alaska, and the governor has to make NO tough decisions at all.
That’s why I picked Gov. Sarah Palin – she knows how to live on easy street, where I live, and where every American wants to live.

bjcowart==Bless your daughter and son-in-law and their service to our great country. My husband is also in the military and we believe as you do. Well said.

“Throw all the Democrats out, they don’t really love this country anyway.”

McCain/Palin all you can do is attack because you have no solution to the real issue. You think by attacking Obama we as voter will forget thet you bring no answer to the table that your party created. You are both fools. You think your experience as a mayor of a small town and two year in one the least population states quailfy you as a leader. Obama has seven years in state goverment, experience in national goverment and taught law and Havard grad and yes education to matter or anyone would be able to get in. You claim you have such experience, well you have experience as a mother and see how well that turn out. I thought at least you would stick to the issue, but it the same old attack machine. You make me sick as a women and a mother.

Sarah has EXECTUTIVE experience *running a government* (something NONE of the other candidates can actually boast, even John McCain as Governor of Alaska and got there by defeating the *incumbent* Republican Governor, who was definitely part of the “old school” and who WAS very much in the pocket of the big oil companies. We in Alaska wanted change – and we got it in the person of Sarah Palin!
Sarah Palin is everything she looks to be and more. Her approval rating as Governor of Alaska has been as high as 95% and is currently leveled out consistently in the upper 80 percentile throughout the state (and in both parties) – the HIGHEST approval rating of ANY sitting Governor.

Bush & Republicans controlled White House and Congress (the executive branch & the legislative branch of gov’t) for 6 of the last 8 years.
I don’t recall George “Good Job Brownie” Bush taking responsibility for any of his mistakes.
It is the Republicans, who controlled Congress, who have run up this country’s record deficits.
It is President Bush, who took this country into an unnecessary war. Whatever its merits, the war in a Iraq has done nothing to reduce the threat of terrorism. Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism until AFTER Bush invaded.
I don’t recall Bush or the Republicans taking responsiblity for any of their mismanagment, for their ethical lapses, abuse of power, outing of CIA agent, firing of federal attorneys for partisan reasons, and then lieing about it.
The Republican party under Bush has become the party of unaccountable liars and cheats.
I’d vote for McCain if he were an independent, but he’s not, he’s the pet of this current, corrupt Republican administration and Republican party.
God Save Us ALL, and God Bless Our Troops, both Republican and Democratic soldiers alike, from another 100 years in Iraq.

Posted by: Greg | Sep 3, 2008 9:42:06 PM
Greg:
Let me second you.
Judgment, not experience is the most important.
George Bush had a great deal of “executive experience”, before becoming President – as Governor of Texas and a Business executive.
He and the Republicans in congress ran up record deficits during the 6 years they had TOTAL control of government.
He completely mismanaged the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
He completely mismanaged the occupation of Iraq, handing out contracts to his cronies who were completely unqualified to carry out their
All McCain’s “Experience” means is that he has been around for a long time.
He likes to make much of his getting “the surge” right. Sure, things in Iraq have improved after the surge, and the surge certainly had something to do with it, many other factors are probably more important.
But that misses the bigger point. We should Never have gone into Iraq in the first place, and McCain was one of Bush’s earliest, and most vociferous supporters. McCain took us into the War.
Claiming credit for the success of the surge, is like someone first shooting you in the head, but then putting a bandage over the wound. Sure, he’s stopped the hemmoraging, but why did he shoot you in the first place?

Well there were a number of lies but one of the worst was when talking about fighting washington insider politics and esp. the bridge to nowhere well McCains campaign is staffed by some 75 % lobbist esp. those at the top of his campaign. Oh and the money for the bridge to nowhere Alaska got it they just didn’t build the bridge they built all the roads going up to where it will begin and as gov. she did a speech to help get this money and said Washington thinks your nowhere well I don’t and she hired lobby firms to lobby for the money. But she’s an outsider YEAH RIGHT and Rush Limbaugh is a Liberal !!! and it was a Canadian firm she gave the contract to, to build this gas pipeline but their slogan is country first then find an american co. to do the pipeline and saying we need to use american resources the drill here drill now mindset well we used our best resource our brave men and women to fight in Iraq and the Bush admin lets China walk in and get contracts that American firms should have got to develope oil fields in IRAQ fields that will produce and low estimate of 125,000 barrels of oil a week within 3 yrs maybe sooner but BUSH/ McCain and the rest let CHINA our biggest worry for our country out there come in after OUR men and women clear the way with their blood and lives and TAKE a contract to get the oil out of IRAQ right under our noses and our men and women will probally be the ones protecting China’s people in the fields and their equipment and the oil being shipped out and their tankers in the straights with our navy !!! yeah that’s the Kind of leadership we need one last thing She also said that it is their responsibilty to leave the country better then it was when they took office !! REALLY ewll then are your better off NOW then when Bush, who McCain voted with 90% of the time are you better of NOW then when W took over and was rubber stamped by McCain and the rest of the GOP for 7 yrs ?

PALIN HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN BUSH…
Cindy gave A very good reason about Palin’s foreign experiences: Palin has twice foreign experience comparing to Bush because Alaska is next to Canada and Russia and Texas is next only to Mexico. If Bush can be a president than Palin must be a much better veep!!!

McCain/Palin ’08. Her speech said it all – no disputing she nailed it, whether or not you agree with her politics. She is fearless, compassionate to the American people and patriotic. She loves her family and her country, and does not shy away from challenges regarding either.
And…to whomever it was above who said she was ashamed of her as a mother and she is obviously a failure as a parent??? Guess you are referring to her daughter’s pregnancy as being a failure – hmmm – do you have kids? OBVIOUSLY NOT – because you know that no matter what you do, no parent is perfect, we all make mistakes, and sometimes doing your best does not product the most optimal results. Don’t fault her for that – at least she stands by her kids – and one of them is fighting for your freedom!!!

McCain/Palin, 2008!

let’s vote them all out and start fresh

She is ready to take over as leader of the most powerful nation on earth but doesn’ know enough about world affairs to handle a interview. Palin supporters must think this is Star Search.
