I said yes.

First off, any gubernatorial experience requires more leadership than congressional experience. Doing "well" in Congress means that you know how to play well with others.

I also would like to see the role of president reduced to the role it was constitutionally intended. If the Founding Fathers wanted a monarch, I think they would have included that in the Articles or Constitution... The president should be, more or less, an administrator and, as such, doesn't need much more qualification than any other civil service job. Vice president should be little different, but perhaps requires a little more leadership as s/he is also the leader of the Senate.
Well than, vote for Obama since he is well versed in the Constitution one might say. I mean he did study Constitutional Law at Havard did he not? He also finished with honors and top in his class unlike McCain who finished towards the bottom. The Acadamy, notexactly anIvy League School. Yep, I will takeanelitist anyday of the week especially after 8 disaterous years under the Bush/Cheny Regime!
Hmpf, good thing that only Obama and McCain are on the ballot... :?

If you would read instead of troll, you'd see that my point was not to defend any presidential or vice presidential candidate, but rather to define the role of the presidency. It doesn't matter how well-versed one is in the Constitution and, judging by the comments about all of the things he wants to do ("change") that he Constitutionally doesn't have the power to do, Obama follows the Constitution no more than McCain. See, I was speaking purely in the hypothetical, since the average American dumbass (probably a good 95% or more of the population) would never vote for a president or vice president who says, "This is what I'm not going to do for you..."

Now, as long as you can find some part of the Constitution to publicly trample in order to please the ignorant electorate, you're qualified to run for office in the executive branch.

So, what you are telling me is that McCain doens't have the experience to be President or VP for that matter right?
I said nothing of the sort as you can obviously see. Dont put words in my mouth lib.

And 35 years of being a legislater dos'nt even compare to a administrative job, like a Mayor and Governor. I dont care if Biden has 350 years in congress, Palin's time as Mayor and Governor surpass that by light years.
Uh.....? Your telling me that Palin asa Mayor and Govenor for not quite 2 years has more experience than Biden who has been in the Senate for 35!

Yes I am. Running a state, even for 2 years, requires more ability that sitting in on a legislative session and voting "yes", "no", or "present" and maybe speaking every now and then. Hell, a PTA member does the same thing that Biden does.

If we are only talking gun rights I would agree with you. As for the question "how can she do any worse than the others", I'd just as soon not find out. Also, "well "X" can't do worse" is (IMHO) a terrible way to go about electing someone.
Its sort of academic. There are but two choices in the election. Mediocre and down right awful. i will leave it to you to decide if you would like 4 years fo downright awful or four years of mediocre.

Nope, more than two the last time I checked. In fact, here in Pennsylvania, there will be at least three of which I know, and I'll be shamelessly voting for the guy with the (L) next to his name.

We need run-off voting.

Sorry.... But, voting for an L might as well be for loser in this election. Sorry, but we will have John or Barry as the next president of the US. However, it is your vote.

I will be voting for John and Sarah....and I am looking forward to it!

Yep, McCan't will be on the ballot a long with Obama and I certainly look forward to penciling in the little ole' circle by Obam / Bidens name. I am counting down the days...

Just to further prove this woman is way out of her league. The tiny nuances of Alaska are "microscopic" compared to the other 49 states and the totality of this country and our global interactions.


Of course something you may or may not understand seeing how you are from Wyoming. I think Alaska is more populated than Wyoming?

I could see Palin in a role in city counsel, perhaps in a small town... I think after November 4th you will see her fade away from politics.

Shes a nut case...

You have no business calling anyone a nut case, you read the Huff post? I'll take a bible thumping redneck over a communist manifesto thumping bed wetter any day.

What are you even doing here? You can't possibly support gun rights, let alone OC. Go back to your daily kos and be a smug little nazi. While your at it, throw some money in the pot with Hamas and give it too your moonbat messiah.

She is a nut, don't you read! She believe that dinasaurs and humans roamed the earth at the same time, guess she has never heard of Carbon-14 dating? She believes that the earth is only 4,000 years old, yep she is a nut case!

What am I doing here you ask? Because I am a gun owner, thats why I am here.

Smug little nazi???:shock: Kind of like the Pot calling the Kettle Black as you may or may not know that BushiesGrand Dad Prescot Bush was indeeda Nazi Sympathizer.

Here, chew on this for awhile http://www.236.com/news/2008/09/26/sarah_do_not_listen_to_those_b_9168.php

Even fellow CONservatives are calling her to step down from the race...

And yes, Bush is a fascist just like the Nazi's were.

Ok, so ignore the fact that Ted Kennedy's father had to be brought home from Britain because he was a vocalNazi sympathizer. Never mind that none of Prescot's kids left women to die in the back seat of their cars. The left's entire platform is a pretty good parallel to National Socialism. Just replace hatred for Jews with Christianity. Furthermore, those insipid rumors you moonbats repost (ad nauseum)of Sara Palin's beliefs have been thoroughly debunked, and only idiots like Matt Damon still believe them. Even if they were true, she doesn't hang around with left wing bomb throwers, get money from Hamas, think that there is 58 states, one of which would be New Pennsylvania. She doesn't think of gun owners as bitter, she hasn't supported every gun ban she's ever seen, she doesn't want to tax employers to INDIA (what's left of them anyway). She doesn't think babies who survive abortions should be left to die in dumpsters.She doesn't believe humans are solely responsible for systematically making the earth uninhabitable. I could go on and on about how nObama's (and liberals in general) insanity is starkly worse than her's is even rumored to be.



You're a gun owner? MY A$$!!! Just give them away then. I'll be dipped in $h!t before I sit here and read leftist propaganda as if it's a credible arguement against her abilities to hold what basically amounts as a do nothing job. I'm still more than confident she has far more ability to be CNC thaneither of your 2sniveling flip flopping moonbats.

Maybe you aren't a nazi, you're a commie, but just for the sake of arguement, the communists were far more brutal anyway. The left has far more in common with those ideas than Bush can even be accused of.

I could see Obama sitting in a prison cell, between Blagojevic and Daley.

By the way, what did that poseur EVER do to fight third world levels of violence and corruption against Black people committed by Baby Dick Daley's Tonton Macoutes in blue? When has he EVER publicly asked what Baby Dick knew about systematic police torture of suspects when he was Cook County State's Attorney?

But what are a few Black people with electrodes on their genitals or sitting on a hot radiator compared to Daley's political endorsement?

Some "community activist", huh?
