In comparison to a brodcasting degree from the University of Idaho?

Alumni of the Harvard Law Review include five supreme court justices, four secreatary of states, as well as the current leader of the department of homeland security.

Prior to Lynn Spears Palin - I believe the most famous alumni to ever come out of the University of Idaho was that cloned mule that won his debut in a mule race at the Stockton fair.

John McCain has no executive experience either. I don't think it will be a problem for either one of those two in the least. Obviously.

I heard nothing at all on policy - and I guess her great governing accomplishment is that she sold an airplane on E-bay (to get attention) and fired her private chef.

She left her city in debt as a mayor, she's already under investigation for abuse of power after only 20 months as a Gov, and her daughter...

Let's see -- knocked up, and posing all over the internet with booze and making out with other chicks... before the age of 18.

But with such a stellar resume in her own home, it's hard to imagine her being anything but a raging success when given a lot more responsibility.

She still is the same creep with the grand idea of paying hunters $150 for each left foreleg they cut off of wolves and bring back.



She still is the same creep with the grand idea of suing the federal government to take polar bears off of the endangered species list.



But hey, this is the same lady who thinks a female ought not have the right to abort even in the case of rape and incest.

Everyone knows that people like Lindsey Graham, Tom Ridge, Joe Liberman, and Joe Biden are John McCain's real vice presidents - they are all going to have a much big factor on policy than Palin.

McCain is a 72-year-old cancer survivor - Lynne Spears Palin as a VP nom is going to be a great asset as far as fund raising and firing up the Christian nutjobs who don't trust him - but we are one old man's death away from having a psycho pander pick for a president.

Nothing like a corrupt earmark queen who calls herself a reformer.



Come on Doug, honestly. Please don't tell me you believe that the majority of the press isn't liberal.

:tro: at least John McCain has led american troops....

I was suprised to hear that Obama hasnt even introduced a Bill into the senate.. even the state senate. WTF has he done? Nothing. Rudy was right, only in America can someone with Obama's record (or lack there of) can be one of the two candidates running for president.

Antitrust32 09-04-2008 10:39 AM

I think its funny that Palin has more executive experience than the other 3 guys in the election.

It is funny. It just goes to show how meaningless these purported presidential qualifications are that the liberal press throws out at the masses. And some people fall for it

The dumbing down of America. Who was it that coined that phrase, I was reminded of it while watching the RNC last night

He was a Captian in the Navy, which is equivalent to the rank of colonel in the uniformed services.

yes, so lets tax tax tax the hard working american citizens and give that money to people who take advantage of the system and dont at all deserve it (now dont get me wrong, there are people out there who deserve some help).

The Dems can solve every world problem with more big government programs and spending :rolleyes:

What do President's really do in office?

1. They appoint Supreme Court Justices that can be confirmed. To me the single most important thing that a President does and that affects our daily lives. Not sure how being a Senator instead of a Guv makes a difference here.

2) They are at the mercy of Congress. If they have the majority, they get legislation passed and their policies enacted. If not, it's all negotiation on bills, which both a Senator and Gov have equal experience doing.

3) They surround themselves with a strong Cabinet and experienced advisors. I'm not sure at this point, either Senator running for President is lacking in those skills.

4) They are the point person for foreign policy decisions. I think Senators have much more foreign policy experience and, in many cases, direct contact through committees. Governors rarely have to deal in this arena.

5) They are the face of America during a crisis. You can make the case that a Governor may have had more experience dealing with crisises at the State Level, but do you really think O'Bama or McCain would lack in this area, especially compared to Carol Brady?

There must be the perception that Governor's can "govern" better than a Senator because they usually win elections, but whether it's Dem or Repub, the last thing I'm concerned with is that point.

Bush would be impeached by now if the press were liberal at all.

And as for Bush/Yale and Obama/Harvard, be serious Pants. Obama's mommy and daddy didn't buy his way in.

Yes Lori, Obama wants to tax more people than McCain. Keep telling yourself that. Because Bush's tax cuts have done so much for the economy and the middle class. It's hilarious how Republicans spit out this 'Democrats will raise taxes' bullshit, without saying WHO they will raise taxes on, and the people who continuously get ****ed by Republican tax 'cuts' eat it up every time.

Yes - and she also called the war in Iraq "a task from God."

Hearing about her supposed executive expierience over and over is only reason #3,245 why the Presidential Election has been reduced to nothing more than a quad-annual showcase of how collectively idiotic the American people really are.

which is why I find it funny that the economy has been really slumping the past year or so and everyone blames it on Bush! Who's been controlling the congress the past two years?? the Dems OMG!! Yet its all GW's fault! You said it yourself, they are at the mercy of the Congress.

But the Dems couldnt have anything to do with the slumping economy right?

No..I don't really think either do...it was the banks and lending that did the most damage, IMO

Of course...didn't GDUB promise his great relations with the oil companies would help us and that Iraq would pay their debts in oil??
