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

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

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.

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??

Hey GDub's made a lot of mistakes. I'm not going to make him out to be some great president. We should just be taking the oil out of Iraq IMO but who knows what will happen with that.

Palin was on key last night about energy though, we NEED to be drilling here and become self sufficient with energy.

Its not like Republicans are against finding alternative energy sources like the Dems make us out to be. Thats just wacky talk there! We just need to be drilling in the mean time cause we shouldnt be giving the Middle East and Russia our $$.

GDub's made a lot of mistakes when it comes to Oil IMO but I wouldnt for a second think McCain/Palin are like Bush in this matter.

By the way, what is the population of Alaska? I honestly dont know.

We didn't think you would lie about being stupid.

Is it ok if I redboard in the politics forum?

I just hit a 1700+ pick 4 at mammouth.

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.
