Obama Camp and Democrats: Palin Choice is Political Panic »
Posted By capj71 10 months, 1 week ago in News
The Obama campaign wasted little time pouncing on John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin as inexperienced, in bed with Big Oil, and committed to overturning Roe v. Wade. Democrats called the choice political panic.

Sarah Palin's family is from Sand Point, Idaho. That is where the Aryan Nation calls home, also where the (alleged racist) L.A. detective Mark Furman went to retire

-Ahhh...My friend Will again...What a surprise. How delicious that you'd be the first to comment on this thread. So when we last communicated yesterday, you were slamming me sideways from Sunday (lovely vocabulary you have, btw) for criticizing Cindy McCain's looks:

-And here you are a day later pitching a little tent in public over someone who is actually *running* for office. Still waiting to find out why it's appropriate to discuss someone's looks when she's a "hottie" but not if one doesn't think so. We're all ears, Will. I'm sure you can respond in a mature and civil manner (like you did yesterday). ;-)

yeah, all this may be true -- she might be inexperienced, but at least she has been a governor. Please elaborate on Obama's leadership and managerial experience. Please elaborate on Obama's foreign service experience. Please elaborate on any of Obama's relevant experience.

What Obama really has is a golden tongue. So yes, he gives awesome speeches, but like Palin, he also has little or no experience. Unlike Palin, he won't be a heartbeat away from the Presidency with so little experience, he will BE the President with so little experience.
McCain or Obama -- we are truly screwed for this election.-

First, she`s got zero national or international experience. Zero. Obama has been in the trenches of the Senate and Illinois legislature for years. That means he knows how to compromise and work with others from both sides of the aisle.
Reply
Palin`s incredibly limited experience is scary. It was reckless and a complete panic of McCain to pick her. She has never has to work with others from the other side of the aisle to write laws. She has never had to struggle to balance a budget (come on, we`re talking Alaska where oil $ flows almost as fast as the corruption). She has never dealt with any govt for that matter outside of Alaska.
She is the most inexperienced candidate for the WH that I have ever heard of.
Besides, where Obama has the orators golden tongue and ability to rouse a nation and bring pride back to our country, kind of like Reagan, McCain has a forked tongue. He has flipped on his own laws, twice!! His own law! Not just some law that he voted for, but laws that he wrote! What kind of judgment is that?! We need someone with the character and integrity to stick by his decisions no matter the audience he is speaking to and no matter the political ambition of the speaker. -

McSame has no room to criticize Obama for lack of experience anymore. Pallin has less than 2 years as governor and has been involved in scandals since she took over. She has no foreign relations experience. If by some strange miracle McSame should win, this country had better hope he doesn't die in office as Pallin is in no position to run the country.
Reply
McSame is hoping to pull the unhappy Hillary supporters. Any and all of them who support a woman's choice and Roe v Wade had better think twice before voting for McSame. They would be better off following Hillary's wishes and, in their minds, taking a chance on Obama. At least they can be sure he will support their right to choose. And I think Hillary will make this fact VERY clear.
McSame has proved to me that he has poor judgment and no common sense. He is going to be ripped to shreds for this decision.-

And think about the fact that she has more experience that Obama. Your logic is stupid. It shoots down the top of your own ticket. Lay it on harder. Keep it up. Every time you libs talk about Palin and her lack of experience think about the reflection back onto Obama.

If he would have picked Ridge, you would then say, he should have picked Palin. Besides, don't you think that the party backing him has some say in the pick too? I doubt if he made the decision totally on his own.

I agree with Dottie. This risky choice for VP once again shows McCain has poor judgement. The fact is McShame cannot separate himself from his twin, George W. Bush nor can he deny that he voted for Bush policies 90% of the time. How appropriate they will be in the Twin Cities together if Gustav doesn't have other plans. It is very scary to think this woman could be commander-in-chief and she is virtually unknown. As Dottie said, we better hope McCain isn't incapictated or dies if he is elected.

What Obama has that repugni-cans continuously discount is his exceptional ability to unify people. Obama's experience as a community organizer is the "BEST" experience to have when dealing with the issues that the "people"(not special interest and lobbyists) need addressed. He understands the kitchen table issues that effect the American people. If you try to say that Obama doesn't have any executive experience, where's Mccains' executive experience. When did Mccain run a corporation or government agency? Where does his executive experience come from? Surely you don't think his POW status qualifies as executive experience, do you? He wasn't an admiral in the Navy, he was a commander. That hardly qualifies as executive experience in the lowest of standards. So I ask you again, where is Mccains' executive experience?

McCain and Obama are CEOs of their respective campaign organizations.

Which one was better organized?
Which one made better use of the Internet?
Which one undertook and was highly successful with a grassroots movement?
Which one launched a virtually unknown senator to becoming his party's candidate for president?
Which one made better use of its finances?
Which one shows the better executive organization?
Yeah. Let's talk about executive experience. -

You mean like the Hillary supporters who at this point 47% are going to vote for Obama? And half of the rest will not vote while the remainder say they are going to vote for McCain. Such unity.

You'd think if they were going to pick a complete unknown with zero experience relative to the Presidency (because that's what it's really about) or for that matter the VP that they'd have more than a handful of Repugnant Cons to pick from that didn't have scandal and Big Oil attached to them like lampreys.

I hope Palin is not richer than Cindy. If she is filthy rich, and Cindy gets sick and goes to the hospital, she'll wind up without a husband.

Palin supports teaching creationism along side evolution in schools. With current limited school budgets, the money wasted teaching this creationism crap, buying accompanying text books and general time wasted could go into hiring more and better Mathematics, Science and Geography Teachers. Subjects that the future generations of U.S. citizens will actually need to compete in a global economy. If the children want to learn about Intellegent Design, let them study this poop on their own time. The hardworking taxpayer should not have to foot the bill for silliness.

Evolution is bad science has more negative to it if you really care to study the facts. Missing links in Archeology digs. Every time a mutation or natural tadpole to frog type of transformation occurs chromosome count goes up. Apes have nearly 20 times the chromosome count of man so Apes must have evolved from us the list goes on and on. There is this one doctor who had this to say- Evolution has been pretty much dis-proven that leaves creationism and I refuse to believe that! smart guy but I still feel sorry for him

Your argument that we should not explore creationism reminds me about what was said about Latin, being a dead language, was a waste of money and should not be taught. The same thing was said about Geometry, who needs to study angles and such? Unfortunately the hard working taxpayer pays for a lot for things that will not enable a youngster to compete in a global economy. Sex education, drivers education, shop, home economics, need I go on? Yet these things are taught to give a broad general grasp outside of the three R's. Courses are taught to get students to think and reason.

I laugh at comments about right or left leaning entertainers. They are cut from the same mold and use exactly the same tactics and delivery system. It isn't the right media or left media, it's the media. -

I live in Illinois and I along with MANY MANY other are not at all proud of living in the highest taxed state in the union. Unforetunately it is too expensive to move. Obama represents Illinois ( from the times) who would want a president that has no experience in anything but TAX AND SPEND In Cook (crook county known to most here) the sales tax is 11% in Chicago 11%!!!!!! they say it is to help those in need! Now they are crying because there is such a deficite and they will need to raise taxes again to make up for the mistake they made raising taxes. Sound familiar? The south side of Chicago has the highest crime rate. You cannot go outside your house after dark unless you have a death wish. Where is Michelle and Obama? Why are they not helping the people they represent?

And now all you Hillary supporters that were insulted by Obama during the primary with his insults towards people clinging to guns and bibles like something is wrong with that, people that are insulted at how Obama played the race card against Hillary and Bill Clinton, insulted at how you were made to feel like racists if you didn't vote for Obama can vote for Republican change that is not Socialism.
