Clearer now!

Let me see if I follow the logic here, we have elected govenors of small states, including clinton to the whitehouse after they turned their state into welfare soaked hole in which good old boy politics and actual government corruption was the day to day reality, and here we have a conservative woman, who is smart as a wip, comes from down to earth people and has done wonderful things for her state, has bucked her own party to do the right thing DOZENS of times. Has a deep connection to her family, citizens of the state she lives and a great love of the U.S. and is proud of that, has an 80% approval rating by her constituents and you guys would not consider her for VP.
WTF
Is it she has no foreign policy experience?
Well quite frankly bill clinton had zero, thats right zero foreign policy experience when he was elected the the Presidency.
Margaret Thatcher had zero, zero foreign policy experience when she was elected to prime minister of england.
Ronald Reagan had zero, zero.
If you want your daughters to see what a bright intelligent woman can turn out to be, I think you might want to reconsider your position. She goes into that office with more in common with all of us here than any candidate in my memory, she is honest and trustworthy and if you think she cannot grasp that job as well as anyone else going into that position you are either underestimating her or possibly would prefer just to see a liberal type person in that position. Which if that is the case so be it, but reconsideration is in order when you consider she has about as much experience and qualification for her job as obama has for his.
 
Interesting link Svence. I was initially very impressed with Ms. Palin, but each day I become more convinced we would be in very deep trouble with her as VP, let alone President.
 
If Palin becomes VP she stands a 20% ++ chance of becoming the president of the united states during McCain's presidency.

She's a dandy lady but heck so is Mrs. Blue. The difference is Mrs. Blue has enough sense not to run for VP. Mrs. Blue even has foreign policy experience - she has been to Canada. :beer:

Thursday is going to be interesting. Maybe she will surprise us all but its not looking good. JMO
 
As long as she's reading from a telepromter she does fine. On her own you don't know what you're going to get. Thursday should be interesting. They'll probably pass a resolution, McCain will claim it's his idea and Palin will only talk about how great John is.

Vote November 4th! Billy Mac :beer:

Okay, how's this one...
It's Just 143 Days....

143 days




·You couldn't get a job at McDonald's and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
·You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience ofbeing a surgeon.
·You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
·You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after 143 days of experience
·You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly anchor after 143 days of experience.

BUT…

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World...143 days

We all have to start somewhere. The Senate is a good start, but a fter 143 days, that's all it is - a start.

AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is alright with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are fine with this for the President of the United States of America? Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol.

AMAZING ISN'T IT!!
THINK ON THIS!

Broc, whatever he's still the best choice for the average American. Mc Cain with all his experience just does nothing for me. Billy Mac :beer:


Vote November 4th!
 
·You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.

As for Palin, I won't vote for her or McCain or the BHO and Biden show...

I agree that her interviews have been excruciating to watch; I can't even watch the clips anymore when they come on TV.

That said, this is the sort of thing that happens when people get thrown into the political machine. When she first came onto the VP scene she did very well; she presented herself and HER views very well. In fact, I don't think she used a teleprompter during her first public speech; she used her notecards and she barely had to use them. All this to say that I believe what's happened to her is that she's had to take a crash course in learning the party lines and memorizing the party answers. She's not been permitted to be herself and represent herself and HER views and all that stress has come through clear as day in these recent interviews.

She really does just need to be herself and admit the fact that she's not the typical B.S.ing politician and that she doesn't know a number of things. But who does? Most of them don't know what they're talking about, they just fake it better than she has. I think that if she comes across as the "average Joe sixpack" that she claims to be, she will do fine and will earn the respect of us average joes who are tired of all the career politicians up there at our capitol... For her sake, I hope she does well tonight. We'll see in about half an hour.
