i'd like to respond to what Kirkules said... and amend my previous statement.. by the laws of the land, yes, Palin meets the qualifications to run for offfice - just as many people meet those qualifications. What i believe is this, she's just not the best possible candidate for the job.

I believe that Barrack Obama represents the best chance this country has to right itself and is the person who will put an end to the blunders of the previous administration. It seems to me that McCain and Palin simply want to continue the same bad policies of Bush/Cheney, and I don't know anyone who wants that.

I consider the REAL role of the VP in the last 20 years to be a simple one: Make the President assassination-proof. Color me jaded...

As much as some people hated Bush I, they couldn't stomach the idea of Quayle stepping into the job. Ditto Clinton/Gore (those who hated Clinton the most hated Gore even more, as evidenced by our very own right-wingers here in RWED) and Bush/Cheney. As a candidate now, you HAVE to choose a running mate who's WAAAAAAYYYY worse than you, in every possible way, just to secure your safety.

In that respect, Palin is VERY qualified for the job. Even the hardest-core liberals would be flocking to provide security for McCain, just to be sure that he'd live through his term of office!

It's probably no small part of why Obama chose Biden over Hillary, too - can't have folk running around thinking VP Hillary would be the better choice to run things, can we?

Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, admitting that until recently she was a vocal supporter of Sarah Palin, now says the vice presidential nominee should bow out:

Palin Problem
She’s out of her league.

By Kathleen Parker

Quote:
Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted.

Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood. Cut the verbiage and there’s not much content there. Here’s but one example of many from her interview with Hannity: “Well, there is a danger in allowing some obsessive partisanship to get into the issue that we’re talking about today. And that’s something that John McCain, too, his track record, proving that he can work both sides of the aisle, he can surpass the partisanship that must be surpassed to deal with an issue like this.”

I'm not sure exactly how to categorize your efforts to equate Obama's and Palin's experience...

Have you listened to the both of them talk on serious issues?

You may disagree with Obama on everything he says, as a matter of policy, but it would be hard for you to make a case that he hasn't studied the issues and come to a reasonable understanding of them so that he can actually talk about them without a script.

.....

On the other hand there is nothing to disagree with Palin on...she can't even really make a point. You must know, if you don't know conciously, you know in the dark recesses of your mind that this woman has no idea what she's talking about.

She's only had 3 interviews, and tons of deer in the headlight moments. There isn't one hint of substance in anything she says.

Tell me you don't really see understanding in her answers...

tell me that you don't just see what you need to see, that you aren't really going to lift her up on faith alone, and ignore the facts that she is showing you, not telling you.

Unfortunately, I think you're viewing it from the wrong angle. The hardcore right-wingers, the true NeoCons, don't CARE if she's "qualified" - they view her inexperience as a plus, because if she hasn't done anything, then she also hasn't done anything egregiously WRONG. It's not a matter of what you've done that qualifies you, but more a matter (in their eyes, mind you, not mine) of what you've done or haven't done that would DISQUALIFY you.

So you or your spouse are a secessionist? That's no biggie - it just shows your independence, and how little you trust Big Government®, and how committed you are to the NeoCon ideal of making government "small enough to drown it in your bathtub".

So you don't have any foreign policy experience? Who cares? That just proves that you love your country above all others, and that you're not beholden to any group of "furriners" - especially the French!

THAT is the mindset you have to view Sarah Palin from - the mindset that says being able to see Russia from your house is the same as having a foreign policy background.

Just thought I'd clarify that for you.

Mmmm,

I don't know,

I"m not talking about her experience...

because even people with experiences can learn the wrong lessons,

I'm talking about her inability to tell us her philosophy, or to even ensure us that she has a rudimentary, bookish understanding of the things she has no practical understanding of,

and I do agree that they don't seem to care, but I think for a lot of them the reason is that they have a side, they're going to vote for that side, because they believe in the side's philosophy...

or else, it is how adament they are about voting against democrats that is at the heart of it,

and I think the truth is they are willing, not to look at Palin as an excellent option for the Presidency, but to overlook her glaring faults, and vote her in anyway, inspite of her unreadiness,

in spite of the grave damage that could do to our country.

But if you are correct, I suppose they could come on here and say THAT is their reason for supporting her,

but I have a feeling that as I've heard it put, Palin is, or should be a 'gut' check for these people.

If they are going to consistently defend their intention to vote for the ticket of a 72 year old man with a history of cancer into the White House, with Palin as a possible succesor at any time to the Presidency,

then I'd like to hear them defend her with something more solid than "more experience than Obama."

the question isn't even about experience at this point, its about understanding of the issues, and whether they think she has demonstrated any kind of competence at all in those interviews, let alone Presidential competence.

Righteous, I'm right there with ya, but you have to remember that you're dealing with people who view George W. Bush as a GOOD President, and can see absolutely no areas in which he's been less than perfect. THAT is the kind of person you're trying to convince, and I'm quite sure that it's a lost cause.

And remember, these are the people who absolutely DON'T want their President to be the smartest guy (or gal) in the room, or even to have a layman's grasp of the real issues we face, because then they can fill that empty head with all of their own particular brand on nonsense.

Let me interpret my post for you since you were obviously not able to understand it without help. I have been one of few in these threads that has been intellectually honest about the candidates qualifications. If you think Obama's education and academic experience are better then Palin's, then I would agree with you. But don't tell me that Obama has more foreign policy or executive experience than Palin because that's just bullshit. Palin has more executive experience than all of the three men in the race combined. I tend to think that none of the candidates are as qualified as they should be. The only candidate that was running this time around that I do believe would have been qualified is Mitt Romney, but I did'nt support him because I don't like religious people in politics. OK, you think being a Community Organizer is more valuable experience to the job of President than being Governor of Alaska, that's fine, but that just your opinion. If you prefer the policies of Obama/Bidden over McCain/Palin that's great, just don't mix your ideology up with the facts, McCain/Palin have every bit as much experience as Obama/Bidden, you just give more weight to academic learning and I give more value to practical experience.

Friday, September 26, 2008 11:03 PM

That was not my point. You have possibly intentionally avoided it again.

Palin Managed to get herself elected to Governorship of Alaska---that should have given her some executive experience ----

cool

so what has she said so far in her interviews that convinces you of that? That convinces you that she knows a fucking thing about the office she is about to hold? That she can even fool some of the people some of the time? that she knows a thing about it?

This isn't about ideological differences...

this is about even knowing what your ideology is...about understanding any of these issues enough to talk about them in a way that doesn't sound like you are just trying to fake your way to the end of the interview.

I said many times that my posts were not about the experience equivolencies that you want to make, so please adress the question.

What about Palin's performance in her interviews gives you confidence in her ability to lead this nation?

That's why we make them campaign, and debate, so we can shake em down and find out what they're really made of...

In theory.

It's become prettymuch a circus now, all staged and pre-directed, sure, but they do slip up here and there, and through those tiny little windows you get a glimpse of the real product they want you to endorse.

And being that the POTUS, is as I stated a highly political position, actual political finesse is in my opinion a downright requirement for the job.

And an applicant for that office demonstrating outright incompetence in one of it's most basic requirements is therefore not in any way qualified for it.

If Palin drops a gently lobbed softball so very damn badly, how would she do if McCain capped it and she found herself nose to nose with the hardball negotiators of foreign nations ?

Dumb (Obama) on the other hand, has Biden, who I would give good odds on in that confrontation, and can send him in his stead if he thinks it wise.

Having a competent right hand man (or woman!) is always a good idea in any field.

So is Palin qualified to be VP, and to step in as President should the need arise? Let's ask John McCain, who had this to say about two of his Republican rivals for the nomination about their qualifications:

Quote:
John McCain said:

I need no on-the-job training. I wasn't a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn't a governor for a short period of time.

That's what he said about the Mayor of New York, a city of over 8 million (more than 1000 times more than Wasilla), and the Governor of Massachusetts, a state with a population of 6.4 million (10 times the population of Alaska).

It should also be noted that Giuliani was mayor for longer than Palin was, and Romney was Governor for longer than Palin was.

So according to John McCain, his running mate isn't qualified for the job.

How do you know my ex-XX ?

Empathy of a shark ? Check !

Looks good ? Check !

Sweetest person ever ? Not so much...

It's even more ironic that said ex-XX looks more like Tina Fey than Tina looks like Sarah Palin...

First time I saw Tina Fey I was smitten , 'cause she looked so much like 'my girl'...

Tina has the snarkier sense of humour...My ex has the 'sharkier' one...

Sarah Palin look(ed) like a couple or three of my dates from high school...

OMG she is such a fucking idiot!

Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you've said you have been listening to Joe Biden's speeches since you were in second grade.

Gov. Palin: It's been since like '72, yah.

Katie Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate, is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden's been around awhile?

Gov. Palin: Oh no, it's nothing negative at all. He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.

Top 10 Reasons Sarah Palin Cancels the Debate

10. Suspicious Russian tourists spotted across the Bering strait in Dezhnevo

9. Wrasslin' a bear

8. Learns Tina Fey will be watching

7. When taken on tour of White House by McCain handlers, is "inadvertently" locked in Cheney's man-sized safe

6. Schedule for memorizing state capitals thrown off by need for new schedule to memorize states

5. Speechless after finally looking up what "MILF" stands for

4. On deadline to finish her book, Namin' Your Baby the Alaskan Way

3. Needs more time to really nail those hilarious hair-plug zingers

2. No matter how hard she scrubs, she can't get Kissinger's moral stank off of her

1. Stuck in traffic on the Bridge to Nowhere

Thought this was funny:

http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/30/you-can-see-russia-from-here/

Quote:

You CAN see Russia from here!

When talking about what she says is her foreign policy experience, Sarah Palin told ABC news “…you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.”
That quote made us want to go to that island.

So we did.

The island is called Little Diomede. It looks like a rock plopped into the Bering Strait. Only about 150 Alaskans live on the whole island. And just about two miles away; in full view of every single house on the island is the nation of Russia. Specifically, it is the Russian Island of Big Diomede which sits about 25 miles from the Russian Siberian mainland (which you can also see from the American island.) Most everybody on Little Diomede had relatives who lived on Big Diomede.

But decades ago, the Russian government sent them all to the mainland, and today, Big Diomede is limited to a Russian military presence. It’s also a full day in front of Little Diomede because it’s on the other side of the International Date Line. Little Diomede is fascinating. It looks like the moon would if you built a lunar settlement. It’s full of rocks, dirt, and craters. We were curious if Sarah Palin has ever visited this island. According to the natives, the answer is no.

As a matter of fact, no Alaska governor in the state’s nearly 50 year history has ever visited the remote outpost that still has little running water. We were curious what the Little Diomeders thought about Palin’s claim of foreign policy experience because of the proximity of Siberia. Interestingly, many of these Alaskans had no idea who Sarah Palin was! It turns out they have no TV on the island, and therefore, many don’t follow the news.

The island’s mayor has heard of her though. No American mayor resides in a city closer to Russia than Andrew Milligrock, and he says being two miles from Russia doesn’t give him any foreign policy expertise.

He does say she seems like an okay governor, but exclaims she should probably pay a visit to Little Diomede sometime. It may not help her foreign policy experience says the mayor, but would definitely help her domestic policy experience. We hope you’ll watch our story about this most unique American island tonight on AC360.

Palin Brushing Up On Foreign Policy At Epcot
SEPTEMBER 29, 2008

Quote:
ORLANDO, FL—Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin sought to silence those who have criticized her lack of foreign affairs experience Tuesday by announcing plans for a weeklong, 10-nation tour of Walt Disney World's Epcot. According to Palin, the trip—her first past Frontierland—will include speaking engagements at Norway's famous Viking ride, sausages at Germany's Kaufhaus, and, time permitting, a fact-finding mission to Future World. "This ambitious trip should finally demonstrate that I am ready to assume the vice presidency, whether by standing in long lines at Morocco's Tangierine Café or by sitting down face-to-face with Mexico's Three Caballeros," Palin announced during a campaign stop outside a Chinese restaurant in Tulsa, OK. "All of our neighbors deserve good diplomacy, from the Universe of Energy down to the French pavilion." Palin also promised a visit to the American Adventure exhibit before returning home, adding that she hoped to learn more about her own nation and the diverse peoples within.

Palin said if she and John McCain win, they will "put government back on the side of the people of Joe Six-pack like me."

The Palin demographic - getting warmer ... warmer ... waiting for someone to come right out and say it ...

***************************************************************

BTW - she says she 'knows' how the average USer lives. Why, just the other day she lost about $20,000 in investments when the stock markets tanked. Why, she's just like you and me I'll bet. Except I don't even have $20,000 in stock market investments. And neither does her constituency. Do you ?

Somehow the idea of a foreign policy neophyte soliciting advice from the Imp of Satan (Kissinger) just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

The only reason THAT old bastard is still alive is cause the Devil is too scared of a coup to take him.
