The problem is that they’re defining it as some “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” type thing, and it’s not.

From an Obama supporter, that is some funny fucking shit right there.

As for her creationist views, I guess I could tolerate that part, but really, someone who turns their back that far on scientific knowledge shouldn’t be trusted to understand and deal with the technological issue we have today.

Yes, I’m not thrilled about the fact that Obama and Biden are both anti-gun, but guess what? With the way congress is right now, and the current popular view of gun rights, they won’t have much of a chance to get any real legislation through on that issue.

They’ll try. And they’ll start with an AWB. And it’s not just the gun issue, they’re bad damn near everything we free market, libertarian sorts like.

And i never really mentioned the bridge. She did take on corrupt politicians from her own party in her state without party support. And won.

I’d say it’s worth it to not have another 4 years of Bush lite.

*didn’t really oppose the bridge to nowhere ( http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/08/29/did-palin-really-fight-the-bridge-to-nowhere.aspx)

*obviously, troopergate

I know she’s short in the HopeChange ™ department, though, being a bitter clinger!

Honestly, this is just a cynical choice to try to secure the base, and you’re falling right into their strategy.

I know. An actual executive with executive experience and a record of success in a package that represents what Republicans tell us they stand for. I mean, it’s not HopeChange ™ but it’s something!!!

She ran Wasilla’s finances into the ground, how the fuck do you think she would make a good president?
WELLL DURRR SHE’S HOT AND LIKES GUNS

Actually it is her amazing sucess of attacking the old boy network and cronyism. She took on established incumbents and won!
She got an AG and others arrested for bribery and corruption.

She had no help from the GOP to get elected. She fought and won on her own merits not her fathers or husbands political connections.

But governing Alaska is probably easier since the people are so self reliant. Other than being a good administrator and balance the books and her years as mayor helped there. She just needed to maintains schools and roads. Though she did good work on new pipeline to use the natural gas rather than just flaring it off.

She must be a natural leader and very energetic. Good shooter too.

There it is! A helluva lot to respect and admire about that lady.

I hadn’t thought of that before, and it’s a very good point. So good that I just had to steal it (with full credit and linkage, of course).

The Obamassiah simply has no experience to compare.

A person competent to administer any other state could still be in over his/her head in Alaska. With Palin’s record of success to this point in the toughest laboratory of leadership in the country I find it amazing that some are so dismissive of the talent and character it takes to perform well in that laboratory.

But hey, there’s no accounting for defective thought processes. It is not a thing to be joked about, unless of course, defective thought processes are actually a learned skill.

Hell, she was co-captain of her championship high school basketball team. That alone gives her more leadership experience than Obama.

Any state that doesn’t get him more than 4 electoral votes, obviously. That’s democrat thinking.

She hasn’t run a state, she’s run Alaska. Fourteen Inuit and a few hundred thousand moose (tasty, by the way) do not a state make.

*ducks*

We send our congratulations to Governor Sarah Palin and her family on her designation as the republican nominee for Vice President. It is yet another encouraging sign that old barriers are falling in our politics. While we obviously have differences over how best to lead this country forward Governor Palin is an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign.

Oh, wait, nevermind…

How anybody can believe that a person who’s run a state is less qualified to run the USA than a congressman who’s only run his mouth is beyond me.
