So these are the reasons that I am finding:

McCain is going to die and Palin will be President, hmmmmm.  Seems like a drama series out there, Prison Break.

She has not cleaned up the Alaskan government taking kick backs?  Interesting..

She fired a guy because he wouldn’t fire her ex Brother In Law?  That is what she is being investigated for.  There are no facts so far pointing to this outside of her being related at one time to a Police Officer that had a terrible record before she had power.  Interesting..

Still do not see anything out there about Biden and being the ring leader in the new Bankruptcy laws which have increased foreclosures in the Country in turn has weakened the economy.  Also, being the same guy that stated Barack was too young for office and lacked experience..  Hmmmmm…

Very interesting..

Oh yeah, I am still trying to find the experience that either Biden or Obama have with foreign relations.  Please fill me in here…

Simple enough to find out. What’s not so simple is McCain’s and/or Palin’s foreign relations experiences.

Obama/Biden:
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Chairman of the Senate’s subcommittee on European Affairs
Committee on Foreign Relations (chairman)
Caucus on International Narcotics Control (co-chairman)

McCain/Palin:
Chairman of the International Republican Institute

Tell me the length of time in for Obama..

Tell me the length in the Senate for McCain..

Tell me the length of time in for Obama..

Tell me the length in the Senate for McCain..

Obama has 11 years in State-level politics (Legislator and Senator), Biden has 35, for a total of 46 years in political leadership including extensive foreign relations experience.

If Biden has to assume the CIC position, we still have someone with 35 years of experience and extensive foreign relations experience.

McCain has 25 years in State-level politics (Congressman and Senator), Palin has 1 1/2, for a total of 26 1/2 years in political leadership with minimal foreign relations experience.

If Palin has to assume the CIC position, we have someone with 1 1/2 years of experience as a state governor and no foreign relations experience.

and we should have somebody with experience...like Al Gore had after he created the internet.

Worried about Palin?  Yes indeed.  America doesn’t need another pregnant teenage role-model.

She is going to shore up the Conservative base in ways McCain can’t

lol....how so?

Indulge me here - how many years of government and foreign relations experience did George Washington have when he became CIC?

and we should have somebody with experience...like Al Gore had after he created the internet.

Obviously you never read the facts about how Senator Gore funded a little known Pentagon project that no one else thought had much protential.  The reason we are typing away on the WWW is because Gore saw ARPANET’s vast potential and made sure it stayed funded.

Washington was appointed a district adjutant general in the Virginia militia in 1752, which made him Major Washington at the age of 20. He was charged with training the militia in the quarter assigned him.

In December 1753, Washington was asked by Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia to carry a British ultimatum to the French on the Ohio frontier. Washington assessed French military strength and intentions, and delivered the message to the French at Fort Le Boeuf in present day Waterford, Pennsylvania. The message, which went unheeded, called for the French to abandon their development of the Ohio country, setting in motion two colonial powers toward worldwide conflict. Washington’s report on the affair was widely read on both sides of the Atlantic.

After fighting broke out in April 1775, Washington appeared at the Second Continental Congress in military uniform, signaling that he was prepared for war. Washington had the prestige, the military experience, the charisma and military bearing, the reputation of being a strong patriot, and he was supported by the South, especially Virginia. Although he did not explicitly seek the office of commander and even claimed that he was not equal to it, there was no serious competition.

Congress created the Continental Army on June 14, 1775; the next day, on the nomination of John Adams of Massachusetts, Washington was appointed Major General and elected by Congress to be Commander-in-chief.

Palin Was a Director of Embattled Sen. Stevens’s 527 Group

ST. PAUL—Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began building clout in her state’s political circles in part by serving as a director of an independent political group organized by the now embattled Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens…

Palin, an anti-corruption crusader in Alaska, had called on Stevens to be open about the issues behind the investigation. But she also held a joint news conference with him in July, before he was indicted, to make clear she had not abandoned him politically.

Stevens had been helpful to Palin during her run for governor, swooping in with a last moment endorsement. And the two filmed a campaign commercial together to highlight Stevens’s endorsement of Palin during the 2006 race.

Shortly after Palin was announced as McCain’s vice presidential pick, the ad was removed from her gubernatorial campaign web site. It remains available on YouTube.

Fear and Retribution: Palin’s Pattern Of Governance
http://blackstarnews.com/?c=135&a=4835

~snip~

[Black Star News Exclusive: Election 2008]

While the national press is apparently giving Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin a free pass regarding the many and varied skeletons in her closet during her short, yet checkered, political career as a small-town mayor and small-state governor, an extensive pattern of administrative misconduct and political grandstanding by Palin is slowly emerging from the small, often insulated communities of the so-called “Last Frontier.”

It does not a pretty picture make.

Ever since she was first elected to her hometown Wasilla city council in 1992, Palin’s political career has been marked by controversy and petty political infighting.

Currently under a state ethics investigation for the firing of Alaska state police chief Walt Monegan—a process in which Palin has clearly lied and attempted an extensive administrative cover-up—Palin has a record of controversial dismissals dating back to her days as mayor of Wasilla and for which she faced a political recall.

One of those controversies surrounded the firing of Wasilla police chief Irl Stambaugh…

Teenage Pregnant Role Model?  Are you kidding me?  You are picking on her daughter?  Amazing..

No suprise though..

Teenage Pregnant Role Model?  Are you kidding me?  You are picking on her daughter?  Amazing.

Yes, and if it was Chelsea the Neo-Cons would be all kinds of compassionate and understanding.  Get a grip.

No one knows anything about Palin except she risked her own pregnancy (by taking an 11 hour flight after her water broke) and did a poor job of convincing her 17 year old daughter to abstain from pre-marital sex.

Did a poor job, huh?  I am sure that Chelsea didn’t have sex before marriage. I am sure Obama’s daughters will not have sex before marriage.  Must be good to be a Saint. 

I have yet to see this, Palin admitted experimenting with Mary Jane..  Hmmm..

Risked her pregnancy.  The one that many have aborted because of being down syndromed?

Very interesting..

Palin Received Millions In Earmarks, Clouding Reformer Image
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/01/palin-received-millions-i_n_123004.html

~snips~

News continues to break regarding vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin that could, in the long term, pose serious problems to one of the main thrusts of the McCain campaign: the message of conservative reform.

The presentation of Palin as an anti-earmark, fiscally conscious pol is challenged by a review of recent political records. As mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, she hired the firm of Hoffman Silver Gilman & Blasco to help secure spending projects for her town. The expenditure apparently paid off. From 2000 through 2002, Wasilla received more than $5.5 million in federal cash for transportation and social service projects…

The use of the earmark system that—as a vice presidential candidate—Palin now criticizes continued into her tenure as governor. As the Los Angeles Times reported, the state of Alaska requested 31 earmarks worth $197.8 million for next year’s federal budget. And according to Citizens Against Government Waste, Alaska received $379,669,715 in pork during fiscal year 2008, nearly $100 million more than any other state.

There are important caveats to this information: projects funded by federal earmarks are often viewed positively by voters, particularly in Alaska, and analysts argue that many earmarks serve important community functions and end up saving taxpayer funds in the long run.

But John McCain has made earmark bashing a cornerstone of his campaign, calling the spending projects a “gateway to corruption.” And since taking on the responsibility of running mate, Palin too has presented herself as a thorn in the side of the earmark culture. When introduced to the public last Friday, McCain said of Palin: she “championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending.” Palin herself touted her opposition to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere, the nearly 400 million-dollar project that Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens requested and which became a rallying cry for McCain. As subsequent news reports pointed out, during her gubernatorial run in 2006, Palin backed the project and sympathized with the communities who wanted the Bridge to Nowhere money. Only when it became a national joke did she change her tune.

Lee_USA, as a matter of FACT I would consider Chelsea and Barack’s children off limits.  I’m going to go out on a limb right here and guess that you are a man?

as a matter of FACT I would consider Chelsea and Barack’s children off limits.

Gee, one down....tens of thousands of Neo-Cons to go…

Like the ones who remained silent when McCain joked that Chelsea’s dad was Janet Reno.  And remained silent when McCain publicly called his current wife, Cindy, a ....(starts with a ‘c’ and rhymes with blunt).

ps...Palin said she opposes funding sexual-education programs in Alaska.  And at home, obviously.  That lack of civic judgment based on her religious biases is the issue.

Proving, once again, that liberals are just as much judgemental hypocrites as “neo-cons.”
