Who here still thinks Sarah Palin is qualified to be President?

Well, okay. Since you are so into your feelings, I'll pull back that bandaid, v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y....and say the parents only killed them, not murdered them.

The parents chose to live in that sess pool, that relinquished their abilities as parents and the ones who chose to be beguiled, due to their own fantasies, failed to protect their babies.

"Here, Sweetpea! Drink this...it's grape, and kind of familiar and sweet,
Go on...drink it...it's grape..."

Oh, forgot. Not the parents fault.

HOPE AND CHANGE.

Orwell must be, if not turning over, then laughing.

Myself....I hope that the over the moon with infatuation woman, commenting on Barry's infomercial, who said she was not worried about filling her gas tank or paying her mortgage, after Obama is in, gets a job that pays for her needs and desires.

Now THAT might be a CHANGE I could believe in.

Me, I'm going back to work...and like McCain, do my best, hope for the majority of Americans to realize the FUNDAMENTALS of this country ARE STRONG.

And vote tomorrow.

Finally, some sanity...

I'd like to hear some educated and well put together thoughts on why people think she ISNT qualified, but think Obama is... and it has to be more than a sentence long ._.[/quote]

Also, I was irked when Palin said in an interview that Obama wasn't qualified because he had no executive experience, yet, the man she is running with doesn't either.
Color me unimpressed.

Exactly! Couldn't rep you again varangian!

or is there an interview or some kind of vetting process?
if someone came to me with a strong resume displaying 10 years experience i'd definitely be interested to sit down with them
during that said sit down, if they appear to be completely unaware of the job description, lacking knowledge on things necessary for the job, and oblivious of my company's history i'd cut the interview short and tell them it was a pleasure (and not hire them)
do you agree?

She's got more "executive experience" than Obama, no two ways about it. Frankly, though, like varangian, I am not impressed by it. And her other qualifications are woefully inadequate.
Sometimes you get someone with a *stellar* resume, and the person is a complete blubbering idiot! Do you hire them? NO!

Because she makes dumb comments. Plain and simple. Some of the things she has said are just asinine.

Strong McCain supporters are saying the same thing. Just face it.

You know though, she has a lot of "executive experience"!

She wasn't quick enough to even name a magazine or newspaper that she reads. The fact, that in her own words, has foreign policy experience because she can see Russia from her porch?!!
I could go on and on, but I believe those statements speak for themselves.

The majority of her "executive experience" is limited to being a mayor of Wasilla, where her daily responsibilities were signing checks and holding staff meetings. Wasilla doesn't offer any social services, so Sarah did not concern herself with the school district, the police department or even the fire department. I honestly don't even see how that prepared her to be Governor in the first place.

Obama has plenty of life experience, that extends outside his home state; unlike Palin. To have experiences at Columbia, Harvard and inter-city Chicago, I think is much more worthwhile than being a mayor of small town and Governor of the second-least populated state in the nation.

I couldn't agree with you more.

I tell you again, she's W in a skirt. Nothing more, nothing less. If you want 4 more years of W-style government, then please vote McCain/Palin. If not, vote for Obama, a 3rd party or don't vote at all.

Thank you, I also agree with this wholeheartedly.

She is NOT qualified. Get over it.

I assume that since you think that, you stay away from the pro-Obama threads. By your reasoning, people who bash him are just threatened by him.

I agree. Wasilla even has a city manager, or did when Sarah was the mayor. All she had to do was cut checks, mess around with the librarians job, things like that. I don't know how anyone can say she is "more qualified" than Obama.
