Because some of us know BS when we see it.

Speaking of kos, when she was pranked on the phone the other day, she completely missed that the prankers said "Kos" instead of "Harper" when they mentioned the Canadian Prime minister.

She doesn't even know the last name of the Canadian prime minister, a country her state shares a border with and she claims is one of the reasons she has foreign policy experience.

If Obama is qualified, so is she.

If I were Obama, though, I would not be applying for a Manager Trainee job at MacDonalds: He has no worthwhile experience.

If Sarah Palin wasn't qualified and wasn't a threat to Obama/Biden, this thread wouldn't be here in the first place...

I would love for someone to tell me without mellow dramatics why Obama is experienced (real examples not basing Palin) and Palin is not.

Because she's a "girl"

I'm shocked that more women are not totally outraged over this election and the vile harassment waged on Hillary and Palin...

How can she be qualified if she doen't even know what it is she is supposed to be doing. I mean, come on, she has not once, not twice but THREE times answered the "What does a VP do" question WRONG! 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.

I'm just curious, exactly what kind of worthwhile experience does Palin have?

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.

so we should decide who is qualified based on experience?
