"Heartbeat away from the Presidency...."

[Ignignokt]

the pigs are squeeling, they're hurt.

[Hook Dem]

Breaking news..............The democrats on this board don't like McCain's pick and are attempting to discredit her. Keep trying fools!!!! This woman is an excellent pick and you will realize that after she & McCain smoke Obama-Biden.

[Ignignokt]

Obama Binladen 2008!!

[Mr. Peabody]

Obama Binladen 2008!!

That's it. That's all you got...

gtown, I'm disappointed.

[Buddy Holly]

According to Fox News, Palin is a foreign policy expert because Alaska is next to Russia





Is this the best they can do...?

That's getting played on the Daily Show and Colbert Report tonight.

[Buddy Holly]

Expect to hear this statement A LOT in the next few days.

I must have read ten times from ten different democrats already. No doubt it was sent out to all the libs early this morning.

Dude, shut the up.

The repubs had EXPERIENCE the past week, now they have EXECUTIVE.

[possessed]

....precisely because we heard A LOT about Obama's "lack of experience" from Republicans and Conservatives. Turnabout is fair play. Deal with it.

Palin is the only one on either ticket with executive experience. Deal with that.

[PixelPusher]

Palin is the only one on either ticket with executive experience. Deal with that.

I see...Palin is more qualified than Obama, Biden and McCain. Yeah, you go with that.

That'll wash.

Sure, no prob.

Tell me one thing either one of those dudes has actually run, whether it be a state, city, fast food franchise. Just name something.

BTW, WTF is with the governor of Alaska making as many trips to Iraq as Barack Obam-uh?

Still can't think of anything, can you?

Look at all the liberals trying to find any excuse to hate on a MILF. I always knew they were closet dwellers.

All I know is that I would be ready from day one to take over the presidency and you all know that.

Whoa, you really got me there. Clearly all the collective years of experience dealing with national and international issues by those Senators mean compared to the awesome power and responsibility of being the governor of one of the least populated states in the union.

Why has the governor of Alaska been to Iraq as many times as Obama? How does Obama's missing senate votes equal international experience? Was that speech in Germany that caused him to take a dive in the polls considered part of his international experience?

Oh, I forgot, he's a citizen of the world...

Seriously though, you're doing a good job of avoiding my question.

Not just that, the GDP of Alaska is around $40 billion. To contrast, here is a list of other economies here in the US -

As governor of Alaska for nearly 2 whole years, Palin's contribution to American foreign policy has been...?

Dude, she hasn't even been briefed on all of McCain's positions on the issues yet. Talk about a cram session.

Oh, I forgot, he's a citizen of the world...

So was Ronald Reagan, don't forget to rofl at him too, duh.

Seriously though, you're doing a good job of avoiding my question.

I readily concede that neither McCain, Obama or Biden has Palin's recent "experience" as governor of a podunk state government.

Becoming mayor at 31 years old can't really compare to being a "community organizer" but seriously, what can?

Podunk state... And WTF is Delaware?

Wayne Campbell: Or imagine being whisked away to... Delaware. "Hi, I'm in Delaware."

[jochhejaam]

Dude, shut the up.

Buddy, don't you tell Gino to shut the up!

Wow, you really burned Governor Biden with that one. Oh, wait, that's right, he's a Senator.

What has Obama done as Senator again? His big accomplishments are what? More questions for you to ponder and not offer an answer to.

Palin's approval rating is 80%. What are the Senator's again? Was it 5% or 7%? I lost track.

And you insults at Christ have no effect on me. I've called him worse.

[Mr. Peabody]

Actually....

SurveyUSA Releases Approval Ratings for All 100 U.S. Senators; Obama of IL Rated Highest, Cornyn of TX Lowest

VERONA, N.J. -- Barack Obama (D-IL) has the highest approval rating of any United States Senator and John Cornyn (R-TX) has the lowest, according to 50 separate but concurrent statewide public opinion polls conducted by SurveyUSA for its media clients across the country.

SurveyUSA interviewed 600 adults in each of the 50 states 6/10-6/13. Approval rating questions were asked identically in all 50 states.

72% of Illinois adults approve of the job Obama is doing, making Obama #1 when Senators are ranked from 1 to 100. Obama edges 4 other Senators who had approval ratings of 71%.

40% of Texans approve of the job Cornyn is doing. Cornyn is ranked 100th.

[PixelPusher]

Since you're too lazy to look it up yourself:
(and spare me the predictable "you used wikipedia?" smack, it'll all factual info.)

Obama voted in favor of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and cosponsored the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act.[54] In September 2006, Obama supported a related bill, the Secure Fence Act.[55] Obama introduced two initiatives bearing his name: "Lugar–Obama," which expanded the Nunn–Lugar cooperative threat reduction concept to conventional weapons,[56] and the "Coburn–Obama Transparency Act," which authorized the establishment of www.USAspending.gov, a web search engine.[57]

Obama sponsored legislation requiring nuclear plant owners to notify state and local authorities of radioactive leaks.[58] In December 2006, President Bush signed into law the "Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act," marking the first federal legislation to be enacted with Obama as its primary sponsor.[59] In January 2007, Obama co-sponsored the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, which was signed into law in September 2007.[60] He introduced S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections.[61] Obama also introduced the Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007.

Later in 2007, Obama sponsored an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges.[64] He sponsored the "Iran Sanctions Enabling Act" supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran's oil and gas industry, and co-sponsored legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism.[65][66] Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program providing one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries.[67]

Committees

Obama held assignments on the Senate Committees for Foreign Relations, Environment and Public Works and Veterans' Affairs through December 2006.[68] In January 2007, he left the Environment and Public Works committee and took additional assignments with Health, Education, Labor and Pensions and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.[69] He also became Chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on European Affairs.[70] As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama has made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa.[71][72][73][74]

National issues, foreign and domestic. Commitees. Debriefings. Lots of you don't get to do as a state governor. I'm sure Palin is in the mother of all cram sessions right now with all of McCain's policy advisors to bring her up to speed on all of this stuff.

Palin's approval rating is 80%. What are the Senator's again? Was it 5% or 7%? I lost track.

You didn't lose track, you're just too dumb to differentiate between an individual's poll numbers and an ins ution's poll numbers. Do you really think 95% of the congress members up for re-election this year are going to get the boot?

And you insults at Christ have no effect on me. I've called him worse.

Christ, I apologize for not including a comma.

Christ, possessed is dumb.

[Ignignokt]

That's it. That's all you got...

it took about as much effort as ripping msnbc talking points.

McCain: Obama Lacks Experience Running 5,000-Person Town in Alaska

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) used the announcement of his vice-presidential pick, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, to blast the experience of his Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill), arguing that Sen. Obama has never been the mayor of a 5,000-person town.

"The Presidency of the United States of America is the toughest job on the planet," Sen. McCain said. "And my friends, the best testing ground for that job is being the mayor of a 5,000-person town in Alaska."

Sen. McCain unleashed a savage attack on Sen. Obama, claiming that his Democratic opponent would be "at a loss" when faced with the challenges of running a 5000-person municipality in Alaska.

"Let's say a cons uent calls you and says that a caribou has wandered onto his front lawn," he said. "My friends, Barack Obama wouldn't know what to do."

It's satire.
