Depends on what you are talking about when you say qualified...
Qualified for what?

A nervous laugh from a person in deep denial., no not really nervous, just really
So this is her second kid?
All Palin has to do is cry when she talks about it. Crisis over.
To assume the office of the presidency.
Again, I know we disagree on this issue and I don't know that we will reconcile those differences of opinion.
Oh well if qualifications to assume the office of the Presidency are your primary concern, then you should be voting for McCain...not Obama.
This is where you bring up that qualifications aren't important to you but if they were...Presidential Candidate Obama's made one more trip to Iraq than Vice Presidential Candidate Palin has...
I think the key difference is that I think education and job experience are key aspects to being qualified. Others think that only executive experience (of any type) should matter (I'm not necessarily including you in that category).
So we can argue about who has more "experience" or is more qualified, but until we can come to an agreement about what type of experience should matter, the argument is an exercise in futility. I do appreciate the insight though.
Bottomline about all of this is that Obama had one thing going for him...he's likeable. Guess what, he's not as likeable as Palin is...
It's really just that simple...
And I consider that he is a Harvard educated lawyer a negative BTW...there is no shortage of those in Washington DC...they don't exactly make it a better place if you know what I mean.
But it's what jackasses like boutons do best, is it any surprise?It's a 17 year-old girl going through an unplanned pregnancy in front of the national media.
This shouldn't be politicized.
It's amazing, Clinton was running, and Demos insisted Chelsea should be hands off as far as any attacks go.
Here we are a couple of years later, and the libs will use anything they can to protect the Chosen One.
This is where you say his advantage in foreign policy is simply that he is likeable to foreign leaders, but Palin is more likeable than him.
Therefore she is a better foreign leader.
Then we point out he is on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and reached across the isle to pen legislation on foreign matters.
Then I think you say something about how close Alaska and Russia are. And they've been intertwined forever, maybe even so close Alaska is still Russian.
Then we say that section of Siberia is one of the emptiest quarters in the world. As is Alaska.
And that Boston, Mass., is closer to Moscow than Juneau is.
Then you say something about Obama being a secrit mosslem and was 'raised in a madrassah' and is a .
I think the key difference is that you don't have a leg to stand on...
First and foremost being because you are comparing a VP to a P. And it gets more flawed from there...
Why don't you just simply say the truth...you like Democrats better, and you are voting for Obama because you like him.
It's more logical that way...
I agree that McCain is qualified. I've never said that he wasn't. In fact, I argued against those who asserted that Palin somehow has more qualifications that he does. I think that such an argument is ridiculous. I also think that Obama is qualified, given his education and prior job experience.
Regarding Palin's likeability;
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5700022&page=1The McCain campaign raised more than $10 million in the two and a half days after Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was named as the vice presidential running mate, bringing the total raised in the month of August to more than $47 million, campaign officials tell ABC News.
This coming from a poster who has played the race card on here a couple of times over anyone having the audacity to question or not get down on their knees for Obama.
Classic.
I do like Democrats better. I am a secular progressive (as O'Reilly would say). I've never denied that. If you've seen any of my posts, you'd see that it's quite evident. I do think the argument of you can't hold a VP candidate up to the same criteria you would a P candidate is questionable. What do you do if/when the VP has to assume the role of P? Do you make apologies and claim "Well, we honestly never thought she'd have to do this?". And again, I wasn't comparing her directly to Obama. I compared her to the three others on the national ticket.
I never called her a i was playing devils advocate
Personally i dont think she's a i just think its laughable to think some of the religious right won't be further pushed away from the ticket because of this.
Remember when Barack Obama gave that speech when he accepted the Democratic nomination? Man that seems like forever ago...
laughable
I find it hard to believe alabama red necks selling tshirts with sexist slogans were all liberal. Etc, Etc. The sexism goes across the board.
You make it sound like the bad things Obama supporters say about Hilary weren't also said by Repubs, and the bad things Hilary supporters said about Obama weren't also said by Repubs.
They were. You talk of nbadan, boutons, etc, how bout tpark, gtown, etc.
The point is that if you find certain types of behavior slimy and slanderous,
maybe it would be better to rise above them and improve on them, rather than imitating them to perfection, which gives the impression that maybe you view those characteristics as somehow admirable since you've chosen to adopt them.
A whole 24 people? Wow, that's a credible sample for a Country of 300,000,000.
That amounts to nothing more than a tainted whisper, and you have the audacity to post that in response to the $10.5 million in 2 days, the Palin selection brought into the McCain campaign?
Who cares this is a non story. She is doing the right thing.
Some of them will be...good for the Republicans if they get rid of some of the heads.
You guys are the ones saying McCain is the same as Bush...
The problem is the Democrats are comprised entirely of those sorts of heads...and they have them in leadership positions.
TPark hardly posts in the political forum and no one knows what gtown is tallking about half the ing time...I had a like a 10 page flame war with gtown in this forum.
It's laughable that you would somehow insinuate that I agree with them or am allied with them...ask them if they think that.
Meanwhile, boutons and Nbadan never shut the up...never.
And that is typical of the Democrat party.
