    OK one last thing then I'm out. The agenda of big oil thing (as posted earlier) is pretty b.s. Don't buy into it, please. Feel free to not vote for her because of the foreign policy stuff. But she's done no rolling over for big oil.

    OK out for reals this time.

    Well they certainly showed that mentality when "pants suit" was still in the race.

    Alaska's population is under 1,000,000. So she has managed a "business'' that is smaller than many U.S. cities.

    And does she have any foreign policy experience at all?

    Obama's ''experience'' has been tested in 2 years of running for president, he's proven he has knowledge and the ability to make decisions (including picking a vice president who doesn't make everyone go "huh?'').

    One of my "racist'' friends who were making up fake excuses to not vote for Obama (he's a muslim!) said during that conversation that whoever McCain picked to be vice president would be very important to her, because of how old he is. I wonder what she'll say now?
     
  4. Moose can't vote, but caribou is another issue.

    Obama voted for the "Bridge to Nowhere," and Palin rejected it. Small point, but a telling one.

    I love Boom's idea of using Biden's quote against Obama. And when Palin tries to kiss Hillary's ass in public to steal votes ...

    [quote author=Newsweek]Once onstage, together with Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Palin talked about what women expect from women leaders; how she took charge in Alaska during a political scandal that threatened to unseat the state's entire Republican power structure, and her feelings about Sen. Hillary Clinton. (She said she felt kind of bad she couldn't support a woman, but she didn't like Clinton's "whining.")[/quote]

    Oops.

    No offense, but perhaps you needed to have your livelihood more imperiled than it appears to have been.

    It has been awful the past eight years, after eight great, great years.

    I'd love to see if you would be spouting so cavalierly if you were unemployed.

    I would hardly say he kicked her ass. He got off to a big lead, she came damn close to tying the game and he pulled it out late in the fourth quarter.

    Yeah, I conceded that point. No ass kicking. Razor thin, in fact. A whisker. A wild hair.
    Still *** It's Obama-Biden. Not Clinton-(whatever). Like everyone thought it would be for a long time.
    My whole point is the guy knows his shit and I'm much more confident in his readiness than I am Miss Mooseville.

    (and I say that Mooseville shit just for yuks, by the way, to jerk the chains of those who are upset that anyone dare question her credentials. I'm sure she was a fine mayor).

    I'm a true independent.

    You, Mizz, tony, BlownAwayInGary... jokers of the ilk.... you couldn't erase a party line even if a gun was to your head.

    Sad and small-minded.

    You know, she may be the greatest thing since sliced bread but I don't think you can equate her experience with being mayor of Podunkville and governor of one of the least densely populated states in the union with the experience necessary to be VP of the US.

    That's like calling me a hockey executive because I was general manager of my kids' midget hockey team.
