That is correct. McCain/Palin have executive experiance. Obama/Biden have none between them. Just a fact. Layoutshooter

I have a lot of experience in foreign policy; I can look out my window on a nice clear morning and see Vladimir Putin getting into his jacuzzi with 15 Russian chicks. lol The perception of executive experience is not what is going to win this election people. The debates, the economy, peoples perception of how things are in Iraq and other factors will have a profound impact on this election. People want change. People are very upset with the Republican party. I used to respect the Republican party principles of limited government and reduced government spending. But I have walked away from the Republican party because they have presided over the largest expansion of government since FDR. I can't support the patriot act, the department of homeland security, the 700 billion dollar bailout for corporations, and the countless dollars that are being squandered in Iraq. This is not the Republican party of Ronald Reagan. Until things change within the Republican party ranks, I will have to vote as an independent. At least the Obama/Biden ticket are actually interested in tracking down Osama Bin Laden. Bush has had 7 years to get Osama and he has failed the American people yet again.

Now, that being said, Sarah Palin is a very polarizing figure in American politics. She is a very good speaker and a very accomplished woman. And while there is no doubt in my mind that she can learn a lot more about world politics and foreign affairs, the fact of the matter is that she is not qualified to be vice president at this particular time. This has a lot to do with Mccain as well; Mccain did not prepare her for her interviews. Once you give people a certain perception of your intelligance it is very hard to convince them otherwise. You only have one shot at a first impression and failing to answer key questions in a debate followed by her reciting the same talking points over and over again was unimpressive. I think the Mccain campaign did a lousy job of preparing Palin for her first interview and this has caused people to think that she lacks the intelligence to be our next Vice President. For god sakes she couldn't even name one freakin newspaper! I'm not the brightest bulb in the light socket, but I can rattle off a few political newspapers right off the top of my head. Again, this really hurt her image. You gotta understand that Palin was a good choice (she turned Mccain's 10 point gap into a 2 point lead the day after she was introduced) but she has now cost him points because she was not prepared for that first interview and the debates with Biden.

The Mccain campaign should have blasted bush for not going after Osama Bin Laden and should have reassured the people that they were going to do whatever it takes to get him. They should have lashed out at the banks that used unethical loan practices to line their own pockets. Mccain should have given a clear cut plan on how he was going to reduce the national debt and turn around our near 10 trillion dollar trade deficit. There are a lot of things that Mccain could have done to reassure the American people and the Republican's that he was not going to be an extension of the Bush administration. He failed to do this and now the independent voters are flocking to Barack Obama because Obama is offering something different. It simply amazes me how the Democrats are now the ones who are perceived to be the best party to go after Osama Bin Laden. What have you done to the Republican party "Mcain" when "liberals" are the ones coming out proclaiming that they are going to track Osama down (even if they have to go into Pakistan)? This is a shame, but this is what has happened in recent weeks and we are all going to have to wait and see who wins on election night.

Obama/Biden will not go after Bib Laden, they agree with what he did. Remember Ayers? He was trilled with the attacks on 9/11. He wished he had done more. Wright loved the attacks. These are Obama's role models. Layoutshooter

You`re right that we all will have to wait to see how it turns out on election night, but the one thing you forget about either candidate, and the sitting president, is that none of them will accomplish much without a cooperating congress. If we get a democratic president with a democratic veto proof congress, we might as well all bend over.

I think we'd still be bending over with a Republican President and Republican house...

Take their labels off and throw them into a box of GrapeNut Flakes and they all look the same?

 

[blizzard2014]

Yes a Dem controlled congress along with a Dem president is going to be bad for conservatives. But who do we have to blame for this? The Republicans are not the same party that they were when Newt Gingrich made his (contract with America). And yes, Obama might not go after Osama Bin Laden, but the voters think that he is going to. It is all about perception and the Republicans have allowed the Democrats to hijack the issue of Terrorism. Obama (at least in some public perception amongst independent voters) owns the issue of terrorism!

Ovm is right. Picture the government as being a large corporation. Well within this large corporation you have two managers "the Republicans" and "the Democrats!" That's it. If you do not like the way one manager runs the company you can elect a different manager. Botton line is they are all controlled by the coroporations, shadow government, rulling elites, and whoever lines their pockets with money. The government needs a third party to be viable.

Absolute power, corrupts absolutely ...as the saying goes...

 

[arrbsthw]

Obama will not have to go after Osama Bin Laden.
If he is still alive we will see him soon enough.
on our turf, of course.

 

[layoutshooter]

Yep, we are going to electe him. Layoutshooter

 

[layoutshooter]

You state that Palin is not qualified, how is Obama? What in his backround qualifies him? His use of drugs? His lack of employment? His hanging around with criminals? What qualifies Biden? His lies about his education, which he admits to. His repeated plegerism? His 36 years without a job? His family backround with all the FBI investigations into securitys fraud? Palin is polarizing? What about Obama? He hates everything that I and tens of millions of Americans hold dear. How is that not polarizing? I think they are all just polititions. They all suck. Some just suck more than others. Obama is a indurstrail grade vacuum cleaner. Layoutshooter

 

[LDB]

Palin is more qualified than Obama for any position you can name. She's got experience as governor that's more qualifying than Obama's senate time. His largest block of experience is in shunning responsibility and accountability by voting present rather than yea or nay. He is definitely the smoothest talker among the candidates. The snake oil salesmen of the old west were smooth talkers too. That doesn't mean they were worth anything or could be trusted.

If even part of what you people say is true, then it will be an easy thing for you to keep him from being elected to office. After all, everyone knows what a fine job the Republicans did during their 6 years of total control.

Blame the liberals for everything, lets use the drill here drill now deal. If the Republicans had wanted to drill they would have overturned the ban that a Republican President put in place when they was in total control. But no they wait until they are not in total control so they can blame the liberals for not drilling.

The last three Republican Presidents have each doubled the national debit, but I suppose that it is the liberals fault. I don't know how it is, but I believe someone here will tell me.

 

[layoutshooter]

Too bad you never learned history. Well, maybe you did. The new U.S.S.S. Of America version. No president ran up a debt, congress did. The president does not have the power to spend money. Only the House of Representitives can. All that pork from all parties did it. All the massive socialist programs. The massive transfer of wealth out of the country for "feel good" projects. Welfare, Medicate, Medicare. All socialism. Spend only what is allowed under the Constitution, vote ALL imcombents out. Do not vote in anyone who is an incumbent in any office any where. We really should start a tax revolt, stop paying all taxes. Take away thier power. But you won't, you want socialism, it relieves you of responsibilty. Layoutshooter

 

[late4dinner]

You do a good job of proving my point. The Republicans was in total control for the first 6 years. Bush never saw a spending bill he didn't like until the Dems sent him one, then he cried that they was busting the budget. Just once tell me when the Republicans worried about spending more than they took in.

Cut income and increase spending. What part of economics 101did the Republicans learn that from?

I've been doing a bit of research....thanks to my wife's input....
Republicans spend and get us into debt then we vote them out and bring in the Dems and the economy gets better BUT they cut the military everyone gets T'd off and then in comes the Repubs...its a repeated process over the last 8-10 admins.

Man, have you guys had bad history or re-written history or bad teachers. You are not looking far enough into the past. You have to go back to when the socialism really took hold. I would argue you have to go back to Lincoln. He destroyed states rights. For this arguement I go back to what I call that beginning of the socialist movement in the U.S. The formation of the Social Securtity program. It has been down hill ever since with more and more socialist programs being put into affect. Go back to 1930 and graph out what party held each house and by what majority on a two year graph. Then impose socialist bills, like social security, etc on to the graph. It has taken this long for the problem to build. As we imposed more and more punitive taxes, fees it kept takin money out of the economy. Every time we sent money overseas, like to study flies in Africa etc. it went out of our economy. Then you can't even what needs done at all. Get forensic CPA's to trace money lose and the effects of those laws and how over those 80 years or so this problem built up. That is how you find the answers. Both parties are to blame but you will find that the Dems have held power much more than the Repubs and passed why more of this type of parasitic legislation. The time has come to pay for all of it. The Dems will do it by expanding taxes on the most productive and re-distributing the money down to the leeches until it runs out. Won't take long now. Durning that time they will dismantel all of our freedoms, and turn us into a Soviet Style dictatorship known as the United Soviet Socialist States of America. They will do it by force if needed. Of course many in here want that. I don't. Do you? Layoutshooter

In fact run it back to around 1900 and graph out the world wide rise of communism and include that in your studies. It is that complicated. This is how we analysed problems in the intell business. When enough time is taken true pictures start to come out. Don't think for one minute that this started with this president or the last. The move to stamp out freedom has been world wide, it started 100 years ago and has cost 100's of million of lives. They are NOT done killing yet. It is our turn. Please do not elect the Marxist. Let's go after the crooks and thieve in both the House and Senate. Take control back now, this election, or it's too late. Layoutshooter
