Govern.

Let’s try his again…

Bush was not qualified to be president, because he was a fucking retard. He was a fucking retard from before he started his presidency.

Fucking Retard is not a condition that can be cured by experience.

When asked to explain his positions, he sounds like a moron. He sounds like a moron trying to explain something to someone dumber than he is.

The fact that you don’t notice this is proof that you are one of the people dumber than he is.

“Now please, explain to people what it is that Palin could not not do in Anchorage than she could do in Juneau. Please. Explain.”

… Have a meeting with members of the legislative branch.

There’s a reason why the head of the government agencies are centralized in Washington and not spread throughout the nation.

Really? I was pretty sure you were trolling harder than ever as the USS McCain goes down like the Titanic.

Jay, this isn’t the argument you’re looking for. Not that you care or are smart enough to keep up with the adults in this thread, but I know you try real hard.

Hell, _I_ wish Obama was a little bit older and seasoned myself, but there’s an extreme version of that — too old, too corrupt, too sullied by insider DC politics. That man is John McCain.

A vote for Obama is a vote for a better, stronger, more stable America. McCain is a vote for another four years of Bushism.

And here we were all weren’t getting used to not missing your not coming around here, uh, not less.

“Riders of the Storm” aka “The American Way”.

Well, let’s see. Obama didn’t run two oil companies into the ground (the only oilman ever to do so) that had to be bought by the binLaden Group; Obama didn’t trade Sammy fucking Sosa; Obama didn’t cripple the Texas school system with debt…
so, yeah, I could see how you could say Obama lacks executive experience.

She certainly could not intimidate policemen on the official governor’s phone, could she?

What was that about honest debate again? I didn’t ask you about Bush’s Presidency. You said Obama was more qualified than Bush was when he decided to run. Explain your point of view. Or are you content to just say “fucking retard” and avoid the issue?

Do the math. 20 months in office, 30 days a month = 600 days in office. More than 300 days spend at home. If we assume she didn’t bill for weekends, that means she spent 70% of her ‘work’ at home.

CS. Not spent “at home.” She worked at her OFFICE IN ANCHORAGE instead of her OFFICE IN JUNEAU. Now please, explain to people what it is that Palin could not not do in Anchorage than she could do in Juneau. Please. Explain.

And “Ringo” gets more hilarious every single time you use it.

There’s a minimum level one should have. Personally, I think that’s about a decade in government. Federal is better than state, but both count.

Once you hit that level, experience becomes less important that where people stand on the issues.

If you think gay people can’t raise children, no amount of experience matters.

It’s a nuanced position, so you will have trouble following it. But I will be willing to explain in greater detail and in smaller words if you want.

I like that. That’s going in the archive.

Abraham Lincoln was at the forefront of a movement that would see the end of slavery in our country (something he spoke out against nearly 23 years before the start of the Civil War) so to compare that experience against Obama’s tracing paper resume is absurd.

Lincoln had no intention of ending slavery when he ran for President.
He may have spoke against it (as Obama did on Iraq) on moral grounds, and he was right to do so and go against popular opinion (as Obama did on Iraq), but there is no evidence to suggest he would end it if he didn’t have to.

But as to resumes, yes, jay, they are almost identical.

Obama is qualified to be President. He knows the law, he knows the Constitution front to back. He is of the required age and an American citizen. That’s it.

NO ONE has experience to be the President except a sitting President, and in Bush’s case, not even then.

She has been governor for less than 2 years, in a position that is not even in session half the year. That workload qualifies her to be governor of Texas, not VP of the U.S.

Plus – ask Republicans in Springfield what it was like to work with Democrat Obama, and it’s generally good reviews. Palin managed to annoy her fellow Republicans in Alaska because they insisted that qualified people be assigned to positions, not just people she went to school with.

The McCain script re-writes are coming with greater rapidity. I thought Obama was unqualified cause he was “only” a community organizer? Or was it do to being “just” a state senator? Then it became that he was a US Senator for “just” two years. How long before we go him being “just” a lecturer at the University of Chicago School of Law or being “just” a Harvard Law grad?

People who are interested in an intellectually honest debate.

That precludes you, as you are incapable of either.

Me: “As for Qualified, he clearly has more qualifications than Bush had.”

Jay: “No, he does not. How does he ‘clearly’ have more qualifications than Bush did at the time he ran.”

Because he’s not a fucking retard. Bush is clearly one of the worst presidents of all time. He couldn’t have done a worse job had he been trying to destroy the nation.

Jay: “No CS. She just did a lot of work out of her office in Anchorage.”

Yeah, and George Bush did some of his best politicing while clearing brush at his fake ranch.

Do the math. 20 months in office, 30 days a month = 600 days in office. More than 300 days spend at home. If we assume she didn’t bill for weekends, that means she spent 70% of her ‘work’ at home.

Man, she’ll be able to break W’s vacation record with ease.

I knew there was a reason why I stopped coming around here less. I lose brain cells dealing with Obama-bots.

Jay: Hey Ringo, there are FIFTY-NINE State senators in Illinois. Now if you think that bears as much responsibility as being the Governor of a state

Obama represented the 13th district in Illinois. Population about 750,000.

Palin represented Alaska, population about 670,000.

Um… what was your point?

Given that the Governor of Alaska’s chief job is how to hand out welfare checks from the oil industry, then yes – Palin has more experience than Obama. If your criteria is who has more experience in intimidating subordinates – again, I have to give Palin points on that one. Not to mention getting around disclosing official commuincations by using your personal Yahoo account instead of the governor email account – again Palin will fit in just fine in DC.

Palin – “Don’t blink. Don’t think.”
