Are there any other dems out there enjoying the hippocracy tonight?

Question

"Obama doesn't have the experience to lead the nation or be commander in chief" [but having a VP whose major experience is as mayor of a one-horse town in the middle of nowhere in one of the country's least populous states is an exception...totally relevant to commanding the US armed forces]

"People only support Obama because he's black" [but it's ok to pick a woman only because her gender might attract some female independents]

"Obama's 'portfolio' is too thin" [but I guess it's OK if there is no portfolio at all]

"Obama should have picked as VP the candidate that came in second" [but McCain doesn't have to].

"nobody even knows anything about Obama" [cricket, cricket]

And before the righties tee off on me, let me just say that I stand by my original assertion that experience isn't the most important thing, and that just because somebody is attractive or popular doesn't mean they aren't qualified....I'm just pointing out that when the shoe is on the other foot, your standards seem to change very quickly.

Answer 1

Don't you people have babies to kill, hard working peoples money to steal, terrorists to protect?  

Answer 2

Extremely hypocritical.  But you forgot the rest of her experience:  she used to help her husband fish.  And she came in second in the Miss Alaska beauty contest (Alaska has 648,000 men and 4 women and three of them did not compete in the contest).  

What is truly scary is that he's only met her once before.  He chose her even though she believes in teaching creationism in public schools,  endorsed an amendment to deny rights to g**s, fought putting polar bears on the endangered species list because it might discourage more oil drilling on the north slope, and is against abortion even in case of rape.  How in debt to the NRA and the radical religious right is the republican party?

Answer 3

I see the hypocrisy on both sides and it is a bit amusing in an ironic fatalistic things are never going to change sort of way.

Edit: Hey, show me "the change I can believe in" then I might actually believe until then Sen. Obama is no different then any other politician.

Answer 4

Repeat after me, Governor Palin

Media Creation, Senator Obama  

Answer 5

Liberal strike again. This is a half witted attempt at attacking John McCain, his voter base and the Republican party as a whole. We understand that you're threatened by the progress of the once labeled white man's party.

Answer 6

You Know It!

LOL , hypocrites!

Silly Republicans!

Answer 7

her voting record says yes or no not just present like some others afraid to make real choices

Answer 8

I am enjoying it, watch the clip below to see how hypocritical Karl Rove is and a second clip that shows how knowledgeable Sarah Palin is.

It is the usual Republican blather. Do exactly what you are accusing your opponent of doing and then act offended if it gets pointed out.

Answer 9

The typical GOP flip flops...

Answer 10

Yes, I having fun with it.

Did you know that McCain met Palin one time for 1/2 hour two months ago and never spoke to her again.  Not even to tell her she was the VP.  Sounds like Rove hand pick her also.  Would you say a McCain/Palin is a 3rd turn of Bush/Cheney.

Answer 11

Oh I am just LOVING this! We have it in the bag! It is so hard not to count the chickens before they hatch right now! I am so excited! Can't wait to vote for Obama!

Yeah first thing I said was Sarah who?

Answer 12

Palin is a Governor of a state that borders Russian waters. She commands the national guard, state police and deals with the state budget.

It is the largest U.S. state by area by a substantial margin, and one of the wealthiest per capita.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska

The Governor of Alaska is the head of the executive branch of Alaska's government and the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces. The governor has a duty to enforce state laws, and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Alaska Legislature, to convene the legislature, and to grant pardons, except in cases of impeachment.

Answer 13

Joe Biden said all that, and Obama still chose him as his running mate. What a guy.

Answer 14

Amen sister, well stated. You also could have added too little foreign policy, or hasn't been to Iraq in over a year.

Answer 15

So, let me see if I've got this right:

1 - It's okay to have a black Dem President who's so lightweight that he'll blow away if he's not wearing weighted shoes, and

2 - It's not okay to have a female Rep VP who's so lightweight that she'll blow away if she's not wearing weighted shoes.

You DO understand the meaning of the term "logical consistency", don't you? Good! Having established that, why not try exercising it for a change? You never know, it just might make you FEEL better. :-))

Answer 16

lol, you're my favorite person

Answer 17

McCain aide Jill Hazelbaker:

It is pretty audacious for the Obama campaign to say that Governor Palin is not qualified to be Vice President. She has a record of accomplishment that Senator Obama simply cannot match. Governor Palin has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska and actually achieving results -- whether it’s taking on corruption, passing ethics reform or stopping wasteful spending and the ‘bridge to nowhere.’ Senator Obama has spent his time in office running for President.  

Answer 18

She is going to be McCain's vice president...

She is not running for President like the Jr senator from Chicago. The fact is and still remains. Our pick for VP has more experience leading than Obama.

Call it hypocrisy all you want.. I call it the truth.

Answer 19

Actually, it's McCain you need to be comparing Obama to, not Palin and secondly...she has more on her resume (I'm speaking of results here) than Obama does.  Kinda sad really that so many people are backing someone as a potential president with no experience whatsoever.
