Have you ever heard anyone make so much out of a 2 year governor?

Question

Republicans are acting like someone would be crazy to question a two year governor from a small state?

jimmy carter had more experience... Bush had more experience...

this is not some mythical "third rail" of political discussion, as Republicans seem to magically all of a sudden today think it is...

I actually saw someone say "how dare" people question her... hahaha... like it's unthinkable...

is this the new Republican strategy... pretend like they are above question and hope everyone just buys it?

99 percent of people didn't know her name yesterday... I think that means we can question her a little...

Answer 1

I just think it's funny that she has more experience being the executive head that Obama has being the executive anything.  It's also funny how Dems have shifted that whole "not experienced enough" card to the Rep VP candidate when they should be worried about their Presidential candidate instead.  Our Pres candidate has plenty of experience at least .. and he's the one that's going to be calling the shots :)

Answer 2

I know! The wacky far-left wingnuts have gone totally overboard (again!) on this one, haven't they?

Answer 3

I am not focused so much on the experience issue as I am on the fact that I disagree with her on almost every important issue.

Answer 4

She's only there so McCain has a cheap date while Cindy's not around

Answer 5

Choosing someone with so little experience would be bad enough - but doing it after criticizing your opponent for lack of experience is the epitome of hypocrisy.  Also hypocritical for running an ad saying Hillary should have been chosen because she came in second - then not picking the second place finisher in your own party.

Worst of all though is choosing someone whose positions are so outside of mainstream America (advocating teaching creationism, supporting an amendment to deny rights to g*y couples).  Has the republican party sold out entirely to the NRA and right-wing religious nuts?

Answer 6

Right on !

Answer 7

Yes we watched for months,almost a year while the Dems did it with Obama .  

Answer 8

It just shows that they're hypocrites. If you're main attack is gonna be 'he's inexperienced', and your about to make 72 pick someone with EXPERIENCE. I'm sure there were other women he could've found if he wanted the women's vote, maybe someone with experience. But that's just politics and it's only better for Obama.

At least Obama has Joe Biden to help him out with foregin policy but McCain can't use that lame argument any more.

Answer 9

they still haven't elaborated on exactly 'what' she has

accomplished with her executive experience because

they probably don't know yet

..but neither do i

Answer 10

The Senate moves at a snails pace. They have still not taken up the issue of eminent domain after a year. Former Sen. Hiakawa of Ca. used to fall asleep during Senate sessions. Mayors and Governors are constantly making snap decisions to keep the daily operations of their cities and States running. Why do you think Congress has a nine percent approval rating. I was a public official for 30 years and know what it takes to keep state and local government running. Obama has been absent all but 143 days of his three years in the Senate. Congress is on a five week vacation. Texas is the only State that I know of that the State government meets only six months out of the year. State business requires decisions from the Governor everyday.
