Mccain and Palin??? that's just nuts to having a running mate who is new to the real politics!!!?

Question

she was mayor and now a gov only for the past two years???? what is wrong here???? and they say Obama is too young..h**l no!

Answer 1

Nuts or brilliant? I think "change" just may be someone who is just like all the rest of us and not corrupted or bought by Washingtons elite.

Answer 2

Think McCain just cut his own throat - picking a person who has even less experience than Obama, by allot and he being 72 years old.

Those up coming debates should be real interesting - Biden verses Palin, won't even be fair.  

Answer 3

Wow Wow Wow.  All the Obama girls are soooooo jealous of Palin.

She's hot, I know.  Not some pruny old matron like the Hildebeast. Right? Obama's 143 days in government were fine before as experience now look. NO no no now you want experience.  Nah, you want some fat old geezer so you look better.  All you bouy butted broads are green with envy because all your tired old husbands and distracted boy friends are goin':

  'Whoa check this babe out, smart, athletic, a point guard can handle a harley and a snow mobile, doesn't have thighs bigger than the Harley, in government office, can handle a gun without help Oh yeah, I like, got my vote.'  All you dolts who jump up on the toilet every time you see a spider are scared to death of this chick.

Answer 4

Obama ran a civic activist group for a number of years... How does that qualify him?

Palin was a mayor, and a governor. both those posts are executive positions, where she is the last and ultimately top person to make decisions.

Sitting in a committee of twelve does not a leader make, as we see with Obama.

Answer 5

Sarah Palin is no stranger to the "maverick" label often assigned to Sen. John McCain, Alaska's youngest and first female governor has pushed for ethics investigations of fellow Republicans in her state and bucked the powerful oil industry on a major natural gas pipeline project.

When she ran for governor in 2006, she ran as an outsider and an agent for change. But she's also an anti-abortion, pro-gun fiscal conservative — something sure to please the Republican base.

As governor, Palin says she's tried to instill public confidence in the government of a state that's been shaken by political scandals. She won't invite lobbyists to her office and has introduced ethics reform legislation. One of her first acts as governor was to kill the now infamous "bridge to nowhere" pork-barrel spending project. And she put the former governor's personal jet up for sale on eBay.

Sounds like more than a pretty face as you sexist libs keep trying to paint her.

Answer 6

What has Obama ever ran, except for President?

Answer 7

She ran an entire state for 2 years.  Obama pushed the present button while voting for 143 days.  Are you that stupid?

Decision making being a governor doesn't get anymore into real politics.

Answer 8

Palin is the very worst kind of woman.  One who has emulated violence and ignorance in order the be "one of the boys" and give every nascar lovin', Rush Limbaugh listening cave man a hard on.   No matter how you red sheep try to SPIN this....it is an insult to place her so close to our highest office.  USE your brains...that's that lumpy thing two feet above your ignorant asses.    

Answer 9

She has 11 years of experience, Obama has around 11 years experience. She has executive experience and is only running for VP.

Obama has equal experience and running for POTUS. Now that's just nuts. The experience argument is one Dems are going to lose

Answer 10

I love this pick, The Inexperienced game could be very tricky since Palin has more experience than obama. She has govern a state which Obama has not.  

Answer 11

The democratic party has a candidate who is "new to the real politics".

You folks certainly have changed from your stance yesterday that experience didn't matter.

Ethics violation, what a laugh.  "How dare she not let state troopers shoot their children with tasers and make death threats against citizens?!!!!" said the leftist.

Answer 12

She has been in the political scene in Alaska for several years. She actually got there through create actually change in government and not just talking about it.  

Answer 13

Obama is in his 40"s...

I have no clue why ppl say thats old..

Its about time we get a fresh young president who can relate more to young america...

Answer 14

LOL.  Get a clue.  She has more experience than Obama.

When did experience become so important to you anyway.  Yesterday, it was irrelevant

Answer 15

She did a couple of terms as Lt Governor too.

I just watched an interview, she is sharper than any of the rest of them. We are talking cranial hyper-drive. Wow!

Answer 16

ROFLAMO PLEASE KEEP POSTING i need more comic relief! how many working days has obama has, AND YOU NUMB NUTS WANT HIM IN THE NUMBER ONE SPOT!

SHES DONE MORE and ACCOMPLISHED MORE! LOL and not even running for the Number one spot!

MY GOD YAll are sad!

Answer 17

New to politics!!!

She has more political experience managing government than Obama!

My god!!  Im going to die laughing today.

Answer 18

You mean like Obama? He has what 150 days actual service as a US Senator??? Or Like Bill Clinton with ZERO national experience when he was elected

"Barack Obama has more experience in his pinky finger than Sarah Palin does in her entire beauty queen body. Barack Obama was a Community Organizer."  

ROFLMAO that and 50 cents will get you the daily news paper

Answer 19

lets see.  obama was a senator for 143 days and voted "present 130 times. what is wrong with that picture. the whole time obama was running around with ayers, wright, rezko and phlager, she was running a state.

Answer 20

The real politics?  Did Obama forget Biden is a bigot?

Answer 21

Yeah, and Obama has a long record in politics. Take out his years in tight with Mayor Daly and the weatherman and what do you have? I would take McCains experience and her's over the big "O's" anyday. Who wouldn't?

Answer 22

Mayor of some shithole town in Alaska? Hokey mom and Bachelor of Science in Journalism? Right wing christian nutbag? Are most of you on yahoo imbecile douchebags? You are the people that make sensible people ashamed to be Americans. Wake up and smell the new paradigm a******s.  

Answer 23

Mayor of a town with pop of 10,000 maybe!

that doesn't count as experience, why not put 'student council' down for her

Answer 24

Wow she's not new to politics, she was a mayor, a LT Gov 4 years and now Gov for the last 2 years.  She has executive experience, and Obama has none.  Regan was a governor..... then president.  Get over Obama supporters your panties are just all in a bunch because McCain made a great decision.  The fact that she just happens to be a woman is the only reason you are complaining, if she were a man you wouldn't say crud.  Get over it, she's a great pick!

Answer 25

Its not a matter of age...its a matter of experience, and Obama doesn't have much either - and he's trying to be president, not VP!

Answer 26

She voted to have creationism taught in schools. She has an ethics investigation with a mere two years in office, She is anti-abortion. She was voted Miss Congeniality… and 16 years ago she was serving on the Wasilla City Council, population 8,471. Yeah I can see how Hilary voters would jump right on board with that. She is TOTALLY qualified to run the country. Maybe she can have a bake sale to get rid of our 9.5 Trillion dollar deficit. This is about oil. Drilling in Alaska, It’s about distracting Republicans about the tolls of the War in Iraq and garnering support by focusing on hot button issues like abortion as opposed to getting out of Iraq and addressing the unemployment and mortgage crisis.

Answer 27

I thought Obama was supposed to be about change, but he picked the biggest of washington insiders.

Answer 28

First off, what is real politics? Is that what you liberals call whining?

And second, choosing Palin is a bold and innovative choice, she has led the state to prosperty and has 80% approval rating in Alaska. She has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined and she isnt a empty suit like Obama or a washington insider like biden.  

Answer 29

That is too funny.   If there ever was a case of the "pot calling the kettle black" this is it.  Obama lacks experience, but we are supposed to overlook that, yet we are to be critical about the inexperience of the GOP #2 on the ticket????  Hello, she is running for VP, not President!

And governor of a state is MUCH more day-to-day actual experience doing something than being a Senator who immediately starts running for President and doesn't even show up to vote the majority of the time!!!  You really can't have it both ways.

But I bet some of the die-hard Hilaryites are giving this ticket a second look!!

Answer 30

Is he joking?? Do they think they can just throw any random woman on the ticket and that's supposed to attract women voters?!? This "Hockey mom" is supposed to step in and become leader of the free world? Are you joking?!?  Obama knows how to handle himself w/ world leaders - he's made that clear. He knows how to run a campaign, which is more than I can say for McCain or Hillary Clinton w/ all their so called "experience."  This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen this campaign season! Unbelievable!

Answer 31

Obama was only a mere senator for 3 freakin'  years - and missed a great many votes!!   Palin is experienced - and has alot more brains and sense than Obama could ever hope to have!!    If you do your homework on Palin, I think you'll see her in a totally different light!

She had the decency, dignity and integrity to say positive things about Hillary, regardless of her personal feelings and party - can't say that about Biden and Obama, who no sooner get on the podium and right away, they're bad-mouthing their opponent -same old liberal rhetoric from them, which only proves they DON'T have dignity or integrity or tact like Palin does!!  She has much more experience behind her than Obama - and she's got more sense and dignity than Obama and Biden put together!

As the other poster said, experience didn't matter before - until now when Palin was chosen as McCain's Veep!
