What's up with Republicans and Conservatives? Every time they are pressed on whether Palin is experienced enough to function as President should the need arise, they frequently frame their response by stating that she is far more experienced than Obama. But that isn't the point, is it?
The McCain position has always been that Obama was not ready to lead the country. Now they are consistently making the argument that Palin IS ready (should she need to be) by highlighting that she has more experience than Obama. So their argument is now: Obama had zero qualifications, and Palin has more than zero, therefore she is ready. What? That makes no sense at all.
If their entire argument was that Obama never had the experience in the first place, you can't use him as a reference point for how much experience one needs to run the country.
Now, there argument does work if they were to admit Obama does have enough experience. Then they could say: Obama has just barely enough, but Palin has far more.
Let's frame this mathematically:
A person should have X amount of experience to run the country.
Obama has (X - 10) experience: he is 10 points away from being experienced enough to run the country.
Palin is greater than Obama, or: Palin > (x-10).
However, this does not prove that:
Palin >(x-10) is equivalent to Palin = X. After all, Palin could be (x-5) and (x-5) does not equal X.
Since Republicans/Conservatives don't truly believe Palin = X, they only frame their argument that Palin > (x-10).
Once again, proof Conservatives/Republicans don't think things through.
