I don't speak gibberish. You'll have to translate for me.

I don't know why I should have to explain it to you. But there wasn't a question posed to you when you responded with something Palinesque stupid. And then when I asked you about it, you supported your stupid Palinesque response by saying you were just avoiding the question.

All I got from you so far is....BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

Palin is more experienced than Obama. Why are you letting experience of the VP affect your decision when you're siding with a candidate who pretty much has displayed only his intentions for running for presidency while in office thus far.

Yuking it up again... Right after watching what the mayor of Wasilla's responsibilities are and the way Palin conducts herself, I don't think in good conscience you should keep repeating that lie.

I saw Sanjay Gupta, a doctor who was one of those invited to see McCain's records and he said it was a farce. They were allowed to look at those 1200 pages but there was a lot of stuff missing and blacked out, they weren't allowed to copy any of it, and the 1200 pages were left intentionally without page numbers, so they couldn't reference anything. he said it left more questions than answers for the doctors.

 

That said, I think Obama should have released a lot more info. One page isn't enough.

 

EDIT: This was some of what Gupta said:

""We were given three hours to go over 1,200 pages of records. That is a lot to go through. It was very sort of cloak and dagger and I'm sure they had their reasons. Given that I had my medical training, I was able to hone in on what it thought was important more quickly. But the pages weren't numbered, so I had no way of knowing what was missing... As a reporter I can only comment on what I saw but I can't say by any means that this was complete... As far as the secretiveness of it, what they said to us is that you can't take anything out of the room, but you could make notes. So it was a lot to go through in a short period of time."

Typical Republican smoke screen, kinda like the evidence they put forth about the weapons of mass destruction... Same kind of tactic from what our intelligence guy told us. I wouldn't believe much coming out of either side right now and until election day. If either told me the sky was blue, I would go verify it more than once.

Obama is running for the Presidency and I'm able to compare his experience and leadership with the VP candidate across the table.

 

Wake up and smell the hot coffee. That's a sign bad enough to indicate that Obama's experience is lacking.

 

Being a State Legislator is all well and good...if you're intention is to be a house of representative of course...

 

...oh wait, that was his goal. And in 2000 he lost a bid in the Democratic Primaries for a House spot.

 

In 2000 Obama was losing in the primaries for a seat in the house, and McCain was losing in the primaries for the President of the United States with 13 years of Senatorial work behind him already.

 

I'm not saying experience is really all that important...but please refrain from pretending that Obama is experienced. And I'm sure you'll say that he is more experienced than Palin and that was your claim, but to that, I'll say I guess my point is proven...That you need to compare Obama to the VP candidate in order to express how experienced he is. Next you'll say something like...experience means nothing, and thus goes on the cycle of ignorance and retorts that is the liberal basis for hope and change or whatever nonsense you're all parading about now.

I do believe as a law professor and legislator Obama is more experienced than Palin.... That being said, the fact that none of that has stopped the Republicans from repeating the lie and that I agree is a problem. Because the GOP values any executive experience as somehow more valuable as a qualification for the Presidency they try to get away with it. That being said, what of McCain's recent executive experience... NADA. Serving in the United States Senate for roughly 27 years if my math is correct is, is not executive experience... political yes, not executive. His record and personal records that he has released for more than a few hours show him to be petulant and tempestuous and that doesn't seem to have changed since he went through adolescence.

 

Great campaign tactic on the Republican's side, but that is all it is and it becomes more and more disingenuous the more they repeat it.

I'm happy you responded the way you did. You sound upset that people keep using experience as a campaign tactic. Too bad that's one of history's longest tactics. And personally if Obama's lack of experience shies people away from him that seems more valid and legitimate to me than when people stay clear of McCain because he's republican.

Why don't you just come out and say you are not going to vote for McCain because he picked a WOMAN for his VP? Don't feed me this BS about she is so terrible. That is a crock of sh-- and you know it.

 

If you don't vote for Obama your a racist. If you don't vote for McCain, your a sexist!

 

I hope, for your own sake, that this is tongue in cheek. If a candidate is not even smart enough to PRETEND that they know a single periodical (honestly, she couldn't even bullsh*t an answer and say she read Newsweek or the Wall Street Journal or anything), I don't care if that person is a woman, man, hermaphrodite, or what have you...I am NOT potentially making that person the most powerful person in the world.
