And the search for dirt on Sarah Palin begins

Again for the 1000th time, no one is faulting her for her lack of experience in politics.

It's the fact that her resume is completely devoid of anything meaningful except being governor for 20 months. She has done nothing else of note.

Being part-time Mayor of a town of 5k is hardly worth mentioning. We are talking about potentially holding the highest office in our country and she has a one line resume. What other occupation can you have where your entire qualifications consist of a position you held for 20 months can you expect to get hired?

Obama served 7 yrs as a state senator, 12 yrs as a law professor, and has been a U.S. Senator for 4 yrs and that's been compared unfavorably to 20 months as a governor of a state with a population of 600k? Obama was state senator from a city of 3 million. It is obviously political bias. It didn't matter who McCain picked, the same people in this forum would have been supportive, the truth is the only thing most of you looked at is she is a Republican. Compare her resume to Romney's.

why do you persist in comparing Palin with Obama? Obama's resume is impressive, but none of it would make him qualified to be the CEO of Ford Motor Company.

Palin at least has experience as a chief executive, whether it's of a small town or of a sparsely populated state.

Her other accomplishments include being a mother of 5, small business owner, athlete, and civil aviator.

All this handwringing you Obama supporters are engaging is clear evidence that Palin worries you. Obama's choice of that smarmy idiot, Biden over HRC is bothering you and so rather than lash out at your personal Jesus, you settle on the most convenient target.

Would you rather we compare her to Biden? It won't be any more favorable.

People on this forum who apparently vote Republican regardless of who the candidate is, make it impossible to criticize her lack of qualifications without comparing her background to Obama.

So basicly being Mayor of Crossville, Tennesee would make someone more qualified then a State Senator? No wait, Crossville has a population of 9k.

The obvious bias is making it pointless to even discuss her. She's not been Governor for 2 years and is already under an ethics investigation and she gets selected as VP?

DENVER— A state ethics probe that was launched just a few weeks ago is already drawing attention in the opening moments of her debut as the Republican vice presidential pick is Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
An independent investigator appointed by a panel of state legislators earlier this month is looking into whether Ms. Palin dismissed a top law enforcement official in her administration because he failed to fire a state trooper, Mike Wooten, who went through a messy divorce with Ms. Palin’s sister.
The investigation follows on the heels of Ms. Palin’s abrupt decision in mid-July to dismiss Walt Monegan, her Public Safety Commissioner. Ms. Palin said she wanted to take the department in a different direction, but questions emerged after Mr. Monegan said he felt pressured to fire Mr. Wooten.

No no, keep comparing her to Obama. It says much. You attack her credentials in regards to being POTUS and try to show how Obama is so much more qualified. The problem is, no one outside of the Obamists is buying it. That is what is laughable. It is a close call on the experience level between her and Obama and he is running for PRESIDENT. What moron would criticize her lack of experience and then turn around and vote for Obama?

Saw a 5 minute clip of an interview of Palin on CNBC last night. Not sure when it was done, but I liked it. She kept referring to the resources of the state as the resources of the Alaskans. Wow. Imagine that, some common sense. The oil and other resources belong to people of Alaska, not someone in DC. The only flaw I see in her so far is these union associations. But oh well, can't be perfect and that might even draw in some Ds to the McCain side.

I'll concede that she lacks a significant resume, but denigrating her inexperience and then comparing it to the guy on the top of the other ticket just makes no sense to me.

That's a nice generalization for you to make in your head, but I would bet that for most of us that's not true. A pick of a lefty Republican or Joe Lieberman would have made me think twice about my support.

I hear a lot about political experience. Well truth be told, that just boils down to same old BS we've already got. Maybe it's time for fresh faces, new ideas. Maybe it's time for old-school values instead of politically correct nonsense. We bash Obama for lack of experience and it's a valid argument. This guy is up for election to lead the USA. Personally I think he's somebody's puppet but that's a different matter. Point is, Palin's lack of experience at this point doesn't matter. She would be the VP. Yeah I know, McCain is old, he could kick at any minute. Ever think that since Obama is black he might be a target of some dumb redneck just for that reason? Odds are against either of them finishing a term as POTUS. So then it goes to Biden vs Palin. Throw out the experience factor here for a minute and listen to their ideas. Pay attention to what each has done, not for how long. Biden is simply a tax and spend liberal, Palin is old school conservative. I personally think we NEED some old school values in the USA. Bring back doing what is best for the most people instead of doing what doesn't offend somebody. As for the baby being hers or how and where she chose to deliver it, seems like you liberals should be supportive of the woman's right to choose.

The whole Muslim thing was pretty stupid, but IMO this really goes a step further since it involves kids. Daily Kos is a nutjob organization, so that story doesn't surprise me, but Alan Colmes is better than this.

I agree with you here. Going after the kids is outside the lines, but it's not like it hasn't happened before. This is why I don't understand how people can become politicians anymore (and why I argue they are an unbelievably narcissistic group) - the country puts you and your family under the microscope and exposes all your faults for the world to analyze and judge. I wouldn't ever want to do that to my family.

Back to the thread though -- there are simply idiots on each side that conjure up ridiculous stories that do nothing but hurt the political process.

Can't trust anything these days.

I'm just really hoping they find some old nude photos of her. That might be the only dirt I can stand...

Uh, that was Hillary's camp that leaked the photo of him in the Muslim garb.

FOX News just reported that her 17yo daughter is pregnant.

EDIT: CNN confirms and reports that she will mary the father.

If I'm a democrat, how would you explain that I voted George W. Bush twice?

I'm just don't pretend that he hasn't been a terrible President for the country. I've seen enough of what the Republican have done when they had a majority in the Congress and the White House to reconsider voting Republican.

All the major bad decisions Bush has made as President, McCain has supported, and his choice of VP, was so overtly political, thinking that democrats who voted for Hilliary would simply vote Replubican if he nominated a woman is sad. He's 72 yrs old, and has had cancer twice, he needed a competent running mate.

I did not call you a Dem, what I said was that you are showing extreme bias for the Dems.
Your latest post makes my point.
Where would we be if Algore or JK were in office. It is my opinion that you are buying the Messiah hipe. Which is your right to do, just do not agree with you.

If I grant you that Bush has been a bad President (which I don't believe is the case, but I'll humor you), how do you justify the 180 degree switch in order to vote for a neo-socialist like Obama?

You like to point to Obama's education as evidence he's ready, yet his reaction to Russia's invasion of Georgia went through three different iterations before he finally figured things out.

Unsubstantiated. Though Obama's camp blamed Clinton's camp it was denied. Mind you, the pic first showed up on the Drudge Report. Regardless, many ultra-conservative outlets ran with this picture and idea for quite some time.
