What Specific Accomplishments/Experience Does Palin Have?

All examples taken from her introduction to the nation tonight during her fantastic speech. I know, it may be hard to swallow for the devout cult followers of Obama. Too bad! As Gulliani said, Obama is the least experienced candidate in at least 100 years!:thumbsup:


So let's review.
1. governor of the great state of Alaska,
2. mayor of my hometown.
3. actual responsibilities. So you mean she couldn't just be "present" and still be considered doing her job. You mean she was accountable for what happened and did not have the luxury of being 1 of 100 people that "worked" on stuff! Oh!

You could stop right there as for experience, and argueably she has more executive experience than Obama or Biden for that matter. But let's go on.

4. I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau ... when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good ol' boys network.

5.
I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law.

Again, she was actually responsible for specific legislation with regard to this subject, NOT 1 OF 100 THAT VOTED YEA OR NAY! AND THEN CLAIMED ALL THE CREDIT! I believe this is called "governing".
6. by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
She has actually used the power of the veto whilst governing, and understands how to use it to get results!
7.
Our state budget is under control.
We have a surplus.
(Has Obama even run a small business? Let alone a city, or state, let alone budget any of them, and do it successfully? Um, no.)

8.And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes.

9. I suspended the state fuel tax,
10. and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
11. I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.
12.
And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources.
As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.
13.
I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history.
And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.

14. we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas.
And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: we've got lots of both.

Wow, guess there is a reason she is the most popular sitting govenor in the U.S. today. This is just the short list, and by the way, she is just the VP on the ticket, IMHO, her experience and accomplishments make Obama's pale in comparisson, and make it laughable that he is even running for president. I invite anyone to post a list of Obama's accomplishments and experience that qualify him for even a VP position, let alone the presidency. LMFAO ALL DAY LONG!!!:D

Yeah, I kind of figured that the Obamites wouldn't want to touch this with a ten foot pole. I am still waiting for someone to come on here and make the argument that she does not have enough experience, accomplishments to be selected as VP, oh wait this just in, the new liberal talking point has now shifted slightly, now it's that she was not properly "vetted". Oh, ok.:thumbsup:

I've asked this question several times.. some responses I get are

"I don't have time to write an essay."

or

"the information is out there.. look it up for yourself."..

Honestly I would say expect no one to pop in here or to expect some snide response.

Good post :hippy:

Yeah I kind of figured this wouldn't get much traction, but it is fun to give the religiously devout Obamites a place to post "specific" qualifications for his experience and "specific" accomplishments, and then have the thread just sit. That in itself is very telling, and says more than words ever could!:D

What did ya expect. Not only does McCain have more experience AND character but now his choice for V.P. has proven the same. Palin is down to earth and out of ALL the candidates seems to be more like the average U.S. citizen than the rest.

And what does Obama have? That same ol' pretty speech from "02" as described by Clinton. Oh yeah, styrofoam Roman pillars too; how enviromentally friendly is styrofoam?

Have a good one!:s4:

The media was orgasming over the fact that Obama had 37 million Americans watching his speech,
News Agencies are reporting the numbers from last night, Palin's speech.
37 million viewers in America were watching. I suspect somehow the same media that was drooling over Obama for 8,9,10 months now in wait for his speech, building it up, and then lavishing praise over it and the fact that it had such a large amount of viewers, will somehow dismiss, avoid, or simply not give any acknowledgement to how many were watching my wife, er I mean Sarah Palin last night!
So she has had 5 or 6 days in the spotlight and managed to draw the exact same number of viewer, whoa!:jointsmile:

8182KSKUSH: please say hi to your 'wife' for me, lol. :thumbsup:

I really love how the huffingtonpost.idiot is saying that even though she is the Commander and Chief of the Alaska National Guard, she doesn't command the troops outside of the Alaskan borders. Gee...no shit?

"Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, considers Palin "extremely responsive and smart" and says she is in charge when it comes to in-state services, such as emergencies and natural disasters where the National Guard is the first responder.

But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, he said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations."

Hmmm...Commanding the troops during a natural disaster or in-state emergencies. It does seem like this experience may just come in handy sometime. (hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, anarchist feeble attempts to disrupt...)
And Barrak Hussein Obama has how much experience in this matter...? How about OBiden? The answer was chanted loudly and proudly on the convention floor. "Zero, Zero, Zero..."

That may be true, but I'm not left-wing.
