Playing the vagina card on me, LOL. I've watched enough of the news to know that alot of the DNC ladies feel like Clinton got screwed because of her gender. This type of hype will only add fuel to the fire.Quote:

By the way, I've been voting since "80" and my vote has gone to the republicans, democrats AND independents with Ross Perot. I was seriously HOPING that this election would be different but it's the same as always....what's the better of the evils presented.Quote:

Based soley on population, some could say that the smaller rich countries of the middle east have unexperienced leaders. Also, since Alaska is unique due to it's borders with Canada and Russia....I'm sure a bit of foriegn relations activities must go on accordingly.
She's a governor and therefore has executive experience, more than can be said about any of the other candidates to be honest. The only difference is that McCain and Biden know more about the internal workings of Washington and Obama has knowledge of Chicago politics. Who is least fitted for the number 1 or 2 spot based on "experience"?
Have a good one!:s4:
Well, I do assume that you're a republican, at least lately, and I really only pointed out the whole laughing thing because a bunch of people I know lately like to laugh me off when I try to make a serious point to them. It's just something that gets on my nerves.Quote:

The only thing that stuck out to me was this:
I'm sure that John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, and Gerald Ford would disagree. :jointsmile: Most of which either chose not to seek another term or were simply not elected again. Sounds like more consideration should go into choosing VP's afterall. :stoned:Quote:

Both parties would be represented in the Oval office and they can hash out their differences man to man/woman to woman. Parties make no sense anyway. Just another way to divide and conquer the masses. Anyone ever read The Art of War by Sun Tzu? Textbook war tactic.
Maybe if these opposing party candidates spent some good quality time together... while they will disagree on things... potentially they will find common ground. Hopefully then we can stop caring about what they had for dinner last night or what stickers they do or don't wear... and move on to how we are going to save this world from utter destruction and chaos.
Its not a big deal. Girls get pregnant at this age all the time. Its nice to see once in a while that the rich spoiled kids have the same problems us poor folks do. I do hate to see the added pressure this kind of family puts on the girl though to get married.
Republicans are traditionally anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, and anti-medical marijuana. Things that I'll NEVER agree with. At this point I feel that they hold to my beliefs in foreign affairs, drilling, and taxes to name a few of my "most important" issues.Quote:

If anything, she seems to have a normal U.S. family with the situation her daughter is now in. I'm sure that 90% of the members in here have family members that were or are in the same boat.
I guess when your in love with Obama anything goes. Hell, Bill Maher even stated that the crew at MSNBC sounds like they want to have sex with Obama. I'm not a fan of Bill but I found it to be an accurate statement.
Well, gotta go. Even at 46 ma still makes up chocolate chip cookies for me and well, that takes presidence over this debate. LOL:thumbsup:

You seem to misunderstand. Historically the role/position of VP has not been one of great responsibility or burden. Meaning the responsibilites of the office itself is not of critical importance (with the exception of taking over as president in the instance of death in the office), especially trying to use the argument of 'experience' when comparing a presidential Candidate, Barack Obama, to a vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. I was never saying that it wasn't important as a political tool in order to get into office. That is a completely different matter.Quote:

People talk about what if McCain dies.. we'll have someone inexperienced in the office. Well guess what, Democrats are choosing to put someone who's not fit for office out there from the start.
I hate when people try to bring up her experience. The leftists are like "OH yeah.... well what about her?" as if to justify their poor choice for a candidate. It's frustratingly annoying because it is not the same thing. They are comparing apples to oranges making their argument weak and incorrect.
As the french would say, le sigh.
I'm right there with you. I think it is rediculous that someone would argue:
"Hey... you don't know what you're doing!"
"Yeah... well... neither do you gramps! And that other lady isn't really ready either!"
"Yeah... well... your logo is weird!"
"Yeah... well... your old!"
"You're name is scary!"
"Well... YOU'RE OLD!"
"You re-painted your plane!"
"You own a bunch of real estate!"
"You have cooties!"
:wtf:
Although, I feel that the only way to become "experienced," is to actually experience it... so, to me, it is somewhat pointless to argue one way or the other. NONE of the parties involved have ever been U.S. President. So we should just agree that they are all equally clueless. Not saying that they can't do well... just that they technically ALL have zero experience at being President. Past history in politics will obviously help out... but just because you have a history of being involved in competitive sports doesn't mean you are ready for the Big Game. :jointsmile:
Basically... we've got two different sets of virgin hands that are supposed to clean up possibly the biggest pile of sloppy shit we have ever sniffed. It's going to take some pretty special people to eradicate this country of the stink we have currently. Unfortunately, I don't think that special person is running for office this year. ;)
Can somebody say Ron Paul?
Haha I can...
