That's ridiculous. He's traveled abroad, met with world leaders. He's actually had to think about foreign policy, and take positions on foreign policy issues. Here's what Palin said: "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq." Is it? Other...

Have you seen this interview? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pak-rH0dCeA A couple of things struck me...... One.....she's shaking her head "no" while she's saying she welcomes the investigation......classic sign of deception..... Two....her statement at about 3:05.....exactly what does th...

But why are people spending so much time comparing Obama to Palin? He's the candidate for President, she for VP. We should be comparing Obama's experience to McCain's, and Biden's to Palin's. Or at least ticket to ticket. But to compare POTUS candidate to VP candidate doesn't make a whole lot of se...

So he was the European Relations chairman. If our relations with europe are so bad why no hearings? and yes I am saying he has the same foreign relations as Palin...none. That's ridiculous. He's traveled abroad, met with world leaders. He's actually had to think about foreign policy, and take posit...

For starters, how about Obama has sat on the Senate Foreign Relations committee the past 4 years. What foreign policy experience does Sarah Palin have? Obama selected Biden to fill his lack of experience in foreign affairs hole in his resume. Not Much sure it is a biased Faux News article but they ...

Saw an interesting blurb tonight from an August 10, 2008 TV interview, from an astute observer who was handicapping the Democratic VP field: “With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really nam...

Maybe I've been living under a rock or in the basement of my ex-girlfriend's outhouse, but hasn't Sarah Palin been running a STATE for the last couple years? A state that produces 20% of our nation's energy? I won't even bring up the fact that she took on the corrupt republican establishment in tha...

Do you have to have military experience? Good point. The Democrats thought it was important to have military experience 4 years ago when Kerry ran against Bush. I don't recall hearing any Democrats talking about the importance of military experience this year. I wonder why. I supported Kerry becaus...

What has Obama accomplished? What legislation, if any, has he sponsored that's become law? He's been in the Senate for 4 years and he spent pretty much all of the last 2 years running for President instead of being a senator. And as much as he talks about change and ending the partisan politics in ...

Wow. A VP who has every man in the country saying, "I'd hit it." Y'all really do think with your willies. Sounds like she went to the Lynn Spears school of parenting, if you ask me. There's a certain irony in the fact that many of the same people who crucified Lynne Spears are such staunc...

Nobody thinks Obama is ready to be president. They just want change. 20 of the last 28 years have had republican presidents and I think things are going pretty well. Nobody has been able to tell me how Obama is qualified. He sure can talk and promise lots of things that will never come true. As far...

The campaign has said she has been vetted from the very beggining and was a front runner from the beginnning. Choosing Lieberman would have cost him the election for sure. Now the conservative base is energised to actually work for him. The vetting comment is sounding untrue. It was reported this m...

Like I said before, if Obama is elected, he'll likely have an even bigger majority in both the House and Senate, so it will be much easier for Obama to get his ideas passed then anything McCain is pushing if he were to get elected. As for new ideas, changing our economic system from trickle down to...

If you don't understand what he wants to change, then I think you just don't want to hear it. If you'd like to learn more, I'd encourage you to visit Obama's website... www.barackobama.com , where he lays everything out. Oh, I understand alright.. and I've heard it. I have just heard 'promises of c...

You could end up being right. He certainly offers new ideas though, and changes from the last 8 years. And with a likely increased majority in the House and Senate, it's likely that Obama would be able to deliver on many of his promises (I bet that scares some of you :lol: ) I'm curious...what are ...

Obama is NOT unpatrotic. I just do not agree with his plan for America I think I saw an American flag pin on his lapel last night. Wonder where he lost it? He made a good point in his speech last night that when you have no new ideas to present and no positive record to stand on you use fear and at...

Re: Dumb answer

That was a dumb answer. So was McCain's when asked how many houses he owns. I admire these people for having the courage to run for President, I don't think the perks come even close to the costs of the job. However, why can't we get really good, highly qualified people to run? Say Jack Welch, Erik...
