More conservative non sense from the moronic masses themselves
It''s not nonsense, it's factual information that YOU provided. Granted, I won't argue that you are a member of the moronic masses but I doubt you are conservative.
You take what i said and twist it and omit what you dont like, to make a picture that suits your ignorant agenda.
I didn't twist anything. I simply cut and pasted your reply in which you pointed out Obama has 11 years experience, and Palin 12 years experience.
And I have no agenda, ignorant or otherwise. I simply raised the issue of whether or not Palin's experience is comparable to Barry O.s' And I thank you for pointing out that Palin actually has MORE experience than Barry O.
Congratulations - you still bathe in slimey, dirty, filthy ignorance.
And you enjoy it
Atleast you're good at something
I believe you have mistaken me for somebody else. I do not bathe in ignorance. I think you might have accused me of the same thing when I pointed out that James Johnson, the man chosen by Obama to vet his VP, was actually a member of the Bilderberg group.
And what do you know... it turned out to be true, and it also turned out that Obama's VP candidate, Joe Biden, is a deeply connected Washington insider as there is. And after all the talk by Obama about not being involved with special interests he picks a VP candidate tied to lobbyists.
If you want to label somebody as slimey, filthy, or dirty you might want to begin with Biden and Barry O.
Bottom line, Palin has more experience than Obama.
McCain has 23 years in the Navy and 25 years as a Senator, which is more experience than Obama and Biden combined.

Obama uses his senate office as a platform for his campaign. He has no governing experience. He hardly even has legislative experience.
by your own ignorant standards - you say telling us that McCain is as well incompetent and ineligible to run for POTUS
I mean really man, do you not think things through before you post??

The fact is that, by bringing Palin onto the ticket, the American people are now turned off to their "inexperience" argument because, whether you think she is more or less experienced than Obama, pessimistically it is by a small margin either way.
It is irresponsible to place someone as unproven at the national level as Palin so inevitably close to the top spot.

One thing I cab say that is very attractive about Obamas economic plan is that there
are massive tax incentives to reward companies who keep the work here. ( I can post it if you'd like )
Obama' lack of experience will make him the lackey of Pelosi and Reid. We will all be screwed if those 2 have free reign of the government.
Pelosi is an air-head. Having Obama and a Liberal Congress managing the US would be disaster.

I think we're done with Reps for a while, my friend. Whether Pelosi is an airhead (and there's truth to that), it's time for a new set of airheads in the White House.

She's not vetted nationally. No one knows her, and we are 3 months from electing the President of the United States. How could this possibly me a genius pick? Admit it, it's an act to shake up an otherwise stagnant and futile presidential bid. I'd be saying the same thing if Obama were Republican.

Obama wants to keep companies here but yet he doesn't want to drill oil domestically?
Obama can say whatever he likes but his party is making it expensive and impossible to run a business domestically. Areas controlled by democrats are usually higher taxed than other areas. These higher taxed areas also have higher fees, higher utility prices, and more regulations that are expensive to comply with. This is the party line of the democrats, this is how they run things. There is a reason why California is more expensive than Arizona.
How will Obama spur the economy? Is he going to go against his own party? He voted with them 97% of the time I doubt he will change that.

First, Palin is an outstanding candidate and person in her own right. She is not going to lose a debate with Biden.
Biden can't win. He will be expected to crush her and anything less will cause Palin's stock to soar.
With Bush having a 30% approval rating, a Dem candidate should be running away in the polls right now. But Obama is falling in the polls.
Third, do not forget the country is conservative.
Palin has an 80% or 90% approval rating in Alaska.
Plus, she'll help peel off enough women to put McCain over the top.
Her only "negative" is inexperience which cannot be brought up without shining the same light on Obama's inexperience. It's really a brilliant strategy. This is why the Obama camp changed their tune within minutes today.
and Further decrease the capital gains tax to 15%.
Guess what that does, it encourges investors to no longer invest in American businesses. The Stock Market is the backbone to our economy, you destroy it, you take down our economy bigtime.
Investors are not investing, and business are not creating jobs. This Trickle Down stufff doesn't work

You don't get economics then Mental. Decreasing the Captal Gains tax has been proven successful for huge economic growth by three previous Presidents who did just this. They were Kennedy, Reagan and Clinton.
Obama wants to do the opposite of what history has proven otherwise in terms of economic growth. He wants to nearly double the Capital Gains tax!!
Guess what that does, it encourges investors to no longer invest in American businesses. The Stock Market is the backbone to our economy, you destroy it, you take down our economy bigtime.
When wealthy investors do not invest in our economy, everyone suffers.
I guess Obama's goal is to destroy America's wealth and success, this would be a big start.
We won't even get into the AMT (Annual Minimum Tax) which Obama wants to nearly double as well.
