STEPHANOPOULOS: But she has no national security experience.
McCAIN: You know, the experience that she comes from is what she’s done in government, and remember, Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. It’s not as if she doesn’t understand what’s at stake here.

Alaska is the only state which shares only borders with foreign nations.

People all over are making fun of Steve Doocy and Cindy McCain for saying this. And you agree with them?
Hey, I can see into Mexico from where I stand. I have foreign policy experience!

First of all, look who is saying this.... She's so fake it freaks me out to look at her.
Yes, she was absolutely 100% correct. For someone to try to claim that Palin doesn't have that experience - well - that's rather shortsighted or just wishful thinking. She has more executive experience and more substantial international experience then Obama. She's more qualified to be POTUS then Obama as well.

Oh, I see what she means been so close to Russia's borders make it easier to swap cookie recipes with the Russian's matrons.
Yes that could be the best experience for Palin after all.
It is big joke actually.

Palin has as much foriegn relations experience as the average American.
She's probably visited a few times and mingled a lot
thats about it.
To suggest that the Gov. of Alaska has ties with Russia is simply hysterical
its beyond a stretch
its a pathetically desperate attempt to find SOMETHING good about the woman
nothing good exists
so?
Lets do the typical conservative argument
make *snip* up
stupid people will believe it (and unfortunately....most of them do )

Guess what Obama wants to do with China and Russia? Give them even more money and continue with the current trade policies!!
