"Two months" is sixty days. It doesn't matter how long Palin's been going, she doesn't have "enough" experience, and so McCain is a hypocrite for choosing Palin and is likely pandering to female voters... he certainly appears that way. The fact that he looks like a hypocrite doesn't change, when he bashed Obama's "inexperience" while choosing someone who may be more experienced than Obama, but is also not very experienced overall. Other potential candidates were more experienced then Palin, e.g. Mitt Romney, who was Governor of Massachusetts for four years... and yet, he goes off and chooses a largely unknown woman who has had far less experience. How does this look to the general public:
A. like a well-reasoned campaign intended to defeat the Democratic Party fairly on this "experience" issue, or
B. like a means to pull in the unintelligent voters who vote on decidedly non-political issues, e.g. a person's sex.
I don't know if Palin is "qualified" or not, but her "executive experience" is in Alaska, which is the fourth least-populous state, whose population accounts for .2% of the total U.S. population. I think 500% is a bit much of a scale factor for me to worry about for a person with two years experience. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney was the governor of Massachusetts (which has ten times the population) for twice as long.
Uh, everyone? Trust me, the opinions of America that the world expresses are very important.
So, national health care = communist now? I thought it was just being a decent human being and helping your fellow countrymen. It is arguable that privatizing medical care and not giving it to everyone who needs it is a form of triumphalism in favor of the wealthy. You wouldn't want to seem like a bigot, would you?
Please tell me this is a joke. Fox is not unbiased at all.
P.S. taking all bets as to which side will invoke Godwin's Law first! Will it be the conservative membership or the liberal membership of this board?
