The only thing BO does good is give speeches, he is a good talker/communicator and that is just about it. He has zero experiance with the military, zero experiance making laws, and zero experiance governing/enforcing laws.

As soon as he got the Illinois State Senator position(notice I said "got" because he did not get elected AFAIK)they were pushing for BO to the US Senate. When he got elected, they started his POTUS campaign.

Given what your last President did, perhaps having no experience in the military is a plus.

why is she still relevant? Oh yeah: because people keep reading and writing shit about her. Just let her fade into obscurity.


(PS - I learned around 3 that you never put your finger anywhere near the trigger unless you plan on firing even if the gun is supposedly not loaded and to assume that every firearm is live at all times.)

Agreed.

Maybe she'll have a gun cleaning accident, and we won't hear any more from her after the memorial.

Dude, he, Cheney & Rumsfeld had their minds made up to invade Iraq years before it happened.

It's at this point that I have forgotten what thread I'm even reading....and now all I can think about is

Pics as proof of actual size (prefer animated) or we'll assume you're lying about the size and just hate you for what we've seen already so far

See? Again, didn't Wasilla WANT a hockey rink? Are you or rather the pundits you listen to, saying that Palin woke up one day and arbitrarily decided to have a rink built? Seriously? Politics-I voted for proposition XYZ until it got unpopular, now I'm against it and it's (insert name)'s fault it ever happened.

Yea because you would know what they were thinking BEFORE they even got into office... Reality check, 911 occurred 9 months into Bush's first term...POLITICS yeesh! EVERYONE wanted to attack Iraq at that time. The votes in both the House and the Senate were landslides. Polls showed something like 70-80% of the public for the war. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Yeah, everyone kind of went into a vigilante mode... I don't even know that the blind public wanted proof of who did it. They just wanted to hold "someone" responsible.

As far as Palin goes, she has embellished her experience in hunting... it just shows me she has probably embellished her experience in other things. Isn't this just like other lessons to learn - once a liar, always a liar?

I just think the blind public is fascinated by shiny and crazy things. She has a bit of shiny, and is certainly crazy.

I believe there are documents that back up Homeslice's claims that Cheney wanted Iraq before 9/11. Oil money and such..

I'm headed to the golf course, I'll do some Googling when I get back.
