There have been many politicians, who have advanced thier careers from state and local government. Palin is just one of many. Niether more nor less qualified than those before her.
Fact of the matter is that Palin was and is more qualified to be president over B.O. ANYDAY. Look at what she has done in her career compared to B.O. Think about it...What has B.O. EVER done? B.O.'s only experience was an "community organizer" and that along with Chicago politics, a speech at the 2004 DNC convention got him into the U.S. Senate where he served what?...144 days in the senate? Great! Let's elect him!!...let's make him a US President and hope for change...or change for hope or what ever redistribution B.S. he is promoting. B.O. really shows his true colors without his telepromoter...when he has to use HIS words and beliefs. Shoot...he can't even formualte a complete sentence because he has to remember what he has been "coached" to say...with all of the "duhs" and "umms" mixed in between.
Sometimes all you have to read is the first sentence to know without a doubt that you need not waste any time reading the rest of the bovinae fecal matter.
Here we go with this stupidity about bloody teleprompters again. Midas tell me which politican has not used one since they were invented, then tell me which US President has failed to use one for any news confrence or speach in the past 20+ years!! if you cant then how about giving it a rest? Oh and I am still waiting for one of you to tell me whats wrong with President Obama using one! and what modern Presidenty never had a scrip writer?
There are just two Very DIFFERANT B.O.'s you see on television...one with a teleprompter and one without. It wasn't that much evident before with other presidents because most could communiate without a teleprompter, but B.O. is really lost without his crutch...he is a stuttering idiot without being told and reading what to say. And yes...anybody that thinks that just because his sole experience as a "community organizer" is good enough to make him a US Senator and his 144 days in office is enough experience to elect him president is a FOOL. But let's compare Palin's experience against B.O.'s for a minute: Previous Jobs: Palin: Mayor of Wasilla, AK (1996-2002); President of Alaska Conference of Mayors; City Council member (1992-1996) State Senator (1997-2004); B.O.: Community Organizer Executive Experience: Palin: Governor for 2 years; Mayor for 10 years B.O.: None Foreign Relations: Palin: Governor of state that borders two foreign countries (Canada and Russia) B.O.: Chaired Senate subcommittee on Europe but never called it into session; once gave a speech to 200,000 screaming Germans on Hope & Change.

Coolest thing about their Spouse: Palin: Tesoro Iron Dog Snowmobile race champion (longest snowmobile race in the world); In 2008, while defending his championship, was injured when he was thrown 70 feet from his machine. He was sent to the hospital but still finished in fourth place B.O.: Sister of Oregon State University head basketball coach Craig Robinson Most Courageous Moment in Public Service: Palin: Resigned in protest from position of Ethics Commissioner of Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in order to expose legal violations and conflicts of interest of Alaska Republicanleaders, including the former state Attorney General and the State GOP Chairman (who was also an Oil & GasCommissioner), who was doing work for the party on public time and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail. B.O.: Gave an anti-Iraq war speech to a crowd of anti-Iraq war demonstrators in Hyde Park in 2002 In Current Office Because of: Palin: Upset sitting Governor in GOP primary due to public support for her efforts to clean up corrupt government establishment B.O.: Republican opponent, who was leading inthe polls, was forced to leave race after unsealing of divorce records exposed a sex scandal Theme: Palin: Change and Clean Government B.O.: Hope and Change;”Bringing Change from Outside Washington” What they’ve done to live that theme: Palin: Replaced entire Board of Agriculture and Conservation because of conflict of interest; Resigned from position of Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oiland Gas Conservation Commission in order to expose corruption among members of own party B.O.: Selected 36-year incumbent Senator as running mate Family Affairs: Palin: May have removed State Public Safety Commissioner as part of effort to protect sister in messy divorce and child custody battle B.O.: Often says, “I am my brother’s keeper”; Brother lives in a hut in Nairobi on $12 per year Union affiliation: Palin: Union member, married to Union member B.O.: Endorsed by unions Iraq and Troop Support: Palin: Formerly (pre-surge) critical of apparent lack of long-term strategy for Iraq; Visited wounded U.S. soldiers in Germany;visited AK National Guard soldiers deployed to Kuwait; Son deploying to Iraq on 9/11/08 as Army infantryman. B.O.: Gave an anti-Iraq war speech to a crowd of anti-Iraq war demonstrators; almost visited wounded troops in Germany, but decided to go shopping in Berlin instead Check and Check mate...
I dont think Palin was a state senator. And certainly not at the same time she was mayor. Which was only six years not 10. I dont want to get caught up in some weird math, but 1996 to 2002 is six isnt it? I've been wrong in subtraction before, so please anyone correct me if that is wrong. As I said before Palin is not the only politician who has been in local government before hitting the national spotlight. Just my opinion, but the only person quailfied to be president is a former president.
You'll never get an answer Steve. One-sided baseless attacks are just too hard to defend when logic and facts are presented.
Coming from a "man" that can't answer how much more should one pay in taxes when the top 50% of all wage earners already pay almost 98% of all taxes collected (Source: IRS) So...how much MORE do you think we should pay in ADDITION to what we already pay now Moen? Come on...liberals seem to know best how to spend somebody else's dollars so step up and inform us! Shoot...if you are self enployed (which is called an employer), you are already paying over 15% of your income RIGHT OFF OF THE TOP for Social Security BEFORE ANY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES are levied!! So tell us Moen...is 50, 60, 70, 80, 90% or should we just give it all to you because you work for a university and know better than those that work in the real world. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Anyways...this teleprompter thing would never have been an issue exept B.O. really demonstrates how much he stutters and can't speak WITHOUT a telepromter telling him what to say...even his staff sees this as they "tried" to hide the teleprompter and replace it with this one:
You ask a dumbass question and expect intelligent people to respond intelligently. Ain’t gonna happen sister! Are you so smug in your beliefs that you can’t even see why people just begin to ignore you once they’ve seen your act? You don’t seem to have learned a thing in all the time you’ve been here. You’re like a broken record that plays over and over and over until you sound like a cross between elevator music and background noise. Do us all a favor and move along.
And there you have it ladies and gents...our liberal on staff can't win without the character attacks. I guess he already knows that the top producers ALREADY pay too much in tax and income redistributiion, so instead of enlightenig us as to HOW MUCH more one should pay as deemed necessary by him and his government/college socialist friends, he ducks and runs for cover. I'll make it easy for you...pick one: 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100% of ones income should be taxed? Tell us! You guys are the "experts" at raising taxes and spending everybody else's money, so go ahead and pick one. Just a reminder since you don't work in the public sector, keep in mind that if you are self employed like those evil business owners, you already pay 15.3% right off the top...so how much more (that means in addition to) should they get taxed? {This should be interesting} As for your 'God' Obama...please tell us what experience and qualifications he had (i.e., community organizer) that and which exceeded Palin? As for the teleprompter...like I stated earlier, B.O. really shows his true colors when he speaks for himself...which is terrible in his own right. I can see it now in his White House briefings..."Don't speak unless we tell you what to say" People already refused to see his character with the people that advised him like the terrorist Ayers and "God Damn America" Rev. Wright, at least they are seeing him as he speaks for himself...without the teleprompter. Otherwise, he looks like a jackass...which is a fitting symbol of him and his party.
Who is it you think you are speaking to? You don't have an audience. Stop showboating. Know when to take good advice.
You, audience, etc., just tell me then how much MORE to you want us to pay on top our the 15.3% that is TAXED (taken) for social security taxes as somebody that is self-employed? State income tax is another subject, but let's just focus on when the feds take from us. Liberals are of the mind set of more government and that means...MORE taxes. So...fess up Moen...tell us how much more on top of this already puninshing tax rate should achievers/producers/employers PAY??
Can't fess up and answer a simple tax rate question can you?...so easy to spend somebody else's money when it is not your own, isn't it Moen? Ladies and gentlemen...your socialist democratic party at work. Typical...
Don't worry folks...there is a reason for his thought process: That way you can understand WHY they do what they do...
gutless...sure gutless...can't handle the debate so you duck and run like a little girl. So...fess up Moen...tell us how much more on top of this already puninshing tax rate should achievers/producers/employers PAY??
