Wow... There is a post at my parenting board [View All]

This is from the topic about Palin

"Lack of EDUCATION? Just because she only has a bachelor's degree? Offhand, I can recall several of our former presidents and vice presidents in recent years that had only a bachelor's degree -- Al Gore, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and George H.W. Bush, just to name a few. Al Gore, I believe, attended several different graduate programs, but never finished any of them. In addition, many of our recent presidents had advanced degrees only because they were lawyers -- not necessarily a plus IMO"


"One major belief I have and I don't understand why it isn't more understood: A vote for McCain is so NOT a vote for another Bush term. OMG - he is so liberal he is almost a Democrat (!!) and that is why the Republican base is so energized with Palin. She brings conservatism back to the ticket, even if she is the VP and not the main event. Several years ago, it was widely reported that he was even considering switching tickets!!!! "

" She has her dh to help her. From what I understand she didn't expect special accomidations for being the governor and even sent the chef home (don't have a link to back me up off the top of my head). I do think she's qualified. Moreso than Bill Clinton was. He hailed from ARKANSAS (and I'm not picking on Arkansas, half my family is there) and was *just the governor* too. Arkansas is rather protected if you look at geography Both Bush's were just governors as well (from what I recall). Sarah's not even looking to be president right now"



HOLY CRAP PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE A TEST TO VOTE. Seriously.. It just really ticks me off that the stupid repukes were able to take Palin's weakness (lack of experience) and turn it around and make it her strong point (experience). Remember last election they took Kerry's strong point (military service) and turned it into something awful. I wish they would hit back, they are losing independents who think Sarah really is wonderful... ugh!I guess I should be glad that as democrats we aren't that easily duped and that's why dems don't have to pull this crap. I'm getting off the computer and taking a break and maybe in a few days there will be some dirt on her and I can say Ha I told ya so to them!
