Comments on: Democrats say Palin mimics Bush divisiveness http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/04/democrats-say-palin-mimics-bush-divisiveness/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Interested Observer http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/04/democrats-say-palin-mimics-bush-divisiveness/#comment-1648331 Interested Observer Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:50:35 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=16754#comment-1648331 I have been a long time interested observer of our American political system. I am often amazed at the brazen, irrelevant, innane pronouncements made in the course of campaigns, and at how many of them are patently false and easily proven to be so. It seems that the republican wordsmiths are the clear masters of this black art, and the success of their candidates clearly justifies perpetuation of the practice. I believe that, in large measure, the republicans have met with success because they are shameless in their delivery of verbal stink bombs. Perhaps they believe that by saying something enough times and conjuring up a sufficient sense of outrage in the delivery will make it true. The latest example of this is seen in the party line concerning the qualifications of the vastly underqualified Sarah Palin.

Because she never said anything about her plans for the economy. I don't know what other people think they heard, but I heard, but I heard nothing. Palin and the rest of the republican party are going to need those hunting rifles to get votes. Palin will never be accused of broken promises, of that you can be sure.

Give me a break… Lets really look at the experience comparison:

Obama:
B.A in political science from Columbia University, with a specialization in international relations
J.D. in Law from Hardvard, graduated magna cum laude; President of the Harvard Law Review
12 years (92-04) teaching constitutional law
7 years State Senator: sponsored more than 800 bills
4 years Senator for Illinos, a state with 12.8 million people
Palin:
Bachelor's in journalism from University of Idaho
4 years Wasilla City Council (8000 people)
6 years Wasilla mayor (8000 people)
1 year "Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission"
20 months governor of a state with 660,000 people

Do the Republicans really think we're so stupid that we would believe Palin is more experienced than Obama? Give me a break…

They used it in 04 and are trying to use it again. I have a question for you, Do you know what Palin's policies are about fixing this economy your great Commander in Cheif left us in, What about Health Care or College, all she did was attack and use weak one liners that you probably thought was funny, YOU REPUBLICANS DON'T GET IT your 8 years in control of this counrty put us in this mess yet you think another 4 or 8 will change it. Einstein once said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." You republicans make me sick, instead of putting some kind of substance all you know how to do is attack, but thats ok when the dabetes start we'll see who's going to be left with their tales between their legs, good luck on the rest of the election because for the next 8 years you're going to see how a country should be run. Sadly for you it's not going to be one of your beloved republicans who have no plans exept wars and deficits will hopefully one day stop taking money from these lobbyist and think about the country before their wallets.

While I'll admit it was what she needed to do for the base, it still answer any questions for me. She talked about Obama's "lack" of plan, but she didn't lay out the Republican plan or any parts of it. I only heard the economy addressed one time and that was when she talked about energy. But even that was in the context of what Alaska has done to help. She talked about taxes in the same way that all Republicans talk about taxes, and that is to try to paint Obama as a tax and spend. President Bush has grown the government more than any other president in history (Democrat or Republican), but yet Republicans still talk about small government. In my opion, this speech, while it shows Gov Palin's grit, showed me the same stuff that Republicans accuse Obama of - style, but no substance. Again, for the base, she did her job. Now she has to face the media (which BTW she's not given one interview since the announcement). Hopefully the media will ask the real questions, not about the daughter, that's their issue, not mine. I want to hear her answer questions on Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan (which was not mentioned in her speech). I want to hear her answers on foreign policy. I also want to know her views on creationism or evolution. I want to know whether she supported the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. I really want to know whether she used her office to try and get somebody fired (ethics). Those are legitimate questions and has nothing to do with smears. Its not questioning her qualifications, but rather her knowledge and judgement (the same things Republicans accuse Obama of lacking). The jury is out, let's wait and see.

Congratulations on your terrific coverage. However I am bewildered by the discussion on the difference in 'expertise' between Governor Palin and Obama. Recently we, in England and Europe, watched in admiration Barack Obama's recent foreign tour, where he met the heads of government in the EU and many other countries - and was received and accepted as a wise and clever statesman - and an egual. He has talked to many members of the G 8 and has visited many of the countries that have trouble spots in the rest of the world. The only comment from the Republicans was that this was a celebrity cult. It seems a knowledge of foreign policy is not a priority or qualification for the Republicans - but to me the fact that Obama has met and been accepted by so many other world leaders, does give him a great advantage in the experience stakes and equips him far better for President - with all the world problems - than Governor Palin - who seems to have met no foreign leaders and has no experience of that sort at all.. I would find that it very alarming - with her total lack of contact with any leaders outside America - if she were suddenly to find herself taking over the Presidency.

The woman has major problems in her family, in her governing style, in her lying, her pastor-it goes on and on. And we're supposed to "fall in love" with the new "rock star." Sorry, there is little about her to love.Maybe republicans like the pit bull style...I found it nauseating. The difference between her speech and Biden's was that he was stating facts about the current administration and McCain's ties to it. She was going off on the half-truths and outright lies that the McCain campaign has been using for months. (Can someone in the campaign please "FACT CHECK" before you write a speech?) Had she gone out and told what THEY intend to do, and been positive, she may have been likable. There was absolutely no attempt to win over anyone not already Republican. That is why this Hillary Dem will stay with the party with a plan...and stay away from the evangelical pit bulls. Palin "hit a nerve" because she was so sarcastic and so "cute."

Of course, you can go straight to the Obama site, but I guess the negative republicans wouldn't believe it if it's on his site. May I add one other thing.

She has done absolutely nothing for womens rights. For example, the right to choose, paid maternity leave like every advanced nation in the world, equal pay, health care for single moms and families. What has she done? She intends instead to throw us back into the stone age where the Republican Party has kept us for the past 7 1/2 years. If you're a female and think she's your choice, be aware, be very aware. Your tax paying dollars will be paying for the full time care of her children and grandchildren. Meanwhile you'll still have to work and take of your own kids full time with no tax paying or government help. As a 35 year old female I am extremely offended by Sarah Palin.

That wasn't a speech - it was a hateful rant. Nothing whatsoever of substance, nothing regarding what she would actually do, and nothing about why she's worth our votes. Basically, it was pathetic, and this is from a registered Independent with no party affiliation whatsoever. Aren't we all tired of this?
