[WSJ] Ignore the Chauvinists. Palin Has Real Experience.

so its okay for women to talk about how the hillary faced sexism and palin is facing chavinists but if obama talks about the faces on a dollar bill, the world implodes.



talk about double standard

 

Who needs chauvinists when you suck butt as a candidate anyway.

 

Chauvinists?

from the mccain camp? wtf? Can we spell "hypocrite"?

 

Oh my god, how much BS is in that puff piece? How is an opinion from McCain's staff a "different take?" It's the first take we got on her before we had a chance to research her.

She started a 527 to support Ted Stevens, he's been there for her practically every step of the way in her political career. She's in in the Alaskan "good ol' boys" network.

Currently under investigation for possible ethics violation as we speak.

Are they still trying to cram this one down our throats? Do they think we're stupid? It's already been discovered that she only cancelled it after congress wouldn't give Alaska the full amount they were asking for. She even criticized the "innacurate portrayal" of the project, ie calling it "the bridge to nowhere."

McCain and her disagree on ANWR, she wants to drill it.

 

What Mrs. Lingle is saying is that Palin has more experience than Obama, McCain and Hillary combined.

Palin for President!!

 

Is there a reason you can't find an article arguing her experience that's not written by someone connected to the GOP?

 

Well, they are written more in the form of "What experiences?"

I'd say about the same difficulty as finding an article arguing Obama's experience that's not written by someone connected to the Democratic Party.

 

How long before the Palin defenders start feeling, rather than appearing, foolish?

BAMBOOZLED

 

In fairness, the criticism of Obama was that some felt he was trying to manufacture the race issue. No one has used race against him and the media was lavishing him non-stop love yet he used the "They are going to try to scare you because I'm black" line (not his words) to try and stir the racial pot on his own.

Women really DID feel that Hillary was mistreated due to sexism (wrong or right) and there are many who feel the same now about Palin.

 

How many articles are written saying Obama has enough experience to be president that AREN'T by people who support him or the party?

How many articles written saying McCain is the one who can keep us safe that aren't by people who support him or his party?

McCain's pick more than validates Obama's experience.

 

Here's a conservative, on National Review:

4) Okay, maybe she is less prepared than I'd ideally prefer. But how are Obama's qualifications any better?

Let me start with point 4.

I (and most NRO readers) will vote against Barack Obama because I oppose his ideas. He is (at best) an old-line Walter Mondale taxer, spender, and regulator possibly still under the influence (at worst) of the radical alienation from America preached in his church and expressed in his own early writings. I'd vote against a candidate like this even if he had previously served as CEO of Google, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Governor of California, with a Nobel prize on top of it all.

That said: Can we conservatives please stop kidding ourselves about Barack Obama's "qualifications"? Yes, if I had been a Democratic donor back in 2006, I'd sure worry about whether Barack Obama had what it took to be president. That was before he took on the toughest political operation in America, before he beat Bill and Hillary Clinton, before he won 18 million primary votes.

Obama's nomination was not handed to him. He fought hard for it and won against the odds. "Qualifications" predict achievement. Once you have achieved, it doesn't matter what your qualifications are. Who cares whether the guy who built a big company from nothing didn't have much of a resume when he started? But if you are applying to run a big company built by somebody else, the resume matters ...

The worst mistake in any fight is to under-estimate your opponent's abilities. Look what happened to the people who under-estimated Reagan. If conservatives are to have any hope in the coming weeks, we should wake up to the fact that we face in Barack Obama a formidable man, who appeals to something important and deep in the American electorate. He's not a superman, he has vulnerabilities, he can be beaten. But he won't be beaten until we who are trying to beat him understand why and how he has come so far ...
