Innocent cans of soup all over this planet are getting their noodles in a twist trying to figure out where they went wrong and what they did to deserve such insult.

LOL. But I do hope the GOP runs Palin in 2012. I really really do. It would be like the rugby game in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life," and it would be hilarious to watch.

It's not about finding something against her, it's about whether she's qualified to be President. She clearly is not. If she won, she'd probably quit if she could make more money selling books and going on TV (like she did as Governor of Alaska).

i could say our current pres. isnt qualified either. thats a matter of opinion. tbh the biatch scares me. id rather have someone else on the non liberal side. anyone but her. qualified? idk maybe, but i dont trust her. for some reason

The Buddha · February 14, 2011, 06:57:45 AM

I hope that Palin runs as well. She would probably drag the republican party down with her. And man think of the jokes Tina Fey is going to unleash. Just think of the jokes man. Dear god, let her run. Or atleast let her pop up everywhere ... I just dont want to lose my Tina Fey fix.
Cool.

If palin had to f%$k anythign up, have her run as an indi. she does scare me, id say she might be qualified, as much as obama is anyways. or as jimmy carter was, etc. but id rather see someone else 1 in teh white house. and as well on the gop ticket etc

Isn't qualified?? I've voted for dog catchers in local elections that were better qualified. I generally vote libertarian so my candidates never win major elections...but they do win quite a few local ones...

agreed. i can trust our local dog catcher as well. a person not afraid to get his or her hands dirty

The Buddha · February 15, 2011, 10:05:46 AM

OK so what do you expect as "qualifications" for a president.

I'd make the case where Obama started out poor with a single parent, worked as a community organiser (and John McCain's "I dont even know what a community organiser is" was right up there with the "drill baby drill" and the "financial system is fine" and that whole Joe the plumber schpeel - aka out of touch with reality) and eventually made it to the WH. As in ... he was from the people. Compare that to say GW Bush - who was born rich and his previous job had been to manage a baseball team. Are there smarter people, sure yes, however that is not the point. The point is he/she should be one of the common folk.

Cool.
Buddha.

Obama is a Harvard educated man. He was elected to the state legislature in one of the most populous states in the union. He was elected U.S. Senator from one of the most populous states in the union. He is a moderate politician who has successfully negotiated major bills which benefit the middle class. He is not liberal by any stretch of the imagination.

Qualified to me means intelligent, honest, well-educated, and able to work with people. It is also necessary that they deal in reality, not in fantasy. Neither Bush nor Palin nor McCain can claim more than 2 of those five.

i knew youd be back, his volting record while in senate he was hardly ever there. one could say he was campaigning fro president. thats fine, BUT as a senator, your obligation is to serve teh consituents first. is it not?

The Buddha · February 16, 2011, 11:28:24 AM

Well yes true. However the people who put you there - as in the people who voted for you - not the ones who didn't, if you were to ask them would you like me to run for president, my chances seem good, the work you need me to perform will be carried out by the staff and advisers I have on hand who work for you in reality, and if I do get elected president, I'd put in a word for someone with similar ideals to the guv'ner (in this case sadly Rod Blagoyaveich) ...
That question is what the committee is supposed to do. Not sure how exactly they do it, but a committee to study etc is supposed to do somethign like that.
Cool.

You guys seem to think the President "runs" the country...WRONG...yes, he puts the final stamp of approval on each decision...but in reality it is his advisors and others that you don't vote for directly...he is just the figure head for the party that he represents...you are voting in the whole team, not just the president...I'm all for a pretty face to look at while listening to speaches that are prepared by said advisors...

My two cents...

Later.

The Buddha · February 17, 2011, 07:20:49 AM

Yep, the whole team, which is why when Bush was president Cheney ran the country.
Anyway I like it that many states including NC have struck down the "Must have insurance" provision.
That was put in the thing by the insurance lobby. Perfect.
Cool.
