Seems as though McCain kicked Fiorina under the bus, so while in the process of stating her party prepared statements, she let the TRUTH slip out. McCain-Palin can't cut it. This is MAJOR! She has been a major supporter of the campaign and she essentially stated that these two nuts couldn't run a company, not to mention a country. How are you Regressive desperados going to explain this away? One of your own fesses up.
She also stated the party-line, that unqualified Palin has more executive experience than Obama without realizing that Obama beat the frontrunner and wife of a former 2-term President to take the nomination in very well-run excessively drawn out marathon campaign...certainly an example of "executive" experience.
Of course they can't; they're politicians, not businesspeople.
What you wackos don't get is that no politician can run a company, so they should try to minimize their laws that impose on something they know little to nothing about. I choose Reps because I know it's more likely that they'll mind their own business. If a Dem gets into office, even though they don't know crap, they try sticking their hands in the cookie jar with no real regard for consequences.
You're preaching to the choir... I just wish it meant more to you than a petty criticism.

So Mitt Romney can't run a company? Michael Bloomberg can't? Herb Kohl can't? Hmm, you should call them and let them know.

"Mind their own business," yes indeed: deregulated, opaque and at your expense. So, how much did you and your kids set aside to bail out Fannie and Freddie, which surely you saw coming? Will it be more than you paid to bail out the S&Ls in the 80s and 90s? Or havent you cared enough to calculate that?
Bet you wish your Social Security money had been invested in Fannie Mae or in Lehman Bros.
"Minding their own business" brings us right up to date (http://robertreich.blogspot.com/2008/09/why-wall-street-is-melting-down-and.html - broken link).

Obama supports a PayGo policy to (attempt to) restore fiscal responsibility, as well as stepped-up financial regulation. That doesnt sound like a hands-in-the-cookie-jar approach, in fact just the opposite.

I just wish you cared enough about your country, not to mention your own wallet, to pay attention to what's being done to you.

It was kind of sad that they didnt give her points for being such a loyal suckup/humorless idiot about Tina Fey.
(Also in that piece: "Speaking of Palin's substance, today on the stump she loudly declared that she'd end the practice of Wall Street rewarding incompetent CEOs with 'golden parachutes.' Palin made no note of Fiorina's own $21 million-dollar ripcord, because I guess that would be too substantive.")
oh the spin. What other two candidates did she also say could not run a company. What about the part about Palin and McCain being fast learners and could quickly learn how.

Yes, she did try to spin, you're right. It was pretty lame, though.
