Today the Republican Party makes history by selecting Governor Sarah Palin as our candidate for Vice President of the United States. Here is why she is an excellent and powerful candidate to run with John McCain
"There's no reason not to respect her and I believe she's qualified to be the Vice-President."
- Joe Biden (9/2/08)
With her years of executive experience and many accomplishments for the people of Alaska, Governor Sarah Palin is more prepared than Barack Obama to be President of the United States. She's made decisions, taken action, and faced accountability.
When Barack Obama was a community organizer, Governor Palin was serving as a local chief executive.
When Barack Obama was voting present 130 times on the most contentious issues of the day, Governor Palin was taking on corruption within her own party and stood up to the special interests, lobbyists, big oil companies and good-old boy network.
When Barack Obama was voting with the Democrats 97% of the time, Governor Palin was standing up to members of her own party and passed a landmark ethics reform bill.
When Barack Obama was requesting nearly $1 billion in earmark spending, Governor Palin was championing reform to end the abuses of wasteful earmark spending. She put a stop to the "Bridge to Nowhere" that would have cost taxpayers $400 million.
Governor Palin has a record of accomplishment that Barack Obama simply doesn't have. She has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska. Barack Obama has only passed one bill as the lead sponsor.
Governor Palin is an energy expert. She is the chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multi-state government agency that promotes the conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas recourses. She also served as Chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission overseeing energy development on state lands in Alaska.
Governor Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president. She has brought Republicans and Democrats together within her Administration and has seen approval ratings of over 80 percent.
The more I hear about Biden, the more I respect him for being a reasonable guy. First he says attacks on the candidates' families should be off limits, and now this. Good for him.
Anyone is ready to be VP. That's not the problem. The problem arises when you ask if is she ready to be President if something were to happen to the 72 year old President that has had 2 bouts with cancer?
He is being respectful, that shows his class, unlike Mrs. Palin who likes to take jabs at people for being a community organizer. He has to go out of his way to be complimentary because God forbid he actually suggest that she is not qualified to be VP. (she's a woman, ya know)
Just to be clear. Biden said this. Not the long quote below that.
There's no reason not to respect her and I believe she's qualified to be the Vice-President."
- Joe Biden (9/2/08)
This is a great example of why the GOP is doing as good as they are.
Democrats are *******.
Sara Palin just mocked and derided Biden's own Presidential candidate not 24 hrs prior.
Instead of ripping her a new one. Biden comes out trying to be the nice guy, after she smeared his own future boss.
When will Democrats ever learn?????
You didn't get the GOP memo...
"Any Dem who says anything bad about our new friend Sarah, is a SEXIST!"
Don't worry, Joe is setting her up
