Hey Sandy...how's everything?
I hope you're not stinging from our last encounter.

Can you explain to me how Obama has more experience than Palin?

I think you had more than enough time to research this question.

A few conservatives bolt and it suddenly means mass defections... Lets follow this logic. Lieberman is(was) a Democrat and is not only voting for but stumping for McGeezer. Therefore all Dems are abandoning Obama...

Or we could look for more neutral sources than Huffington.

Who cares if Palin's foreign experience isn't up to par?

Bush had tons of advisors with gobs of experience in foreign affairs and he screwed up Iraq.

Just because you've wined and dined with leaders of other countries doesn't make you anymore qualified on foreign affairs.

The middle of America.. the part of America with common sense and morals and family values think you are all a bunch of loons and that is why you will lose another election.
please tell me you're kidding.

I'm IN THE MIDDLE OF AMERICA. Omaha, NE. I have NEVER done illegal drugs of any kind, I don't like people acting above one another, and I eat what I can and use paper products freely. lol

I'm voting for Obama because I HAVE COMMON SENSE. You want a candidate who flat out, undoubtedly LIES and tries to pass it off? go ahead. You wanna guy who votes WITH BUSH 90% of the time, go ahead. You wanna guy who has picked a candidate, not for her merits, but for her lady parts? go ahead, but I won't be doing so, and I won't be grouped in with a bunch of people I couldn't have less to do with.

Here's the fact..

Palin fought her own party's corruption and won. That takes kahunas and intelligence. Palin fought big oil in Alaska and won. Those are real problems and she had real results.. positive results. 80% approval rate. Try getting 80% of Americans to agree on anything.. almost impossible. The woman was tested and won.

What on earth has Obama done? Someone.. please.. what? He gives a good speech. He went to Harvard. He was a community organizer. Even in politics he's got nothing. He voted present so he wouldn't offend anyone, either that or he didn't understand what they were voting on. And half the time he was in the senate he was campaigning. The guy has nothing. Did you watch his interview on O'Reilly? Oreilly tore him to pieces. If the guy can't answer questions by a tv anchor without studdoring.. duh.. duh... uh...uh.. then how the heck is he going to handle Putin or Ahminajad? He's great with a promptor but without it you see the true Obama... Hollow and not even kind of close to being ready to be President.

Use the search function. It's not even the point. The point (in my opinion) is judgment. I don't trust the judgment of McCain. By choosing someone just to reign in the religious right is a fine tactic if you want to win, but not a great tactic if you really care about our country. Plain and simple. He wants to change Washington all of a sudden. Ok, so he's running against himself and Bush, remember him? The president with whom he voted 95% of the time. He's so disingenuous it makes me ill listening to him.

You've never done illegal drugs? Give it time. If Obama gets elected him and Pelosi will legalize pot and then you'll get your chance.

It sounds like her speech over and over again. Wow, it is working. You're brainwashed!

Besides Iraq, what legislation did Bush and McCain vote on together that makes you ill?
