I get a kick from comments like "she isn't ready yet", when she never will be.

Wait until 2012, Rove will be reincarnated by then.
You're just trying to ruin my day, aren't you?

I thought it was common knowledge?

If Palin wins and Brown is in office, i'm emigrating to Japan.
I hear land's pretty cheap in afghanistan - lots of rolling hills and mountains with beautiful vistas - many prebuilt homes that've been around for thousands of years (albeit, a little damp).

Executive Experience is defined as experience where one is the top (or 2nd top) decision maker for the company, State, large military unit, etc.

How so? Can you provide documents to support this claim?

Governor Murkowski appointed Palin to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.[65] She chaired the Commission beginning in 2003, serving as Ethics Supervisor.[66] Palin resigned in January 2004, protesting what she called the "lack of ethics" of fellow Republican members.[67][68]
After resigning, Palin filed a formal complaint against Oil and Gas Conservation Commissioner Randy Ruedrich, also the chair of the state Republican Party,[69] accusing him of doing work for the party on public time and of working closely with a company he was supposed to be regulating. She also joined with Democratic legislator Eric Croft[70] to file a complaint against Gregg Renkes, a former Alaska Attorney General,[71] accusing him of having a financial conflict of interest in negotiating a coal exporting trade agreement,[72] while Renkes was the subject of investigation and after records suggesting a possible conflict of interest had been released to the public.[73] Ruedrich and Renkes both resigned and Ruedrich paid a record $12,000 fine.[66][74]

I see a lot of "buzzwords" but not much proof.

She reformed the Alaskan government through some of the above points I have made. now please, go ahead and disassemble each of my points because we both know you already knew my answers to all of these. Or are you going to ask me to explain what a social conservative is "exactly"?

*sigh* yeah, i'll probably be staying here for quite a fucking while. :(

I'm counting on Obama to fix this fucked up situation and give us some authority where we already are.

Yeah, i'm counting on a politician, that's how fucking screwed we are.

While it is clearly obvious that this board has a Democratic tilt i was hoping that through all the crap that goes on in this board Some level of respectable non BS discourse could be reached. The fact that you feel it necessary to dance around a very narrow question as it was presented gives me the impression that i may need to try to engage someone else in effective and objective discussion..


In any case good luck to you and your candidate.

I answered your question. You are right, it is a very narrow one. Let me try asking you one.

You have 2 children and a man with a gun is going to kill one. There is nothing you can do to stop it. Which one do you choose to die?

What you are trying to do is trap me under the guise of trying to have a "honest discussion". I'm not falling for it.

Corbett's real answer is that he realizes Palin is the least qualified VP candidate in memory, but his preference for McCain over Obama is so great that he prays a President McCain is able to live out his term.

No. His real answer would be that if McCain doesn't finish his term, so that Palin could become president, then so much the better.....

The fundies overplayed their hand with Terri Schiavo, but that doesn't mean they're going to give up...

I got that he was going to kill one of them and i cannot stop that, your question was what would i do and my answer was that after he made the kill i couldn't stop, i'd kill him.

Push the Christ out of you fucking mind, it's blocking your ability to think.

Corbett Seriously ... without the bullshit political answers, the changing of the subject and the answering of questions with another question.

Do you think Sarah Palin is ready to be President of the United States of America considering the fact that there is a possibility of her assuming that role as written by the law of the land?

Can you just give me an answer ? If its yes its yes .. I personally wont condemn you for your opinion ... but i would like to know what your honest opinion is ...

plain and simple...


Good Day ..

Just answer the bloody question please.. The question is a plain as day ... I think the answer should be as well.

I think Palin is just as ready to be president as Obama is, if not, more.

No they are asking you a very simple question about whether or not you believe Sarah Palin is qualified to become President of the United States should something happen to McCain if he were elected.

The fact that it has taken 6 pages for you to answer this question speaks volumes about you more than anything else.

Worst. Comeback. I've Seen.

You gave the premise (i CANNOT STOP IT), i answered it (I'D KILL HIM), you called me on reading comprehension since you didn't understand what i posted and now you are telling ME that i'm dishonest?

You're some piece of work, aren't you, but i guess you'd be pretty good at lying, even to yourself at this point, eh?

Pathetic.

I find it hard to believe that someone who has studied Sarah Palin can arrive at the conclusion that she is a maverick reformer and fiscal conservative.

No it's more likely Corbett is refusing to acknowledge the mountains of evidence that prove that Palin was just the opposite of what she claims to be. Her latest $150,000 spending spree on clothing is the ultimate hypocrisy. Of course Corbett will find ways in his brain to rationalize it.

Look above, he can't even understand a three word sentence, i am fully aware of his inteptitude.

Only way i like Palin is if Tina Fey is doing her... i'm so hot for her. ... crikey!
