Why Palin is a Giant among Dwarf's when considering
the past 5 Presidents. G.H.W. Bush, Obama, w Bush, Clinton, and Carter. :crazy: If you need a laugh or a trip to Fantasy Island, here's your chance.

From our insane friends at Freeperville.

"Editor's Note: This is the first of a two-part series exploring Sarah Palin's qualifications for the presidency. Author: Nicole Coulter :shrug:

Qualification: An essential skill, quality, or attribute that makes somebody suitable for a job, activity, or task.
The opinion leaders sincerely want to know whether Governor Sarah Palin is "qualified" to run for president. Why else would they keep asking the question, right? So ... let's examine a few of Palin's populist credentials that stack up surprisingly well against the more conventional resumes of five recent presidents".

"10 Qualifications Sarah Palin Has Over Five Recent Presidents (Part One)

1. Ten years in municipal government.
2. Ten years volunteer work in the Parent-Teacher-Association.
3. Two years pro-life advocacy.
4. One year as an oil and gas commissioner.
5. Two and a half years governing the largest state in America."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2630162/posts

If this weren't so pathetic it's funny. After each of the 5 Reasons are paragraphs written which 'explain' how this is 'valuable Presidential qualifications. The written evaluation of each of these 5 points are priceless.

I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next installment. (Part Duex) :sarcasm:
We need a forum entitled 'Comedy' :)

RUN SARAH RUN

I would count that as service to our blessed country. Hence, you could be a valuable Veep.

13. She has no moral right to call her self govenor
Edited on Sat Nov-20-10 01:54 PM by Angry Dragon
She asked for a job, the people hired her, she found she could not handle it, so she has no right.
The last job she finished was failed attempt to be vice president.
So she has the right to call herself failed vice president.

edit: fix title

14. Two and half years governing
the largest state in America that has the SMALLEST POPULATION. And, then, she QUITS the only job that might qualify someone to run (like the great former govs Raygun and Shrub).

15. Two and a half years governing the largest state in America."
:rofl:

Alaska population : 698,473

Charlotte North Carolina : 704,422

Sarah was little more than a vagabond babysitter to people who really prefer Less, rather than more "governance"

16. To be fair
I remember the same sort of derision directed at the potential candidacy of Ronald Reagan some 32 years ago. Learned minds of the day said that he couldn't get nominated, but if he got nominated, he'd never be elected. Then, as the election approached, they said that if he managed to get elected, he'd never be able to govern.

After he used getting shot to get his economic ideas passed through Congress, they said he'd never be re-elected.

This is why Caribou Barbie worries the hell out of me.

18. I'm right there with you.

Not only Raygun but, w that little shrub, dumber than a box of rocks.

During the campaign season of 2008 when I saw the mad adoration in the eyes of the wingents and the not so nuts - it did scare the hell out of me.

No matter that McCain lost, we ignore or dismiss Palin at our peril. I firmly believe that and unless she makes a major fubar, she's dangerous.

When I write Run Sarah Run - it's more like whisteling past the grave yard. American's are a guilable lot.

17. Hey, if they want to back a reality tv show celebrity for President,
that says more about their own relevance than it says about Palin's.
