McCain ad: Palin more qualified than Obama

“The McCain campaign will launch a television ad directly comparing Gov. Palin’s executive experience as a governor who oversees 24,000 state employees, 14 statewide cabinet agencies and a $ 10 billion budget to Barack Obama’s experience as a one-term junior senator from Illinois.”The ad is what the campaign calls “a forward-leaning effort to counter the shameless smears that have prevailed during Gov. Palin’s introduction to the American voter.”
…
“Gov. Sarah Palin is an exceptional governor with a record of accomplishment that exceeds, by far, the governing accomplishments of Sen. Obama. Her selection came after a six-month long rigorous vetting process where her extraordinary credentials and exceptionalism became clear. This vetting controversy is a faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee for vice president of the United States who has never been a part of the old boys’ network that has come to dominate the news establishment in this country. Sen. McCain picked his governing partner after a long and thorough search. Gov. Palin looks forward to addressing the nation and laying out the fundamental choice this election represents for the American people.
Here is a new ad:
REPORTED FALSEHOODS AND SMEARS AGAINST GOV. PALIN’S FAMILY AND HISTORIC CANDIDACY:
* Liberal Bloggers Questioned Whether Gov. Palin’s Fifth Child Was Actually Bristol Palin’s Child.
* CNN’s John Roberts Questioned Whether Governor Palin Would Be Able To Care For A Child With Down Syndrome As Vice President.

* MSNBC, Headlines Beneath The Live Coverage Included “SOME WORKING MOTHERS WORRY THAT PALIN IS TAKING ON TOO MUCH” And “SOME VOTERS CONCERNED IF PALIN, A MOTHER OF FIVE, HAS TIME TO BE VP.”
* Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) Said That Gov. Palin Was A Supporter Of Pat Buchanan Who He Called A “Nazi Sympathizer.”

yekepyt: You’re a fool. Yesterday, Gallup had Obama at 50 … so I guess he went DOWN a point. LOL!!
The Republicans really don’t need any help with Sen. Obama showing how inexperienced he really is. Comparing his campaign to the time she was Governor and stating information from when she was a Mayor??? Maybe liberals fall for it.
The response comes…
Well, Obama and Ayers managed to run a couple of public/private funded enterprises into the ground–guess that counts as well.
BTW LM — just about everything you quoted as “questions” in #30 have already been proving completely false by adults. Ask mom for some cookies.
And the fight continues. Here is a list of advertisers for Us Ragazine:

Palin is getting vetted now, the chaotic, messy, Republican way.
Lucky this isn’t the week America is focused on the Republican party! Oh wait…
Nice job, McC.
Dang, being this “desperate” sure is fun.
Kimberly — take it easy, just follow these simple steps:
1. Click on the link to the Gallup Web Site.
2. See the dark green line moving UP? That’s Obama. See the light green line moving DOWN? That’s McCain. See the gap? It’s widening on both sides.
3. Apology accepted.
Kimberly — there are a lot of progressive voices on this blog. Posting a list of companies to boycott on here will probably result in a net increase in sales for those companies.

..so, Jay, how are Barak America and “The Next President of the United States” after that furtive Saturday morning fumble-fest when “plugs” was rolled out?
I got the old popcoprn popping and the butter melting just waiting to watch these two clowns — Obama and Biden — gaffe their way through the campaign.

Yekept- Are you really this much of a dumbass or are you trying to be funny? You make fun of Kimberly for calling you on being wrong on polling, then you link a poll from July. Seriously pathetic. Just so you know, today is September third. Obama is leading 49 to 43, which is six points. Yesterday he led 50 to 42, whixh is 8 points. Which means in this daily tracking poll, Obama is tracking down. Moron.
Ha! Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan don’t seem to think Palin is qualified at all. Damn those live mics.

What say you, Palin supporters?
Rich is right and I am wrong — and now I have to apologize to Kimberly!
I’m sorry, Kimberly, you were right and I was wrong.
And thanks to Rich for pointing it out, and posting the correct link, which does in fact show exactly the opposite of what I was hoping for!
Amanda- Seriously, Ill see your Peggy Noonan and raise you a Joe Biden.
“Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing – that Barack Obama is not ready to be President.”

Now I will double down with a Hillary Clinton quote on Obama’s readiness.
“I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.” – March 2008 campaign commercial
LiberalMind,
“The experience thing has been blown away, thanks to McCain’s pick of the most inexperienced VP pick in history.”
Serving 8 years as a Mayor and Governor, both executive postions, is less experience than?:
John Edwards – one term Senator with his entire previous experience as an ambulance-chasing malpractice lawyer.
Sargent Shriver – Never held elective office, yet was the VP candidate under McGovern.
Those are just two, off the top of my head.
I’m still waiting for someone to enlighten me on Senator Obama’s stellar qualifications and experience. Even members of his own party don’t think he has the necessary experience.
“I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.” – Senator Joe Biden. OOPS, Senator Joe’s now the VP pick for the Donk’s. Better bury that quote really deep.
‘‘I think we need a president with more experience than that (speaking of Senator Obama), someone the rest of the world knows, looks up to and has confidence in.’’ – Senator Hillary Clinton
“I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002,” – Senator Hillary Clinton.
And you know what Senator Obama says is his “…strongest experience I have in foreign relations”..”the fact I spent four years overseas when I was a child in Southeast Asia…’’ 4 years living in Southeast Asia from the ages of 6 until 10? Are you telling me your candidates “strongest foreign relations experience” occurred when he was not even a TEANAGER?!?!?!?! And you want this phoney elected President of my United States of America? You’ve got to be kidding.
I still haven’t heard anyone justify how Obama deserved to get raked over the coals because he attended a church who’s pastor criticized America, but Palin get’s a free pass for attending the convention of, and being extremely friendly with the AIP, who’s founder had this to say about the USA…
“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government,”
“And then you get mad. And you say, the hell with them. And you renounce allegiance, and you pledge your efforts, your effects, your honor, your life to Alaska.”
This is a man who is still hailed on AIP’s website, right now.
Why did Palin feel it was acceptable to attend their convention?
Is there nothing wrong with the fact that her husband clearly believes in the principles of the AIP, since he was provably a member from 1995 to 2002.
Obama knows a guy who went to jail for corruption and he’s vilified. Sarah Palin is married to a man who doesn’t want to be a United States Citizen, and that’s perfectly acceptable?
I’ll be waiting with bated breath for this epic spin job.
Uh, maybe because the convention didn’t last 2O YEARS?
“Not so sure; this woman has been in the crucible before and has not folded. I mean, it must have been intimidating to go up against the Alaskan power structure.”
William of Orange … I agree …
At the end of 2005, a close friend called to say that he begun writing speeches and talking points for a certain gubernatorial candidate.
“Remind me,” I asked. “Who is Sarah Palin?”
I was dismayed at my friend’s choice of political entree. Why was he wasting his time on a relative nobody, trying to beat an incumbent governor (and former three term senator) in the Republican primary? It was utter folly. “Wait until the big money starts coming in for Murkowski,” I said. “Wait until the party machinery goes to work on Palin. They will eat her for lunch.”
Murkowski, for his part, expressed a similar view. “If I decide to,” he said, “I will run and I will win. It’s that simple.”
The folly, of course, turned out to be my own (and Murkowski’s), as Palin slaughtered the incumbent in the primary–posting a 30 point margin of victory–and went on to win the general (over a former Democratic governor) without seeming to break a sweat. She then quickly fulfilled an implicit campaign promise by slapping down ExxonMobil, BP, and ConocoPhillips in negotiations over a proposed Alaska natural gas pipeline, even though they, too, by all accounts, were well prepared to dine on her tender little frame. Not bad for a lightweight.
Uh, maybe because the convention didn’t last 2O YEARS?
Your right, but her husband was a member for only 8 years. What exactly is the number of years that is the cut off point for outrage? 10 years? 15 years?
I would also suggest that her husband has a direct impact on her daily life, much more so then a minister who you may see once a week. So, therefore Obama was inflenced by an ‘anti-american’ once a week for 20 years vs. Plain, every day for 8 years (and Plain had sex with an ‘anti-american’). Does that make them equal? Do you see how ridiculous the whole 20 years arguement is?
Doesn’t it really suck when the absurd arguments wing nuts used in the past months can be turned around and laid flatly at your feet. So, the Experience arguement is gone, the patriotic arguement is gone and the 20 years arguement is gone all with the selection of Ms. Plain. What an interesting turn of events this has been.
Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE move to the issues now?
Faceplant,
Try to keep up. The leader of the AIP has admited that Gov Palin has never been a member of the AIP.
“Obama knows a guy who went to jail for corruption and he’s vilified.”
Let me correct that for you: ” Obama used cocaine, calls an unrepentant terrorist a friend, bought property in a ’sweetheart deal’ from a convicted felon, and he gets off scott-free with the MSM.”

The “new” donkroach party is made up of marxists, anarchists, radical homosexuals, radical atheists, abortionists.
and terrorists such as weather underground, black panthers, and nation of islam.
Remember all the “peoples” parties? (leftists) IE
russia
cambodia
cuba
n.korea
china
etc to nausiem.
The death toll from these left wing regimes in the twentieth century, was over THREE HUNDRED MILLION !
Imagine if the some who post here were really in charge?
Do I hear FIRING SQUADS?
Remember Che, Fidel, Pol, Joe, etc were all the “PEOPLES liberators” Ie all leftists.
PS
I have talked to several friends and a few people I dont know………ALL were like me lukewarm on McCain some were considering not even voting……..ALL now energized by the appointment of Palin.
That is GREAT NEWS !!!! WOO HOO!
S..A..R,
Yes, the experience arguement is “gone.” It has been dramatically proven that Senator does not have the necessary experience to serve and President, yet alone run for President. To quote a couple of your liberal “friends”:
‘‘I think we need a president with more experience than that, someone the rest of the world knows, looks up to and has confidence in.’’
“I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002,”
“I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”
You know who made those quotes? The first two were made by Senator Hillary Clinton. The last was made by Senator Joe Biden.
Gosh, even the VP Candidate doesn’t think the Presidential Candidate is ready to be President. WOW!!!!!! Maybe Senator Biden knows something you don’t.

>>>Let me correct that for you: ” Obama used cocaine, calls an unrepentant terrorist a friend, bought property in a ’sweetheart deal’ from a convicted felon, and he gets off scott-free with the MSM.”>>>
AND
has been accused of two or more homosexual liasons.
One with a man who committed suicide,
and, one who give first hand details in a video STILL posted on U tube………Crickets chirping from the MSM.
A republican tapping his toes?…….run him out of town, ruin him!
“Your right, but her husband was a member for only 8 years. What exactly is the number of years that is the cut off point for outrage? 10 years? 15 years?”
I’m not sure, how long ago was it that Barak Obama SMOKED CRACK?
Rich, I think it was about the same time and Plain’s husband got that DUI! So say 18 years?
I see my Vice presidential candidate’s HUSBAND’S dui and I raise you your PRESIDENTIAL candidates admitted previous hobby of smoking crack. Is this the card game you want to play?
I said that wrong but you get the gist, comparing the vice presidential candidates husband’s shortcomings to a presidential candidates shortcoming is a little retarded.
Ann Coulter got it right:
“When liberals start acting like they’re opposed to pre-marital sex and mothers having careers, you know McCain’s vice presidential choice has knocked them back on their heels.”
LMAO, the point was not comparing their short comings Rich. It was that both occurred many years ago and are not a true representation of their characters to date.
In any event, you said Obama smoked Crack, then after I mention DUI you come back with Obama smoked crack. By that logic, a winning rebutal would be ‘But palin’s a heart-beat away’ considering McCain’s cancer troubles.
[...] Suuuuuuuurrrrrreeeee. It all just “happened” to show up simultaneously after you sent out that memo. The dishonesty of the Obama campaign knows no bounds when it comes to smearing Sarah Palin. [...]
[...] knows, Sarah Palin scares the crap out of Obama and his Obamabots. That’s why they are so misleading, vicious and relentless in their attacks on her. The biggest meme they floated was attempts to link Sarah Palin with George McGovern’s [...]
