Tulane Skins Fan Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I don't see McCain running bigger deficits than Obama. Neither of us is Nostradamus. But I KNOW that Obama is going be a typical liberal dem.. his voting record proves that. Actually, its more like math. McCain hasnt proposed cutting spending except his general term "pork." We don't know what that means. He has also proposed cutting taxes for the richest and the corporations. Obama at least is pointing to a place where he's going to bring in more money. I'm sure there are tons of statistical economics analyses that someone can post that show the projected deficits of each candidate for the next 4 years. BTW, we're getting way off topic.

aREDSKIN Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I know I'll get creamed in here for this, but I'll say there is about a 25% chance that McCain is not even eligible to be President and will not serve a day in office. Obviously you have no idea what your talking about but hey that's been obvious for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffBattles Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I don't like her as a person....I think she is actually a horrible person, that has been handed everything because she has a pretty face. Intellectually, she is nowhere close to being ready to be leader of the free world. What if frightening about her, is that she is such a "believer" as opposed to a "thinker" that she wouldn't be concerned if she became President...she would just try to push her ideals regardless what is right for the country. To try and compare her readiness to Obama's is silly. It isn't even close, and I think all of you know that underneath it all, spouting your talking points or not. It is irresponsible to put her in a position to be President of the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 No, Obama is not much more experienced, he hasn't been a "big leagues pitching coach", to use your analogy, he's been a little league coach.If I owned a baseball team, I would know that just because someone was an excellent pitching coach, that doesn't mean that they can manage every aspect of a team... Sometimes, a college or minorleague manager would be a better pick over that pitching coach. U.S. Senate is the bigs, Code. No way not to recognize that. Wascilla is Pee Wee as is the Community Organizer. Even if the Community Organizer has more constituents and responsibility. Now, Governor of Alaska is probably AA Ball... I would think... maybe (just based on population and wealth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I vote no. I still don't know anything about her, and when Bush went for his 1st term, I actually knew who Cheney was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 It's not that I don't know anything about her. It's that I never heard of her and even with the Republican engines working as hard as they can.. They can't really point to significant breakthrough of hers (unless we count this pipeline thing) Obama was invovled in nonproliferation legislation (controlling nukes and who has the material to make nukes or dirty bombs is a huge issue. And Equal rights legislation... which is something my mushy liberal heart approves of. And a dozen other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 So someone who comes from, say, Arkansas, with few people and FAR fewer natural resources than Alaska is coming from what, rookie ball? Yeah, Clinton was probalby AA too. At least he was a two termer and had a bunch of things he could point to and say... I did this, I countered that, and when pressed on opinions he didn't have the deer in the headlights reaction (insert exaggeration apology) Obama is a light weight to a degree, but he's been in the national spotlight for four years. He has some achievements and qualities that make him worth reckonning. I'd say that Obama is a B/B- prospect. I'd say that McCain is a C+/B- prospect. As VP, I'd give Biden a B/B+ and as VP I'd give Palin a C-/D. Having said that, believe it or not I feel much better about Palin than I did two weeks ago. She moved up from failing to barely passing. That's not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 This website is infested with liberals. This place is infested with right-wing whackjobs. Impressive, eh? In truth, what the place has become infested with is posts like yours here--posts that do little other than offer distorted perceptions presented as facts, or promote misinformation, or celebrate ignorance, or incite others, or project the poster as just another partisan hack. So congrats for your ongoing efforts in doing your part in that infestation. I'm sure you've found many like-minded playmates from both wings of the political bird.

Ax Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yes, and no. Yes, because a smart enough person can make tough decisions, based on information provided by literally thousands of people, and then their closest advisers. Palin is smart enough, and seems tough enough, to do the job. She also seems to be more of an "America First" kind of chick, instead of "Citizen of the World", we're (US) wrong, you're (Every Other Country) right. There is no way to know who's ready. Hell, few were ever really ready, but they were able to do the job, with the help available to them. And, even though the OP wishes to keep Obama out of the subject, it's impossible. If Palin is not qualified, then Obama isn't either. Period. No, because it would most likely mean that McCain died. And, it is quite a leap from where she was a month ago, to the top job. However, she's not running for the top job. So, in conclusion... Comfortable? No Uncomfortable enough to vote for Obama instead? Hell no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUforREDSKINS Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 My thinking on keeping Obama out of this is that if this were the situation, Obama would have already lost the election and therefore wouldn't even be in the picture.

Ax Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The premise of this statement is that the only way one is qualified to do a job is with experience. No, the premise of this statement, if I may quote Bill Buchanan, is that BOTH Palin, and Obama's foreign policy experience, amounts to having had breakfast at The International House of Pancakes.

Burgold Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Can't really say that, Ax. Obama has been to more countries, met with more foreign leaders, and helped author major nuclear nonproliferation legislation. That means Obama is a little bit beyond the Rootie, tootie, fresh and fruity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardi gras skin Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 My question is, can you put politics aside and say that you are honestly comfortable with this women being the President? No. I have the same confidence in her that I do in Obama. Neither of them have shown me that they have the qualifications to be president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Palin is not qualified, then Obama isn't either. Period. I think that's his point, if you thought neither we're qualified, then you would vote no because you don't think SHE is qualified. You could just as easily go start a thread that asks if Obama is qualified enough to be commander in chief and look at only that in a vacuum.
