1. Look at her performance as Mayor. And she was the governor of Alaska. Hardly gives her experience needed to run such a diverse country as the USA.
2. No it's not she thinks the war is a crusade from god.
3. In a speech, she said she couldn't believe Barack Obama cared whether "suspected terrorists" were read their rights or not.

1. Look at Obamas performance as mayor..I mean as governor..I mean as..2 years in the senate where he mostly voted present? And again she is running for VP, not president as Obama is.
2. lol that doesnt mean she believes god decides the course of the country, can i see the quote on this too..youtube video or something?
3. That is it? That is what makes you believe she "doesnt care about Miranda Rights"?
So you believe that Palin believes if an American is arrested they shouldn't be read their rights, correct?

That would be the essence of what she said.
So enlighten me on how Obama has so much more experience then Palin.
Can you post the quote or speech she said that from?
Again..So you believe that Palin believes if an American is arrested they shouldn't be read their rights, correct? That is essentially it if you said "she doesnt care about miranda rights"?

Well she said she was amazing that Barack Obama cared about it.

What are we living in the 1700's? Does it take 3 months to get news from New York to Alaska? Also please tell me what experience Obama has over Palin in managing things.

So post the interview or something..I want to read the entire interivew and get a context.

Cared about it for terrorists that is. It is ridiculous to make the accusation "She doesnt care about Miranda Rights" and you know it.

You really think Alaska deals with the same issues as the USA?

If people really think McCain is going to drop dead on day 1, then they're likely not going to vote for him anyway. Nor should they.
The holy war thing is relatively unsubstantiated. Gibson misquoted Palin, then insisted he didn't; and then she gave an explanation that seemed valid enough, essentially praying that what they're doing is right. Again it seems like something that would occur in most churches; just generally not over pipelines.
Saying she's more qualified in executive experience while technically true, ignores that Obama clearly has a greater grasp of global and national issues, which is equally if not more important than having written a budget before. While not necessarily lacking in intellect, she seems to obviously have lacked an inquisitiveness for foreign affairs.
Which is not to say that I think the latter has particularly sterling credentials either, as a one-term Senator who doesn't Chair any major committees and hasn't really offered any legislative landmarks.
Ironically the person most "qualified" for the Presidency is probably Joe Biden.

I would hope most churches would pray mainly for peace and that our soldiers come home alive.

Sure..do you really think a Senator from Illinois knows how to deal with the issue of drilling for domestic oil? I bet a Governor from Alaska does.

I actually havent heard that at all, or seen it posted on other forums that I frequent..I would just like to read the entire thing and get a context of the quote.
Originally posted by Aster Phoenix"Suspected" terrorists. I guess in Palins book, the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing is just something other people care about.
Again..does Palin want to rid Americans of the Miranda Rights in your eyes?

Of course it is..wasnt there a poll stating most Americans care about the Economy more then they do the wars going on in the upcoming election? And hell wasnt Iraq "fought for oil" anyway? 😉
Plus again..Palin is running for VP.
McCain is more then qualified in the foreign affairs department, which would be one of his main jobs at President.

That doesn't make it a meaningful skill in any but the most twisted sense.

Iraq is domestic?
The US government is drilling for oil there?

I disagree with him being better at foreign affairs, especially considering that Obama went around the Middle East and Europe managing to draw crowds for his speeches even there.

Sure it does.

It was more of a joke. You know how the Democrats whine we went to Iraq for oil and thats it? Well Palin would be able to get domestic drilling off the ground and we wouldn't need foreign oil and we wouldnt need the war in Iraq? Get it?

So Obama can draw a bunch of hippies and liberal Europeans to his speeches, so that makes him more qualified to deal with men like Putin then McCain who has spent decades in the senate?
Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosI interpreted it as praying that what they're doing is right. Which doesn't seem like something uncommon. I'm pretty sure somewhere in there she prays for soldiers' safety.
I would hope most churches would pray mainly for peace and that our soldiers come home alive.
Originally posted by KidRockEnlighten me on what exactly McCain has with regards to foreign policy credentials? What insight exactly does chairing the Indian Affairs Committee give him over others?

Originally posted by KidRockThe continental shelf has maybe 90 billion bbl of oil and the ANWR area only has an estimated 5 billion bbl of recoverable crude oil over a ten year period. The US consumes something along the lines of 20 million bbl/day and growing. Your country is not going to become energy independent by drilling in Alaska or the OCS.

And how long will it take for us to get fully energy independent on wind, solar or nuclear? There must be a short term plan before we reach the long term goal.
Are those even Obamas plans? I don't know..all I hear is "I will find alternative energy sources"..but he never says what, or how.

What do you think others think and feel about our president. Hmm?
Irrelevant
Reducing consumption would presumably help. SUVs are also unsafe around corners.
Neither of your candidates have particularly viable long term plans for the impending oil crunch. Obama's seems more environmentally sound though; while somewhat naively optimistic about sudden breakthroughs in alternative fuels. The latter also applies to McCain's though regarding alternative fuels.
