[Vision2020] Gov. Palin Foreign Policy Experience

[g. crabtree]

I believe that ego aside, no one is truly "ready" to be president. There is no school that prepares one to assume the mantle of leader of the free world and CEO of the worlds largest economy. I believe that the best I can do is look for the man with the best judgment whose views most closely match my own. A track record of some type doesn't hurt either. McCain has generally been good for promoting smaller government, reducing waste, a strong military, supporting the second amendment, and promoting life. He's far from perfect as McCain-Feingold, his stance on immigration,and his having fallen for the anthropogenic global warming scam has demonstrated. Palin seems to share his good points and, as near as I can tell, doesn't follow his folly.

Barry hasn't much of a record for folks to base their decision on and what record he has is for an ever expanding government and wealth redistribution with no end in sight. Biden seems to think that the big O's world view is just ducky. Yes, he has more Washington inside the beltway experience than Palin but what good is that if you are consistently wrong on the majority of the issues?

To me the larger risk is that should BHO/Biden be elected they will, like Bubba & Big Al, be soft on terrorism and neglect the military. He will appoint supreme court judges that can find the darnedest things when they read the constitution. He will tax whatever prosperity our nation has right down the crapper and will do all that's in his power to compromise our standing as number one nation on the planet.

        Gary,

        If you wish to believe that Palin is ready to be president, that is your right and your vote to cast. But I think a vote for McCain/Palin is a bigger risk for the country than Obama/Biden.

        I think Obama is the best choice for this nation at this point in time, for various reasons.

        I will be voting Obama for President, and Republican most the way down the rest of the ballot.  

        Best Regards,

        Donovan

          Careful, D. You are perilously close to joining Mathews and Olbermann in the damp panties and tingling extremities sycophants club. As to the matter of executive experience, your new deity, the Obaminator, has none. The sad fact is that the bottom of the GOP ticket has more chops then the top of the Democrat parties.

                  Palin has zero foreign policy experience. She has no authority as a governor to conduct international treaties or regulate international commerce. 

                  Obama is not much more experienced than Palin. But Obama is a genius, has a JD degree from Harvard, and degree from Columbia. He is an expert on the constitution, international law, and has been able to do something that no other person has, politically defeat the Clintons in an election. Other countries love Obama, they have never even heard of Palin. Obama commands crowds ten times the size of the town Palin governed. How long someone has sat in a chair or held a position is not the skill set needed to be President. Leadership is the most important aspect of a President, and Obama has that in spades. 

                  Best Regards,

                  Donovan

Thanks!  You have such a way with words and such respect for your 
neighbors.  Perhaps you have spent entirely too much time in Warcraft.

My mistake on your European heritage.  From a correspondence a year 
or so ago, I had been led to believe that you transmigrated from 
Europe to US.  You have made several references to how much you 
prefer Europe to the US.  It does make me wonder, if you love the UK 
so much, why are you here?
