What failures? The only "failures" are those of the Democrat party arguing for defeat in Iraq, claiming the surge would not work, falsely suggesting we are in a recession, supporting a philanderer who cheated on his wife while President, a party that sounds more like the Osama propaganda machine than Americans.

While Democrats rant about budget deficits, their new majority has added another $100 billion to the deficit without a whimper from these new found Liberal budget hawks.

Democrats are the definition of failure. The lost the last two elections, couldn’t pass a balanced budget if their lives depended on it, can’t get enough support to impeach Bush or Cheney, can’t get enough support to stop the war in Iraq as promised and can’t seem to get enough support in an election year where Americans appeared to be ready to hand them the Presidency.

Please share what "failures" you are desperately trying to project onto Republicans that have not been shared by Democrats. I can't wait to see the list.

What did Biden and Hilary say about Obama?

Biden Says Obama Not Ready for Presidency
August 23, 2008
Biden Says Obama Not Ready for Presidency Shirley Buxton

ABC’S GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: You were asked, “Is he ready?” You said, “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.”

JOE BIDEN: I think that I stand by the statement.

ANNCR: And what does he say about John McCain?

BIDEN: I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off.
Tennesseefree.com Joe Biden, on Barack Obama: Not Ready for the Presidency (but John McCain is)

Today, Clinton was at a campaign rally in Providence, Rhode Island, and she mocked Obama and his message of hope and change in a very theatrical, over-the-top manner.

  • She had about one year worth of experience as a state program bureaucrat.
  • She has a journalism degree from the University of Idaho.
  • She is a former sports reporter.
  • She lost a bid for Lt. Governor in 2002.

Obama's background:
  • First term U.S. Senator almost four years experience.
  • Seven years experience as an Illinois state senator.
  • Graduated in tops of his classes from the University of Columbia and Harvard with a law degree.
  • Served as President of the Harvard Law Review.
  • Taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for almost twelve years.
  • Had one failed bid for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Palin has 2+ years of experience performing the duties of an executive

Obama has 0 years of experience performing the duties of an executive

An engineer that works on designing a new car may have 9 years "experience" in a general sense compared to a person whose ran a small start up car business for 3 years.

However if a car company is looking for an EXECUTIVE, the person with 3 years of experience as an EXECUTIVE is technically more experienced for THAT JOB than the guy whose 9 years of experience in the field has nothing to do with running the business.

Palin actually has experience in doing duties and jobs specifically related to the duties and jobs of the position.

Obama has experience that may lend themselves to help him in his job, but no specific experience in the duties and actual actions of that position.

Obama was an elected state legislator of the state of Illinois from 1997-2004, while teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago.
Plain was an elected mayor of a town of 8,00 from 1996-2006, while taking her sons to hockey.

Obama was elected to Senate in 2004.
Palin was elected Governor of Alaska in 2006.

What exactly gives Palin more experience?
Senate = LEGISLATIVE
Governor = EXECUTIVE
President = EXECUTIVE

Negative. She was elected in November of 06. She has less than two years experience in serious government. Barack has almost four at the federal level. Add to that Barack has almost eight at the state level. She was a city council woman and mayor of a town less than 6,000.

I can't wait to see all of you justify her lack of experience after you rolled around on the ground frothing over how "inexperienced" Obama was.

Re: Mccain picks Sarah Palin as VP!!

I'm confused...where's DisneyDude or PeteEU running around asking "Is Barack Obama more intouch with the common person than Palin".

Oh wait...she's the enemy now, so now its time to try and paint people that are "just kind of like average americans" as insignificant, unexperienced, unimportant dolts that may be good enough for a chairmenship in a state but isn't anywhere near qualified to be president because she didn't go to harvard and is "hockey mom"

She's certainly more in touch than McCain.
