Just what are Sarah Palin's qualification?

[Playboypenguin]

Palin was the mayor of a small town (Wasilla pop. 6000)

Since when is 6000 people considered a small town in Alaska?

[Brian Pfleuger]

Obama was an Illinois state senator and a US Senator for, what 9 months?, before running for President. If you say anything else about him your being racist.

Third biggest city in the state, I think.

Halo,

I do not see in that article where is shows any legitimate charges against the trooper.

[nate45]

She is smart, pretty and freindly. She is the Govener of Alaska. Her political ideology is libertarian and conservative. She is pro gun rights.



She likes hunting, fishing, firearms and the great outdoors.

I like her better that McCain and way, way, way better than BHO and Blowhard Biden.

Thats qualifications enough for me.

[Brian Pfleuger]

Dude, she is NOT pretty.

She is Gods gift to her lousy, rotten, no-good 2nd luckiest man on the planet husband! Man, what a women. I'm moving to Alaska as soon as I can figure out how to stay here at the same time and live two lives.

Halo,

I do not see in that article where is shows any legitimate charges against the trooper.

Here's one:

The family had alleged the threat in 2005, before Palin became governor. They said Wooten had told Palin's sister he would shoot their father if he got the sister a lawyer.

Wooten denied saying anything like that. But a trooper investigation concluded he did, although it wasn't a crime because he didn't threaten the father directly. Wooten's actions did violate trooper policy, the investigator found.

But really, isn't the main "stink" that she sacked the Public Safety Commissioner? His insubordination by seeking additional funding from the legislature is certainly one reason too.

I reckon she is about as qualified as the VP candidate on the Dem side....oh, wait a sec, I meant the PRESIDENTIAL candidate on the Dem side...

"Heartbeat away", mein arsch...:barf:

I think it would be hard to prove that she fired one person because he failed to fire another. I would be more concerned with her denial that she even tried to get the trooper fired then her admitting that her aids did indeed try to get the trooper fired after she was caught and not being straightforward about it from the beginning.

Where is the basis for the claims he threatened the entire family, drove while drunk, tasered his son, etc? Although this should really be a separate thread.

The best things I can say about Palin are that she's PRO-gun, pro-gov't accountability, I agree with her wholeheartedly on social issues and she adds enough firepower to McCain's ticket to sink Obama/Biden-two of the most anti-gun putzes to ever come down the pike.

Well, I agree, it's certainly arguable that she muffed the punt from a PR perspective. I am more concerned about whether or not she truly did abuse her office, and personally I don't think she did even though it might superficially appear so. Despite having a personal connection to the issue, I really don't think it is abuse of power to demand an explanation as to why that trooper hadn't been disciplined. Is it much different than if some no-name citizen kept bombarding the governor's office with letters wanting to know why nothing had been done about a state trooper who threatened their family, and in fact the troopers' own investigation had confirmed the allegation? If the governor is aware of negligence within their administration, they are obliged to deal with it.

Is that first photo suppose to be of Palin? Because I am sure it is German born actor/model Sabine Ehrenfeld that did the Overstock.com TV ads a few years ago. Here you go, some more photos of her. Actually I never seen any of Palin's modeling photos.

NOT PALIN

[Playboypenguin]

Halo,

I agree. She should have probably stayed out of it though...and she definitely should not have involved her staff.

[JeffLrrp]

Dipper: GREAT MOVIE BTW. Im assuming nobody caught that his little snippet was from one of the greatest movies of all time: A Few Good Men. Im sure he was joking though, and it wasn't a personal attack on PBP.

I in no way took it as such.

Sabine Ehrenfeld

Sorry I just googled Palin and several of those popped up saying it was Palin. However that does not change the fact that Sarah is a hottie.

[doug66]

Where do you go to get qualified to be president? I'd say being a governor is as about as close as you can get to prez experience.


And as I see it she is the only hope I got to stand up in D.C. for things I believe in, mainly The Right To Keep And Bear Arms. But I suppose some of you guys think the NRA has sold you down the river.

IMO if you are a gun owner and you wanna keep it that way vote McCain/Palin

[TheBluesMan]

Sarah is a hottie.

Now there is an example of erudite political commentary. :barf:

This thread seems to be centered on her looks, rather than her qualifications. This is so shallow and pointless that I find any further discussion embarrassing.

Thread closed.

Thanks Nate45. I didn't think you did it intentionally. There are a lot of doctored and misidentified photos of Palin on the net. Still I would take Sabine over Palin. And Sabine is a competition pistol shooter.
