Title: Palin Explains Her Qualifications: She Doesn't Have An Ivy League Education
Post by: blacken700 on November 23, 2009, 02:12:37 PM


Doesn't it bother her 'fans' that what comes out of her mouth never makes any sense? A perfect example of her word salad nonsense.
 As usual, she utters long run-on sentences that leave you wondering, "WTF did she just say?"How did O'Reilly keep from bursting out laughing?

Please tell me that wasn't a straight sentence.  hahahaha!!!!!!!  THIS is the future president according to 333???

We are in for some serious trouble if that is the case because apparently being smart is being 'elite' and having a 'fat resume' is a bad thing.  Just roll with the one page cover letter!

Education doesn't mean best for the job. Look at obama, he has screwed up more things in less than a year than any other pres coulda ever dreamed of!!! I dont realy care  if the president is illiterate as long as he or she has enough back bone to actualy follow through with their word and do whats best for america and legal americans.

Wow,then you have the highly educated Obama who only tries to rip America apart everytime he speaks.This Ivy league grad who cant start or end a sentance without adding his infamous "UMMMMMM,AHHHHHHHH,HMMMMMM" is seen as the brightest guy on the block by libs.However,if it isnt written for him he sounds like a blithering idiot.

I'm not a big Palin fan myself and probably wouldn't vote for her, but it does amuse me to no end to see the amount of fear she causes the libs.

And clearly Ivy League education can't be all that.  Look at the state our country's in now.

Look, sometimes the best Generals are not the dweebs who studied war gaming for millions of hours in a library. 

From what I can tell, Obama is too book smart for his own good and suffers from analysis paralysis to the point where he cant make an affirmative decision or lead on anything.

This woman's stupidity and horrendous public speaking ability would be hilarious if she weren't actually taken seriously by the uneducated right-wing morons she represents.

I know O'Reilly was sitting there with his Harvard degree thinking, " I cannot believe how stupid this woman is."

do you really think it's fear?  I mean I actually kind of like her, especially the way she looks :D  But some of the things she opens her mouth and says has me LMAO.  maybe you're right, maybe some are scared, but the only thing I get is laughing at her and especially those who think she would make a good president.  I'm willing to consider there is a right leaning candidate out there that would be a good president, but I just don't see it in Palin.  She really is a sexy joke.

I think they support her more because they believe liberals fear her.  They probably get off on that.  Of course they don't care what comes out of her mouth, they voted for Bush.  Her appeal is that they think she enrages liberals.

you might be right

would you say 333 fails into that category or do think that word salad rearranges itself inside his head and "makes sense" ?

I'm still not exactly sure what kind of crazy either of them are

I'm sure he probably likes the thought that liberals fear her.  They've been passing it around everywhere lately and they seem to really be excited at the notion which is probably helping her image on the right. 

"She probably ain't presidential material, but dern if dem libs don't fear her and she got her some wicked nice legs.  I'm votun fur her."

Look, Palin is just not an intelligent person. Anyone who says that she is an intelligent person is deserving of the same amount of respect I give her. You can fool yourself if you want, but everyone knows she has an appeal which is simply partisan.

Palin herself doesn't piss me off. It's just that people are willing to forego all self-respect in backing her. This is what pisses people off.

And God forbid we have leaders in this country with an education. That's the last thing we need.

Someone on this thread actually said they don't have a problem if the president is illiterate. OK, that's fine, but please don't vote.

I personally know of the owner of one of the businesses I represent that built a business from a garage to an over $70 million dollar a year business who never went to college that would wipe the floor with Obama/ Gore/ Biden combined on almost any issue.  

Al Gore is a fool BTW - and his foolishness is really showing with the climate hoax being revealed for the fraud it is.  

Biden?  Come on now.  

George Bush?  He went to Harvard and Yale and got better grades than John Kerry.

Obama is not brilliant.  That was a MSM lie that they perpetrated to justify someone with so little qualifications and experience being put forward for president. 

There is no evidence whatsoever of his brilliance on any level or in any part of his past.

Obama is clearly a great orator, he is clearly smart.

He is clearly not what he pretended to be at election time. I was up for Obama way over Clinton but now I wonder if Hillary wouldn't have been so bad after all - At least she had a set of balls.

I still maintain hat Palin would be terminal and that the old guy with the white hair (combed over) wouldn't have been that good.

Your point ?

My point is that using the schools someone went to is not a barometer of their being smart or not.  I think Palin is right on the basic issues.  Freedom, taxes, pro-business, pro-drilling & energy.      

While Obama maybe "smarter" than her book wise, his policy beliefs are just horrific and proven failures.  For someone being so "smart" he is very ignorant on many issues and is too convinced of his own greatness.  The man is a complete idiot on economics and many other issues and the evidence is everywhere you look.  EVERYWHERE!  Yet, because the MSM said he is "brilliant", idiots on this board think it is so.  Obama has never even tried a small claims case, written a law review article, written scholarly work, argued appellate cases, run a law firm, nothing whatsoever.    

Same with Jimmy Carter, the worst president of all time.  The brilliant nuclear scientist was a complete failure as a president because his policy beliefs are proven failures.  

I simply have no idea why some people are so enamored with someobne solely based on their academic credentials, when in most areas of life, business, etc, said credentials really dont matter all that much in terms of real life results.  

When people hire me to represent them, they could care less where I went to school.  They want results and the only issue is if I get the job done.  Thats it!  Sadly, when most of these self labeled "brilliant" people like Obama are put to that test, they fail miserably because they have never been accountable to results.

You do not need to use the schools to know that Palin has very little common sense - one of the attributes she aspires to have.

Let's be clear - there are school smarts and street smarts and all kind of other smarts.

I just don't see any kind of smarts in Palin.

Obama is not dumb, but he is far from brilliant.  He was sold as being brilliant, but clearly he is not.  There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of his brilliance on any level.  If there is, I would like for someone to point it out to me.  

On policies and issues, he is a disaster.  He is fueling UE even worse and everything he is doing is making things far far worse since his complete ignorance on economics is creating a climate of panic amongst businesses as to what their costs will be to fuel his ridiculous policies.

I don't think he was sold as brilliant, I never got that.  He was sold as not Bush, that is to say not stupid.  That was really the general feeling I had from watching things unfold day to day everyday in 08.  And McCain was just fucked because he was billed as the same as stupid.  The rest of your comment, my only reply is once again you didn't read my post or rather just replied with what you wanted to be a reply.

To be president, you have to be able to understand a HUGE array of topics, in some real depth.

I mean, just being a mayor...
running a city is a nightmare of laws, security, education, environment, water, garbage, economy, etc etc...

Now multiply that by 1000 and you're at the level of understanding a president must have.  I mean, mayors don't have to worry about other cities wanting to nuke them, ya know?

FOR ME, a person must show some ability to understand these thigns.   Getting an advanced degree would be a start.  Having a decade experience running a state might qualify.  But shit man... 18 months as Governor, and you want her to run the world?  Sorry.  Obama was barely qualified, with a law degree and 10 years in senates.  She, with a stint as mayor and a year as governor - no, just not experience.

You add that lack of experience to the fact she's failed to ever deliver anything remotely resembling an intellectual contribution to the world, and i ask you - Why would you give the most important job in the world to a person who has yet to prove herself?

I woudn't.  I would select a person like Mitt, with 20+ years of governing and advanced finance.  or a Rudy, with a decade of practically running a small country (NYC) and another decade learning the world thru his organization.  I would choose a huntsman, who knows chinese finance better than most and has run a state for a while, along with plenty of business experience.

I would NOT give the most powerful job on the planet to Palin, who has yet to prove herself in any experience or intellectual way.  All the spunk in the world doesn't give you those things.  I WOULD consider her to be a viable candidate in about ten years.  Not yet.

I guess you forgot governor and president of the enrgy commission, but that is beside the point.

And I said Obama was BARELY qualified - his record was 10 years making law and 7 teaching it, which did cover his legislative base.  His education was very good.  And he spend the last 2 years doing the foreign relations crash-course, which did bone him up on global issues.  HOPEFULLY Miss Palin is doing that now, but her cut-paste answers in interviews so far still show her lvl of understanding to be an inch deep.

But don't take my word for it.  America spoke on that one.  40% of Americans believe she is qualified to even be VP.

Besides, don't make this about comparing piles of shiit.  "Yes, palin sucks, but O sucks worse..."  They both suck ass, 33, accept it and maybe focus your energies on getting a QUALIFIED MFer in the white house in 2012 instead of trying to shine a better turd.

Nice try.  Regardless, I dont care about 2012.  i canre about the following:

1.  Defeating HCR and Cap & Tax
2.  2010 getting rid of Gilibrand & Reid
3.  2010 - GOP taking back the House of Reps.

There are some harsh facts to come to terms to in the US.

Hilllary - if she ever got in, it would taste of nepotism.
Obama - sounded smart, looks like the people calling 'empty suit' may have been right
Palin - dumb as a post - but sadly, so are a lot of voters.

For fucks sake USA - is this the BEST you can come up with ?

Palin should not even be a consideration - but she is because of the way your country has been dumbed down.

Let's look at a hypothetical - if Oprah decided to run her show until 2012 and also decided to push Palin all the way - with regular Palin slots and Palin briefed to not look as dumb as a moose - she'd get the top job.

Guys - where are the REAL leaders ?

I voted for Romney in the primary.  I have already said I would accept Bloomberg as President so long as he could be checked as far as guns go. 

As far as Palin goes, who the heck knows.  At this time, 5 years ago Obama was not even on the radar as far as the Presidency goes.

Many historians would point out that USSR self destructed from their own failed policies (including getting caught up in Afghanistan).

They would also point out that Reagan exploded the debt and the deficit and raised taxes on the working man (raised social security withholding rate) and then borrowed from social security surplus to offset the tax breaks he gave to the wealthy and corporations.

but hey let's forget all that and make up an idealized version of history and pretend it's reality

Unfreaking real straw.  Only you can post such trash.

1.  Obama is sending 34,000 troops to Afghanistan - you are silent.

2.  Obama is exploding the debt - you are silent.

3.  Obama is raising taxes on the working man - you are silent.


BTW - Reagan and a Democrat congress who put those bills on his desk to sign in case your memory is so shot you forgot that.

The fact is that Reagan helped the USSR speed up its collapse.  He forced them to spend themselves into collapse on military expenditures and I dont know too many people who disagree with that.  Communism is a failure no matter where it is tried and the USSR was destined to fail since it was an evil empire as Reagan put it. 

As far as the spending, I agree that he helped explode the debt, but you cant ignore the congress and senate who were just as culpable in that regard.

isn't that exactly what I said

now go do some more research and you'll see that Reagan raised the SS rate specifically to create a surplus which he could then borrow to plug up the gaps in revenue from his tax cuts on the rich and corporations

Again, the democrats who passed those laws are equally to blame since the president cant do those things alone. 

BTW - SS threshhold is going to have to go up to pay for SS.

Reagan spent money on the military which destroyed the Soviet Union.So his deficit was caused by  defeating our enemy.Under Carter the top tax rate was 70% by the time Reagan left office it was 28%.By cutting taxes he helped create the biggest economic boom in history and took unemployment from 20% to about 4%.Please,your left wing revisionist history falls just like the Berlin wall did.

As far as raising taxes on the working man,a lie,he dropped the tax rates for everyone after Carter taxed this country into oblivian.By the way,no mention of how Carter left the hostages in Iran to rot and THE DAY REAGAN WAS INAUGERATED THEY WERE RELEASED?

Now,the left called him stupid,senile an idiot just like they do about anyone who they dont see as an elitist.The idea that the left celebrates the intelligance of fools like JOHN kERRY BECAUSE HE PUTS ON HIS THURSTON HOWELL ACCENT AND INSULTS REGAN TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR JUDGEMENT.

They find 1 post out of 15,000, which equates to .000066% of my posts being arguably objectionable, and now chose to brand me with what they believe to be the scarlet letter "R".

Its a complete joke and a farce. 

As far as Palin goes, I have always been completely honest about my feelings about her.  She has a ton of talent, needs work, and is not ready yet.  I like her policies, positions on issues, and admire what she has accomplsihed in life given her circumstances.

Look, Palin is just not an intelligent person. Anyone who says that she is an intelligent person is deserving of the same amount of respect I give her. You can fool yourself if you want, but everyone knows she has an appeal which is simply partisan.

Palin herself doesn't piss me off. It's just that people are willing to forego all self-respect in backing her. This is what pisses people off.

And God forbid we have leaders in this country with an education. That's the last thing we need.

Someone on this thread actually said they don't have a problem if the president is illiterate. OK, that's fine, but please don't vote.

The issue isn't whether they have an education. It's the rather foolish assumption than an Ivy League education equates to good common-sense policies and judgment, with regards to the issues of our country.

Obama's Ivy League education doesn't change the fact that he has employed some of the DUMBEST policies in the history of this country. And, he's only been in office less than a year.

That education ain't translating to real-world results. And as long as it doesn't, chirping about how "smart" Obama or any other politician with a Harvard or Yale degree means absolutely NOTHING.

So if she's not ready after 20 months of being governor, as well as her energy and mayoral work, what meaningful experience do you expect her to obtain in the next 2 years to justify your Palin 2012 bumper sticker push?

Obama wasn't ready either. That didn't stop him from getting to the White House.

The difference is that Palin, in my view, will use common sense and kept our taxes low and kill nonsense like the stimulus bill.

I'd like to see Mike Huckabee give it another run. And, a Huckabee/Palin (or Palin/Huckabee) ticket would sound quite nice to me.
