A lot of times opinions are massive leaps in logic. I mean if somebody sat down and analyzed obamas qualifications vs palins and their policies I woulda been happy. That wont work because even if you list "facts" people will they debate whether this persons facts hold more water than this persons facts. Asura.Catastrophe said: You can't say what I said about Sarah Palin isn't of legitimate policy concern. Especially to the Tea Party. ^ Sylph.Kimble said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Ramuh.Thunderz said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Ramuh.Thunderz said: Better anyways what is up with all the politics thread anyways and can we get some that isn't focused on US politics lol I'm actually trying to move it beyond that by getting people to use facts and examples that actually lead to reasonable conclusions.

If I say Sarah Palin was a governor that is a fact. If i say Sarah Palin was a good governor that's an opinion. If I say Sarah Palin is qualified to be president because she was a governor that is not a fact. If I say that being a governor is more qualification than not being a governor that could be a fact potentially, however you could argue that not being something could be beneficial. I think you get the point that it depends on the presentation. Cerberus.Zandra said: Leviathan.Chaosx said: Cerberus.Zandra said: When you argument makes no more sense, resort to name calling... oh the intollerance.... Intolerant to bigots, racists, murder, rape. The majority of the tea party is 3/4 of those things (not including rape, I hope) so yeah people are allowed to be intolerant of them. Leviathan.Chaosx said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Ramuh.Vinvv said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Leviathan.Chaosx said: Ok I'll try to be as calm as possible with this. Barack Obama has degrees in politcal science and a law degree. Sarah Palin has a degree in communications. If you still think for a moment that he is less unqualified, possibly more so than Sarah Palin, then you are delusional. I have a BS in political science and one class away from another one in law. When I'm 35 and old enough to be president then I will have the same educational qualifications as him. Oh and I'm on the student government just like him. I'm also in the International Model United Nations Conference. I actually have had more leadership than him during my time in school. What school I go to doesn't matter. Knowledge is knowledge regardless of what you get it, I think its *** delusional to think the Ivy League is any better of a school. I don't think I'll ever be qualified to be president because I don't think I'll be in a critical leadership position such as governor. Which school you get a degree does matter. From things like requirements of graduation to entrance selection, it does matter. Phoenix.Excelior said: Fenrir.Weewoo said: I think Sarah Palin's documented interviews, quotes and other antics captured on record speak for themselves as far as her intelligence and qualifications go. It's possible to be a bad speaker and still be intelligent. You ever think maybe she was just nervous as ***? Cerberus.Zandra said: Ramuh.Vinvv said: Asura.Baroma said: Is she is a joke, why are people so intrigued by her every action? Lol now she has a series on TLC "Nail'n pali... I mean Palin's Alaska" Not that she did outside of hanging on McCains shirt tails and lolAlaska You must be joking, she's the most powerful woman in politics right now esp after last Tuesday. She is a figure head of the Tea party, which in case you missed it just took over the House. In 2 years she could derail the republican run for the presidency by running 3rd party, so you'd better believe everyone is taking her seriously now. Only retards (I'd say and rednecks, but they fall under the first category).

This is an article that says last april they met and had a talk. Who cares? Where does it say Geithner 'sought(seeked?) advice from Jon Stewart'? You are just as bad as Fox news adding some bs to the news to put a spin on it then selling it like it really happened.

I think it was more about a balancing a checkbook more than not handling the job. 125k salary as gov, but amassed 500k in legal bills. I wouldve done the same thing if given the oportunity, to go rogue (tongue in cheek) and make millions elsewhere.

You are just as bad as Fox news adding some bs to the news to put a spin on it then selling it like it really happened. Jon Stewart is influential in America, so we took the opportunity for the two to meet and to discuss the economy,” Treasury spokesman Steve Adamske said in an e-mail yesterday. Thats the point of my OP, did he ask for advice? (The "?" is in topic for a reason) and i dont have full cable TV, just basic cable and internet. (read: No FOXNEWS) hardly ever watch it anyways. but i do get a fuzzy ESPN channel, which im thankful for.

I guess she can just quit the presidency when she feels she can make more money. I mean its only 500k a year. Lol yeah in theory she would but in the interview she did say she Wanted to be president one day.
~ Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come. ~ Og Mandino Phoenix.Excelior said: Ramuh.Thunderz said: Sylph.Kimble said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Ramuh.Thunderz said: Phoenix.Excelior said: Ramuh.Thunderz said: Better anyways what is up with all the politics thread anyways and can we get some that isn't focused on US politics lol Facts can never be opinions.

It doesn't matter what school you went to except for when you get out of college for the first time. People don't give a ***what your grades were or where you went to school. They just care that you can do the job. Having Harvard on your transcripts does look really good but will matter very little in the end. I don't think Harvard is privy to some kind of knowledge that no other school in the world has. I think when I study consitutional law I'm studying the same constitution and court cases that harvard would study. Maybe there would be better teachers at Harvard but teachers don't qualify as additional knowledge. I think there are some people who go to community college smarter than those are harvard. I think most people at community college are smarter than George Bush and he want to Yale. |
