McCain chose a running mate who doesn't understand
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 11:14 PM by FLDem5
the basic principle/nomenclature that is the reason her oldest son is on his way to Iraq. Possibly to his death. Think about that.

They can spin all they want, but the Bush Doctrine is the key point history will remember about his Presidency. And she fudged it like someone attempting to fake their way through an oral exam.

McCain chose someone who is touted as an 'energy expert' who flubs her statement on Alaska's Energy contribution to this country. She claims "…I've been working these years as the governor of this state that produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy..."

Domestic energy production (which is where the 20% number comes from) and domestic energy supply (which is what she is saying the 20% is) are not the same.

Alaska produces 20% of our domestic oil, but that is only 3.5% of our supply.


Is it important to you that an assistant in the operating room understands basic medical concepts and terminology? Is it important to you that the co-pilot of your plane knows which instrument is for what?

1. What the Republicans will do is say that "the lady that loves to kill things",
that's running for the 'pubis' VP doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is, so how can Obama accuse McCain of continuing the Bush Doctrine if the 'forced birth lady' doesn't have a clue?
:dem: I use pubis because re-pubic-rats are so obsessed with everybody's pubic area.

That's what the GOP has reduced this election to: McCain's beautiful shiny medals and the incompetent MILF.

5. I agree.
she was hired, not for what she can bring to the table for the country, but to excite people who prefer not to think too hard.
