Palin as VP doesn't matter (says email)
Maybe some of you might remember, I have been emailing stuff to my husband's republican union (oxymoron) friends. My husband forwarded me this today, I don't know if his friend wrote it or it's a forwarded email but wondering what type of response would be the best?

I know the obvious is to bring up McCain's age/health so YES the VP pick is very important, I do have a president's fact book so I know I can pull info about past "govenor" presidents to show they had more experience and more than a bachelor's degree in journalism.

Anything else I am missing?




Palin's work as governor gives her the experience to run

> and your a governor the experience with that job is at the

> CEO,Board of Directors Head,Senator,House Rep.,Foreign
> Diplomat,Member ofPresidents Administration,Veep, even
> President of the Country and beyond. Many of our past

> Monroe-Andrew Jackson-Martin VanBuren-William Henery
> Harrison-John Tyler-James Knox Polk-Andrew Johnson-William
> McKinley-Theodore Roosevelt-William Howard Taft-Woodrow
> Wilson-Calvin Coolidge-Franklin Delano Roosevelt-James Earl
> Carter-Ronald Wilson Reagan-William Jefferson Clinton-George
> Walker Bush-18 in all that Fantastic company, if you ask

1. Those who were Governors before becoming president served
more than 20 months in the position.
And a part time mayor does not qualify one for VP or President. Moreover, it is about knowledge of world order and events.

All this twit knows about foreign relations is she can see Russia from Alaska.

2. Yes, that's something worth mentioning. I have had other people
say she is a governor and so was blah blah blah forgetting to mention the others were govenors for YEARS as opposed to Palin's less than 2 years.

Hey he put at the end send me a thought... This should be fun

4. John Dean also said that legally, she isn't qualified. I guess
you would google Dean/Palin, I'm sure his statement will be there...

6. It is about McCain
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 05:48 PM by FrenchieCat
McCain's "Country First" Slogan is a LIE.

He doesn't give a shit about this country.
He cares about getting elected.
That's why he picked a dumbass.....
5 colleges in 6 years does not say unusual intelligence.
Add the fact that both McCain and Palin lie with little effort
it sums up to a net gain of two losers. Period.

8. Don't pay attention to the guy behind the curtain. She is a plant to take over McLame job as
president after voting him out because of his mental decay.
