She also has more experience in shooting moose. How does that make her more qualified to be VP? She doesn't even know the JOB of VP!

1. What experience did she gain from signing paychecks? It makes no logical sense.
The word "executive" sounds big and important to her followers, and that's about it.

10. None that qualifies her to be VP. But it's their talking point.
She also has more experience at giving birth. Oh yeah-McCain added that she has a son in the military and THAT qualifies her to be VP. :rofl:

18. I've given birth, I've had 3 sons in the military, 2 of my grandchildren are
currently in the military and I was once President of our local PTA. Can I be VP?

2. "Executive experience" is nonsense. By that "metric,"
a small-town mayor of two weeks is more qualified to be President than a Senator of thirty years.

She's "in charge" of the Senate and will get in and roll up her sleeves and make some good policy changes....yeah right..... like the Senate Majority Leader, however that will be in the new Congress (hopefully someone more assertive than Reed) will allow that.

And the only person hammering her on that is Chris Matthews (oh-and Olbermann, too). She doesn't know what "pre-conditions" are, either.

But I didn't. I don't have $140,000 to buy another one.

8. Toot? Is she making fun of Obama's grandma?
Yes, I'm kidding. Although that's no dumber than her claim that Obama's "lipstick on a pig" remark was about her.

How she can go up on stage or sit down for an interview and spew this vile crap is beyond me.

23. It is not required to have held elective executive positions before
To be able to be President. Running a Senate office is "executive experience." Anyway big deal. Barbie's "experience" doesn't mean she did a good job of it or learned anything from it. She was a major of a town and has been a governor a couple of years. In spite of being able to see Russia, that involves no national or international issues and is very possibly useless for the presidency.

25. By her logic, Joe the Plumber has more experience than both she and Obama combined
just because he's been his own boss for a while. Joe the Plumber for President!

26. ANOTHER attempt by Republicans to DESTROY the system of checks and balances, by trying to make the
Executive Branch---and experience in it---seem SUPERIOR to citizens.
