Bogus Experience Argument

Supporters of the Messiah are trying to seize on the supposedly limited experience of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to argue against her election as vice president. The argument won't wash as it is demonstrably bogus.

In the first place, as is set forth in the post immediately below this one, Ms. Palin has far more real world experience than either of the two men who comprise the Democrat ticket. Neither of them has ever done anything in the real world outside politics. They are utterly devoid of accomplishments.

Even in the political world, neither of the Democrats has any executive experience. Neither has ever run anything other than his mouth. Their experiences are limited to serving in legislative bodies -- houses of gasbags who talk and talk and talk and talk and . . . . They are utterly devoid of any accomplishments.

Even as mayor of a small town, Ms. Palin was in a position in which she was responsible for making decisions and acting on them. She did well enough in that role to win election to the governorship of the geographically largest state in America, where she again was responsible for making decisions and acting on them. By all accounts, she has discharged her gubernatorial responsibilities superbly and earned the approval of 80% of her constituents by doing so. That, incidentally, is about ten times the approval rating enjoyed by the Democrat controlled Congress that has spawned the Democrat ticket.


The same dolts who seek to diminish Ms. Palin also may seek to argue that Senator McCain's experience also is limited to serving in the U.S. Senate, the ultimate house of gasbags. But this ignores his having served in the military as an officer with command responsbilities that required him regularly to make and implement real world life or death decisions.
