Governor Sarah Palin

National Polemic Forums: Burning Giraffe posts an article, "McCain Right for a Change".

Democrats have already begun to make the mistake of attacking Governor Palin’s experience, which has warranted an AP article entitled, Palin’s Age, Inexperience Rival Obama’s. Wherein Ron Fournier writes, “If Obama is an empty suit, as McCain has suggested, is Palin suited for the Oval Office herself?” This will shape a most beneficial debate for the McCain Camp, as the talking heads argue over who is less experienced, Governor Palin or Senator Obama. The contrast is so slight that Obama can’t win. Yes, Senator Obama has slightly more political experience than Governor Palin, but most of that experience has been earned in his bid for the presidency. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin has been governing Alaska, carrying overwhelming popularity and approval with both Republicans and Democrats. In fact, if you want to talk about Governing experience, Sarah Palin, unlike McCain, Biden, and Obama, actually has some.

Why in the bloody hell would you choose a candidate that was currently being investigated for ethics violations? Seriously, 300,000,000 people in this country and your running mate is under investigation? Was everyone else unavailable for the job?

Political Hotwire: Bluegrass posts a thread entitled, "Palin: Support Teaching Creationism Alongside Evolution".

The more research one does on Palin, the more they can find a rather undistinguished record, as she rarely supports anything outside the standard GOP talking points.

But if one delves further, they will find that Palin supports Creationism alongside evolution in public schools. Creationism isn't science.

Mark Warner: The Infrastructure Democrat

Burning Giraffe has posted an excellent article @ National Polemic on Mark Warner's Speech at the DNC Convention.

Excerpt:

Mark Warner is an Infrastructure Democrat. You will not hear him bashing America as a depraved relic of an outdated Capitalist Age. You will not hear Mark Warner speaking of America's problems as the consequent of American greed. What you will hear, what you have heard for years, is Mark Warner speaking of establishing a foundation for American prosperity. We can debate political ideology for ages to come, but what we can't argue with are results. Results are what Mark Warner gave Virginians as Governor. Results are what Mark Warner would give Americans as President. Results are something we haven't seen from the Republican Party under the Rule of President Bush, nor from the Democratic controlled congress over the last two years, nor from the brief political record of Barack Obama. When the Democrats get serious about governing this nation and setting forth a real platform Americans can get behind, Mark Warner will be waiting... waiting to do for the country what he did for Virginia.
