    GOP Senator: A 'stretch' to Say Palin Is Qualified

    GOP senator: A 'stretch' to say Palin is qualified

    WASHINGTON - Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said his party's vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, lacks foreign policy experience and called it a "stretch" to say she's qualified to be president.


    "She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview published Thursday by the Omaha World-Herald. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."


    Could Palin lead the country if GOP presidential nominee John McCain could not?

    SNIP

    '...Hagel took issue with that argument. "I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia,'" he said. "That kind of thing is insulting to the American people."

        Stormy, your constant snark and sarcasm is getting very old. It would be one thing if you were a liberal, but you just seem to hate everyone in politics.

        The funny thing is, she still is better qualified than Obama.
        For every one hundred men you send us,
        Ten should not even be here.
        Eighty are nothing but targets.
        Nine of them are real fighters;
        We are lucky to have them, they the battle make.
        Ah, but the one. One of them is a warrior.
        And he will bring the others back.

          Her experience is on par with Obama's, and he is trying to become the head guy and not second in line.

          Also, my inlaws are from NE, and he is not exaclty liked by the conservatives in the state.
          A Veteran is someone who at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America, for an amount up to, and including their life. That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that fact!

            Of course he isn't liked by them. He isn't a raving lunatic.

              This sort of sentiment is going to broaden and deepen all the way up to November 4th. The Palin gimmick, like all marketing gimmicks, will be short lived. And in the end people will be wondering what the hell was I thinking?.

                VP shouldn't be taken lightly. Especially not in this case, given McCain's advanced age. You really can't say "Eh, its OK to be inexperienced as a VP, but NOT President!". Its all or nothing...

                  Spoken like a true easterner.

                  I'm talking about the farmers, ranchers and CITIZENS of the state, not the power people. They can't stand him because THEY elected him then he went to DC and abandoned them.

                    That's the position of those supporting Obama. Most McCain/Palin people are willing to concede BHO and Palin are equally experienced, yet, they think it is wrong for her to be the VEEP but OK for Obama to run for POTUS.

                      What are the qualifications for VP?

                      I seem to remember an Age minimum, and a requirment of being a US Citizen.

                      these guys are not interviewing and hiring their peers. They are supposed to be accepting the will of the people.

                      M-11
                      “All men dream...... But not equally..
                      Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find it is vanity;
                      but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
                      for they act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible.....”

                        Sgt. Elmer, you've just about summed it up, perfectly. I'm all for a federal government that doesn't interfere in states rights, and it's only function is to control inter-state commerce, mint coin, and safe-guard our borders. This would require the least amount of politicians to run smoothly. And, even those politicians, elected from the average citizens, should attend to their office duties for no more than one term.

                        Yes, I like Palin more so than Obama. And, given the qualifications from the above, I'd rather vote for her, than Obama. Why? Because she doesn't come into politics with baggage, besides the she-said, he-said issues at her state level, she doesn't owe anyone in Washington.

                        Matter of fact, she was chosen because of such a background. And only now, the neo-cons are shaping her, and molding her to their way of thinking. I believe she will give-in to their bullying ways, and lose her political innocense rather quickly. She has already been screened by AIPAC, and approved, after having sworn allegiance to back Israel, come hell or high water.

                          So, in effect, the two sides cancel each other out. Logically, that is...

                            I would ask if you were serious about this, but I know you are. I dare to ask....how?

With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck."                             --Thomas Jefferson

                              This is news? What about a former President and two current senators (including a current VP running mate) calling a Presidential candidate "unqualified"??
