Democrats say Palin mimics Bush divisiveness

[CrimsonWhite]

This looks like full panic mode to me.

(CNN) -- Democrats accused Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin of mirroring "divisive" attacks by President Bush Wednesday night and said showed she wasn't qualified to be on the ticket.

"The speech that [Alaska] Gov. Palin made was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush's speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we've heard from George Bush for the last eight years," said Bill Burton, the campaign spokesman for Sen. Barack Obama.

"If Gov. Palin and John McCain want to define 'change' as voting with George Bush 90 percent of the time, that's their choice, but we don't think the American people are ready to take a 10 percent chance on change."

In her speech, Palin drew large applause for attacking Obama for writing two memoirs, but no major laws or reforms.

Robert Gibbs, an Obama campaign senior adviser, said that like Joe Lieberman's speech last night, Palin was wrong.

She can't play the experience card. She's had none. And if all her speech consisted of was attacking Obama, then she has bugger all ammunition

She has more experience in making decisions than the entire Democratic ticket and her own running mate.

Obama has done NEITHER

Barack Obama makes decisions in committees, and has the option to not show up if he doesn't care about an issue or doesn't want to vote for/against it. You don't get that luxury as President, just as you don't get that luxury as governor.

Palin's proven she's willing to make executive decisions, all Obama's done is avoid the issues he's uncomfortable with. He's proven it with his voting record in the state and US senates, and he's proven it in his rhetoric and pandering and dodging questions at the Saddleback Forum.

Defenders of Obama can say that his voting "present" was a political device, but all that will show is that Obama is business as usual and an insider politician who plays with the system at his convenience. I really hope he tries to defend himself using those tactics in a debate, and I hope McCain shoves those words back down his vile little throat.

The executive experience talking point in this election is weak ... it's a way to try to frame Sarah Palin as somehow uniquely more qualified than Obama ...

I never said more qualified, I said equally as qualified. Obama has national experience, she has executive experience. Clearly, she's savvy on national and international issues, though.

Personally, I don't think either are ready for Presidency, but he's the one running for it.

You get that from where exactly?

Please don't say her speech tonight and force me to ruin my bank's keyboard ...

Oh, she's running too ... she's to be ready to lead on day one if necessary ...

Wow, she's been executive of Hicksville, Alaska, with all the diversity and hard decisions she's had to make there, she's ideal...

"Hey, Cletus, ya thunk we need to put some more snow ploughs up in Fairbanks? All those in favour, say Aye?"....

 

[Article 15]

she IS

Obama has already organized and run a victorious national campaign ... against the Clintons ... I think that more than balances out that he wasn't a governor for 16 months ... or ... lol ... mayor of an 8,000 person village ...
