Not to mention that the only Executive experience on the campaign ticket at all was Governor Palin.


i am misunderstanding your use of executive,,might you expand on that? are you referring to the less than two years she spent governing Alaska before her VP campaign?


Executive Experience. Ok Government lesson here Executive Branch=Prsident's VP's Governor's and LT. Governors, Leglaslative=Congressmen, Senators, Assemblymen, State Senators and Judicial=Supreme Court and State Supreme Court. Palin had executive experience under her belt. Ans you really wanna talk about the length of time as Governor?

How about the length of time Obama was a Senator? You realize that he announced to run for president after being elected to the senate!


late night fog,,executive was supposed to be experience

I was asking about what her ACTUAL experience was (what she did and for how long,,) I am aware that she spent six years as mayor of 6 or 7 thousand residents in Wasilla county and another several months as governor,,,,,,,,

but I wont begrudge the details , she was the only one who had been elected to any executive position on the ticket and the only one to not have any legislative,,,,

Ol' Joey Boy is the VICE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ... we DESERVE BETTER. This man is uncouth, callous, classless, tactless, and gaffe-prone ... he is a walking liability. He is a national embarrassment - much like his boss and pod'nuh, 'The UN' ... They ALL need to be fired.

Well being that they are running for an Executive branch position Executive Branch experience is what should be looked at. I don't care if it's a day, a month, 6 months or years. It is still more Executive experience then Obama and Biden put together.

It sounds to me like the guy was being a smartass. Personally, I think it's refreshing to hear a politician say it like it is. Lighten up people, it's not like this gaffe was about policy, it was about custard. What kind of fool argues over an icy treat?


It's about class. It's about being in a fishbowl with all eyes on you. It's about representing your country with class. Not calling a hard working American that is taxed out the a## a smartaSS or dropping the F'Bomb all over the news.


Maybe F bombs offend you, but they don't bother me. And calling a person who is being sacastic a smartass is not the worse thing that can happen to them. Truth is this is a non-story. Of course if the hard working American had studied government he'd know that congress, not the vice-president is in charge of leveeing taxes.


I'm actually surprised that so many people are offended by an f bomb or someone being called a smartass.

And then she quit her job when she couldn't handle it anymore. Was that the kind person you really wanted as VP?

Also Palin was Governor for 2 1/2 years before McCain tapped her.

In all fairness I think Hillary is doing the best job out of the whole bunch and at least she knows when to keep her mouth shut.

First of all I never said I liked her. I quit the campaign shortly after she was picked. She is an idiot. She is hurting us Republicans chances at taking Obama out in 2012.

I am offended when it is a representative of our country in front of the whole world.

so all the great presidents had executive experience prior to being elected? I think everyone should look at what is important to them, and I can respect if that is what YOU look for,, but I look towards experience and contribution as well as and sometimes in the stead of popularity and a title.


I remember a story about an eighteen year old who ran a political campaign against an incumbent and won,, and it was admitted by him and others that his title of MAYOR was mostly a title and that he didnt really have many responsibilities that someone else didnt handle for him,,,

Oh, and Republican's put morons that can't speak as VP, anyone remember Dan Quayle?

Funny, they had the guy that Biden called a dumbass on Fox, and Friends, and he really didn't seem that upset. He actually thought Joe was "nice and personable." Maybe the guys at Fox ought to screen their "outraged" people a little better.

ya know, I thought it too, probably was being a bit of a smart alec, but my preference is for 'softer' choice of words


not gonna get upset about something so silly though, when the kids are going to see and television advertises at all times of day for a movie called 'kickass'. I think the time for us to honestly be able to shield our children from that word is kind of past.

it seems like the oil catastropher really was an unforseeable disaster,, I would place major responsibility on whichever irresponsible party caused the PHYSICAL accident to occur,,

SO then technically she was the most experienced in the Executive Branch of the Government running for an Executive Branch position. Obvious choice.
