We get it, Jen. You think you’re smarter than Sarah.

Fine.

Spamming is not all that smart though.

I have not read the constitution in many many many years.

Same challenge we face today.

Democrats want control over every aspect of American life. They want to micromanage everything.

btw we don’t have to guess what the Founders meant. Every part of the Constitution was thoroughly explained and it’s intent examined by the signers themselves in the Federalist Papers.

Have you read them?

btw I’m not even a big Sarah fan.

She’s not even in my top 5 for President in 2012.

But if given a Palin vs Obama choice in 2012, I’d vote for her.

Most people will pick one part of the constitution and stress that one part. Not the whole thing.

I don’t need a reason to bash Sarah Palin. She’s a walking talking point. She has no grasp of policy.

Finally, I guarantee that she was not asked the question off the top of Bill O’Reilly’s head. She was prepped. The folks that prepped her, had to have talked about her qualifications for president.it is an obvious question. The only small twist had to do with her intellectual powers. She could have used her patent answer and still answer the question.

The first half of your answer:

“Bill, I’m plenty qualified to be president. I have executive experience as a governor of Alaska. You don’t need to be in the US government for 20 or more years like Joe Biden in order to be qualified. Our founders did not put that in the Constitution.”

had nothing to do with the question, which was about intellect.

You had time to think about an answer, and still 50% of it wasn’t pertinent.

She answered on the fly, and I think she made the same point about not needing an Ivy League education , as you did in the second half of your proposed answer.

I think you’re just looking for an excuse to bash.

Joe, I respect your thoughtful discussion because it has been… thoughtful. You and I both know that Sarah Palin could’ve answered that question thoughtfully without throwing out a word salad. Try this conservative answer on for size — Bill, I’m plenty qualified to be president. I have executive experience as a governor of Alaska. You don’t need to be in the US government for 20 or more years like Joe Biden in order to be qualified. Our founders did not put that in the Constitution. you don’t need to go to Harvard or Yale in order to be president of the United States. I am well educated in schools from the heartland. Bill, I am more than smart enough to be the President of the United States.

what I just said was not particularly eloquent but it answered the question. It was a conservative answer. It made sense. 

Thanks your comments.

If she isnt eloquent, and didnt frame her answer in a pretty way that’s not necessarily a big negative either because we’ve got an eloquent President now who can’t even lead those in his own party, (much less the rest of the country), to a consensus on issues like health care and Afghanistan.

Eloquence and a diploma aren’t what we’re looking for.

I don’t think her answer is that tough to understand. Maybe it sounds foreign to you because you’d prefer a smooth politician who can sing a nice tune.
