Be Careful What You Wish For Department

The libs and Obamanites might want to rethink spreading the meme that Sarah Palin is just the “Governor of an inconsequential rural state”, and therefore not qualified to be a “heartbeat away” from the Presidency. Or wasn’t Bill Clinton their most successful Presidential candidate this century?

Clinton was Governor for 12 years, Palin for a little over 2.  Does that mean she’s 1/6 as qualified as he was?

The state of Alaska is roughly 12 times the size of Arkansas.  Does that mean that the Alaska Governor is 12 times more qualified than one from Arkansas?

Arkansas has a population roughly 4 times that of Alaska.  Does that mean the Governor of Arkansas is 4 times more qualified?

(Gee, ain’t this fun?  We can do this all day long.)

Alaska’s combined intelligence quotient is ten times that of…

Oh, never mind. I’ll let barking dogs lie on this one.

I posted only to illustrate the stupidity of making these sorts of comparisons.  Yeah, yeah, yeah--I know the other guys do it (whoever your other guys happen to be).  Big deal.  It’s like monkeys in the zoo flinging shit back and forth.

Never try to teach a pig to sing.  It wastes your time, and it annoys the pig.

Let’s see:  There’s all that untapped oil and gas in Alaska - that covers energy policy.  There’s Alaska’s proximity to an increasingly hostile Russia across the Bering - that covers international affairs and foreign policy.

Yep, we probably could do this all day!

Can you give me an example of one decision that Palin has made based on Russia being across the Bering sea to Alaska.  Obviously the US doesn’t even consider it much of a threat since Alaska has one of the smallest National Guard units in the nation at approximately 4,200 troops.  National security experience based on Alaska being close to Russia is an absurd talking point.

Arkansas in the late 1980’s had 4 times the population of Alaska right now. Besides that he was a Governor for 12 years!

LTM,

I knew what you were doing.  I just thought it’d be fun to play along while I’m waiting for a client who’s running late.

What’s most amusing, except to the pigs, of course, is how many folks there are who take this kind of silliness seriously

LTM,

See what I mean?

Just as I posted to show the Dems the folly of their fatuous arguments against her!

C’mon, somebody explain to me how being in proximity to a land mass creates intelligence of foreign policy. This I have heard from a Republican and would like an explanation. Too funny!

Nunez,

The entire conversation between LTM and me was a spoof… a fatuous riff meant to point out the silliness of those who, like you apparently, take these kinds of “arguments” seriously.

I understand both Kaplan and Sylvan offer excellent reading comprehension programs for adults.  You should look into it without delay.

Because...because ...well Alaska and Russia are...well..right up there ...close!

And 2,124 years ago cave men rode dinosaurs across the ice and down into America and then became the Indians white guys kick out because everyone knows God gave America to the Euros invaders.

And that’s why we have to kill Russians.

What’s the matter with you nunez!?


Excuse me, you were saying?
