Ron 10 #303 September 2, 2008 QuoteNeverminding the fact that running Wasilla pads a resume just slightly more than being on a high school yearbook committee And what govt organizations has Obama run? Quotehow do you add up 6 years as mayor and less than 2 years as governor to make them total 13 years? 1992-1996: City Council. 1996-2002: Mayor. While there she reduced her *own* salary. 2003-2004: Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. She quit in 2004 over the ethics of some REPUBLICANS. She tried to get them to quit, they would not so she did. After she left she went after REPUBLICANS Randy Ruedrich (the party chair) and Gregg Renkes. 2006-? Governor of Alaska. 1992-1996 = 4 years 1996-2002 = 6 years 2006-2008 = 2 years That's 12 years of elected office, 8 years as the head of a Government body."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,991 #306 September 2, 2008 >DUDE.. I have been to Wasilla.. its got like 6000 people . . . Yep. It's right up there with Barrow in terms of density. We watched a great bar-clearing brawl there one night right after a wedding. There were cops, parents, drunken best men, grooms throwing punches, cars rolling into trees . . . it was excellent entertainment. (And it never got dark!) On the minus side, it's getting harder and harder to land out with all the development up there, and the mosquitoes are truly absurd. And Carol's DZ just closed, sadly.

livendive 8 #321 September 2, 2008 Quote Her experience is still more than the man you want as President. That says something about people priorities to me. How are you defining "experience"? Why should time on the city council of Wasilla count as a qualifcation for President of the US, but not time as a civil rights attorney or constitutional law professor? Do you think experience is the only relevant factor, or should education also be considered? Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
