At every level our court system is corrupt. If ever involved in a court battle this would be known. Many just like to quote information in print as fact. Just because someone prints it does not make it fact. Where's the proof. I think (notice I said 'I think' not 'I know', that's also called an 'opinion', just in case someone wants to argue it) every decision made by man is motivated by something personal.
This thread was started about Palin's qualification. I doubt them myself, that being said what the hell does Obama have to do with her qualifications? She say's she's a writer but she didn't write one page of her book. She's not a writer but rather a character....no debate there (HA!) She say's she's not guilty of any wrong doing while in office in Alaska yet now we know she was not the one running the state but rather her husband was...what...no one has a problem with the 1000 and more e-mails from him making major decisions and demands while she was supposed to be running the state...and then there's the famous injection of opinion on her part as to what should happen to her EX brother-in-laws job...none of her business but she made it hers and albeit, not considered an abuse of power but definitely up for (once again) judgment and therefore open to opinion of the country.
NO...I didn't see one question asked about Obama in the meat of this thread, why is it some people can't just let a questions about Palin be asked and some how (if at all possible) be answered without injecting OPINIONS about Obama to move the spotlight away from the subject at hand? WHY???? Substance perhaps???
If it's not true that the courts can be swayed by the feelings in the government why then is it important for a sitting president to appoint a member of his political party to the bench??? Government and politics are very much a member of the courts.
One statement I'd like to make about the argument here. If Obama's past use of drugs as a college student was evident in his current actions as president (think Bush) then it would matter. His communication ability comes from his profession as an attorney. It's part of the job. His ability to attract attention has nothing to do with his speech, his race or his education. He has something to say weather we "as the people" agree or not, but we as a people elected him to office, that does say something. We as a nation had better soon ban together or the attack of 9/11 will prove to be just the beginning of the end of our country. We as a nation need to respect the man/women we as a nation hired for the job and get on board with what ever it takes to be a healthy/wealthy country again.
I don't care who leads us but I care if they lead us into a war we should not be in. I don't care if we are led by a woman or a man, black or white, I care that boys and girls are dying and everyday we as a nation let it matter if our president is black and therefore won't stand beside him.
Yes...I see and hear all the time that the color of his skin does not matter but I think (again my opinion not open for argument) has mattered and continues to matter. When I see senators and congressmen sit in a room looking like little kids that just want their way I am embarrassed to call them the cream of our crop. We are supposed to elect men and women who have the best intentions but instead we have men and women in office that are out for them selves and are looking at special interest groups to buy their vote and pad their accounts. I'm not saying rep's or dem's I'm saying all of them. They are all guilty and until the government disallows corporations to have any input into decisions of business conducted by our COUNTRY, not their corporations then we are corrupt as a nation.
Lilly you started an interesting conversation that was hijacked by another. Don't stoup, it won't matter, in some cases you can't win a battle of wits, but you've won the war of integrity. Let that be enough. Save your breath and fight for something that matters...Palin does not fit the bill. Someone said we give her way too much attention. I agree.
So....how about those olympics...great weren't they? ;)
