Bush does not drink Beer. He used to. But I know that was not your point. I don't personally know anyone that thougth about Bush in that way. The most "emotional" reason that alot people voted for him was that he claimed to be a Christian, so some Christians voted for him, just because he is a Christian... and acted like one, that is key, that why Obama does not get the Christian votes just for saying he is one. I also think that is why the far left hates he so, because he is a Christian and stands for what he believes.

Besides, I already said I was referring to this election, and I was just kidding Rubang a bit. He took it as that.

Also, I am right. Obama has a more emotional connection than does McCain, more people will vote on him out of pure emotion. I really don't give a shit if you think my credibility is slipping. I do not base what I say or believe on whether it will make people think more of me.

Did you do the google search? I specifically pointed out that it was just a search I did...

Wouldn't it be more constructive to give me a link with proof of those trade negotiations? I thought we were trying to get to some conclusions here.

I believe the point is that if you google trade missions with palin, that's all you'll get. Not very promising if she has demonstrated how she has all of these "trade missions" with other countries.

Oh yes, I hate S. Palin. I can accept Obama as President. I can accept McCain as President. I can accept Biden as President. No way in hell, though, is Palin qualify for the Executive.

That states there were trade missions, though possibly none from Russia.  Which makes the comment "She has no foreign policy expierence"wrong... as states on the boarders often need to make trade deals with other countries.

Being next to foreign countires gives you expierence because you have to make such negotiations at times.

I also find it weird that this went in to a thing about Palin when this thread was originally about how Pelosi taking away the "Shared political cover" might of caused the Bailout to fail.

Sure, but we don't want to reach the wrong conclusions either, right?  So wouldn't you agree it is constructive to rule out sources that have strong bias or are unreliable?

Of course I could ask you the same question, you say you did a google search and found that McCain asked for a UN resolution as well but didn't provide a link...how constructive is that?  Nobody but you knows which article you saw or what context the comment was made in.

John McCain never actually said the UN should pass resolutions against Russia.  He said the UN should draft up a bunch of resolutions against Russia, that Russia would then veto to embaress Russia on the world stage.

Which is quite similar.  Though somewhat different as one gives you the idea he knows how the UN works.

John McCain knows that said resolution won't pass but thinks it's a good idea for political gain... vs Obama who thinks the UN can actually get something done.

It talks about one trade mission to Yukon... which means the "trade negotiations with many foreign countries" claim is, so far, unproven at best.

She's next to Russia, yet there's no evidence of any trade missions with Russia.

@Sqrl: If you search for mccain un resolution you'll get plenty of links about McCain's call for an UN resolution on Russia. Not that that matters much, I was just replying to bigjon's attack on Obama.

Well lets do a small comparison:

Just curious were you aware of Obama's previous executive experience in which he was given $110 million to spend on Chicago schools to improve them from last in the nation?  I would assume not since the CAC's own investigation into their results found they had little or no impact.  On the other hand Palin negotiated a nearly $40 billion pipeline running through Canada (requires negotiations with Canada) with terms so good for Alaskans that people told her initially that it could never be done.

PS - A highly edited daily show video isn't exactly giving me the context of the comment, it gives me the context that John Stuart finds is most funny.  Considering he is a liberal I think we can both agree how useless the video is at providing the context for the comment.  And of course Kasz has already pointed out more of the context anyways.
