Hockey Mom

Sarah Palin bragged that she was a hockey mom and PTA member. Doesn't being a heart beat away from the presidency entail a little more expreience. Gee, my mom was in the PTA so I guess she is also qualified to be vice president.

I wouldn't feel comfortable having one who lacks education be leader of the free world, potentially.

We need to remember that Alaska has a combined population of 660,000, which is about equal to the City of Fresno, California.

Alaska on its worst day, doesn't even come close to having the problems of the rest of states, let alone, the rest of the world. Being versed in Alaska's problems does not make one qualified to address worldly problems... let alone a person who did not qualify for higher education and could only attend a tier 3 college... AND didn't even major in any of the majors relevant to government.

Palin's Cinderella story was made possible by the fact that she resides in Alaska, a state where the bell curve is low. Let's face it - not many Harvard graduates reside in Alaska. She didn't have much competition. Who did she run against? Her cousin Billy Bob Joe and the night manager at the local Walmart?

Let's be real. I want the best of the best to be president and she doesn't cut it. She lacks education and experience.

On the other hand, Obama attended Columbia University, a tier 1 school, majoring in political science, then went on to Harvard where he was elected president of the law review. After becoming a lawyer, he served as Director and as a member of the board to many, many important organizations.

He also taught CONSTITUTIONAL LAW for 12 years at University of Chicago Law School, yet another top tier school.

His tenure in certain organizations and his education/teaching experience alone make him more qualified than she.

Without further education, she has hit her ceiling while Obama has only begun. Obama, at the very least, possesses a solid foundation on which to build. Even as a U.S. Senator of Illinois, Chicago alone has a population of 2.8 million with complexities beyond the capabilities of Palin.. and troubles that Palin would find unfathomable... Palin, who has made it by the seat of her pants and political stunts, (whistleblowing, luck, and unworthy opponents) would need to go back to school before even thinking about tackling the world's problems. She has no substantial education in history, law, nor international law to speak of. How could she possibly be qualified to make any negotiations with other countries when she has no knowledge of foreign affairs or international laws?

Could she ever author a bill as most up and coming lawmakers do? NO! Could she even read through proposed laws adequately without law experience? NOOO!! If she could, then WE could and there wuld be no need for lawyers..... participation in Alaskan government is as significant in the world as Greenland - not at all... instead of furthering her education relevant to any public office, she was too busy with beauty pageants and fishing.

Sure, it's possible that the regional manager of Burger King could make the best CEO Google has ever had (and pigs could fly) but do you think the thousands of stockholders at Google would make that bet with their millions of dollars?

Of course not. Would you? Thousands of lives are at stake with this war. Do you want to bet on someone who lacks even the most basic and fundamental knowledge about her own country to decide OUR future? The stakes are high-- we cannot gamble on a two-bit, LUCKY, politician who never had to make a decision more important than what kind of snow boots to wear that day. (or whether a bridge to the airport should be built) PLEASE!!

Like I said, this is a high stakes game -- I'm not comparing apples to oranges. The analogy fits. Palin runs a state whose everyday troubles don't match the rest of the country... she has never seen REAL trouble that the mainland faces day to day. She never had real competition. She never would have made it past the school board if she were competing on the mainland.

Even though I am well educated in my field, I am not well versed in all things government and neither is Palin. I would never be so irresponsible and vain to run for an office of which I am not qualified nor do I ever apply for any position of responsibility fr which I am not qualified. How reckless of Palin. She makes me angry because she knows she is not qualified while the future of the world hangs in the balance, especially now. (insert melodramatic music here)

Sorry.... I wouldn't want her to be in a position to affect the rest of my life. There was plenty of other qualified candidates. She was only picked as a publicity stunt and to satisfy the Evangelical Christians where McCain felt he lacked.

Subaru Commercial Hockey Mom: We follow quick shots of a hockey mom and her triplet boys as they live the life of being on a youth league ...

i can neither make heads nor tales of this sentence. I asked a professor who has phd in english and he too does not understand it.

What connection does hockey mom have with a pit bull dog?

What connection does pit bull have with lipstick?

A hockey mom with 5 kids, including one born in her 40s, needs to be spayed, just like a pitbull.

I guess the "real idea" behind the "joke" is that Palin and hockey mom's are really tough and vicious, like pitbulls (a breed of notoriously aggressive and tough dog) but that they are more glamorous because they wear lipstick. Stupid really.

I can't imagine why Roseanne Conner would vote for Palin. So which moms in TV pop culture would actually vote for Palin as part of that crucial Hockey Mom block of voters?

That's a great comparison. Roseanne and Palin are both charismatic and jovial. They have great smiles. I could see them being best buds or BFF'S. Sitting in a pickup with their shotguns and swilling beers. Good times!

Since she's not running for office in Canada, shouldn't she refer to herself as a "baseball mom" or "basketball mom"? Doesn't she know that hockey isn't really popular in most of the states McCain has a chance of winning in?

She is full of hockey !!

We all know Govenor Palin is a Hockey Mom. I would like to know her views on education? Why did Bristol miss four months of school last year? Are the children performing poorly like the under achieving father and care taker?Which parent supervises homework? Why are her first two children not academically motivated? It looks like her home is in shambles. Perhaps the Palin's are not the best choice for the white house.

If Palin was a proper mother she would have noticed the warning signs from her daughter Bristol .Will living in sin be the thing for the children of the future.It would be interesting to see the percentage increase in teen age pregnancies after Palins daughter.
Are these acceptable christian values .
