Is a First Term Illinois Senator Qualified to be President?

Electoral-vote.com shows Lincoln’s experience as being an attorney with two years in the House of Representatives, and eight years in the Illinois legislature, and yet he is often regarded as our best president. Obama also an attorney, also has eight years experience in the same Illinois legislature, but four years in the US Senate, so he has more political experience than Lincoln. But the conclusion of the website is that there is not a strong correlation between political experience and ranking as a president.

Lincoln wasn't a socialist.

"Honest" Abe - "___________" Obama. You can fill in the blank with the best fitting adjective, but "Honest" sure as hell won't be the word you're looking for.

Is Obama qualified? The millions of people who voted for him, turned out in the caucus during the Democratic primaries to elect him think so. The tens of thousands who have turned out for his rallies across the country seem to think so.

If they're like you and your friends on this board that can't name a single thing that he has ever done that qualifies him for president, I'd say it's obvious that there are millions of people who don't know what a "qualification" is - which then means there are millions of people who lack the common sense that should be required to cast a vote.

Like the Homeless that ACORN is going around and rounding up to vote, wonder if that is the same workers Obama trained?

You don't think homeless people should have a right to vote :???:

Obviously, they have the RIGHT to vote, but when they are in the condition that they are in likely because of mental problems or a succession of poor decisions, what kind of rocket scientists seek them out to vote? The truth is that they are just being used by the liberals to get their vote. That's despicable.

You mean like how McBusch is pandering to the radical La Raza group- that not only supports open borders. amnesty and citizenship for all illegals but also promotes active overthrowal of party of the country and return of the southwest states to Mexico....

And McCain reminds them "Spanish was the native language of my home state"..... :shock: :roll: :( :(
Now thats despicable....

Comical how the Dems are trying to register more voters and promote everyone coming out to vote- and the Repubs are trying to keep folks from the polls-and having their say in the direction the country should go.... :???:
Says a lot right there- and pretty well sums up the past 7 years of how the Bush regime represented only their rich corporate elist buddies and crapped on the rest of the country...

Look who that radical group LaRaza is supporting. They know who's got the candy that they want - and who will give it to them.

Republicans don't have any problems with people registering to vote, it's all the BS the radical liberals like ACORN do to get them registered - so they can use them for vote whores. The Democrats have a history of voter registration fraud.

Well heres an example of what this outfit in Montana is doing- and its coming back to bite them in the butt... :wink: :lol:
But like I said before- the Montana Repub party is even more split and splintered than the national party...

About half of the challenged voters are under 30 years old, the group said.

The list also included Kevin Furey, a former Democratic state representative and Army Reserve officer who has been activated for duty in the Middle East.

Furey, reached while visiting his grandmother in Chicago before he deploys to Kuwait, said Friday that he had forwarded his mail from his Helena address to his parents in Missoula County. He is registered to vote at his Helena address.

Furey said the challenge may affect many people in the military, and that it's "really egregious" if the challenges end up preventing members of the military from voting.

"It is ironic that at the same time I am about to return to Iraq to help build a democracy, that my own right to vote is being challenged at home for partisan purposes," he said in a statement released earlier. "These challenges are a blatant and offensive attempt to suppress the rights of voters."

Eaton said late Friday that he withdrew the challenge to Furey after learning about it from a reporter.

Matt Singer, the head of Forward Montana, noted that he, too, is on the list of challenged voters.

"This lists of challenged voters is ridiculous," he said.

Wasn't there a history of fraud in that district?

Nope, never any evidence- just that they are Dem stronghold areas- college towns- union towns- reservations.....And fraud can't be the reason because the party said they are going to challenge more- unless they think the whole state is being corrupt...

By next week, the party expects to challenge voters in other counties, he said. Eaton declined to say which counties are next on the list.

If there really was any evidence of previous voter fraud and the Montana Republican party were truly concerned with the sancity of voter registrations, they'd have done these challenges a year ago, paid for the mailers sent to voters, and done everything to ensure that those voters impacted by their challenge would still be able to vote this year.

This will end up costing the taxpayers thousands $- over no evidence- in an attempt to scare away voters- and is not sitting well with county clerks and fathers who are in their busiest time making sure the elections do go well....

This is called blowing smoke and desperation.....

The report said they had "the highest number of descrepancies". That means a history of fraud. That means thats where you look.

Funny how they never filed any actual challeges after the election- or have brought any legitimate facts up... :???: Guess they were just sleeping then....

They're just still in shock because their biggest hero "Conman" got beat- but thankfully there are still some honest reputable folks in the state that don't go for his and McBusch type of "the dollar rules" principles...

Sen. Burns received $150,000 in campaign contributions from Abramoff and his clients -- more than any other member of Congress. The money has since been returned to its original donors or given to charity. Abramoff said in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, "Every appropriation we wanted [from Burns' committee] we got,"

Incidentally- Guess which "good old boy" ex-Senator, now turned lobbyiest McBusch chose as his Montana campaign chairman :???:

The hell of it is, OT, if you're an Obama supporter, you can't point the finger at the McCain camp and chide them for anything.

You can't accuse McCain of poor associations when Obama has Rezko, Ayers, and Wright in his past.

You can't accuse Republicans of voter problems when Obama was in ACORN.

You can't blast Palin for lack of experience when a governor's job more closely resembles the president's than a senator's does.

You can't blast Palin's lack of foreign policy experience when Obama has none himself.

You can't point at McCain and holler "lobbyist" when Biden's own son is a lobbyist.

You can't call any Republican a racist when Obama has Wright's teachings seeping out with his "typical white person" comment.

The list goes on and on. Every dang thing Obama supporters scold McCain/Palin for, your guy has done worse! The guy is a flipping nightmare! He makes George Bush look like George Washington! I can't believe that you can't see through this guy.

What gives you the notion that Obama will be any different? What has he ever changed in his life? (Other than his stories)
