Thomas Sowell On Electing McCain and Palin-----Palin's Experience Is What Counts!! According to Thomas Sowell-- "The issue that is raised most often is her relative lack of experience and the fact that she would be "a heartbeat away from the presidency" if Senator John McCain were elected. But Barack Obama has even less experience-- none in an executive capacity-- and his would itself be the heartbeat of the presidency if he were elected. Sarah Palin's record is on the record, while whole years of Barack Obama's life are engulfed in fog, and he has had to explain away one after another of the astounding and vile people he has not merely "associated" with but has had political alliances with, and to whom he has directed the taxpayers' money and other money. Sarah Palin has had executive experience-- and the White House is the executive branch of government. We don't have to judge her by her rhetoric because she has a record. We don't know what Barack Obama will actually do because he has actually done very little for which he was personally accountable. Even as a state legislator, he voted "present" innumerable times instead of taking a stand one way or the other on tough issues. "Clean up the mess in Washington"? He(Obama) was part of the mess in Chicago and lined up with the Daley machine against reformers. He (Obama) is also part of the mess in Washington, not only with numerous earmarks, but also as the Senate's second largest recipient of money from Fannie Mae, and someone whose campaign has this year sought the advice of disgraced former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines, who was at the heart of the subprime credit--------see article for more." Artical Sowell:Obama can't clean the mess-he is part of the mess. Thomas also says McCain and Palin have not spent years with people who are anti-Americans--they deserve to win the election: townhall.com
