“If you think that’s Jefferson’s line, or that Jefferson wasn’t qualified for the office...”
.
Wrong inference. Of course Jefferson was as qualified as any of the founders were, and all of them were qualified not from experience in government, but from real world activities in business and professional life. This is exactly what we desperately need right now.
Palin also is as qualified as any of the founders were for the same reasons. The Palins successfully ran three businesses, and Sarah has held and excelled in four public executive positions. This is that of which real qualification for the Office of president is made.
If by any chance there is another candidate out there that is qualified to run, they will be similarly qualified, and most certainly will not be members of congress!
.
You are precisely right: the last thing we need are politicians with more political experience. FDR was a career politician and brought us the New Deal. LBJ was a career politician and brought us the Great Society. George Bush I was a career politician and brought us Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was a career politician and brought us Monica Lewinsky. Barack Obama is a career politician and is bringing us Marxism.
Ronald Reagan spent his career as an actor. Sarah Palin has spent her career as a working woman and mother. The former brought us the Reagan Revolution. The latter can bring us back from the brink of a communist takeover.
I’ll opt for the non-politicians, thank you.
