Just talked with a good friend of mine, but sadly very liberal -- seems irreversible -- told her about the great reviews for The Undefeated, Sarah Palin documentary - her record in Alaska - and I tried to explain to her that she should at least get informed about Sarah before calling her the wilderness barbie.
She then said: OK so she did a great job in Alaska, but is she able to run all US states (in all fairness, she did not say 57..). These people have an answer for everything..darn! What would you say to that - besides telling her that she voted for the one who had so much experience..? I need help here with my liberal friends.

Trying to have an intelligent discussion with a liberal might be a great exercise in determination, but in the long run using “liberal” and “friend” in the same sentence might be your first mistake.
I have a self imposed ban from Palin threads. Check out the Perry threads if you’re interested in measuring large scale performances.
Why not point out that there are “about” 50 different governors who job it is to run “about” 50 states.
It is NOT the job of the President to “run” “about” 50 states.
The President has his/her(?) OWN responsibility. Your liberal friend should read up on it.
The space of Alaska occupies most of the rest of the US combined and is responsible for the strategic defense of our borders against attack from Russia, China, North Korea, etc.
Besides, what executive experience has 0bama actually demonstrated?
What did obama ever run (other than some scams)?
First, a President does not “run” all fifty states. We have fifty states governors who might not cotton to that notion.
Second, a President runs the Federal Government as its Chief Executive.
Given that Sarah ran against a corrupt Republican regime in Alaska and then implemented policies with a reinvigorated GOP thus giving her the highest approval ratings of any governor in living history we could only be so fortunate if she did the same things in Washington.
I hope you gave her the simple and obvious answer: "Yes"
Well if she admitted Palin did a good job, then ask her ‘No one can know if she will or not. Before getting the job, there is no candidate that we can ‘know’ will be good in the position or not since by definition, they never held the office of president before. But since we can agree that want people who do “good jobs’ in their prior positions running the country, I’m glad you’ll join me on election day in Voting for SP ;)
I don’t think comparing to Obama’s experience will do any good. My response would have to do with the blatant corruption and cronyism that has been present in Washington for many years, but has accelerated under Obama to ridiculous degree. Then, I’d show that Sarah Palin is the ONLY one with a record of fighting such corruption.
I’d also remind her that it’s not the president’s job to run all the other states. Governors do that.
>>She then said: OK so she did a great job in Alaska, but is she able to run all US states <<
The question is a non-sequitur — bj clinton only ran one state (and a small one). Ronald Magnum ran one state.
and barry the zero did — NOTHING! In his whole professional life. He put his name behind 2 ghost written books completely devoid of content, then went on to vote “present” for his entire professional life.
This is a softball your “friend” tossed at you.
That is hilarious. As if the President were single handedly running all 50 state governments.
This person does know that states have their own governments, right?
lol
Tell your friend that Palin has more experience than most governors with all issues concerning energy and that is the kind of experience we need badly right now.
Oh no she di-in’t.
There’s really not much you can say to those who are blind.
If she is willing to question Mrs. Palin’s ability to run the country after having *only* run a state (a microcosm of the U.S.), and be unable to see the irony in her having voted for a guy who had no experience running anything at all (as you noted), then she won’t hear anything you say.
Sadly, with ones like her, if she ever comes around, it will likely take something horribly extreme to wake her up to the bankruptcy of liberalism.
