Giuliani: Palin More Qualified Than Obama

He also said Obama “is the least experienced candidate for president in the last 100 years.

“I mean, he's never run a city, he's never run a state, he's never run a business, he's never administered a payroll, he's never led people in crisis,” Giuliani said.

“I think here he wanted to send the message, get somebody fresh, somebody really who represents the other America outside of Washington where people don't care whether you have an 'R' or a 'D' after your name, they just want you to get something done to help them deal with the problems they have,” Lieberman said. “And Sarah Palin comes from that other America.”

In the mad dash between throwing away the talking points the Dems had for vp candidate Romney and drumming up new ones, the following jewels from the emergency broadcasts at NPR:

Obama hearts polar bears (but not infant survivors of botched abortions).

McCain is jaded from too many years experience in Washington.

Obama lacks experience but represents change.

Palin lacks experience.

What happens if something happens to McCain.

Joe Biden is a good pick because he has a lot of experience in Washington and balances out Obama's lack of experience. (Isn't the more important question, what happens if something happens to Biden?)

The Repugs don't care about victims of hurricanes.

The Democrats spent gazilliion dollars on a glitzy convention.

The Repugs are toning down their convention to put efforts into victims of the impending hurricane Gustav, must be a sign.

A mystifying puzzle I hope some crackerjack at the Kennedy School of Government can solve at some point?

Doug Kmiec, trying to hold off the Friday morning post convention stampede to McCain has a new article up on the bastion of orthodoxy, Slate.

He explains on his way home from the losing battle of selling Romney to Catholics he came up with the next best thing to Romney for Catholic sensibility, Obama. Obama is the new Reagan.

"Now, don't think me daft,...", he says, which surely indicates he's aware selling a candidate who supports infantcide to practicing Catholics is as offensive as selling the common good policies of Karl Marx, Adolph Hilter and Joe Stalin.

"Much of the Catholic primary vote has been in the Democratic column, going at first to Hillary Clinton over Obama, as in New Hampshire, where she won 44 percent to 27 percent."

No, actually, if you take the number of Catholics in every diocese in these states, you'll actually find that most Catholics didn't find a compelling reason to go to the polls to vote between Obama and Clinton.

" Catholics or reveals that rare gift of empathy that defined Reagan and that one glimpses in Obama. "

I'm not sensing empathy, I'm getting a strong sense of ambition from a couple well-healed, well groomed with clips of Jack and Jackie O for the last four years, and lurking under that veneer is a couple filled with rage.

While McCain ran a commercial congratulating Obama for a job well done on the night of his acceptance speech, the Obama campaign made a snide/duplicitous remark in response to the announcement of Palin. This the politics of hope and unity?

Kmiec's article draws the conclusion that teachings of the Catholic Church are on a collision course with the culture and therefore we are released from It's prohibitions on voting and, in fact, there really are no prohibitions:

"While no papal instruction will ever condone the "right to choose," the church does ask for a consistent and realistic defense of life that actually takes steps to reduce the incidence of the practice, not just condemns it. Catholics will note that McCain and Huckabee's pro-life postures collapse when it comes to the death penalty."

Kmiec avoids the Papal instruction to refrain from voting for promoter of killing at will and he knows full well that the death penalty for convicted war criminals or mass murderers and sociopaths is not in conflict with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Deliberate deception.

Catholics should rise to the occasion and contact Kmiec's Bishop.
