Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich did what conservatives have been waiting for someone to do since Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain's running mate: take on someone in the media claiming that she lacks the qualifications to be vice president.
Such marvelously occurred Tuesday evening on the convention floor in St. Paul when MSNBC's Ron Allen said to the former Speaker, "But to be fair, her resume is not something we're familiar seeing with presidential candidates."
This didn't sit well with Gingrich who strongly replied (video embedded right, h/t NB readers Matt Noll and Patrick):
It's stronger than Barack Obama's. I don't know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She's been a real mayor, he hasn't. She has been a real governor, he hasn't. She's been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn't. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She's a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I've never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don't know of a single thing Obama's done except talk and write.
Newt then challenged Allen:
I'd like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama's done.
With that, Allen retreated, and said:
Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to argue the case. Thanks very much.
Hmmm. Imagine that. I guess folks like Allen are only willing to argue the case when there's nobody playing the part of the defense attorney.
How convenient.

September 3, 2008 - 00:10 ET by PopularTechI will try to stop being the only person here honestly concerned about qualifications.
I am so happy McCain did this so now it is non-stop defense mode about qualifications. I mean why actually keep an advantage when you can pander like this.

September 3, 2008 - 00:50 ET by JWFIt always comes down to voting for the Giant Douche or the Turd Sandwich.
Which one are you going with? You gotta pick one.
You make it sound like you won't vote at all.
Sorry about the bad news, but it is partisan. Sen. McCain will not change his choice because of what PopTech or JWF says so we kind of have to live with it. Or vote the other ticket.
...or vote Libertarian...

Exposing Libera Media Bias.
September 3, 2008 - 01:29 ET by JWFIsn't that what this site is all about?
What is the difference between what you are saying and posting and the bias the liberal media is displaying on Palin, her daughter, and her experience?
I see one of the top articles here is "Palin 'Dan Quayle all over'".
Where is the one that says, PopTech hammers Palin again and again and again and again and again and again.
I am failing to see the difference. I am not pleased as punch with McCain or Palin but I don't see the point in backhandedly giving Obama a free vote by throwing away my vote on a third party, most especially one appears to be taking voters from the Republican rolls.
Is that what this is all about? Barr?
So now criticizing Palin's lack of experience is liberal?
September 3, 2008 - 01:39 ET by PopularTechPlease stop being partisan. I've provided the facts. I am not an editor here so I have nothing to do with the content of the site but the editors are clearly exposing liberal media bias.
I did not make the liberal inference.
September 3, 2008 - 01:56 ET by JWFI said you sound biased just like the liberal media. There is no need for you to point out the lack of experience, the media is doing a wonderful job without you. See what I am saying here?
Yes, you are providing the facts, but by pounding, and at the expense of completely overlooking the other side. And now you seem to be indicating why, because you like Bob Barr. That sir, sounds like bias to me.
The media is not making it as clear as I am
September 3, 2008 - 02:17 ET by PopularTechAnd the Barr comment was in response to voting against Obama as the only choice. My only bias is I prefer qualifications.
Yes, yes they are.
September 3, 2008 - 02:33 ET by JWFThe media is making it absolutely clear. Crystal clear.
So the Bob Barr thing was a Red Herring to throw me off scent. Not nice sir, I have seen those tactics usually come out of one camp. Not nice at all.
We get your point but you are pounding the table.
I also see that most people here like Palin and comment accordingly. Ok, as I said, this site is about exposing media liberal bias, so it would seem more people on the right will be drawn here and comment here. Most comments are going to favor the right side just from numbers alone.
You made your point, we saw it, but you seem to be taking pleasure in twisting the knife. I just wonder why.
Reading Comprehension
September 3, 2008 - 18:27 ET by PopularTechYou asked, who do you vote for Obama or McCain, I said Barr. It is called a response to a question, there is no conspiracy.
I give my opinion, if you don't like it don't read it.
quips
September 4, 2008 - 02:12 ET by JWFYou are also more interested in quips than actually responding.
Turns out you are all about quips and pounding the table.
We got it with a bullet. McCain did not check with you before making the VP pick and you are angry. So you pound the table here. Looks like I am the last one out the door of the room full of people that respected you. Turn out the lights when you leave.
If we want to hear people hammer on Palin, all we have to do is turn on the TV, pick up a newspaper, or a magazine. Don't need to turn to Poptech for that, but nice of you to join the pile on.

Isn't The Proper Comparison...
September 3, 2008 - 11:25 ET by Wildcatter1980...between hers and Obama's?
What impresses me is that she can proudly present hers while BO tries to hide his!
Why else, for instance, would he appear to be avoiding a major venue like The O'Reilly Factor where he knows he would be viewed by many of the voters he will need to win in November, but also face serious, probing, legitimate questions in the process? An additional example is how BO's campaign has approached the Justice Department to investigate AIP and one of its bacckers, Simmons, I believe, in an attempt to intimidate them and future efforts to expose Obama's background and past/present affiliations.
Oh, Sheesh

September 3, 2008 - 00:23 ET by Carl KolchakPopT has made posts against global warming, so I don't think he's Colmes. PopT doesn't worship Gore and Company in regards to the global warming, however I think most people have gotten the drift he isn't a Palin fan. I'm not sure why there are countless posts when everyone seems to understand he isn't a Palin fan, but I have to admit I was a little stunned when I heard it was her for VP. She seems pretty cool and I don't have anything against her.
I'm probaly still writing in Randal "Tex" Cobb for President and Rowdy Roddy Piper for VP, until I'm convinced otherwise. Now, one thing I do hope for is that we will hear a lot of "North to Alaska" by Johnny Horton though, because that is a cool song.

Our family had one of thee most memorable vacations 3 years ago last week (katrina) on a Royal Carib Alaskan cruise. It was amazing. I always said I want to go again and this talk of Palin lately has just got me more "fired up & ready to go!" lol.
Actually, for myself who looks across the map and would love to escape California one day, although I am about 20 years away from retirement, I think I may have put Alaska into consideration.
And make no mistake people are leaving CA, I can think of many personal stories. (think boomers)
Limit posts?
September 3, 2008 - 09:02 ET by MaximusBraveheartSeems like you should be able to limit the number of posts per story to some reasonable number like 3. You should be able to make you point by then; LOL. It is getting irritating reading a PT post every few posts on story after story.
OR you could have a voting system with +/- counts. If you get several minuses your ability to post on that story is then limited. If this happens on several stories over a short period, then you are severely limited or canned.

Pop tech is really just mad
September 3, 2008 - 07:34 ET by amberPop tech is really just mad that she is a woman. If she were a man with the same quals, minus the pagent stuff, he would not have a problem. He seems to think that if a woman says she was a brilliant pick, then it is because the woman has no objectivity. He is an ass and I can only assume he does not think women belong in positions of power unless they are 85 and have passed the bar in 50 states. He has dislodged his brain. If he is a lawyer, he must really suck at it because lawyers know, you play to the jury as much as possible without compromising your case. That is what McCain did and he succeeded. Palin is a much better selection than any of PTs choices. McCain may have won with Romney if the media imploded and actually spoke the truth about Obama, but that is not going to happen. Mc Cain will win with Palin. The more the media hammer her, the more they will be proven wrong. Like the other article says, they have lowered expectations so far that when Palin does speak, people will be blown away by her, in a great way.
PT also loathes Christians and is terribly afraid of them, so much so, that he thinks an anti-gunner like Guilliani is a better candidate. Maybe he is afraid of women with guns.
All PT's whining and crap asside...what in the world was up with Leiberman? Wow he sucks and people cheared! "McCain is not afraid to reach across the aisle and get campaing finance reform done! McCain fought hard for better global warming policies...blah blah blah" I think Leiberman did a huge campaing speach for Obama at the RNC. Puke.

"There are more people in Delaware than Alaska..."
September 3, 2008 - 00:55 ET by mastersofdeceitUm, there's only over 181,000 more people in DE(it's ranked 45th) AK(largest state size) is 47th.
How much gas, oil and seafood does DE(a tax loophole state, supply to the nation?
IMO, knowing how the gov't runs (that would be having to contend as a Governor, with BOTH state and federal laws) Alaska would be way more of a governmental cluster-f**** of red tape to mess with, not to mention the wacko environmentalists.
Biden has been in the senate with his tiny "group" vote since the Nixon era, never GOVERNED a state.
LOL, thanks for proving
September 3, 2008 - 01:06 ET by Conservative VoiceLOL, thanks for proving everyone's point pop. Your claim to fame is that she doesn't have experience but Biden does? HA, if that is what experience buys you, I will take Sarah's anyday. Biden is an arrogant socialist, while Sarah is a lady who has more common sense and is more real than Biden.
Whats the point of having experience, if the only experience you have being wrong?
And please do tell where in
September 3, 2008 - 01:07 ET by Conservative VoiceAnd please do tell where in the Constitution it requires a law degree to be President or VP? If that didn't matter to the founding fathers, then it doesn't matter.

geez
September 3, 2008 - 02:04 ET by gordoncut and paste, cut and paste, is that all you guys know how to do?
So Biden's been a chair and he's twelve members and a lawyer.
He should start his own party, he's already got a chair and 12 members.
And he's a lawyer, zowie!
Let's not forget, he voted against the TransAlaska pipeline 30 years ago. Lucky he was outvoted on that one, eh? Otherwise, gas would be 20 dollars a gallon by now.
PoP T, it appears to me
September 3, 2008 - 02:12 ET by ConservativeRexPoP T, it appears to me Biden been on the public dole longer than any six generation welfare family. Re-read what you spammed.
In his adult life, the taxpayers have always provided his salary. Oh, he may have had a paper route when he was 12, but that can't be varified. The only one that I can varify that has been on the public dole nearly as long as Biden in W.J. Clinton.
Let me know if/when Biden gets a wage earning job.
Please, Please, Please
September 3, 2008 - 09:29 ET by SQL_SamPost More on Biden - because you know as well as I do that showing Biden's resume shows he's a good ol' boy and been "in" the network for a long, long time. Is this the "Change" Obama is referring to? Sounds like he's going back to the comfort zone to me. Come one everyone - group hug.
Biden's comittee memberships are irrelavent
September 3, 2008 - 11:30 ET by ChrisMillsSorry, Tech, but being the member of a legislative comittee is not executive experience, the only thing that matters for qualifications for being pres. This is Biden's executive experience resume:

And this is Obama's:
Barack Obama
Those might be a little extensive though. Is having a name executive experience? Here are their combined revised resumes of executive experience:
lol
September 3, 2008 - 13:51 ET by Conservative Voicedont forget their executive experience from running a campaign! :) You know you are reaching when you list that as your experience and absolutely ignore the fact she is governor of Alaska, rather you compare it to her experience as mayor.

September 3, 2008 - 01:10 ET by True_SoldierBarack Obama
age: 47
Law degree (like we need another lawyer)
experience:
ACORN community organizer
Aprox 180 days in the US Senate
a few years in the Illinois Senate
served on the board of CAC with William Ayers
used procedural challeges to rid himself of primary opponents
voted "present" more than 100 times
yeah great qualifications for a commander in chief. A guy with no real executive experience, who hangs around with unrepentent terrorists and racist preahcers, who has had to distance himself from numerous campaign advisors due to alleged ties to the terrorist group Hamas and cant even take a stand on votes in the Senate. Yeah that is the kind of leader we need (dripping with sarcasm).

Acorn workers indicted for alleged voter fraud
Acorn charged with voter fraud also in Washington
Virginia "56% of the voter registration applications ACORN turned in were ineligible."
Wisconsin: "The district attorney’s office investigated seven voter registration applications Project Vote employees filed in the names of people who said the group never contacted them."
Colorado: "An ACORN employee admitted to forging signatures and registering three of her friends to vote 40 times."
I could go on.
A Google search of ACORN and voter fraud turned up 41,000 hits. Many link back to the same incidences. But there are many of them.

Ignoring Palin's actual record
September 3, 2008 - 07:02 ET by ChrisMillsIt's sad to see a usually good contributor like Tech spitting out the same nonsense as the network news. God forbid we acknowledge real Palin accomplishments such as:
1) Negotiated and signed an international agreement with Canada on a gas pipeline (i.e., the rare governor with foreign policy experience)
2) Rejected federal tax dollars on the bridge to nowhere, which would have been an almost complete waste of our taxpayer money.
3) Sucessfully executed ethics violations on corrupt state politicians
4) Managed a multi-billion dollar Alaskan budget
5) Commands the Alaskan National Guard
By spewing out the same Dem talking points against Palin's experience when Obama is the singular most inexperienced candidate they could have possibly found (and by the way he's running for pres not VP) a conservative attacking Palin is just inching us closer to what would be the most disasterous pres'cy in our nation's history. PT, I'd recommend re-analyzing Palin's record. You should believe and say anything you want, but it's not a help to yourself or anyone to be deceiving yourself like this.
I didn't post her 'Record', I posted her 'Resume'
September 3, 2008 - 19:46 ET by PopularTechTry to figure out the difference but you post propaganda! Palin was for the bridge before she was against it...
Palin touts stance on 'Bridge to Nowhere,' doesn't note flip-flop (Anchorage Daily News)
Palin Supported the Bridge to Nowhere (Gravina Island Bridge) (Anchorage Daily News)
5. Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?
"Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now - while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist." - Sarah Palin, 2006
And the 'Commader of the Alaskan National Guard' is utter propaganda. She has no military experience.
I suggest you stop spinning Palin's limited experience with lies and propaganda.

Now let me ask you. Name 3 things that your god Barack Hussein Obama has accomplished that makes him qualified to be The president of The United States. I'll help you with a few:
1. He's black
2. He's black
3. He's black..................you'll need to help me here
4. OH YEAH,,,,, he impresses idiots quite readily, especially those who are dumb enough to listen to the MSM about Sarah Palin.
Obama is not qualified to be president

How long have you been a troll?
Do you ever get tired of posting the same crap over and over?
PALIN/McCain 2008
You’re defeating your own argument
September 3, 2008 - 11:31 ET by CobraManThank you for highlighting Sarah's extensive qualifications for the Vice President position, a position which, as you well know, actually REDUCES her demands of office over that of the position of Governor. Since she is qualified to hold the position of Governor (she is one, remember), it's obvious that she's more than qualified to become the Vice President. Nor only that, she looks good too! Her face would look GREAT printed on a bill, wouldn't you agree? How about we start a petition to have the Treasury Department start minting 5 Dollar Sarah Palin coins? Or don't you like the idea of carrying around a bit of Sarah in your pants?
I was wondering, could you give us Obama's list of qualifications too? You know for COMPARISON! I'd love to see how his qualifications stack up against hers. I know it's not fair since he's running for President and she is not, but it would be interesting to see how experienced he really is.
Oh, and you toss in Barr's as well? I'd love to see how HE compares to Palin.
Obama: My job is above my pay grade
Please keep spinning
September 3, 2008 - 19:57 ET by PopularTechHolding the position as governor for less than 2 years and only 1 budget cycle is not qualifications to be VP. Barry is more educated than Palin for one.

September 2, 2008 - 23:16 ET by RESTLESS 1I believe he said the same thing to Greta Van Sustren on her show when she asked a similar question. Good for Newt. From what I've seen so far, republicans are not going to take any BS from the media at this convention. Maybe the tireless work here at Newsbusters and like-minded conservative blogs are finally giving the RNC some balls.

September 3, 2008 - 00:50 ET by RESTLESS 1Yeah, and since she left, HP has doubled it's share price, and the credit is given to her by none other than Tom Perkins, one of her biggest critics at the time. According to Tom:
"Tom Perkins, 76, a venture capitalist then on the Hewlett-
Packard board whom Fiorina has said she considers the architect
of her ouster, praised her ``strategic mind'' and ``persuasive
powers,'' calling her a natural for politics.
Of the Compaq deal, Perkins said, 'Looking back on it now,
it was brilliant, and it wouldn't have happened without her.'"
Not to mention, she orchestrated the Lucent Technologies IPO, which was the biggest public offering ever at the time.
Yeah, what a loser she is.

September 3, 2008 - 01:07 ET by mom_roxK.O. snarkily noted how many times Fred Thompson coughed during his speech.
Please, Keith, tell us how many times Obama will say, "Uh", during his debates with McCain.

Excellent speach
September 3, 2008 - 15:18 ET by NorthCoasterby Fred, but I kept thinking "please take a sip of water".
What would you think about Newt or Fred for Press secretary? It would be fun to watch the daily briefings wouldn't it?
Let's fight these people...

I say we meet these rat bastards on the streets, if they're man enough. Perhaps they're too "woman".
Drill ANWAR
great idea, but....
September 3, 2008 - 02:31 ET by gordonI don't think it would be a fair fight. Not that we wouldn't have fun but I hate beating on people who can't defend themselves.
you may be right...
September 3, 2008 - 02:37 ET by AgentAmericanBut we have to do something. I think Sarah can defend herself!
Drill ANWAR
Even more experience is gained
September 3, 2008 - 08:12 ET by VonuIf the old guy fades away, Palin would have the added experience of serving as VP. McCain will put in place the administration, Sarah need only run it should he pass.
On the other hand, O will need to be ready on day one sans teleprompter. He already is looking tired.
More of Newt
September 3, 2008 - 08:21 ET by Lee BoggsYou Repubs are going to have to follow Newt's lead. I've seen too many interviews the last few days in which Republican smile and laugh off the biased questions from these media hacks. It's time to roll up your sleeves and throw down.
Mavericks should be encouraged
September 3, 2008 - 08:55 ET by JeffMavericks should be encouraged, if not required, to call out any reporter who asks an obviously 'gotcha' question. I was actually disappointed with McCain's response to the 'houses' question, when it was obviously intended to make him look bad. We need more Palins, Thompsons, and Gingricghes to firmly but politely stuff these 'journalists' empty heads with a little truth every time it's needed. Too bad if they don't like it. This tactic alone will be the prime distinction from the Bush years of acting with integrity, but always turning the other cheek.
...either we get our heads together about this war, or our enemies will surely separate them for us...
All replies
September 3, 2008 - 15:22 ET by NorthCoasterdone pleasantly with full facts and a SMILE. To press the point that, "if you knew the facts you wouldn't be asking that inane question".
Her Resume
September 3, 2008 - 08:35 ET by Pha PhaShe is not a lawyer. She hasd my vote.
BHO resume is all fluff.
Name that Position
September 3, 2008 - 11:41 ET by CobraMan"But to be fair, her resume is not something we're familiar seeing with presidential candidates."
That’s right, it has substance! Too bad she’s not actually a presidential candidate.

I caught this exchange on
September 3, 2008 - 15:18 ET by bigtimerI caught this exchange on Rush today...glad it is here too.
It is about time more and more repubs are fighting back...big time!
I have been waiting for so long for them to quit trying to appease the msm talking leftists and the other dems on different shows trying to gain favor with the public by being polite all the time..you can fight back like this without being rude...just state the facts, the truth will set us free....tons of people like me have waited a long time to see our side of the aisle start fighting back...
Better late than never...glad it took a woman to do this that the media are scared to death of.
Good job Newt!
