Almost immediately after Palin was named McCain's VP pick, the McCain campaign started bragging about her "executive experience" as well as her "commander in chief experience" of the Alaska National Guard.
However, soon the truth of the matter--that Palin had very little to do with the National Guard--became apparent, especially once the real commander of the Gard (Major General Craig Campbell, made statements that refuted Palin's claims. The McCain-Paln campaign spokesperson, TuckerBounds, during the GOP convention, then became the object of redicule when he tried to explain on CNN about Palin's foreign-policy experience. However, miraculously and very suddenly, Major Genral Campbell completely flipped on his story and, by the end of the convention he was praising Palin's experience, telling the TV viewers that she had taken cotrol of Alaska's National Guard and was a great leader. Would you be surprised to learn that, only three days later, Palin promoted him with his third star, to the rank of Lt. General! Prior to his flipping, Campbell had not been at all helpful to Palin's campaign. Suddenly, he has become one of her most ardent supporters. So the nation gets a birds-eye view of how Palin gets her way--and it certainly isn't ethical, especially if it involves whoring a General for political purposes. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
