Why is it curious? You asked me what conservatives I like and I named like 5 conservatives, including Christie. Asked and answered. Why do I need to say more about Christie?
On the other, YOU mentioned Palin and Cain so I responded and told you what I think about the Alaskan crackpot and her brood. I should mention that I respect her son who served in the military. But he maintains a low profile and avoid reality TV. Good on him.
And as a general rule, I think governors make better presidential candidates than Senators, because of the executive experience. But, as has been pointed out above, you then tried to make being a part time mayor of a town with 8000 people into some great resume of executive experience. In fact it is nothing like being governor of a state.
And from all reports, her tenure as mayor was a joke. She was uniformly trashed by anyone that worked in government with her. The only people with anything good to say about her are her family and a close circle of friends that never worked with her or for her.
Anyone that dealt with her at arms length thought she was a narcissistic tool.
So, no, I don't count her part-time mayorship as REAL executive experience. And if i did, it would be LOUSY experience.
She realistically had 2 years of executive experience as governor, which is more than Obama when he ran for president. But NOT enough to overcome her boundless warts.
And you need to work on your reading comprehension. I have mentioned in a number of threads that I know you were in on that I did NOT vote of Obama in 2008. I voted Libertarian.
Stop trying to depict people who disagree with you as something they are not. We don't all fit into the cookie cutter molds that dominate your thinking. If it is any consolation, a lot of the lefties on this board do the exact same thing.
