Thoughts?

[mad_fan]

None...

[jtk1519]

1. Pink is not her color (needs more Earth tones).

2. Glad to hear her speak out against Paulson's bully proposal as it stands.

3. I wish she wasn't tied to McCain. You can tell she's having to restrain herself a bit to fit McCain's campaign.

4. Katie Couric is proof that network news is dead. Watching Katie is like watching blind mental patients play football.

[Vols4Ever]

My thoughts are I missed it -- because I am avoiding the news and tv right now --- it's too depressing. Plus I am far too busy in the early evenings right now anyways.

But my mind was made up who I was voting for last month -- so really, why waste my time?

She and McCain are Pseudo-Conservative and Obama is a Socialist. That's all I need to know.

[HebronHawk]

Couric's bias for Obama came through loud and clear in her responses to Palin's points.

[pack75]

Palin is absolutely clueless!

What a terrible pick made by McCain.:o

[farmerfan]

Palin lied about Obama.
Thats all they can do is lie, lie and lie.
Palin is all about dishonest politics. Its shameful :mad:

Are you trying to out "mad" mad?:D

[farmerfan]

Are you trying to out "mad" mad?:D

No.
That could never be done.
Mad is too much of a legend fro a drunk like me to even attempt and duplicate.

I am just having some fun with all of this. It seems that everything we hear now is a lie. It is cracking me up. It is then explained by saying that was taken out of context followed by crooked politics or Karl Rove politics.
I swear it doesnt take much to figure out whats next out of these politicians.

[farmerfan]

Palin's not only a liar but a racist too

Biden gaffes adding up against Obama campaign
Sheldon Alberts, Washington Correspondent, Canwest News Service
Published: Tuesday, September 23, 2008
WASHINGTON - Senator Joe Biden was spinning folksy one-liners with CBS News anchor Katie Couric the other night, when he offered this pearl of wisdom about how real leaders act during times of national crisis:

"When the stock market crashed (in 1929), Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened' "

It was a great sound bite except for two things: Herbert Hoover, not Roosevelt, was president at the time, and commercial television didn't exist.

[Vols4Ever]

Palin lied about Obama.

Anything that you don't like is a lie or a smear.....

Are you being sarcastic sir?

You're lying about what I like and don't like.
Typical racist, animal hating Republican response.
You guys are so ignorant

[chhspantherfan]

COURIC: Why is it much more challenging there (Afghanistan)? Can you explain that?

PALIN: The logistics that we are already suggesting here, not having enough troops in the area right now. The... things like the terrain even in Afghanistan and that border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where, you know, we believe that-- Bin Laden is-- is hiding out right now and... and is still such a leader of this terrorist movement.

There... there are many more challenges there. So, again, I believe that... a surge in Afghanistan also will lead us to victory there as it has proven to have done in Iraq. And as I say, Katie, that we cannot afford to retreat, to withdraw in Iraq. That's not gonna get us any better off in Afghanistan either.

And as our leaders are telling us in our military, we do need to ramp it up in Afghanistan, counting on our friends and allies to assist with us there because these terrorists who hate America, they hate what we stand for with the... the freedoms, the democracy, the... the women's rights, the tolerance, they hate what it is that we represent and our allies, too, and our friends, what they represent. If we were... were to allow a stronghold to be captured by these terrorists then the world is in even greater peril than it is today. We cannot afford to lose in Afghanistan.

Get an absolute spike in her ratings on SNL. Some of my all time favorite snl skits are the political ones. All though this begs the question is it really a great skit if given such great fodder by palin herself.

[Firebird]

COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land-- boundary that we have with-- Canada. It-- it's funny that a comment like that was-- kind of made to-- cari-- I don't know, you know? Reporters--

COURIC: Mock?

PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia--
COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state.

This is Miss Teen South Carolina territory, folks. Actually, I am reminded of the following Dan Quayle gem:

Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is IN
the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that
is right here.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle,
Hawaii, September 1989

The National Review weighs in


Palin didn’t make a mess cracking the glass ceiling. She simply glided through it.

It was fun while it lasted.

Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted.

Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood. Cut the verbiage and there’s not much content there. Here’s but one example of many from her interview with Hannity: “Well, there is a danger in allowing some obsessive partisanship to get into the issue that we’re talking about today. And that’s something that John McCain, too, his track record, proving that he can work both sides of the aisle, he can surpass the partisanship that must be surpassed to deal with an issue like this.”

When Couric pointed to polls showing that the financial crisis had boosted Obama’s numbers, Palin blustered wordily: “I’m not looking at poll numbers. What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at track records and see who’s more apt to be talking about solutions and wishing for and hoping for solutions for some opportunity to change, and who’s actually done it?”

If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.

It's William F. Buckley's magazine and probably the most widely read conservative news/commentary magazine in the nation. They were all over the Palin pick after the RNC and now even THEY realize what a stupid freaking move it was by McCain.

dishonest politics. Its shameful :mad:

Surely you gest!

Are you not aware that all of our "public servants" are sacrificing their lives in washington to "serve" their country and its citizens?

Surely NONE of them would be liars or deceitful in any way to support their agenda or that of a perk pushing lobbyist:D

just like people like you who will defend Biden (who has how many years experience?)

what a joke:rolleyes:

[twcpfan1]

Of course in Biden's case, he doesn't even need to be under duress from a non supportive antagonistic interviewer like Couric to come up with these gems. He just does it naturally by being himself.

I think his implication is that your incessant picking on Palin and your lack of picking on Biden for being equally ignorant, in a different way, shows a political bias....he wants you to be more fair and balanced.....

Did you have a safe trip?

Yes, I had a safe trip. I just hate those damn speed bumps yall have everywhere. Ugh.

Heard a guy this monrning on the Jeff Bolton show on 570 in Dallas. Guest was a reporter covering the McCain campaign. They talked about the debate Friday night and then the one coming up Thursday.

He stated that the expectations for Palin were VERY high. Primarily due to the fact that they have been keeping her from the media and she has been/will be in Sedona AZ at a McCain compund preparing for it. The theory was that this will be her show since she has not been in the public.

Kind of interesting way of thinking.

I've heard that they are working to keep expectations low, as she has not done a lot of debating. We'll see.

Ive been quiet in the political threads here lately. :confused:

Dont make me tell " The Barack Obama Truth Squad " on you ( theres a good laugh, thanks to Farmerfan ). They will come arrest you and put you in jail. :D

I've heard that they are working to keep expectations low, as she has not done a lot of debating. We'll see.

That's exactly what I was thinking and why I found it interesting. I assumed the whole thought was to keep it low and if she does well, then awesome, if not it's not her forte. She is a down home type person.

Both Bolton and the reporter hd exactly different thoughts. Weird.

You really can't make this stuff up:

Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you've said you have been listening to Joe Biden's speeches since you were in second grade.

Gov. Palin: It's been since like '72, yah.

Katie Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate, is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden's been around awhile?

Gov. Palin: Oh no, it's nothing negative at all. He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.

[pied]

McCain Palin respond to recent flak:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/29/eveningnews/main4487826.shtml

Katie Couric: Over the weekend, Gov. Palin, you said the U.S. should absolutely launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan to, quote, "stop the terrorists from coming any further in." Now, that's almost the exact position that Barack Obama has taken and that you, Sen. McCain, have criticized as something you do not say out loud. So, Gov. Palin, are you two on the same page on this?

Sarah Palin: We had a great discussion with President Zardari as we talked about what it is that America can and should be doing together to make sure that the terrorists do not cross borders and do not ultimately put themselves in a position of attacking America again or her allies. And we will do what we have to do to secure the United States of America and her allies.

Couric: Is that something you shouldn't say out loud, Sen. McCain?

John McCain: Of course not. But, look, I understand this day and age of "gotcha" journalism. Is that a pizza place? In a conversation with someone who you didn't hear … the question very well, you don't know the context of the conversation, grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don't announce that you're going to attack another country …

Couric: Are you sorry you said it?

McCain: … and the fact …

Couric: Governor?

McCain: Wait a minute. Before you say, "is she sorry she said it," this was a "gotcha" sound bite that, look …

Couric: It wasn't a "gotcha." She was talking to a voter.

McCain: No, she was in a conversation with a group of people and talking back and forth. And … I'll let Gov. Palin speak for herself.

[pied]

You really can't make this stuff up:

Biden/Palin answer the same question:

Couric: Are there Supreme Court decisions you disagree with?

Biden: You know, I'm the guy who wrote the Violence Against Women Act. And I said that every woman in America, if they are beaten and abused by a man, should be able to take that person to court - meaning you should be able to go to federal court and sue in federal court the man who abused you if you can prove that abuse.

But they said, "No, that a woman, there's no federal jurisdiction." And I held, they acknowledged, I held about 1,000 hours of hearings proving that there's an effect in interstate commerce.

Women who are abused and beaten and beaten are women who are not able to be in the work force. And the Supreme Court said, "Well, there is an impact on commerce, but this is federalizing a private crime and we're not going to allow it." I think the Supreme Court was wrong about that decision.

Couric: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?

Palin: Well, let's see. There's, of course in the great history of America there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but …

Couric: Can you think of any?

Palin: Well, I could think of … any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But, you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.
