Palin Regrets Not Doing More Interviews; Again Denies Africa, NAFTA Confusion
ABC News’ Tahman Bradley Reports: Reflecting back on the presidential campaign, Sarah Palin now wishes she had spent more time talking with the media.
In an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, the Alaska governor explains what she would have discussed had she been more available to the press.
"I would have preferred more opportunity to speak to the media more often, because there were a lot of things that I think it could have, should have said that could have, would have helped John McCain," Palin told Van Susteren, according to a Fox News transcript. "I have such great admiration for him. I honor him. I love him. I believe that he is the best leader that we have in the nation right now, still, is John McCain."
The McCain campaign went to great lengths to shield Palin from press interaction. She avoided all interviewers for two weeks immediately after being announced as the Republican Party’s vice presidential candidate and she rarely was made available to the McCain campaign traveling press corp. She did, however, take part in high-profile interviews with the three network evening news anchors. Commentators noted that Palin’s performances in those interviews — especially her sit-down with CBS’s Katie Couric — fell short of reassuring voters that she was prepared to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
On other issues discussed in the Van Susteren interview, Palin again refuted the suggestion that she did not know which countries participate in the North American Free Trade Agreement and that Africa is a continent. Palin loaded her answers with details, perhaps trying to show there’s no way she could have made the alleged flops reported by Fox’s Carl Cameron.
On NAFTA, she said, "I remember that discussion, but there was never a question about, well, who are the participants in NAFTA? So for my discussion there to be spun into something that it was not and then being broadcast on national television, again, based on anonymous sources, that’s been another puzzling thing to me."
On Africa, "So we discussed what was going on in Africa. And never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or is it a continent. I just don’t know about this issue. So I don’t know how they took our one discussion on Africa and turned that into what they turned it into," said Palin.
"I don’t know, because I remember the discussion about Africa, my concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue, as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars, I wanted to make sure that that didn’t happen anymore."

ok–she has again demonstrated why the mccain camp kept her away from the press. the woman is incapable of constructing a complete, grammatical sentence. it is all but impossible to garner any meaning from the incomprehensible gibberish she strings together.
she reminds me of the student who, when confronted with an essay question on the exam that he knows nothing about, starts writing about whatever pops into his head that might be remotely related. he keeps writing and writing, hoping that if he just puts enough words down, the answer might be discovered amongst them.

Seriously? She wished she had done more interviews? Has she ever watched one of her interviews or read the transcripts from one? I had to read her comments above multiple times just to get a partial grasp on what she was trying to say.
This is a person with a journalism degree? People should be destroying the school where she got that degree as proof that they graduate unqualified people.

Sarah Palin had her 15 minutes, She will be relegated to a footnote in presidential politics. However, since Alaskan’s seem to think it’s OK to elect a convicted felon as their senator. It would not surprise me to see Sarah Palin elected senator some day.

I wonder how many of these lame witted critics can even find Africa on a map! Yet they let their mouths run without engaging their brains in an attempt to make themselves sound intelligent. I for one applaud Sarah Palin for her courage to even stand up in front of these idiots and try, albeit vainly, to hold an intelligent discussion! Some people are just to stupid for their own good. All I can say is “YOU (the voters) should have been more careful in who you elected! Frankly I think we’re all on a very unstable ship and to our dismay we now have an armature at the helm!

Right, after she finally learned how to string more than one sentence together she now wishes she could have done it more. She is now proving her critics right. She is an empty overambitious fool. Every come back needs to start with a little pull back and introspection. But not Sarah (Its everybody else’s fault I am an idiot) Palin. Let’s go out and keep running like the election is still on. She needs to go back to her “real America” and leave the rest of America alone.

When she has to keep giving interviews to clean up her interviews- mostly because she can’t construct a complete sentence! The sentences just run on and on with every sound bite known to politics. Spare me from four (or eight) more years of this!!

Since McCain didn’t vet her before naming her as his running mate, allow the rest of the country to.
Sarah Palin, everytime you open your mouth, you only make things worse for yourself and what’s left of the John McCain “vision”. I liked you best when you were first announced and hadn’t yet opened your mouth. Please, go away and move on with your life in Alaska. And fer chrissakes girl, STOP doing interviews.

Someone needs to publish a translation book on ‘Palin-Speak’ so whenever we visit Alaska we can understand what the hell they’re all talking about up there.

Why don’t you take some time off and PLAN a wedding for your pregnant dropout daughter and her dropout boyfriend? A good ole Republican values wedding. Oh, and don’t forget to INVITE THE PRESS…maybe People Mag, US Mag,and Okay! Mag…and especially all the FOX entertainment shows! A real hoedown, I’m sure.

Greta interviewed her before the election and I read a quote from her that she thought Sarah was great — she LOVED her — so I imagine that she DID fall for it all once again since it’s still the same old bag of smoke and mirrors. If she were packaged differently, would anyone listen?
Posted by: kathryn | November 10, 2008, 4:12 pm 4:12 pm
Sarah is misunderstood because she is honest and forthright. DC can’t handle it. We are so used to lies and hypocrisy, that we can’t recognize a real true honest person with integrity.
We’ll need her in 2012 believe me. It’s gonna get bad…really bad.

I agree with so many of the previous commenters: why doesn’t she just shut up (and go away)? Her protests and excuses surely won’t persuade anyone. She’s just an intellectual lightweight. It’s not like she’s the only one, but most of the others don’t stand up in public and make fools of themselves.
Posted by: dj | November 10, 2008, 4:14 pm 4:14 pm
Yeah Kerri, right. WE should have been more careful not to elect a Harvard educated man who is an expert in constitutional law. Instead we should have picked a bumbling idiot who can’t put a simple sentence together and went to six schools before finally graduating college. Riiiight. I lost all respect for Alaskans when they re-elected a Senator who was convicted (and is going to jail) for stealing their money. Smart move. geez.

Typically, when an individual cannot argue a position based on the merits of his (or her) position, they resort to attacking the person they disagree with. I see a lot of folks attacking Sarah directly (some particularly vile remarks) as opposed to discussing the merits of her positions. Pretty sad that so called “intelligent voters” cannot do better….

You lefties just can’t trash Sarah Palin enough can you? She drew crowds like Obama did without the free concerts and food. Makes no difference what you say, a very large segment of the population loved her just for herself. The woman is a very successful governor with an 85% approval rating in her state. (You can’t fool all of the people all of the time so, she must not be fooling!) You also can’t be a very successful governor of any state without a brain.

Why are they still whipping this dead horse? It reminds me of all the Britney Spears stories which keep popping up. The mindless should have their own news source, to keep them up to the minute on all these useless people that the majority of us could care less about. It’s like Mick Jagger said when the Stones were catapulted to fame, when arrested for urinating in an alley “There is no such thing as bad publicity”. No matter how stupid Palin is, or however abundantly clear she keeps making it, there are still idiots who hang on her every utterance as though she is privileged to some top secret knowledge. Obviously even the majority of Republicans found the thought of her becoming a step away from President scary. Yet there are those room temperature I.Q.’s who are hoping she runs in 2012. Perhaps the Mayan calendar is correct.
Personally, I’ve heard enough about “Joe six pack”, “Joe the Plumber” and twice runner up Sarah Palin. I suspect that even some snowbillies in Alaska are seeing her in a different light these days and perhaps even a second term as Governor could be beyond her grasp, much like a complete sentence, you betchya, wink, wink!

Wow – why are people so stinking hateful??? You can choose not to vote for someone without being so ugly. No wonder our country is in such a mess. I had no desire to see Obama as president, but that doesn’t mean I found it necessary to say ugly things about him. I’ve never seen such hate and spite in our country – that worries me more than the economy or anyone’s position on issues. That is what will destroy us.

We don’t need a president who went to five — count ‘em, FIVE — universities before graduating. Who does that??? And what possible reason could there be for doing that? Just another example of her lack of depth and focus. But the worst thing about someone like her is that she really believes that she knows enough, that she doesn’t have much more to learn. She is clueless, and we’ve had enough of that — look where it’s gotten us.

A great many people who commented on here obviously have the degree of intelligence they are claiming for Palin. If you read the quotes carefully you will see that they have ran a number of statements together. Amazing how the media can make someone look stupid simply by misquoting them…err…wait!

How can Ms. Palin be so upset by the media spin? She was the one that was spinning all the negative lies about our President elect. It doesn’t feel good, but Senator O’Bama took it like a gentleman.

To the comment posted by poor Kerri. LoL. NEWS FLASH, we all just jumped off the unstoppable ship called the GW Express and have finally been rescued by the Obama Air Lift. As for Palin, give me a break. How can you seriously back an individual who has no merit or relevance to a position deperatly in need of an individual with an IQ over 150? She’s a strong woman to be sure but she is in no way qualified to be near the presidency. Anyone who feels differently needs to get their GED.

Sarah, just stop lying! We all know perfectly well you did take the $150,000 worth of clothes and you intended to keep them until you got caught. You are also dumb and don’t know when to keep your trap shut. Since you are still being paid to be Governor of Alaska, why not stay there and do that job for awhile? Maybe you’ll learn something!

All the hateful comments on this board disgust me and is the reason why this country will remain divided into blue and red states. The cruel comments on here are certainly nothing like the ‘unity’ your leader Obama is asking for.
I can’t wait for 2010 when the GOP starts to peel congressional seats back from the Dems and then in 2012 when we agree to take the country back from Obama after he’s screwed up. Obama = Carter II.
Dems – McCain ran a horrible campaign and failed to get republicans out to vote for him. Turnout this year was the same as 2004 and Obama didn’t do much better then Kerry. Get ready for 2012…your hateful comments about Palin shows you’re scared…otherwise you wouldn’t waste your time on here…

You lefties just can’t trash Sarah Palin enough can you? She drew crowds like Obama did without the free concerts and food.

All the mindless Bush haters have to have somewhere else to pour their hate that is based on their twisted combination of self-loathing and arrogance. So Sarah Palin is the target.
To all you Bush, now Palin haters. What in the world are you going to do with all your hate when Jan 20th comes around?
You know I didn’t vote for Obama and also disagree with many of his policies. But I WON’T be trashing him like you did Bush for so many years. I have plenty of ammunition already to trash him with, but instead I tell people, “He’s my president and I will support him where I can and where I can’t I will respectively disagree.”.
Why don’t you try that next time instead of being so hate filled?

My son’s coaches are always saying “leave it on the field,” i.e. do your best during the game and then walk away, win or lose, ready for the next one. You don’t see McCain giving a constant stream of post-mortems justifying himself or the campaign. It was what it was, move on. SP, despite all those hours rinkside and on her own bball court, has not yet picked up this basic tenet of teamwork. As a working woman, I see every day that not “leaving it on the field” is a key component keeping more women from advancing professionally — they don’t get it. The less you say the better, Sarah. Quit the kaffeeklatch re-hashing of who dissed who, you sound like a 9th grader.
Of course as a happy Obamabot, I say: you go, girlfren, keep talkin’ as long as they’re willin’ to put a mic in front of ya.

Shoot something and get her frustrations out. Stop talking to the press; she is only making matters worse. Let it go Sarah! You called Barack Obama a terrorist and a socialist now you are being called a diva and an airhead. We didn’t see him whining. Suck it up woman! That is what the big political girls and boys do.

I for one am grateful she didn’t give more interviews. Her ignorance is terrifying, particularly when she could have wound up running the country, or at least blathering ignorantly but dogmatically for four years as VP about numerous topics she knows nothing about. Finally, the nightmare has ended. She thinks John McCain is the best leader that we have in the nation right now–now there’s a sought-after endorsement to be envied! I wonder who she thinks should be King of Africa–maybe Todd? John McCain’s choice of Palin is proof of his UNfitness. (I must admit to a morbid fascination with her jaw-dropping incompetence, but like most vices, it’s a complete waste of life).

AntiJake – Palin and Obama have the same problem: “… is incapable of constructing a complete, grammatical sentence.

I think it’s interesting that I’ve heard her defend her knowledge of Africa several times, and she’s never brought up anything but Darfur.

A more interesting question would be how many can find the USA on a map. I recall National Geographic or some organization some years ago doing just such a study. The results were embarrassing.
I am not standing in judgment on geographic knowledge in general (there are countries in the world that I have difficulty finding and geography is not a strong subject in the US);
However, I CAN find my own country on any map.
As for Palin, her team lost. Why do Obama supporters continue to rag on her? You do realize she is going back to Alaska (now how many can find IT on a map)? Why do even care what she does or says anymore?
Is criticizing her and calling her an airhead conducive to unity? Will it help to overcome divisiveness? Negativity? Or do those things only apply when a non-Democrat is the source of the criticisms?
There’s a word for that. Oh yes, hypocrisy.

People who blame the media should step back a moment and look at where the fault is.
The media did not create the negativity toward Palin.
Palin created it herself and could have corrected the problem herself.
The question then is why she did not correct the problem.
Based on interviews, discussions and the Debate and a Long Phone Call, the problem is that Palin does not have the intelligence nor the common sense it takes to be President.
Common sense and intelligence are analytical and intellectual qualities that are REQUIREMENTS for a President or VP.
There is nothing Sexist about wanting to have a person that has brains and common sense be our Vice President or President.

Why is it everyone assumes all these negative comments on Palin come from the Obama camp? Notice all the comments about him are grim period, where as the comments on Palin are specific.
Maybe a lot of these comments come form disgusted Republicans..
Perhaps it is that very thing of casting the other camp in a grim negative light with out any details or facts period, yet ignoring in whole the mistakes of their own party members that lost the GOP this election. I for one would like to see the GOP get back to being the grand old party and stop all this stupid name calling and childish defaming of others. Perhaps even take a moment to only put forth candidates that actually represent americans and the GOP. Perhaps tell all the religious nut jobs and plain old stupid people to keep their thoughts to them selves and let the GOP back into America’s trust.

Well, Kerri, you’re right: some people are TOO stupid . . . you for instance, who misspelled the word “too” as “to,” for God’s sake. You then try, “albeit vainly” to write an intelligent sentence, such as the one where you refer to an ARMATURE (!!) at the helm. Do you know what an armature is? It’s a part of an electric motor. The word, in case you’re interested, is AMATEUR –you know, like yourself when you try to spell! No wonder you admire that over-caffientated dim bulb from a state where it’s so cold, her synapses just up and froze shut.

I wasn’t bothered as much as most here about her style of speaking. To me that was on the plus side of the ledger. I can be grossed out by talking suits who are too perfect. She’s human. Some of the comments here are offensive, but this is the internet. Republicans waffle on everything. My comment is also that I believe it is offensive to hunt (kill) things. It is grotesque to have seen her with the gun and the dead animal. I will end with a quote in a moment, but again, it is physically sickening to me to know that so many people love to blow stuff away– whether it be in words or with tools. But wake up people: this is what is not right about that very way of thinking, the constant undertone of hostility. “He kills wildlife by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative and fatal health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Mankind, who kills so easily and so violently and then once a year sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth.”

Listen up people. That there Sarah Palin knows what she is supposed to be referring to as far as the geography goes there. I mean, after all,Africa starts with an A, just like Alaska, you see. Also, she knows it’s way far away, just like..well you know. So they, Alaska and Africa, have a lot in common. HA!!!

You know the guy who stays too long to the party, while the hosts are waiting to go to bed, and the jokes aren’t funny anymore and there is NOTHING you can say to bring the party back??? that’s you.

How did she get elected as governor in Alaska? I think her strategy is to fan separatist sentiments. She was using the same strategy even in her presidential campaign. She is going to return in 2012 and I hope people are well informed before she can spark a civil war.

Typically, when an individual cannot argue a position based on the merits of his (or her) position, they resort to attacking the person they disagree with. I see a lot of folks attacking Sarah directly (some particularly vile remarks) as opposed to discussing the merits of her positions. Pretty sad that so called “intelligent voters” cannot do better….

I guess now we know why Sarah hopped around to 6 different colleges before she found one that was willing to give her a degree inspite of her inability to think or communicate clearly.
She seems to memorize pretty well, but she forgets the order of the talking points and they really come out garbled.

The real story that the Liberal media is trying to cover up this week (leaked by interns at ABC and CNN) is that the Obama camp has temporarily stopped naming Cabinet appointments because of growing anger from some African American groups over the choice of Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff. More diversity was expected from his first choice. Some Black civic groups are quietly demanding a minimum of 4 top level cabinet appointments of African Americans, or will go public with their dissatisfaction

At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
“Take only ONE. God is watching.”
An Obama supporter comes by reads the note and says: “I don’t believe in God, and I don’t like apples, but I’ll take em all anyway and give them to my buddies.”

Can you (or some other kind person from the south) please explain why all the southern folk I know (and love) spell “ya’ll” this way. A former girlfriend from Mississippi could never explain why. I’m hoping you can.
I am actually curious. Logic dictates it be spelled y’all – a contraction of you + all. Kind of like “can’t” isn’t “ca’nt” and “isn’t” isn’t “is’nt.”
My Yankee spell checker even prefers my spelling.

This woman is glad she and McCain were not elected. Her “good ole gal” mannerisms are annoying, because she believes thats what the public wants. It may work in Alaska, but not in the lower 48. And even if we listen to a good ole boy every once in a while, we do expect some intelligence come out once in a while.

your being to hard on yourself Sarah. Obama said we had 57 states and he ignored reporters about that statement. do the same. no matter how educated one is, we all mess up. i agree she didn’t have enought time to compete with the rest. most of the time was spent between obama and hillary. mcacain maybe taugh that obama would have chosen hillary as running mate. who knows. she came into the race to late and too many people weren’t sure and at last minute she spent her time defending herself. Mccain should be proud of his accomplishments also and will still be in politics forever. ted kennedy was never president yet he has done a lot and so can he. it just wasn’t meant to be and that’s not your fault. the repubs should have been more united but time ran out. bush could have delayed the economy news for 3 more weeks. cheney endorsing mccain at last minute was a slap since he knew majority were looking forward to the end of their term. oh well, maybe next time. love mccain and sarah but have to admit the world is better off with the change we have seen. america is ounce again admired for electing a young and different man. wish repubs had spent more time talking to military since they are the ones sacrificing their lives for our freedom. not enough pr and too much time spent on bogus bailout. aig is having fun. they were the first bailout and by the time the 700b came along people were getting angry and on and on. anyway, don’t blame yourself because for every step forward yoou made someone else was pushing you back, way back. i still think the media did a lot for the sake of tim russell as he wanted obama to win. even cheney mentioned wanting to be obama’s vp, if asked. repubs didn’t show up for bailout meeting, another sign they were indifferent to mcacain. it just wasn’t meant to be bu considering what you both did after the fights between obama and hillary, i think you both did great. luv yah, and will always respect mr mccain as well.

One has to be on fairly firm ground to challenge the intelligence of others and I think you failed that test more than once. Saying people are just “to stupid” is an oxymoron and speaks volumes about your education. The fact that you do not seem to be a Sarah Palin supporter makes your comment take on a whole other dimension that is a little disconcerting.

You want to know why Obama supporters are being so “hateful”?
The GOP insulted the intelligence of Americans (especially women!) with her selection, and then she denounced Obama as someone who “pals around with terrorists” and “experiments with socialism” and failed to admonish her supporters shouting death threats towards the opposition. She implied that Democrats support the destruction of their own country, the same year she was filming the introduction for the Alaskan Independence Party convention.
Now, after several displays of idiocy on national networks and losing a national election, she appears on Fox News, OF HER OWN VOLITION, and complains that she wasn’t treated fairly.
The answer to your question has been posted in many comments on this very board: Because she lost, yet she refuses to stop running her mouth.
She’s about to feel the rough side of America’s pimp-hand.

About the only clear answer he gave last Friday delt with the family dog. Eventually, when the honeymoon is over, Obama is going to have to actually do something (instead of talking about it).

Palin keeps confusing the evil “mainstream media” with a marketing or PR agency. She seems under some delusion that the person being interviewed is in charge of the interview and that the interviewer is there to promote their subject’s agenda.
While the subject can certainly have things they want to say and should develop the skills necessary to introduce those into their answers, they do NOT get to dictate the experience.
Thank goodness we dodged the Palin bullet. Let’s keep up the good work!

It’s obvious that no one wants to hear from Palin again, unless it’s on SNL. So why is Greta Van Susteren interviewing her? Her butchering of the english language should be a crime. I will now forever link FOX News and Greta (the female version of Bill O’Reilly) to Sarah Palin. By the way, she is dumb and ignorant but McCain would have lost no matter who he picked. Basically he wasn’t a whole lot better than she was.

sobe: “She’ll be back.”
Maybe, but she’s dug herself a deeper hole than did Dan Quayle. He also ran for the Republican nomination but didn’t get it. My guess is that’s her fate, too.
And that of course is assuming she wins that special election. Her Alaska approval ratings have dropped significantly during this campaign, so while I wouldn’t bet against her, I wouldn’t bet the farm on her being a senator, either.
I think quite a few Alaskans are embarrassed by her – I know the state’s largest newspaper is.

CyberFerret, by saying “a very large segment of the population”, are you referring to the rapidly shrinking extreme right conservative evangelist population? You must be, because those are the only people who support Palin and see anything of value in her. The other 80% of 21st century Americans see her as an abomination, a joke and an insult to American politics. And BTW, her approval rating in Alaska is down to 60% according to several news reports. With the price of oil down below $70 a barrel, those big oil rebate checks all her constituents look forward to will be a lot smaller now. That’s going to take some major shine off Sarah’s star, because those checks are why they like her so much.

Sarah – do us all a favor and ride off into history.
She’s governor of a state smaller than many cities in this country. She also was forced to hire a city manager in Wasilla after she botched the job as mayor. Please – no more about what a great leader she is. You can put lipstick on a … well … you know!

The more Palin talks, the more she digs herself a deeper hole. Before she does anymore interviews, it would be prudent for her to learn how to construct sentences.
Posted by: ohiopolitico | November 10, 2008, 5:21 pm 5:21 pm
Ah, all those double jointed liberals who didn’t know what to do with Sarah, are still picking lint out of their pockets.
Here is a news flash, Mad Cow didn’t like her because she was too old fashioned, and Obermino slammed her at every turn.
But what really bothers most of you is the fact that she spoke from the heart, and didn’t smother you with political craponia. She was and is, a Mother. She cares about people and children and this doesn’t fit well in the “who’s your momma (daddy) family.
Buck up people, she will be back, because without Palin to kick around anymore…the networks won’t really know what to do with themselves. So you will get to grumble and gripe til your budwiser gets stail.
After all, 84% of Alaskans, can’t be wrong…and that is a good number for any “yes we can” politican to strive for.
Posted by: John Birch | November 10, 2008, 5:21 pm 5:21 pm
Hey ABC, could you possibly not bunch several sentences into a single incomprehensible sentence? Try this:
“I don’t know, because I remember the discussion about Africa. My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue. As we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there, that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars. I wanted to make sure that that didn’t happen anymore.”
I know that stringing all of these sentences together as a single sentence makes her seem idiotic, but you take a breather from making her seem idiotic? The elction is over now, after all.

William, I think there is an element of truth to what you’re saying. Remember independents decide elections, and I think its safe to say independents don’t think much of her.
Independents are kind of particular about things like that. When someone runs for national office, we expect them to be able to speak coherently. I mean Bush often didn’t, but at first we assumed he could; he just didn’t want to.
So if the Republicans want to rally around Palin and make her the standard bearer, have at it. Good luck to them.

instead of rumors, gossip, hate why not go to greta on the record interview with sarah on right now.
this level of hate and intolerance is disgusting by the way.
i was willing to give obama a chance but some of these comments just keep old wounds open-too bad.

Governor Palin has some disturbing characteristics of a dangerous demagogue:
“Secret Service: Palin Comments Led to Spike in Obama Threats
The Secret Service has disclosed Republican attacks led to a spike in death threats against Barack Obama during the final weeks of the presidential campaign. According to Newsweek magazine, threats on Obama’s life peaked after then-Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin accused him of “palling around with terrorists.” Palin was referring to Obama’s tenuous ties to William Ayers, who once hosted a gathering for Obama during his first run for office.”

Andrew. “The other 80% of 21st century Americans see her as an abomination, a joke and an insult to American politics”. Really? I think Obama got 53% of the vote. McPalin got 46%. As unpopular as Bush is, you think the Messiah would be a little more dominant.
Posted by: Dr3vil | November 10, 2008, 5:25 pm 5:25 pm
But what really bothers most of you is the fact that she spoke from the heart, and didn’t smother you with political craponia. She was and is, a Mother.
————————-
Spoke from the heart? You mean slammed and attacked at every turn.
****************************************
She cares about people and children and this doesn’t fit well in the “who’s your momma (daddy) family.

Fairly offensive here yourself. But this long time married mother did not agree with anything this woman stands for.

The fact that she actually chose to seriously answer those questions regarding NAFTA and Africa as a continent actually raises questions in my mind as to whether the allegations made by the McCain aide are true. I mean those are not serious questions, and all she had to was smile and say, “Gretta do you seriously expect me to dignify that question?” and squash it right there. But the fact that she continues to go on and on about it to more than one news agency makes me wonder if perhaps she really did not know those things about NAFTA and also Africa. In some ways I feel sorry for her because obviously her ego is straining to drag her along and it has got to be hard on her family and her self esteem. She just go to Alaska, focus on doing the best she can there, and then maybe rejoining national politics at some other time.

“”Greta interviewed her before the election and I read a quote from her that she thought Sarah was great — she LOVED her.”"
Greta HAD to say that in order that she can get an interview with Palin. And an interview with Palin means VIEWERSHIP!!
It’s just like how sometimes the producers of American Idol or AGT would put a total clown-case through to the next round to generate controversy and viewership…
So, sorry folks. I feel sorry for American women, that the world may now be getting the impression that: hey, are American women only as smart as THIS??
But unfortunately, Palin is too valuable a piece of tabloid fodder for the networks to leave her alone any time soon. Talk-shows are now saying they may soon be out of comic material, now that there’s no longer a buffoon in the White House to poke fun at. Media jobs depend on Palin’s continued public appearances!!

Every day I assume Gov. Pailin would have the common sense and political savy to “shut the f.. up” and return to the job of governing Alaksa. But no, WITLESS FROM WASILLA is addicted to the spotlight. Nothing sexist about it. Her mentor, Newtie Gingrich, had the same issues. In short, not enough mustard in the world for this “hot dog”.
Finally to ‘holdfam1′- Listen, dillweed “Shrub” is the Pres. until Jan 20, 2009. So keep waiting for the ‘action’ until then. I hope you choke on your tax increase. Finally, these ‘Messiah’ comment is religiously offensive and demeaning to Jesus. Knock it off!

Sarah was a perfect choice for republicans,Since when did they care whether a person made any sense or not, just look at George Bush and even his father. What a mess they made of the English language, indeed whole books have been written of their convoluted and puzzling comments.
The Republicans could understand every word of course because they never listen to a politician that closely. Simple and very basic Ideology is all that counts to them, so I’m sure Sarah is not out of the story yet.

She should stop aploogizing and start offering reasons why she should be taken seriously as a 2012 contender. Palin — SarahSixPack.com — ought to use the bully pulpit she has over the next few weeks to reset her resume in the public’s eyes. That’s an uphill climb, fersure!
Posted by: edwards | November 10, 2008, 5:30 pm 5:30 pm
Yeah, I wonder if Governor Palin knew that consumers didn’t have TV sets during the Great Depression and that Roosevelt wasn’t president when the stock market crashed? Or I wonder if she knew that it was Hillary who held seances and not Nancy Reagan?
You’d love Sarah Palin if she came out of San Francisco and wanted to yank them unborn ‘parasites’ right out of those women who didn’t want to be inconvenienced.
If McCain and Palin had won, there is NO WAY the Democrats would be wanting to support them and sing ‘Imagine’ in perfect harmony because, after all, we are the world and Kumbaya, Lord, Kumbaya!
I know that because of the treatment of our current president. So don’t even try to go there.
As for smarts, what about those voters who voted for Obama thinking that the president has the ability to ‘fix’ or ‘control’ the economy? That power doesn’t exist in this country. That’s civics 101. Now, in a Communist system…but that’s a different matter-for now anyway.
What about the ones in Taxachusetts who just voted in Barney Franks yet again (shakes head) even though he was at the crux of the GSE debacle and thus the current economic disaster?
Yeah, real smart, well-informed voters out there.

But they also told me he’s the Messiah. And, well, I wasn’t taking the chance the GOP was lying. I figured voting against the Messiah might look bad on the list of pros and cons St. Peter would be holding at the pearly gates. So I voted for him.

She’s a real life soap opera – when not speaking about palling around with terrorists – we now talk about how much clothing was returned – and why people who speak out against this gift to us all are “jerks”. As a country we have real problems – and finally have a leader worthy of their resolution. Hopefully she’ll go back to doing the job the people of Alaska elected her do.

OK, Palin claims to be a Christian. “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” is one of those basic Judeo-Christian demands. But Palin lied about Obama. Said he was “Palin’ around with terrorists…” And that he was a socialist. Maybe she’s getting a taste of her own medicine.

The real problem is with the republican party and people like Huckabee. Think of how Mitt Romney would have done – another Harvard guy, great on the economy, and no connection to Bush. Instead the republicans go with losers like Huckabee.
Now the McCain camp is beating the one thing they had going for them – Palin. Weasels.

Someone who can bring the blacks and hispanics into their fold. Someone who alienates the right-wing extremists and evangelicals from their party. Someone who will reach out to all the classes of people, rich & poor. Someone with intelligence, unlike the bimbo’s they tried to push down the throats of their partys members.

She should be greatful to Mccain for giving her hope for 2012 and which will not be possible for her which will be more difficult because she won’t be able to go through the primary.
We all saw most of her interviews, so was it an ananymous that told us about her answer to a third grader question about being a VP. What Palin needs to do is have a home tutor to teach her economics, and foreign policies. This woman is not a true Republican, she how she is saying it is the Bush policies that cause McCain to lost the election. She is not a leader and the people who voted her to be governor are all regreting now and she won’t have a 2nd term as governor. Before she said she is an outsider now she wants to be in Washington at all cost.

OK…what have we learned here? That the governor of Alaska who went up against corruption in her state and has a phenomenal approval rating is “stupid”, despite her proven record. Like her or not, she has actual accomplishments on record.
Meanwhile, Obama is an “expert” in constitutional law, as one commenter noted. The commenter did not define what qualifications or accomplishments an “expert” has.
Another talks about Palin’s stint at multiple colleges but does not talk about Obama’s Columbia experience. At the same time, a Pew research poll finds that 70% of Americans say most journalists wanted to see Democrat Barack Obama win. Most people believe anything they want to if they read or hear it, ie; Obama is a muslim, Palin had the GOP buy her husband silk boxers.

Sarah Palin – you go girl! Since the media decided to bring up this ‘anonymous sources’ report, Governor Palin has every right to defend herself. What is apparent is that multiple times, her words are misinterpreted, while her opponent was given the benefit of the doubt and provided opportunities to clarify, and when they did clarify, they were accepted at their word. If the media will throw stones and not reveal their anonymous sources, at least Governor Palin deserves for her side to be heard and an opportunity to clarify.

Hey all you Palin bashers. Have you heard Joe Biden speak? Wasn’t he the one who said that FDR was President in 1929 when the stock market crashed? It was Herbert Hoover. Wasn’t he the one who said FDR got on tv and told the people how it was when the crash happened? Problem was that tv wasn’t introduced until 1939. Wasn’t he the one who asked a long-time colleague in a wheelchair to please stand up? From what I understand, he graduated around 500 out of 600 in his class. Why don’t you shut up, and quit taking cheap shots at this lady on the internet. She’s not the VP. Joe Biden is! God help us!

McCain is a smarter than average person.. he’s thought well enough ahead to have gotten as far as the rep. ticket. So why on earth did he select Palin as a running mate? Surely he must have done sufficient homework and background research.. It doesn’t add up to his usual judgement and decision making. Unless of course he’s approaching senility. Silly Gramps… Poor soccer-mom. Messy Campaign.

I have taken a quote from Sarah Palin’s interveiw and cleaned it up and made it more coherent in an attempt to show how she could have made her point more clearly and effectively. I have taken the liberty to change some tenses, add/delete words, and move whole sentances around. It really hurt my brain to untangle this but it was kinda fun. Below is her orignal quote followed by my “translation”:
“I don’t know, because I remember the discussion about Africa, my concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue, as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars, I wanted to make sure that that didn’t happen anymore.”
“I don’t know, because I remember the discussion about Africa and my concern had been the atrocities committed in Darfur and their relevance to me. As we spoke about some of the African countries and their people succumbing to dictators and the corruption of some of their collapsed government, their relevance to me as governor was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars. I wanted to make sure that we didn’t invest those types of funds anymore.”

OK, I take her word that she knows Africa is a continent, but she probably thinks Darfur is a country.
And why is she still in the news anyway? The campaigns are over and we have a new President-elect. It’s November 10, and she and John McCain are irrelevant.

Well listen folks, also, though, we cannot laugh at her if she ain’t a speakin’ so let her chirp away. Yes, we must read and reread to try to find her message is, but, again, also, all the while we have something to laugh at and it distracts us from the bills piling up and the economic doom and war. So, let’s give her a break, let her do all the interviews she wants so we can keep laughing. It’s good medicine for America. Palin=SNL 24/7

There are some old sayings that are relevant here:
Turnabout is fair play.
What goes around comes around.
I listened to Palin speak on the radio in Chillicothe, OH and basically writhed in pain over her butchering of both the facts and the English language. In my opinion, most of the comments here are very well deserved, and almost polite in tone compared to what they could be.
Palin unleashed a Pandora’s box of negativity toward the other side, and that is never a good idea if you yourself are vulnerable. She is.

If Palin runs against Obama in 2012, she’ll have to accuse him of palling around with terrorists again, because that’s all she knows. She’ll mention Ayers, his birth certificate, Rezco, Muslims, etc. etc. etc. Then she’ll hear the shouts of ‘kill him’ ‘terrorist’ etc. etc. etc. and she’ll lose by a larger margin than McCain did this time. When are the Republicans going to learn that you must have a ‘message’ to win??

marla – “God” has nothing to do with anything. The fact remains that Palin is an egomaniacal moron, plain and simple. She’s irrelevant, a total bore, and I wish she’d just go away already. She’s undeserving of all this attention the media and you people are giving her.

Lets for a second remove the name from the interview and take it at face value. The person providing these answers is un-intelligent, who is unable to provide answers to questions or even construct a statement that makes any sense. He/She comes across as someone who is grasping for any information that they can remember…which is very limited.
And furthermore, it doesn’t matter if you actually see the interview or read the transcript. It’s like reading a movie script. You know when its good.
This person has limited schooling. Bottom-line we are lucky this person is not in any position to affect this great country in anyway.
And one more thought; shame on the media (both the liberal and FOX) for not reporting on her lack of understanding of the issues in this world. If she had been elected…

It is interesting that Palin just cannot keep her mouth shut. What is also more interesting is that McCain has not come to her defense at all. His concession speech and body language said it all.

Not trying to be mean, but are you even an American (‘speach’ and ‘major’?).
Anyway, no, I respect her immensely. She has worked her way up from the PTA on up. That’s who I want leading this country-not a drifter who received a Marxist education. Communists abound at Columbia University, and, remember, no one knows what classes he took and with whom because no in public has even seen his transcripts yet.
I don’t care about his grades-to me that’s private information even for an elected official.

Why do you assume that all Americans who voted for Obama/Biden were only influenced by the media? Maybe some, but not all. I myself did a lot of research and I looked at what the candidates stand for. I happened to agree more with Obama. Doesn’t mean I drank the kool-aid or I went blindly with the masses. It means I did what I thought was right. I don’t think all people who went for McCain were racist (except for Robert), I’m sure they looked at what he stood for and they shared the same views. In fact, the people I don’t agree with on either side are the ones who followed their party blindly.

The very few Palin fans here complain that this is Palin-bashing…that we’re not debating the merits of her proposals…that the dem’s are resorting to this because they don’t have any of their own. The truth is that on Nov 4th, the country underwent a scheduled Palinoscopy; yet the tumor refuses to go away. We’re not bashing, we are simply underscoring the truth of the past ten weeks, with the hope that this embarrassment doesn’t happen again (either to her OR our country). We’d love an opportunity to debate her on her ‘proposals’, but we are still waiting for her to formulate a non-scripted or complete sentence where she offers one. And we wouldn’t think of bad-mouthing someone just to gain political advantage…I mean really; why would we do this after McCain and Palin proved so well how badly that can backfire? Can you say Ayers? Socialist? Hussein? This one?

This VP hopeful was a disgrace. No sense of what was expected of her and what would be expected of her (as VP) if she won. It amazing that someone even chose her to be a running mate. As a rule, if someone is from a state that is not contiguous with the rest of the US, they should confine themselves to local politics. Politicking at the federal level is a whole different kettle of fish. Also, if you are not from a well known university, you do not stand a chance. Gone are the days of Ronald Reagan, when people with GEDs could run for the highest office.

Sarah speaks below an 8th grade level. I thought the TV interviews were kind of lame, though others said they were really bad. Now, when I can re-read a transcript, it’s like Holy Crap!! no wonder they kept her away from interviews. She either talks without saying anything (now), or trashes and slashes someone (during the campaign). And the Rovian Dregs love every bit of it… Bush is a genius compared to this chick.

According to Foxy News’ Carl Cameron, Sarah Palin bit the head off her handlers for not finding more interviewers that would be more “friendly”. Well, let’s see, she did Gertie VanSustern, and she did Sean Hannity. That only left the real journalists. She tried that with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric, and her own words skewered her. How easy it is for Caribou Barbie to say she wished she had done more interviews. She’s a bimbo. What else could she have said?

John and Sarah have lost and they have shown every ounce of decency without making any lame excuses. Why on earth are people making some caustic and rude remarks on Sarah in particular. Ever since she was nominated to be the VP, she has done her best and in fact polls show that she has more numbers than Joe despite the fact that she is being accused of not experienced enough, etc etc.. Let’s show our decency towards her and stop bickering. Watch out for 1012 Sarah will make an aggressive comeback and probably be the Republican Presidential nominee. Good Luck Sarah

Palin 12′ – is this a mantra or Palin’s I.Q.? With any luck, the GOP WILL select her for another run in 2012, so we can all have many more good laughs watching SNL while Obama wins another term! The very few Palin fans here complain that this is Palin-bashing…that we’re not debating the merits of her proposals…that the dem’s are resorting to this because they don’t have any of their own. The truth is that on Nov 4th, the country underwent a scheduled Palinoscopy; yet the tumor refuses to go away. We’re not bashing, we are simply underscoring the truth of the past ten weeks, with the hope that this embarrassment doesn’t happen again (either to her OR our country). We’d love an opportunity to debate her on her ‘proposals’, but we are still waiting for her to formulate a non-scripted or complete sentence where she offers one. And we wouldn’t think of bad-mouthing someone just to gain political advantage…I mean really; why would we do this after McCain and Palin proved so well how badly that can backfire? Can you say Ayers? Socialist? Hussein? This one?

People need to stop making up stuff about Sarah Palin.. This race showed just how sexist our media can be. People are making up attacks on Palin and picking her apart for everything that she does. It isnt fair… She is obviously a smart woman if she has made it this far and people are getting too sidetracked by how much she spent on clothes and how she messed up in an interview. Im sorry, but wasnt it Joe Biden who said JOBS was a three letter word? Had Palin said that she would have never lived it down. I fully suppourt Palin in 2012, I think she is great and seems so down to earth and she is very intelligent as well. She knows how to raise a family and have an amazing career. She should be an inspiration to all. Im sorry for all you liberals who hate her, but lets wait til 2012 when Palin kicks Obama’s butt out of the white house… We’ll see whos laughing then.

I for one applaud Sarah Palin for her courage to even stand up in front of these idiots and try, albeit vainly, to hold an intelligent discussion! Some people are just to stupid for their own good. All I can say is “YOU (the voters) should have been more careful in who you elected! Frankly I think we’re all on a very unstable ship and to our dismay we now have an armature at the helm!

I am always open to good ideas. Obama is my President. To wish ill upon him, is to wish ill upon my country. However, I refuse to beleive there is any problem in this country, which is better solved by the government, than it’s citizens. And, alot of this vitriol towards Palin is pure hypocracy. People are outraged because an average woman has tried to lift herself up. Liberal are supposed to be open minded and open hearted. All the time, not just when someone agrees with you. I cannot beleive the level of sexism among the left. I have never called Hillary a bimbo or any of the other colorful terms littering this discussion. Is this the “Change” that Obama promised.

From the same interview:
Palin dismissed the controversy over the reported $150,000 bill as “irrelevant,”… It just seems like such an irrelevant issue when you consider what is going on in the world…” “Clothes just seem irrelevant.”
On one hand she describes herself as middle class, on the other hand she dismisses $150,000 worth of clothes as irrelevant. It doesn’t add up.

Dr3vil. No this is not what Obama wants, you are correct. This is not what McCain would want either. He made it clear we need to come together in his gracious speech. I see horrible things on both sides and personally I think it needs to stop. I don’t share Palin’s views, but I won’t stoop to call her horrible names, nor would I call Hilary names. I cannot call anyone names myself, when I teach my kids not to call people names. I truly hope we can stop all of this and really come together. We are all in a load of crap right now and instead of all the fighting, I am more than willing to work together to make things right.

As a woman, I regret that any time anybody legitimately criticizes Sarah Palin is “sexism”. She was running to be the VP of this very powerful nation. Therefore it is critical that people had a chance to examine her, ask her questions, confront her with inconsistent answers, question her intelligence, knowledge and intellectual curiosity, as was done for each of the male candidates. To compare Sarah Palin to Hillary Clinton is the ultimate example of sexism! Hilary Clinton is a highly intelligent, educated, intellectual with years of experience that did not rise to power with cutesy expressions and flirtation (winking at the audience) with the public. Do I really need to contrast this with Palin? oh and by the way, perhaps Ms. Palin is a nice lady that people can relate to, but I ask you, wouldn’t you rather have the best minds running this country, particularly now? is like picking a heart surgeon because they seem nice, no matter the intelligence or qualifications.

Quoting Jim now
“Wow – why are people so stinking hateful??? You can choose not to vote for someone without being so ugly. No wonder our country is in such a mess. I had no desire to see Obama as president, but that doesn’t mean I found it necessary to say ugly things about him. I’ve never seen such hate and spite in our country – that worries me more than the economy or anyone’s position on issues. That is what will destroy us.”
Gee, Jim, whilest I would agree with you, I wonder where it all started? Could it be around the time that Bush and Rove and co. started called everyone who disagreed with them Unpatriotic, Terrorists, etc? And could it possibly, just possibly have been reignited when Palin started whipping people into such a frenzy about Obama’s so-called ties to terrorists that Obama started getting tons of death threats after her rallies? And once again, when she disingeniously started splitting us up into “Real” America vs. whatever else she seems to think those who disagree belong to? I guess it only hurts when you’re the one who is on the wrong end of the stick. How about we never, ever hear another GOP candidate accuse us and ours of being traitors, terrorists, etc., and we show you some respect in kind? Or is respect only a one-way street here?

Here is some advice to those individuals that are disappointed in the outcome of the elections. If you voted for Senator McCain and Governor Palin or if you were a disenfranchised Senator Clinton Supporter. Here are a few things that you can do to maintain in the upcoming four years.
1. 86 The Blogs, all of them, stay off of all of these blogs, specifically the ones that are left leaning and here is why. The Obamabots that have been on these blogs spewing nastiness towards the other candidates have not changed and they will not change, they will continue to come on the blogs and spew their hatred along with defend Obama, they have to defend him, because they have to justify voting for him. Let’s be clear, THEY WILL NOT HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING. You will not get through to them, you will not change their minds, you will just fuel them. Let them argue amongst themselves and rip each other apart. If there is no one responding to them, they have no power.
2. During the Primaries and General Elections, you pretty much knew which network and radio stations were in the tank for Obama, now is your opportunity to let these networks know that you did not appreciate their inability to bring you fair and balanced reporting. Boycott these networks and their advertisers and let them know why you are doing it. Hold them accountable. Remember they will continue to be in the tank and they will continue to skew the news so that they can justify their behavior during the elections, THEY WILL NOT HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING. If they tell the truth they will then have to take responsibility for not fully vetting Obama and they will not do that. Primary example: Chris Matthews on MSNBC already said that it is his responsibility to make sure that Obama’s Presidency is successful, this from someone who is listed on that network as t a Reporter. You have more power than you know.
3. Go out into your communities and dedicate your time and efforts: volunteer and look into your local city council and other city government initiative. Become and activist for those things which are of importance to you and your families. Make a difference. While the Obots are sitting and sucking up Oxygen trying to defend their votes, you can be out here making a difference for your children and their children.
4. There has been much talk about the fairness doctrine, which they more than likely will go after. I am a democrat turned independent and I am not loyal to any particular party, but I think that the left and the right should have the ability have their own stations or shows if they want to . Here is a solution. The Fairness Doctrine does not include Satellite radio, so here is a way to help the economy and help talk radio and put money in your own pockets. If this is passed, go out purchase a satellite radio and invest in the satellite companies, invest in organizations that gives you what you want. Encourage the talk radio host to go satellite and invest in their advertisers and the satellite products, this way you get to keep your talk radio and you also get to invest your money in products that support what you believe in. You have more Power than you know.
5. I know that you may be upset about the person that you felt would be best for the country not winning, but give the new administration a chance, although you may think in your heart that they will not do the right thing, give it an honest chance, because in four years, you get to be heard again. Instead of coming on blogs and arguing with people who will not budge no matter what because they have to defend their choice. Contact your congress Person, and State Senators and let them know what you do and do not like, remember many of the Democrats managed to get into their seats on Obama’s coat tails and because of the frustration of the country with the present administration, but the representatives know that they are more venerable than Obama, because the constituents will not be as loyal to them if they do not do what they promised their states and cities. Stay on them and let your voices be heard, put pressure on your Governors also, because many of them supported the President elect and if he is not governing from the center to accommodate all citizens then you let them know and they will be forced to push back out of concern for their own seats and their own careers. You have more Power than you know.
6. Last but not least, set a goal for four years from now, just think in four years you can earn an undergraduate degree, possibly 2 Masters Degrees, a Certification of some sort, take this next four years to make your life and the lives of your children and your families better. Do not wallow in pity but rise up and take action and become more involved. Stay off of the blogs, read the papers and look at the news shows that will give you fair information and keep abreast. This is your best weapon. Let the gloaters continue to gloat as they lose four years of their lives protecting their vote, you would have gained a great deal during this time no matter how this administration turns out.
and finally for the Sarah Palin Supporters, do not worry about Governor Palin, she has very thick skin, she did not get where she is by being a weak woman, and only the weak women and misogynistic men will lack to understand this, people tend to beat up on those that reflect what they would like to be but could never be, Governor Palin walk the walk and I believe that she will continue to do so. As a woman and an African American at that. I understand what it is to be at the very bottom of the chain. I have two whammies walking in the door, but I shake them off and get to business because I know my strengths and I know that no matter what I do. I will always have to do it 50 times better, but that does not detour me and I suspect that the Governor is the same, she is making a difference in the lives of others on a daily basis, she has to make definitive decisions that will affect the lives of others, whether it be 600,000 people or millions of people she is still affecting lives and doing it with a high approval rating, do not continue to argue with the nay sayers about her let them argue amongst

I have decided to compile a list of all of the hateful things that have been said by Obama supporters on these blogs, since he has been nominated. It would take me a year if I went back any further. Once I have compiled them. I will forward them to the President Elect through his website that he has started for the citizens to reach out to him. Hopefully he will hold a press conference and speak directly to his lemming followers and tell them how they should conduct themselves from this point forward. I’m sure that if the Messiah speaks they will listen. Probably the only way that they will listen. I have compiled about 150 of the nastiest comments form several different blogs. ABC and CNN tend to be the nastiest. I hope that he has the decency to come out and denounce the actions of his followers and put them in line. It will not take long for the American people to realize that his followers are nasty, sexist bile, what they don’t realize is that they may have gotten him four years but their actions will see to it that it’s only four.

Brenda and Kim, y’all are smart. And so is Palin. These people need to take a LONG look at the guy they voted in. Actually, you could take most of these nasty comments and put BO’s name in place of Palin’s and it would actually be true! However, applied to Sarah, it’s a bunch of garbage. These people WISH they were as smart as she is!! It is jealousy and FEAR that is running their mouths. The woman has a better head on her shoulders than BO and all his followers put together! To point the finger at her and say she is dumb and can’t string two sentences together is such an empty accusation, because any FOOL can see that it just is NOT true. But then these people making all the nasty comments are worse than fools. No matter how they all try to twist what she said and make her sound ignorant, they can’t escape the fact that there are videos of their hero saying that he has been to 57 states (funny–since there are only 50–at least in THIS nation!), and sticking his foot in his mouth and referring to his “Muslim faith.” There are videos where he stutters and stammers and CAN’T finish a sentence. So the other people on this board need to lay off of Palin!!! Because SHE’S GOT IT ALL OVER OBAMA!!!! I’d vote for her again any day!! And it won’t matter a bit to me how hard all of these dufuses try to destroy her. It won’t work, because those of us who have a brain know what they are trying to pull. Brenda, I LOVE your post! I’m going to take your advice, because it’s VERY GOOD!!!! God bless you, girl!

Pamela Stone: You are absolutely right. I understand Obama thought there was 57 states in the union. What states is he adding. Is that what they taught him at Harvard. And they talk about Palin being dumb. Obama is not that bright himself that’s why he is getting people from Clinton’s administration because he needs extensive training in politics and foreign policy. I believe he is going to make numerous mistakes that are going to be costly to this country but it won’t effect me I didn’t vote for him. I already feel what’s going to happen. And Biden with his FDR comment. What school did he graduate from.

I’m a conservative Republican, but I have to admit, Palin was a dud. It was a nice boost for a week, but did anyone have any foresight beyond that? He passed on Romney, Pawlenty, etc., for her? No intelligent person could realistically think she’s able to run the country. It wasn’t her fault, she just said yes when he asked, what politician wouldn’t.
Posted by: Present | November 10, 2008, 8:24 pm 8:24 pm
I saw the interview and was just struck by how Palin kept talking about herself, about her achievements in Alaska, denying the clothes issue, about the barriers she broke through, reciting her (brief) resume once and again, and never really honoring John McCain who was the principal of the ticket she was on. I just want to shake her and say “It was about JOHN McCAIN, not about you!”
It’s so obvious that she is planning to run for 2012 because she hasn’t stopped giving interviews since last week. She’s all over the place on FOX FOX FOX, next will be NBC, then CNN, and next week in Florida for the Republican governor’s convention. In fact she began campaigning for herself even before the election ended, which is incredibly selfish and ungrateful to John McCain who gave her this chance in the first place. McCain has been gracious to give the spotlight to Obama after the election but this woman just won’t quit blabbing.
The interviewer asked Palin why she didn’t draw more women to her side. Simple: Because not all women are dumb! We don’t all think like her, much as she’d like to think so. I applaud her commitment to home and community and state, but the presidency is infinitely larger than that meiopic suburban domestic agenda. The presidency requires competency and ability to manage thorny foreign policy, complex global finance, world conflict issues, and she has not demonstrated any abilities to handle any of these areas. Anybody other alternative would be far more capable for 2012 candidacy: Huckabee, Pawlenty, Jindal just to name a few (because they all have substance in their rhetoric).
Another question the interviewer asked was about media bias, and Palin seems to think the media is prejudiced for some strange unknown reason. I think it’s an interactive process: If you have something intelligent to say, people give you more respect and credit. The more nonsense you spew, the less respect, PERIOD. And the fancier clothing you agree to wear, the more attention it will draw.
Summary of the interview: “ME ME ME ME ME!” And always denying responsibility, always blaming McCain’s camp, blaming the media, blaming sexist people, and never for once daring to suggest she did anything remotely wrong.
I posted this on FOX’s blog but they wouldn’t show it, hmph!

Beth: I agree with you about Palin. And the fools that make all these comments about her are jealous of the fact that she accomplished what they will never be able to do in their lifetime. Obama only knows what he is told to say and do. Palin likes to think for herself and not have it written for her. Besides that, Obama has been using words from the speeches of JFK, RFK and MLK because his writer is too dumb to know how to write a speech. This country is going to be in a disaster like never before and I am going to sit back and laugh because I wasn’t one of the dummies that voted for him. And while their talking about Palin, how smart is their own mother. Why isn’t she running for congress.

Trash Palin all you want. The Dems are afraid of her. She is more like America than most of you. The more you trash her, the stronger her legend grows, just like Obama. She will probably be the first woman President of the USA. Palin lost because of an unpopular President and a total smear by the media. Say what you want about the woman but she was drawing huge crowds from both dems and republican. She may not be as smart as you think, but she is very shrewd, and gets what she wants.

Among the meanings of “rule”:
“to control or direct; exercise dominating power, authority, or influence over; govern”
“to decide or declare judicially or authoritatively; decree”
“to exercise dominating power or influence; predominate.”
“to exercise authority, dominion, or sovereignty.”
“to make a formal decision or ruling, as on a point at law.”
All of which, to some degree the president MUST do.

Bush certainly believed he could “rule”.
“President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution. Among the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems, ”whistle-blower” protections for nuclear regulatory officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded research. Legal scholars say the scope and aggression of Bush’s assertions that he can bypass laws represent a concerted effort to expand his power at the expense of Congress, upsetting the balance between the branches of government. The Constitution is clear in assigning to Congress the power to write the laws and to the president a duty ”to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Bush, however, has repeatedly declared that he does not need to ”execute” a law he believes is unconstitutional.

Sarah is misunderstood because she is honest and forthright and down to earth. DC can’t handle it and they are so caught up in their superficial world with lavish lunches and dinners and steady paychecks. They have lost touch with what’s real. We are so used to lies and hypocrisy, that we can’t recognize a real true honest person with integrity. Just as long as someone looks like the part and sounds of flatery words qualifies them – so much for what’s in their hearts for this county. You wait and see if Obama has what it takes to say “I’m not going to repay you with favors for your major contributions to my campain”. They will coming knocking at the door for pay up time – He’ll cave in just like Bush did. Another puppet in the White House. At least Palin has the balls to stand up for what is right and to stand up for what is in the best interest of this nation. She stands up for “We The People” and not “we the judges”. We’ll need her in 2012 believe me. It’s gonna get bad…really bad.

Of Jack’s definitions of “rule” the second one does ["to control or direct; exercise dominating power, authority, or influence over; govern"] not apply to our government. The others do to some degree. It does not mean that one person in any office has full control to rule in America however. You all really need to study the Constitution. It has nothing to do with definition. That isn’t the full picture.

Well, being an educated person I’m thrilled that the American people saw through someone as ridiculously incoherent as Sarah Palin. I guess the whole idea that the GOP was going on is she’s the folksy type that appeals to normal people. Hmmmm……wasn’t that the same rational behind George Bush? I guess we know that didn’t work out so well.
What the GOP hasn’t realized is that the “average American” is now university educated and CAN string together grammatically correct, well-thought out sentences. Talk about being out of touch.

How does ‘to rule’ have anything to do with America? You’re throwing out generalities. Stalin ‘ruled’. Caesar ‘ruled’. Mao Tse Tung ‘ruled’. Queen Elizabeth I ‘ruled’.
An American president does not ‘rule’. ‘To rule’ is nowhere in our Constitution and has no place in American government.
But, if you want President Obama ‘to rule’ this country, then that’s your thing. Good luck defending your semantic argument with those not drinking the Obama love potion.

I am going by the definition of “rule” in the Constitution based on the the differences in the responsibilities of the three branches of government. The definition in the dictionary is not the only way to define words. There are different forms of each definitions defined differently in the Constitution. You Democrats don’t even study the Constitution do you or you would know what I am talking about? I am not the one in need of an education.

What’s next,,,they’ll go in and white out a few parts and we’ll be like, “Hey, I thought that Article said so and so? Oh, my bad. Guess I was wrong.”
BTW, Eisenstadt admitted that he leaked the information about Palin recently, and even with some hemming and hawing admitted that he had lied…in other words, this entire thread is based on a hoax.
Also, Chris Matthews is on record as referring to Africa as a country. No such thing with Governor Palin I’m afraid.

On Palin, I think she is sort of doing damage control of the situation by adding more fuel to the fire that has been lit by Republican’s failure to hit White House. Now she is firefighting rather than be calm and garner support for her future aspirations. She has managed to come out of Alaska into open light where the world has come to hear of her and she can build on that if she’s really got the materials upstairs for the higher office. The war of words going on btw both republican factions after the election is useless, demeaning and childish. This is not the time for cost counting but true reflection for the republicans, else they dig an even bigger pit that will shut them out of the White House for a 100yrs straight.

“…I have compiled about 150 of the nastiest comments form several different blogs. ABC and CNN tend to be the nastiest.”
If you want to read nasty just go to The DailyKos or HuffingtonPost. Some of the rumors that started on Labor Day weekend originated there and grew into what you see today.
They are still active in railroading public opinion, only now it is in regards to possible cabinet positions in the Obama administration. There is an interesting article in the New Yorker magazine entitled “Let the Infighting Begin”. It seems the left doesn’t like the possibility of Obama picking Larry Summers as his Treasury secretary and they are getting their message out by getting their opinions into the MSM news stream. Their opinions include dirt and exaggerations about Summers.
I have to hand it to these bloggers. They were very good at sinking Palin. They repeated their talking points on every single blog so much that the public just started to believe the accusations as fact. It was very well coordinated.
What we have to be concerned about is if this is the way we want public opinion to be formed and do we want the MSM picking up certain groups’ viewpoints then running them as factual news?
And another question which should be asked is why doesn’t the MSM realize what it is doing? Or do they realize it and just don’t care?

No “Grand Old Party” the simple fact is you INFERRED one meaning from someone’s use of the word “rule”. People have correctly pointed out to you that your inference is unjustified as there are many other meanings.
It also has ZERO to do with the constitution, and nobody claimed it did. All this blather about what the constitution does or does not say is you trying to cover up your scat.
Attributing false positions to others is called a “straw man” argument. Most of us learned better than to do that in high school.

Amazing….America says we want someone not connected with the ‘establishment’, not ‘savvy’ on politics. So the GOP finds Sarah Palin and now she’s ‘not polished’ not ‘savvy’, and what happens? She’s lambasted for not being ‘savvy’. We now have President-elect Barack Obama – more polished and somewhat disconnected from Washington. He can certainly string that sentence together, is more polished and savvy. In a way America is going in the right direction with both these leaders. (Yes, she IS the leader of a great state of Alaska.

Reality Check — Sarah Palin is the successful Governor of Alaska, and I am sure she really is not concerned with these basement bloggers taking immature swipes at her on the internet. What a waste of THEIR time, not hers. Why dont all the haters get off their couch and find something more productive to do.

Jim Morrison, you don’t know my party affiliation nor do you know my viewing habits. You do not know who I voted for.
But I will clue you in one attribute that you can hang on me and that is that I believe in fairness. I don’t believe in people’s reputation ruined by lies and I don’t think that winning by running somebody into the ground is ethical. I didn’t like it when it was done to Hillary, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, etc. One should be able to win the race on a platform, not on digging up garbage about somebody else’s past or started rumors based on lies.
Everything I said in my original post is true about those two blogs. You may not like what I have to say but you can’t change the truth.

No you don’t, Ms. Governor. The Press would’ve lambasted you just the same. Save your speeches for the next time this country needs a leader to campaign. The Press in this country was and still is incredibly biased, ruled by advertising dollars.

And Americans can abuse!You never spared the poor woman. But the points against Palin are right anyway.It’s truly hard to comprehend all she’s saying. I’ve advise her to excuse herself from the press and really do some introspection. But you never can tell,the publicity Palin’s got around the world may come to help her in future.

Palin does not know the difference between Darfur and Sudan. Darfur is the poor and conflicted western region of Sudan, a vast stretch of desert, and Alaska would be nuts to invest money there. But Alaska does have investments elsewhere in oil-rich Sudan. Palin has opposed disinvestment in Sudan, despite her claims:

Wow! Your candidate won so why the attacks. If you’re concerned about her language try listening to Sen. Byrd if you can stay awake. Are you all worried that she might just have a cohesive thought process and you are all subjected to attacks on a personal nature not on policy level. It seems that the left and liberal side of the Democratic party can only attack a person on the right by slamming them personally instead of in the arena of ideas. How about some substantive issues. She’s a governor not like Ms. Blanco of La. who did not see re-election due to her fiasco during Katrina. Now Louisiana has a conservative Governor in Bobby Jindal, who from all accounts seems to be doing a great job. Did not Gov. Palin take the oil companies to task in Alaska and now the people get a check periodically due to her renegotiating. Not like what’s going to happen to the rest of us once the handouts begin. Sorry but I don’t believe in redistribution of someones hard earned money, due to hard work ethic to go to someone else who doesn’t share the same work ethic. Just because Gov. Palin wasn’t Mrs. Clinton doesn’t mean she wasn’t qualified. Please someone just name me one concrete piece of legislation Mrs. Clinton passed that helped the upstate region of New York. Oh that’s right she only cares for the downstate area. Give me a break. Get your heads out of the sand and for once in you life take a look at your own party for corruption instead of drinking from the fountain kool-aid. We do as Conservatives unfortunately have been known to eat our own so to speak. So I for one cannot wait until Gov. Palin runs again either in 4 or 8 yrs.

Regarding Sarah Palin: Is she sophisticated, no. Does she have any Washington experience, no. But she has moxie, she is very smart, and the far left will not silence her or her supporters. The far left has only proven that they are venonous in their attacks of this fine woman whose only crime is to challenge the far left’s socialist agenda.
Posted by: Ron Lambe | November 11, 2008, 2:37 am 2:37 am
gale – By opening her mouth in the first place Palin has informed the world of her ignorance. It’s not the Obama voters who are responsible for that, and Palin’s own party which consists largely of McCain voters have made it known in recent weeks that they believe this as well. The defection of prominent (and intelligent) Republicans in the last weeks of the campaign has made it clear she was a terrible choice and their dismay at her lack of knowledge about the world at large and the issues we face as a nation was obvious. Palin may not be wholly responsible for being stupid but McCain should be made responsible for making a purely political choice that would have totally screwed the country had they been elected.

mak, I’m going to try posting my response to you from another blog again, minus the links, and see if the moderator will let it stay this time.
The witchcraft quote was “In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, every form of witchcraft is what you rebuke. In the name of Jesus, father make a way now.” Could be a simple “protection prayer” but the the palms up stance of Palin along with the two men holding her by the shoulders was reminiscent of an exorcism. By the way, Palin credits the pastor for her election as governor. “As I was mayor and Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me . . . He said ‘Lord make a way and let her do this next step.’ And that’s exactly what happened.”
God’s plan or part of God’s plan, Palin was still saying to pray that the task is from God.
Palin didn’t have to make a welcome tape for the secessionists at all, let alone pat them on the back and bless them.
Palin nonsensical molecules – Google that to watch the video of her speaking gibberish on oil exports.
Re Gibson interview: In context or out of context, she was saying that her close proximity to Russia boosts her foreign affairs experience. If I can see a hospital from where I am, that doesn’t make me a brain surgeon.
Re Couric interview: In context or out of context, again she was saying that her close proximity to Russia boosts her foreign affairs experience. During this interview she also spoke in gibberish and couldn’t name a newspaper or magazine she read.
At the debate, Palin made it clear she was going to play by her own rules and use the podium as a soapbox: “I may not answer the questions the way that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I’m going to talk straight to the American people…” And she did wink at least 4 times.
“…the bridge refrain was a fixture of Palin’s stump speech (used at least 11 different times) according to a September MSNBC article. (to find the link, Google the words: 11 times thanks but no thanks)
Obama didn’t incite his crowds against Palin. They never chanted “Traitor!” or “Off with her head!” and if they had, I think he would have admonished them.
You said you didn’t hear the prank call and can’t judge her behavior. Palin prank call – Google that and listen up. It’s about 6 minutes long.
And what about Palin saying the legislative Troopergate report cleared her of “any hint of any kind of unethical activity”?
Posted by: WWW | November 11, 2008, 2:40 am 2:40 am
Ron Lambe – Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’m a centrist and she makes me cringe. The women lacks the head power I expect to see when it comes to such an important job. I needed nobody to tell me this. I began to notice it as soon as she began to open her mouth. I have no far left agenda, and I am pretty sure I’m more sophisticated than she is. I have to wonder if you’re another one that just finds her pretty. It’s the only explination I can come up with. There is no way Sarah as a man would have found such support.
Posted by: Susan-1 | November 11, 2008, 2:49 am 2:49 am
It’s funny how defenders of Palin proclaim advanced degrees and expertise on analyzing human intelligence. Their explanations are as baffling and mesmerizing as her interviews. A bit of advice: stick to the facts. For example, she attended 6 junior colleges while competing in beauty pageants. Strip away all the baloney, and that’s your candidate for president. Another bit of advice: the GOP party lost the 20-something vote. That’s where the future vote lies. You’ve lost this election. Unless you’ve got a sales-pitch that the party of GW Bush is actually “cool” to the youth of the nation, get ready to lose the next one.

OMG. Doesn’t this lady get it? The election is over, us voters get a break for a year or 2 now. The GOP lost in a landslide, partly because of the crazy idea called Sarah Palin. What an inept, radical, misguided, egomaniac this lady is. Enough already! Somebody shut her up (& Newty Gingrich while we’re at it) before the democrats takeover 100% of D.C. Sorry Sarah, you’re no better in politics than you are running your family, which clearly isn’t very well. There are many other women FAR more capable, & FAR more balanced. Over & out!

It’s clear that Sarah accepted this job without the appropriate training or experience. What she should do in the next 4 years is to increase her international resume and continue on as governor. She could do well next time but has to be much better informed across the board on issues in order to take on much more heavily experienced Republican candidates. The question is – will she be able to beat Jindal, Pawlenty and the others who will run? Unless the Democrats totally screw up the next 4 years, it will be an uphill battle for the now struggling GOP party.

You people should look in the mirror before you bash Gov. Palin. She’s a Gov. What are you?
Posted by: Mac | November 11, 2008, 3:36 am 3:36 am
Hey, WWW, I’m glad we can continue the conversation!
As for the religious aspects of Sarah Palin, I don’t find these things threatening or weird but that could be because of my background. The raising and laying of hands during prayer is lifting one’s hands toward God in order to draw Him to us. It’s not an exorcism, it’s prayer. For example, if you asked me to pray with you about something I may lay my hand on your shoulder and lift up one hand to heaven. It’s nothing nefarious (you may personally believe it’s weird but we’ll leave personal beliefs out of it, okay?)
And she does not credit this pastor with winning office. Remember the Lord’s prayer: THY will be done. That is what every Christian should seek … God’s will. Palin is simply saying that prayers helped.
No, she is not saying that the task is from God. She is saying that she is praying (sic hoping) that the task is from God. Again, a ‘God’s will’ thing.
As for the interviews, her comments were in the nature of ‘it’s a small world and it is getting smaller. We have to learn to get along.’ How that can imply that she is boosting her foreign policy experience by using the proximity of Russia is beyond me.
I really don’t care about the winking but if it bugs people, it bugs people. As for her answering the way she wanted to, I say good for her. Obama took liberties in his debates with McCain and I personally didn’t feel that it hurt his cause.
As for inciting the crowds, I’m sorry but I have no sympathy. My personal opinion is that the crowds for Obama were already incited but instead of at rallies, they drew blood on the internet. This happened during the primaries and continued on until election day. Obama and his campaign knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it and, in fact, actively encouraged it. Obama knows the power of the internet and bloggers and will continue to use it to his advantage, if at all possible.
Troopergate – again, I ask, what exactly was the unethical activity?
As for the other items, those will have to wait. I have the kids home today and they tend to tear the house apart if I sit too long on the computer.
WWW, you seem to be a very intelligent person and I have my days when I can be relatively intelligent. But don’t we both have off days? Or give the wrong answer? Or draw a blank? I would hate for anybody to watch me like a hawk and every time I make a bone-headed move or say something stupid, I’d see them scribbling in their notebooks with more proof that I’m a moron. This is exactly what is being done to Sarah Palin. (Joe Biden got away with his gaffes relatively unscathed.) I’m not sure if it makes people feel good about themselves or if it is just blind hatred (admittedly like some Obama detractors) but it’s just not fair or right to treat other people with the sole purpose of sinking them and ruining their reputation. The whole point of my original post was that people are repeating garbage about Palin without doing any research for find out what is or is not true.
Posted by: mak | November 11, 2008, 3:51 am 3:51 am
LOL The only thing Palin as a governor proves is that the alaskans will elect any dirtbag to office. Just look at the corrupt slime Ted Stevens.

In reading many of the posts referencing the uneducated aspects of Sarah Palin, I would like to offer my own input concerning the inapt,dumb and totally stupid people who provided the anti-Palin posts.
Much of what I noted implies that Sarah cannot create complete sentence, while disregarding their savior’s (obama) inability in this same area.
They suggest that she is not much of a mother while disregarding that in their saviors district of chicago, teen pregnancy is rampant and his solution to this problem was to allow the murder of an unknown number of babies and then try to justify his actions by suggesting he believed if a mother wanted her baby murdered it was not for him or the government to stand in the way. That was even after the baby was completely born. I believe these actions would charaterize him as a poor politician and protector of the people.
I noted anti-Palin terms too numerous to include in a standard book let-a-lone in this post. It seems that the leftist socialist/marxists are determine to discredit Palin while directing attention away from the chicago crook who was elected to occupy the White House next year.
You speak of air-head, empty head, stupid and so on, I submit that no one who ever ran for the office of president is less qualified, and fits those terms more than obama does. Yes I know he won the election, but only through lies, voter fraud, and illegal contributions, coupled with a poor choice by republicans in mccain, was this accomplished.
I find it extremely scary when I realize the extent of damage this socialist, supported by the sheep who follow him, can do to this country during his time in the White House.
I have no liking for mccain because he is a socialist also, but Palin is a true conservative and in spite of the idiots and their Palin bashing frenzy, she will survive.
To many negatives concerning obama are available to list, and I believe it would be a waste to present them until the sheep, who follow him, evolve to the ranks of intelligent people.
Based on the posts I noted, I think it will take an extremely long time for this to happen.

“alaskans will elect any dirtbag to office”
Not exactly. Alaskans will elect any dirtbag to office that brings home the pork. And Ted Stevens is the undisputed Pork King.
Sarah Palin was elected on a promise to run the other dirtbags out of business. It made her very popular early in her term. But that has slid drastically since she repeatedly made such a fool of herself in the national spotlight, and people have noticed that there’s not much to her beyond being a pretty prop for photo ops.
The current tour is more an attempt to salvage the shredded remnants of her Evita-like popularity at home than any realistic expectation of a future on the national stage.
There are a number of tough, experienced female leaders in the Republican party who would be solid contenders for the next race. They’re not beauty queens, but any one of them could chew up Caribou Barbie and spit her out.
It is a great tragedy of the conservative movement that they would rather have a woman who is attractive, obedient and pliant to their wishes than one who is less attractive, more headstrong and infinitely more experienced and competent.

She only has a Journalism degree. What do you expect? I guess she never took any civics, American government, geography, English, or social studies in her program.

Governor Palin reveals again that she was easily the most qualified of the four candidates, only it’s a shame that she wasn’t the top of the Republican ticket rather than McCain’s VP. Instead we’re left with empty suit Obama being elected by the ignorant lemmings that supported someone who stated quite plainly that he intends to take away their freedoms. The vote that keeps on taking. The guy cannot be trusted; heck he can’t even take care of his own family why do these Obamacite drones think he can take care of them?

Posted by: Xero | November 11, 2008, 5:03 am 5:03 am
Mak, you can read the Troopergate report yourself at the Alaska Daily News web site. Why’s and wherefores aside, the report clearly stated that Palin was guilty of an ethics violation. She could have said she disagreed with the finding but instead chose to lie about it. “Well, I’m very very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing … any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that,” Palin lied. The source of that quote is a phone interview with Alaskan media. The audio clip is also available at the ADN web site.
Sure she was implying that it was God’s will that she was elected governor, but pastor Muthee had been the mouthpiece to God, and Palin credited him by name.
Praying that the task is from God … Isn’t that pretty much what I said originally when I asked, “Was the video of Palin asking churchgoers to pray that soldiers are being sent out ‘on a task that is from God’ a fake?”
No, Palin really seems to believe that proximity boosts foreign affairs credentials:
COURIC: Explain to me why that [land borders] 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.
Winking into the camera and doing it repeatedly during a formal political debate shows a certain lack of decorum, in my opinion. The same with the prank call. Palin thought she was talking to President of France when she giggled and said “John McCain and I, we love you!”
As far as inciting the crowds, did death threats against Palin increase because of the way Obama conducted his rallies?
And yes, everyone makes mistakes but Sarah Palin couldn’t name a single newspaper or magazine. She seems to have more than her fair share of trouble piecing sentences together in a coherent manner. Example:
“Oil of coal, of course, is a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, ya know, the molecules where, where it’s going to, where it’s not, but and in the, in the sense of the Congress today they know our very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So I believe that what Congress is going to do also is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here; it’s gotta flow into our domestic markets first.”

VP Candidate and current Governor Palin understands what America faces by dealing with the tough issues by cutting taxes and increasing opportunities.
Obama has already stated he intends to bankrupt the coal industry (57% of our electricity) and end most oil drilling; so what does this duffous think we’re going to do in order to get around?

You have to be accountable for your actions (even Ted Stevens) and they are finding it out now. Whether you’re Democrat, Republican or Independent “We the People” need to have zero tolerance for corruption. Stevens is now a convicted felon and may have won the race. Until the American people wake up and stop voting for criminals we will have criminals representing us in Washington. What are you people of Alaska thinking?

The RINO’s and leftists are who want Sarah to be quiet because they know she makes any one of their candidates look like idiots. Obama always compared his ‘campaign’ leadership to Palin’s ‘Mayoral’ leadership; FYI: Palin’s a Governor with a near $21 Billion budget to Obamacite’s $20 million; i.e. peanuts. Obamacite’s followers you don’t even know where he stands on many issues when he’s proven to be indecisive in the Senate by missing over 140 votes.

I suspect that Obama fans will never give Sarah Palin a break and will believe every unsupported “news” report about her. Unfortunately mannnnny journalist today aren’t true journalist. They no longer verify information before they report it. They want to be the First to report the news, other times it’s because they have other unworthy motives.
Not everyone is an eloquent speaker like Obama but how well someone speaks isn’t a reflection of their intelligence. It’s simply a skill that many people can acquire if they work at it. Some people have other more meaningful priorities than becoming an eloquent speaker. Others in a sales, entertainment, management, etc. type of role understand how important and persuasive an eloquent speaker can be. You should be asking, “persuasive” for what purpose? Being impressed with how well someone speaks, especially when it’s generalities and fluff that no once would disagree, should be checked at the door. Look beyond what their style. Did the speaker say anything relevant and factual or just “feel good” fluff?
Unfortunately, whether people want to admit it or not, most people make decisions based on emotions vs. logic. However, important matters/decisions should be based on their facts and track record not emotion.
Likewise, McCain and Palin fans may never give Obama a break. Many believe Obama is an eloquent speaker but an empty suit that needs so many advisors to educate him on so many issues. Plus his radical associates, personal relationships that went beyond a business or political meeting or two, that he’s known for over a decade or 2, for some reason didn’t matter. Why is that when he’s associated with they so much?
Did you notice how many times Obama tried to sound like a conservative during his campaign? It’s because that’s what he needed to do to win the campaign. His very liberal voting record doesn’t support many of the ideas he spouted. More people should pay attention to who his close advisors are before and after his presidential campaign.
The next 4 years with a Democratic, liberal Congress should be very interesting. Is self reliance a quality that continues to be thrown out and being replaced with handouts? If your neighbor got a handout where’s yours? That’s the wrong message to be teaching our children. Where’s the biblical teaching about teaching someone How to fish vs. Giving them the fish?

Amazing! How come Michelle Obama who was
never proud of this country until her husband ran for President gets a free pass? Interestingly enough she was out of
the limelight until the media sweetheart was elected. And of course let’s not forget Obama sharing about his visit to
57 of our states (still not having visited
Alaska or Hawaii on his campaign trail).
When was that ever shared by our “intellectual” talking heads on our “major” media? Hmm. That being said however, Obama is our President-elect and he has my prayers, as well as those
of my family…..because unlike those on
the extreme left, who have done nothing
but spew venom and obscenitites about and towards President George Bush for this past 8 years cheered on by our beloved “unbiased” news media;I realize that Obama’s success or failure is America’s success or failure.

Once again, KUDOS to Sarah Palin for being an honest, ethical, intelligent, straight-shooter in a world of liberal bias, attacks and lies (and I’m talking about the MEDIA!)
I am not surprised that so many men are afraid of her, and don’t have the manners, intelligence or education to face her, but badmouth her and lie about her anonymously; but I am a little taken aback by the number of women who are afraid of her. Apparently, they think she threatens them, because she is doing something they have not done and have told us over and over again, cannot be done. She is balancing a career and a family, and doing very well at both. She showed that she WALKS THE WALK by giving birth to a son she knew would be born with Downs Syndrome.
She is an exlempary role model that all Americans should be proud of!

“Unfortunately mannnnny journalist today aren’t true journalist.”–Joyce
Yeah, I know of at least one so-called journalist who got a four year degree in communications by attended five community/junior colleges over six years. The state of education–particularly on the Right–is disgraceful. It should come as an embarrassment, but they aren’t able to see past their own hypocrisy. The lack of education is a vicious cycle.
Conservatives talk about education but don’t ever seem to get one (except in places like this thread).

All of you liberals are the same. It is amazing how a fine, upstanding, pro-life conservative can scare the wits out of you. She is a good person who knows exactly who she is, and stands up for her beliefs. You people are supposed to be so open minded but obviously that is not true. Also, all of the retoric regarding being for the common man is laughable. Sarah Palin is an average person that has risen in the Political arena and all you have done is try to humiliate her. What a vicious group of people you are. Hopefully, one day God will open your eyes to your ignorance and cruelty. Have you ever noticed that when Republicans are accused of being mean, it is because they are exposing the truth about someone, not calling them stupid, or other silly names. Name calling, and behaving like children is a common trait of liberals. Liberals have no class and this is exhibited every day on the news as well as all of the other media.

President of USA in 2012 or 2016. Only
your smartest experiences which cut taxes and budget of Alaska, increase
revenue through producing of gas pipes

Good Grief. Thank you, media, for the continued coverage for those who had any doubts about this dimwit. Watching Palin is painful, the discomfort in the “family” kitchen between the first dude and the children was creepy. What type of parent asks her children if they would want to go on another campaign….irresponsible, immature. The questions seemed innocent but revealed more disgusting things than anyone would want to know. Ask Sara if she still believes that our president-elect is un-American and doesn’t see America as divided and racist she does.

I’m looking for more great things of Sarah, and the lame media will have to deal with it.

I see where “THE ONE” is now advocating bailing out the auto industry. Yes, give those UNDERPAID union workers the money the young liberal bloggers earn, if they have JOBS (a three letter word, according to Joe Biden) so that they can retire in style in Florida and keep Florida a BLUE State. They love taking your money. Sounds good to me. That should take a few more pesos ( PESOS BECAUSE “THE ONE” IS GOING TO GIVE AMNESTY TO 20 MILLION MEXICAN ALIENS) out of the pockets of you young, liberal, blogging hoods who have no clue what “THE ONE” is all about.
Your new MESSIAH is about to bankrupt your butts now and for the future. We over-the-hill conservatives probably will not have to live to see you begging for the freedom the founding fathers of America gave you.

Ms Palin speaks as if she is uneducated and has an ignorance about information a highly qualified high school graduate should have. People who do not care about right or left ideology are concerned about the competency of the candidate and Ms Palin failed in that way. The polls say it and I have observed it myself.
Those who think Palin is electable will try to obstruct Obama and in most cases will fail because he will usually offer practical solutions to problems. It is cooperation not antagonism that will be rewarded.
It may take the Republican Party another loss in the next election cycle to realize that McCain did not do better because he catered to the base too much. The Club for Growth is an albatross around the neck of the Republican Party. I know I would be willing to compromise with the religious right if they were of a mind to compromise but the Club for Growth has foolish ideas that are a proven failure. Good old Republican fiscal conservatism which John McCain did represent needs to come to the fore.
Sarah Palin was not capable of managing the budget in Wasilla and it will be apparent if she stays for four years that it is true in Alaska as well. Were she able to do what she claims she can do then in fact she would at least be a consideration.

Joe Biden’s State of Delaware is responsible for your 18 to 29% credit card interest since his State is the TAX HAVEN for all those companies where ALL those companies are domiciled as ON SHORE TAX HAVENS.

Of course they knew you liberals were too dumb to research all of this and the Media certainly wouldn’t report it since George Soros had bought them off.
Joe Biden wouldn’t say anything. If he didn’t know who was President when the depression began, he probably doesn’t

Earl Grey you took the words right out of my mouth! Why are so many right wingers so paranoid about everything? Living life with so many fears and suspicions is just not worth it. They use fearful names for those who have apparently opposite opinions about everything they are that it amounts to psychotic ghost-naming. The tradition dates back, way back. If you know the name of the ghost or monster you have power over it. It’s mostly unconscious, (buried) terror. Loosen up a bit! Take some deep breaths. Shake your arms and fingers out. Rotate you head in wide circles. And DON’T get a grip. That’s part of your psychosis.

I can’t believe Palin is still making the rounds with the “I never said Africa is a country” and blaming it on anonymous sources. I SAW the tape. Her actual words were “the country of Africa”. Ok, she mis-spoke, no big deal, we all do sometimes. What is scary is the lengths she goes to pretend she is incapable of mistake. Alaskans should be very afraid until they can get her out of office.

I’m not sure the public could have taken many more interviews with Palin. This is an answer she gave to a question posed during one of the infamous interviews she did do. “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.” What was the question? who cares? this is pure gibberish. And before any of her fans start screaming about the “liberal media” trying to make her look bad, this was a question from Sean Hannity of Fox News. She managed to look bad all by herself.

So Sarah, In which country is Darfur located? You need to know that in order to know where not to invest. She is still talking about Africa as if it were the country in which Darfur is located. Or maybe she thinks Darfur is a country. You do not cut off investment to an entire continent in order to punish a the government of a country for atrocities that it is allowing/committing in that distinct country. So again Sarah, where is Darfur located??

The Republicans, have “become a Southernized party,” said Mr. Schaller, who teaches at the University of Maryland. “They have completely marginalized themselves to a mostly regional party,” he said, pointing out that nearly half of the current Republican House delegation is now Southern.
And Palin fits perfectly into the “new” Republican party! She is ignorant and a complete redneck fool! My only question is when is she going away??
I mean McSenile is gone, haven’t heard a word from that idiot since he lost and destroyed the Republican party doing it. So where is he? Did he die already or is he just getting ready for his long dirt nap??

Palin was the mayor of a town about the size of your local Walmart. She is the governor of a state with a small population of people and a large population of moose and polar bears. She is inarticulate, and incoherent. She exploited her children and even approves of a teen marriage for her daughter. Her judgment is questionable and she is the butt of every joke. McCain sold his soul when he chose her and he paid the price. How anyone can look at her and listen to her and take her seriously is beyond belief. check the definition of airhead in the dictionary; her picture is next to it. If Sarah is the best the Republicans can come up with, democrats won’t have to worry for years.

She’s personable, she’s attractive, and a consummate politician, but she won’t do the hard work to make herself more creditable for national office.
She should read more newspapers, keep up with current world events, perhaps take a class on international affairs as it pertains to energy policy. She just thinks you can get into office by superficial means and then play “catch-up”. We have already had that with Bush, and we all know how that worked out. The Republican Party will have to rebuild, but they must do it with more substantial candidates than this. How about Tim Pawlenty, Eric Cantor, the Governor of Louisiana (forgot his name). Someone with brains and a full-fledged intellect. What this tells me is that Palin misunderstands the reasons why Obama was elected, and totally misunderstands the changes her own party must make in order to win national elections. You cannot just win with your base. You have to win with independents and swing voters. Palin is the darling of evangelical Christians, but she’s too far right for everyone else. If there is any Republican candidate out there running for the Presidency, they won’t choose herto run. That would be suicide.

USpatriot,
The “my Muslim faith” quote came from an interview in which the subject being discussed was Obama being accused of being a Muslim. The full quote was “John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith.” Obama was not saying that he is Muslim; he was saying that McCain hasn’t said he (Obama) was Muslim.
Example:
Let’s assume that you are not a moron, but everyone here, except me, is saying that you are. You could then say “Rudy has not talked about my being a moron.” You would not (necessarily) be saying that you are a moron, only that I haven’t said it.

lefties-why don’t you shut the bloody hell up? what scares you about Sarah Palin? why not look in the mirror and start picking? your behavior over the past 8 years has been utterly shameful. if anyone would use language and behavior towards your messiah the way you have towards the president and now Sarah Palin, you’d learn what is and/or isn’t allowed in socialism, a system fitting your action, very proletarian, neither style nor class.

Please remember that it was John McCain who foisted Sarah Palin on America.
Was ‘that one’ the best he could do, what, with all the incredible Republican women out there?
What about someone like Callista Gingrich, Newt’s wife?
There were so many bright, articulate Republican women to choose!
What about Condeleezza Rice???
Her selection would have brought a welcome racial diversity to his campaign and tempered public discourse with someone who could intelligently put a sentence together to actually express a thought.
Anyway folks, the ancient Mayan calendar notes that the year 2012 will mark the end of time, whatever that means…
If Palin runs (she doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in HELL!) and, God forbid, we have an ascension of knucklehead idiots in this country who would vote in such numbers as to guarantee that she wins (!!!), we won’t need an ancient calender’s predictions to know that the end of the world, or time, or whatever, is at hand…

Welcome to Louisiana Politics!!!
Why don’t you educate yourselves and see how that
state was reduced to “third world status” with this
type of shenanigans. For fifty years I watched politicians smooze and use uneducated people to
line their pockets! Our political discourse has been diminished to name calling and destroying people. There was no true debate in this election…it was “gotcha politics”
The majority of these comments are so crass and emotionally charged. Who would ever want to run for office? How many of you are governors of a state? Did you ever try to talk to someone that truly knows either candidate? I did. How did our country get into the economic predicament we’re in? Have you ever researched to find out how these “goons” we send to Washington line their pockets…and you just reward them by sending them back? If we’re destined to recycle the same folks we’re doomed!!
Not one of you know anything about Palin’s, Mccain’s,Obama’s or Biden’s accomplishments on any deep level….if you would, you’d articulate it.
This is all smoke and mirrors. Debate is relegated to hitting below the belt and keeping everyone stupid….. “Louisiana Politics”!! at it’s best.
Check out what service sector of our economy grew the most in recent years??? Government Jobs!! Wonder why we have problems!!!
Just keep reading and believing every thing you hear in the main stream media, argue about things that really don’t matter, name call people who don’t
quite articulate the way you do and trust people who read off a teleprompter….If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny..
This all rings oddly familiar to me!
While you’re deciding what name you’re going to call me…I’ll let Louisiana’s former Governor Edwin Edwards know, that despite his incarceration, his political legacy lives. It’ll brighten his day!!!
Thanks Carville!!!

I wish the press would quit commenting on this nut. Now she is holding press conferences.

And the fact that she holds her baby up to a camera at every opportunity, speaks volumes to me about her sick ambition and who she really is. I say, let’s let her just fade away like any other bad dream.

carlyonsue – Your comments about the press being out to get Palin is laughable. Here is one really “out to get you question”— Couric said, “some people are concerned about your lack of foreign policy experience. How would you answer them?” Palin—–”Ohhhh, but I do have foreign policy experience. Living close to Russia and Canada…..” You have GOT to be kidding. Couric even tried to paraphrase her answers so she could correct them because they sounded so dumb.

Note to the Global Village Idiots:
You won. You community leader Marxist is the 44th president of the “fifty-seven” states, proving that, if one has enough money, one can indeed purchase the presidency.
Rather than celebrate your dubious “victory,” you prefer to continue your vitriolic, asinine verbal attacks against Palin. Very telling.
With every attack, you government-educated neoliberal socialist dolts reveal more and more of your true nature. Gone forever is any hope of perpetuating a pretense of placing any value on diversity of thought and opinion, and open-mindedness. Truth be known, few are as abysmally closed-minded as those who profess open-mindedness.
The Pied Piper represented the ideal 21st century non-democratic democratic candidate: ultra-left, ultra-charismatic, slick enough to talk his way out of (or into) anything, and extremely little substance. The Messiah of Louis Farrakhan, and the Chosen One of George Soros, Hollywood, MoveOn, global socialists and, of course, the US liberal media.
Republicans, on the other hand, had John McCain. McCain’s campaign genuinely had not a chance until he chose Palin as his running mate. One source of your fear is obvious: the tremendous excitement Palin generated, and her overwhelming popularity, even despite the efforts of the liberal media.
Come to think of it, please continue the hatred and attacks; not only does it forever shatter the illusion of liberals as possessing human intelligence and compassion, it also serves the purpose of strengthening conservative resolve.
Already your Messiah has altered his bumper-sticker political dogma by confessing – after the election, of course – that he “may not get there in one year . . . or one term.” Really, Obama? What a shock.
He had yet to set foot in the Oval Office, when his media desciples were proclaiming him, “The greatest president since JFK!” Tall order, there; particularly since he has no record of accomplishment to substantiate such idolatry.
But, that’s good. In time, even his (or His, as you would no doubt prefer) most glassy-eyed followers will realize they were enormously duped. We await with great anticipation your Messiah’s fall from God to mere, failed mortal.
His election has been compared by his gushing media fans as likened to that of Lincoln.
As I recall, it was precisely the election of Amraham Lincoln which brought on the greatest division – and bloodiest war – this nation has ever known.
Maybe Biden was prophetic with his “Mark My Words” warning?
At any rate, we continue to receive the vitriol of the left with great humor, and jubilant anticipation of 2012.
You’re helping us far more than you realize in achieving our goal.
By all means, keep it up! We’ll be there to restore the Constitution and the Nation in a mere four years.

Palin doesn’t care about anybody else. She only cares about herself. Her lies never end. She tells Charlie Gibson that she didn’t even blink when McCain asked her & she said yes immediately. Then people questioned whether running for VP wasn’t something a person should give a little thought to and discuss with ones family, etc. Next she tells Sean Hannity that she did take time to consider the enormity of the job, and that she sat down with her girls and Todd and discussed it, and they all agreed she should do it. Today she tells Greta VanSusteren that she immediately told McCain yes, but McCain told her to call Todd and discuss it with him before giving him a defineate answer. Then she said her kids didn’t know anything about it until they got to Ohio for the announcement, that Todd told them they were going to surprise their mom for her anniversary. PALIN IS A COMPULSIVE LIAR!

With McCain it was “Country First,” but with Palin it’s “Sarah First.”
John McCain was absolutely gracious in accepting responsibility for the loss (“all the mistakes are mine”), but in Palin’s case, “all the mistakes were made by others.” As the #2 figure on the ticket, she has yet to own up to any of her shortfallings or stumbles that have contributed to this huge loss. In the recent interviews she denies any wrongdoing in those clothing purchases, she denies fumbling Katie Couric’s interviews, she didn’t think the campaign staff regarded her any differently after that huge embarrassment, didn’t think her “off-script” tirades hurt the campaign, and continues to paint herself as the innocent victim in that brutal campaign.
It also pains many of us to hear her invoke God’s name in her ambitions, as if He were only on her side. God is God over all of us, including Barack Obama, and George Bush, and all the people she despises. Sarah, please stop using the Lord’s name in vain.

Matt Lauer asked Sarah Palin if her confidence was shaken after watching clips of the Couric interview. Palin’s eloquent answer:
“No, no, because uh, you know I’m sure that some of my impatience showed through in that uh, in that interview, um, I think it also showed though that certainly as a Washington outsider and as somebody not um, not uh, one to just, uh, I guess kinda play even the, the campaigning media game that is played in, in just repeating perhaps memorized lines in a, in an interview.

Last time I looked, Palin was the only person who looked like me, had the same family issues as me. NO other candidate represented women. Obama decided to play it safe and pick the norm. He really would have had change if he had a woman as his vp. I think Mccain was bold and made a statement. Somehow I don’t think another man as a president regardless of color will even remotely do anything for women or families in this country. What is the first thing he is going to do? Bail out the old white executive men who run the auto industry. Let them live with their bad management mistakes. Why should I pay for the rich auto executives to keep their jobs? What happened to education? health care?

If this blog is any indication, then our country is in more trouble than first thought. I did not vote for Obama, I did vote for McCain. I think Biden is a man whose foot spends a great deal of time in his mouth and I do like Palin.
What bothers me is the hateful attitudes of those that won the election. Where is the graciousness in victory. Honorable people back off when the victory is won, they do not continue to attack the opponent. Palin isn’t a smooth talker but I believe she loves this country and would do everything she could to keep us safe, which if I remember the constitution is what a president is supposed to do.
I do not believe that Obama has America’s best interest at heart. If I wanted to live in country like Europe, I would move there. I love this country, with all it’s faults.
I resent the bitter, vile, mean spirited things that you people spew out of your mouths. Shame on you. What in your lives are you missing that has made you so hateful?
You won, I am not happy about it, but you did. Obama, for better or worse, is going to be president of the best country in the world. So stop the hatefulness and prepare for the future that is coming.

Geez, why has everyone fallen for this career politician/lawyer president-elect? All that was accomplished during this election period was to take a very accomplished senator and veteran, and reduce him to a doddering old man. Where is the honor in this? No, his record as a politician isn’t absolutely perfect, but I challenge you to find one, just one, that is. As far as Palin goes, she may have come off as an attacking pitbull, but that was their campaign strategy. Hindsight being 20/20 that was probably the wrong way to go about it during this election. The “Africa” thing, that has also been proven to be a hoax along with the NAFTA stuff. Shame on the media for not doing their jobs and maybe source checking before running with damaging stories. For the sake of our country, I hope our new president is successful. But, like everyone else in the country I know nothing about him because for the last 6 months or so, nobody asked.

The interesting thing is that her supporters are as funny as she is, like the fool who referred to Obama as an “…armature at the helm.” Wow, I truly split my gut laughing at that point. I hope Sarah gets the opportunity to run in 2012, 2016 and beyond. She is the best thing to happen for Democrats like myself, and her followers don’t even get it. Wishing you many more years Sarah, and please, please please keep speaking to the press. The more then better, much more.

As if all of you below know English and all about Africa…lol
I think Tahman Bradley ia another jealous news reporter. After all Obama thinks we have 57 states. But you don’t bash him. You must believe it too! He knows as much about the world as all of you posting anti-sarah remarks. Takes one to know one.
