Conservatives Embarrassed About Palin (No. 4 in a Series)

Sarah Palin has been given much leeway because the standards for becoming President or Vice President are so much lower this election than previous elections because of George W. Bush’s disastrous presidency.
Californians, vote NO on Prop 8.

If Georgie can be president, then anyone can handle the job.

When asked about the potential for a nationwide depression, Palin responded, “In Alaska, many people are depressed during the cold winters. That’s experience I have that our opponents don’t. I think Prosac works well for many.”

who would have thunk it? LOL Anyone that comes out swinging that hard on day one, was really full of do-do anyway.

Don’t know how Sarah will do in the debates this Thursday. I’ll go think about it and “get back to ya.”

In defense of Sarah Palin – The world is watching and she didn’t know it wasn’t going to be like the small town of Alaska where she come decline debates or just didn’t show. It is impossible to cram that much information about decision making within 3 weeks and if McCain throught about “Country First” he had a choice of so many other intelligent women sitting in the White House with him daily. She is a flop and after the attack speech and the lies who could trust this camp. Gosh, I have lost so much respect for John McCain because of this clown show. Sarah is cute but she is not ready for the big league. Stop craming the information into her small mine – this is just sad to see and I actually do feel sorry for her because apparently she is greedy. First Dude can’t help her made decision in the white house – nor will he be prity to sit in or host meetings. Just sad!

I am no friend of Sarah Palin but she may surprise us at the debate on Thursday.

I must admit… She did come out talking junk and I was one of those people who got excited – Jumping around and said – John McCain is the Man. Now I can’t even speak of John McCain without laughing to keep from crying after she was able to speak on her own. I still think the media is being to soft on her…but if she can’t handle the easy questions what will she do with the hard ones. OMG why! Oh Why didn’t they check her out first.

Because they thought that women, especially Hillary supporters would just come running just because McIdiot put a female on the ticket. Me and 99% of Hillary supporters are not that stupid. John McCain really insulted women with this decision.

When asked about the potential for a nationwide depression, Palin responded, “In Alaska, many people are depressed during the cold winters. That’s experience I have that our opponents don’t. I think Prosac works well for many.” Shameful please oh please say you are kidding on this.

I must admit I never liked Sarah Palin to begin with. I thought her rhetoric at the Republican Convention was embarrassing, and the one liners reminded me more of what I would expect to hear at a Ben Stiller movie. All the pit bull, lipstick comments were silly and stupid. We don’t need a pit bull in the White House. We need an intelligent human being. I just don’t think Sarah Palin makes the grade.

I was anti-Palin when she told Gibson she didn’t think twice about the invitation from McCain. Everyone should know that before jumping off a cliff your palms should sweat. If they don’t you are clueless.

I missed them last night on Katie Couric. McCain continuously come to her defense each and every time she appears alone.I thought he made it clear she was capable to formulate coherent responses after her prepared lines and all the cramming she does. Will the debate be cancelled – because of the new crisis’s that erupted yesterday? Let’s see if they pull the sexist card again for their unprepared Sarah Palin. Yes we are upset – their where other women that would have brought the excitement as well.

I’m an Independent in Mi. John McCain almost had me with his experience argument. That was before the Palin pick. To think, that if his health goes bad, all we have is Palin for Commander in Chief. This scenario keeps me up at nite. The recent interview with Katie Couric including the joint interview last night convinces me more than ever what a mistake the Palin pick was. For petes sake if you have to babysit her on interviews and speak for her, what is she doing on your ticket? McCain himself has changed from the man I admired. My son actually won an essay from Amvets about John McCain. My whole family was excited he was the nominee. But I lost a lot of respect for him once he hired the same campaign strategist that he said unfairly smeared him and his family in 2000. Now I see him using the same gimmicks and diversion tactics that he complained about. Lately he looks less maverick and more erratic. Awkwardly learching from weird economic statements to the implausible disclaimers the next day. Come on how many of you really believe he was talking about how “the fundamentals of the American worker were strong”, not the economy. That statement was ridiculous. It’s like he has one mantra, reform, reform, reform. But how is reform alone going to save our economy, create jobs,and end the war? His idea to continue the Bush tax cuts and include more also makes me wonder about him. How is cutting corporate taxes going to create jobs? They haven’t in the last 8 yrs. How can they when jobs are being sold to the lowest bidder overseas where they do not have to pay minimum wages, provide healthcare, or follow regulations like they do in USA.
Another problem I have with McCain/Palin is their constant statements that we cannot leave Iraq until we win. What constitutes victory? When is enough, enough? I find it bizarre that the Iraqi’s are pushing for a time-table but we are fighting it. His other statements to other countries seem almost beligerent. I see headlines reading free Palin from her advisers to be Palin. I say free McCain from those same advisers to be someone we can all admire again. And please put your country first, come up with a comprehensive economic policy for the middle class, run a respectful campaign that focuses issues not stunts, and replace Palin.

Yeah we get it. Washington insiders have nothing but contempt for real outside-the-beltway Americans and that includes talk heads like George Will.

TMcCain/Palin on CBS:
That was Palin “learning from the Master.”
What did she learn?
When you’re in a pinch, blame someone else.

Hooray!!! Someone is finally getting down to the nitty-gritty. Education could determine how a person votes in this election. George Bush may not be as smart as some, but he is the only president in history that has had to contend with so many tragedies.

The intellectual base of conservatism is jumping ship in orderly fashion.
They have to save the brand before Palin destroys it.

Being a fairly liberal independent, I say let her talk. If you want the gaffs not to hold weight, then let her talk, look at biden, he has one a day, but he is available, out there and talks from his heart. He isn’t just toting the party line robotically.

Yeah brenda he stole the election with over 18 million votes. Good one.

Given the ABC and CBS interviews, the expectations bar for this woman is so low that if she manages a coherent sentence, she’ll be regarded as having “triumphed.”
Regardless of how the debate plays out, we’ll also be treated to accusations that Senator Biden was a “sexist.” They’re probably working on the ad already.

McCain and Palin are both
cocky wackos.

“Think I remember republicans crossing over to vote for him to prevent Hillary from being on the ticket. Hum”
Actually the situation was the reverse and happened after Obama was the likely nominee. Rush called it Operation Chaos.
Not surprising that a right winger would say the exact opposite of what happened.

Dan Quayle has an unfair and unearned reputation. He is a very smart man who made a very public gaffe that he has never been able to live down. I remember him being well informed and someone of strong convictions- a good man. I have seen enough errors in my own spelling and that of others to know that even the best spellers sometimes make mistakes. So, it offends me that he continues to be disparaged. It offends me more that anyone would compare him to Sarah Palin.

Wasn’t that voting called the “primaries”. Left wingers always call it “their way”. Spin, Spin….

Brenda, you are absolutely right. We
are headed down the tube with this guy.
Taking money from the rich like the dems want; who will provide the jobs that folks need?

Had the media spent one quarter of their time on Obama has they have on vetting Sarah Palin, Obama would not be the nominee.
===
They spent more time vetting him when you were away.

Ryan C.,
How did I lie? There you liberals go again….calling someone a liar. Where is the “Truth Squad”?

Ryan C.,
What ever the case may be, the republicans kept Hillary from being the candidate. We at least knew she was sleaze, but had no idea this guy would be worse.

The Corner’s Kathryn Jean Lopez on the joint McCain-Palin interview with Katie Couric
“this video looks like Sarah Palin went back to the principal’s office with her dad. “

Now I hear Palin claiming to have been hearing Joe Biden speeches since “Second Grade”.
OK, let’s see now: Sarah Palin was born in February 1964. I expect she was in Second Grade in 1971, when she was seven years old (like my daughter is now). Biden was not elected to the US Senate until November 1972, so I guess she was listening to his speeches when he was a world-famous member of the New Castle County Council.
Sarah Palin, the pathological liar…

The McCain campaign doesn’t belive it’s own media. She stood up to special interests, and yet now they can’t even let her speak for herself, McCain has to tag along.
That just made me cringe, they made her look like a little girl who had to be defended.
But Why doesn’t Sarah speak up for herself, and insist they quit muzzling her.She is supposed to be a maverick, no? I gather that is somebody who goes against the tide. Good work Sarah!

This Palin is the biggest JOKE of this campaign.
She is the dumbest bimbo. Compared to her, idiot Bush suddenly looks like a big genius!!!
Good for the GOP! Keep finding such lousy weirdos and dump them on Americans!!!

dumb dumb dumb…
what you will see (and are seeing) is that conservatives will take back the Republican party before McCain screws it up any more. it does not help Republicans to elect a democrat and idiocrat.
if McCain wins, do we really want the future party leader to be Palin in 2012? not i. who knows, though, maybe she’ll be a genius at the debate and all of this is to sucker Biden into a false sense of security.

Forget Free Palin; let’s free McCain. The campaign is in free fall; maybe if he showed some semblance of the man he was, he would have a chance. Since July, he has shown himself to be a man incapable of the character and temperament to be president. With this erratic behavior and the selection of Palin, his lack of judgment is the final straw. Enough is enough; these are serious times and require serious leadership. Neither McCain or Palin can offer that. Obama is a good man with good character and values I can relate to. I disagree with him often (health care notably) but at least I know I can trust him. McCain wants me to have faith in his gambling ability. Too risky. Putting my country first and voting Obama. I am hopeful my party will nominate someone optimistic, forward-thinking and strong in 2012.

Ok…so another McCain campaign rep had to clarify Palin’s comment on Russian…McCain had to clarify her position on Pakistan…I think I see where the problem is:
in order to understand what Palin is saying , WE NEED A TRANSLATOR and only the McCain campaign understands her language!
Gosh, she’s not dumb, we are just not understanding what she is saying!
Thank you McCain and Co. for being there for us. If she gets elected, I wonder if she will still need translators? And I can’t wait to read the translation of the debate, maybe they should just have subtitles when Palin speaks to tell us what she is really saying.
Palin: “we will cross over if necessary”
McCain campaign subtitles: “we will not cross over”
Palin: “we should drill in the preserve”
McCain campaign subtitles: “I believe in preserving wildlife”
Please save us, save this country!
Obama-Biden all the way!

Palin’s lack of knowledge and understanding of foreign policy is absolutely terrifying. She didn’t even at least seem to be AWARE of the dynamics of the mess in the Middle-East- the usual stuff that can be found in the newspapers.
She said in her Couric interview that we should not second-guess Israel. WHAT?! Look, Israel has at times carried out questionable air strikes that killed not militants but innocent Palestinian civilians and children. Palin and went on to say how we must protect our only friend (Israel) in the Middle-East, even if it means letting them do what they like.
Well, Gov. Palin, have ever paused to wonder why America has SO FEW friends in the Middle East?
She has the nerve to call Obama “naive” over wanting to sit down with Ahmadinejad. Excuse me, is she ONE to talk? Does she not understand at diplomacy is? The purpose of it- so that hopefully we can solve the problem in Iran without spending money on another stupid war and getting more soldiers killed and further destabilizing the Middle-East. Ahmadinejad mainly feels the Palestinians should have their land back-he doesn’t want to nuke Israel off the map- that will make it uninhabitable for a few hundred years.
