Frustrated by Limited Access, McCain Press Acts Out

I’ll ask it again…
What’s the difference between Bush/Cheney and McCain/Palin?
LIPSTICK!!!

Because
Palin isn’t the only moron on the ticket.
That’s why
they can’t answer questions…
because they don’t know…
throw these bums and their Cheney Bush wall of silence they hide behind…just like the last 8 years…
out!

While the bailout of our economy (with money we don’t have by the way) is the story of the week if not the year, the biggest campaign story of the day is George Will’s article.
In it, Will pretty much endorses Obama. He says Obama’s experience level can be overcome while pretty much implying that McCain’s temperment can’t be overcome.
Temperment is the primary issue with McCain. His Republican colleagues warned us about it eight years ago, and his performance on the campaign trail highlights it now.
Its bigger than McCain’s stretching of the truths, or flip flops, deregulatory past, questionable judgment in picking a running mate, and inclination to gaffing.
Its the single most relevant reason why he should never be president.

yea their reform message sounds a lot like bush cheney selling us on iraq

Stop the Hate

As an Independent voter who will be voting for the first time I believe Obama is risky but in the last one week since the economic problems came to fore I even believe more that McCain is the riskier candidate for president.
He seems to have no clue on economic issues and besides I have no confidence in his economic advisers. I watched Obama surrounded by economic advisers from the Clinton era and that somewhat has made me tilt towards Obama but I still havent made my final decision. I wish we had better choices

I heard McCain saying this morning that Palin could “take it” when a woman in the audience criticized the press for their coverage of Bristol’s pregnancy. If she can “take it” why are they keeping the press away? And now I’m beginning to wonder if McCain can “take it.”

From a Feb 2000 Newsweek article:
Of the 55 republicans in the U.S. Senate, only four support John McCain for president. Most of the rest… back George W. Bush.
Why can’t McCain win the votes of his own colleagues? To explain, a Republican senator tells this story: at a GOP meeting last fall, McCain erupted out of the blue at the respected Budget Committee chairman, Pete Domenici, saying, “Only an a–hole would put together a budget like this.”
Offended, Domenici stood up and gave a dignified, restrained speech about how in all his years in the Senate, through many heated debates, no one had ever called him that. Another senator might have taken the moment to check his temper. But McCain went on: “I wouldn’t call you an a–hole unless you really were an a–hole.”
The Republican senator witnessing the scene had considered supporting McCain for president, but changed his mind. “I decided,” the senator told NEWSWEEK, “I didn’t want this guy anywhere near a trigger.”

The Republican party has totally lost its way. The only thing they excel at is propoganda.

So go follow the Messiah around. I heard he refurbished his jet.

When George Will endorses the Democrat, the choice is clear.

JA: “In other news, Barack Obama won’t take open questions now for 1 year running!”
Wasn’t Obama holding a press conference just 48 hours ago or so? Eh, what’s details to a McCain supporter?

McCain and his economic adviser pushed through the deregulation to get us into this mess. A couple of months ago his adviser said there is no recession, that it’s all in our heads and we’re whiners. Last week McCain said our economy is strong. A couple of days ago he said the deregulation *helped*. Now we’re watching the biggest bailout in history, and he’s pointing the finger at the head of the SEC. What kind of fool trusts this guy?

You can tell Carl Rove is involved. Today for McCain and Palin its avoid the press. If he becomes President he will you executive privilege. The is definitly a team that will just bring more of the same. They think they are above us common people.

This ticket McCain/Palin is the ticket for no where!
I have made my mind. I do not need to reconsider it anymore!

Mack – the “terrorist” Ayers? Lol, you guys are reaching now.
About a half century ago, Ayers blew up a police memorial statue. After it was rebuilt, he blew it up again. That’s the extend of his “terrorism.”
Was it stupid, juvenile and potentially dangerous? Sure. But now the guy is a middle-aged college professor, and seemingly not blowing up statues anymore.
Maybe if Republicans had focused more on the guy responsible for bringing down the twin towers and less on guys who once presented a clear and present danger to our statues, we’d be better off.

Mack: “As CAC chairman, Mr. Obama was lending moral and financial support to Mr. Ayers and his radical circle.”
You mean the educational program? Yeah, that’s pretty radical, lol.

Paul, that educational program you are referring to was radical. Dig a bit deeper, and don’t just listen to the soundbites.

Steve_NJ, great point!

Paul- Was it stupid, juvenile and potentially dangerous? Sure. But now the guy is a middle-aged college professor, and seemingly not blowing up statues anymore. And when he was asked about it his anwser was he only wished he had done more!!!!

Kitty: “Paul, that educational program you are referring to was radical. Dig a bit deeper, and don’t just listen to the soundbites.”
Were they teaching kids how to blow up statues? You know the Republican mantra – once a “terrorist…” lol.
So let’s see, on the one hand we have Obama who was on the faculty at Chicago with Ayers, while on the other hand we have a kneejerk, emotional guy who can’t even make his own colleagues comfortable with the idea of him being in the White House.
Hmmm, tough choice.
But like I said, when George Will endorses the Democrat, maybe it isn’t such a tough choice.

Hold on obamas first campaign fundraise was in ayers house!!!

Graet article in Wall Street Journal about how close Ayers and Obama really were!!
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212856075765367.html

reddog: “Hold on obamas first campaign fundraise was in ayers house!!!”
Shocking! Hold the presses! Hide our statues! Lol.

Hey if I vote for Obama can I buy property at under 200,000 less than fair market value and have somebody buy the property next door cause I dont much like neighbors?

truth seeker: “Paul, Not to be seen as making excuses for McSame, but, Pete Domenici proved by word and action, that he WAS in MANY ways, very much an a–hole …”
Hey, I’m not saying he wasn’t. But don’t we want leaders who can express themselves a little more maturely than this, especially in formal settings like the U.S. Capitol?
Apparently McCain’s colleagues in the Senate do.
By the way, did you know McCain also tried to physically fight a 95-year-old Strom Thurmond in the Capitol as well? He was restrained by others, or else he most likely would have continued to slam Thurmond against a wall.
Yeah, this is the guy we should have as president.

So go follow the Messiah around. I heard he refurbished his jet.

HOW ABOUT YOU READ?
RUSSIA IS MOVILIZING SHIPS INTO VENEZUELA RIGHT NOW WHILE CHAVEZ IS DISSING PALIN’S DEBUTANTE BALL AND INSTED FLYING TO CHINA TO HAVE A “STATE MEETING”
WHO DO ARE WE MISSING HERE MMM…. OH YEAH! AHMADINEJAD, YEAH! THE VERY GUY PALIN SAID WE NEED TO GO TO WAR AGAINST. ON TELEVEISION.
A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF CHAVEZ…
Russian navy ships head to maneuvers in Venezuela
By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV – 1 day ago
MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian navy squadron set off for Venezuela Monday, an official said, in a deployment of Russian military power to the Western Hemisphere unprecedented since the Cold War.
The Kremlin recently has moved to intensify contacts with Venezuela, Cuba and other Latin American nations amid increasingly strained relations with Washington after last month’s war between Russia and Georgia. During the Cold War, Latin America became an ideological battleground between the Soviet Union and the United States.
Russian navy spokesman Igor Dygalo said the nuclear-powered Peter the Great cruiser accompanied by three other ships sailed from the Northern Fleet’s base of Severomorsk on Monday. The ships will cover about 15,000 nautical miles to conduct joint maneuvers with the Venezuelan navy, he told The Associated Press.
The deployment follows a weeklong visit to Venezuela by a pair of Russian strategic bombers and comes as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez — an unbridled critic of U.S. foreign policy who has close ties with Moscow — plans to visit Moscow this week. It will be Chavez’s second trip to Russia in about two months.
The intensifying contacts with Venezuela appear to be a response to the U.S. dispatch of warships to deliver aid to Georgia which angered the Kremlin.
Chavez said in an interview with Russian television broadcast Sunday that Latin America needs a strong friendship with Russia to help reduce U.S. influence and keep peace in the region. In separate comments on his Sunday TV and radio program, he joked that he will be making his international tour to Russia and other countries this week aboard the “super-bombers that Medvedev loaned me,” a reference to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. “Gentlemen of the CIA, to be clear, I’m joking,” Chavez said with a laugh.
Chavez has repeatedly warned that the U.S. Navy poses a threat to Venezuela.
Russia has signed weapons contracts worth more than $4 billion with Venezuela since 2005 to supply fighter jets, helicopters, and 100,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles. Chavez’s government is in talks to buy Russian submarines, air defense systems and armored vehicles and more Sukhoi fighter jets.
Russian and Venezuelan leaders also have talked about boosting cooperation in the energy sphere to create what Chavez has called “a new strategic energy alliance.”
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin, who visited Venezuela last week, announced that five of Russia’s biggest oil companies are looking to form a consortium to increase Latin American operations and to build a $6.5 billion refinery to process Venezuela’s tar-like heavy crude. Such an investment could help Venezuela, the world’s ninth-biggest oil producer, wean itself from the U.S. refineries on which it depends to process much of its crude.
Sechin warned the United States that it should not view Latin America as its own backyard. “It would be wrong to talk about one nation having exclusive rights to this zone,” he said in an interview broadcast Sunday.
Associated Press Writer Ian James in Caracas contributed to this report.

Senator Hothead will explode, sooner or later. Hopefully it will be sooner and America can see the petty little man he has become. Another Bush clone, covered in sleaze and spreading lies and fear. McCain is a puppet of the Bush advisors that surround his campaign now. We don’t need his shaky hand near the little red button that could start World War III.

reddog: “Paul you make it like they were just working in the same building! They were alot more then that.”
Yeah, yeah, and McCain is running in circles with some pretty nutty religious types who seems to hate Catholics and Jews…
And Obama’s former pastor seems to hate everyone…
And both have ties to Wall Street and the mortgage lenders…
And both come from communities with shady characters (Obama with ties to the Chicago machine and McCain with ties to people in Arizona organized crime)…
And I’ll bet both even have gay friends…
The guilt by association stuff just seems soooooo important compared to other issues. But then McCain doesn’t seem to do well when we’re talking about those other issues, so this is it – another five weeks of guilt by association campaigning?

Venezuela’s Chavez arrives in China for visit
2 hours ago
BEIJING (AFP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez arrived in China on Tuesday to hold talks with his counterpart Hu Jintao and sign a deal for combat aircraft in a visit likely to irk the United States.
China was eager to improve relations with Venezuela, Jiang said, while dismissing US concerns that Chavez was seeking to use his growing military and energy ties with Beijing to annoy the United States.
“Some of you have asked about the US relations with Venezuela. We maintain that different countries should treat other countries equally and improve their relations, which will be good for all of Latin America.”
Chavez, who describes China as a strategic ally, will move forward with a six-billion-dollar bilateral investment fund. China will contribute four billion dollars to the fund, and Venezuela two billion dollars.
Caracas will use the fund for “socialist productive projects.”
“Before we had to go to Washington to beg for money. Not now. Now we negotiate with the Chinese,” said Chavez.

Awe, is the Economic disaster created by your friends with their unsavory business transactions taking the spotlight off of you, McCain.
McCain, the candidate who loves to make an issue where there is NOT one.

The legions of Obamatrons on their knees here is all the evidence we need that the press had no intention of being fair to McCain anyway.
Good on him – many outlets in our mainstream media have exposed and continue to expose themselves as little more than PR organs (like the one that tried to smear Palin through a fake “grassroots” astroturfing campaign) of the Obama campaign.
Maybe they should ask why Obama doesn’t take questions in a townhall meeting that isn’t moderated and isn’t full of pre-programmed O!bots who spend their free time trying to find ways to fellate their Dear Leader.
Thought experiment: Switch McCain Camp and Obama Camp in this story, and imagine the reaction from the Obamazombies if it were their holy savior that was going to be “boycotted” by a petty and vindictive group of drama queen journalists.

Well, got to run, but I’ll just repeat one point.
When George Will endorses the Democrat, how hard a choice can it be?

Democrats who paint McCain-Palin as clones of Bush-Cheney had better be careful – history might repeat itself and give McCain-Palin an eight year term!

Four weeks have gone by and still no press conferences. Yet you routinely publish any trash they put out for McCain and against Obama. You are being used.
The press is just a paper tiger, this will amount to nothing. His supporters love it.

Screw the press. Everyone knows they are in the tank for Obama. McCain needs to skip the middle man and take his message to the people. The press can go pound sand.

Just what we need — four more years of secrecy, limited access, all to “protect” us from knowing how stupid they really are. They have something to hide, but what they don’t know is that anyone with a brain can SEE that she’s not qualified and he has terrible judgment.

Amen-duh?

It’s his privilege to choose to talk or not talk. I think he is trying the BHusseinOno approach, wait on others to respond then see if its worth copying. Its probably not going to work for McCain because he is his own man, not a narcissist that has the need for attention and cries “race” when he doesn’t get it. I want a man that has a legacy of 200 years of service to his country, not a man who has 4 years of nothing to his credit but questions and 20 years of hate teachings for himself and his family. The wife of BHusseinOno is 44 years old and has only been proud of America for 6 months. What was she proud of for 43.5 years? When she gets the reparation bill passed don’t start crying, because blacks will never pay federal tax again, just suck it up and pay a hell of a lot more to make it up. BHusseinOno is a crooked lawyer ambulance chaser and nothing more.

Question for McShame: Boxers or briefs
Answer: Depends!

Has anyone looked at the questions ask by ABC of Palin and then looked at the questions ask of Obama? Then there was the view” boy Obama you sure are a cutie” and then of Mccain ‘how do we cure the world, how can a woman with 5 kids handle the job, what are her change plans? Question ask in rapdid fire with little time to answer.
Does anyone blame either from staying away and if it is so bad to so why is McCain and Palin staying close to Obama and Biden?

Independent realist :Question for McShame: Boxers or briefs
Answer: Depends!
That is hysterical got any Black jokes??

What the press should do is just leave McCain in the dust and give him and the little Princess zilch air time until they open up to all the press.

NObama. NObiden. November. NO DEAL. KEEP THE CHANGE.

After she brushes her teeth!!!!!

Reddog, no, only red ones, as in all of the red ink that this country is bleeding after letting morons like you vote republicans into office.
The republicans should bet thrown in jail for continuously trying to destroy this country.

The Press has boycot them they are not indispensable, two morons on a ticket. What a disaster.

David you are absolutely correct. When the O’s were on, the questions were like… what do your children think of daddy running for president? Oh their so cute. You look so well, do you work out? Not…Why do you turn away poor people from your hospital? Can you explain your thesis in a way that it doesn’t sound racist? What were you proud of for the first 43 years of your life in America? BO how can you attend a racist church for 20 years and denounce it in one day and expect people to believe that you do not follow its mantra?

I dont need to be part of the club I need my money for Me not for some lazy A$$ people to be mooching be part of the solution not part of the problem

There would be no such thing as fannie mae or freddie mac if it was not for democrats.

The press has joined forces with the democrats, Obama and the Hollywood crowd in a concerted effort to get Obama elected by any means necessary. I have lost a lot of trust in the press and have grown skeptical about much of the reporting. You would think the McCain campaign is a foreign ticket running against Obama from outside of the United States. That’s just how rotten the press has been treating them. The treatment of Senator McCain and Gov. Palin is apalling and if I were Senator McCain, I wouldn’t speak to the press either until they get their heads out of Obama’s clouds. It is just dispicable how destructive and one-sided the press as been when it comes to any candidate that is not Obama. The media and the Democrats have trashed Gov. Palin for all the world to see and now you have foreigners trashing her as well. Senator McCain put his life on the line for the freedom we take advantage of everyday in this country and he does not deserve to be treated like this because he has chosen to serve his country. We are all Americans here no matter the political party we affiliate with. Hurling these nasty, insults at the McCain/Palin ticket will just solidfy my plan to vote against Obama and vote for McCain/Palin. They are the one’s being mistreated by unsavory, Un-American types. So if my vote will help protect McCain/Palin from the Democratic dirt being thrown at them, then I will vote for them with pride and conviction. I wish you “love, peace and soul.”

From Ace:
“Let’s get this straight. After three weeks of claiming everything about Palin is news, demanding access to her and pointing out she has little to no foreign policy experience, they are refusing to show images of her meeting with two American allies? Are photos of her at these meetings really not newsworthy? Of course they are. The media are simply skewing their coverage because they don’t like her, and they are mad they aren’t getting to talk to her. Talk about not even pretending any more.”

Here’s a question I want to know:
Can Sarah Palin get her mouth all the way down my eight inch member?

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS!!!!!
http://counterpunch.org/dubey09232008.html
You owe it to yourself as an American to know what kind of person you might be electing.

I think the media needs to do their jobs. The Media didn’t do their job with Bush and I believe there is a lot of questions about McCain’s mind and his ability to handle a crisis. McCain fall apart with the melt down of our economy, what would he do if another terrorist attack happen. God for bid that Palin becomes president and her lack of know knowledge on foreign affaires (one hour meeting to learn about foreign affairs isn’t what I call knowledge).

Reddog: What’s beautiful about Obamas plan is that is is very detailed, and readily available to everyone and anyone to read on his website. His ads on TV lay his plan out in summarization, and he asks everyone to go and read the details.
Also, go can go to teamster.org for more info. on te employee free choice act, which JM opposes.
I thnk it is very obvious that you have not read his plan, or paid attention to his ads, which lay the plan out.
Please do so, , so that you may have an itelligent and informed converasation.
What is terribly sad about the decline about the Mcshame campaign, is the way they started , and the extreme level to which they have sunk.
I wnder if the pressure of the campaign trail is affecting his speech and his health, because he seems to stammer and stutter and pause a lot more than when he started this crapshoot 2 yrs. ago.
He looks exhausted and worn and confused.
I personally do not want a world leader of mine to even attempt to go to a summit, forum, or even a friendly roundtable when they don’t have their faculties together.
Scarrrrrrrryyyyyyy………….

The press should boycott this JOKE of a ticket.
We voters are not interested in their photo opps and her crooked Personnel Committee coverup hearings.

The McCain campaign has become the supreme example of hypocrisy.

Rachel Maddow should have a field day with this on. She has been trying to get McCains people on for some time now. How can anyone honestly want to vote for the McCain – Palin ticket, when if they actually did their own research, they would be utterly disgusted with the two of them.

so let me get this straight. palin is
absolutely ready to be president, to
be commander-in-chief, and leader of the free world, but not ready to face
those pesty,little journalists and their unscripted questions?Priceless!

America wake up..No man can fix the mess the world is in. It is in this mess because we told God to butt out – so He did. God honors those who honor Him. Oboma honors himself. My prayer is – God save us, save us now.

Without the press, we might as well live in Iran.

I hold the press 100% responsible for allowing this to go on. There should be a complete press blackout until each of them give a thorough and extensive press conference.
If you cannot uphold the duties of the job you have CHOSEN to undertake as the “voice” of the people then you need to find another line of work.
I think the press has already crossed the line into treason over the last 7 years.
I think I speak for the majority when I tell the mainstream media to take a hike you cause moe problems than you are worth with you bias and fasciation with nudity, violence and fluff.
Who needs you? What purpose do you really serve? You don’t even do investigative reports anymore so basically you are identical to bloggers, all opinion, no facts.

OMG!
The GOP posters on here are truly lost to their ignorance.
This is not a revloution.
This is not JM saying he doesn’t need anyone to think for him.
this is not the LIBERAL MEDIA ATTACKING…. wooooooooo……. scarrry, liberal media.
Geez.
Wake up.
It’s a controlled dog and pony show by the GOP with their only dog of a candidate,
and pony nominee.
Neither one has a complete thought that makes any sense on the critical issues at hand, and not one of you Republic posters has yet to do or say likewise.
whine, whine, Maybe John Mcshames buddies were talking about you all when he said we had become a ntaion of whiners.
Sarah (whine) Pa in.

McCain didn’t take any questions because he didn’t have his “lipstick” and wasn’t camara ready. Give him a break!

Attaboy, Maverick. Just talk around the dolts in the press. They’re only covering you so they can write crappy stuff about you and your campaign.

And finally, if someone tells you McCain is a third term Bush and that BO is “Mr. liberal” please pass on this info:
“Obama often says that McCain voted 90% of the time with Bush. What he doesn’t say is that Obama himself voted 88% of the time with Bush and even voted for the Cheney energy plan. Hillary didn’t and neither did McCain.
What they don’t tell you is that McCain voted 97% of the time with the Democrats and that he has the worst conservative voting record of any Republican. He voted liberal 20% of the time.
(A little tip when you hear Obama lying about McCain’s voting record: most votes in the Senate are unanimous consent.)” http://www.redhotandbluepolitics.com

LOL, the hardcore Obama supporters are on a roll today.
McCain is “secretive” because he hasn’t held a press conference since August? OMG – let’s see how many months Obama went without doing that. And before you say he’s held “countless” press conferences, you’d better check your facts. A press conference is unscripted, unknown questions, not a speech in front of a bank of flags.
You people are hilarious. You are so caught up in the inevitability of your candidate that you can’t see anything objectively. Do you really believe Obama is perfect and the “chosen” one and McCain/Palin are just evil?
Grow up – no one is perfect and it’s time to look beyond your own party prejudice. I’m not saying vote for McCain, because obviously the core Obama supporters who act as you do (i.e., McSame, McShame, calling Palin a “pig,” etc.) aren’t going to change – but those of you who have any kind of open mind, please look at what’s happening.
Is vindictiveness, name calling and just plain meanness and mean-spiritedness really the “change” our country needs?

How are John McCain and Sarah Palin prepared to be President and Vice President of the US but not yet prepared to speak with the press in a traditional question and answer format?

The president of Iran gave a great speech…I must admit, I admire his honest appraisal of the USA, selfishness, greed, superiority complex, lack of compassion for cultures, aggressors, immorality, and failing to administer justice is the American I’ve known my whole life. As bad as i think he is, he looks pretty good compared to bush and mccain. as a black woman in america, i can definitely say, justice has never been given to slave descendents,and other small countries that would not submit to the western culture (especially in africa) i’m glad some other countries have noticed. I ‘m also glad he pointed out that america was behind half of the civil wars destroying africa (TRUE). America has handpicked people to be in charge and destroy their own people, then they pretend to be shocked. They’ve placed sanctions against them, so they can’t trade and make a living…then seem appalled when they starve…while America seems like the big devil.

Good for John, maybe if he cuts them off, they will figure out the definition of fair and balanced!!!!!

After 8 years of Bush, voting for McCain is like changing seats on the Titanic…

People in the media are scavengers. They are all liberals and only want McCain and Palin to talk to them so they can spin their answers. When was the last time Obama spoke to the media? How long did it take him to go onto Foxnews? Did anyone give him a hard time about that? The media was slobbering all over themselves to get one word from Obama.
After the sick things the liberals have said about the Palin’s, (her son is really her grandson, incest between her husband and daughters) they should steer clear of them all.

Palin is Lipstick and Obama is a pig! Only pigs can vote for a pig!

John McCain – who is running for president, has answered the press many times. Over and over again the press take snippets of what he says and spins them in the media circus so everybody thinks mccain said something really bad. that whole fundamentals thing was a joke. he had said in one sentence that the economy was broken, in a mess, but the fundamentals are still strong – meaning we still have a strong workforce and can get over this.
i’ll say it again. why not the outrage when they werent allowed in with Obama when he was meeting world leaders on his crash course on Foreign Policy tour

After reading http://www.recklessmccain.com I would not want to anger John McCain. He is a loose cannon in my opinion.

It’s obviouv why McCain and Palin don’t want to talk to the press. They simply don’t have anything substantive to say.
Secrecy, press blackouts, name calling…sounds just like the Bush Administration doesn’t it. And haven’t we had enough (8 long years!) of that nonesense?

MESSAGE TO AMERICAN WOMEN FROM JOHN MCCAIN AND STAFF:
Look pretty, read your lines and shut up until I give you permission to speak. Just like Sarah.
Women, this is what the GOP thinks of you—-do as you are told by the men and then KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
PALIN IS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK BY HER MEN. THAT IS THE GOP WAY—WOMEN ARE TO BE USED WHEN NECESSARY AND THEN INTIMIDATED INTO SILENCE. JUST LIKE SARAH.

Oh… dear me – I feel so sorry for the Media – NOT!

Louise: “i’ll say it again. why not the outrage when they werent allowed in with Obama when he was meeting world leaders on his crash course on Foreign Policy tour”
The press was allowed in for more than 30 seconds with Obama and they didn’t have to fight to get a pool reporter in. And the press was allowed to grill him (pretty brutally – remember him squirming in the Middle East being asked about the surge?) in a press conference afterwards. Palin has not stood for a single question from a press conference and McCain hasn’t had one since the 13th of August. I have not see her take a single hard question. I have seen Obama, McCain, and Biden all prove themselves able to take challenging questions. But not Palin.
If you are suggesting Obama has been shutting out the press as much as Palin, the documented facts show you are flat out lying.

Censorship. Putin-like election tactics.
John Vladimir McPutin.

i think if you want to talk to Sara, lets first see Obama’s portfolio of school, official business, personal business, past state bills he worked on but didn’t vote on, birth certificate, and yes, his certificate of baptism records. he’s had 18+ months to do that but hasn’t. you libs just want Sara to be questioned 24/7 by multiple reporters from all the liberal press so you can wear hear down and hopefully see her break under pressure, so you can make your messiah on the job training candidate look more qualified. plus, look at the ignorant and arrogant actions of Binden, you libs are blinded by hatred and anger with a huge twist of stupidity.

I call for a complete media blackout for the McCain/Palin ticket. If they don’t need the media, fine with me. I’ve heard enough of their lies.
For those who claim that Palin shouldn’t have to talk to the so-called leftist, biased, leberal, lefty, lib media, all I can Say is that you are seriously among the most intellectually disabled people in the world!! If this woman cannot deal with the lefty, lib, biased, liberal, biased, and did I mention leftist media, then how the hell can she be trusted to help lead this country through the worst financial crisis since the depression, two wars, terrorists threatening our safety, the threat of Iran, new/old threats popping up (Russia), and our troubled health care, education, and energy systems, natural disasters, and our crumbling infrastructure. Are you congenitally stupid or were you beaten with the stupid stick when you chose to join the republican party. You are a true disgrace as your party has run this country in the ground and we are on the brink of disaster and you have the arrogance to huff and puff and spew vitriol and hatred to anyone who doesn’t want to do it YOUR way. Then you want this same party to get a free pass. No, they don’t have to answer questions, and they don’t have to honor subpoenas. Heck, they don’t even have to tell the truth. This is anti-American and I am sure that the republicans of Lincoln’s day are turning in their graves at disgust at what their once proud and honorable party has become.

Lisa, I guess you think Democrats had nothing to do with this crisis either. Yes, we have all these situations facing our nation as a grave possibility of a collapse. But we all as Americans will come together and fix the problems, but one problem we need to fix more than anything is the crying over the media not being able to speak with Gov. Palin. What in the hell is that going to do to fix our problems? It’s the liberal media in a uproar over chat time with Gov. Palin, and do you really think they are going to pamper her with softball questions like they do with Obama. You liberals don’t even want to talk to your own V.P., LOL. Get over the ignorant rants about press coverage, because all you nuts want to do is dig into more stupid comments about her clothes, the way she talks, how you think she’s this or that. You all can rant about her just fine without news clips, use your imaginations and come up with more stupid propaganda. Just stop crying like little babies, because I’m still awaiting the arrival of Obama’s past records he won’t release.

D: McCain and Palin have plenty to say but they are smarter than big mouth Biden and ObamaOsama. Silence is golden or didn’t you ever hear of that? Most of this generation of college student’s are truly dumb as they come. Look what happened to Obama. How dumb can you be by associating with crooks? And he certainly learned how to wheel and deal that’s how he won the nomination not by honesty but by doing it underhanded. And I am sure his heavy use of drugs and booze didn’t help him either. It made him a lame brain.

I always liked Mac, and he certainly seemed the best of the Republican candidates. This is disappointing. If he had a real VP nominee (I would even welcome Phil Gramm!) I think this wouldn’t have happened. As it is, with Britney Palin, if he did ANY heavy lifting, he’d have to do it ALL.

What are they afraid of, I wonder? Kinda sad; neither one of them can be trusted to speak. It’s going to be a long month for these candidates and this issue will only grow in importance. Right now it is just reporters who are annoyed, but when the voters get tired of staged photo ops with little or no substance, it will get ugly for these candidates…

Hey Obama fanatics…the press has yet to ask the Orator any “tough” questions. Chris Matthews peed down his pants over Obama. The NY Times just today came out with an article about McCain that was a total lie.
So kool aid drinkers why should he talk to this bunch of moronrs. Just think, if the Orator wins, you will have Biden the Blowhard, Reid the Spineless, Pelosi the Inept, Incompetent, Incontinent, Idiot, you name it running things…Nice picture isn’t it?
