McCain-Palin Camp Tried to Block Media Access to Palin in NY

Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) — The lobbying firm of the man Republicans say John McCain has chosen to begin planning a presidential transition earned more than a quarter of a million dollars this year representing Freddie Mac, one of the companies McCain blames for the nation’s financial crisis.
Timmons & Co., whose founder and chairman emeritus is William Timmons Sr., was registered to lobby for Freddie Mac from 2000 through this month, when the federal government took over both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Newly available congressional records show Timmons’s firm received $260,000 this year before its lobbying activities were barred under terms of the government rescue of the failed mortgage giant. Timmons, 77, is listed as a lobbyist for Freddie Mac on the company’s midyear financial-disclosure form.
While Republicans say Timmons is making plans for the transition if McCain wins in November, the campaign wouldn’t confirm his role. Timmons didn’t return a phone call seeking comment.

Even Fox protested the attempt to shield Palin? Wow.
But then again, who cares. Her 15 minutes are up, now that she’s just another investigation-ducking Republican. Its an old, boring story.

She cat talk because she is in an ethical legal battle .. I cant beleive the media hasnt mentioned this.

She is a disgrace. Voters must not accept this incompetence & secrecy.

Wow! The McCain campaign threw you guys a bone? Great! What transparency…I would just as soon have done without Palin’s meetings. She’s a very bad joke played on the American people. Great choice McCain.

If they don’t want to be covered leave them alone.
THE PRESS SHOULD BOYCOTT THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN.
Refuse to run their commercials.
Do not cover their campaign events.
The jerks will come back crawling.
Never in America shall we elect a President and Vice who have not been scritinzed by the REAL PRESS (not FAUX NEWS).

Your Sarah Palin is quite psycho chick. She shoots wolf from helicopter but is too weenie to face the press. You Americans dig up the craziest weirdos to run your country, no wonder you fat blobs are in such trouble.

How about this scenario:
McCain and Palin get elected.
McCain falls ill and/or dies, Palin takes over as President.
God tells Palin the Rapture is coming.
Palin gathers her family around her and prays.
Palin pushes the Red Button so she and her family can go to heaven.
We all die. Except for the cockroaches.
There. It’s all over. We don’t have to worry anymore.

If this story was about Obama I’m sure it would be front page news. Will the media continue to allow McCain and crew to slap them around? Do the American people deserve to know about the people we are voting for? Or we becoming socialist not only with our economy but with our elections as well.

How can there be any doubt in anyone’s mind, of any political party, that Palin is a big zero. Trying hard to be kind. Palin and her high school educated husband are each on their own just a big zero. McCain is not much better because he picked her and keeps defending her. Hopefully the majority of Americans will vote for the USA and cast their vote for Obama/Biden because the election is between Obama/Biden and Palin/McCain, no other party ticket. I am amazed that anyone who is not mentally impaired still supports Palin/McCain. For the record, I am not a democrat but I will be voting for Obama/Biden instead of Palin/McCain because Palin is a huge zero. Being nice.

DUH like she is a hollow shell no content. Why else hide her from the news reporters???

Does Palin meet with President Uribe of Colombia today (after George W. Bush yesterday) to insure him that the $4,319,000 (over 4+ billion) 2001 – 2008 that GWB has sent on the “war on drugs” will continue to flow to the corruption of his government and military under a Palin-McCain Administration? Talk about a covert CIA operation like the supported dictator in Guatemala that killed tens of thousands of indigenous Indians – Uribe is a crook. He was condemned by all Latin nations for his killing of innocents in Ecuador. Why is Palin choosing sides? Get this woman off the world stage before she does more damage than GWB could imagine.

Shame on any of you journalists if you cover Palin on ANYTHING from now on. Let’s put the focus on somebody with a brain. . . Obama.

Wow, s.b. Are you the transgendered teen whose identical defense of Britney Spears was quite the sensation on You Tube for a while? If so, it worked better with video and tears.

About time the media is standing up to this sort of non sense that the McCain camp continues to dish out but then they get upset when the table turns. Should have vetted the Beauty Queen.
She is a disgrace to all women….. Just plain dumb!

s.b. -”None of you deserve any time with her. Your treament of her and her family was a national disgrace. None of you have any right to demand anything from her.” Hell yes we do!! She wants to lead this country. We have every right to ask legitimate questions of her. Such as her views on foreign policy, education, the economy etc. She is running for office and if she is planning on being by Vice President, she had better get her head out of her ass and start talking. She is an idiot.

Ba Gawk…. chickens. I’d hide her too, she is a mess and cannot talk without someone’s hand making all the movements of her lips. I wonder if Kissinger is rolling his eyes at this time, thinking about what a ninkompoop she is.

Wow, if she can’t even handle a friendly pool of reporters after 3 WEEKS of training, what on earth makes anybody think she could handle Ahmenijad? Not ready to lead, not fit for duty!.
Independent for Obama.

If that is transparency I will vote for them.

What the hell?? She acting like Britney Spears with the Paparazzi.. who’s the Celebrity wanna be now MCSAME?

I think Fox might be waking up now that their paychecks and taxes are an everyday topic like the rest of ours have been for the past 8 years.

Another example of the many mistakes and naiveties of the blundering staff of McCain campaign in their handling of their celebrity fame, Gov Sarah Palin. Reminds us of the inept same staff that lost McCain the presidential primary in 2000 after his momentous victory in the New Hampshire contest. There should be a better way to handle the Obama leaning media reporters and commentators. One way is to make them pay in Millions for exclusive coverage and reporting. Same way Hollywood and famous Superstars Celebrities have done to control the media and at the same time make them pay.

For Heaven’s sake, Palin is an idiot. Of coarse they don’t want any media coverage. Remember when Florida’s Republican women were going to boycott Oprah because she did not want Palin on her show. Palin did not want to go on Oprah. Palin does not have the education or experience to be V.P. of the U.S..

Hey dem in Chicago,
Who the heck are you to judge! Your guy is a Socialist!!! You nuts jobs either don’t care or what I suspect. That blame STUPID!! Get over your Palin Derangement Syndrome. If the Liberals have there way. Our National Symbol would be changed to a sickle and hammer

what’s wrong with protecting our rock stars from the media?
sounds like Michael Jackson to me

Very simple, don’t vote for them. It’s that easy. Not that you were going to vote for them anyway. Phony indignation.
Mack – I never said I was going to vote for them. My indignation and disgust are quite real (and I have, incidentally, voted Republican on a state level several times). I’m just sick of ignorant people bowing before the alter of Palin when they know nothing about her and say she doesn’t need to be vetted. That is ridicuous. Obama was vetted – remember Wright? I was equally as disgusted by that and would not be voting for him if I had any reasonable alternative.

WOW! Heres a campaign who can literally say and do whatever and not have to deal with the american voters! You cant expect me to go cast my vote for someone who I cant even get a solid response from on important matters that will affect my kids, and myself, wow! And where is the OPEN CAMPAIGN they promised! These two are the biggest jokes I’ve seen in a while! And to all women who think she stands for what you stand for, please think again! McCain in 26 years has yet to pass any legislation for women’s equalities, and he’s using her to implement the basic republican strategy, DIVIDE AND CONQUER!!!

hey if it was obama doing this it will be albout in the press she got no experience is this a joke cant they see macain choose her just to get clinton vote come on america u cant go on the same path of gearge w bush make a change cant u read body lamguage mccain is lying

Me thinks something’s rotten in Denmark. The smell is Palin stinkin’ up the joint.

Wow … the liberals that frequent
CNN are total freaks. You complain about Palin but the “Community organizer” that you Liberals have elelected is the REAL joke.
You complain about Palin hunting but give yourselfs a pass on killing babies
on late term abortions. PATHETIC!!!
So Liberal of you to demonize people for their beliefs. You liberals are full of excrement that comes out of
your hypocritical orifices.
The only reason this election is close
is because of an unpopular war and the
economy. Your “community organizer”
can not even pull ahead even under these
perfect circumstances of disadvantage for Republicans.
You Democrats are a total joke… the
world wants a Democrat for president in the US that they can push
around and be Europe’s errand boy. Thats exactly what Obama is… an errand
boy for America’s enemies including the
Taliban and Muslim terrorists.
Muslim terrorists WANT Obama to win.
LOL …. I pity all of you dumbass Liberals… you are pathetic!!!! LOL!!!!
ProudRepublican has spoken!!!
Go back about your abortions you pathetic liberal maggotts.

This is embarrassing for America. How can we have a VP candidate who has to “cram” to have any foreign relations experience? This should be horrifying to us as Americans.
Thank you, press, for forcing the McCain camp to at least show a morsel of somewhat unscripted Palin time. Keep it up. This is ridiculous.

ANOTHER NAME FOR THE PRESS..
IN THE FRANTIC SEARCH FOR ‘GOTCHA!’
STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!

Why is this being allowed. She is running for VP shouldn’t we be able to hear from her directly. How can we make an informed decision? Why is the media not making more of this? This is ridiculous!

anyone ever heard of the constitional right…FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!?!?!
sarah palin: if you can’t take the heat, stay out the kitchen!

Palin being the back up leader of the free world and a Presidential candidate having THIS BAD of judgment on the job of the Presidency
is literally something out of a sci fi comedy about the end of the world…

“Wow … the liberals that frequent
CNN are total freaks. You complain about Palin but the “Community organizer” that you Liberals have elelected is the REAL joke.”
At the end of the day, liberals are still the most despised group by typical Americans. And there are more of those that far-left wing nuts in this country. Good luck with the #1 and #3 most liberal Senators.

So, this is the McCain/Republican idea of boosting her (Palin’s) “foreign affairs” experience. We have an old saying here in England; “Give a rat a piece of cheese and he’ll believe that he’s a full fledged grocer.”

Now that the Bush election team has taken over the McCain campaign, voters will never see Palin outside of a carefully stage-managed venue. The Bush people will control the images, the access, the talking points and the message. They’re terrified of letting Palin free. Choosing Palin, McCain’s first executive decision, was reckless, impulsive and desperate. Not the qualities we need in a President. Even George Will has decided that McCain can’t be trusted in the White House.
Bush/McCain?? No More Years!!

“anyone ever heard of the constitional right…FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!?!?!”
Yeah! Freedom of the corporate owned press! We need to get our agenda out there to sell more product!

By all means she should be allowed to talk in front of the camera. We could all use a good belly laugh in these tough times.

Is this vist to the UN the equivalent of a matchbook education in foreign policy? Hey! Make it easy. Have Sarah look south from Alaska. She’ll see Canada and know a lot about another country.

the scarier thing is all the p[eople still saying she deserves not to be asked anything
how many idiots do we have in this nation that would still vote for this ticket as they hide the person who will be the back up leader of the free world?
and how dumb do you have to be to not see that they are playing games with the future of our nation…

Should the press or media be invited to cover Palin in the future, They can reply to her and her campaign, “Thanks, But No Thanks!”

According to news reports, the Vice Presidential debate has been reduced to a constrained and restrained debate per the Republicans demands. They say she is not as experienced debater as Biden.
So? If The Republicans truly believe in her they will trust her to open her mouth and state her own views. What are they afraid of? Also, since when do people get to refuse to answer subpoenas since “they are being picked on”? If that’s the case, everyone who receives a subpoena is picked on and held in contempt if they fail to show?
What is going on here?

Last week Fox News was granted an exclusive, one-on-one interview with Sarah Palin. It was an opportunity to ask serious, thought-provoking questions, which would provide the electorate insight into her positions and thought processes. Instead, Sean Hannity threw Palin softball after softball, to which she responded with the well-rehearsed pablum we’ve grown all too accustomed to. Yet now Fox bemoans its lack of access? Please…..

Palin has absolutely no qualifications to be vice president and McCain knows this. To let the media interview her would only expose her limitations. The only reason McCain picked Palin was to get the women voters to vote for himself.

DID MEDIA SAY PALIN WAS FADING?
THIS IS ONLY HER SECOND COMING
THIS LADY DRAWS UNBELIEVABLE CROWDS AND MONEY MACHINE TOO..
MEDIA,, YOU STARTED THE FIGHT AGAINST PALIN AND SHE SAID MEDIA TO PUT IT WHERE ITS DARK..
LONG LIVE PALIN!!

Palin The Unable
Led by McCain the Unstable

Sandy – You have actually heard her speak!! WOW!! I thought all she could do was memorize lines and appropriate responses.

Remarkable. The press was not allowed in?
It looks like one copy of the event is available!

Sarah Palin Meets with Afghan President Karzai (Transcript)

“Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will meet next week with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in New York, on the sidelines of the opening of the U.N. General Assembly, according to Afghan officials in Washington.”–Washington Post

TRANSCRIPT:
Palin: Oh, Mr. President, it is such a pleasure to meet you, you’re the first head of state that I have had the opportunity to meet–which is more than many Vice Presidents–and I’m so glad that my first one is an Afghani.
You know, in Trig’s class there was a little Afghani? He was the child of one of the oil executives, and he was so cute, with his little turban runnin’ around, everyone just loved him, and felt for him…
Karzai: Yes.
Palin: And everyone knew that we just had to defend him and keep him free and that’s why I think that with a Palin/McCain…
Palin Aide: (looking up from clipboard) McCain/Palin.
Palin: …McCain/Palin ticket, we can make sure of that, if we have to attack Russia, even, I mean, to keep people free at home, just like we want to keep our people free. We have so much in common! I know you have the problem with the poppies, and I understand so well, Mr. Karzai, because we have the same problem with the crystal meth in Wasilla? And I said “Look, we’ve got to shake this up!” and then that’s just what I said, I said ‘Look, let’s just see what we have in common with these guys!” And that’s just what you could do with the Taliban, Mr. Karzai. They’ve already so moral, and they want people to live by the straight and narrow, and they’ve got the newspapers sayin’ and the schools doin’ lots of the right things. They just need to get some of the right ideas, and pray to the right Lord. And, if they don’t understand, we still have the weapons left over from Iraq, and then we can’t blink, we can’t blink, can we, Mr. Karzai?
Karzai: (Looks at Palin silently without moving his head. Pauses.). Blink?
Palin: Right. The thing is, we just have to hit the ground runnin’, Mr. Karzai. That’s what I do. A few weeks ago I didn’t even know what a Vice President does</i?! That's why I put a clock on my wall–do you have the same clocks as we do in Afghanistan? With the twelve numbers? (points in air to numbers on air clock)–Anyway, I said "I'm gonna measure just how much time I have left here" and that's what you could do, I think, with the war, Mr. Karzai, is to put up a clock so you know just how much time you have left until you finish it. I tell you, Mr. Karzai, it’s such a motivating influence on my staff, the good ones, anyway, they know what they’re supposed to finish and when, they hear me sayin’ “Look at the clock, people, look at the clock, and know what you have left to finish…”
Karzai: Yes.
Palin: And so I said to my husband, Todd–I call him the “First Dude”–Do you have that word ‘Dude’ here in Afghanistan?–maybe it’s like “Khan” or “Emir” or somethin’?–I said to him, ‘Todd, we have to take a look at what’s happenin’ in Afghanistan–before McCain called or any other thing happened–’ cause I saw that Russia was right across from us, and then right next to that you have all the ‘Stans–(counts cross fingers) Kyrgyzstan, oh, what’s the others?–well, you are aware of them, of course, Mr. Karzai (laughs)…
Karzai: (Nods)
Palin: And if we don’t let other people know of what I’m aware of then the world won’t change, Mr. Karzai. I know we have the same goals even if we don’t have the same God yet…(aide touches Palin on shoulder, whispers). ‘Even’, not ‘yet’, I meant ‘same God even, Mr. Karzai, and my point is, we can’t let others stop our choice, which is freedom for those who deserve it, and that’s why I know a Palin/McCain…
Palin Aide: (reaching over to touch shoulder)
Palin: Stop! (brushing aide’s hand off)…McCain/Palin ticket will do just what you want, Mr. Karzai…
Second Palin Aide Approaches: It’s time for your next appointment, Gov. Palin.
Palin: It was so good meeting you, President Karzai, and all of your other people, it was so good meeting you too! Shalom! (waves, exits).
Karzai: (to his aide, in Pashto): She makes the last one look like the Grand Mufti.

How Can McCain say She Is Ready To Be President and Then Shield Her From The Public? How Can She Say She is More Ready Than Anyone, But No One Can See For Themselves? Same Deceit? Same Lies? Same Coverup? The McCain Campaign has no limitations? Why Is She Not Accountable For Her Criminal Activity in Alaska? Why Are They Moving On Like She Is Not Still Under Investigation and Have Lied and Have Gotton Caught In Her Lies By Documents Obtained By ABC? What Is Going On In This Country?
OBAMA-BIDEN – Because This Is Crazy

Beyond the media come November voters will reject inexperience, incompetency, ignorance and secrecy. McCain is incompetent and ignorant and Palin is ignorant, incompetant and inexperienced. Both are for secrecy.

Fifth Grader Suspended For Wearing Anti-Obama Shirt — An 11-year-old boy in Colorado was suspended from school after he refused to take off a shirt that read, “Obama is a terrorist’s best friend.” His father says that the school is violating his son’s First Amendment rights.Daxx Dalton, a fifth grader at Aurora Frontier K-8 School in Aurora, Colo., wore the homemade shirt on a day when students were asked to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue, according to MyFOXColorado.com.When he was given the choice of turning the shirt inside out or being suspended, Dalton chose suspension.“They’re taking away my right of freedom of speech,” he said. “If I have the right to wear this shirt I’m going to use it. And if the only way to use it is get suspended, then I’m going to get suspended.”

“You know Mr. Karzai…
I can see Russia from my house!”

“McCain-Palin Camp Tried to Block Media Access to Palin in NY”
OMG!!!
LET US PRAY, MY BRETHREN!!
IN NOMINE PATER ET FILIUS…
MAY THE SPIRIT OF THE MASS MEDIA, JUDGES OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, FORGIVE HER…
AMEN!!

Jim _ Horse hocky – The man cannot use a comupter period. You do not have to lift your hands above you shoulders to use a computer. Nice Try. Perhaps if Sarah would speak directly and honestly with reporters, people would find out more bout her and like her. The way things are right now with her doing Brittney Spears impersonations just makesher look stupid and decidedly unpresidential. If she cannot take the heat she should go back to Alaska.

Good! They may finally be trying to drop, media! When I first read about this earlier, the report was just saying the mccain camp wouldn’t allow reporters in the room. I wasn’t surprised that mccain didn’t want any reporters, but I couldn’t believe the media was going to allow it. They’ve already set the format for her debate with Biden so that she won’t be disadvantaged by her “lack of debate experience” Their words, not mine! This is a sham and the sooner the media flushes mccain out on this, the safer this country will be. I keep saying mccain because Palin obviously is out of her depth and is just campaign “fluff” for mccain. She’s being led around by the hand in this “play”

Daley accused McCain of hypocrisy for attacking Obama on lobbyists: “When I was at [telecom company] SBC, I had to hire [McCain campaign manager] Rick Davis to see John McCain,” he said. “He wouldn’t see anyone unless you hired one of his lobbyist friends. Telecom was his and Rick Davis was his telecom lobbyist. That was in ’02, ’03, ’04.”
He said that McCain voted for his confirmation as Commerce Secretary, and pointed to the Arizona senator’s public praise of his work in the Clinton cabinet.

The whole saga does not make sense at all. She is meeting the World Leaders to show people that she is upgrading her Foreign Policy Credentials.
Now the Press are there to show it to people, but the campaign does not give them the chance to do so.
What is the use of her going there??

If Sarah Palin is offended by the press attacking her family, why did she parade them around when she appeared in New York yesterday!!!!!!!! She should have kept them at home so they could be attending school………
Why is that Sarah and her husband, who thinks he’s running for vice president too, not answer to a subpoena. After all he is a private citizen the same as I and if I rejected a subpoena, I’m sure I would be sitting in jail by now. What are they trying to hide?????
Seems to me like she is unfit for the vice president position, when she cannot answer questions presented by the “real” press core and if she does (Charlie Gibson), then he was being sexist against her. Sarah get over it!!!
McCain/Palin will definitely not get my vvote!!!!!!! Go Obama/Biden!!!!!!

The press ought to boycott the No Talk Express.

how do you morons think we got wmd and the Iraq war
Katrina and it’s mass failure
CIA operative political games
abu ghraib
judicial appointments
deregulation being ignored and enron loopholes being used
how do you think we did not learn how abysmal this Bush Cheney Tactics were?
how do you think we lost a trillion dollars on a war we were fooled into?
how do you think nergy policy and speculation ran rampant?
the global warming was denied for the last 8 years?
to all the morons trying to spin this as the press…
8 years of spinning it as the “liberal” press that is out to get the republican administration
and now their heirs…
is enough.

HEY euro.guy,
Don’t worry, Europe will be under Sharia Law soon. Have fun with that. Don’t come crying to us for help like you did that last two world wars. You guys are lame.

PALIN IS A JOKE PLEASE KEEP THE LITTLE GIRL OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE

She winks, McCain winks like current Bush winks. They are all alike. expect the same or even worse from this team. Come on, no press no vote for McCain/Pal-in. They want to ban cameras but not guns.

I don’t blame the McCain campaign considering the hatchet job that the medias have been doing on Gov. Palin and the smear campaign they’ve been running on her!

IT STILL TAKES A CLINTON TO CLEAN A BUSH
REMEMBER GUYS!!
HILLARY, MY GIRL, 2012, AFTER 4 YRS OF MCCIAN/PALIN

TJ CLINTONITE: I liked you until I figured out your statements weren’t mockery, but SERIOUS.

i’m confused..in the same sentence, you liberals can say, Palin is an idiot and should not speak..and then say McCain is an idiot for keeping Palin away from reporters…where i sit, it makes McCain look like a genius for keeping her hidden…you libearls cannot have your cake and eat it too !!

I cannot WAIT for the VP debate.
Joe B will wipe the floor with Palin, and will not need to lift a single finger to do so.

Palin is a joke and not worthy of our time. There is a simple reason to shield her from the press – she is a big air head! I said it before and I’ll say it again, before this campaign is over, McCain will hide this woman from all view of the American people. She is a big reason we cannot elect McCain President.

Get back on your meds, CraigC.
If you want to talk about socialism, well, then, lets discuss this massive nationalization of Wall Street institutions and their debts. You want Hammers and Sickles, let’s talk about the Patriot Act and its draconian provisions. These aren’t the legacy of the democrats. Lastly, let’s talk about education, and proper sentence structure, and the differences between ‘there’, ‘their’ and ‘they’re’.

I don’t blame the McCain campaign considering the hatchet job that the medias have been doing on Gov. Palin and the smear campaign they’ve been running on her!
——————————————
Let me get this right… the media looks into a person running for VP of this country… this person running for VP, from day one has told lie after lie and you call that a smear campaign from the media. I personally call it… “You made your bed now lay in it”……

Obama qwould be a terrible president,,,but, 10 times worse than Jimmy Carter?…i doubt that would be possible…you would have to be deaf, dumb, blind and in a coma for 4 years to be worse than Jimmy Carter.

I’m not voting for McCain or Palin, but I find it VERY disturbing that the article isn’t about the media threatening to block all reporting of the meetings if their access demands were not met! Perhaps instead a part of ABC-Disney, the news wing should be thought of ABC-Pravda.

Tim King…I totally agree with you. If she is not willing to talk, unscripted, the media should not even bother to cover her or McCain. We. the people, deserve to get to know the “real” Sarah, not the puppet the McCain Campaign has created! If I have to hear about the bridge to nowhere, the jet or the pitbull hockey mom one more time……..

Where was all this phony rhetoric when Lord Obama pulled the same crap on his trip to Iraq?

Sarah Palin expert on foreign affairs…she can see Russia from across the water!
Sarah Palin expert on energy…
States 20% of US’s oil comes fro Alaska…it’s 3.5%
Sarah Palin expert on the environment…believes global warming not man-made
Sarah Palin expert on science…
Creationist who believes Flintstones was a documentary, not a cartoon.
Vote Republican…Beats Critical Thinking!

Jeez, get to stories THAT MATTER. Like good ole JOE BIDEN saying they will NOT work for clean coal burning America going against what OBAMA said..
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Biden_No_coal_plants_here_in_America.html?showall

Of course Sarah shouldn’t be available at large to the media. They haven’t shown that they can fair to her, have they? Maybe Charile Gibson can loan out his glasses so all the reporters can look down their snooty noses at her. The mcCain campaign will have to talk over the media and around them as they are actively campaigning for Obama.

Wow – what a bunch of ignorant people – you believe McCain got us into the financial mess. I suggest you look up Franklin Raines and his current occupation. Can you blame Palin for not being open to the press before the debates and what the leftist media has done to her lately? You should take the advice and get Biden to shut up – his latest gaffe is against Obama again – I guess he thinks he is still running against your incompetent candidate!
McCain/Palin 08!

Ofcourse they did not want the press to cover something were she did not have a teleprompter or any other such prepared talking points you know the old say about being better to be thought a fool .

The media is not doing a hatchet job. I mean you knew if she lied, the truth would come out. The point is, He did not do his homework on this woman, just chose someone and the media is doing its job to expose any person, not just her who could possibly run this country. Im sorry but, I don’t consider answering a question about foreign policy with “we can stump” anytime a real answer.

Why should Palin subject herself to the horde of cannibals; the leftist media? I see no reason for it. They want nothing but to destroy her, discredit her and hack her to pieces.

I feel like Palin is being shoved down my throat.

Quiteone: Let me splain this so even YOU can understand it… We say Palin IS an idiot, we don’t want her to speak necessarily, but if she must, then OK. Let her show her ignorance and blunderness. It’s pretty simple, really.

they are shielding her cause they know she will say something dumb and she doesn’t have all the answers to the questions already. you can listen to her and tell her answers are oh so rehearsed!

“ABC News’ Kate Snow reports: The McCain campaign tried to limit access to Republican vice president Sarah Palin today as she met with world leaders in New York.”
Should be: Republican Vice President NOMINEE!!

Good catch! Those “biased media folks”!
yeh right!

I was shocked that even FOX was finally ticked that Palin thinks it’s okay to continue to snub the press except when they want a photo-opt or they exclusively invite them like Hannity or Greta. I agree with the posts here. Besides, I have watched the interviews she HAS given and I can see why they DON’T want her speaking. She only has a limited vocabulary and doesn’t seem to have memorized all of her lessons to well on improptu questions. I think her true colors are beginning to show and they sure aren’t red and blue they are more yellow than anything.

s.b.
You talk as if this lady has earned some type of special treatment. How was the treatment of her family a disgrace? She paraded her family around that stage. She put her pregnant daughter out in front of America. She forced the baby daddy to come to that convention. She did all of this to herself. She jumped into the fire wanting to be VPOTUS. Sure it’s high profile, sure it’s prestigious, but it also comes with a price. You have no privacy & your past, if questionable, will come back to haunt you. If she wants my vote, I DEMAND that she let herself be known. It’s obvious that the GOP are very fearful of turning her over to the wolves, I mean the media. Apparently you’re willing to vote for someone you know nothing about. What does that say about you, s.b.? I’m like Kitty Wilberforce, I don’t want anything from her. But if she’s going to be a politician, then show yourself. Don’t be scared & hide. If she can’t handle the media, then she can’t handle being Vice President of the United States.

TJ, THE CLINTONITE – Can you spell “Bailout”! Today’s Republicans…taking from Main Street to help Wall Street. Thanks for the corporate socialism.

APPOINTED BY GOD?
PLEASE!
THE LIES YOU TELL!
OBAMA/BIDEN08!

C’mon Dems, stop making a joke about liptick on a pig. Obama, the muslim, is getting upset at the reference to pork.
Let’s see if you really have a sense of humor.

Allie:
Its called playing the game. She knew by accepting this position that her life was an open book. She made a choice to put the lime light before her family. She made the choices that would come under investigation. It is apparent that she is being used to try and get the women’s vote, but she does not have mine. She knew that her record as mayor and govenor was going to come under fire, just like Obama, just like clinton. I mean how many men have dropped out because of adultress afairs. So keep it real. She made this choice. We have to make a choice. She is not going to lead our country as she has done Alaska.

Posted by: jenny …question…you appear to be a very confident woman…how would you like to be “forced” to do anything?…please tell me.

Why should Palin subject herself to the horde of cannibals; the leftist media? I see no reason for it. They want nothing but to destroy her, discredit her and hack her to pieces.

No, Americans want to observe what is being said
in other countries regarding Palin, which would be
that: “They want nothing but to destroy her,
discredit her and hack her to pieces”.

Amanda Moserski “Why should Palin subject herself to the horde of cannibals; the leftist media? I see no reason for it. ”
If she wants the job to be my vice president, serving under the oldest first term president and a repeated cancer survivor, she has to earn my respect for her competence. Being unable to handle “the leftist media” makes me think she would be helpless when faced with Putin, or even that blowhard Chavez. Being too scared to handle a reporter is a flat out deal breaker for me.

why does the media think they have the right to demand anything?…this is a democracy.

McCain’s campaign is turning into a real 1890′s kind of campaign….protecting and shielding the little woman. You shouldn’t have to shield and protect someone who wants to be Vice President of the United States from the press. If they didn’t think she could handle the job, why did they pick her?

Quiet – You are darn right wwe are scared of this woman. If you had half a brain you would be too. I doubt the press is asking any questions that they have not asked of any one else. She must speak at some point.

Gee, the press is upset because they may say something? Does the press think that she may expose her qualifications to be a heart beat away from the Presidency? The press should be tolerant. After all, she does not have the intelligence, education, or experience of Hillary Clinton.

Four more years of thieviery? I don’t think so! Hopefully with the democrats in power we will get the congressional investigations that will reveal the billions stolen by this republican administration. Oh Lord! I hear jail doors slammin and greedy pink bellied republicans cryin.

McCain/Palin: THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE
McCain/Palin: DUMB AND DUMBER

Govenor Sarah Palin is a great politican. She will make the best decisions for america. I grew up with her family when i was younger and used to live in Wasilla Alaska. I went to her “hockey-mom” games which her son played in.

How many V.P’s do you know that actually did something.

The yelping Palin pooches are quick to defend this tactic.
It plays perfectly into the anti-Media narrative that they fall for time and time again.
The Rove gang that runs McCain’s campaign understands this. The blatant lies in their ads, the elitism charges, the attacks on the Media, and even Palin herself are just an effort to rally their base.
This is a base that won’t let facts, issues, or even the fall of our economy stand in the way of their hatred of anything or anyone that doesn’t ascribe to their ideology.
The one thing that McCain’s Rove disciples can count on is that this base will march blindly in large numbers to vote for anything with an R next to its name.
Anyone who supports Obama needs to be involved with registration and GOTV efforts in their area. Obama voters need to be on the lookout for caging tactics and any other challenges to to the right to vote. Report these activities to your local election board or poll worker.

Hi Bing. I’m so glad you wrote this. You see, I live in Aurora, Colorado, and my son goes to the same school as Daxx Dalton! I’m going to the mall this afternoon and I’m going to buy a specially made tee shirt for my son to wear tomorrow. It’s going to say “Daxx Dalton’s Dad is a F<cking A**hole." Do you think my son will be thrown out of school?

Christmas came early this year! Thanks Santa for my caribou barbie. I can dress her, and comb her hair, and teach her how to walk and talk just like grampy Mcsain!

John McCain should just let Gov Sarah Palin do the talking and attacking for him. Sarah Palin is far better speaker than him. A former sports announcer with degree in journalism, she had proven herself to the world as a great speaker in her electrifying momentous acceptance speech.
She importantly has economic class studies in her business administration college schoolings. She has working economic experience in the application of her Alaska state economy in oil and future gas pipeline constructions and deliveries.
Witnessing the media and her opponents attacking Sarah Palin for her luck of foreign policy experience to deal with foreign leaders, we can say without reservation that she could deal and handle and could even outshoot the powerful leaders of the world. No doubt the bias media and Obama would demean will her shooting skills.
She surely will be the our country’s best representative to negotiate accords, solutions and agreements with the powerful recalcitrant leaders of the foreign oil producing countries whose economies parallel that of the State of Alaska in the oil extractions and productions, its oil management, distributions and transportations and its creation of related jobs and services.
She also has the study schoolings and actual experience in dealing with the Wall Street financial wizards. She oversees the expenditures of the operating $11 budget of Alaska. With the experience she acquires in her appointment, reappointment and removal of 3 of the 7 members of the Board of Trustees for the $18 Billions Alaska Retirement Funds. Gov Sarah Palin has also full accountabilities and power over the Board of Trustees of $38 Billions Alaska Permanent Funds.
While small in comparison to the big budgets and Pension Funds of Federal and other states, we could likewise say that she have far more knowledge and understandings that all of the other nominees. Obama and Biden (with even McCain included) have all zero experiences in Wall Street financials and investments banking ways and practices.
Gov Sarah Palin is probably the only politician to understand and will have the guts and determination to propose that the manageable BREAKUPS of the big Wall Street financial is the only sole viable solution that will eliminate any future country’s financial crisis and bailouts.
After the BREAKUP speech proposition, Gov Sara Palin will then snidely shouts that there will be no more of the “Too Big to Fail Excuses” by the Treasury; by the Federal Reserve; by the President, by the Senators and Congressmen; by Obama and Biden; and by McCain included.
This will shut down the bias media and Obama in the lead continually attack Sarah Palin on her lack of experience as if she is the contending Presidential candidate and as if Obama and Biden individually and/or in combinations have better supporting experiences than her.

When America is barely breathing under the weight of Wall Street bankruptcies and Main Street foreclosures, the Palin drama goes on.

Is it just me, or is the McCain campaign already acting a bit embarassed with their VP pick?
——–
Oh, they proved that when they asked for an easier VP debate format. They know she’s out of her league and they’re trying to stage manage her to an absurd degree.
This thing today with not wanting reporters at the UN, but only pictures, is only more proof that even the McCain campaign thinks she’s a moron that’s incapable of acting independently of whatever script they feed her. That’s not a good sign for a potential VP.

She is not ready, not qualified…PERIOD. McCain, in order to win at any costs, had to overtake his gut feeling and scrafice his values to keep Rev. Dotson and the far right, GOP culture police happy.
So much for being a maverick.

The debates are just going to be Biden being asked a question and then Palin being asked a question. They are not even going to be asked the same question. She is being let off the hook on so many levels and we the American people will have to pay in ways we can’t even imagine now if she is allowed to enter the White House.
Sometimes I think McCain was trying to lose by choosing Palin and Cindy tried to talk him out of picking her and he broke Cindy’s arm in an altercation. Or, he is trying to prove that he can take the lowest of the low and still win just because they are both Caucasian!

Who gives a crapwho is running alaska, It’s hard to find a state that is run worse. their education is horrendous, it is the rape capital of the nation, it is the ONLY state in teh nation that does NOT have ANY licencing requirements on mortgage brokers, none, no educational requirements, NOTHING, and they have hardly any people at all. It’s a joke of a state which happens to be sitting on some oil.

The media has the power in this deal. Turn off the press to the McCain campaign and the this whole issue will go away. The campaigns actions speaks volumes and the public is not stupid.

Can someone tell me why an American would vote for a Presidential candidate that doesn’t even bother to put his hand over his heart when the flag is raised or the Star Spangled Banner is sung??????????
Get off Palin’s back Obama does whatever he wants and the Media sings his praises. McCain or Palin is scrutinized and made fun of with whatever they do or do not do!!!
And don’t tell me the media isn’t biased you can see it everytime they are interviewed. I’m surprised they don’t give Obama a big wet KISS with each interview they give him, like the one he laid on Ms Biden in front of the entire country at the DNC. The media can go off over Palin and her family yet sweep under the rug Obama’s Muslim background and lack of patriotism. And the media is unbiased. PLEASE!!!!

McCain did not realized that Gov. Sarah Palin was bless by Pastor Thomas Muthee a witch hunter from Africa.Palin church Wasilla Assembly of God praise this witch hunter.They said, this pastor has established hundreds of churches in Kenya. This Muthee is a bully and a thug.Pastor Muthee is also a mentor to Sarah Palin.When Palin was beginning her campaign for Gov. of Alaska, she had Muthee pray over her,asking God to make her Gov. On her June 8, 2008 speech at the Palin church, Palin suggested that she believes that Pastor Muthee’s prayer is responsible for getting her into the Gov. seat.Now that Palin is running for vice president, the Wasilla church is trying to cover up for her.Palin said, this man he’s so bold. He’s praying,Lord make a way, Lord,make me Gov. She said, this man was awesome.What a FOOL!

I wonder how an “air headed blow up doll” got elected govenor and then goes on to have an over80% aproval ratings???

LJG:
“People have the right to know who they are voting for, and I hope the media stays on this. Black out the McCain camp until they both talk to the press. If they’re not going to talk or answer questions that Americans have, then don’t cover them at all.”
LJG, I couldn’t have said it better…but I will take it one step further – If they will not meet with the press for ‘UN-scripted’ questions, they should get NO media coverage!

Zee B Dee,
Your weak defense of Palin hardly does her any favors.

LJG- I’m with you. The least she can do is follow her party’s lead and stick her foot in her mouth with pride.

Just me – yeah but she still will not answer questions from he press. The two interviews were very controlled. One thing a Vice President or President must do is think on their feet. Sometimes you do not have the luxury of prep time before a crisis. I would just like to see how she handles herself in an unscripted situation. I too can scan the internet and find all kinds of dirt on the girl. I want to know her stances on the issues.

Ah Matt He has been a senator since 2005

Palin has given interviews with two major news networks so far …
—-
Er, no. Just one. The softball session from Hannity doesn’t count.
—-
and there has also been a book written about her.
—-
You mean that fluff biography about her? That’s hardly enough to go on.
Bottom line– Sarah Palin simply has not ben vetted for the job of VP, nor has she proven that she has the ability to handle the job. She also has not answered any questions of any substance, nor has she given any indication she even understands the issues that this country is facing at all.
If she can’t face the press in an open, unscripted exchange, she’s out of her league running for Vice President. Period.

Jenny you only read the news you want. Today, on the news and last night Bidon admitted his blunder and that the add was wrong. Say what YOU want but the fact is the fact. Bidon admitted it and also said he was not the right choice for VP. You realy think this country wants a known terrorist sympathizer like Obama as its leader? If so, you need to sit in the front row at the UN and listen to that idiot from Iran rant.

Obama was an illinois senator for 11 years. Try actually looking into something before y ou make a decisions on it, eh? Your ignorance is showing.

JOHN VLADIMIR MCPUTIN
Censorship at its finest!

Sherry, the employees, you know, in the cubicles, stock room, mailroom, etc. at Fannie Mae gave more to Obama – the directors, officers (the money people) gave more to McCain OK. Go to Factcheck.org and it will explain – like you, I listened to Rush, Hannity, Medves, “Dregs” Report, Fox etc., but not anymore. Education is key sweetheart.

Quietone, do you honestly believe that Obama is going to be worse than Carter. As far as I can see, Bush is worse than Carter since Carter did nothing. Bush ran this country into the ground. Even if Obama was as bad as Carter, it would still be an improvement. McShame is too much like Bush and will only continue his “work”. The way I see it OBAMA > McSHAME!

i wonder how many of you liberals out there would call the ACLU if ABC knocked on your door and told you you must answer questions about your children…you would also be first in line to file some kind of idiotic law suit..you liberals make this way to easy for us.

part of the job?
——
Yes, part of the job.
We live in a globalized, 24-hour news cycle, and the Vice Presidency is the second most powerful position in the country. She has to face the media, and by extension, the citizens of this country in an open, unscripted exchange of ideas to prove she’s up to snuff before she gets the job.
If the McCain camp doesn’t think she can handle it, why did he pick her? Oh, right. Because she’s a woman. He didn’t give a damn about anything else, and he knows she’s an idiot. Why else stage manage her so thoroughly?

As an Obama supporter, I am thrilled that the GOP is making it SO obvious that they are terrified to have her “speak” to the press without a scripted speech. How irresponsible of Mc Cain to choose such an incompetent running mate…if she wasn’t they’d be chafing at the bit to let her prove herself. So obvious…Thanks again. Go Obama/Biden.

QUIET – as long as she is VP I do not care about the qualifications. It is what will happen if something happens to John McCain that scares me. The qualifications for VP seem to be basically sit down, shut up and tow the party line. I think that she has that down now if she could just convince people that she can run the country if something happens to MCCain. That will not happen as long as she does Brittney Spears.

Hey…what about McCain’s wife Cindy…she is like a little puppy dog. He cannot go anywhere without her one step behind him….Gezzzzz

Posted by: Andrew ..i do not believe Obama would be worse than Carter…my point was, that no one could be worse than Carter..someone else said Obama would be worse than Carter. You musty not have been around when Carter was PRES..Bush was a little shaky, but worse than Carter?,,,you need to review some things.

Quietone, I don’t think they want to ask her about her children. She’s the one that introduced herself via People magazine. It’s easy to use the labels like liberal, ACLU, etc. Try thinking outside the box.
The economy is in meltdown. This bail out is what you might call socializing the financial services industry or corporate welfare. Deregulation caused this crisis, not crazy ACLU card carrying liberals.
Palin and McCain are accountable and should answer questions about policies.

She has NO education and what education she has she is HORRIBLE. What does that say? How in the world is she supposed to have a single opinion about how anything is done, finance, tax laws, international trade laws, tarrif laws, etc, when she knows NOTHING about laws of any kind? It takes YEARS of study full time to have the depth of knowledge you must dip into. TO hear compared ot President Clinton makes me cringe. He was Rhodes scholar f or God’s sake! He graduated Law school with honors. He did outstanding academically at anything he did, like Obama, and he knew laws inside out and upside down like Obama. She knows NOTHING. Honestly. Nottrying to be mean here, it’s true. McCain is so full of crap with his ‘country first’ statemtn. If he truly cared about this country he would have picked someone who could run it. shame on him, and shame on her for saying yes when asked. She’s so damn clueless she doesn’t even know what she doesn’t know.

It does my heaart good to see how many folks have palins number. Mc Bush says he acts on spontanious impulse. Choosing the big game hunting bimbo proves he can not be trusted to make wise choices. My gut says he would have us at war with Russia a week after taking office.

Sarah who???

It’s kind of pathetic when people are trying to defend Palin for not talking to the media. Granted she’s done two interviews. Big whoop!! She’s running to become vice president of the United States, and with 42 days left in this election, she needs to do as many as interviews as possible!!
Yeah Palin can go across the country and attack Obama and Biden on cue, but how can she handle a press conference?
Voting for someone because “she’s like me,” is not going to cut it. Palin was brought out as a distraction from the real issues at stake in this election. Now that Palin has energized the GOP base, what else does Palin bring to the ticket?
She’s supposed to be this gun-slinging moose hunter, yet she’s afraid of the press?

wjhw539-here McCain is one the record as supporting Bush 95% of the time.Thats not true it was 90%

Quietone, we don’t want a VP who needs training. This isn’t McDonalds.

I am a Canadian and watching this election with enormous interest — for many good reasons. I am, of course not alone in witnessing in absolute disbelief, the dismantling of democracy south of the border. What is wrong with the citizens of your great country and most disturbingly the media? This Republican party is eroding all that is great about democracy. Please step out of your bubble and get some perspective here. Sheltering Sarah Palin, someone one heart beat away as they say, from scrutiny should encourage protests in the streets — and the media cowers. This is a gesture that ought to ignite the flames of indignation and prompt MSM to remember why they exist in the first place — Edward R. Murrow is watching this with a heavy heart.

Quiet – to agree with hmm. I think that the kids would be at the bottom of the list of questions the press would ask. If I were a member of the press it certainly would be at the bottom of my list.

Palin and McCain are accountable and should answer questions about policies.
Posted by: hmm
you win…you used the word “should”..not “must”..please take a moment to explain to me how the governor of Alaska for 18 months is responsible for the way our economy is?…gotcha here.

Dear John,
This isn’t looking good and it doesn’t pass the “smell test.”
You can keep your beauty queen hidden from the American people and expect us to vote for you in November…
What is the problem here? Is it that she won’t be able to read the carefully written speeches written by the Bush speech writers off a teleprompter?
You “say” she is so competent and smart, well let’s hear what she has to say when she is grilled by 20 reporters -when she doesn’t have a script!
By the way it would be nice to hear what YOU have to say to a room full of reporters as well…
Something smells really “moosey” here!!

Ugly Broad..

It’s strictly a photo-op. I could of done this with Photo Shop from here. She can go back to Alaska and say she met heads of foreign government.

It sucks that very ugly people didn’t have abortions!
You Repugs are going to HELL!

Posted by: Scary ..there has not been a VP elected in the history of our country that had previous experience being a VP ( unless second term)..every one of them had on the job training.. know any surgeons out there that operated on a patients prior to going to medical school?

Quietone, she is not responsible for the economy’s state. She is responsible for demonstrating that she is qualified to be VP, which includes answering questions. This is not a marketing blitz, we’re talking about the second highest office in the country.

jhw539 – The bottom line is that nobody is hiding anything from you – you are simply waiting for the media to feed you a story. Most of what you need to know about Palin is available in official, public documents that are online. Plus, the media has followed her everywhere – they will be in this meeting too – not shut out like Obama did when he met with the Iraqi Foreign Minister.

She does not even report to work in Alaska, but she bills Alaskans for being at home?
Despite all of the discussion of Sarah Palin’s performance as governor of Alaska, there has been little analysis of the simplest measure of performance: attendance. As Woody Allen said many years ago, “80 percent of success is just showing up.”
The Washington Post recently reported that, in her first 19 months as governor, Palin billed the state of Alaska per diem charges for 312 days she spent at her home in Wasilla. Palin’s staff has explained that it was appropriate to bill the state for expenses related to Palin staying in her own house because her “official duty station” was at the state capital of Juneau, where the governor’s official office and mansion are located. But that argument raises a different question: How much time did that leave for her to spend at her “official duty station”?
Nineteen months totals 578 days, but after subtracting weekends and holidays, it is only about 397 workdays. Assuming Palin did not routinely bill the state for staying in her own home on weekends and holidays, she would have spent no more than 85 workdays in the state capital over the course of her 19 months in office, even if she traveled nowhere else in Alaska or outside of the state. That compares with 168 days that the Alaska Legislature was in session during the same period.
One of the state’s leading papers, the Juneau Empire, described her attendance like this:
“Palin has spent little time in Juneau, rarely coming to the state capital except when the Legislature was in session, and sometimes not even then. During a recent special session called by Palin herself, she faced criticism from several legislators for not showing up personally to push for her agenda. Someone at the Capitol even printed up buttons asking, ‘Where’s Sarah?’”

I would rather Bush stay in office than have a OLD POS like McPow!
McRetard oh that’s why the chose Palin she knows how to deal with RETARDS!
All REPUGS ARE GOING TO HELL!

……SARAH PALIN….ROCKS!!!…..
WHY SHOULD SHE GIVE ANY ATENTION FOR THE MOST VICIOUS PRESS CORP IN THE WORLD.
AMERICA PRESS, MEDIA HAVE LOST THE RESPECT OF THE WHOLE WORLD! the MEDIA IS A SHAMELESS BEAST IN USA AND ALL IT DOES IT TRY TO DISTROY SARAH PALIN AND HER FAMILY.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS SICK OF THEIR MEDIA, SICK OF THEIR PRESS…
AMONG MANY, ONE MORE REASON 80% OF AMERICAN VOTERS WILL VOTE :
………MCCAIN/PALIN…… in the coming elections!

Quietone,
At this level of leadership managing the press is a job requirement. To extend your analogy, do you know any high school dropouts that went to medical school? There are certain assumptions when you become a VP nominee, one is that you can conduct yourself with the press.

It’s also pathetic when people want to blame the media for doing their job by exmaning her record. She came out of the GOP convention guns blazing that she was this reformer.
Just because Palin said, “Thanks, but no thanks to the Bridge to Nowhere,” the media was just going to take her word for it?
People who defend Palin constantly claim that the media continues to go after Palin’s kids. When Palin originally burst onto the scene they did, but for the past few weeks they have reported on her record only..

Sarah Palin can’t face press. The terrorists must be drooling for her election. She is weenie, doormat.

I can’t believe you guys rant about there being a “leftist” media. Corporations own them all, and none of them are “leftist”. They aren’t even really “center”, all the media is either “centrist-right” leaning, like ABC, or it is “right” wing, which is FOX. There is no left liberal remaining, not even PBS represents that, but you have benn slowly conditioned over years until the center has been usurped by the right. The entire nation has failed to question any of the important questions and premises beneath the evening news. They all do the terrorist talk, they all beat the war drums, and there is not left-wing mainstream media, it doesn’t exist. Then many of you act like the “leftist” media was hard on Sarah Palin? You complained that the ABC news moderator was hard on her when he let her contradictions and ignorance slide again and again and again, let her say comppletely stupid things and then went on to the next question? Give me a few minutes with her, I’ll have her speaking in tongues to exorcise the devil out of me.

Republican = Child Molsters!

Guess What guys,…
She doesn’t know what to say.
She says what she is fed, and like a good little tool, she spews out what the staffers can try to put togeter without sounding terribly much like Bush.
hahahahaha.

Posted by: Scary …your assumptions…where is it written?…i need to know so that i can say that Palin is not qualified.

reddog: The percentage McCain supported Bush varies from 90-95% depending on the year. In the most recent year, it was 95%.
“Tell me the laws he wrotecause I look in the libary of congress and I find he has 2 laws passed in his entire time there”
You found the two laws he passed at the federal level. For context, how many laws did John McCain pass in that period of time? For that matter, how many votes did he even show up for (it’s fewer than Obama)?
I am more impressed with the laws he passed in Illinois. For example, the law requiring videotaping of interrogations and confessions in serious crimes was a textbook example of seeing a need and meeting it. While originally opposed by most of the legislature (and promised a veto by the Governor), he ultimately won full support and it was signed into law. It is widely viewed as a win-win law because it protected civil rights in a simple way that also gave prosecutors iron-clad material when they took real criminals to jury trial.

On May 8th, Obama, caught up in the fervor of a campaign speech Tuesday, drastically overstated the Kansas tornadoes death toll, saying 10,000 had died.”In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser.The death toll was 12.

Timmons, 77, will head up the transition team for McCain, 72.
The Inaugural Parade will head down Constitution Avenue, then cross the River Styx.

You think Margaret Thatcher would have been upset by Charlie Gibson?
—-
Exactly. A truly strong, smart, educated woman has nothing to fear from the media. It’s only the ones who know they’re out of their league that run and hide.
There are plenty of intelligent, well-qualified Republican women that could easily have been VP — say, Condi Rice, Olympia Snowe, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Christine Todd Whitman, for example. All of them would have been able to handle the press deluge of a VP running mate, and all of them would have not only had unscripted, open exchanges with the press by now, but they’d have done so repeatedly.
Palin, on the other hand, is being actively shielded and scripted by the McCain campaign because they know she’s just an election prop, and that once it’s over, she’ll be shoved off to the side only to be brought out for funerals and any event that McCain is too lazy to attend. If McCain’s supporters can’t see that, they’re being deliberately dense.
She’s a joke. Even the McCain camp knows she’s a joke. It’s the only thing that explains why they’ve coddled and shielded her so much since she got selected.

Just me: “Most of what you need to know about Palin is available in official, public documents that are online.”
I have found nothing regarding her opinion of Russia and the best strategy to take in light of the rise of China. Likewise, I have no information on how she handles a budget that is in defiecit (oil-rich Alaska doesn’t even have taxes – they have so much money, they give it away annually)(unless it’s federal budget pork, in which they lead the nation).
“Plus, the media has followed her everywhere – they will be in this meeting too – not shut out like Obama did when he met with the Iraqi Foreign Minister.”
Did you read the above report? This is a lie. The media was most definitely shut out from this meeting, and unlike Obama she did not give a press conference afterward.
“”The decision was made for this to be a photo spray with still cameras and video cameras only,” Palin spokesperson Tracey Schmitt told reporters.”
I don’t want pictures, I want to hear her opinion and approach to the Afghanistan problem.

Finally a solution is showing up!!! Good! Boycott the liar Sarah Palin completely! How come someone who aspires for the 2nd highest office, -still one heartbeat away from the presidency- is not giving answers and is not giving interviews? McCain had the stomach to compare Obama with Britney Spears and next he is showing up with this playback singer! He is just so ridiculous. Shame on McCain! Dear Media, please ACT and stop every Palin coverage! Is America a democracy? Well, see to it that you keep it!!!

Do you feel it? You know it’s coming! It’s getting closer and closer. Obama and his media circus has split this country in two. No matter who wins this election, the country will never be the same. And you know the worse is yet to come. Someone, on somebody’s side is going to drop a bombshell thats going to really upend this election. At least it’s keeping peoples minds off the real problems in this world.

I don’t blame the McCain/Palin camp for not wanting to allow the news media vultures to tear at Palin. All they want is to destroy her and the Republicans. Their intentions are not to hear or report the truth but to continue to distort it. Such evil I have never witnessed in all my life. God have mercy on this nation.

McCain’s treatment on The View, The treatment of Palin’s family by the media, the immense lies put forth about Palin by the media, Demonizing her by the likes of Sandra Bernhart, John Stewart, Charles Gibson, Charlie Rangel, Matt Damon and the like……..And now the media is upset that they don’t have access to her?

Svn: “McCain’s smart enough to understand that 1) the best path forward for financial services industry is a complex web of issues, impacting both US and global economies, and 2) knee-jerk reactions can have equally disastrous consequences.”
Last I heard, McCain was the one being eviscerated by the Wall Street journal and conservative columnist for knee-jerk reactions (fire Cox!) and “behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high.”
Of course McCain has had a good response to the financial problems – with the number of different positions he has flitted between in the last week you must be able to find one you like.

“Obama and his media circus has split this country in two”….Oh yeah. It’s obama’s fault that cons are running around with his picture on waffle boxes akin to aunt Jemima and that McCain supporters keep calling him racist names and lying about his religion. you peopl e are like abusive spouces who say “dont make me beat you. It’s your fault I beat you.” You guys are the creeps. look at yourselves. You’ve got a clueless old man and a uneducated bimbo running so all you have is just name calling and insults to throw becuase you havenothing intelligent to add to the conversation. Look at the hard core republicans on money magazine are also going for obama. they’re just as republicans as you except they have brains.

Well the McCain campaign doesn’t want the true Palin to be seen. McCain sould of pick someone better for the VP spot. Even Rep’s in congress question her for the VP stop. Can’t fool the people if Palin speaks now can you. I think McCain will lose a lot of states because of his VP pick.

M/P 08: Knock off the dumbass nonsequitors, you are about as trained as the rest of the campaign. Who writes that crap for you? What’s your point? Because you know what, the point Obama was making is TRUE, even in your mocking text I can see that he intended to point out we should have been thinking about fuel efficiency instead of building a Hummer market out of the coolness of war. He meant that the Fed could have encouraged fuel efficiency through various acts of legislation and did not during the neocon money party. That was his point, and it stands as true even if MPG estimates are off a little– which is FALSE anyway because indeed several Asian autos do get about 45 mpg, such asd hybrids that they rolled out way before us, who have yet to do so until 2009. Stop the bullshit and make a real point instead of doing dumbass slandercrap. You aren’t fooling anyone with your copy and paste routine, you are just an annoyance. You hear my voice? I sure as hell don’t hear yours, just a propaganda machine cutting and pasting, what a loser– AND YOU WILL LOSE COME NOVEMBER, mark those words, dumbass.

Palin is a joke. But nobody cares anymore anyway. Her 15 minutes were up last week.

“Last I heard, McCain was the one being eviscerated by the Wall Street journal and conservative columnist for knee-jerk reactions (fire Cox!) and “behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high.”…..Money magazine calls McCain a “nit wit”. These are STAUNCHLY republican people who are truly horrified by McCain and are opening saying they are supporting Obama. I with their less educated brethren would actually listen to reason.

Alaska is the rape capitial of the nation.

MCCAINIS THE PROBLEM. PALIN CLAIMS SHE IS READY from day oneALIN SAYS SHE IS READY FROM DAY ONE; it does out to be a serious over-statement. If she ready, why is being hidden from the press, and from questioning? This is McCain’s joke on the nation. There is an even greater concern. I have a great concern about Palin-McCain attitude towards the law, and feel that PALIN and her handlers HAVE DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE RULE OF LAW. In my view, this is a very important issue for anyone aspiring to be our leader, and we should all be concerned! This is the first impression we are developing about Palin since her emergence on the national stage. What are we to make of the fact that she is encouraging disregard for the law in Alaska! By refusing to testify before a duly constituted legislative investigative panel, and her Attorney General refusing that state employees should answer to subpoenas served on them, Palin is showing contempt for the law that one sees in the Bush approach to governing. McCain and Co., by reasons of convenience, might shout to us about a “witch hunt” against Palin. By comparison, Republicans expected Democrats to comply with Subpoenas from Kenneth Starr in his investigation of the Clintons and associates which many saw as simply over-reaching and biased. The Clintons complied! Palin would not. From this single act of disobedience, how can the nation expect that Palin, McCain and Co. will uphold the laws of the land should they ever get to the White House? Yet, this is among the most sacred obligation of high state officials–to uphold the laws of the United States! What is left for us to teach our children about the rule of law if those in high office would not respect it?

“Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
The McCain camp is following a very slippery slope here. They are holding their collective breathe, and banking that we as Americans are so damn stupid and lazy we won’t notice this lady has never given a coherent public address to the American people via off-the cuff questions from reporters. What can be revealed about her knowledge of issues that scares them? We know about her educational background, but what does that have to do with her talking to reporters if she’s so ready to become President? The wheels of this straight talk express is going to come the heck off pretty darn soon and it’s not going to be pretty.

So much for pitbull, it’s more like bulls*it, the repub nazi machine at work….

To the American elite media and press. Turn off your coverage of this Alaskan Moose Hunter. You have the power, now show us the POWER OF THE PRESS.

” I’m just sick of ignorant people bowing before the alter of Palin when they know nothing about her and say she doesn’t need to be ”
Insert Obama in your paragraph and now you know how the other half of Americans feel.

Hey Kate,
Just a quick note: when the VP candidate pulls up in a motorcade for well-publicized private meetings with a number of allies, and ignores self-important “journalists” camped outside, that’s hardly what I consider “sneaking in.”
Check yourself.

The McCain campaign will try to get her out of the VP debate with Biden next.

quiet tone,
I think the point trying to be made here is that we the people would like to know that when our elected leaders open their mouths to speak, that they actually can…. we alread had 8 yrs.
of waht have been called “Bushisms”, I don’t see anyone wanting 4 more of those.

Jab,
You wrote “This is first time in my lifetime that I remember having had a presidential or vice presidential candidate who refused to do news conferences or take informal questions from the media. It makes you wonder about her competence. ”
Were you not born a month or two ago when Obama pulled the same crap in Iraq?

hey what about the “right to remain silent”..our basic constitutional right..geez
——
You DO know that’s largely in terms of criminal prosecution, right?
The Fifth Amendment allows citizens due process, including the ability to refuse to testify if their testimony would incriminate them.
The second meaning of that phrase, “You have the right to remain silent” is part of the Miranda reading of a criminal’s rights, letting them know they don’t have to talk or say anything at all, because anything they do say can and will be used against them in court.
You’re not suggesting that Sarah Palin is hiding some sort of criminal activity, are you? I mean, why else would she go so far out of her way to avoid the media unless she’s got something to hide.

If this is how they run their campaign, how are they going to run the White House? Looks like ‘W’ may win a 3rd term if these fakers get elected.

Quietone – because I’m a big trivia fan. And Palin will be relegated to an obscure answer in Trivial Pusuit very soon. LOL

“Insert Obama in your paragraph and now you know how the other half of Americans feel”….HOW can you compare a the President of the Harvard LAw review and a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard to an uneducated nobody? How can you compare women who has said NOTHING in the wayof how to grow the economy when Obama has outlined aplan for growing ours? Have you even read his plan??? how can you compare a women who KNOWS NOTHING and was a mayor of a town smaller than my highschool while Obama was a state senator for 11 years and a US senator for 2 AND has a full up education where he did outstanding to this college flunk out who only demostrated how STUPID she is by doing abysmal in the EASIEST major of all – journalism!! LOL!! WHAT does this women know about ANY laws??? when she was talking to a trooper in her state about firing her brother in law HE had to tell HER that their conversatoin was illegal! she didn’t even know! SHE’s DUMB! period. obama is smarter than YOU and me and most others in washington. He gothis harvard degree based on outstanding grades/ His family had NO money, NO connections, he stayed in and did well because he is OUTSTANDLY smart! Palin is DUMB! I like Obama for his plans and ideas. Where are mCains? Where are Palins? gonna spend billions on drilling for less than5% of the oil we need that will not see a drop in 10 years. That’s a plan????? There is NO comparing these two!

In my opinion, McCain forfeited the election when he chose Palin as VP. Sure, she energized their base. But this isn’t 2004. I think the public is smarter now in recognizing that they are being manipulated by the Republicans, just to win an election. Palin is all flash and no substance. That’s why McCain hides her from the press. If McCain would have seriously chosen a qualified VP, I might have considered voting for him.

To the one who said that Sarah Palin should be able to handle “retards”, you are the retarded one if you are referring to her baby!

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President .
The old rancher said, ”Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.”
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old rancher said, ”When you”re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that”s a post turtle.”
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor”s face, so he continued to explain. ”You know she didn”t get up there by herself, she doesn”t belong up there, she doesn”t know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb *** put her up there to begin with.

jhw539 – Again, that information is available online. Both Fox and ABC asked her about Russia (if you simply google “Sarah Palin, Russia” the links will come up, but here are the links anyway: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,425161,00.html
and http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/Story?id=5778018&page=1)
As for today’s meeting – reread the story, CNN had a camera and a reporter there – unlike many meetings Obama has had with foreign dignitaries.
There is a huge difference between there being a lack of information and people simply ignoring the information.

And why should they give you access, or interviews, for that matter? You have printed smears you did not substantiate, you have lied about her, you have printed misleading headlines, and we won’t even address the Gibson interview, how it was hacked up, or the arrogance a mere journalist must have to believe he can “vet” the qualifications of Palin.
If I were McCain, I’d throw your butts out of every rally and event. And give press releases solely to Fox News once in office.
You’re shameful. You’re entitled to nothing.

Quietone – actually, Clinton was right. His sex life was nobody’s business. And I’m still waiting for Ken Starr and the GOP to pay the taxpayers back the millions of dollars they wasted on their failed investigation of Whitewater and their failed attempt to impeach Clinton. Remember, Ken Starr overstepped his bounds as an investigator when he went after Clinton’s sex life. The GOP tried to impeach a sitting President over a BeeJay that had nothing to do with what they were supposed to be investigating in the first place. The GOP should pay back the American people for their failed witch hunt!

“If I were McCain, I’d throw your butts out of every rally and event. And give press releases solely to Fox News once in office.
You’re shameful. You’re entitled to nothing.”
Yeah, but the dailykos, Ariana Huffington and the liberal sheeple deserve answers!

…WHY IS THE PRESS SO PREOCUPIED WITH PALIN’S someone WHICH HAS 80% APPROVAL AS GOVERNOR OF ALASKA?
…THE PRESS SHOULD BE PREOCUPIED, and very WORRIED OF..
… BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA….,
AND HIS 20 YEARS AS A GLORIOUS MUSLIM,
AND HIS 26 YEARS BROTHERHOOD AND ASSOCIATION WITH HIS HATEFUL SPIRITUAL ADVISER,REVEREND WRIGHT,
AND HIS CLOSELY RELATIONSHIP WITH REZKO SLUMLORD,
AND VERY MUCH WORRIED OF HIS ASSOCIATION WITH HIS ADVISER: TERRORIST AYERS…
AND A WIFE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN PROUD OF USA TILL FEW MONTHS AGO…BUT DIDNT LEAVE AMERICA. SHE SHOULD! IF YOU ARE NOT PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY, LEAVE IT!
ALL OF THAT IS WHAT THE PRESS SHOULD BE WORRIED WITH, NOT SARAH PALIN.
SARAH PALIN IS A TRUE AMERICAN ! AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOVE HER AND SHE WILL NOT ONLY WIN SHE WILL WIN GRAND!
GO SARAH, GO ! LET THEM TALK. KEEP THE GOOD WORK. AFTER ALL YOU HAVE THOUSAND TIMES HIGHER CALIBER TO BE OUR VICE-PRESIDENT THAN BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAVE…EVEN AS VP LET ALONE TO BE, GOD FORBID! PRESIDENT.

Thanks Edward, your rant proves everything I ever thought about you obama supporters. You don’t like hearing the truth about you man, when provoked, you reduce yourself to the gutter level. LLLLOOOOLLLLL!

Matt, reread your long tirade. Obama is certainly smarter than you and so is Sarah Palin. it’s just plain ignorance.
Typical Liber weenie. Or is that whiney?

Remarkable! In this country we insist on having “elite” athletes represent us at the Olympics, “elite” doctors and surgeons to mend our wounds, “elite” engineers to design our bridges and homes, “elite” soldiers to protect our shores, “elite” scientists to open the universe to our eyes; and yet, we insist on electing ‘hockey moms’ and everyday idiots to run our country! Go figure!

Gary Narin,
Palin went to a church that tought them that gay people can be cured, and she went there for 20 years also, so she’s not better, but worse….

When Barry was meeting with heads of state in Europe there were no cameras allowed and no one complained. She should not talk to the press until that pantload Charlie Gibson appologizes for his obscene behavior.

Why what do you mean Charlie? The Bush Doctrine, well, it’s, ah, err, I mean it’s what Bush wanted….
LOL
I wouldn’t let her leave Alaska or talk to diplomats. The world already thinks we’re nuts voting Bush in TWICE!

Come on, guys. Stop giving McCain such a hard time. I think it’s adorable that he took his daughter to work with him today so that she can see all the neat-o leadery stuff that daddy does. I’m sure there will be plenty of opportunities for the press to interview them later when McCain takes her to go get a balloon and a butterscotch sundae.

Here’s how another network is describing the meeting … “The press only caught a brief glimpse of the vice presidential nominee. Palin was seated in a large chair a few feet from Karzai, with a table in between them. Seated slightly behind Palin were campaign foreign policy advisers Steve Biegun and Randy Scheunemann, who are accompanying the governor in her motorcade today.
As the pool entered, the Afghan president appeared to be telling Palin about his young son, who was born in January 2007.
Palin, her legs crossed and at one point patting her heart, was leaning in eagerly and smiling. Karzai, wearing his traditional clothes but without his trademark karakul hat, was also grinning while discussing the child. His remarks were mostly unintelligible as the noise from the clicking cameras drowned them out.
“What is his name?,” Palin asked.
“Mirwais,” Karzai responded. “Mirwais, which means, ‘The Light of the House.’”
“Oh nice,” Palin responded.
“He is the only one we have,” remarked Karzai.
After 29 seconds observing the meeting, CNN and other photographers covering the meeting were escorted out of the room.
Later, McCain-Palin press representatives chalked up the restrictions to a “mix-up, a miscommunication among staff.” The full pool — a print and wires reporter, along with a television producer — was then allowed in to observe Palin’s meeting with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe for 15-20 seconds.”

By the time Sarah Palin will be fully ready to speak to the press it will be NOV 04TH….
Don’t you think that’s too late. I realze you guys allow Bush to BS his way into office for 8 years and you’re willing to do it again.
I just wish the rest of us didn’t have to suffer the consequences for you guys bad choices.

And what I’m saying is that if she expects to become Vice President, with all the press scrutiny that the job entails, she absolutely owes this country real, unscripted, and open answers to questions about the very real issues that this country is facing.
LJG…You say this…it appears you are an intelligent person….” with all the press scrutiny that the job entails”…why don’t we stop giving the press the power and take it back…put some of them out of jobs…they no longer report stories, they make them..so, once again, just because Barbara Walters asks a question or feels like she is “entitled ” to do so, does not mean that we have to give her access…

whynot you seem to think that Sarah Palin’s Christianity and her pro – life stand and the fact that she believes in creation not evolution are bad things and reasons for people to vote against her. I have news for you! Those are reasons for people to vote FOR her! They will help her, not hurt her on election day! I believe that the majority of people in America still care about Christian values and we will vote accordingly! We are not about to turn this country over to a bunch of godless liberal infidels no matter what kind of financial condition it is in!

i dont remember obama allowing the press into his meetings with top officials. The reason why he didnt was that he was trying to stop them having talks with President Bush over troop withdrawals, wanting it all to go his way. what a sneeky man
I cant imagine a single world leader that wouldnt want to sit opposite someone like Sarah Palin – she’s hot, she’s smart and she’s gutsy !!!!!

The contender for the VP can not run with the big dogs even if she has her lipstick on. Oh my the media is so hard on Palin, they should just leave her alone. Palin is not Britney she is running for VP of the Untied states of America. And yes the Media has been hard on all candidates but some like to pick and choose. When GW Bush was running, there was a lot of McCain bashing then Kerry Bashing. But since it is Palin getting Bashed, oh my she is such a girl leave her alone. Can’t take the fire get out of the kitchen

Jane,
Palin is running for President?

carlyonsue,
sounds like your waiting for God to save the economy…good luck…

I’m really surprised so many right wing, radical christian ‘true believers’ are completely blind to Sarah Palin’s shortcomings. You’d think that they’d at least see that her actions while in government(lies, deceit, back-stabbing, self-agrandizement) do not align with her stated beliefs. But, then again, when have christians ever been able to deal with the real world?

rightwingprof – that is the stupidest campain edvise I have ever heard. The more people learn about this girl the more Mcshame’s raitings go down and Obama’s go up. (Not that deregulation boy can’t make his raiting go down on his own) Hiding her is not going to work. enough is enough

Rednecks of America! Rise up and Defend your Candiate Palin’s Husband!

Louise, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING! SHE IS A IDIOT WITH LIPSTICK! DO YOU THINK INTELLIGENT LEADERS WANT SOMEONE WHO THINKS SHE CAN RUSSIA FROM ALASKA TO SIT OPPOSITE THEM. THIS WAS A COMPLETE JOKE OF A SETUP BY THIS ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEOCONS. WHAT TO BUSH HAVE TO PROMISE TO GET THEM TO SIT DOWN MORE MONEY LIKE HE HAS ALREADY GIVEN THEM HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS!!! GET A LIFE YOU MORON!

I am amazed, while disappointed, that stay at home “working” mothers are not speaking out on the value and honor of placing ones family ahead of careers, especially careers which obviously demand an enormous amount of non-family time. Mrs. Palin, having a child on a Monday and boasting about returning to work on that Wednesday should be ashamed of herself. The comparison should be: The difference between a GODLY Mother and a Worldly Mom: Family First vs her Pitbull story. If we claim to be a Christian and have children, we need to act like a Christian and model Christian motherhood.

How much longer is the third estate — TV, cable, print — going to allow this unprecedented behavior on the part of the McCain campaign to continue? I know that Gov. Palin is ‘the people’s darling’ and that this anti-intellectual tact worked initially, but it appears that an attempt is being made to entirely shield the candidate from any normal sense of political responsibility? This is nothing short of stunt politics, and so great a disservice to democracy that I would call it a light form of fascism. Is this really what the people want? If so, so be it, but God help us.

THEY DID NOT WANT TO CATCH HER CHUGGING A BEER BEFORE THE SIT DOWN! MAYBE SHE WAS GOING TO TELL THEM WHAT SITE WORKS BEST FOR SHOOTING CAMELS FROM HELICOPTERS!!

If the media had been a little more even handed with its coverage i.e. always painting mccain in a bad light, obama in a good light, maybe she would have been allowed to say more to the press. And anyway she’s running for VP, not president, and i’m sure once her and McCcain are in office you will see more of her in the press then now

Thank you ME IN VIRGINIA. I’ve been wondering why there hasn’t been much said about her priorities of her career over her children. I’m 46 and have no children, but that was by choice because I felt that my MOST IMPORTANT JOB in life was going to be to raise my children, and I have never been in a position to be able to NOT work.

Molly,
She is running for public office. Notice the word ‘public’. Part of being in public office is talking to the press. The press is refusing the McCain’s campaign request to turn Palin’s UN field trip into a photo op. We’ve had enough photo ops in this country, the people want substance. As the saying goes, “If you can’t take the heat…”

Craig C. – Obama’s socialist agenda? Cracks me up when Republidumbs try and work over Obama.
What do you call it when your federal governemnt bails out Fannie and Freddie, gives an $85 billion interest free loan to AIG, and gurantees the “bad assets” of Bear Stearns to facilitate the sale?
Say it with me craig – Socialism. That’s right Craig C. – you already have what you fear the most!!!! I wonder if any of the republidumbs can actually look in the mirror when they rip Obama’s socialist agenda???

Louise Said “And anyway she’s running for VP, not president, and i’m sure once her and McCcain are in office you will see more of her in the press then now” That is some stupid logic, so next time I go on a job interview I am unqalified for I am going to tell the interviewer. “I will answer more of your questions once I get the job not now” You are a total idiot

Sarah Palin will do just fine!
I know because she looks at the world in a Christian light and instinctively recognises right from wrong and everything she does reflects those principles. Sarah works cross-party lines and so does McCain. That is what true reform and change is about.
Sarah will do well because her answers will be true and come from within… She is a brilliant politician, someon we can at last look up to and be proud of. Male or female voters. No wonder she has over 80% positive approval rating. SHE GETS THINGS DONE!!!
We can’t say that much about Barack nor Biden who pussyfooted in Washington for 36 years…)
What a terrific choice for VP.
Go McCain – Go Palin!!!

I’m guessing the bottom line is the GOP wants to repeal the 1st amendment. That free press/free speech thing that has kept this country from falling into some form of fascism or totalitarianism is really getting in their way.

Perhaps the McCain camp is playing this out wrong with keeping the media away from Palin but in consideration of the recent track record of the media can you blame them? Never in my life have I seen such a biased and unprofessional set of journalism standards in my life when it come down to the coverage and attitude of the media against the Republican nominees. This includes the highly edited and biased interview by Charlie Gibson on ABC.
Rasmussen and other polling organizations reveal that American by a healthy margin feel that currently the media is biased in favor of Obama. Historically, this can cut both way in the political spectrum which was seen in the days of “On Bended Knee” during the fawning of the media over Ronald Reagan to which the media was highly criticized by the left. However, in this election cycle the outright hatred and bias against the McCain camp is unprecedented.
In my estimation the media will lose this battle with at the very least 50 percent of the American public – especially with Americans that live outside of the confined environs of metropolitan areas and cliques.

Sherry,
Obama has voted on plenty of bills. Please get your facts straight and don’t just believe everything you hear. McCain has more sketchy associates than Obama and in fact was indicted on corruption charges during the last financial crisis. He has also been firmly behind deregulation, which is why you’re about things at home take a sharp turn for the worst. The markets have been able to run wild with greed, and now the bankers want all of us to foot the bill. Bush is buddies with all of them and so is McCain. McCain owns 7 houses and 13 cars and is worth $50m. Obama has 1 house and 1 car and is worth just over $1m. I’m sure Sarah Palin is a nice enough woman but you might want to ask her why she made women pay for their own rape kits and didn’t fund the domestic abuse programs in Alaska well enough. Alaska has the highest rape rate in the nation. She did find the money for a sports stadium and other porky projects.
Willie

Obama gave a speech in germany where over 200,000 germans were chanting his name. Obama had a meeting with the french president and the guy was gushingly endorsing him. The British prime minister said a statement that was tantamount to an endorsement that so angered McCain’s team they asked for a retraction or words that were equally supportive of McCain. Britian denied the request. Cameras followed Obama EVERYWHERE so much so you guys argued that he was getting too much coverage. Do you guy have ANYTHING you don’t whine about?

Hey Truth Matters your comment was brillant!! you started on a christian point eg: truth and honesty etc… then ended it with Obama and Biden Pussyfooting it for 36 years! I have a lot a conviction in your thoughts (not!) and as far as Palin how many years will she be Pussyfooting it? ( pund intended)

Yes, but remember how Mrs. Palin asked us to Hold Her Accountable. That statement, which was a catalyst in her successfully famous RNC speech, should be at the forefront of her decision to or not to cooperate with investigators. Unless, she has something to hide. Again, what she said and what she does are in contrast to each other. She speaks boldly about pro-life under any circumstances is interesting seeing that my Father in Heaven never mandated to me that a woman who has been raped should have to carry that child, conceived of/from an evil abomination, within her womb. She, like many of us Christians, sometimes loose perspective: What about the loss of the life (alive) of a soldier on the battlefield of a foreign country (a country that we removed their evil leader and they have long been capable of defending themselves-without our intervention). Mrs. Palin and many of us are guilty of favoring Pro-Death vs Pro-Life and especially in the aforementioned example. Please ponder this.

Good for Sarah Palin, and the McCain camp. The media aint nothing but lying, manipulating creeps anyway. She doesnt owe ABC or any other Obama loving media a thing. The people will decide if Palin is credible, and not based on what the media says. Theyve already lost all credibility.

ps Sherry since I doubt Palin will respond right away, this is why we have the American press, to ask tough questions and force politicians to answer.

If McCain/Palin get elected this will be the start of a fascist government. Control of the media and censorship are the first steps. What happened to “visibility” and “accountability”?

Too many laugh lines…could you please tell the people why bo shut the press out? Ok I will, so he could go against his own policy and delay the return of our troops, but for good reason…he didn’t want them to make a deal with Bush, he wanted to be the HERO and cut the deal himself (so sure he is already potus), never mind that by postponing even more troops would die, but for his own glory it is justified. Now that’s good judgment, thats what you need to be POTUS “good judgment” not experience… so says the bo.

Sarah Palin is a comical character and i think street producers should pick her story and make a paparazzi film of her. Perhaps she will serve Americans better as stage actor that government official.

Badger1: “The people will decide if Palin is credible, and not based on what the media says.”
HOW? Where specifically are we to get informed about Palin if she refuses to speak to the media? I elect a *person*, not a roomful of speech writers.

I am so disgusted by the repubs..why are they hiding her? She can make a complete sentence..I’ve seen her read from teleprompters and speeches. Say what you want about Obama/Biden but atleast they aren’t hiding from the media. How is McCain campaign justifying this? By saying this was a communication mix up…Yea right? This is shameful…this lack of respect for the American people is ridiculous.

Hey ABC………plenty of news here!
I guess not helpful though….Huh?
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122212856075765367.html?mod=djemEditorialPage

why are they hiding her…because they care more about staying in power than anything else, including the welfare of this country.

Cant believe the press is still going after her after all these, they should completely ignore these idi*ts and focus on what is good for this great country.

Maybe… they want her to visit 57 states before letting the Obama loving media on her. According to Obama, she has one more state to go. We’ll see.

Raines over 100 mil& Gorelick and Johnson over 100 mill from Freddie and Fannie. Frank, Dodd, Schumer, and Obama helped the
meltdown.

M/P 08: It’s rather sad when every one of your posts seems to turn up a page at the urban legends website, snopes.com.
But I suppose McCain’s only campaign strategy is to whine (lipstick on a pig is a smear against all women!) and go on misstatements from the opposition – who is actually willing to talk unscripted to the media.
(To be fair, McCain is getting hammered for his “gaffes” too, little things like:
About how long we’ll be in Iraq: “Maybe a hundred. Make it one hundred.”
“The fundamentals of the economy are strong”
etc…)

Look you commie-pinko liberals, the fact is: all intelligent, thinking people of this country are going to be voting for Obama/Biden come November. Unfortunately, They’ll need a majority to win the election!

None of you deserve any time with her. Your treament of her and her family was a national disgrace. None of you have any right to demand anything from her.

Ahh, yes we do! This woman is running to be Vice President of the most powerful country in the WORLD!!! We have EVERY right to question her!
SHE is the disgrace!!! SHE is an insult to the intelligence of ALL American’s and we should ALL be offended!!

Willie -
If your knowledge is the result of MSM “reporting”, then why should M/P bother with the press?
+ McCain was reprimanded for bad judgment, not indicted
+ McCain is fundamentally a deregulator, but has backed necessary regulations to avoid fraud, abuse, etc. Check out ABC’s own story on this, and the Wash Post editorial.
+ Even Politifact has admitted that there’s no real evidence that during her tenure there was any push to directly charge victims for rape kits, and that the policy/practice was much more targeted to get some payment/cost-sharing from health insurance companies.
+ Palin didn’t fund domestic abuse … well, actually, Palin cut funding for Covenant House from 5m to 3.9m, which was an increase from the 1.2m provided the year earlier. And, the remaining 1.1m went to food banks and other social services not listed in the bill sent to her.

The Obama campaign’s just jealous. Biden only gets a few hundred turnout when he speaks and Palin gets 60,000.

So as to not be guilty of secrecy like my comments regarding Mrs. Palin, I am a Republican and have been for many years. I am also a practicing Christian and my race is: Christian. My struggle in all this mess is that we, as a Party, have sacrificed our integrity and morality on the alter of Party lines. To think that the many questionable and GOD given discernments surrounding the honesty and integrity of Mrs. Palin should be dismissed is in and of itself an example of why non and/or lukewarm beleivers view modern day Christians with great Skepticism. I tell you the truth, It Is Written: THEIR EYES WILL BE BLINDED TO THE TRUTH.

If the MSM doesn’t refuse to cover their campaign until they are permitted access they aren’t doing their job. We as voters deserve to have questions answered about where she stands and how she would deal with foreign heads of state. The only way that can occur is if she answers questions. What does this situation remind you of??

What is wrong with the media? DEMAND a press conference with this woman NOW….and she might be a heartbeat away from the White House.. God help the world. Time to show some spine media people, we rely on you.

Frank, Obama is eye deep in freddie and fannie and second only to Dodd in receiving contributions from them.
You and the W.post are wrong and maybe you should read a credible news source.

Palin is a testimony to the fact that the republicans still think that america is stupid!

Sarah is there for decoration. McCan’t must not have any confidence in his VP pick if he will not allow her to answer any questions without his presence looming in the backgroud. Why not put a shock collar on her and if she says anything she is not supposed to, he can just shock the he!! out of her.

I’m impressed “me in virginia” and i agree 100% with your comment on the disgusting position Palin holds that women should develope the sperm of a rapist into a baby that is half rapist. That is beyond disgusting for me. That is involuntary servitude of the most digusting I have ever heard of since ‘comfort women’ of WWII. As a christian I have a HUGE problem with thousands, tens of thousands killed in a war that had no r reasons. I think God is heaping mad at us forthat. What IS killing with out cause but murder. So what is killing en masse without cause but Mass murder. I want to be proud of this country, but we have acted very very shameful under republican rule.

M/P 08, you are sooo lame. I know the civics book you’re speaking of. the quote, in context, is about civil rights and how a black man LIKE Obama could become president some day. get your facts straight bro, cause you’re lookin’ like a GOP lacky.

Well The Debates might not be that great considering the McCain camp whinned like brats to have a 1 Q/A type debate and they can’t dispute the others answers in this type of format. I can’t understand how in the Hell the Biden Camp agreed to this.
At somepoint when are they going to take off the kids gloves.
I think on the Dem & Reb side… Obama is the only one trying to win this election. He has all these obstacles. The media won’t do their jobs and really get at and cover Palin n Mcain. Biden & Bill are saying some things that are hurting their own Party.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
Sarah is a joke and wish she would get on the view, at least they would ask her some real ?’s

John, the washington post IS a credible source. Second, Obama is FOR regulation and always has been. Deregulation is as republican as being anti choice. Are you going ot tell me now that it’s democrats fault that there are too many anti choice judges on the bench too? This IS supply side economics at work here. You need to learn what your own party stands for. It’s not JUST racism. Because some of your economic republican gods are suddenly overcoming theirs to say theyare supporting obama because they a re THAT concerned about our economy.

THE VIEW???? You call that journalism??????
Those old cronies (with the exception of the only cutie pie, which is a republican) are so in bed with NObama it’s sickening. They want NObama to knock them up so they can abort it.

S Adams: “Matt– Palin graduated with a Bachelors degree in journalism.
GWB–attended prestigious Philips Andover Academy, graduated from Yale, then went on to earn an MBA at Harvard
What’s your point?”
I’m not the original poster, but I think the clear facts they were pointing out is that by education and record, Palin is quite likely to be a worse president than GWB. Seems pretty obvious really if you believe education matters for anything (and if you don’t, you must save a bundle hiring a doctor from the parking lot of your local Home Depot).

Sarah Palin is a bad joke on the American people. I have more foreign experience then her! I also can see Canada from my back porch.

Hey jhw539… I can see the Home Depot from my house and… nope, sorry you’re right, they’re having a parking lot sale on doctor’s as we speak! hey isn’t that the ‘first dud’… sorry I mean ‘first dude’?

“I have yet to hear what Obama’s plan is”…that’s funny. Ihave heard of many of Obama’s plans and they arent good, they are GREAT. What is his energy policy? do you know? What about that wind farm that denmark bought when mcCain and bush cut it’s funding. did that go anywhere? what about obama’s plan for more engineers, scientists and biologists to compete in global markets. why? because russia, india and china are now graduating more than we are. Do you know any of this? why not? If you don’t know what obama’s plan are, who is to blame? They have been out there for months and months. You made up your mind without even giving him one single look. ignornance. That’s why. You’re ignorant. at least those in your party who had actual theories that have been proven wrong actually KNEW what the otherside thought and are now jumping ship but you can’t because you don’t even know why you’re on board. If this country does fall back to a third world country, which I firmly believe it will under McCain, it will be becasue the experiment of self rule didn’t work. Maybe you shouldn’t give stupid people the right ot vote. look where it got us. It got us here and they are even too stupid to know they did this. they are too stupid to even know the policies of wh they voted for. how pathetic. good day.

AJ, you think Sarah is a joke? Naw. Here’s a joke…
Q. Why did Obama change his name from Barry to Barack?
A. He thought Barry sounded too American.

Bush didn’t get into harvard based on merit. He got into harvard because daddy gives endowments. Bush was in college because his family bought his entrance a nd gave plenty of money to make sure htey would not flunk him out. Palin struggled to graduate in journalism after SIX YEARS! A FLUffanutter degree that should have been an EASY four. It took her 150% longer than the average person. She is DUMB DUMB DUMB. bush has personality flaws similar to Palin in his idea that god talks to him and he doesn’t need advisors when he forms his opinions he wont let silly things like facts get in t eh way. But we will NEVER knowhow smart bush was due to the Massive family intervention and coddling he got as far as his ‘education’ is concerned. Obama graduated harvard with honors from MERIT! he was poor a nd ONLY got in due ot gradesa nd only STAYED IN due to grades and scholarships based on good grades. WE KNOW Obama is very smart. we KNOW Palin is very dumb. We will never know about bush because too much is too clouded by being born privaledged.

Q. Why is Barack Obama so thin and scrawny?
A. If he were any heavier he wouldn’t be able to walk on water.

Proof that Barack is the Obamessiah
Obama preached to the multitude by the side of the lake.
Obama created new states from out of the void.
Obama turned whine into Kool-Aid® for his followers.
Obama came to us carried upon a donkey.
Obama triumphed over the beast, the enemy of all men.
Obama was stoned and yet he has risen.
Obama’s flock has millions of sheep.
Obama will reign over us from a house with many rooms.
You must have no other candidates before Obama.
Obama will raise voters from the dead. Count on it.

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

Q: What do you get when you cross a crooked politician with a crooked lawyer?
A: Barack Obama.

How about photo-op my a$$?
It’s not as pretty but it’s available!

I have read more than a few biographies of great men and in one of them, John Adams biography, there was an interesting theory that was f rom JA himself, a nd that was that the MOTHER of the son made the difference in how great the man would be. Which makes sense with this idea that few great men have great sons. Abigail Adams was known to advise Thomas Jefferson for a while! And as we know, John Quincy Adams was the exception to the rule that the great father had a great son.

I have a hard on for McPow!

Scared is an example of out of control bi-polar liberal morons wasting time, we all know your a liberal nut, and you don’t help the liberal cause to help people think you lieberats have brains. Take some Prozac and calm down.

To all those who replied to me after I’d already said goodbye: what a bunch of cowards, just like your party! Grow a pair! I’d give you mine but you’d probably lose them whining over something else. Glad I checked back in to see your true stripes. Crybaby wooses! Go put your diapers on, or Depends, whatever it is you’re wearing nowadays.
Over and out.

1. Barack Obama will cut taxes for anyone who makes less than $227,000 per year, and will eliminate income taxes for seniors who make less than $50,000 a year.
2. Barack Obama will end American dependence on foreign oil in ten years, by putting hybrid cars on the road and providing tax credits to help buy them, promoting renewable fuels, and increasing gas mileage standards. He recognizes that America must produce its own energy resources as well, starting with requiring oil companies to produce from the offshore leases they already have before giving them access to more.
3. Barack Obama will create jobs in America by investing in developing the renewable energy America needs for the future, and rebuilding America’s roads, railways, ports, and other infrastructure.
4. Barack Obama will promote fiscal discipline by reversing the Bush tax cuts for corporations and cutting wasteful spending and “pork-barrel” legislation.
5. Barack Obama will look out for America’s veterans. He fought for improved veterans’ care as a Senator, and worked to minimize homelessness among veterans, and will ensure that the Veterans Administration is funded and reliable.
6. Barack Obama will help more Americans attend college, by providing a $4,000 tax credit to make it more affordable, and making the financial aid process more efficient.
7. Barack Obama will accelerate the development of sustainable energy, by investing $150 billion over ten years to make technologies such as solar and wind energy and hybrid cars more accessible, and requiring a defined portion of electricity to be from renewable sources.
8. Barack Obama will lead America in meeting the challenge of global warming, by instituting a cap-and-trade system to limit carbon dioxide pollution.
9. Barack Obama has been a productive Illinois State Senator and U.S. Senator. Among the bills he has sponsored are federal bills for higher standards of veterans’ health care, decreasing lobbyists’ power in Washington, preventing nuclear terrorism, and increasing gas mileage standards; and Illinois State senate bills for: improving campaign finance regulations, expanding the childrens’ health care system, and making welfare programs more efficient.
10. Barack Obama had the judgment to oppose the Iraq War from the start (unlike his opponent), and will responsibly end an occupation that costs $10 billion a month.

Oh my this is the first I have heard one of the requirements to being VP of the USA is being HOT. Being HOT will get us far with the economy or with finding Osama Bin Laden… NOT. I know a lot of nice looking women, maybe they should try out for VP, Dam calling all Dallas cowboy cheerleaders opening for VP of the United States of America. Miss USA? How about the winner of the Swan?

carlyonsue – You are a joke too. The Media, Republicans and Hillary have tried to find as much dirt on Obama as they and they came up w/ nothing. No major stuff like the rest of them…so know you are taking stuff like Rezco who helped him buy his house… so has a hundred other Politicians had help buying their house or remodling and he didn’t take lobbying money to do it. Rev. Wright, well I got a hundred other preachers white, black etc… who do the same things in their church..Then calling him a MUSLIM.. nowing damn well he isn’t, especially if he was in a BAPTIST CHURCH FOR 20+ years. I don’t think 20 years ago, he was going to run for President and decided to convert. GIVE ME A BREAK…
If Obama had any real hard core misdealings.. The media and RebuliCONS would have been all over it and he would have never made it through the primaries.
THE SAD PART, is Little Miss FAKIN.. is getting away with all kinds of scandals and injustices in ALASKA and it’s OK. I wish they would run her stories like they did w/ Rev. Wright because she was ACTUALLY ABUSING HER POWER.
IGNORANCE = BLISS.. REPUBLICONS MUST BE VERY HAPPY PEOPLE

I’m Fred and my dad beats me.
I’m Fred and I want to send kids to die!
I’m Fred and I like when my mom plays with me if you know what I mean :)

Fred, it’s not democrats that are immature, it’s liberals and their anger being out of control. They say their intelligent, but their chameleon nature just shows how in their party they are the black sheep, and that pisses their Prozac taking childish minds off.

tmacioszek you fail to mention what do you get when you cross an fundamentalist nutcase who supports the Alaska Separatist Party with the job of Vice President—you get a traitor to the USA who will happily push the button that sends you and the rest of us to an early grave.

Emma, perfect point made. The truth is what liberals hate and run from.

“Why would anyone in their right mind vote for a manufactured piece of political fluff?”
You mean like the media manufactured, Barry/Barack Hussein Obama?

Palin is a disgrace to all women. Madeline Albright would have certainly talked with the press. So would Coni Rice. She obviously does not have a thing to say that is of any interest. McCain should be ashamed of himself for doing this to women. He obviously thinks we do not have what it takes. As an Independent, they have lost my vote

AND McSAMES VP the Stay at Home VP…. The Washington Post recently reported that, in her first 19 months as governor, Palin billed the state of Alaska per diem charges for 312 days she spent at her home in Wasilla. Palin’s staff has explained that it was appropriate to bill the state for expenses related to Palin staying in her own house because her “official duty station” was at the state capital of Juneau, where the governor’s official office and mansion are located. But that argument raises a different question: How much time did that leave for her to spend at her “official duty station”?Nineteen months totals 578 days, but after subtracting weekends and holidays, it is only about 397 workdays. Assuming Palin did not routinely bill the state for staying in her own home on weekends and holidays, she would have spent no more than 85 workdays in the state capital over the course of her 19 months in office, even if she traveled nowhere else in Alaska or outside of the state. That compares with 168 days that the Alaska Legislature was in session during the same period. One of the state’s leading papers, the Juneau Empire, described her attendance like this:“Palin has spent little time in Juneau, rarely coming to the state capital except when the Legislature was in session, and sometimes not even then. During a recent special session called by Palin herself, she faced criticism from several legislators for not showing up personally to push for her agenda. Someone at the Capitol even printed up buttons asking, ‘Where’s Sarah?’”Can you say Corrupt, Making the state pay you for playing hooky, How many days if they are elected will she be in Washington? Or will she bill you and I for staying at home.

To Emma and Liberals are Idiots,
You guys must have been friends with Palin from your community college days huh? We “liberals” totally agree with what you say. I mean, its so sufficient to talk about kids, and the weather, and your knocked up teenage daughter with world leaders, I mean, thats what makes the world go round right? Plus, its just about getting a good picture with a world leader to PROVE that you have foreign policy experience (besides that romp in Cancun during spring break), right? You guys are so right! Liberals with all of their education and ideas, who cares! We want another GW Bush and people like McCain and Palin who have graduated from the bottom of their class because they’re the REAL smarties (they must have just hid their intellectual abilities from the rest of the world). So us liberals will waste time in school while Palin gets tan in her Governor’s mansion and gets her nails done and fire people she doesnt like. Thank goodness we liberals have such outstanding thinkers such as yourselves to put us in our place!

McCain and Palin are just puppets for the GOP and lobbyists. If, and that’s a big ‘if’, they get elected we will end up with Rove in charge again from behind the curtains. I hope that the American voters are too smart to fall for it again.

US Citizen_04 – you forgot to mention that the per diem amount Palin charged the state was significantly less then her predecessor’s. You also left out the part about how Alaska’s geography, winters and sometimes dangerous weather conditions factor into the story and why the state’s governors (Palin and her predecessors) often work from home.

Liberals are Idiots,
You’re a freak! Go suck your bother off! POS cowboy, with a hard on for McPow!
You’re mad because Liberals are better than you!

You also forgot they have a residance for her, and that she was out more then in. Oh and how many other govenors changed thier states for staying at home. Lets see Back East they have big storms and get stuck, but since she is a hot woman its ok? if it would have been a Democrat doing this you would have thier heads, go to your heard they are waiting for you.

Nineteen months totals 578 days, but after subtracting weekends and holidays, it is only about 397 workdays. Assuming Palin did not routinely bill the state for staying in her own home on weekends and holidays, she would have spent no more than 85 workdays in the state capital over the course of her 19 months in office, even if she traveled nowhere else in Alaska or outside of the state. That compares with 168 days that the Alaska Legislature was in session during the same period.

Awwww, liberals are idiots, is that all you’ve got? Oh, I forgot, since in community college you didn’t learn how to read or write or develop any intellectual understanding of politics, you are just saying lesbian, lesbian, lesbian, lesbian…which is really cute on your part, I like that. But aren’t YOU the real lesbian for supporting Palin?? Oh, I get it….YOU’RE the lesbian nut and are in love with Palin, thats why you want that idiot in office. Are you thinking a little Bill and Monica action for yourself? It’s okay! If you can rake up enough money to go back to school and finally get your college degree and maybe even go to grad school and learn how to think and read and write, then you may not like your lesbian Palin anymore.

Please carefully note what it says below the top pictue of Sarah Palin with Hamid Karzai “The Alaska governor is visiting with various leaders for the next two days to bolster her foreign policy credentials.” Note she will meet various leaders over the next TWO DAYS! First of all, she is meeting with several would leaders for only about 25 to 30 minutes each. 2. The leaders she is meeting with are ones that have to DEPEND on the United States for their support so obviously they will go easy on her! 3. Do you REALLY think that world leaders have either the time or the willingness to spend HOURS trying to educated this dimwit? 4. “to bolster her foreign policy credentials” WHAT CREDENTIALS! SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANY!!! The extent of her foreign credentials is that she can “SEE RUSSIA FROM MY HOUSE.” IS ANYONE FALLING FOR THIS REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA?
On November 4, the fat lady will sing and Obama will waltz into the White House! GO TEAM OBAMA-BIDEN AND SEND THIS PUPPY DOG IN DIAPERS BACK TO ALASKA AND THE OLD MAN BACK HOME–IF HE CAN FIND IT!

LOL, slow down and use proper grammer you little minded liberal cry baby, LOL.

“Strong smart women support stron smart women. “…yeah, I know. Palin is as dumb as a stone. It took her six YEARS To finish a JOURNALISM degree. Itshould have a been a breeze in four. Im an engineering graduate. how much respect do you think I have for this women??? take a guess. My biggest fear is that mccain wins, god forbid, doesn’t survive hisfirst term, it becomes President Palin and she absolutely TANKS the country being miles upon miles over her head anbd NOBODY will remember she was a dumb as stone women, they will ONLY remmeber she was a women and she will single handledly set back women hundreds of years.

I think this Palin being embraced by right wingers shows that right wingers really do notlike smart women. The only women theyare comfortable with are the ones who show their legs, have a pretty face, and have no brains. Such an odd contradiction. They are all judgemental for women who are sexually active, yet theycan’t seem to respect women who doesn’t give them a hard on. Talk about collectively thinking with their dicks!

It should also be mentioned that she JUST got her passport last year to visit National Guard troops in Germany and that was her literally her first and only time EVER leaving the continental US. Prior to that she had been to Mexico and Canada once each i beleive.

LOL, LIBERALS, “grammer” is spelled “grammar” ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Why did McCain pick a VP that would need shielding? And he and she say that she is ready? Ready for what? Obviously, they have no clue what they are supposed to do? Is it our or the media’s fault Palin has dirt all over her record? If the dirt didn’t exist, it wouldn’t be uncovered! And they wonder why the press seems so biased! Is there anything good to talk about Palin??? Republicans want the press to lie??? like they do??? I don’t know why people want to elect Palin-McCain if they’re going to act in secrecy and for themselves, not for the American people! We deserve to know who is going to run this country and how they’re planning to do it…so far, all we’ve heard from the Republicans is Hush Hush…let’s not upset the VP…

McGoo cares nothing about women. That is evident by his voting record. He’s just using Palin. I’m sorry she’s playing along with it. If he was really a maverick he would have chosen Lieberman like he wanted to.

Sue, LOL, are you liberals now critizing C.C. students? LOL, you people are soooooooo blinded by your hate and anger, that your so called sophisticated minds explode with such rage, that it does nothing but point out that you liberals can dish it out, but you cry babies liberals can’t hack it back, LOL. As for me and my eduaction, try Northwestern and #22 in a class of the most intelligent people i ever met in my life. And the funny thing is that, the highest ranked liberal in my class, was #63, LOL.

she’s talking to Karzi about children for God’s sake! Do you think ANYONE would DARE to ask Margaret Thatcher about her children?????

I’m McSex and I love beauty queens and drag queens like that Rudy freak from NY!
We’ve heard more from that pill popping fake what ever you want to call IT, then the dog with lip stick.

Bottom line -
McCain let us down when he selected Palin.
He is 72 and he was responsible to select someone who was capable to take over EVEN, God forbid, if he had a stroke a moment after saying….I Do.
Ok, he wanted a woman….why didn’t he choose an experienced Republican woman to join his ticket? There are plenty of excedllent choices.
Now he has to hide Palin because they are terrified she may….actually speak to the PRESS.
John McCain let me down and he let down his country with this choice.

USCITIZEN_04–If you want to use that logic then Obama only served 143 days in the Senate before deciding he was ready for the presidency. I’d say that makes Palin more qualified.

Almost every time this woman opened her mouth in public she’s managed to stick her foot in it, beginning with her acceptance speech. Of course the GOP campaign is shielding her from the media–the media ask the HARD questions because she’s not speaking the choir as she is a GOP functions. I shudder to think that this uninformed brown nosing individual could be just a heartbeat away from the presidency if Americans are stupid and or predjudiced enough to vote for McCaine

________________
From your comments, I assume you are a Republican. I was wondering what are three policies of the Bush/McCain Administration you would like to see continued for four more years. I want to have something to tell the liberals I know.

#63? Where did you go to school? BYU of Idaho, or Provo? Listening to Sean Hanity does not = taking a class!
Maybe you went to school in the state hospitals for Retards which explains why you have such a hard on for Palin. You think she’s going to breast feed you?

Oh Liberals, okay okay, keep making up colleges that you went to considering that you spelled “eduaction” (supposed to be education sweetie) wrong. Oh well, I have a masters AND a PhD and yes, I dont want a dumbass running our country, period. Oh, and you should have spent more time studying where ever you were instead of taking tallies of which spot people in your class graduated (thats if you graduated at all). Its okay, I’m sure you can go and get your GED soon (but make sure you study this time and dont let your bitterness take over and distract you in terms of “oh, this liberal graduated 100th in his class, blah blah”…unless he’s running for Pres. of course). Peace…..we’ve got some real work to do instead of sitting on here all day. Thanks for all of the insight though, it definitely proves our point about you :)

I am a devout Christian, that used to be Republican, but God is pro-choice, so who are we as the government to vote on that. That’s dictatorship!! The Reps have diverted the issues for the past 8 years. Our nation is headed for complete bankruptcy, being slaves to China and Japan because of our indebtedness to them. Jobs, homes, retirements, and life savings wiped out!! My husband and I are highly educated and will be fine, and would like to remain that way. So if you make less than 5 mil per year, you are poor according to McCain. The same politics as Bush. Not smart to vote Rep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sue, what are you, an englich teechir, LOL. Sorry about that, but I did grauate form Northwestern, LOL. You people on here are just liberal computer nerds that spinds their lifee on the commputer, LOL.

Roni, LOL, LOL, your killing me, LOL.

Well..if this is another Charlie Gibson interview (someone who was picked by YOUR party), then you should change your stage name to “Deer in the Headlights.” I’d throw you over to Campbell Brown if I could…then your name would be “Roadkill.”
But seriously, instead of the infantile jokes, the people here want to understand your frustration….so name 5 policies of McCain/Palin that are better for this country (that includes economy and the war/Sunni awakening). I’ll give you a minute to google your answers and get back to us.

KEATING FIVE and JOHN MCCAIN-As crooked as they come!!
Wake up folks.

They will take Palin on a field trip today to meet nine heads of state and Bono. When she is done she will be a bona fide expert on foreign affairs. When you add this experience to the experience she gained looking out of her window to one of the Russian islands, she will be ready to lead the free world. Isn’t that special.
On the way home they will take her to the store and buy her balloons and candy.

Obama needs to challenge McCain on being afraid to face the press and only being willing to have orchestrated interactions with the press. Sounds like more Bush!!!!

One of things I find remarkable is that some people (usually myopic, right wing reactionists) still believe that mouthing the word “liberal” denotes something negative. Sorry to inform you otherwise, it isn’t the 80′s anymore. Liberals are the ones upholding the Constitution and Bill of Rights these days – the ones making sure ALL Americans are treated fairly. It’s the GOP and RNC who have stomped on our rights and laws by their behavior and covert actions. It’s time for real patriots, real Americans, who value freedom and value each person, no matter their life circumstances, to take this country from the fear-mongering, money-grubbing right. Soon, we will be able to go from saying “Yes, We Can” to simply “Yes!”

True North 8,
That is so funny and saddly so true.
BOO!

What will it take for you Americains to see that Mrs.Palin is not only NOT qualified to be the VP, she is just an idiot. It has nothing to do with being a woman, she just isn’t ready for the world stage. Craig C., if the government bails out the banks, hey, you are then closer to being a ‘socialist’ than you know, and the Republicans have taken you there. Talk about pink!
I like Mr.McCain, but once you see he is the real elistist(how many houses?), and see that the other guy is far smarter to help your country, and has NO terrorist connections(that is the stupidist thing I have read to date), hopefully you will vote for Mr.Obama.
Good job ABC and others, don’t play any Sarah video until she decides to speak.

50 bucks says she never does a press conference…
It is becoming clearer, that despite over 80% of people saying our leadership has the country on the wrong track…IMO, there is a strong possibility the country is unlikely to make a 180 degree change and put a young, Democrat, African American, in the White House…take that leap of faith we did in 1992 on a young Bill Clinton.
Therefore we are likely to end up with the oldest President ever, with Sarah Palin has his VP. As a country, we need to wake up and realize the path we are heading down. The statistics show us that there is somewhere around a 30-40% chance that at some point, she will become President for a period of time in the next 4 years.
So, given this we must take a cold shower on who she really is and ask is she qualified to be leader of the free world given the following:
1. at 44 years old, she is an attractive, articulate, folksy, and appealing candidate to certain demographics – clearly a talent in connecting with people
2. some demonstrated capability in 19months as Governor to take on special interests – took on her own party impressively
3. she has a Sports Journalism degree from Idaho State, in which she took 5 years to achieve a “C” average
4. she is a Pentecostal Creationist, who believes that the world is less than 5,000 years old
5. no “world experience” as she has not travelled outside of Alaska (the US or overseas), until very recently. Just got a passport 10 months ago.
6. she lauds her teenage daughter’s “decision” to keep her baby, despite the stated goal to take that choice from others
7. she is under investigation for abuse of power – which she refuses to answer, despite promises.
8. she has repeatedly exaggerated, and sometimes lied about her background, despite clear evidence contradicting her claims (selling plane on eBay, being against Bridge to Nowhere)
9. she said, in her only real interview, that in her opinion, “it is OK to go to war with Russia”
10. She has yet to submit to a press conference, submit tax records, or explain her role in Troopergate
I ask a simple question, which is, given the above, can anyone say with a straight face that this ticket/political party that is a sensible choice given the above, and given the perilous state we find ourselves in after 12 years of GOP congressional rule and 8 years of executive rule. We need to think very carefully…as Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”

Sadly a lot of women like to be dominated and controlled that’s the only reason they would vote for McSex/Falin. They’re very very weak women.
The really sad thing is Republicans have kids. I feel so bad for those kids. They’re taught to hate, lie, and cheat.

Sarah Palin: The Candidate from Nowhere on the Road to Nowhere. Thank You, Jesus!

ENOUGH! STOP COVERING THIS PALIN PERSON.
She is the joke of the century, and the press keeps her name out front making her feel OH SO IMPORTANT! SHE’S NOT IMPORTANT TO ANY OF US, BUT MCBUSH, WHO IS RIDING ON HER SKIRT! WHAT A MESS THIS COUNTRY IS IN!!! AND IF THOSE TWO GET IN, GOD HELP US ALL.

By the way, this just in: Sarah Palin says she can see the moon from her house, and is therefore thoroughly qualified to speak with aliens on behalf of the United States of Earth on matters of intergalactic importance.

——
Note from the McCain campaign; reporters will not be allowed to interview Ms. Palin when she speaks with the aliens.

So appropriate for the first Head of State Ms. Palin meets is President Karzi of Afghanistan, because Palin can see an afghan on her couch.

This has got to be the most phoniest campaign ever. Here’s a VP candidate that cannot be asked questions. That’s reform and transparency for you. She’s transparant and trying to reform the truth. How long is this charade of keeping this VP candidate muzzeled going to last? Man, if she’s a ticking bomb, why in the world they they pick her if she can’t speak on her own? Who’s running the McCain-Palin campaign, Bozo The Clown, The Three Stooges, or Mary Poppins? What a circus this has become. I guess Rove’s Playbook has a hillarious ending.

McCain must really think all Americans are stupid. Because this Palin person has a 2 minute talk with a foreign leader…do you really think we are buying that NOW she has the necessary experience?? This has got to be the dumbest campaign I have ever seen.

Badger, take your meds, find your blue blanket and take a nap, causing you’re dreaming, man!

What ever happened to McCain’s straight talk express? They’re afraid to let Palin open her mouth, because everything she says is either rehearsed, a lie, or stupid!

Jake
Sorry dude , but the press, and media have lost their privilage to question Sarah Palin with 24/7 smear campaign. She and her camp will decide when and who she will talk to. Hope you dont like it :D

She has a script all written out for when she meets all these people. It starts with…You know, I can see (substitude country or name) Afghanistan, Columbia, Kessinger’s house from my window. I’m a hockey mom, and I use lipstick and shoot animals from an airplane. After meeting with them they all called the WH to complain about this “whatever person” they just met. It is reported that Kissenger felt so insulted meeting this mental midget that he renounced the Republican Party and said he would vote for Obama. Never in my life have I ever been so insulted, said Kissenger.

Badger: I keep seeing your ugly, nasty and totally illogical posts on nearly every news site on the web. I don’t know if you are one of the many PAID Republican thugs or not, but I am wondering where you left your black hat with skull and crossbones? Frankly, I usually just go right past your posts become they are always the same line of twisted hate and Republican propoganda that I see over and over again! Just another evil and empty head thug. I have a question for readers here. Do any of you really read this guys posts or take him seriously? It is not just Joh MCCain and Sarah Palin who is LOSING this election Republicans, but nasty little worms like this one!

Badger–Not only will Barry Soetoro, Barry Dunham, Barack Hussein Obama, whatever his name is, not release his birth certificate, he also will not release:
Academic records, documents about his dirty Rezko land deal, some of his senate records, Columbia thesis paper, Selective Service registration, Law practice client list, ….. the list goes on.

Is Joe Biden losing it?

Hey man, Anyone wanna meet me an Barry for some crillz?

And howabout that loooooozer Michael Dukakis,coming out of the closet to play the race card. What a joke. Word of advice to Dukakis,,,,,, Dont even show you face, man. Everybody has just been reminded as to why you lost in 88. Go back to your elitist life, and dont come back.

ITS ON!–Better idea- let’s send them to their own island, they can have all the abortions and gay marriages they want and in 50 yrs they will all be extinct. If you send these Obama appeasers to Iran, they will all be wearing Burkas and bowing to the Iranian president Ahma-nut-job.

It is absolutely amazing that the McCain campaign has blocked media access to this woman, whom few people. The people so enamored with Palin do not love her as a candidate, they love her as a construct, and a diversion to a weak McCain and stronger Democratic national voice.

Are you serious? Less than 50 days from now until the election and they are hiding her from the media?
Doesn’t that tell you people something? She isn’t ready to be VP or if necessary President. This was nothing more than a photo-op so that she could say she had met with world leaders.
Oh by the way, Sarah….shut up about Iran and a second holocaust. You are not diplomatic and you have no authority to call in the Army if Iran decides to blow up Americans. Shut up you idiot.

imo
“elitist” has less to do with how much money someone has, and more to do with how they view those who are less fortunate, and less educated.
John McCain is by far the most generous of all the candidates in this race when it comes to charitable contributions. Cindy McCain ahs been traveling the world helping those less fortunate.
Obama brother lives in a hut, and earns a dollar a day.

’bout the media stood up to this carp. i say don’t cover anything that she does until she makes herself accessable to the media the way all the other candidates (and their spouses) have been doing for years.
now, i think that it’s ok to dig into her past, because that is apparently the only way we are ever going to find out anything about her. eventually, she will have to deign to respond to something…

I go into my daughters room and night and bother her. I think she likes it. My wife doesn’t mind, she does what ever I say :)

Free Sarah Palin!!!
Free Sarah Palin!!!
Free Sarah Palin!!!
How good can your candidate be if they give her less time in the outside world than the Scientologists???

I wet the bed

I give my kids crack

This article should say, “Obama/Biden camp is still blocking the release of Obama’s past records of his history to the American media and people”.

Thank god for freedom of speach. What is ABC gonig to do about ITS ON’s ignorant post? Stop him from posting? Tell him to leave his daughter alone? Tell him not to wet the bed? Tell him to not to take advantage of old people?

OMG “ITS ON” is so FUNNY!
Thanks for the entertainment :)

GOP – Yes they can stop him from posting. I guess neither of you read any of the terms of use. Why are you defending this individual anyway, birds of feather???? By the why “speach” is not a word. It’s “speech”. Now get back to the topic which is about Palin avoiding the media.

Sarah Palin is absolutely amazing. She has achieved more at 44 than Obama , and Biden combined.

Liberals are queers that fondle keyboard with such passion. Liberals are morons who need love and comfort from their drug addict parents.

IT”S ON–lmao.

The McCain camp has to hide this woman because she shows what type of decision maker he is. Look at his choice…He could have selected Kay Baily Hutchinson is he just wanted a woman..Or he could have taken Mitt Romney if he was concerned about the economy….No he takes a good looking woman that can’t go two years in her own state without scandal. He takes a woman that has been out of the country one time. He takes a woman who’s husband will think he is the vice president…since he acted like he was the governor of Alaska. He took a person who thumbed her nose at the legal system that was trying to get to the bottom of her abuse of office. He took a woman that knows less about the economy on a macro scale then my son who is in his first year of college…of course he’s majoring in economics…What was her Major in College????

S Adams, now those are facts, thank you for putting that moron in his place, as you can see, he needs some self-esteem and comfort from his moronic mind.

Obama needs many miracles to be president of this great nation.
McCain/Palin does not need any miracles.

Vote4peach: You need to realize and understand that both BADGER and IT’S ON are NOT republicans at all, but only pretending to be. What they REALLY is either racial bigits or skin head NEO-NAZI members of the Aryan Nations. Hitler lovers who try to srpead their twisted hate and racial bigitry in the name of the Republicn Party. While I am a Democrat I have many good friends who are Republicans and yes, we do fight back and forth with one another, but I have NEVER hear a nasty 4 letter cuss word from any of them. Religious people do not talk like they do and neither do responsible Republicans. Just totally ignore them as their post are meaningless, without merit and TOTALY IRRELEVANT!!!! I am glan I finally smoked them out into the open for all to see!!

You Republicans are so stupid, no wonder this country is so messed up. First you twice voted for an recovering drunk who lied us into war and now you want to vote for a 72 year suffering from PTSD and dementia and a clueless media dodging 1st runner-up beauty queen with NO foreign creditials. No wonder you all keep using your ignorant posts as a why to try to distract. Too late though because Wall Street has exposed you Republicans.

Country first remember????? NOT.

I do not hesitate to tell you that I am ready to be US President. However, I do not accept interviews, questions, or anything that make me headache. Just know that I am ready to be US President. Understand?

how children behave
i guess at some point the press will have to be polite???? I doubt it.

Republican anti-abortion activist John Allen Burt was charged with sexual misconduct involving a 15-year old girl.
Republican County Councilman Keola Childs pleaded guilty to molesting a male child. He pleaded guilty only to keep his family out of the liberal media’s spotlight.
Republican activist John Butler was charged with criminal sexual assault on a teenage girl.
Republican candidate Richard Gardner admitted to molesting his two daughters.
Republican Councilman and former Marine Jack W. Gardner was convicted of molesting a 13-year old girl.

MCCain lost my vote, simply for, I can’t take a chance on Palin, unless I know where she stands and thinks about real issues. Guarding her is going to be MAJOR BLOWBACK, for MCCain’s campaign. Why listen to Rick Davis?

Sarah Palin puts people in there place. She has what it takes to be a vice-president or a president.
Obama needs many miracles to be president of this great nation.
McCain/Palin does not need any miracles.

As Cherie from Ohio brilliantly said on another blog, Sarah Palin is McCain’s “weapon of mass distraction!”

“Sarah Palin puts people in there place. She has what it takes to be a vice-president or a president”. Wow! this is really me! No wonder why I am over-qualified for US President.

I guess Rick would rather have Muslims destroying this great nation.

Yep Republicans are god fearing

Sarah Palin puts people in there place. She has what it takes to be a vice-president or a president.Obama needs many miracles to be president of this great nation.
McCain/Palin does not need any miracles.
What you are trying to say is that you don’t think America will elect a Black President. I will say to you that America has changed and that many White people look beyond the color of skin…Look at Obama’s supporters, they are a representation of everyone across this nation. My suggestion to you is to turn off fox news and watch someone other then Shawn Hannity and the racist at fox news and you just might be surprised. I’ll see you at Obama’s inauguration

How do you know that is whar she does Mr.Free at last, She will not talk.

I’m surprised that they had her meet personally with the foreign dignitaries. I would have thought that she could have viewed them from her hotel window, and that would have sufficed as an “experienced” visit. I mean, it worked for Russia……

America’s first black president will be a Republican. The american people have voted for republican candidates in the last 7 out of 10 elections (soon to be 8), Gore and Kerry couldn’t win against Bush. That’s because 60% of the population has republican values.
America is NOT going to vote for a racist, radical, most liberal, inexperienced Jr. Senator, with ties to terrorist and criminals and endorsed by terrorist groups, such as Hamas. It just isn’t going to happen.

Most people running for public office like free publicity. They don’t have to pay for it, so why is she running from the media. How can you be a public servant and not talk to the press. What is she afraid of. Many reporters are female. IS she afraid of them also.

When Republicans keep calling Obama a terrorist and Muslim, they look foolish. They need to stop. Nobody is listening. They just look rediculous.

Paula Lacey…Cannot accept the truth when it is before her eyes. She is blinded by her love for a Muslim. She yearns to be one of four wives, her every though controlled and to be thrown into the street in her old age.

Gov Palin has the media, libs, and Hollywood in a panic!… Obama Baby, you are a good public speaker, but you are also the most liberal candidate that is the product of Chicago Southside Political Machine which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system and I don”t want you anywhere near the Oval Office…have a nice day.

rhbate…Do not forget the rifle to pop the balloons. Palin is more woman then Obama and Biden are men. She has the strength and intellect to bury those Democrat little boys.

Shawn, You are 100% correct. Fact is, Sarah owes all the losers nothing. I love the way they call her ignorant trailer trash= lower expectations= shock and awe when she totally tools Biden in their debate. The press should openly acknowledge they have been in the tank and freaked out over the reception of Sarah. Over 60 thousand people hit the street last Sunday for 23 minutes of Sarah…..Where was the press on that? The press should just continue to focus on their Obama puff pieces and not to pretend that they are “vetting” Palin while ignoring every aspect and association of Barrack. Fair press is dead, has been for a while….My Omama, beats Your Obama!

The media has completely lost credibility with the voters. An example would be in May of this year, a free concert was given in a park in Oregon, Obama crashed it and spoke for 15 minutes and the media immediately picked it up as 65,000 people had shown up just for him.
A recent example would be tonight on CNN, Larry King is interviewing Ahma-nut-job. Why is the media fawning over this idiot and giving this freak of nature air time?

How in the World can you say She is being Vilified when She came out of nowhere untested, untried (on the national stage) with a bunch of Personal Bagage, An ethics investigation and when She does talk to the Media it’s as if She is a Queen and not someone Who is asking the American people to Put Her in Charge of the Nation (2nd seat)?
Sarah Palin’s demeanor has given me an idea. I am going to go to the bank tomorrow and ask for a loan but I will not give any information about myself and I will not answer any questions that are asked of me and I will scream foul If they turn me down and I will tell everyone who will listen that they are rude and uncooperative and see if that will get me approved.
What a Joke John McCain is.

Your liberals’ aim to destroy Palin is so obvious, so what do you care about what she has to say? So you can take her words and twist them wickedly to your vile liking.
Instead of examining her records and argue what she can do for this great country, so far, liberals and their media have shown much hatred and personal attacks against Palin.
Shame on you filthy hypocrites’ liberals and your media for calling her names. Until you can look into your innocent child’s eyes and confidently say that you NEVER EVER inflate, or in another word, lie on your resume, you can stop accusing her of lying.

If Sarah thought she would be treated fairly by the media, I’m sure she would talk to them. But they have treated her even worse than they treated Chaney and that from the day she was selected as Mc Cain’s V.P. running mate. When John and she are finally elected I’m sure she may find time to talk to them-if they demonstrate they can be fair.

BARACK OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM!!!! It is just compete slander and anyone who continues to use this as a “Scare Tactic” is using the 9/11 tragedy to invoke fear and panic and you should be ashamed of yourselves for disrespecting the memories of the Americans who died that day.
If for any reason He was brought up Muslim that was a decision His Parents made for Him but as an Adult He CHOSE to be A Christian, Which He has been for the past two decades.
And by the way, what is Wrong with Muslims? Just because A Muslim Group caused the 9/11 tragedy do not mean that all Muslims are bad People because if they were the whole world should be burning by now.
What about Waco, Or the Jim Jones Massacre, Or other extreme “Christian” Groups who do things in the name of Christ? Does that make all Christians and Christianity evil or bad or extreme? Should We be afraid of Jerry falwell or Robert Schuller? Of course not.
So I say get a grip and get a life and stop acting like you are children and grow up!

Sarah Palin does not need to say anything. Joe Biden is doing an excellent job changing Democrat votes to Republican votes. Now that is what I call CHANGE.

They will take Palin on a field trip today to meet nine heads of state and Bono. When she is done she will be a bona fide expert on foreign affairs. When you add this experience to the experience she gained looking out of her window to one of the Russian islands, she will be ready to lead the free world. Isn’t that special.
On the way home they will take her to the store and buy her balloons and candy.

By the way, “Linda” you probably will get approved for that loan. The liberal run Congress and Senate Finance Committee will make sure that you qualify…no income report required!

This description looks like Obama. Obama denies his true religion and Biden cannot keep up with all the lies.
Pathological liars have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. A pathological liar often comes across as being manipulative, cunning and self-centered. It sure strikes a chord.

Actually, “Judge” hit upon an excellent point. The strategy really is brilliant, especially given the amount of energy its creating. An old saying goes “Better to appear a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt”. Looks like the seasoned, politically savvy Sen. Biden could learn a thing or two from the Alaskan Governor.

Linda…Your homework must have included these links:

jtrace, you need to get it right – If Sen. Obama were white, he’d be just another nobody junior Senator from Ill.

Vote America into poverty, higher taxes, depression…Vote for Obama/Biden

right hand masterbater (aka: rhbater)is gay and loves Al Franken.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? SARAH PALIN HAS NO BUSINESS IN THIS ROLE??? ARE PEOPLE THIS BLIND AND STUPID??? THEY MUST BE

Palin was completely vetted and McCain knew everything about her and her family before he chose her. The media villified her from Day 1 with no proof of anything.
Posted by: S Adams | Sep 23, 2008 10:32:23 PM
I don’t think she was vetted at all. Well maybe by Rove. Actually, no. McCain wanted Lieberman and that should have been his choice. Palin has no business being vp. It really is a joke. The media has a right to know more about her as we all do.

The media can not and should not be trusted to report “fairly” on Sarah Palin. Unlike an earlier stupid post suggest, Sarah DID NOT come from nowhere and land on the National stage. Democratics and Republications have known who this woman is for several years. Blogs were discussing the Governor of Alaska well over a year ago. Much speculation had her on everyones watch list. In fact, this is the reason for the bogus “tasergate” headed by Dems when she was on the radar as a potential VP. All parties have seen the evidence and memos regarding this incident and it is a fact she has done nothing improper and everybody but the drones know it. The press has questioned Sarah, ad nauseum during her tenure as council member, Mayor, and Governor. Hours upon hours of interviews exist showing Sarah speaking with the media. Does it not strike you as odd that the MSM hasn’t showed these clips to you? The reason is simple, Sarah is not a drooling idiot. In fact, she actually shows herself to be thoughtful and bright, and that isn’t what they want you to see. So, the MSM cries about not getting 5 seconds to try to humiliate her like that is a fair representation. Unquestionably, Sarah is qualified to be President of the United States. Maybe more so than John, Joe, and Barack. I don’t recall any of those three actually developing a budget of billions of dollars and actually vetoing pork items. The fear of Palin is not a lack of qualification, but stems from an abundance of qualifications. I respectfully disagree with some of the positions that Sarah holds dear. I tend to do the same with the others. But, I do respect that all of these individuals have the right and the resume (despite the thinness of Baracks) to run for President. What passes here for political discourse on the seriousness of the candidates positions and how they address Americas most pressing issues is laughable. And, hard working folks wonder why NEITHER party really gets anything done.

No presidential candidate picks a VP without vetting them. It is too risky. If a scandal comes out it would completely ruin their chances of winning the presidency. No candidate would take that chance. I’ve been hearing Palin’s name floating around for months. She is a maverick, just like McCain and McCain also knew that picking her would win over the Clinton voters and draw the conservative base. She also has an 80% approval rating in Alaska.
That said, the media needs to play fair and report the facts, instead of conjectures. The liberal media made up their mind right away to hate her and should be held accountable for their irresponsibility and blantant bias toward Obama. It’s time the media reported the news and not their opinions.

NEVER FORGET

Considering how unprofessional, biased and slanted the press has been in covering Palin, I don’t blame the campaign committee for wanting to meet the press on their own terms. I’ve read the fluff pieces from the press interviews on Obama. He was told he was so charming, sexy, etc. His questions were about his personal life – but not important things like the Rev. Rezko, ACORN. Plus – WHERE HAve THE PRESS BEEN IN INVESTIGATING THE CHARGE OBAMA TOLD THE IRAQIS TO WAIT UNTIL THE ELECTION AND WORK WITH THE – WINK, WINK – NEXT PRESIDENT.?That is tantamount to treason. No reporter I know will give Palin the type of respectful interview they have given Obma. Perhaps he makes some reporters admit he gives them a chill up and down his leg and she doesn’t. Eitch What a thought.

American economy is in jeopardy!! Obama is the first one to give a six point scale and then McCain copied most of them to come up with his plan with 5 points after a few days. The people know already that McCain is a drama King! Here the facts…
McBush’s (McCain) agenda is very clear at this point of the race to the Whitehouse-
1. Stealing almost all innovative ideas of Obama and sugar coating; and pretending that they are McCain’s- What happened to patent rights? Obama said “No Blank cheque: nearly 4/5 days and McCain has twisted the same on 23rd September 2008 stating that “[…] money simply can’t go into a black hole of bad debt with no means of recovering the funds.”
2. Pretending that McCain is against Bush while accepting all donations from Bush
3. Trying very best to get Obama’s financial strategy out by saying “Obama has not yet revealed the solutions for wall street melt down” Why is that McCain is not asking the same from Benanke, Paul Harrison or George Bush who are directly accountable for this mess, because McCain knows that none of them have a specific plan to issues at hand unlike Obama.
4. Now the last McCain trump is to humiliate Obama by releasing connections of unproven Chicago machine stories – Hello, McCain we are still waiting to hear the actions taken for professional abuse by your VP and also her tax clearance records. They both should come out before the election.
5. The New York Times is supporting Obama 150% (according to BBC news today) – What about Bush administration is supporting McCain’s election campaign by 150,000%?
6. McCain also said that he is the expert and the most experienced person in the race for this leadership and can easily get over with debate, but today BBC says that McCain that Obama is so good (http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/09/23/mccain-lowers-expectations/) at that and better than Hillary Clinton, but the truth is that McCain is the genuine guy – you are terribly wrong McCain, stop this deception right now or pay the consequences. Can you say when Iranian President argue with you on nuclear deal ” I am not so good at debating, but I have the substances” Will Iranian President “BUY_that-IN?” Mr. McCain- Look before you leaps!!! Please don’t play the race card and patriotism.
The world is colorless Mr. McCain – open your eyes please, and all Americans who serve their nation are “PATRIOTIC”, and don’t forget the people who died because of WMD- remember your Master’s IRAQ INVASION???
In conclusion, McCain repeats Obama’s ideas (established/ promised already) using different vocabulary and portraying a picture to convince the public that “I am not Bush” , so “fight for me” and I will fight against the terrorists, invade countries and relieve people from poverty (WMD!!!) and screw up the economy (Wall street crisis) to take all Americans to the third world countries. So vote for McCain and welcome to the third world – America. That is McCain’s Patriotism and 26 years of experience in “WHITE.”

Anyone trying to convince you that McCain has any merit as a candidate for President is probably a paid blogger for McCain. Today George Will wrote that McCain lacks the temperment to be our president. Sound harsh… or maybe not harsh enough. If George Will turns on McCain can Republicans in the Senate and Congress be far behind?

I wonder if Gov. Palin went on a week long European/Middle East tour and had free rock concerts to lure 200,000 Germans to hear her speak if they would think she has Foreign Affairs experience, like Barack Hussein Obama? I can tell you Gov. Palin would have visited our wounded in Germany unlike Obama because he couldn’t have photographers/photo op. Please….this woman has governed 900,000 people on a daily basis and kept her state safe and prosperous….what has Obama done except get asbestos removed as community organizer, worked 143 days in the Senate, and voted 130 “present”.
COUNTRY FIRST McCAIN/PALIN….NOT EGO FIRST OBAMA! Even Biden is probably voting his good friend John.

Polls show the nasty campaign ads are Obama 77% to McCain 56%…..SEEMS OBAMA IS AHEAD IN THE NASTY AD WARS!

The way John McCain treats Palin shows that he does not respect her, except as a fund raiser and a campaign treat for the right-wing base of the GOP. She’s eye candy for his floundering campaign and that’s all. Why else does he keep her from the media. Does he think she’s too dumb to answer questions? McCain is using her. It’s despicable.

When Palin finds out she’s been duped and used by McCain for a political pander, she will turn on him the same way she has turned on so many politicians in Alaska. With a vengence. McCain’s legacy is toast and Palin will be a big part of the story, when it’s all been told. I can see the book title at Barnes and Noble: “The True Story of How John McCain Used and Abused Me… The Inside Tale of the Disasterous 2008 Campaign, by Sarah Palin.”

The NYT and Washington Post. Keep doing it. You both are losing subscribers and profits. Its the hope that you will be gone in 10 yrs. looking like local versions of the National Inquirer! This media is despicable, including the major TV networks. Don’t need you any more. It will be the great silent majority that will elect this President and make the East and West Coast media insignificant. I would hope McCain/Palin would bar all of them from the press conferences after they are elected! We need honest reporting, not Yellow Journalism as provided by the MSM!

Your wing-nut conspiracy theories are lame and disproven. You can’t talk about the future under a McCain Administration because the prospect is so bleak. So we hear the same old muslim crap and the same old wacky pastor crap. We expected lies, smears and sleazy tactics from the campaign of the morally bankrupt John McCain… you did not disappoint.

When push comes to shove that’s all you got? The same old lame and tired crap we’ve been hearing from the right-wing nut jobs for 8 years? Do something noble and go to Iraq and search for some Weapons of Mass Destruction. It was Mission Accomplished 5 years ago. John McCain and George Bush said so.

The center for Responsive Politics keeps track of Fannie and Freddie political contributions. The top three U.S. Senators accepting political donations were Democrats 1)Chris Dodd 2)Barack Obama 3)John Kerry. Fannie and Freddie have been creations of Congressional Democrats and the Clinton White House, designed to make mortgages available to more people and as it turns out, lots of who could not afford them. Fannie and Freddie also have been places for big White House Democrats to go to work in the private sector and pocket millions. Clinton Administration White House Budget Director Franklin Raines ran Freddie and collected $50 million. Jamie Gorelick – Clinton Justice Dept. Official – worked for Fannie and took home $26 million. Democrat Jim Johnson, recently on the Obama VP search committee hauled in millions from his Fannie Mae CEO job. You people with commonsense, can see the hypocrisy the Democrats show when talking about connections to Fannie and Freddie. Obama was 2nd in line for political piggies. Liberals really don’t have a conscience when it comes to facts and reality. Information from a real and trustworthy reporter and news organization, Fox News.

It’s not about Palin. It never was about Palin. It’s ABOUT McCain and his pandering pick of Palin. She had a real future in politics until she let herself be sucked into the McCain disaster. We’ll probably never really get a chance to know her except as a quirky footnote in history, like Geraldine Ferraro.

If McCain could go Back to the Future, he would have run a noble campaign like he promised he would when he said he “would not take the low road to the highest office” in America. Instead he let himself get sidetracked. That’s why so many people no longer have respect for John McCain.

Gay Steve from wherever….OBAMA’S NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ADS 77% TO McCAIN’S 56%….please….stop the crap spewing. We all know the low road Obama is taking and the race baiting is going to start full force to get some whitey guilt voters….won’t work. But he does have the young and ignorant vote locked up.

You know, if McCain and his crew were smart they would have run someone like Elizabeth Dole as VP, but this, this Palin thing……stupid is as stupid does. These two want to run this country…….they are going to save us all from this situation here and abroad? I dont get it, what makes any of you people think these two are going to do anything to improve anything for any of us some 290 million “other” Americans? Every solution they have that I have heard has essentially been nothing more than a short term patch on a long term problem that isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Throw money at everything and hope it goes away? Not much of a policy, especially when “you” don’t have any money. Palin is not qualified for the job of vice president and she certainly is not qualified for the job of President of the United States of America. This is not a job that can afford an internship and on the job training. There is a legitimate concern as to the health and well being of John McCain and his vice president may very well be asked to take over at some point, hopefully not, but lets be realistic, McCain is not a 50 year old man. We have tuff times ahead either way, just seems to me we would be better served by putting the “old gaurd” to rest and letting the next generation assume their proper place in running this country.

wheelerx….you got that right…NO ON THE JOB TRAINING….NO BHO IN THE WHITE HOUSE…better that he put in more than 143 days in the Senate, don’t you think? You kill me. GOVERNOR PALIN has MORE EXPERIENCE TO BE PRESIDENT THAN HE DOES BOZO. What, pray tell is his Executive Experience? How many people has he governed and had in his care?
COUNTRY FIRST McCAIN/PALIN
NEVER EGO FIRST OBAMA!

So Emma, you would compare Palin’s experience to that of Elizabeth Dole? Guess you havent been around much.

The ill-considered, misinformed, and just plain ignorant ramblings of the vast majority of these commentators — from the left and the right — is sickening. If these are the people who are most involved in and interested in our politics, God help us all. There has to be a better way than wading through all this bull—-.

America needs to provide Amnesty NOW! – Illegal Aliens are people! – They deserve to bring their families here too, as long as they pay their taxes, they are contributers. VOTE OBAMA – MAKE AMERICA BETTER!

Of course Palin should be criticized for not letting the press being present when meeting foreign leaders.
Hey, Obama, on his World Tour 2008, met the UK prime minister and the French president without any media presence and ….. hmmm, and nobody in the media criticized him for this.
Yepp, just another ugly example of the left-wing media bias, the press is pretending to be outraged by the restrictions because it gives them a chance to write hit pieces on McCain-Palin.

yes they have to shield her from revealing her ignorance. They no she is a wrong and totally inexperienced pick from the far underpopulated Alaska.

The Obama campaign banned the press from his meetings with a couple of European leaders earlier this year.
Is that ok?
Why the double standard?
Media aside, Afghan President Karzai called Palin “impressive” and “a very capable woman” who “asked all of the right questions about Afghanistan.”
In the end, all that matters is how the meetings went. How did Palin do? By all accounts, she was excellent and the meetings went great.
Therefore, the ad hominem attacks by the lunatic liberals are without merit and without substance.

“To believe in traditional values, American Exceptionalism, God, and moral truth is to be branded as old fashioned and foolish, even by the best assessments of those who have bought into the cultural Marxist’s message. And by the worst of them, we are branded as stupid and evil, and in need of being destroyed.”
“We all know the song, sung to the cheers of the unthinking throngs who would give up their very humanity for the promise of a free lunch. These are the joys of cultural Marxism.”
From “The Drumbeat” on cultural Marxism. http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/the_drumbeat.html
An incredible piece and a short 5 minute read. Pretty much explains the media and the Obama loons, Read it then get the link to as many places as you can.

Factcheck: Palin does not answer answer questions for the press or has not done interviews. Answer: False-she met with Charles Gibson of ABC and answered reporters questions, and has also met with Fox’s Sean Hannity to answer questions as well as appeared on the cover of 4 magazines. The difference in access is Obama pays for his press by buying ads at 3 to 1 so the press are in his pocket on the other hand the press makes money off Palin for her popularity as McCain campaign does not buy as many ads so it does not pay for the press to be positive about Palin. It’s simply the $$$ that count for them.

Senator Joe Biden was spinning folksy one-liners with CBS News anchor Katie Couric the other night when he offered this pearl of wisdom about how real leaders act during times of national crisis.
“When the stock market crashed (in 1929), Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’ ”
It was a great sound bite except for two things – Herbert Hoover, not Roosevelt, was president at the time, and commercial television didn’t exist.
The good news for Biden was that hardly anyone noticed the historical error. The bad news? The blunder was overlooked only because the Democratic vice presidential candidate was busy doing damage control Tuesday over two bigger gaffes that have landed him in Barack Obama’s doghouse.
After weeks of being overshadowed in the U.S. media by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Obama’s running mate is suddenly making headline news for all the wrong reasons. First, he blasted his own campaign for running a “terrible” ad that claimed Republican presidential candidate John McCain did not know how to operate a computer or send email.
Then video surfaced of Biden telling an environmentalist voter in coal-rich Ohio – a vital battleground state – that there would be “no coal plants here in America” in an Obama administration.
McCain’s campaign made political hay out of both comments, using them to underscore Republican claims Obama is waging a dirty campaign and to cast him as out-of-touch with working-class voters in the American heartland.
“Barack Obama and Joe Biden must really think they can win this election without Ohio, because they’re doing their best to lose it with stupid comments like these,” Bob Bennett, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, said in a statement. “Keep talking, Joe.”
National Post
Biden is a real fool.

So Palin will speak to foreign leaders but not American journalist? Sounds a lot like bush/cheney. Brilliant, a third term for bush!

Name calling? Mudslinging?..we are hearing all the wrong things. We need to hear what “each” of these “vetted” professionals has to say, what they will do…not just promise. And I would like to hear from “each” why they feel they deserve our vote. America is a great country…let’s keep it that way.

Mccain 13 car, He dont know the number of house he have.
the press could not cover sarah palin.
Mccain is now a bodyguard to sarah palin.
Mccain will soon become Obama bodyguard.

Maybe the reason she is being kept from the media distorts every single story they write about her. The headline on ABC video says “hairdresser dishes” on her. You would think she said something bad but she says just the opposite but unless you open it and read it, you get the wrong opinion. Just ONE example. McCain/Palin all the way!!!!!!!

This is exactly the role McSame will ask Palin to play if GOD FORBID they win. “Right you pretty bab go and entertain these foreign leaders and leave and don’t say anything till me and other macho men come to do real business”.
This is VP role for Bab Palin.

The press’ behavior has been deplorable. I wouldn’t give them the time of day. All they intend to do is fluff pieces on Obama and Biden while they make up stuff against Palin. Obama has substantial connections to radical groups, but it is guilt by association. However, any possible connection with McCain is News. Give me a break News whores!

“they make up stuff against Palin”
You, of course, have all kinds of LINKS and PROOFS that indisputably show that the stuff is made up, right?
Good luck looking, dimwit. Show us how smart you aren’t.
That’s all cons have, screechy whiny ‘snot-fair spittle-flecked complaints that have no basis in truth.
That’s all they EVER had.

Simple solution, which of course news won’t follow, Boycott them, don’t give them the free photo op, free ad air time, no print, that will loosen their lips to sink their ship !!!!
One tune Palin and tone deaf McCain I don’t understand what people see in them, just like all habitual liars they repeat the same lies or can’t keep the story straight. Ugh !! Hasn’t this country been through enough with the current greedy, incompetent deceitful group???

By keeping Palin from the media McCain is saying “She IS a lightweight. She CANNOT handle the pressure. She is NOT qualified to be Vice Pres. She was picked as a PURE pander to the right wing who pull the strings in the McCain campaign.”

“Obama has substantial connections to radical groups, but it is guilt by association. However, any possible connection with McCain is News. Give me a break News whores!”
They know they won’t get a fair shake from the Obama tabloid media, so why bother. Why do they need to speak with her when they can just as easily make up their own stories based on rumors? On the otherhand you have Obama that lied about his ties to Rezko and Ayers and he gets a free pass and is celebrated. Bizarro world.

They took Palin on a field trip today to meet nine heads of state and Bono. When she was done she became a bona fide expert on foreign policy. When you add this experience to the experience she gained looking out of her window to one of the Russian islands, she is now ready to lead the free world. Isn’t that special?
On the way home they took her to the store and bought her balloons and candy.

Ok guys enough is enough Palin is being covered up. She can’t perform at all and she does not trust the fellow American to see what she doing. They have covered good numbers of things.

What a side show! The beauty queen crams so that she can answer the question with “I want world peace!” What a farce. Of course McCain does’t want the press to ask her embarrassing questions about her couple of hours crash course faking real experience!! Pathetic.

Who would have thought that Palin/McCain use communist tactics to avoid the media.

Scared? You’re an idiot. You sound like you’re twelve. Go f*ck yourself!

Now McCain is trying to get out of the Debate, why? It is not country first it is because Obama took a 10 point lead in the polls and he wants to stop the flow. Running scared….. Keep her from opening her mouth and then try to stop the debates :) what a joke they are.

Americans:
Once again you shame the nation with your bickering and murmuring. When will you stand up to respect the nation. It does not matter if the president elect be Obama or McCain or their counterparts VP’s Biden or Palin.
The point is, the world is viewing how we respect our nation and those in who God placed in position in authority- again, it does not matter if it is Obama or McCain. You have shamed this nation with your mockery and disresepcted again our nation and make us look like we hate our nation. I am thankful that the media did not cover half the things that they wanted. It would have embarrassed our country even more and the world will even hates us greater. So let’s stand together and fight against disrepect and dishonor and put out words that show that we are in unity and support who ever comes to office- Obama or McCain.
Be an American and support and stop the bickering and murmuring so that this Nation can remain a superhero nation and not allow dictators to continue and mock us anymore.
True American
