Palin Gets the Full Philly Treatment: “Hey Hockey Mom — Keep the Puck out of PA”

That was mean but Palin should have been on TV spinning for McCain rather than at a debate party in Philadelphia.

these obamacons are so nasty and hateful … it’s like who would want to be one of them??? … attacking someone verbally outside of a bar really makes their Obama look good??!!!!
McCain-Palin ’08

Jake,
Sounds like she handled the crowds fine. Thanks for letting us know what she was up to last evening.
I am one of those who is nervously awaitng the vp debate. But I admit to being mystified by Palin’s less than surefooted performances in her interviews with Gibson and Couric. I have now had the opportunity to see video of some past interviews she did on CSpan (and I’ve seen her on CNBC). Have you seen them? She’s everything I want her to be in an interview– personable, articulate, intelligent, well-versed on the issues, comfortable, prepared. What has happened to Gov. Palin? I hope that gifted speaker is the one who shows up for the debate.
And Concerned, thanks for the bracelet joke. I thought that was downright childish of Obama and not terribly effective, esp. when he stumbled over the name of the person who gave it to him, almost as if he had to struggle to remember. And yet, none of the commentators I saw last night on CNN or FOX or ABC (I REFUSE to even peak at MSNBC) picked up on it. They were busy assuring me that Obama had been the calm, confident one who came across better, while I kept scratching my head and saying, “Did you hear the bracelet exchange? Did you notice how often he interrupted McCain? Did you notice that he refused to give McCain the common courtesy of addressing him by his title, familiarly calling him “John” while McCain consistently spoke to “Sen. Obama”? ARe you sure we were watching the same debate?” But what else was I expecting? Someday I’ll learn.

Must be a slooo news day.

I have no comments to make about Sarah palin, I will leave it up to the conservatives to deal with her the same way they dealt with Harriet Miers when they understood she was not up to the task.

I didn’t realize there were that many cluless people in Philly! Palin has shown nothing but stupidity and these people still hold on!!

McSame/Failin
Love that……………

Biden watched the debate Friday night and appeared on tv afterwards to support his presidential running partner.
Palin was in a freakin bar and didn’t even have the courtesy to support McCain’s debate results.
Is is that McCain and Palin don’t get along? After all, they both do oppose each other on certain issues.
A vice president that doesn’t support her president’s actions? Yeah, that will really be good for us Americans if they get in office.

Why would she talk to the press? She tried with Gibson and Coreick and was trashed. Let’s see if she is a “pit-bull with lipstick” with Biden. In Philly when you don’t work you can go to the rallies and protest. Maybe she should have invited them in for a drink.
In Texas we respect women…we will listen to what she has to say and make our decision.

Palin will be about as useless to the American people as she is to her running mate. Drink up!!

Palin may remember the name on the bracelet, but she won’t remember the issues because she doesn’t know what they are.

So you would rather have a guy as VP who doesn’t now who the president was during the depression and tells people the president came on TV and made an announcement when the stock market fell…….TV wasn’t invented for decades. That is who you want to be a heartbeat from the presidency? NOT ME.

Sarah Palin’s usefulness to the GOP has apparently ended. If she does not show the American people on Thursday that she knows her stuff and is ready to lead this great nation, McCain and his campaign will be tossing her under the next bus headed for Alaska. Mark my words!

Joan
I would like my VP to come out of the bushes when things get tough. Not run from the issues. Make a stand and stand by it. right or wrong. Tell me where Palin stands… oh yea, she’ll get back with us in writing…Need to write her off da ticket – straight joke and embarrassment to the country

Now that Palin has made it official that her position on Sen. Ted Veco Stevens is “thanks, but no comment,”
it is time for a new Palin watch. “If you should become President would you nominate fresh, reform minded Supreme Court Justices like Harriet Miers?”

I don’t hate Palin personally, I don’t know her. I hate everything she represents:
1) Hypocrisy – accountability and transparency except when she is asked to answer to charges, then everyone is a no show
2) Sexism – let’s pick a woman but make sure that she is attractive and silent for the most part – or better yet not intellegent enough to question our agenda
3) Religious Fanatasicm – she holds governmental prayer meetings, attends a church that preaches about witchcraft and anti-semitism, and talks about Iraq as “God’s War”
We have been fighting this narrow mindedness for centuries. Whether you like it or not there is a seperation between church and state for a reason – because historically the two DO NOT rule well together!

Every poll shows that Johnny McSame lost last night’s debate by 20 points or more. And, some conservative commentators are crawling out of the woodwork to call for Palin’s resignation from the G.O.P. ticket. This call being made even before she debates Sen. Joe Biden. doesn’t bode well for the G.O.P. ticket, even though we know she’ll look like a complete airhead during the debate. The G.O.P. reminds me of the Tidy Bowl man as he gets suck down into the toilet. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Sandra said “Palin should have been on TV spinning for McCain rather than at a debate party in Philadelphia.” Since when does the head of the Palin-McCain ticket need to spin for the old Geezer who is head of her fan club?

God I miss Philly! I have been living in Florida for three years and am totally bored.

I love Philly. A few years ago a friend took me down to see the gum trees on South St. Jake, you know what I’m talking about.

Why did palin not come out last night and support mccain on the media like biden did her blowing off the media is like her saying we the people are not good enough to hear from her well OBAMA BLEW MCCAIN AWAY IN THE DEBATE HE WAS GREAT cant wait for the palin/biden debate you think obama did a landslide last night wait until biden gets done with I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY HOUSE HAHAHAH OBAMA/BIDEN08

ricky
Your right hate the lie but you should still hold the liar accountable. Protesting is a way to do that, plus it is protected by the 1st amendment in the constitution.

Some ask why should she talk to the press? Maybe because she is running for the second highest position in the country? Why is she running away from the press? One debate won’t let us know if she is ready or not, and she needs to be ready. Weather people like it or not the more she runs away the more they will ripe apart every word she says because there not much out there for the press to report on, and the last time I checked she was a big thing. She got the base up and going, and now all we get are two or three interviews? Why was she picked then if not to support McCain in all events including showing her face on TV once the debate is over? Who cares about what Rudy G. says or thinks, last time I checked he wasn’t running as McCain number two? So why are we hearing from him and not her? Your losing my vote with everyday that goes by Mr.McCain…

cs provided a link to back up the claim that “McCain Camp insiders say Palin “clueless.” I did not follow it.
They are a just bunch of paid lobbyists.

Obama thugs are intolerant and act like mobs. They are a disgrace to decent Americans everywhere. So much for the city of brotherly and sisterly love, more like brotherly and sisterly hate.

If McCain is smart, he either dumps Palin before the vice-presidential debate or finds a way to cancel it. There’s no way Palin is up to the challenge.
I don’t like Joe Biden, but as an independent supporting Obama, I hope McCain keeps Palin on the ticket and that the debate goes on.
I’ll enjoy seeing that unqualified, uninformed, self-satisfied nut go down in flames.

ricky
It’s funny … The Democrats were either going to nominate a woman or an African-American and somehow the Democrats are people of intolerance. It took the Republicans over 30 years to pick a female VP (that was way less qualified then Ferraro at the time when she was nominated).
Republicans screwed it up with deregulation. They didn’t realize that some regulations are there for a reason. The first rule of economics is that in the market people will act on self interest. If you legalize stealing, well guess what.

JKIR said “Obama thugs are intolerant and act like mobs. They are a disgrace to decent Americans everywhere. So much for the city of brotherly and sisterly love, more like brotherly and sisterly hate.” If JKIR was a ball player he wouldn’t last half an inning if traded to Philly.

Oh, please! Biden had his Hillary moment when he said his helicopter had to make an emergency landing in a war zone, when they only had to land because of weather.
When Hillary made the same slip about her visit to Bosnia, the misogynist, liberal media was all over this story for a month, hammering her constantly. With Biden, hardly a peep…
Why do women not have equal rights in this country! and why does nobody seem to care!

Why do people who support Obama act like they are in a trance. College educated people are more likely to get caught up in a CULT.

Rex
McCain insulted the American people with his VP pick. Now the people are using their 1st amendment right to show their anger.

ricky
I’m sorry I demean them. I thought I was demeaning the pitbull in lipstick. I’ve never met a hockey mom, and I’m sure there nice people.
Proof:
Hockey Mom = Football Dad + XX chromosomes
Therefore
Football Dad = Pitbull
XX chromosomes = lipstick
How’s that for equal rights.

lol, wow… there has ALWAYS been people who use their “first amendment” rights like this. it just so happens, that this is by far, the most crucial election in our lifetimes so therefore, there will be more of this sort of things. especially from the underdgo democrats. they tend to activate like this more than republicns. nothing new.

It is better not to display a political yard sign and let people think you are not interested in the election than to display a McCain/Palin sign and let them think you are an idiot :)
Any more of those Palin interviews before the debate?

If you truly are an undecided voter and haven’t seen Bill Moyer’s interview of Andrew Bacevich, you owe it to yourself and to your family to see this interview, and perhaps read Bacevich’s book, before you vote….
Bill Moyers is a leftist commentator. He has nothing to do with news and in no way could be called a journalist or reporter. He only invites people on that support his views. I put him in the same group as Hannity, Olbermann and Maddow. I always take whatever this group says with a grain of salt, because it’s biased to start off with. CSPAN is only real place to get just what was said and nothing more added.

It is absolutely frightening to think that there are some Americans out there who wouldn’t mind having a ‘green’ Sarah Falin as their VP, in these highly complex and challenging domestic and foreign worlds.
No doubt that these are some of the same people who helped elect and re-elect the INCOMPETENT and wild bush to practically bring American economy, military, etc to their knees!
No foreign power has ever harmed America the way that bush-McCaint have harmed America with their lack of intelligence, incompetence and lack of vision and judgment.
Sarah Falin would merely complete the destruction of things America.

Tim
Are you making up stuff. I never said or wrote that. You guys and put whatever signs you want in your yard. You must be talking about a different MM.

roxanne…
you can keep talking about mccains “poosr” performance all you want. he could suffer a heart attack in the next debate, and i still wont vote for obama. so keep talking.

Sarah Palin has been total disappointment. She has been kept away from News Media, only recently giving a very few and interviews were total disaster comments by her. Even with her intense studying since she was selected as Vice President she has not managed to grasp good substantive knowledge. Sarah Palin is presently under legislative investigation for abuse of power as Governor of Alaska. Alaska is presently under FBI investigation for political corruption – 11 Republican politicians indicted to date. FBI has been doing since 2004 long before Sarah Palin became governor. I have followed since she was chosen. My research, court transcripts of divorce trial, government/agency documents reveal damaging evidence she did indeed abuse her power as Governor. Sarah Palin is an alarming and shock factor!! No way is she qualified, somewhat knowledgeable now, or honest.

tim
I am not spinning anything. I pointing out the fact you challenge someone base on a word that has been used for decades and maybe even centuries. I have made mistakes before and have admitted it, why can’t you admit that what you did was at least incorrect if not wrong.

Check out that Sarah Palin interview with Katie Couric!

I wonder if Palin has a bracelet too?
Posted by: Concerned in OH
I wonder if she has a brain! All we hear from her are stump speeches. Does she have any independent thoughts? Maybe she can get that crazy pastor to pray for one!

This substantiates how really low class Barack Obama and his supporters are. That said, both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton said that Obama was not ready to be President,and he proved it last night with his sorry performance in the debate. The pro-Obama media can try to spin it differently, but it will not work for the American people.

Obama Gestapo tactics at work in Philly.
Obama Gestapo tactics in Missouri threatening to arrest anyone you says an “untruth” about him.

Hmmp…B.Hussein Obama…has some liberal whiners in PA, huh…You think Republicans have time to send people to picket Biden? Get a life people! Sour grapes for Obama. The Dem’s need to listen to their former president and his first Lady, Bill & Hillary Clinton. Common…leave her alone…let the final election poll decide the administration. The Dem’s must be REALLY desperate and afraid of Sarah Palin to put on such a pathetic display. Anyway it was good to see MCCain mop the floor with Obama in the debate. That smile was a clear look of confidence. McCain is no slouch in a debate. No nervousness there at all. What did one person say,”You don’t score points on defence, friend. You got to go on the offense to win the game”. Go MCCain, Go Palin…the future president and vice president of the U.S.
JMO…for now…
:-)

Ask yourself…
If Obama had selected a running mate with the same education and experience as Palin, how do you think many Republicans would have responded?
My guess.. they would have called Obama an incompetent fool. I can just hear Rush, Bill O., Ann and Sean. They would be telling us that this is proof the radical liberals have lost their minds and should be sectioned.
The fact is…. McCain is telling America that Sarah Palin is the best available Republican ready to step in as President. That, my friends, makes John McCain look like a complete idiot.
It is your vote, folks. If you think either McCain or Palin can do a better job than Bush and Cheney… go for it.

roxanne…
ok. lets just say mccain did get “whipped” (whatever that means) last night. what does that change for you?
Posted by: tim
It doesn’t change anything but it does confirm what the rest of us have known for sometime now. McCain is an angry, old man with no clue about how to move this country forward.

if Palin can’t handle a bar in Philly hows she going to deal with Putin?

tim
I like McCain as a person. Not how he runs his campaign though. I didn’t like that couldn’t look Obama in the eye when he was attacking him. I don’t like he supports the Iraq war, I don’t like he likes deregulation. I disagree with his voting record on Vet Benefits, and that he has surrounded himself with Federal Lobbyist. Specifically Rick Davis.

Palin seems quite capable of handling boorish behavior. Her position on this bailout fiasco will be of great interest to conservatives. Many Democrats are pushing for the bailout. Not all are buying it but Frank, Pelosi and Reed seem quite sold on the idea of giving billions to wealth financiers.

what is so hard for you liberals oto understand about this?! let me try to make this as simple as i can for you people. ok, im a conservative. not a right wing nut, evangevical nut job, but a fairly strong conservative. i dont really like john mccain. or alot of the republicans. so, what is it about barack obama that should entice me to vote for him exactly? he has the most liberal voting record in the senate, (when he actually voted) and plays the party line more than lindsay lohan. again, im not saying that i like mccain and alot of the republicans, but i cant STAND obamas policies and about 90 percent of the democrats ideas regarding the role of government. so why do you liberals find it amazing that we are going to give up on our values as conservatives and just vote for the “new guy”?! because he is young? because he speaks well? because he “energizes” the youth vote? you liberals just act like eveyone who wants “change” should vote obama. and its just not that simple. there are too many fundamental differences between people like him and conservatives. thats where the dems made a huge mistake. why they didnt offer someone more of a centrist, ill nevr know. it would have been a landslide.

Could someone tell me how does dropping bombs on villages, killing people who you can’t even see, qualifies you as a hero.
Is it because you got cought and weren’t killed for it?–and blah blah blah infinitum
Obviously someone who’s never served one day in the military and probably has disdain for it. It wasn’t McCain’s decision to drop bombs, like it isn’t a soldier or sailor or marine or airman who decides they want to kill people. Those decisions are made by our policy makers and others who are appointed above us, we carry them out to the best of our abilities. All whoever served and all currently in uniform are heros as far as I’m concerned. You think sacrifice means a bad review or drop in the polls, but what about the men and women who’ve sacrificed their very lives just so a leftist like you can’t rant away. Give at least a little thanks to the military.

Palin must go! She has brought down the cause for intelligent women EVERYWHERE!
Send her back to skin a moose!

Wow no love in the the city of brotherly love. Sarah “bewitched” Pailin is going to zap somebody with her mystical powers. I thought I saw her nose twinkle.

well, im not sure if more people agree with obama on the issues or not. i would have to say not because its a dead heat, so that pretty much debunks your claim. and i believe that obama is a GREAT politician. he knows what to say and who to say it to. he knows, because of mistakes made by both parties, the country is in danger. so, he is already one up just because he is new and his party is not in office right now. he is a socialist. i dont like socialism. i like the free market. i like capitalism. thats the bottom line. im saying that some of what he says dosent SOUND good, but i dont see things at face value like liberals do. there is ALOT more than meets the eye with a guy like obama, and there are different types of “dangerous”.

im not here to support any canidate. if i could vote who i think would actually “change” america for the better, it would be ron paul. but, since we live in a media and special interest controlled nation, that is not an option. im here simply to disagree with barack obama and to try to voice my opinion why he would be worse for the country than john mccain. pretty simple really. they are both clowns, just so happens obama has a better outfit.

Good information from the Tax Policy Center. McCain’s proposals are MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE and give less to most families making under $250,000. After all, the Reagan Revolution was about taking from the middle class to finance tax cuts for the rich.
Both John McCain and Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next ten years, according to a newly updated analysis by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. Compared to current law, TPC estimates the Obama plan would cut taxes by $2.9 trillion from 2009-2018. McCain would reduce taxes by nearly $4.2 trillion.
Obama would give larger tax cuts to low- and moderate-income households and pay some of the cost by raising taxes on high-income taxpayers.
In contrast, McCain would cut taxes across the board and give the biggest cuts to the highest-income households.

I would have voted for Ron Paul too…
But that cant happen so it Obama that gets my vote this time!

Senator McCain had home field advantage last Night FOREIGN POLICY. If it is a tie and count that for a win for Obama. It was a tie at worst and I personally feel that Obama smacked McCain around in a diplomatic matter. McCain threw a few punches that looked nice but it was just barfed up stump speech garb.
Frankly McCain has no footing. He tried serveral time to move to the center and try to do some cum-by-ya by touting his flimsy bi-partisan record.
face it OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN THE NEXT 2 DEBATES AND THIS ELECTION.

Government spending …. Who’s fault is that? “Socialist” Clinton has a surplus in spending.
Another thing Trickle down economics is the problem. Because The rich don’t spend as much as the poor and that leads to less money being pulled in by the government. So the pain of the lower classes trickled up via bad loans in the mortgage crisis. The Wall Streets banks didn’t have any money and now that there can’t be any loans. Small and large businesses are about to take a hit.

wow. first off, did i say regulation is a bad thing? of course not, because its necesarry. but just because there are changes that need to be made, that dosent mean im automatically going to hand everything over to the government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i do know what socialism is. in a nutshell, its when the government is in charge of things. im not here to debate on wheter socialism is a good thing or not, im just telling you that barack obama says he wants government control and oversight on more issues than any other presidential nominee in out history. this isnt made up, these are his words. so tell me, what makes you trust the government so much? tell me one issue that they have handled properly and effectively that gives you so much trust in them? thats the issue.

Healthcare – Obama is not socializing it, despite the misconception. Under his plan people can (not forced) purchase the government plan. There is no take over of Insurance companies – (That is socialist).
Regulation – Obama proposed closing tax loopholes also regulating the market so that they will not give bad loans (Subprime Mortgages) – which nobody disagrees with
- Cap and trade CO2 emissions (brings revenue to the government) keeps the enviroment cleaner and pushes for cleaner technology.
This is just a few.

Davis
What was up with McCain’s lip licking that was just weird!
obama talked directly to mccain..
Mccain couldnt even look at obam.
My mom always said guilty people and lairs can’t look you in the eye.

Did you folk see NC is now in play for Obama ?
Obama could win more than 300 E C votes

Obama supporters sound as immature as Obama himself. Obama comes across as a spoiled selfish and he makes my skin crowl. His ego is out of control and he is apparently believes everything he hears from the ABSleeze and the other mainstream media. He is a legend in his own mind!

Obama seems to be leading Virginia. I would like Obama win Florida. If Obama wins Florida McCain loses period. But the only poll that matters is the one on November 4.

MM you obviously don’t know your history. Just look at past elections if you don’t believe it. You really must think that everyone will love Obama and he’ll do a bang up job leading the country. As a citizen I sure hope he does, but remember that if things go wrong during his administration he’ll get blamed for that too. Politics is a two edged sword.

Obama is promising anything to anybody to get a vote, and it is disgusting. I make the example of his no Nuclear Power position prior to the debate, and during the debate he plays that he doesn’t really have a problem with Nuclear Power. Well Obama….are you FOR or AGAINST ….Nuclear Power???? Obama is a Typical TWO FACED politician, with no real experience, and a bunch of talk that doesn’t work in the real world.

I don’t care for Sarah Palin, a member of the wackiest sect of Christianity. But there is NO excuse for the way she was treated in Philadelphia, one of America’s highest-crime cities.
They need to clean up their own mess, and then think about treating people with a little respect, even if they disagree with someone’s politics.
Sarah Palin is an absolutely absurd choice for V.P., but she is still a human. The “protest”, as described is disgusting.

Look at the substance of the earmarks and you’ll be titillatingly surprised. Palin still has more earmarks per person in her state. One Obama earmark was for gang violence prevention. I guess that means Obama was wrong for asking for that.

riley
Obama hasn’t called anybody racist. McCain camp sure did scream sexism though. But I guess McCain can release an ad trying to link Obama to a black man he only met for 5 minutes.
The movie “Head of State” did the same with the guy at the gas station. Although the movie was more absurd then real life, Art imitates life.

Thinking about the following characteristics and qualities, please say whether you think each one better described Barack Obama or John McCain during tonight’s debate:
• Was more intelligent: Obama 55%, McCain 30%
• Expressed his views more clearly: Obama 53%, McCain 36%
• Spent more time attacking his opponent: McCain 60%, Obama 23%
• Was more sincere and authentic: Obama 46%, McCain 38%
• Seemed to be the stronger leader: Obama 49%, McCain 43%
• Was more likeable: Obama 61%, McCain 26%
• Was more in touch with the needs and problems of people like you: Obama 62%, McCain 32%

The sad thing is Obama himself encouraged his supporters to be rude and disrespectful. What a shame!

Trashes America
Why didnt John McCain have a flag Pin on ?
Who hates America ??
Palin’s husband wants Alaska to be its own country Palin was a member till she became Govoner.
Yawn…
Middle class folk will take their country back from the lobbyists the pull mccains strings.
Vote Obama
This former Republican is!

If you missed the news this week, you didn’t miss all that much.
The stock market threatened to crash, but didn’t.
John McCain threatened to skip the presidential debate unless members of Congress approved a huge financial bailout, but they didn’t, so he didn’t.
The debate went on; the candidates stayed on message; the pundits all
agreed that it wasn’t a “game-changer.”
You did miss the largest bank failure in American history, not to mention a $25 billion bailout of the auto industry, but that’s chump change these days, right?
You might not have heard that investment banks are now officially extinct, but basically the economy is on the same precipice it was on last week.
What you DID miss was an amazing week of political theater, starring the frenetic, operatic, borderline erratic McCain, the former fighter pilot who seems to have found his calling as a kamikaze politician.
He might not win the election — another thing you missed this week was Barack Obama pulling ahead in the polls — but when it’s over he’s a shoo-in for a show on TNT.
RuPaul doesn’t know drama like McCain knows drama.

Do you all hate Palin because she is beautiful…or just because she has more experience than the top of the democrat ticket?
She is a Governor…like Bush, Clinton, Reagan and Carter. That is real experience. 2 years as a Senator where you vote for nothing of substance, accomplish ZERO, and are proven to be the most liberal Senator in history is not experience. Obama is a disgrace.

Dave
I dont hate Palin I feel sorry for her I think she is in way over her head!
Being McCains running mate is a bad move! She should bow out and people should leave her alone!

Palin Foreign Policy Irish pub talk.
Do you know I help the peace process in Ireland ?We stop for refueling the airplane there
Did you know I can see Russia from my house?
Did you know I said Thanks but not thanks to the bridge to nowhere?
Responsibilities of the Vice- President?
First to be Senator McCain cheerleader, and second if he die I will bomb Russia!
If I am ready to be President?
Of course I will never blink!

She must have just learned the word paramount as she seems to be using it a lot lately.

The Arctic Ice Queen got a
chilly reception in Philly.
Comes with the territory.

McCain said he would not go to the debates until a deal was done on the $700b package!
Was the deal done ??
NO
Did he go to the Debate ?
Yes
When he tells Iran not to do this or else will they believe him ?
NO
McCain blinked said one thing then backed down like a worm!
McCains unfit to lead!

Looks like the pitbull with lipstick has been muzzled. While Biden made the rounds on most networks, Palin was where? Is McCain so distrustful of Palin’s abilities, that he won’t allow her to speak to the press on his behalf. How sexist of McCain to muzzle Palin.

Why are Obama supporters so full of hate? And why do they even bother to protest? No one, who is there, cares. I do not care for Obama, but it would never occur to me to say to myself, hey, Obama is in Philly, I think I will go protest him being there. He has a right to hold a rally, or stop by a bar. Only Dems preach rights, unless you do not agree with them.

What?! Why can’t Gov. Sarah Palin make a appearance in PA? This is America? Why can’t she make a appearance to her supporters. Why are Obama supporters being so unamerican? Why are they trying block Gov. Palin from speaking. Let’s be Civil. This a free country.
This is still America we have a democracy. We all get to vote. Then we tally up the votes. The one with the most votes become President. This haterd and anger trying keep her from speaking only shows fear from the Obama.
Behave civilly. Let Gov Palin speak to her supporters. And she will get to speak to her supports whether the Obama camp wants her to or not. And Obama will speak to his. When the election is over. We all have to live with each other. This blocking her is wrong! All this anger and aggression is wrong! The people get vote.
The People will choose the President. Not the obama Camp. You guys are becoming Thugs. Is that what you want people to think of Obama?

“Sarah “bewitched” Pailin is going to zap somebody with her mystical powers. I thought I saw her nose twinkle.”
So now the Democrats are going after a forty year old sitcom character?
My stars!
I guess you don’t ming Nancy “Esmerelda” Pelosi stirring a cauldron full of pork for the Wall Street hedge fund managers but forgetting which Blackberry is hers.
Oh well. Alabama is up on Georgia right now and some contests are just more important the Barack’s Magic Beans.

Can we now admit the obvious? Sarah Palin is utterly unqualified to be vice president.
She is a feisty, charismatic politician who has done some good things in Alaska. But she has never spent a day thinking about any important national or international issue, and this is a hell of a time to start. The next administration is going to face a set of challenges unlike any in recent memory. There is an ongoing military operation in Iraq that still costs $10 billion a month, a war against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan that is not going well and is not easily fixed. Iran, Russia and Venezuela present tough strategic challenges.
Domestically, the bailout and reform of the financial industry will take years and hundreds of billions of dollars. Health-care costs, unless curtailed, will bankrupt the federal government. Social Security, immigration, collapsing infrastructure and education are all going to get much worse if they are not handled soon.
And the American government is stretched to the limit. Between the Bush tax cuts, homeland-security needs, Iraq, Afghanistan and the bailout, the budget is looking bleak. Plus, within a few years, the retirement of the baby boomers begins with its massive and rising costs (in the trillions).
Obviously these are very serious challenges and constraints. In these times, for John McCain to have chosen this person to be his running mate is fundamentally irresponsible. McCain says that he always puts country first. In this important case, it is simply not true.

“I guess you don’t ming Nancy “Esmerelda” Pelosi stirring a cauldron full of pork for the Wall Street hedge fund managers ”
The enormous profits being made by hedge funds only started during the Bush government. Now we must bailout Wallstreet, else the economy will collapse.
We should thank Phil Gramm and George W. for this fine mess they got us into.

The democratic party has become the party of hate mongers. I find Palin perfectly capable and a lot more entertaining than the blow hard Biden. I am a long time democrat and I want everyone to have a voice.

What are Obama’s qualifications again??

I find Palin perfectly capable and a lot more entertaining
Not perfectly capable but definately entertaining.

As I recall, Pennsylvania Democrats chose Hillary Clinton over Obama.
I would guess that the same voters who are “clinging to their religion and guns” (as Obama put it) will take a closer look at Obama’s stance on guns and religion before they vote.
The few that protested Sarah Palin are undoubtedly paid Obamabots.
With Obama and Biden, we would have two of the three most liberal voting Senators in the United States running a regime occupying the White House.
No matter how Obama supporters spin it, Obama/Biden will not be good for religion or individual gun ownership in this country.
Not good for Pennsylvania or any other state in the Union.
Anybody But Obama/Biden…

Just goes to show, no matter the case, the media will always spin a negative slant on Gov. McCain, reinforcing the fact that they are in bed with Obama. She’s doing everything a VP candidate should do, meet with heads of state, meet with common ordinary people, do interviews, etc, but it doesn’t matter, the media will always show it in a negative light, nitpicking at her every word or gesture. Obama and Biden have never gone through this blatantly biased gauntlet that the media has placed up for Gov. Palin. It’s great to know that whenever the media launches their own blanket negative campaign on a candidate, you can always be assured that the person will be good for America and rather than vote for the “lesser of the two evils”, it would be easier to say “Vote for the candidate the media hates.”

Typical Philly fans. Palin would have received a warm welcome if she was in Pittsburgh. Maybe the Flyers fans are still bitter they lost to the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Pittsburgh for McCain/Palin ’08

“We should thank Phil Gramm and George W. for this fine mess they got us into.”
Nope. Barney Frank stood there and told the world Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were “just fine” when McCain proposed reform. The very people telling you they are saving the republic are the very people who took the biggest handouts from the crooks.
And now they have their bean counter at the top of their ticket.
Palin? Not sophisticated enough? Not educated enough? Not smooth enough?
Doesn’t it occur to you the people who are are the very people who are robbing the national treasury right now?
When common people are too common for the highest office, something very very wrong has happened. Since when did we accept that we are the nation of the Ivy Leaguers?
Take back the government. Say no to the thugs in the expensive suits. Tell them they can take their services back to tjeir bankers in Moscow and Beijing. They love ‘em over there.

“One week from now we’ll sail by and pick up the survivors.”
A USC fan no doubt. Oregon State just a bunch of hick players, right?
This will be the sweetest election season in the last five. People are starting to do the math and read the non-mainstream news sources. They are beginning to understand that the bean counter with a slick speech is just a front dummy for the biggest bunch of rip off artists ever to grace the halls of Congress, and that’s saying a lot.
I think it’s Harry Truman time and you and yours are about to get the shock of your lives. Hope you can get some of those millions back from the mob.

lenny,
I’m a Wolverine.

She’s doing more interviews than Biden, despite the media bias and ridiculous attempts to unfairly judge her.
The Dem robots are stepping up irrelevant comments to shift focus off of the fact that Biden had to be told by Obama to shut his mouth because they can’t even coordinate their lies to match on any given day.
Where does it say that McCain isn’t allowing Gov. Palin to do interviews? What sort of nonsense are you perpetuating with that ridiculous claim?
Why would McCain/Palin give any additional opportunity to be misrepresented by a biased in bed with Obama media?

It’s interesting that we get some reporting on this while many stories at least as relevant if not moreso get no national coverage at all. How about the news from KMOV in Missouri that Obama supporters in government there – St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and the leader of his Missouri campaign, Senator Claire McCaskill – are forming a “truth squad” to sic the law on those putting out “untrue” ads on him? “If they’re not going to tell the truth, somebody’s got to step up and say, ‘That’s not the truth. This is the truth,’” McCullogh told the station. As KMOV put it, “The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.”
And it’s amazing how the media can lie so easily. I’ve seen two articles which claim Palin said in her Gibson interview that Alaska’s proximity to Russia gave her foreign policy experience (Couric claimed the same thing). Check the transcript; she said no such thing. She answered questions about Russia, one of them on the proximity angle. And part of her answer was cut out. Now if you were a reporter interviewing a top politician from Alaska, and you asked about Russia along the lines of it being a threat, wouldn’t the state’s proximity come up first thing? During the Cold War (which so many people have evidently either forgotten or never experienced) the Soviet Union’s proximity to the U.S. due to Alaska was often mentioned. If you’re an Alaskan politician of a certain level, you should be thinking a lot of Russia being just next door. Does our military in that vicinity have Russia on their minds? Of course it does. Just recently Canada felt that Russia was trying to be intimidated and boosted their military alertness. “We are concerned about not just Russia’s claims through the international process, but Russia’s testing of Canadian airspace and other indications … (of) some desire to work outside of the international framework,” said Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Joe Biden was chosen for VP, for his honesty free spirit and his experience!
He’s supposed to make a point when is needed. Sarah Plain was chosen for the position after only one meeting .The decisive factor was only the women’s vote and the prerequisite to be the John McCain cheerleader. She makes only scripted interviews and has very thin Resume. Sarah Plain VP? Thanks but not thanks!

The news here is that someone, ANYONE, was able to get through the multiple layers of McCain campaign aides insulating Palin from everyone but hardcore supporters.
A reasonable person has to ask: what are they hiding?

New Republican slogan should be:
“Vote for the party that the media hates.”

Obama is the one who said you can’t change Washington by simply changing the chairs people sit in. Then he puts a 36-year Washington insider on his ticket.
Now we have a true outsider added to a ticket who is closer to the lives of real Americans than any of the other three on the tickets.
Someone who can represent real people without Washington connections or favors owed to anyone. Paired with a maverick who has the best chance of bringing real change to the way Washington works than anyone else we’ve seen from either party.
The Democrats are using the scare tactic that McCain will suddenly drop dead and Palin will have to take over. Not likely with all we know about how closely Presidents are monitored by their physicians. But it’s the only chance they have of defeating the Republicans.
Bill Clinton said don’t let yourself be influenced because someone is trying to scare you. Smart man, Clinton.

Denise,
The Dems introduced sub-prime loans in 1999, which was bad, and signed off on Phil Gramms economic agenda.
The Repubs introduced leveraging and the derivative market in 2003 through intensive, relentless deregulation.
If you think the Dems are primarily responsible for the problem then you are not as objective about the situation as you would like us to think.
I agree about the 2 party system. The only real solution is a parliamentary government, and we know how likely that is.

Wolverine? Congrats on Wisconsin. Shocking weekend in the top ten. The Tide rolled over Georgia. WHOOP!!
“One more thing, Truman was a Democrat, so what is your point?”
Truman was a haberdasher first, and considered for the ticket only because FDR thought him incapable of being a power player. No one thought him capable of stepping in and FDR knew he was himself, unlikely to make it.
He did it anyway.
You know what you know but you know, you never know, you know? Life’s a long song.

Obama still only has 58% of Hillary Democrats onboard, same as June. That is about 7 million that won’t vote for Obama. Only about 30% of Democrats voted in the primaries. If the trend holds that is about 21 million Democrats that won’t vote for Obama. He can’t even get the Democrats.

Katie Couric and others are knowingly distorting what Palin said when they have the transcript of the interview. The media, who are supposed to be guardians of the truth, should set the record straight rather than running with this distortion for all its worth.

A citizen Vice President what a refreshing idea. Since all foreign decisions are on the latest news coming from a country and experts in the law and relations are going to be presented at briefings, what is the point of knowing the mistakes of the last few presidencies.
USA policies are not respected and everyone agrees most decisions of the past about war were flawed. Then Palin brings into the next presidency an innocent citizens views and not the MSM carpetbaggers paid for thoughts or the bought and paid for Washington politicals. What is not to like about the Govenor Palin? Maybe if she runs the 50 states well, Obama will tell her how to get the other 7 states to like her?
Cheers, rfm

Not only is McCain out of touch but….anybody here that advocates voting for McCain who is a member of the republican party the same party that has screwed up and ruined our great nation is either a paid blogger, delusional or stupid. I could add more but you get the picture.
Why should republicans get rewarded for screwing up America from Iraq to this financial mess? Isn’t that like rewarding CEOs with huge bonuses even when they screw up the company. Sure let’s reward the people that screwed things up. Who’s stupid enought to do that? A fool, idiot, moron, masochist, lobbyist?
