Palin, Kissinger Split on Talks with Ahmadinejad

Post Turtle
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 ass put her up there to begin with.

Keep it up Katie. Is this the best you can do to get people to watch your show? Pretty pathetic. I would tell you you’re almost as bad as Charlie Gipson, but that wouldn’t be truthful. Unfortunately, you’re not that smart. So here’s the deal, the more you “pick on” Palin, the deeper you dig you’re own grave. Do you really think Perky Katie will ever be able to come back after appearing as a spiteful, vindictive, ankle biter. So, keep it up, I know I’ll never watch you again.

Palin and McCain are right.

As a fellow Texan, I like the words of Mortimer Snerd…..couldn’t say it any better

Sarah Palin is far more credible than Kissinger. She can see Russia!
Seriously, how in the world does someone with absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE of anything become a VP candidate?
I hope people are listening to the rediculous and scary display of McCain’s judgement.

Someone pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease make it stop!!! This woman is a joke–what was McCain smoking when he chose her as his running mate???? The interview with Couric was painful to watch–she is so not ready to be in the public eye! How does she run her state?? Oh yes, I forgot, her husband is the “shadow” governor!

What arrogance and disrepect – I don’t think this woman “foreign policy expert” with her six year bachelor degree in journalism could carry Obama’s briefcase. Who is she to so publicly diss a man who has accomplished much academically and in his career? It shows her insecurity – competent people can disagree intelligently on complex subjects without such disdain. She should just continue to shut up and be thought stupid than to continue to open her mouth and remove all doubt. Go home before you completely embarrass yourself, your state and your family.

AMERICA TRUELY BETTER PRAY THAT SARAH PALIN, OR JOHN McCAIN DOESN’T WIN THIS ELECTION… OR WE ARE DOOMED …

From the latest NYT/CBS poll:
nearly 3 in 4 respondents call it a good idea for the president to meet with leaders of unfriendly countries.
Palin is out of touch with Americans.

Gigi—Point WELL TAKEN!!

“Seriously, how in the world does someone with absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE of anything become a VP candidate?”
By having:
• Executive experience being a change agent as a Governor, fighting corruption and gov’t waste.
• Executive experience with budgeting and running a government.
• Experience with energy issues – we have an energy crisis that is threatening our national security.
• Life experience that has taught her to value the core values that have made America a great nation:
o Free Market/Pro-growth economic policies
o Strong national defense to stand up to evil regimes rather than appease them
o A gov’t that promotes traditional values, in a non-coercive way.

How much Bank scandel actually follows McCain? Well, He was investigated and largely exonerated in a political influence scandal of the 1980s as a member of the ‘Keating Five’. His connection to Rick Davis, who imbezzeled money from Fannie Mae, as early as last Month. And one of McCains sons, who was a bank auditor, mysteriously left his job , two months before the bank went bankrupt. Even another Senator from an earlier speech, connected McCain to the scandel in the 1980′s. The ‘Keats five’. McCain has told us, he has been in contact with the Senate, but even the Senators said, they had not spoken to him. He just heard of the plan two days ago. McCain has lost Touch. Being touched by CORUPTION, must make him feel a little numb. If he can still feel at all.
I have a question, about any other organizations, he may be a part of.
Americans may be curious to know which one. I suggest transparency be implemented. At least that is McCains platform. It still is, Right?
And guess what, about Todd Palin?

Of course, Sarah could not join. But she could speak at a group meeting. She’s a Female. Only Men join this group. Women join the OTHER ONE. :)
Who is Senator Richard Shelby…
Who wants the answers?

Sarah Palin is a Joke unto Herself.
I feel like watching a comedy when I watch the interview.

Kissinger kept communism alive in the Soviet Union about 10 years longer than it should have lasted by supporting payments to the Soviets. Many scholars look at Kissinger as a naive idealist. Now Obama follows the same policies as Kissinger. To say you agree with Kissinger is not flattering at all.

Sarah Palin
The gift that keeps on giving.
Thank You!

If Sarah Palin is so arrogant and thinks she’s such an expert, why isn’t she forcing McCain’s hand to speak out, take dozens of interviews, and meet with the big bad press? Does she really think people look at her credentials and then Obama’s and think she has the constitutional knowledge to go around ridiculing other politicians? This isn’t Wasilla, where you only have to be smarter than a few thousand other people. I am a professional woman with an advanced degree and certification, and I am so ashamed when I see her embarrass all of us. She is the epitome of what I have fought against my whole career – a token female brought in to a situation to be used as a means to an end. Women have struggled for so long to be treated fairly, and recognized for their education and accomplishments. She seems to be the only one who cannot recognize she is being used. Does she have no dignity to be gagged like the crazy grandma and not allowed out in public on her own? At some level, since she goes along with this treatment, even she must acknowledge deep down that she is woefully out of her league.

I was shot when I saw the future vice president in that interview. I don’t know how she mananges to become the gov of Alaska. I say sorry for the republicain party for choosing this imcompetent…She even does not know how to answer to the basics questions, how she can represent this great nation. That is telling now the battle is over. WE will welcome Barack and Biden in the White House in November 4th night

Here are some words for Obama supporters:
Obama’s own words
“Just this past week, we passed out of the US Senate Banking Cmte, which is my Cmte a bill…” on 7/23/2008 The promblem is he is NOT on this Cmte.
It’s just words!
“My father served in WWII, and when he came home, he got the services that he needed.” on 6/28/2008. remark at the NALEO conference in DC. The only probem is that his father NEVER served.
It’s just words!
“I’m NOT favor of SAME sex marriage, but favor civil UNION” in Zaneville, OH on 7/1/2008.
It’s just words!
“Because, you know, it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we’ve traveled to every corner of US. I’ve now been in 57 States, I think one left to go. One left to go, Alaska AND Hawaii I was not allowed to go even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.” at Beaverton, OR on 5/9/2008
It’s just words!
There are MORE, these are just a few highlights.
Now, who is the DUMBASS? What say you Obama supporters?
I’ll take Palin’s comment “I can Russia..” any time. At least, I know it’s ACCURATE!

I dont understand why people hate Sarah Palin. She used to be a hockey mum, which shows she is tough. She’s got over a years experience as a governer, which isnt too bad. Yesterday she met a few foreign leaders, so she now knows about international relations too. In a few weeks why cant she be a heart beat away from total control of our armed forces…oops…okay God help us!

Of all the vp choices McCain had to pick her. I know he was trying to win over the conservatives but omg, couldn’t he find someone smarter. She’s an embarrassment.

Obama experience included:
………..
………..
………..
Now, he is running for the POTUS.
What a JOKE! this one is a real JOKER!
Yes… God help us all.

Sarah Palin employed a lobbyist who also worked for Jack Abramoff to secure $27 million in pork spending for Wasilla – more than $4,000 per resident.
In her two years as governor, requested $453 MILLION in earmarks.
Alaska ranks first in the nation for pork, taking in SEVEN TIMES the national average.

This lady Palin is a disaster. I listened to her interview this evening and the CNN discussions on what she said. This is pathetic! Is she saying that our respected Henry Kissinger does not get it too on meeting with Iranian president as proposed by Obama? Give me a break.People like Sarah Palin one does not need a vice presidential candidate. Joe Biden will mince you.You are simply not ready and a very bad choice.Very unfortunat for MaCain, no wonder she has been avoiding the press. No hiding place for you, and there is no room for mediocres in this computer age.GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08&12

I don’t recall that Kissinger is particularly wise or successful. He was mediocre, at best.
Let’s see him obtain verifiably successful cooperation with A-hole-dine-jihad before we praise him any more.
I’d rather see Palin squeeze that Little Monkey’s peanuts, anyway.

By botching a building project and borrowing heavily. Hiking sales taxes to pay for the mess?
BY breaking ground on a project BEFORE THE LAND WAS actually purchased by the city? that was messy… it cost 1.3 Million to fix
OH YEAH! by keeping the $223 Million for the Bridge to nowere… she really meant “thanks but no thanks for the bridge, but thanks for teh money”
or by “SELLING THAT JET ON EBAY” at a loss of $600,000?
or by asking for TRAVEL REINBURSEMENT for herself, for 312 nights she spent in her own home?

Incidntally, for all of you deep thinkers out there who condemn Palin for lacking sufficient experience to be Vice President, why don’t you have a serious look at the “experience” that your Presidential candidate purports to have. They’re on par, so your arguments are totally asinine.

S Adams….
What has the Bush administration accomplished with its foriegn policies? Nothing! Heck, It can’t get any worse by sitting down with our enemies and at least trying to accomplish something.
Pointing out how much they hate everything western doesn’t make the nuclear threat just go away. Taking the high and mighty road and saying “we don’t owe them” is just BS. Obviously you don’t see our enemies as human. And for that you have already lost the battle of diplomacy. Had Ronald Reagan not sat with Gorbey where would Russia be today? Better off? Nevermind, I just realized that you shouldn’t argue with an Idiot.
I’m all for diplomacy and if that fails you go to step 2. That is simply all that Obama is saying. How is that so hard to understand?

Lets quote Sarah Palin:
“OUR OPPONENTS SAY, AGAIN AND AGAIN, THAT DRILLING WILL NOT SOLVE ALL OF AMERICA’S ENGERGY PROBLEMS – AS IF WE DIDN’T KNOW THAT ALREADY”
“I BEG TO DISAGREE WITH ANY CANDIDATE WHO WOULD SAY WE CAN’T DRILL OUR WAY OUT OF OUR PROBLEMS”
and my favorite:
“we began a nearly $40 BILLION natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independance”
IT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED!!
Wtih federal approval YEARS AWAY, not a single section of teh pipeline has been laid. and thanks to Sarah BRILLIANT negotiation, the State could end up paying the pipeline’s contractor $500 Million EVEN IF IT NEVER BREAKS GROUND ON THE PROJECT.

The women have had enough of being told what to think and what to do! It’s about freakin’ time. Take THAT Hilliary!

Apparently some people posting here don’t like Couric asking reasonable questions of Palin. Pizza Hut can ask a job applicant if they know how to make pizza dough but the press can’t ask a VP candidate how being governor of Alaska qualifies them for the job. Pathetic.

People are so short sighted. Your so fast to attack someone that you show a poor knowledge of our history and how people rise to the top when needed.
I made one trip outside of the USA,I had no formal education, I owned slaves from the age of 11 until my death,I took tincture of opium for a long time, I wanted to avoid war if at all possible but would not be run over by anyone and I am the Father of your Country.

I loved the picture of little sarah kneeling at the feet of Kissinger. That’s what I expected, “poor little girl” overwhelmed by the big bad politicians.
What on earth was McCain thinking or was he thinking at all?

THANK YOU JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Once again you prove you JUDGEMENT is horrendous.
Sarah nor her family will ever be the same.
Alaska now is now in the spotlight and the citizens are up in arms
America is groaning of your decision to make her your vp.
Republicans are feverishly trying to cover your ineptness
Democrats are rejoicing yet confused at your every move.
Suspending your campaign – not good
Ending your campaign – SMART (so I guess that will never happen)
Well see you in Mississippi. Be there or be “you”

ABC — Help!!!
Sarah Palin needs a tutorial in US History. Does anyone recall that during the height of the Cold War with the former USSR, Dr. Kissinger was Secretary of State in the Nixon Administration.
Russia war our archenemy, and providing active military aid to the NVC, and otherwise taking every conceivable position to harm our troops and interests around the world. Pres. Nixon and SS Kissinger continued negotiations with the former USSR, and despite the bad blood, threat of war, MAD, etc., we (the US) still participated in a joint space venture with the Soviets.
Yes. We talk to enemies. Yes. We work on projects together. Yes. We do small things to hopefully use diplomacy to build the goodwill essential to getting something, anything, done in our Nation’s self-interest.
Sarah Palin is so naive, so scripted, so uneducated, that only people as intellectually inferior to her could possibly believe she has any business participating in these discussions. She could not win a high school debate on foreign policy and history. What a pathetic joke she is.
So, I guess if Sen Obama proposed negotiations with Iran, diplomatic sit downs, and even a joint space mission with Iran for peace, he would be only a naive fool according to Palin, despite that this would be a diplomatic play right of out of one of the most successful diplomatic teams (Nixon/Kissinger) in the history of the US. Many mistakes were made, obviously, but nobody can dispute the progress they (Nixon/Kissinger) made viz China, the USSR, SALT, etc. Somehow the name Palin just does not have the gravitas of some of our country’s other major players, Kennedy, Nixon, Kissinger, Truman, Johnson, etc. She is a joke!

What makes you think the Iranians will talk to us? They hate Israel and the U.S. and all they stand for and no Ronald Reagan/ Gorbachov diplomacy will work with them. Iran will not be satified until we and Israel are wiped off the face of the earth.
Britian, France, Germany, U.S. and China have all offered economic benefits if Iran halts their nuclear program. They have gotten massive sanctions placed on them and international isolation and THEY DON”T CARE!!! Even though it is hurting their own people.

Somebody took up for war criminal Kissinger. WOW! Every read or hear “The Trial of Henry Kissinger? It’s worth a read or a look at google video, my friend. The man is wanted for murder and can’t even land in certain countries (like Chile for example) because he was convicted for WAR CRIMES, nice bloke indeed!!!

hmn– It was Operation Condor. Finally someone that makes sense here.

You should not compare Palin with Kissinger, he’s 1000 times wiser and has been through enough to know how to handle these situatios, she just picked up her passport for the first time ever, she is dumb as a bag of rocks, well, that might be a little harsh on the rocks…

This article fails to point out that Kissinger said that to be successful, lower level parties should meet before heads of state. He is essentially saying the same things as Palin. Hillary Clinton debated these same points with Obama, and he then started backtracking.
If Katie Couric is also trying to find a gotha moment with Palin, I am a little surprised and disappointed. Obama, who is running for the top spot, has less experience than Palin. Going to Harvard for two years of law school does not make him a deep brain. There are many deeper brains coming from universities all over this country. Obama is full of himself. Palin is intelligent, educated, has a lot of experience in leading, and she has integrity with a fighting spirit. That is what we need now in facing our huge problems–not someone who is solely interested in his own agenda. Debates can wait, or we can even do without them. We have, so far. Let the lofty rhetoric guy read his soundbites from his teleprompter. Let McCain continue to answer questions on his own two feet at town hall meetings. We see the substance, or lack of it at any venue.
McCain/Palin ’08
Leadership for Change!
Country First!

By the way if John Mc Cain pulls this off in Washington and comes up with an agreement he is a genius. All these guys fighting in Washington to give our money away and no one seems to care. EXCEPT John Mc Cain. Good for him. I hope it works for him. I hope he gets to go to Mississippi too and blow it out of the park.

She is dumb like a fox that is what. Look what she did for Alaska and it didn’t take her long either.

55 miles separate the Alaska and Russian mainland at the point where Alaska’s Seward Peninsula and Russia’s Chukotka Peninsula reach out toward each other.
Palin must have eyes like a hawk. damm

You guys are incredibly naive if you think it is perfectly okay for the U.S. to meet with foreign aggressors without any preconditions. The United States Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice (the expert in foreign affairs) said that the United States would and should never go into a meeting with Iran or North Korea without preconditions or leverage. She is the one who really has foreign policy experience and she stays out of politics when it comes to people campaigning. I’ll believe her and go with what she says. I’ll also go with the number of other countries (including European countries) that refuse to meet aggressors without preconditions.

GIGI, your so naive that you missed the whole point of the post and that being none of us know what someone else will do until an occasion calls for some type of action. Are you some type of fortune teller in that you know what Obama will do under any circumstance?

If Kissinger would talk to that man without preconditions he is wrong just like Obama.

Former U.S. secretaries of state say they support talks with Iran
By Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service
Tags: Iran, United States
Five former U.S. secretaries of state on Monday announced their support for talks with Iran, with all five saying the United States should not wait to launch diplomatic engagements with the Islamic Republic.
The former chief diplomats, Madeleine K. Albright; James A. Baker, III; Warren Christopher; Henry A. Kissinger; and Colin L. Powell issued their support for talks during a roundtable discussion entitled “The Next President: A World of Challenges,” held at Washington D.C.’s George Washington University.

Before we send our elected officials out to discuss the future with some of these leaders of foreign country’s we might make sure we do not allow ourselves to be fooled like the British prior to WW11. By the way you have not forgotten what Iran did when Carter was president.

KATIE COURIC WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE FOR VP … McCAIN THIS ELECTION IS OVER NOW …WATCH THE POLLS AFTER THIS WEEKEND …

why don’t you dial 1-8000-BOMB-CAMBODIA and tell Kissinger

Five former U.S. secretaries of state all agree to meet with, Iran and North Korea. However all of those secretaries of state agree preconditions are needed. The U.S. has been engaged in diplomatic discussions for years with Iran and the U.S. will continue to do so.

PEGGY BUNDY would have been a better choice!
Here’s other better choices:
- Jessica Simpson (she’s from TEXAS!)
- Sarah Jessica Parker (with a name like that, she should be Prez!)
- All three of Hugh Heffner’s girlfriends (I specially like Kendra, she could be our Secretary of Sports!)
- My pet rock
- Madonna’s daughter, Lola
- Hanna Montana
- The Snapple Lady
- Miss South Carolina Teen USA
Some choices that would have been WORSE than Sarah:
- George W Bush

OH … KATIE CURIC WAS TOO HARD ON SARAH PALIN … I’VE NEVER SEEN HER BE THAT ROUGH ON THE MALE CANIDATES SHE INTERVIEWED … THAT’S FUNNY RIGHT?

SELL AIR FORCE ONE ON E-BAY TO BAIL OUT WALL STREET …

Sarah Palin – Needs to jump off the bridge to nowhere. Enough of her all ready. She is a bad nightmare that you can not wake up from. Palin is a joke and you right wing nuts need to stop your madness. American people have had enough of you lying nuts. Do, Say, Lie to get elected, but this year the American people will not be caught up in your traps. If Palin know what is good for her she would not bad mouth Obama because Biden just might not like that and that can spell trouble for you Palin. You all ready sound like a broken recorder that needs to be fixed.

Um… GIGI I’m all for going against someone I don’t agree with no matter their party, gender, age, race, etc. If I think its wrong, I’m going to say so. I think in this one instance Palin has more sense than Kissinger or Obama.

AND let’s not forget the other four FORMER SECRETARY OF STATES and other dead heads of state and Nobel Peace Laureates that at some point believed TALKING and not WAR could resolve our issues, like Rabin and Arafat.

I’d rather have Palin for VP than Obama for President any day. Obama said that “Iran is a tiny country that doesn’t pose a serious threat.” If Iran is not a serious threat then why are so many members of the United Nations posing sanctions and trying to ensure that Iran does not get nuclear weapon capability? How can Iran not be a serious threat to the U.S. when it sends the Iranian Revolutionary Guard into Iraq to kill our soldiers? How can it not be a serious threat when Iran is giving 100 million dollars per year to the terrorist organization Hezbollah? How can Obama not see Iran as a serious threat?
Obama also wants to meet with foreign aggressors without any preconditions! The Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice (THE expert in foreign affairs) says the U.S. would be foolish to enter into negotiations with Iran, North Korea, etc without some leverage and preconditions. That doesn’t mean you don’t meet (we’ve been meeting with these countries for years), bur you handle the situation with caution and like you have a brain in your head!
Palin is inexperienced, but then so is Obama. Yet Obama has made hugely naïve statements, which if he carries through as President would prove dangerous.

Norman were you there? care to make an intellgent collaboration to this debate instead?

Mark,
I am really tired of people who put their parties first.
>>>>>> OBAMA NEVER SAID IRAN WAS TINY<<<<<<<<<<<
Obama, May 18: Strong countries and strong presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela – these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet.

The main point is Obama still wants to meet these people without preconditions. I’m also glad that you are tired of yourself, because you put party first as well.

Mark I resent that
NOT ONCE have I mentioned McCain’s age, and most of the time when I attack Palin, I post teh fact to back it up.
I am tired of the harping on the teleprompter.. reallY TELEPROMPTER? this is your big issue?
I guess you guys didn’t go to teh Republican National Convention, and see the teleprompt tell John and Cindy when to hug.
I don’t mind people using teleprompters. I sure as heck wished your elected president used it. That way our country didn’t look so dumb.

GL: The only racist person on this site is you. Just because we disagree with Obama’s policies does not mean we’re racist.

The main point is Obama still wants to meet these people without preconditions. I’m also glad that you are tired of yourself, because you put party first as well.

no, the main point is that Palin got owned by Katie Couric for talking out of her arse.
I can’t comment on Obama wanting to meet without preconditions because (UNLIKE PALIN) i don’t talk about things I don’t know for a fact.
I am not putting my party first, if so… I’d be here defending a candiate against all intellience, facts and reason.

its good for Palin to have her mind in Foreign Policy– Kissinger or Not.
If Pain had agreed with Kissinger she would have been accused “More of the same”. We now see who agrees with old guard more — Katie Couric.

when asked if she considers former Republican Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to be “naïve” for supporting talks without preconditions, Palin said, “I’ve never heard Henry Kissinger say, ‘Yeah, I’ll meet with these leaders without preconditions being met.’”

you really can’t be serious.

Sorry, forgot to cite sources… these are not my sources, but I’ll use them for veracity’s sake:
Factcheck.org
Actually, construction hasn’t begun on the pipeline, and the project isn’t quite a done deal. Palin signed legislation just last week that authorizes the state to give a license in 90 days to TransCanada to start developing the project. The state also can provide $500 million as seed money. She gets credit for moving the pipeline closer to realization after many years of talks. Palin pushed for legislation that would allow a private company to build the 1,715-mile natural gas pipeline, instead of oil companies, which she said were moving too slowly on the issue.
In an Aug. 27 press release, Palin indicated that there was still work to be done before the project would become a reality:
Palin, press release, Aug. 27: After dreaming of a natural gas pipeline for more than 30 years, Alaskans have now created the framework for the project to advance. This legislation brings us closer than we’ve ever been to building a gas pipeline and finally accessing our gas that has been languishing for so many decades on the North Slope.
POLITIFACT.com
There is no agreement to build, and it’s not $40-billion
But I’m glad you bring it up, because I have now also learned that:
SHE OPPOSED THE PIPELINE IN THE PAST – now I just need to find out WHY she opposed it, maybe she’s got good reasons (LOL! weirder things HAVE happened)

Some election THREE liberal war hawks and one conservative. Hell you ARE better off voting for Nader this time around. Think about it…

hmn
could have should have would have…
what can we do now?
Yes I agree with you, I am concerned however that it is not going to get any better if we continue to let Republicans laugh at us like this.
CLEARLY they cannot be trusted, they’ll defend Sarah Palin against all reason… shoo, THEY VOTED BUSH INTO OUR PRESIDENCY!

What is a post turtle? It is a Turtle who is upside down, and can not move. So you put it on a post, till it falls to its death. Yah, I’ve seen that done before.

People do a search for the “World Challenges” panel hosted held last week, where five former secretaries of state, that’s right, FIVE, Kissinger, Baker, Christopher, Albright and Powell, ALL agreed that the U.S. should talk to Iran. Hell, we talked to Iran to set up the Karzai government in Afghanistan, and we’re talking to them now.

Why are CNN and MSNBC showing clips of the Senators, ‘claiming McCaught with his pants down’, LIED. interesting. does this mean the when they also say, they have not talked to McCain, iin a Week. WOW. Just wait, until the signs go up. Clinton and Rick Davis, seen huggin, ‘McSmoke Another’. I think Shelby may have a change of heart. Russian Planes over Alaska? Gee Palin, tell us more. You daughter is going to have her baby next week. Better tell us Quickly. free Market Terrorists, taited milk in China. I bet since the Deregulations during Clintons term, They may be able to sneak in America. Or Heck, Russia trades with us, in Russia. Maybe they will get us there. Or tainted Bottled Water? What if they have already gotten through the Deregulations on Clintons term. But hey,he is having a fund raiser right now. Maybe Rick Davis and Bill Clinton and McFeint, take pictures for CNN and MSNBC. Russia in Alaska. Who else will ask McGottcha.

Fannie Mae and Frankie Mae starters, Bill Cliton and Rick Davis, have a Blood Diamonds for Morgages, fund raiser. While people in America, are suffering.
Even after passing deregulations, Clinton embraces a chance for one last smile. The way Bill Clinton and Rick Davis, have helped take morgages, from americans, and gave money to Africa.
Stock market helps only Tyoons.

Democrates and Republicans UNITE.
Bush will make a new address to Shelby. Before America, asks Shelby to step down. The Capitolists, are caught by CNN and MSNBC lying to America about ‘McShaking in his Boots’.
Palins Debate with Biden will have new monkey wreches thrown in. Reports say her daughter, may have a secret with-in the next two weeks.
Palins ‘Alaska trades with Russia, because its closer’, remarks. Do Not Air on McFox News.
Caught by CNN and MSNBC
Fannie and Frankie, starters Bill Clinton and Rick Davis, give American morges to Africa, to fund War.
Americans will put up signs asking Bush and Senator Shelby, WHY. ‘McJeepers Creepers’. has KKK in Alabama.
Out of Staters need to go to Debate and ask ‘WHY, did you not stand up for America’.
Manchurian Candidate McTraitor, Will NOT address press about these claims. Only on CNN and MSNBC. O’Reilly, Doesn’t have a clue. Spay paint bed sheets and ask’ WHY BUSH,SHELBY, CLINTON, MCCAIN, did you Lie to America. Tainted milk and Bottled water in Texas from Mccains deregulation.
Palins daughter celabrated babies birthday, with Rick Davis, Clinton, and McCain, early yesterday.
Baby will be reaveled on or before Bidens Debate.
American ask the White House Why!!!
2012 just came early Boys and Girls.
Republican and Democrates are Humans. Unite, and say No to Black Gold and BLOOD DIAMONDS from Africa. Traded for WALL STREET. Not America.
Call Your Senator and ask Why. Because they can.

Kissinger NEVER said he would talk to Iran without preconditions. Palin was right, Couric is wrong. Obama is wrong.

AC: Some Republican critics say, you don’t have the experience to handle a situation like this [Hurricane Gustav]. They’ve in fact said that Governor Palin has more executive experience as mayor of a small town and as governor of a big state like Alaska. What’s your response?
BO: Well, you know, my understanding is that, uh, Governor Palin’s town of Wasilly [sic] has, uh, 50 employees, uh, uh, we’ve got 2500, uh, in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. Uh, uh, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. Uh, so I think that, uh, our ability to manage large systems, uh, and to, uh, execute, uh, I think has been made clear over the last couple of years. Uh, and certainly, in terms of, uh, the legislation that I’ve passed just dealing with this issue post-Katrina, uh, of how we handle emergency management. The fact that, uh, many of my recommendations were adopted and are being put in place, uh, as we speak indicates to extent to which we can provide the kinds of support and good service that the American people expect.
Laughable. Obama: I’m going to completely ignore Palin’s experience as governor because I can’t compete. I know my campaign managers run my campaign, but this is the best I have.
Obama in this one statement you have just said that your best qualification to run for the executive position of President is your ability to run a campaign, the campaign your managers run for you.
As for the rest, I live in Louisiana, so does the majority of my family. Everything I’ve seen put into place were common sense and everyone was recommending them. My six-year old at the time said we needed stronger levees and all of us were wondering at the poor communications between government levels. I’ll also say that a lot of the problems were with the governor of the time. So I’m not buying Obama’s “I’m qualified”

What criteria do we use to measure a vice presidential candidate? ……………

Sarah when it comes to making a deal I will take Henry Kissinger on my side everytime, before I’d let Rice or Palin in the door.

When Pat Buchanan visited Wasilla Palin wore a Buchanan button. She claimed it was just to welcome him. If Ahmadinejad visits USA will she wear a Ahmadinejad button?

NO, no no no no… don’t come in this board ignoring ALL THE REAL CONCERNS, ignoring the true story on top (that Palin is IGNORANT and claims whatever she does not SEE does not exist) and SPIN things around…
acknowledge the posts, yeah… those post that once there as you see, HOURS AND HOURS pass before your short term memory makes you come back to defend Palin!!

The “confirmation” CBS got (which wasn’t from Kissinger himself as they inplied) sounds like it confirms what Palin said about his position.

By Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service

Five former U.S. secretaries of state on Monday announced their support for talks with Iran, with all five saying the United States should not wait to launch diplomatic engagements with the Islamic Republic.
The former chief diplomats, Madeleine K. Albright; James A. Baker, III; Warren Christopher; Henry A. Kissinger; and Colin L. Powell issued their support for talks during a roundtable discussion entitled “The Next President: A World of Challenges,” held at Washington D.C.’s George Washington University.

This woman is in so far over her head she is doing all women a disservice. When she just came on the scene I thought I would support her as a former Hillary girl. Now I hope they find some way of just easing her out. She is a total embarrassment. Even if Obama doesn’t have a lot of experience, at least he can think on his feet and he is intelligent. This woman’s answers are the kind you would expect from a someone who you wouldn’t consider for an executive role on the PTA.

Well, doesn’t this just speak volumes…Dem’s and Libs thought they had the Rep’s beat. Relaxed and comfortable, hardly a peep from them in weeks. Along comes Palin…and they are like a nest of hornets disturbed on a quiet afternoon. Sarah Palin is someone many Americans can relate to, an ordinary person in a hardworking family, facing many of the same problems that the majority of Americans face. She is someone that has enormous executive experience with actual proof of what she has accomplished, with good conservative values and beliefs. (Of course that’s another problem with you lib’s, that she is pro-life…so I ask, what rights do babies have, it’s a sickening shame. God help your soul) What I’d like to know, is when will Obama have to answer detailed questions about his terrorist and racist associations? Or will he just “hmmmm and haaa…uhmmm and ahhh” through it like he does every other question he is asked. How can you libs put your blinders on to the fact that his associations are racists and terrorists…does this not matter to you? Do you care so little about what could become of our Country with Obama supporting these types of peoople? What in the world are you thinking???? It must be you don’t care who the democrat is running for office…you only care that a democat gets into office. That’s smart.
McCain / Palin ’08

Nothing has ever been accomplished without talking about it first. You cannot begin to negotiate if you only want to talk about what you want, and are not willing to listen as well. So, what’s wrong with talking?

Palin is better than Kissinger then.
“Hawkish” Reagan & Thatcher who won the cold war against Russia – not the “naive” Presidents like Carter.
Obama is a traitor who wants to talk to IRAN without preconditions. SHAME!!.
Like it or not, Palin’s position is better for USA in this evil world where there are good and bad people.

SarahM: And may I ask do you have a high position yourself that you can talk against Palin. For your information when Couric was first hired, there were complaints against her and they almost fired her. The problem with the news media they want you to answer the questions the way they think you should answer them. That is not the case. And she is a bad interviewer. She is no Diane Sawyer or Robin Roberts. She needs to take lessons from them.

l: Well calling the kettle black are you talking about Obama. He matches that kettle. The only difference is you can clean the kettle with Brillo but you can’t change Obama. And what high paying job do you have. Are you in the political field? I don’t think so.

mariane pepitone I have been told I should by a lot of people but I am to old thank you just the same

Palin= Puppet. She has no idea what her camp supports. From not being aware of the Bush doctrine to not being able to name another regulation that McCain has supported/developed, she is clueless. It is amazing how people are trying to coddle her and throw the word sexism around. I am female and she is an embarrassment. Why even accept the offer when you have NO clue what you are signing on to?!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am heartbroken… I had respect for you lol!

I SENT THIS LETTER TO MY REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS:
We demand that Congress stops adding earmarks and pork within the contents of the “Bail Out Bill”. In addition we do not want a payout to ACORN — or any organization like ACORN.
We feel this is an egregious abuse of House and the Senate positions in Congress. Enough is enough.
We will no longer continue to vote or support any Representative or Senator who votes for bills with earmarks and pork or allots money to ACORN.
I BELIEVE THE PEOPLE WHO WALKED AWAY WITH TONS OF MONEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAIL OUT.
If the government agrees to pay off mortgages for people who bought homes they could not afford — then the government needs to pay off ALL mortgages for ALL legal American citizens.
I don’t want my tax payments used to pay off somebody else’s home!
I PERSONALLY AM AGAINST A WALL STREET BAILOUT BUT AT LEAST FORKING OVER A THIRD OF THE MONEY — WITH THE REST CONTINGENT ON EFFECTIVENESS — MAKES SENSE.
I AM TOTALLY AGAINST GIVING 10% TO ORGANIZATIONS LIKE “ACORN”. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BUY HOMES THEY CAN’T AFFORD. DO NOT BAIL THEM OUT.
NORTH CAROLINA TAXPAYER
===================================
Barack Hussein Obama is campaigning tomorrow — promoting “himself”.
Why isn’t Obama going back to DC to work on our country’s crisis? If he can’t do his senate job — he surely can’t run this country! — OR maybe that’s above his pay grade!
Country First in 2008.

Henry Kissinger says in this article that he does approve of direct talks with Iran. Below is an excerpt from the article and the Link is here: http://deseretnews.com/article/content/mobile/1,5620,695261802,00.html?printView=true
“One should be prepared to negotiate, and I think we should be prepared to negotiate about Iran,” Kissinger, who brokered the end of the 1973 Yom Kippur war and peace talks with the North Vietnamese, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. Asked whether he meant the U.S. should hold direct talks, Kissinger, 84, responded: “Yes, I think we should.”
VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA AND LETS GET A DEMOCRAT WIN IN NOVEMBER!

Someone on another post wrote:
“What is Palin referring to when she is discussing National security with Russia? She states …”it”s from Alaska we send THOSE out” What in blazes is she talking about? Send WHAT out?….spy planes…polar bears…airial wolf hunting expedition? What?
Alaskans have to be embarrased by this woman.”

Kissinger is on CNN saying that Obama was wrong. You people have it all bungled as usual.

Dan1967, he said he supported talks, but he never said with preconditions, and he never said the President should meet with Iran either. IN fact, he clearly stated it should be at a ‘non presidental level’
Before you try and argue about it, take a look at his response. There is video at CNN and he said McCain is correct.
