Campaign Says Palin Won’t Make ‘SNL’ Cameo

WOW, Obama’s poll numbers just keep going up!!
Looks like the Debate, McCain’s fake campaign suspension and then messing up the bailout deal in Washington didn’t help McNasty one bit!!!
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html

First, who watches tv, especially a comedy show, with the volume “all the way down,” and still finds the show “hilarious?” Don’t you have to HEAR jokes to laugh at them?? Odd.
Second, why is it that Palin has time for SNL and People magazine, etc., but she only has had time for THREE interviews, and zero time for a single press conference? Isn’t she running for VP of the United States? If she’s purportedly ready to be VP, or even President if necessary, shouldn’t she be able to at least handle a few questions from the press in a standard press conference?
Why is she doing all these entertainment venues, but she can’t even appear after the debates last night to talk to the press? As Letterman so famously said, something doesn’t smell right here.

I hope so! We have not had the chance to see much of her. I hope the McCain camp is saving the best for last!

i think they should have her back on if she drops out to rip on the mainstream media for destroying her. and of course mccain should choose her replacement from http://www.womenwholooklikesarahpalin.com LOL!

We all know he really pissed off Letterman. He
was supposed to go on Letterman the night he
cancelled his campaign. One hour before the
show, he called Letterman to tell him the urgency,
and Letterman, thinking it was patriotic, said
that he understood. Why he didn’t offer the VP as his fill in is still a mystery. Maybe he still doesn’t
want her exposed to the public.
What made matters worse was that McCain was in the same area at the time of the show was being taped with Jane Couric. Now he says that
this was not a time for comedy and I will agree,
but he could have done Letterman a favor by
offering Palin as a substitute even if it had to
be conferenced in via satellite. Newscaster are
all too familiar with that, even sarah who has a
degree in journalism, so she says.

Insane / Palin 2008 ??
Civil War and State Secession
Most of us are painfully aware of our country’s past history and the causes for the Civil War which began in 1860. Social, political, economic and racial issues (including slavery) caused a rift between the South and the North. In short, a group Southern States declared secession from the Union. The Government of the Northern States under the strong leadership of Republican Party President Abraham Lincoln regarded the Sothern States’ attempt to secede as an act of rebellion. And, thus was born the deadliest conflict in the history of the Untied States of America. More than 620,000 soldiers died in the conflict and it is estimated that the death toll was well over 700,000 when considering civilian deaths as well.
Abraham Lincoln was a Wonderful leader who believed in a strong, central Federal Government and did not believe that a State had the right to choose to secede from the Union once they had joined the Union. Furthermore, he believed that slavery was immoral and should not exist within the United States. The Republican values of the 1860′s have certainly changed from the republican values of 2008.
We now have a Vice-Presidential candidate who sympathizes with the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP). And, worse yet, her husband was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP)!
WHO IS THE ALASKAN INDEPENDANCE PARTY (AIP)?
The AIP website openly declares that: “…considering the moral, educational, and economic decay of the U.S., Alaskans’ who hold themselves to a higher standard might very well decide to at least maintain an arm’s length distance from a country in decline.”
The “Ultimate Goal” of the AIP is to become a “Separate and Independent Nation” – Apart from the United States of America!!!
As we already know, Todd Palin was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP). Sarah Palin is sympathetic with the Alaskan Independence Party, has attended AIP conventions and as Governor of Alaska has reached out and embraced the AIP and their membership!!!
SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT PALIN ALLEGANCES
Folks, I have some serious questions about the Palin family and their allegiance to the United States of America. Sarah and Todd (“First Dude”) Palin would **NOT** have the Best Interests of the United States of America as their primary goals. They are super-ultra-right-wing Nut Jobs!!! And, their past actions indicate that they **DO NOT** PLEDGE Allegiance to the United States of America, One Nation, Under God, Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All? They want to literally divide our country by separating Alaska from the rest of the Union and forming a separate country, most likely under some form of dictatorship.
AND SARAH PALIN WANTS TO BE ELECTED VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERCIA???
ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND???
THE RUSSIA/GEORGIA CONFLICT FOR OIL
Let there be no doubt in minds of any Americans. If Alaska attempts to secede from the Union as the Palin’s and the ALASKAN INDEPENDANCE PARTY (AIP) are hoping that they will do, Alaska would fail. And, as we already know, Russia has recently invaded Georgia because of Georgia’s rich oil-fields. If Alaska attempts to secede from the United States of America, it would cause an internal conflict within the United States of America and weaken the our Union internally. Furthermore, Russia could attempt to gain control of the Alaskan oil fields in the same way that Russia recently invaded Georgia.
Honestly, I don’t believe that Sarah and Todd Palin understand the values that make the Untied States of America such a great country. The US Constitution and the US Bill of Rights are what make our country great. We hold those ideas to be self-evident. BUT APPARENTLY THOSE IDEAS ARE **NOT** SELF-EVIDENT TO THE PALIN FAMILY!!! THEY ARE ACTUALLY INSANE ENOUGH TO ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF SECESSION FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
VOTE AGAINST PALIN IN NOVEMBER 2008!

I like a lot of what ClassicalLiberal said above. Palin was clearly not ready to be picked as VP candidate, and McCain’s camp clearly didn’t perform due diligence on her selection (there is no way they would have selected her if they knew her daughter was pregnant out-of-wedlock).
So, now what? Pretend that it’s all good? Go on some puffy SNL skit, while still shirking real news shows? I think think the point is she’s trying to say “hey, i can laugh at myself too.” The problem is that it reinforces the joke rather than defuses it.
There is only one way to look Presidential and that is to act like it. You go and stand up before the media and take your licks and give them back a few and outsmart and outthink them. She’s already wasted a month. I can’t imagine she’ll make the turnaround in just one more.
It was a dumb dumb dumb pick. Just think of what would be going on had he done the right thing and picked Romney (or at least someone more knowledgeable that could be a good surrogate on the campaign trail.)

Why is ABC (in fairness ,most news outlets) ignoring Joe Biden. I think the voter expects fair coverage of both V.P. candidates. You are critical of Sarah Palin not allowing questions (and rightly so) and yet you give her all the media coverage. Joe Biden has made himself totally accessible and yet you show little to no coverage of his events and interviews?? Is the lesson to be learned here that if you ignore the media you will get rewarded with undue coverage? Dont assume all voters outside Washington are familiar with Biden…they arent & it is very presumptious of you to think otherwise.Im sure they would appreciate knowing more so they can make informed decisions. In general, you have provided extremely good coverage but this is a glaring deficiency. Thanks!!

Dee
Palin won’t talk to the media
and you expect them to talk negatively about Biden
just because she is hidden in a corner somewhere not answering questions.
ugh
morons gave us Bush
now morons
argue for McCain.

OBAMA: Well, Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been abused, which is why I suspended any requests for my home state
Obama admitted he was abusing the earmark process!

Evangelicals do not believe in celebrating Halloween. Someone call
her on a lie or celbrating the Devil’s
Day.

You democrats out there … that will be the day when Obama can speak for Henry Kissinger. He mis-quoted Kissinger. He mis-quotes everything. He rambles on and on because he doesn’t speak from experience. I’m sure he thinks what he’s trying to say will be interpreted as earth shattering, but I’m sorry to say, he comes off desperate to prove himself. He’s boring…boring…boring. He reminds me of the guy on the street corner with a soap box preaching that the sky is failing and we have to unite and storm Washington with his concept of fixing the system. How can he fix the system when he can’t deliver the message to the point on how to fix it.

I support Obama, and I don’t like Sarah Palin, but I think that she is a highly intelligent, articulate, and charming woman – you can watch previous debates and interviews in Alaska for proof of that.
The problem is that she was thrown into this campaign at the very last minute and has had so much information crammed into her brain, by Joe Liebermann of all people, that she can’t think straight anymore. I BLAME JOHN McCAIN for what’s happening to her. He would have included her in his campaign many months ago if he was really serious about choosing her as his VP. It was a last minute decision with the sole objective of upstaging Barack Obama.
I feel like he’s been pimping her to the American and International public. I felt so bad for her when the Pakistani president said that he wanted to hug her. How often does a muslim man hit on a (white) woman, she’s clearly just a pretty face to those heavy hitters out there.
Had the McCain campaign given her a chance to become more familiar with Washington politics, and to show her fighting spirit over time, she would be in a stronger position right now.

CNN’s Campbell Brown is right. McCain’s controlling and holding back Palin, and it is obviously sexist for him to do so. I’m sure the woman can hold her own. Let her fly. Let us be the judge of how she does. As Amy Poehler says, McCain needs to grow a pair. What a sexist dimwit he is.

Palin is going to be a disaster in the Thursday debate. I can’t wait to watch!

They took Palin on a field trip two days ago 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.

Davis,
Romney isn’t a conservative either and he’s also a dufus and apparently so are you as far as I can tell.
Good luck.

Maybe they can give Palin a full time job at SNL.

“Palin watched the segment live while on a flight after a campaign event in Carson City, Nev., but said she did not have the audio on during the skit.”
This could be VERY FUNNY!
Palin could go on and repeat her 5 talking points with NO SOUND.
Not only does Creepy Palin ‘watch’ the comedy skit about her WITH THE SOUND OFF, but then she admits her incurious approach to reporters. That makes her creepy and dumb.

No, because they all think she is a wacko backwoods bitch. Which she is. She will NEVER be V.P. of the U.S. and the Republicans have their heads so far up their own asses that they think she is Princess friggin Di. DOWN WITH THE GOP!!!

Poor Obama. He just can’t seem to wrap this thing up.
Lol.
“I have a bracelet too”
THE memorable line of the night. And the memorable moment is when he forgot the name on the bracelet
OUCH.

When she was picked as VP candidate, I thought Palin was smart, but not well informed. I even thought that after the Gibson interview. But after seeing the Couric interview, I think she’s just clueless and apparently not a quick study.
Perhaps the campaign knows what it’s doing by keeping her under wraps. She looks good, but she gets scary every time she’s allowed to speak.

I hope she doesn’t so SNL. If Tina is planning on being there and Sarah does show up, maybe Tina should go. After Tina won her Emmys last week she pleaded with the public that she hoped that “I don’t have to play this lady after November 4th”. I don’t know how good it would be to actually put the two of them together on the same stage :o)

I agree, comedy could be just the ticket for palin. And mccain can advertize Viagra just like bob dole did after he lost. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

We agree with Sharik. OBAMA is our hope for peace. OBAMA for world peace.

Confirmed.
Good Luck.

I think she is going to surprise the Obama fans. You don’t get to be Governor of a State being stupid. You can be a community organizer working for men with mob ties. The mob isn’t that particular.

McCAIN: P.O.W.
PALIN: M.I.A.
OBAMA: P.O.T.U.S.

I think she is going to surprise the Obama fans. You don’t get to be Governor of a State being stupid.

So how do you explain Geedubya being governor of Texas?

Obama had the momentum going into the debates. We’ll have to wait for Monday or Tuesday to see if the debate actually moved any undecideds.
Gallup: Obama up 5

Did Sara Palin’s 14 year old daughter Willow drop out of school along with Bristol?

Davis!
Sarah Palin did very well at the interview! She is just reminding me barrack Obama’s first few months when he was battling against Hillary Clinton!
I am a Democrat and am proud of the Republicans to pick Palin. because she evens of Obama! Obama is NOT better than palin, so we get two now!
It gioves me a good reason why I should vote for Palin!

Obama never cared much for economy before or after the financial crisis – he chose Biden for his foreign experience to match up against the great McCain just to win an election. Obama is a fake.
Posted by: young_voter | Sep 27, 2008 5:50:54 PM
—————————————-
Sure, that’s why Obama passed up a lucrative career to becoming a community organizer helping people that loss jobs due to plant closings.

Why do we have this moron on here again,
historyremembered. Get lost!

I love Sarah Palin!
I hope she will appear tonight!
I can’t wait to watch her!
God bless you Governor Palin!
McCain/Palin 2008!

Obama has less experience in ANYTHING that matters than any of theother three people in this race. And the Democrats have already crowned him their god.
Shows how little Democrats care for real, hardworking people, and suck up to the Hollywood, rock-star mentality.

After watching the debate, I decided to vote for John McCain and I am an independent!
Here is why!
Obama defended his foreign policy differences from McCain and was in favor of meeting with Iranian president! when McCain explained to him why we can not, than
Obama said that even Henry Kissinger said that we should meet with Iranian president Ahmedinejat! and put McCain down!
McCain said that he would have never siad that! Than Obama cut off McCain and insisted that!
After the debate Kissinger released a statement saying he did not say nor think we should meet with Iran at presidential levels! And accused Obama to spin his words!
that was it for me!
Obama will say and tell you anything to get elected!
Now I really do not trust Obama anymore about any issue! Taxes, health care, economy, national security and foregign policy!
OBAMA IS A LIAR!

To Omentum,
Show me something Obama has DONE.

Spinning Kissinger’s words will NOT help Obama!
Give it a two days , you shall see at polls!

Well, OF COURSE Obama has a braclet too! He Copies Everything from McCain & Hillary ! DUH!!!!

Voter,
If you would like to see what Obama has accomplished in his career, try this link and them come back and tell us what you have learned.
http://tpzoo.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/obamas-senate-accomplishments/

Rezko is going to squeal like a pig on Monday and tell us lots about Obama. I can hardly wait. The thug is going to go down.

At least Rezko’s trial can commence.
How about the Troopergate trial.
The ole GOP once again show the obstructionists that they are.
congrats on being part of a gutter party

To OBAMA IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT,
Can you be specific on the legality of the issue?
Did he have a REAL Birth certificate?
Was he born in Hawaii?
Is he a Kenyan citizen?
I know his mother is an Amrican. But that does not make him a US citizen if he is born out of a foreign/citizen w/out documentation.

OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT OF UNITED OF AMERICA very, very soon.
For those of you that can’t believe it, live on.
He is Christian, not Muslim.
My question is: why do people hate Muslims? Is it because they are labeled terrorists? Was Timothy McVay a Muslim? He did kill over 100 people in Oklahoma City. That was a terrorist attack. But he was Christian, I was told. So, that makes all Christians terrorists.
What about the serial killers who attack crowds of people in schools, colleges, malls, restaurants. They are mostly Christans. So there, all Christians are terrorists. And they live here in the U.S.
Do you guys get my point?
Get smart and vote for the best candidate in your opinion, and not because he/she is supposed to be affiliated with “terrorist” religion.
Common sense will carry this country along way.
P.S. Although I will not vote for Palin’s ticket, she deserves respect.

Gov. Palin may surprise a lot of people at the vice presidential debate and do quite well, but I wish she would act more vice presidential and give more candid interviews to the media about the issues instead of declining invitations to speak. I wanted to see her give post-comments after the presidential debate Friday night like Sen. Biden did. I want to see her on Meet the Press, Face the Nation, The NewsHour on PBS and shows of this genre. The more she appears on television to give her views on the issues, the more the electorate will take her seriously. She can do the SNL thing closer to the presidential election, but as for now she has a lot of leg work to do with American voters. She’s a contender for Vice President of the United States, not vice president of a student council. That’s some weighty stuff.

Thats funny. She watched it but did not have the sound turned on. Right. Reminded me of Clinton. “I did not inhale”

eric
please quickly tell me what does elitist mean…. quickly

Boy, are these libs going to be very disappointed come election day. If you think that this country is dumb enough to put a black empty suit in the White house then I’ve got a bridge to sell ya.

I am a hard core democrat– but I cannot bring myself to vote for Obama for one reason; Palin. Palin is the real deal! She is a born leader and thoughtful stateswoman with the very best qualities of Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan, but with none of their flaws. Everyone knows that there is a good chance that McCain, with his age and health history, may not survive his first term. With that in mind, the voters of America have the privilege to position Palin to assume the oval office within the next four years!!!. This articulate, once-in-a-generation, political genius has the undeniable ability to save not just the United States from economic stagnation, political disunity, and social disorder–but she is perhaps the only person on this planet who can save the WORLD from its own peril and doom. People, I urge you–wake up and do your research. Put Palin First!!!!!!

C_U_N_T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s what’s going to happen if Obama gets into office: mayhem, revolt, depression, death, destruction.
Here’s what’s going to happen when Palin takes over the reigns from an ailing McCain: prosperity, unity, peace, tranquility, life.
It’s your choice.
But the choice is clear: PUT PALIN FIRST!!!

“The complete meltdown by the left after the McCain/Palin victory is going to be fun to watch. Can’t Wait!!”
The complete meltdown of our country won’t be so fun to watch :(

PEOPLE! WAKE UP! PAY ATTENTION!
PALIN IS THE ONE!
SHE WILL LEAD US TO THE PROMISED LAND!
SHE WILL DRY EVERY TEAR, HEAL EVERY SICKNESS, AND BRING PEACE AND PROSPERITY UPON THE LAND!
BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP HER. BE THANKFUL.
SHE IS HERE. AMEN

Columnist Kathleen Writes Parker:
“Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood. Cut the verbiage and there’s not much content there. Here’s but one example of many from her interview with Hannity: “Well, there is a danger in allowing some obsessive partisanship to get into the issue that we’re talking about today. And that’s something that John McCain, too, his track record, proving that he can work both sides of the aisle, he can surpass the partisanship that must be surpassed to deal with an issue like this.”
When Couric pointed to polls showing that the financial crisis had boosted Obama’s numbers, Palin blustered wordily: “I’m not looking at poll numbers. What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at track records and see who’s more apt to be talking about solutions and wishing for and hoping for solutions for some opportunity to change, and who’s actually done it?”
If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself.”
Parker suggests that Palin could bow out for “personal reasons,” such as to care for her infant son: “No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.”
Parker wasn’t the only national Review writer to call for a shake-up in the McCain campaign. Kathryn Jean Lopez wrote that Palin is not coming off at her best in interviews, and notes that in keeping Palin on a tight media leash the campaign is potentially hurting the ticket more:

yeahwell– take the blinders off and acknowledge the Divine Revelation that is PALIN. HAIL PALIN! HAIL PALIN!
She will save your soul!
PUT PALIN FIRST!!!

SARAH PALIN SPELLED BACKWARDS IS:
NILAP HARAS
think about it, and then. . .
PRAISE HER NAME!
amen

Doesn’t matter if she does or not. I won’t be watching that waste of air waves for any reason. SNL has been irrelevant for twenty years.

WHY should GOV Palin go on SNL – just to boost their ratings – when they have trashed her?????
GOV Palin is a very qualified woman – back off and let her do her job.
My God – the media twists her every word yet Biden messes up – Daily and its OK!
Give her a chance – every time she says a word the media is quick to trash her.
I will VOTE for McCian/Palin over the FRAUD Obama anyday!

All you stupid libs saying she shouldn’t go on SNL because we don’t need a star president. Hint: she’s the VP candidate. Your current top of the ticket candidate is nothing but a pop star. And if I’m not mistaken, your hero Billy C went on SNL and played his sax with the groovy Wayfarer shades. So spare me your sanctimonious bs you stupid losers. Oh, and if you’re so enlightened and the electorate is so ignorant, maybe it’s YOU who is out of step with the reality in America.

The reason Palin watched SNL without hearing a word of it…she couldn’t figure out how the volume control worked.
She connects incomplete sentences and disconnected thoughts into incomprehensible jibberish.
Just what you expect from a college freshman who never went to class trying to cram for finals…
“Uh, the square root of the element Rhodium. You know, it’s in Africa, or used to be, which is why we cut taxes and increase our security from the country across the border from New Mexico. I visited both of those countries, didn’t even need a passport to one of them so we need more troops….cool!”
Some of the G.O.P. would like her to bail with the excuse she needs to be there for her family, or something like that because she’s such an embarrassment. Hahahaha! Hallelujah!!!

Republicans can tell all of Hollywood and TV types, including the media, to take a long walk on a short pier. They’re not worthy to shine their shoes. John and Sarah will keep their dignity.

why can’t you DEMS see PALIN for what SHE IS! A HOLY INCARNATION! SHE WILL SAVE THE PLANET FROM RUIN. SHE WILL SAVE MANKIND FROM DAMNATION.
PRAISE THE NAME OF PALIN!
WORSHIP HER!
amen

nothing more mindless than a school of liberals.
you understand that Utopia for you is munching grass on the plain waiting for slaughter that you could not prevent if you wanted.
pathetic

TOO BAD SARAH COULDN’T MAKE IT.
TINA FEY ISN’T HALF AS FUNNY AS THE REAL THING.

Yo PTN!: When you’ve been in the business as long as Joe Biden through millions of rubber chicken dinners you expect a few gaffs.
But Palin? They hide her away because she can’t get out of the gate without gaffs.
It’s just that non-answers don’t make the bar and exchanging children’s names with an oogling state leader doesn’t make her competent to discuss real issues. It’s hilarious.
Maybe she’ll pull out because of a “calling” to hook up with her Kenyan witch hunter Rev. Muthee…Hahahaha!
Hallelujah!

I saw those polls too!
WTF?

Huffington Post had them a while ago, then took them down.
What’s happening!????
I thought Obama was ahead earlier!????
These polls are driving me crazy!
AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH…….

I saw those polls on Yahoo.
They can’t be true!
I refuse to believe it!

Davis said: “HEY REPUBLICANS!! Can you give us your take on the Palin interview on CBS with Katie Couric ?”
Sure…as soon as you have an open discussion about the moronic crap Joe Biden has been saying on the trail. Oh, but wait, they don’t talk about THAT in the left-wing blogs you get your news from.
NOTHING Palin said in the Couric interview is a quarter as moronic as Joe “I bet I have a higher I.Q. than you” Biden looking directly at a man in a wheelchair and asking him to stand up so the crowd can see him. Or how about seeing “President” FDR on television in 1929? What about his constantly changing support/criticism of coal? What about “The next President of the United States, Barack America”?
Face it, Biden is proving himself to be every bit of a babbling idiot that Obama is. Nice ticket you guys have…

Nice try with the false RCP poll claims. Why don’t you poseurs go to RCP’s site directly to see what the real numbers are: RealClearPolitics.com

You mean these polls? From RCP? These polls?
National Gallup Tracking Obama 49, McCain 44 Obama +5
National Rasmussen Tracking Obama 50, McCain 44 Obama +6
National Hotline/FD Tracking Obama 48, McCain 43 Obama +5

OOOPS!!!
FAKE POLL NUMBERS FOR McFAKE FAKERS!!!
MORE LYING IS JUST WHAT REPUBS SHOULD DO.
McCAIN = LAUGHINGSTOCK
PALIN = LAUGHINGSTOCK

Yeah, McSkeletor and the Alaskan Lemming are quite the superior ticket. Let’s team up a senile crotchety old man with Barbi’s cousin. What a joke! Great leadership potential there, McCain. Quite the wise decision picking Ms. “I can see Russia from my backyard.” Yeah, that’s going to increase America’s standing in the world. Wake up McPalinites! America needs true wisdom and vision as only Obama/Biden can bring to office. We don’t need someone trapped in yesteryear with a narrow-minded and contemptuous nature or someone who needs prayers against witchcraft.

Don’t forget to watch the sinking of the Titantic this Thursday.

Can’t wait until the VP debates. I recommend preparing yourself for Palin’s insane responses with the Sarah Palin Quote Generator
http://palinquotes.awardspace.com/

I am frustrated!! I think McCain is the right choice for this country right now for a variety of reasons; but I am puzzled with Sarah Palin. I agree with the poster who said that she is actually very intelligent and a good speaker- she kicked butt during her debates in AK. What is going on? I do think that they are “helping” her prepare for these interviews. The more she tries to give “their answers” as opposed to her own, she gets flustered and can’t seem to put it all together. Look, THE REASON McCain picked her was because she will sniff out corruption in government and work hard to rid of it, and probably will be very good at it. I think all of the BS about McCain dying in office is craziness. What if Obama dies? Who do we have then? Biden? He would be just as embarrassing as Palin. Okay, who is third in line? Pelosi. GOD HELP US!! Let’s face it, Obama should have picked Hillary and McCain should have picked Romney and then we could all sleep well at night.

Yessss Mike!
‘Ol Joe oughta smoke McMoose Jerky.
Look close, could she pass for Britney Spears’ first cousin? Whatcha think??

Bubba….Conservatives are not worried, you are. That’s why the libs always bring up the the thought that she has no intelligence. You never hear the libs bring up the fact that their V.P. candidate has major issues of intelligence, I’ll take Gov. Palin any day over your 1929 TV appearance Binden. Now, Buchanan is a good American, but he’s the one everybody should worry about. By the way, don’t tell me you watch MSNBC, LMAO. I’d rather you watch other channel’s if you want bias, because that station will rot your brain with duh, dumbdumb, uh uh.

I’ve come to Hannitize you all!

This section is dedicated to the downfall of our economy and McCain’s guilt by association. Be sure to notice that out of those involved in the Keating Five, JOHN McCAIN is the only one STILL IN OFFICE. It may seem a little familiar to today’s crisis. (Note that the word familiar is fami(ly) and liar combined.)

Tax Reform Act of 1986
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_crisis#Tax_Reform_Act_of_1986
The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act (signed by Reagan), a United States federal financial statute law passed in 1980, gave the Federal Reserve greater control over non-member banks. Its main purpose was to force all banks to abide by the Fed’s rules. It also allowed banks to merge. Its secondary purpose was to allow credit unions and savings and loans to offer checkable deposits. The law also removed the power of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors under the Glass-Steagall Act and Regulation Q to set the interest rates of savings accounts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Reform_Act_of_1986
By enacting 26 U.S.C. § 469 (relating to limitations on deductions for passive activity losses and limitations on passive activity credits) to remove many tax shelters, especially for real estate investments, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 significantly decreased the value of many such investments which had been held more for their tax-advantaged status than for their inherent profitability. This contributed to the end of the real estate boom of the early to mid ’80s and facilitated the Savings and Loan crisis. Prior to 1986, much real estate investment was done by passive investors. It was common for syndicates of investors to pool their resources in order to invest in property, commercial or residential. They would then hire management companies to run the operation. TRA 86 reduced the value of these investments by limiting the extent to which losses associated with them could be deducted from the investor’s gross income. This, in turn, encouraged the holders of loss-generating properties to try and unload them, which contributed further to the problem of sinking real estate values. This turmoil and repositioning in real estate markets was caused not by changes in market conditions.
Deregulation (McCain called himself the “deregulator.”)
Although the deregulation of S&Ls gave them many of the capabilities of banks, it did not bring them under the same regulations as banks, and the new legislation allowed them to enter new lending businesses with very little oversight. Thrifts could choose to be under either a state or a federal charter. Immediately after deregulation of the federally chartered thrifts, the state-chartered thrifts rushed to become federally chartered, because of the advantages associated with a federal charter. In response, states (notably, California and Texas) changed their regulations so they would be similar to the federal regulations. States changed their regulations because state regulators were paid by the thrifts they regulated, and they didn’t want to lose that money.
Lincoln Savings and Loan
The Lincoln Savings led to the Keating Five political scandal, in which five U.S. senators were implicated in an influence-peddling scheme. It was named for Charles Keating, who headed Lincoln Savings and made $300,000 as political contributions to them in the 1980s. Three of those senators – Alan Cranston (D-CA), Don Riegle (D-MI), and Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ) – found their political careers cut short as a result. Two others – John Glenn (D-OH) and John McCain (R-AZ) – were rebuked by the Senate Ethics Committee for exercising “poor judgment” for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating.
Silverado Savings and Loan
Silverado Savings and Loan collapsed in 1988, costing taxpayers $1.3 billion. Neil Bush, son of then Vice President of the United States George H. W. Bush, was Director of Silverado at the time. Neil Bush was accused of giving himself a loan from Silverado, but he denied all wrongdoing.
The US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated Silverado’s failure and determined that Neil Bush had engaged in numerous “breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest.” Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement, the Washington Post reported.
As a director of a failing thrift, Bush voted to approve $100 million in what were ultimately bad loans to two of his business partners. And in voting for the loans, he failed to inform fellow board members at Silverado Savings & Loan that the loan applicants were his business partners.
Neil Bush paid a $50,000 fine and was banned from banking activities for his role in taking down Silverado, which cost taxpayers $1.3 billion. A Resolution Trust Corporation Suit against Bush and other officers of Silverado was settled in 1991 for $26.5 million.
A Republican fundraiser set up a fund to help defer costs Neil incurred in his S&L dealings.
These worthless Repukes are the sole reason why our country falls apart. They can not manage our economy.

I know McCain is the right choice. I looked deep into his eyes and saw three letters: P-O-T-A-T-O-E.

Hannitized – You have brought up a good point. The libs are worried What if she does kick butt at this debate with Biden? I don’t see him looking like anything but the fool that he is, anyway. If she debates like she did in Alaska, holy crap!! Everyone will forget about these bumbling interviews. I hope she hasn’t lost all confidence.

Bridge to nowhere, Obama’s tax increases, choose among the many.
To paraphrase Hitler in Mein Kampf: If you tell a big enough lie often enough, people will believe because they’d never imagine you’d try.
McDesperados do things like that and distract you with a sort of beauty queen. Maybe Palin is really a queeny Karl Rove.

It is all over for Palin and McCain.Im not going to wach the Palin Biden debate, it will be so bad.

I’ve got cool glasses too and a hot first dude hubby!

You BETTER watch me debate! Just turn the volume off though. I will mesmerize you all with my hot librarian looks.. no prayers will work against my Palincraft powers. muahahahaha!

Well my fellow Americans, doody calls. Putin is rearing his gigantic floating head over Alaskan airspace. I must exercise my vast foreign policy skills and nuke the evil empire NOW! No time to talk! His stinkin’ corpse will be at our feet soon! Time to scramble the nuclear dog sleds! God Bless America!

HAVE YOU SEEN MY GOVERNOR?
Join the FREE SARAH PALIN Campaign!
Sarah Palin is being held hostage! we must fight for animal rights! AND LIPSTICK!

Look you guys. Vote for who you want. But Palin said she watched the sketch, it was hilarious and ‘spot on.’ Then we find out she had the volums down. It was a sophisticated put down against Tina Fey and SNL. Done without seeming nasty or vindictive. Palin didn’t offer a true compliment, nor a defensive answer. She basically put down Tina Fey and SNL by saying the thing was brilliant… too funny… then adding, she wasn’t listening. The volume was down.
Look, the media’s lacerating this woman. Americans know it. They’re all in the tank for Obama anyway: TV and newspapers. Obama… now THAT’S someone we need disclosure on! We know he’s a radical, a Socialist, deals with anti-white racists.
Hell, he even called middle class Americans bitter and clingy, holding onto their guns and religion, afraid of other people, other cultures. America is popular – so popular, we have people from many cultures trying to get IN – not the other way around! So he’s very racist and a radical to boot.
It’s true that a Governor does have more business and budget experience than a Senator. (Senators talk, raise money and negotiate.)
Those of who read the political blogs know that Obama is a phony jive talkin’ race hustler who wants to take down America.
Henry Kissinger’s slap down of Obama after the debate was BEAUTIFUL. Obama, who thinks he knows it all gets caughtas the moron that he is. LOL
Anyway, Sarah Palin’s remained pleasant with the press, even cooperative. Let’s see where this goes. She didn’t get elected Governor of Alaska by being an airhead. She accomplished major statewide political reform on her rise to the top. The McCain camp needs to let her answer more on her own, away from a memorized platform. Her resume shows she handled government reform, a claim Obama makes but is a lie. He helped Chicago’s Stroger family stay in power, when party reformers were asking Obama to help clean up local politics. Guess what Obama did. He ignored the reformers, helped the Strogers stay in power and he’s been protected ever since. Sort of like an episode of The Sopranos, huh? That’s why we don’t want him winning and we do want him to get the hell out of Dodge. He’s dangerous and runs with a bad crowd of radicals and close associates.
As far as Palin, the interviewers and their editors need to stop splicing the answers to jump and skip and make the guest look bad. We’re smart enough to see that happening. (You do know that’s how reality TV is done.. The editors create story lines by editing dialogue and characters.) The media’s been doing this while treating Palin like garbage, all to help Obama. It’s disingenuous, and we WILL remember when we’re in the voting booth.

This is from an email)
Hi Pals,
I’M AGAINST THE $85,000,000,000.00 BAILOUT OF AIG!
Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a
“WE DESERVE IT DIVIDEND.”
To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion; that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
“WE DESERVE IT DIVIDEND.”
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would YOU do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
- PAY OFF YOUR MORTGAGE housing crisis solved.
- REPAY COLLEGE LOANS what a great boost to new grads!
- PUT AWAY MONEY FOR COLLEGE it’ll be there.
- SAVE IN A BANK create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
- BUY A NEW CAR create jobs.
- INVEST IN THE MARKET capital drives growth.
- PAY FOR YOUR PARENTS’ MEDICAL INSURANCE health care improves.
- ENABLE DEADBEAT DADS TO COME CLEAN or else!
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+, including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it, instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.
If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG liquidate it!
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
HERE’S MY RATIONALE: WE DESERVE IT AND AIG DOESN’T.
Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.”
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party?
HOW DO YOU SPELL “ECONOMIC BOOM?”
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion “WE DESERVE IT DIVIDEND” more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .
And remember, the Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh… I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
Kindest personal regards,
Birk

I love how the McFanatics are taking the “McCain is right” sound bite out of context to somehow support McCain as being the right choice. Nice grade school tactic. Sure, McCain is right when it comes to identifying some of the major problems confronting America, such as his own party’s messing up of the economy, but as Obama went on to describe, McCain is dead wrong when it comes to what the solutions are. Pretty pathetic, especially when McCain likes to talk so much about reaching across party lines. He betrays this rhetoric by mocking Obama for acknowledging common ground. That’s no surprise though, McCain is notorious for treating people with different views as the enemy. He couldn’t even look Obama in the eye. Instead, he treated a fellow senator with utter disdain and contempt. That’s not the type of attitude or demeanor that should be projected by someone aspiring to be the next president.

Reality Check: with all due respect you sound like you don’t anything about the mortgage crisis. It was legislation and sloppy changes designed to allow POOR PEOPLE the chance to BUY homes and live beyond their means. Skipped payments led to foreclosures… and the current mess. You can’t blame Republicans for this.
And McCain has lost conservative support over the years for WORKING WITH DEMS. He’s truly reached across the aisle many times and has the legislation to prove it. Obama votes hard left, when he bothers to vote other than ‘present.’ As they say, you’re entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.
Obama is #2 on the list of those who received money from Fannie-Freddie. Yes, #2 !! This is the same guy who glued his name to McCain’s reform bill, but cut and run when it came time to run his own presidential campaign. Barack Obama: never the same answer two days in a row. Can you say hypocrite??

The number one reason why to not vote for republicans is. They can never admit mistakes, screw ups, blunders, f..k ups that they have made.
Logic ditates a problem must be acknowledged before it can be corrected. There is no problem to correct otherwise which is just how republicans think.

– People have hated Palin since she was announced as VP. So it’s no surprise then you’re all gleeful at her supposed faults and mistakes. –
Hate her? I’d hardly say that.. perhaps more afraid of her due to lack of any real experience for the position, combined with the obvious lack of judgement by McCain for picking her. Please, do give a list of reasons why she was the best VP running mate.. and ‘energetic’, ‘fresh’ and ‘down-to-earth’ do not count.

– with all due respect you sound like you don’t anything about the mortgage crisis. It was legislation and sloppy changes designed to allow POOR PEOPLE the chance to BUY homes and live beyond their means. –
Not quite.. the bill was designed to remove discrimination, not to allow poor people to buy homes. I’m in real estate, and I’ve seen it all. Banks were handing out loans on overvalued homes to all classes, not just the poor, and doing so in a reckless fashion across the board (homes overvalued from true market price, 100% loan to value, little or no background or credit checks, etc..). If you seriously believe that the mortgage industry is in dire straits due to low income housing, then you are living in a world far removed from reality.

McCain camp took a look ar Palin in March 2008 first.
They should have preparred her on foreign policy a bit!
She reminds me the first couple debates of Barrack Obama last year at the primaries!
Palin will get used to be a much better speeker!
Her approval rate is high, She is doing something good in Alaska!
Stop bashing Palin!

Palin doesn’t have to go on SNL for the country to laugh at her. She’s “funny”
enough the way it is. Just thinking she has half the brains needed to help run this country is hilarious. God help us if McGeezer and this broad get elected.

Check out CNN and MSNBC, for what wasn’t talked about at the Debate.

The Palin Interview with Katie reminded me of just about EVERY interview by Obama…reptetitive and filled with talking points. Its called gaff avoidance and so far she leads BIDEN 0-5 for the week. When anyone has to measure EVERY word the tone MUST be less than spontaneous. I chuckle at the sheeple who repeat media-spin about Palin as if it has any significance. I watched the debate and now read the spin. It is incredible how Obamas stammering and studdering responses have been so totally overlooked, to be replaced by some supposed lack of use of “middle class”. The new symbol of the Democratic party (an ACORN) aptly shifts the focus from any middle class, to the “racist” community. Obama is a figurehead for the radical Liberal machine. With any luck the fact that he is a squirrel will become evident before the election.

Well, the cool thing about the Human Race, is that we tend to feel Proud, and can help eachother out. So ok I didn’t study too much Baby Talk. But I See past the Stars in peoples eyes. Kind of like having Two-Colored eyes. Allows you to, well…sure Sea/Saw..
You know www for one eye, WWW for the other.
Credit for Everyone,
for missing Paul Newman.

Obamas Troop withdrawal ideas are ‘well’ informed. Soldiers will be missed,and will be honored. But a new general will eventually need to take the lead.

I’d like to know how anyone could still say the meia is un-biased after seeing the “teaser” clips that were released by both ABC and CBS prior to the Palin interviews. I’ve watched both interviews several times and the clips completely misrepresent her performance.

democratoic congress had registered many illegal voters to vote for Obama by giving them no income morgages by ACORN and Fennie Mae!
Obama is a fraud and part of the morgage problem we are in !
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/07/05/obamas-acorn/

ACORN AND OBAMA CONNECTION A FAILED ECONOMY BY THE DEMOCRATS!
BUSH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WATCHIUNG IT!

Democratic congressional black caucus asked Fennie Mae to give morgages to the African Americans without any income to win their vote for Obama!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have a special request from the SNL show! I think that Joe Biden is the biggest joke ever and he will make a great sketch for their show!
I wrote a quick one for Biden.
Ladies & gentlemen!
They can put a guy on a wheel chiar and Biden to ask him to stand up!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Than he can start his talk about invading Pakistan,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA and can go on about FDR and who the president was during deep depression,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Biden thinking that TV was invented in 1920′s!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
The biggest joke sure will be , Hillary the best to be qualified to be the president of the United States and easily can step in to be the VP better than Biden and anyone out there!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL

OBAMA / BIDEN:
THE LEAST QUALIFIED TICKET IN AMERICAN HISTORY:
COMBINED THEY HAVE:
ZERO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE
ZERO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
ZERO MILITARY EXPERIENCE

Don’t you Worry about Biden. He’ll make the rig.. correct choice.
No goof..sounds like golf? I love Golf. Played in school a long time ago.

The left wing media – along with this financial crisis – is probably about to deliver us a President Obama. I certainly hope they live up to their role in this if his administration turns out to be a Carter-like decable.

I wonder if we should send support To Maine. Help reign in any trouble spots.
After all they can’t walk on water, if it gets too deep up their. Time to PULL to’get’her and help out any Individuals, in distress.

Are there people like the poster above called James Madison in life? Talk about having way tooooo much time on your hands.

Obama’s a liar? McCain invented all this drama about going back to washington for the financial crisis and then didn’t even vote. He doesn’t give a damn about anyone but John McCain. I’m with Chris Rock, vote for the guy with one house.

OBAMA – BIDEN = O[s]AMA BI[nla]DEN. Coincidence? I don’t think so. What better way for Al Qaeda to get back at the U.S. than by having one of their own as commander in chief!! Oh yeah, Obama’s been groomed for this job. And choosing Biden as his running mate makes it all the more eerier. Only liberals & democrats could underestimate Al Qaeda and be stupid enough to vote for them. Obamas a MUSLIM!! Always has been, always will be!! And if he’s elected, this country will be in deep sh**, in more ways than one.

Expectations are SO LOW for Palin in the debate that the GOP will declare her the winner if she even manages to find the podium!

Has anyone else ever seen a SNL skit using the exact words of a candidate.
Tina Fey we love you.

I just saw that same poll on CNN!
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
Please stop showing that poll!
It depresses me!
BTW, the KEY poll out of Pennsylvania has the numbers McSame 48 – Obama 45!
They must be lying!

I just saw the new Zogby poll.
It also has McCain up by three.
Zogby is clearly a right wing hack.

Obama can’t afford to lose a single point!
With the Rezko (sp?) dude about to talk to make a deal, Obama needs as much of a lead as he can get.

Oops…I think my last post didn’t get through!
I’ll try again.
The Reliance Campaign poll and the Key polls are only snapshots.
Granted, they reflect what is happening that moment…but we need to focus on daily tracking polls, that average the last three or four days.
Yeah, Barack is slipping back down…but it’s only temporary.

Yes!
I agree with Obama is my man.
You’re depressing us.
I have to see these polls on cable news 24 hours a day, please…not here too!
A little good news if you pleaase.

RE: polls. The Drudge Report has several thousand people email their opinion. That opinion was 2 to 1 in favor of McCain. The only other poll I heard was either CNN or CBS, and they polled 541 people in a studio, who watched the debate, and most were registered Democrats. I have no idea of how that question was posed, but the Drudge poll asked a simple, non skewered question, and it was simply, who do you think won the debate..and you had a simple yes or no button to click…I would be more inclined to think that would be more accurate.
Re: Obama being up in Vermont 15 points….Vermont is a State filled with real Vermonters, and New Faux-Vermonters…people with money who came in from NY, California and other States. The “real” people in Vermont are a lot like the Cutters in Breaking Away…tired of being put down by the new moneyed elitist.. The new moneyed elitist must have been the ones who were polled because I recently took an informal poll, of native Vermonters, and found a great deal of conservative support among them. Guess none of them were polled.

Well said, LB. How about Obama’s “Truth Squads”?!? If anyone needs a truth squad, it’s this lying POS out of Chicago and his mobster friends.
And NO more BusHitler jokes. Obama will oppress you like he is right now in Missouri & Illinois: suing radio stations, threatening television licenses and squashing local dialogue. Barack Obama: Working overtime to deconstruct the Constitution. Vote no to Socialism.

A recent BBC worldwide survey of over 22,000 global citizens found that over 90% said that Barack Obama should be the next President. The whole world can’t be wrong! VOTE OBAMA!!!!
If McBush wins the election and has health problems (he’s 72 years old, had cancer 3 times and is on 6 different meds), this random Palin woman will be President. What is her international experience? “I can see Russia from my house”. YEAH…THAT’S WHO YOU WANT LEADING YOUR COUNTRY (sarcasm). I HOPE AMERICANS WAKE UP! Remember the headline of London’s Daily Mirror newspaper back in 2004 when Americans re-elected Bush: HOW CAN 59 MILLION PEOPLE BE SO DUMB?

Senile Joe Biden thinks Roosevelt was Prez in ’29 and everyone had TVs then! he also said Hillary would have been better – and he’s gonna beat Palin? Does he even know what year this is?
