Palin Advisor: Tonight is an opportunity

Tonight will be the end of mccain

“I’ve been hearing about his senate speeches since I was like in the second grade,” Palin said of Biden in a recent interview with CBS’ Katie Couric.
____________________________________________________
Like I can’t wait to like hear her like direct answers like to the American people who are like people who like live in America. You know we have people like in Alaska too.

She’s more like New Coke.

There is nothing this psychotic and deluded woman could say that would change my mind about her and her “brand” of politics.She may be “new” to the scene,but her lies and dishonesty are old as the hills!

A writer from The Nation is live-blogging the debate tonight.
I’m trying to pass this around because, if action meets the talk, it looks like a number of conservatives are descending on his blog tonight.
If it helps, he’s going to award Powell’s gift cards for good comments.

All Biden needs to do is give clear, short answers and a few jabs at McCain. Palin should sink herself with answers that go in circles and off point.

Biden’s gaffes don’t cause such a stir because he has 26 years of Street Cred and action on the National Stage. Had McCain picked a better known VP candidate his/her gaffes would also be less relevant to their experience. We wouldn’t be worried about gaffes from Majorie Snowe or Kay Baily Hutchinson. Tonight would be a much different story. Instead of wondering if McCain’s VP can complete a sentence, we would be looking forward to a substantive debate from highly intelligent all the way around.

Sarah Palin needs to “speak directly to the American people with no filter” ? I thought that’s what we’ve been hearing and seeing ! She has no filter. No filter, no substance, no business being on the ticket. Sarah being Sarah is just what we’ve been getting. And we’ve all heard enough.

Kim – He also needs to be able to keep a straight face and not roll his eyes at her answers. A real challange.

Sharon wrote: There is nothing this psychotic and deluded woman could say that would change my mind about her and her “brand” of politics.She may be “new” to the scene,but her lies and dishonesty are old as the hills!
I say ..”Sharon” needs to get help.

Della – By all means don’t vote on the issues.

della
you are funny
go look at the polls
republicans are saying she sucks too.
you know why
because she does.
arguably the worst VP candidate in the history of our nation.

Palin couldn’t handle softball questions from Katie Couric. Enough said.

Poor palin. if this guy is her coach and aviser. here is a bit about him…Randall J Scheunemann is an American lobbyist. He is the President of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, which was created by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), of which he is a board member. He was Trent Lott’s National Security Aide and was an advisor to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Iraq. He is a paid lobbyist for the country of Georgia Ask yourself. what happened to Lot, Rumsfeld and not to forget Randy’s best friend Ahmad Shalabi who gave the Iranian US secrets earlier in the Iraqi conflict

I REMEMBER HOW THE LIBERALS UNDERESTIMATED GW BUSH BUT HE WON BOTH ELECTIONS, AND THEY WILL NEVER GET OVER IT. PALIN WILL SHINE ON HER OWN BECAUSE SHE IS THE REAL MCCOY, AS IS JOHN MCCAIN WHO WAS ALSO UNDERESTIMATED!

I’m interested in observing the dynamics between the two of them. Will Biden hold back debating against a woman because of that crazy idea that he should take it easy on a woman? or will he let it all hang out?
I’m really excited…this is gonna be much more entertaining than the first presidential debate!

If the moderator tonight shows any sign of favoring Obiden in any way, which she does, I would point a finger straight at her face and tell her in no uncertain terms that if it continues down that road I will leave the Stage and Joe can talk to him self for the rest of the night. Remember this moderating moron has a lot to win if Obama slithers in. Her book depends on a Demorat victory to make a lot of money for her self. “OH” on a side note, did you all hear about Oprahs mother refusing to pay a $125,000 credit charge bill at some “chic” botique? Come on Op’ help out your old lady here, you sure gave enough to the Oslima campaign. ugghh !!

“I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying, ‘You know what? It’s time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency”
————————
I think they’re just not used to someone who sounds like they just drank a six pack in the position of Vice President.

I think she does have a very general understanding of issues, but that’s as far as it goes. It seems that she’s unable to vocalize what she does understand and doesn’t know how to dance around tough questions without looking like you have no idea about what the iterviewer is talking about. If she can’t speak intelligently with American journalists, I dont think she’ll be able to handle Biden.

Remember, Sara will do fine tonight if
the debate is done fairly, If not then
you know it’s a setup by the media. If the Ameracan people can’t see that, then
I feel sorry for them.
McCain/Palin 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But she’s so “likeable”: I don’t think she ever had a six pack but I do believe you’ve had a few.

Dawn – the lesbian in Legally Blonde? Whew, you people are real geniuses. Can’t wait to see this tonight. Hope all your neocon bs sustains you through the next month, losers!

Gov. Palin:
Go ballistic and be as sarcastic as humanly possible…
you naughty little barracuda
Good Luck
- TV’s Craig Ferguson

I think Biden’s biggest challenge will be to keep from laughing! I just about died when she was talking when she listed geographical location gave her foreign policy experience, and then again when she couldn’t name a court case besides Roe V Wade or when she said we had the right to privacy (thus confirming the legitimacy of Roe V Wade), and also when she couldn’t name one media source she read but kept saying I read all of them – this woman is hilarious. Case in point, SNL took most of her quotes verbatim and the nation’s been cracking up ever since. Poor Biden -

lori: What menial success can you show for your life, hhmmm?

“I REMEMBER HOW THE LIBERALS UNDERESTIMATED GW BUSH BUT HE WON BOTH ELECTIONS, AND THEY WILL NEVER GET OVER IT.”
And neither will the country!! Turns out they were dead right about him…

it seems as though the thing that the american political candidates and their parties fear the most is a person with INTEGRITY when anyone that posses it enters into the political arena their only defense is to try to drag them down to their level, who cares what party they belong to , INTEGRITY , COURAGE, andCOMMON SENSE trumps experience every time. soccer moms are more likley to have it than lawyers are.

“Remember, Sara will do fine tonight if
the debate is done fairly, If not then
you know it’s a setup by the media.-FriendlyFred
Yeah right!
Just accept it, Sarah Palin isn’t particuarly an interested student of world affairs, if she was she wouldn’t need to do all this cramming, she know most of it already.
The media haven’t set up Palin to fall, Palin’s set up Palin to fall.

Palin doesn’t have to do anything tonight, she just show up beautifully and the whole country will fall in love with her .

Go get ‘em Joe!

When they vote for the $700B “bailout economy plan” tonight, I hope they change the plan to “Bailout USA plan” and add another $1 billion to give to Palin to go away!!
Please congressmen, do something before it is too late!!

Yes tonight is an opportunity for more answers to nowhere

Ross, you sound like a real extremist! And I haven’t an idea where you came up with such an absurd opinion of Palin and how her religious views are going to destroy the world. Get a grip!

Wanda, have you read Project For the New American Century? Have you even heard about it? It’s a blueprint for US global domination drawn up by neo-cons like Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz in 2000. In it, they wrote that the US would need to engage in multiple wars to conquer global resources. They also stated that for this to happen, they would need a ‘pearl harbor type occurrence’, which would facilitate public backing for war. 9/11 occurred 9 mths afterwards.. WE’VE HAD TWO WARS in consequence with more to follow, and Sarah Palin in power is all they need to bring about the rest of the plan to fruition. The countries mentioned for conquest in that book include Iraq, Iran,
North Korea, and China and Russia.
You can find the book in any good bookstore. You’d do well to read it.

Sarah Palin has the opportunity to explain why she believes her resume shows her actual experience in and knowledge of national affairs. Clearly she cannot do this — her resume clearly demonstrates this. A VP’s most important quality is readiness to step into the presidency at a moment’s notice, not to be home-spun, folky or “Main Street,” which are merely political attributes. Sarah Palin is unqualified to be vice president and she can do nothing about that before this election.

You democrats are so afraid of Sarah Palin it’s laugh out loud comedy – she’ll mop the floor with Biden tonight
Go Sarah – McCain/Palin the 2008 winning ticket….YEAH !!!

Ross, recently McCain refused to answer a reporters question about whether he would invite the president of Spain to a WH visit. The reason is that McCain has a grudge against Zapatero so would not. He has a history of snubbing reporters, politicians and world leaders whom he believes have treated him unfairly or even not supported his agendas. This may be acceptable behavior for a maverick senator, but would be disastrous behavior for the leader of the free world.
Ms Palin did say that our invasion of Iraq was part of God’s plan, which is a scary comment coming from one who could conceivably become president.
I don’t think anyone can save the economy, but it seems cleat that the McCain/Palin ticket stands a much greater chance of developing more wars.

Mc Cain should be ashamed of himself for his pick of Sarah Palin she is absolutely one of the worst picks for VP ever. This might turn women voters against him. People are talking about her experience in governing people but her whole state has a lower population than one of the cities (Chicago) in the state in which Obama is an senator of. None of the canidates have experience in te job their trying to get.

I don’t think it can be argued that she brings a lot of experience and trying to defend against that ends up looking a bit obsurd…… but most of us would be hard pressed to clear that hurdle and yet I’m not so sure that most of us could not do a better job in using sound judgement to better serve the American people than those already there with ‘experience’. Burglars have a lot of experience with alarm systems, but I wouldn’t want one installing mine.
IF I were to vote for that ticket it would be on the strength of the overall ticket vs the other. The question in my mind is which ticket will do a ‘better’ job of fending off the nutty notions of the extreme rights and lefts, have the conviction to put the average joe ahead of special interests, and work toward making governement smaller….. Sarah could do fine. She can learn the specific turds as they float to the top of the punch bowl.
There is a lot to be said for experience, but it and of itself does not define qualified or potential for success.

McCain and Couric Spar on Gotcha Journalism
COURIC: Over the weekend, Gov. Palin, you said the U.S. should absolutely launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan to, quote, “stop the terrorists from coming any further in.” Now, that’s almost the exact position that Barack Obama has taken and that you, Sen. McCain, have criticized as something you do not say out loud. So, Gov. Palin, are you two on the same page on this?
MCCAIN: Now, just a minute, Katie. I have to step in here. That’s another example of the media’s “gotcha journalism”…
COURIC: But, it was a question from a citizen. How is a citizen asking a candidate a question an example of what you call “gotcha journalism?”
MCCAIN: Because it was hard, Katie.
We don’t want Gov. Palin to be asked questions, unless she is prepared for them. When she is prepared, as she will be before the debate, she sounds intelligent, knowledgeable and feisty. But when she has not been prepared, she sounds lost and incoherent.
We can’t have people asking her questions before she has had time to be prepared with an answer.
COURIC: But, Sen. McCain, I have to say, you are 72-years old. Actuarial preditions show that if you were to be elected, Gov. Palin would have a 1 in 5 chance of actually becoming President. These are perilous times–unprecedented crises in financial markets, tensions across a wide range of critical foreign policy arenas. Shouldn’t we have a Vice President, and a potential President, who actually understands these issues, beyond the preparation necessary for a debate?
Here is her response to a question on the economy, a critical issue, you would agree, Sen. McCain:

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
PALIN: That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it’s got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

COURIC: That answer, Sen. McCain, as noted by Fareed Zakaria, is incoherent.
MCCAIN: Yes. (nodding his head, smiling).
COURIC: Well, isn’t it actually important that a potential President actually comprehend issues? That is, beyond debate preparation?
MCCAIN: No, Katie. That’s what I mean by “gotcha journalism”. It’s obvious from these prior interviews that Palin has little to no comprehension of fiscal policy and economics. For heaven’s sake, she received a “D” in macroeconomics in college! And, as I’ve said in the past, I have little understanding of economic issues myself.
No, what’s important, Katie, is that she sound like she understands the issues. In the debate. If she is sufficiently prepared, she can give an illusion of understanding the issues–even if she is only giving answers with the prepared and practiced spontaneity and content necessary to give that illusion force.
Given that the bar is set at the lowest standard imaginable, Katie, if she accompanies that performance with sufficient charm, we believe that media will follow, into focusing on the change from that low standard, and on those superficial entertainment values–you know, Katie, (McCain smiles through tight lips and squinting eyes and moves his hands up and down)–”She certainly appears to be more confident tonight; she appears more poised, coherent, humorous”–rather than her readiness to be President from an objective standard. After all, using the more important standard of Presdidential capability, she has already demonstrated that she is unprepared to be President.
So, Katie, we want them to focus on that difference, on her debate preparation, rather than on her actual well-demonstrated Presidential unreadiness. And that’s what I mean by “gotcha journalism.”
KATIE: But if I understand you correctly, Sen. McCain, you actually believe that it’s not important that she understand the issues actually facing the nation…
MCCAIN: Right.(nodding)
COURIC: On which many people’s very jobs, health and life will rely at this critical time…
MCCAIN: Yes.
COURIC: And that all that really matters is creating a standard so low that she actually is rewarded for her widely seen and repeatedly demonstrated lack of knowledge and understanding. That we would be using what is essentially a remedial standard for Presidential capability–rather than one of actual capability.
Sen. McCain, you seem to be actually suggesting that we should decide that she is ready for the Presidency, simply because, after preparation, she has improved. Even though just days earlier, time after time, she was unable to give coherent answers on these subjects.
No one can gain Presidential-level understanding in days. And in the office of the Presidency, with its intense crises and unforseeable events, she will not be prepared for each unpredictable day, as she was for the debate.
Yet you expect media to focus on these values, rather than actual readiness to be President. That’s what you mean by “gotcha journalism”?
MCCAIN: Exactly. And they will. Katie, I would say to the media: Once again–we “gotcha” to lower the bar. We “gotcha” to set expectations far below those actually required for a President. We “gotcha” to focus on characteristics unrelated to Presidential capability, and to ignore her statements on these issues made only days earlier–as if a few days of debate preparation can erase a glaring and dangerous actual lack of knowledge and preparedness. Yes, indeed–we “gotcha”. (smiles).
COURIC: How can you expect the media to fall for that?
MCCAIN: It worked for Bush.

“ce our founding fathers were:
“the most well educated, wealthiest, most elite, most cosmopolitan, and most secular people of their era. These are the people who crafted the constitution you conservatives idolize so much.”
and you prefer to have SOCIALIST MORON to be in the SAME league.
I don’t believe our founding fathers wanted this Nation to become a SOCIALIST/MARXIST nation.”
Yeah…part of that might be because the theory of Marxism wasn’t generated until after the era of the founding fathers.
If you think Obama is a “socialist”, you are truly ignorant of history or even what the term socialism means. It’s not surprising to me then that you would embrace an ignorant yokel like Sarah Palin who is incapable of naming Supreme Court cases or newspapers.
Speaking of socialism, your beloved John McCain is a huge backer of the current bailout bill, which is basically giving the federal government unprecedented authority in the national economy. Obama and McCain actually don’t differ much in this regard, so if you’re really so terrified of the dreaded “socialism” perhaps you should go vote for Bob Barr.

Bill Maher had a brilliant quote on his Daily Show appearance that went something like this:
“There ARE two Americas. On one hand we have a progressive secular European nation that we’d like to live in, but it can’t be born fully because it’s being strangled by this other, stupid redneck nation.”
This is exactly correct. There are two Americas. One America is about progressive social and economic policies and an educated and enlightened view of the world, and the other America is about idiocy, ignorance, religious extremism, hatred, guns, and stone age economics.
Sometimes I think the USA should just split into two separate nations officially, so the rest of us don’t have to be told what to do by a bunch of red state hicks.
Sarah Palin is a disgrace on the entire country. It’s like a joke. It almost seems like a parody, but terrifyingly, it’s real.
Honestly, if all of my family didn’t live here and if I didn’t want to work in the movie industry, I would move to Canada, Britain, New Zealand, or Australia without hesitation. The widespread ignorance in this country is depressing.

Barack Obama is ‘aloof’ says British ambassador to US
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/3125120/Barack-Obama-is-aloof-says-British-ambassador-to-US.html

Reading this blog has made me happier than I have been in months. It just confirms what I suspected…that Americans are still smart, savvy, well educated and discerning. We deserve to have smart people governing and in positions of power. Let’s get Bush out, move Palin back to Alaska and get back to serious business. We have a great country to sustain!

Sarah Palin is, without question, the single most scary issue facing us today, with the potential to negatively affect the future of all Americans. She is not qualified to be Governor of Alaska, much less V-Pres or President of the U.S. She would take away our reading choices, our birth control choices, our reproductive choices, and perhaps even our spiritual choices. I can see a National “fundamentalist” church in our future if she should ever rise to power. Hey–”a heartbeat away from the Presidency” takes on new meaning when the Presidential candidate is 72 years old! For those misguided souls who think Sarah/Barbie/Mom is the answer to our problems, please get a grip and grow up!

voteformaverick…touch’e….

I been hearing Joe Biden’s speeches since I was in the second grade. Back track – he has alot of experience. Well I heard a comic say that George Bush writes with crayons, but he is a great artist. Sarah, if you stump and read prepared speeches you better be able to back that up with intelligent answers. Everybody likes a smart a@@ – but not as a Vice President.

HEY REPUBLICANS!!
In just a few hours McCain’s campaign is over!!
McCain’s incredibly stupid pick of PALIN is going to come back and bite him in the A** just like a pittbull with lipstick tonight!!
We saw a glimpse on Katie Couric and ABC why McCain has been trying to hide this woman from the press for the last month…
Well McBadJudgment, it is over for you old fool… For today is Judgment day for you pal!!
After the debate:
Palin = LAUGHINGSTOCK! Next Saturday Night Live skit!!
McCain = LAUGHINGSTOCK for picking Palin!!!
The American people just can’t wait to see Palin out “Tina Fey” Tina Fey!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!
Go Biden!! Tear her up!!!!! Or just stand back and let her destroy herself!!!

Bob Schieffer’s review on Ole Miss made me very happy as an American citizen. I was born in Alabama, the Heart of Dixie (50 year old white female). For the life of me I will never understand why they are a solid red state! Country First, U.S.A. at the RNC. Well yeah. COUNTRY FIRST AND U.S.A. is my motto too. It is not a Republican motto. It is an AMERICAN MOTTO. Just because I am NOT VOTING republican (even though I am a registered republican) I am still just as PATRIOTIC as the republican party. Do not hannitize your vote.

PALIN ON STAGE WITH NO TELEPROMPTER FOR 90 MINUTES!!!
Ouch! That one has too hurt Republicans!! I hope Gwen Ifel doesn’t try to help Palin “Clean her questions up” like Katie Couric did either, that was a joke.
Just let the “Pittbull” hang out there to dry!! My guess is about halfway through it she runs from the stage crying in SHAME!!!
That actually is the word for the day and what ALL Republicans should be feeling now – SHAME!!!!
How PATHETIC is it going to be to watch Palin tonight??
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!
Get er done Biden!!!!

Oh S.Adams – If you can’t tell who I am voting for then you are totally messed up. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008. I am voting for new leadership! Intelligent new leadership – not maverick new leadership.
U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. COUNTRY FIRST! COUNTRY FIRST! IVENT BABY INVENT (not drill baby drill). OBAMA/BIDEN 2008. I am voting for my son, the new generation. I am not voting for more of the same.

The only people who support Sarah Palin are religious fanatics or the very poorly educated. Christian extremists on the far right will support any of their own no matter what their other qualifications are, and idiots are blindly taken in by her folksy “authentic” persona despite the fact that she obviously has no clue whatsoever when it comes to any of the issues.
This is a very sad time for America when such an ignorant individual can rise to such an important political position. There was a time in this country when education and intellect were valued, but these traits have become demonized by the far right. It’s pathetic.
Sarah Palin makes even George W Bush look somewhat competent.

Glen and jljaguir–I’m aware of what both party positions are and their backgrounds. I am college educated. But what are you so mad at me about? The Obama supporters have been telling me that I’m stupid for voting for McCain and how great Obama is, I just thought, if you can’t fight ‘em, join ‘em.

Whose Shane Hannity?

s adams, LOL!

Vote for the Maverick–Hey get with the program man, you haven’t been indoctrinated yet? Don’t you watch channel 73? It’s Obama all day everyday. Didn’t you get the memo? According to the MSM and the liberal polls you are suppose to be voting for Obama by now.
Get that jljaguir and Glen? Guess you missed one.

S Adams, LOL, YEP.

No S.Adams. I read. I also watch ALL news not just FOX news. Sorry I haven’t been watching the only un-biased (LOL). Same to you Mr. Maverick.

WOW – Mr Maverick & S. Adams are really interested. How much do you make from the republican campaign boys?

LMAO!!!

jljaguir–The McCain camp won’t hire me, remember I’m an Obama supporter.

I do, I’m undercover. My code name is pink panther, and I eat jaguars for lunch, but not liberal one’s, they are too sour and leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.

Where did my friends go?

outta here, turning on the tube now.

Well I guess I’ll get ready for the debate. I’m prepared to get sooo drunk. A shot for every gaffe Biden makes!
That Joe.

I just want to say that both Senator Biden and Governor Palin are conducting themselves in a very civilized manner!
And I don’t care what “you people” say … Sarah Palin is just “too cute” but then after drinking I’m thinking that Ross (if I’m wrong I apolgize) might be right in that whole “conspiracy thing” about having a puppet government and if McCain/Palin win the presidency then we’re all doomed.
We’re all doomed no matter who wins … it’s just a matter of time.

OK – the debate is not so riveting that everyone has ditched this blog …

J.Adams & Maverick. Are you drunk yet. I am sure you think the debate was all red, white and blue. Are you two still around?

it’s very interesting to me that no one came back to this thread … and jljaguir – I think you should seriously think about voting “red, white and blue” cause Sarah did an awesome job!!!

WOW – I guess Sarah did a better job than anyone expected, b/c there are NO liberals back on this thread!!
HA
Palin/McCain …
oops …
