Palin Speaks

Sarah Palin's Ground Zero Q and A -- per CNN's Peter Hamby -- is available after the jump.

PALIN: Every American student needs to come through this area so that, especially this younger generation of Americans is, to be in a position of never forgetting what happened here and never repeating, never allowing a repeat of what happened here. I wish every American would come through here. I wish every world leader would come through here, and understand what it is that took place here and more importantly how America came together and united to commit to never allowing this to happen again. And just to hear and from and see these good New Yorkers who are rebuilding not just this are but helping to rebuild america has been very, very inspiring and encouraging. These are the good americans who are committed to peace and security and its been an absolute honor getting to meet these folks today.

CNN: On the topic of never letting this happen again, do you agree with the way the Bush administration has handled the war on terrorism, is there anything you would do differently?

A: I agree with the Bush administration that we take the fight to them. We never again let them come onto our soil and try to destroy not only our democracy, but communities like the community of New York. Never again. So yes, I do agree with taking the fight to the terrorists and stopping them over there.

POLITICO: Do you think our presence in iraq and afghan and our continued presence there is inflaming islamic extremists?

A: I think our presence in iraq and afghanistan will lead to further security of our nation, again, because the mission is to take the fight over there. do not let them come over here and attempt again what they accomplished here, and that was some destruction. terrible destruction on that day. but since september 11, americans uniting and rebuilding and committing to never letting that happen again.

POLITICO: Do you support the reelection bids of embattled Alaska Republicans, Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens?

A: Ted Stevens trial started a couple days ago. We'll see where that goes.

POLITICO: Are you gong to vote for them?

[no answer.]

JERSEY JOURNAL: What do you think of bailout package before congress?

A: I don't support that until the provisions that Sen. McCain has offered are implemented in Paulson's proposals.

What a bimbo!

Wow, that's some biting analysis Ethan and Sandra. How can you two not have high paying gigs on CNN?

My God I love that woman.

My God I love that woman.

@ Sandra,

Wow - that's an informed post! You based that on her responses to political questions or on some aspect of her personal behavior to only which you are privy?

FINALLY MCCAIN LETS HER GO... She will be fine, Palin doesn't need to babied...

This women tells it like it is....

Let her talk PEOPLE.... The liberal media wants to define her as a dumb bimbo don't let that happen...
She's a governor, a former mayor, a former city council member, a former member on the Alaska Oil Commission....

She will be fine these liberals who are attacking her are probably not going to vote for her anyways. I am tried of the bs that comes from the left. No one in the media was questioning John Edwards 4 years ago when he had no foreign policy experience. No one questions Obama's foreign policy experience and his on top Of a ticket.. The main stream media isn't a place to get the news anymore...

Well, I think the answers were letter perfect. I especially liked the (non) answer to the moron asking if she is going to vote for Young. It got exactly the reply it deserved.

CC

so this is what impresses some as a great interview? It's not even good. The questions aren't great either..it's like the reporters were caught off guard.

Turn her loose! She is better on the stump than she is in formal interviews. Let the pit bull out of the cage...

She is great! I can't wait tell she is in VP office!

She'll be a great VP!

Can you imagine the flubs and gaffes the tool Biden would flounder around with?

POLITICO: Do you think our presence in iraq and afghan and our continued presence there is inflaming islamic extremists?

Just an observation, but who gives a crap about inflaming islamic extremists. Aren't islamic extremists already inflamed?

Priceless...

Palin sounds fine to me.

If it was Biden he would be saying some buffoon of a gaffe or three and the press would be laughing it off as good old Joe.

Have those questions to Palin ever been asked of Obama or Biden???

The transcriber seemed to have numerous problems too. I'd like to see the video or hear an audio tape.

she should have come out against Ted Stevens

Sarah is awesome. Flat out great. Out of the 4 candidates only she has a government on sound economic ground. Only she has a energy policy that's worth a d@mn. Only she has ever had to actually make a decision.

While Obama, Biden, and McCain were running the federal government into the ground she was reforming ethics in Alaska, sticking it to the oil companies, and raising a family.

Hey Obama that's Multi-tasking!!!

Biden would be talking about how FDR was the Presidnent when the Depression started and how FDR went on TV before TV was invented...

What a simpleton. She's reciting beauty pageant answers. Any high-schooler could come up with that. I can't believe people think she's fit to go on the world stage. She can't even be responsible enough to deal with a state investigation. Go home and be a responsible Governor and live up to your responsibilities, Palin. Leave the world matters to people who can say more than regurgitated soundbites about "taking the fight to them".

The McCain people are right to keep Sarah canned for now, and to orchestrate the debate postponement to buy Palin more prep time. Apparently she hasn't built up quite enough Jo-mentum to be ready for prime time just yet (judging by this interview, and the yesterday's Couric fiasco).

Good lord, she's a slow-motion trainwreck, isn't she?

She really needs a few politician tricks...

1. Inserting useless details to pretend like you know what you're talking about...
2. Bring up a bastardized form of your opponents position and pivot off of that in order to pretend like you're actually reasoning about the issues.

Sarah Palin is an impressive woman, not one of these whiny "government needs to protect me" b.s. feminists who talk about a human life as a "biological process" inside their bodies. Those women are loathesome idiots.

The Cuda has my vote and I'm neither religious nor socially conservative. It's about time we got some fresh blood in the White House, not these same old d-bags.

"...she should have come out against Ted Stevens"

SHE HAS!!! AS GOVERNOR she fought him among other Repubs. Where have you been?

So, Mrs. Palin seems actually to believe the terrorists were in Iraq. Interesting. Glad to see she disagrees with George Bush on at least one thing . . . even if his finally acknowledging the terrorists were not there is the only thing George ever got right.

Why didn't anybody ask her about witches?

Yeah she is extremely smart. I mean we are fighting them over there so they dont get us here...how old is that line again? What about the UK & Spain bombings...they were fighting over there and they still got hit. Wake up people- does she make you feel safer?

The 9/11 bits are Giulianiesque. Rehearsed bits, as is the deference to McCain on the economy. This isn't indicative of anything other than she's learned a line or two. I rather assume she can at least do that.

The Ted Stevens answer is one where she has some personal experience and she dodged it completely.

If these four questions are any indication, no wonder McCain was trying to bump the VP debate to, oh, sometime mid-November or so.

Palin rocks!

Now I've read the Couric transcripts and this transcript. Incomprehensible. She seems completely unable to construct a coherent sentence. For someone with a degree in journalism, this is just toooooo funny! Nonsensical, incoherent - please not another one like this in office!!!

"Yukon Barbie" - just pull the string to hear pre-recorded responses!

Biden,
Palin Rocks!!!

Why didn't the media ask her about clean-coal power plants in Pennsylvania? Oh, that's right, she knows energy issues better than the six-term Senator from Delaware. Don't want the voters to know that!

what a dope.

Has anyone else noticed the following pattern in Sarita's response to questions from the media?


  • (Reporter) Who, what, when, why, where, or how?
  • (Sarita) "Bla, bla."
  • (R) Huh?
  • (S) "Bla, bla."


That is, she'll give an answer, the media will feel that their question wasn't answered and ask for clarification, and she repeats the original answer word...for...word.

The phrase "mindless drone" comes to mind.

Suddenly I feel like she might have gone through the "Clockwork Orange" treatment to drill the campaign's canned answers into her. Note how she gave the same answer over and over even if the question wasn't pertinent. There is beauty is such simpleness, unfortunately that's only the case when such repetition comes from children.

If you want Sarah Palin one hearbeat away from the Presidency, you must not want America to thrive. She is principled and she is strong, but she is shallow. Meanwhile, she was so proud of not blinking and now that we're on the verge of a major economic breakdown, McCain wants to blink. Impeding the electoral process (especially when he doesn't exactly hold the key to solving this mess) is not putting country first, it is grandstanding.
You can love Sarah Palin all you want, but if she can't handle speaking openly with reporters, she doesn't have the skill to battle with national lawmakers.
If you still want to rah rah rah for McCain-Palin, you deserve to be angry come November 5.

She's a freakin joke.

I'm turning over in my grave.

Friday Night!
Obama vs Sarah!
if only.
sigh

What a breath of fresh air... all you hear from Obama is huh huh huh huh yes I agree with that issues... Good thing the media in the tank for obama.

Palin.....the gift that just keeps on GIVIN...

palin did very well here. so much for liberal sexist obamabots "bimbo " comments.
and yes maccain campaign should let sarah be sarah

btw palin supported her leut. governor against young . that is answer enough for non idiotic journalists who deal in facts and not gotcha

What vapid, rehearsed answers. She sounds just like...George Bush.

And all the supporters here on this page are clearly as uninformed as she is about where those terrorists came from. They were from Egypt, Syria, And Saudi Arabia. But, hey... don't confuse her or ANY conservative with facts. It makes the head hurt. It requires thinking. We know what that leads to. Doing the right thing. And most self centered conservatives only want to do the right thing for themselves.

All this talk about this BIMBO is a really good way to forget about Bush and Cheney, the ones who screwed this country up so well. That's right, they were republicans, kids!!! Now put down the cheese, take your finger out of your nose and go read a book.

And to finish, I have to say that the 'liberal media' can't really exist when ALL the major news outlets are owned by conservatives. Get a clue. And that clue is... they don't like her either, you fools. Now go pray to Baal, or Astaroth, or whatever bloody deity you worship. It's not the god I know. Jesus would be pissed.

As an Alaskan who actually has some experience with the "Sarah Phenomenon", let me tell you....she's all hot air. No substance. She says what you want to hear and the message changes with each new audience. She didn't "take on big oil"...she's in bed with them (all Alaska is). She didn't "reform Alaskan politics"..she is a master at the very closed-door politics she said she was fighting against. She was never around when policy was being made and provided no leadership to members of the Legislature (even those who supported her completely). Keep listening to her (it's really hard to, but try to make it through the horror)...you'll see who she really is. And the United States doesn't need that after 8 years of W. She really is W in drag.

So much ignorance to fight, so little time. Palin has never "fought Stevens". As for her fighting corruption in Alaska, that's nonsense also. The FBI indicted corrupt state legislators long before she became governor. The only Republican she's done battle with was Randy Ruedrich. The "bridge to nowhere" became the "road to nowhere", which was recently completed at a cost of $26 million. It starts at the Ketchikan airport and ends where the bridge was going to be built, at a cost of $8 million per mile - for a dirt road. Palin is a lightweight opportunist who will do anything to further her agenda. Her loyalties lie with her own ambition, as people who thought she was a friend have found out to their detriment. How do I know all this? I live in Alaska and I do my research before posting to a message board.

McCain unilaterally suspending his campaign is an unamerican, undemocratic, cowardly thing to do.

Democratic societies do not flinch in the face of adversity and to call off the electoral process is absolutely the wrong action and sends a terrible message to the world. Our democracy has survived much worse and this rash decision is just one more piece of evidence that John McCain does not have the temperment to be the leader of the free world.

Could she at least PRETEND she hasn't been given an answer to memorize? With, Gibson, Couric and in this example, she ALWAYS spits out the same answer over and over. It's pretty weak.

I love Sarah Palin.
I think my state of NH will too.

And I have to agree that Obama's supporters are an embarrassment to the political process. They spew their personal political attacks all over the internet. Why do you feel a need to do that?

When Obama started his campaign, he said he would never campaign by tearing down other candidates. Yet now we've come to realize that that is the ONLY way he ever campaigns.

He can't campaign on what he has accomplished, because he hasn't ever actually done anything to speak of -- well, except speak.

McMaverick vs. The Chosen One
McCain/Palin '08

She tap danced through the interview. She didn't even answer two of the questions.

Although she may have held leadership positions, I don't see any leadership qualities. Blanket answers is all I'm hearing. This lady doesn't know much about her running mate, wants to put "met some foreign leaders" on her resume as foreign policy experience, etc, etc.

This is getting ugly.

Not qualified by a long shot. Next.

I also have found it interesting that McCain's so-called recommendations for changes to Paulson's "plan" came straight from the mouth of Barack Obama. And then Mrs. Palin attributes them to McCain. Hmmmm. Isn't she the same "lady" who is reported to have remarked on Obama's victory in the Democratic primary, "Sambo beat the bitch!" I guess we'll just have to treat that as an unfounded remark . . . which of course it may be . . . I sure hope it is 'cause there's still a chance (slim to be sure) that she'll be elected VP.

Absolutely she should talk! She should talk often and talk openly. Nothing could be better for the campaign.

The Obama campaign. I'm sorry to see that she has no depth of knowledge, and even her talking points are from 2002.

She's an idiot.

"Let the Pit bull Out of Her Cage". Perfect statement! She is in the process of destroying herself and that will finish her off. ! It took this woman SIX different colleges before she could finally get a degree. Haven't any of you read about the "Road to Nowhere"? No, not the bridge to nowhere, the road. That road cost $27,000,000. Congress asked her to give the money back (earmark spending) so they could give it to Katrina victims and she refused. It is LITERALLY a road that dead ends. The toll taker was interviewed and said no one uses the road. Even her campaign manager was interviewed and said it was a waste. Right....fiscal conservative. Give me a break. And have you read about her building that she built on property that she bought without a clear title for $197,00 and lost the law case she filed against the owner and ultimately had to pay $1.6 million for the land and the legal fees. Fiscal conservative....give me a break. Now the same case is before the Supreme Court for more problems. I was questioning my decision for Obama but with this choice, NO WAY! If McCAin doesn't last out his term we will have a mere infant in the White House! She's not a bimbo. SHe's an agressive woman who goes for what she wants. That's fine as long as it doesn't hurt an entire country. She's just not Presidential material....even with a stretch!

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE THE TRUE SEXIST AND RACIST - SADY.

"The older son signed for Iraq to escape a possible jail-time for using drags and vandalism
The older daughter is pregnant out of wedlock
The newborn was left with the hired hands on day three after delivery"

Sounds like a Hollywood story of a libertine woman neglecting her maternal duty
And this woman Sarah Palin is idolized by the GOP pseudo-Christian lunatics!

palin did very well here. to say that tehy are rehearsed is silly . it is clear she was moved by ground zero.

so much for liberal sexist obamabots "bimbo " comments.

and yes maccain campaign should let sarah be sarah

obama cannot do anything without teleprompter . count his "uhs" and "ahs" in whan he is without it. any oen want to bet ha he will say "uh" 1000 tiems durng debate ? w

btw palin supported her leut. governor against young . that is answer enough for non idiotic journalists who deal in facts and not gotcha

mccain led . obama after trying to stay out ( vote present ) on a vital issue, followed like a sheep.

being sheepish, following, and being removed from any real issue, is the usual pattern of behavior for obama.
leading ( sometimes in unpopular and unconventional ways) is the usual pattern for mccain

She's an idiot.

I've noticed that the media has started transcribing every little fragment of what she says---notice they don't include all of Obama's "uuuhs and his long drug out "aannnnds" when they transcribe him

People like people who are like themselves. On average, there are almost 50% of folks who are smarter than the average and almost 50% of whom are less than average... That's the only way I can explain Sarah Palin's popularity.

She did perfect. I would have liked if she would have used a recent poll over in the middle east that shows that support for suicide bombings as well as Al Queda have dropped precipitously over the last 5 years.

OBAMA IS HAVING MEETINGS WITH A TERROSIT THATS NAMED BILL AYERS.

TONY REZKO HAS DONATED MONEY TO HIS CAMPAIGN !!!

OBAMA IS THE RADICAL LEFTEST HERE>E>>EE

Go Sarah.

I love Sarah Palin but you must admit that she speaks in a very choppy and clumsy way when speaking off the cuff. Eloquent, she is not! I'm hoping it's nerves due to the hostility of the media. I don't think she's dumb but I'm not impressed with her ability to speak. On the other hand it's really not much worse than Obama's uh...uh....uh...ummm....we hear with every answer while he tries to say something meaningful without really committing to anything.

Shocking... typical white trash. She should head back to Alaska and hang out with those dumb beer gut guys...

Anybody else notice that she didn't actually answer the questions? Just like on her ABC with Charlie, she kept dodging the questions.

I think she handled herself well. She gets my vote. As for the long winded Democrat hacks that have commented on this site all I have to say is that we Independents have heard your tripe all before and it is vapid. Yawn. Nobama the manchild. I think this election McCain / Palin gets my vote.

She's like a robot. Everything is scripted and fake. I'm not saying she's stupid, but she is in way over her head.
The McCain campaign keeps trying to hide her and protect her. They had the debates for the VP's restructured because she isn't even experienced enough at debates.
It's a long way to November when you're constantly trying to hide your faults.

Oh yeah, and one other thing. What is it with you guys repeating the same comment over and over again?

The anti-Palin toads are pretty humorous.

Same old, same old.

Typical is the line from Sue that she went to six different colleges. Pure BS. In case you missed it, one of her acquaintances explained that she worked, went to school, worked, went to school. In other words she cared enough about her education to earn it.

Todd, it's not the "lady's" lack of eloquence that marks her as an airhead, but the fact that she speaks in cliches. He remarks at Ground Zero reflect nothing that hasn't been said a thousand times by Bush apologists. What's more, the remarks were stupid even when they were original. But now, as thousand-handed repeats, they identify the person mouthing them as a robot at best, a Republican at worst. (Hmmm. I like that last line.)


Damn, Sarah Rocks!

McCain heads to Washington to help with the bailout despite the risk it could hurt his campaign.

That's Leadership, Selflessness, Courageous, and putting Country First. I hope they make the modifications and McCain can pursuade more Republicans assuming they are fixing some of the provisions that got us to this spot in the first place.

Stop the Hate!
McCain/Palin 08

GOVERNOR PALIN IS AWESOME. SHE IS A VERY SMART LADY AND GETS THINGS DONE

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE THE TRUE SEXIST AND RACIST - SADY.

uh, yeah shes impressive alright, if she was a 3rd grader answering these questions.

Cmon people, you all cannot be this dumb to think shes smart, impressive.

nothing with her being a woman, she just isn't fit for VP right now in these times. Sorry! NEXT~!!!!!!

The anti-Palin toads clearly have a fever.

Same old, same old. Repeating the same false talking points like trained parrots.

Of course she could be like Biden. That is apparently acceptable. He said he got a full academic scholarship; oh wait, that isn't true either. Nor was he, as claimed,the top student in his department; nor did he graduate with multiple degrees, as he claimed; finally, he did not, as claimed, graduate in the top 1/3 of his law school class.

uh, yeah shes impressive alright, if she was a 3rd grader answering these questions.

Cmon people, you all cannot be this dumb to think shes smart, impressive.

Obviously whichever of the FIVE colleges she matriculated (to and fro) from did NOT teach her a good grasp of the English language. She is no friend of the written or spoken word. One can overcome a lack of serious education by reading thousands of books. Had she chosen to either improve her mind or spend the time required to acquire knowledge that is only earned FROM DOING THE HARD WORK .. she would not be as embarrassing EACH & every time she opens her mouth -- without having one of her plethora of LIES to convey.
SAD, SAD, SAD. I worked my entire life and raised a son as a single mother only to see this fake female use her (for now) sexual prowess to achieve whatever (she thinks) she wants. Has anyone noticed that her conquests have ALL been of the male persuasion?
Her lack of serious, contemplative demeanor reflects badly on every woman who has (genuinely) made it on her own.
Sarah Palin: you are what we women call a "Babs."
Live with it -- and eventually you will be forced to "own it." Suffice to say, the phenomenal career you MIGHT have had has been severed by your bounding, unbridled AMBITION; had you used your BRAINS instead of your ego -- you might have been president!
NOT KNOWING your inadequacies and being humble has handicapped you in more ways than you will likely ever know.
Your worst fault is your belief THAT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY EARNED THE POSITION(s) you have attained.
Folly!

Finally - she speaks! Hurray!! HUrray!!

Sarah is not the most articulate, but let's face it, I want a good person as VP and she is authentic and a good person and she connects with the average American. She really is one of us. The other three are elitists or at least out of touch.

Nobody wants an articulate dude who is gutless.

Finally - she speaks! Hurray!! HUrray!!

Yep - we fight them there so we do not have to fight them here..I am glad we are waging this war against Saudi Arabia.

Dunce.

Where is the requirement that Candidates answer stupid questions?

The articulate bastards are what got us here in the first place.

Go Sarah! Stay true, and get ready for that debate. We're behind you 100%.

How can you criticize what Governor Palin said? Biden can say the most outrageously bizare things and you say...well it's Biden. Palin says things that are absolutely correct and you call her a bimbo?

Is there something wrong in brining the fight to the terrorists. Last time I checked that is what Obama said, he wants more fighting in Pakistan. Or has Biden flipped on that? Or Obama. Perhaps Biden wants to build clean coal plants in Pakistan now instead of Pennsylvania?

Nobody is saying it was a great interview. We're saying she answered the questions just fine.

To critiicize her based on this performance only calls into question the intentions or intelligence of the person criticizing her.

To harp on whether it was 'great' or 'impressive' or 'highly informed' is spurious -- it's just a way to find some way, any way, of criticizing her where no criticism is warranted.

It's a ploy, in other words. So, morons, let the rhetoric die and call it like it is -- a fine job.

this woman and her campaign have been proven to be hypocritical liars, and yet so many of you defend her...

and, going strictly on some of the posts here in response to the q & a, it's hard not to feel that america is just simply, and sadly, doomed.

i mean if she loses, you people will not change. you will still be of the mindset that saw her as a good person and potential leader. your judgment will remain, and it is frightening. and even more frightening is the fact that you vote and probably have children whom you raise to think like this as well.

i'd fight for your right to see it as you do.

but no joke folks, tears are welling up as i write this.

"She's like a robot. Everything is scripted and fake. I'm not saying she's stupid, but she is in way over her head."

Replace the "she"s with "he"s and the her with his and you've got a perfect description of Obama. He loves his "uh, uh, uh, uh" when he doesn't have his teleprompter, and with it, well, what do ya know, it's scripted...

That's funny how the MSM never prints all the uh,uh, uhs and stumbles when Obama speaks.


This bias is just ridiculous.

Go McCain, go Palin. America is almost there, but not quite, and another 4 years of criminals and kooks in the White House should do it. Those of us who are not so lucky to live under the Red White and Blue are buying up your distressed assets like nuts. We own much of your banks, your real estate and control the world's energy (don't worry, when the oil runs out, we'll provide the alternate fuel sources as well). Who needs Islamic extremism when conservative extremists have done such a bang-up job ruining the country from within? Nothing could have set you back 100 years like 8 years of Republican corruption, incompetence and greed. Those posting for McCain-Palin are either part of the uber-wealthy 1% responsible for raping, and benefitting at the expense of, the American middle-class these 8 years or are just plain dumb. I has come to that; either rich or stupid in America and look where it's got you.

In order to have an 'intelligent' conversation, one must first ask INTELLIGENT questions. Trying to play 'gotcha' is neither intelligent or informative.
But then, those two words haven't applied to the MSM for quite some time. NONE of the questions above were in any way made to seek information. And if you think they were.......go drink some more kool aid.

She speaks
And that voice, that voice
Someone bring me a bottle of Advil.

"I want a good person as VP".

Well I guess if you define good as claiming no knowledge that your Police Chief was charging rape victims for rape kits (in a town of 5,000 where everyone knows everything about everybody), or firing a guy because he wouldn't terminate your ex brother-in-law or maybe "good" means not knowing the foreign policies that have impacted this country for the past eight years. Hmm, may be good means siding with John McCain on the fact that the "fundamentals of the economy are good", when there's an economic crisis the size of the Great Depression days way from hitting our country. Sorry I don’t buy that definition of good. I mean good to me is knowing that I can go to the ATM and withdrawal funds, or get line of credit for my business or not worrying about my IRA or retirement fund.

See good to me is person who can look down a street, look around a community and see record numbers of foreclosure and think, gees maybe the fundamentals of the economy aren’t so great! See a good person has the foresight to understand that no man is island and that instead of an island we are more like dominos. A few may be able to fall without a chain reaction, but once enough dominos have fall the rest are sure to follow.

Now I’m sure all of you McCain/Palin lovers are the same geniuses that gave us George Bush. Now maybe George is a “good person”, after all I don’t really know the guy, I mean we don’t exactly run in the same circles. But the road to hell was paved by good people, with good intentions. So for crying out loud, please, please for your sakes, abandon this sinking ship before it takes all of us down with it.


Does B Frank multi task???????????


Does B Frank multi task???????????

hahaha, thank you for all of your idiotic "insights."

I take back what I said to my Canadian cousin, Americans really are total idiots.

It is embarassing to see the recent interviews of this potential US VP. She is less than hot air, she is absolutely empty. She has no clue about foreign politics, she believes in witches and creationism.
Let her talk and destroy herself- America will be better off without people like her.
What is worring is that some US citizens seem to be in complete denial about this incapable woman and McCain. I hope that God helps USA - really. A huge population of Americans seems not capable to vote well.

"Do you think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan is inflaming islamic extremeists?"

"Why yes, many islamic extremists are now in flames thanks to our presents."

The smell of all those whacked out PDS suffering liberals defecating in their skivvies in fear is overwhelming ...


PRICELESS!!

Karen Lee, Good comments. And those speaking of her English referring to her interview with Katie Couric were great as well. When she said, "fixin", talkin" and "I'll find ya some and bring um to ya" I almost fell over. Imagine her having tea with the Queen saying, "I wish I had known you loved.....so much. I'lll find ya some and bring um to ya when we visit next." Or maybe sitting with Putin trying to negotiate something and saying, "I think you will agree we're talkin' about security. Ya, I think it needs fixin". We would all be so proud of our classy VP. And how could someone criticize someone who was able to get a scholarship to college because they were bright enough to get it. Unfortunately, she just wasn't bright enough. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the way it is.

I am sad and scared that our democracy relies on the opinions of some of the people who have posted here.

One poster said: "The articulate bastards are what got us here in the first place."

Hmm, this one is a great example of those who scare me. I presume the "here" the poster is reffering to is the current mess we have with the financial crisis on top of the terrible mess we have made by trying to export our will on others, and our continuing addiction to oil. But guess what? It is the republican, bush and cronies administration that put us "here". And NO one would be able to call them articulate (bastards, perhaps). So that poster gets to vote, even though he/she has manifested a complete disconnect from rationality. There are far too many unthinking people who are willing to speak loud and strong about things they do not fully understand, and are unwilling to take the time to learn about them.

Anyone who reacted to that interview saying things like Palin rocks, or other undeserved praise, falls, in my opinion, into the unthinking category. As others have observed, she relly did not have any original material to offer. Some of her answers had NO connection to the question being asked. How can you say that is a great person with great leadership potential? Why is it that a "hockey mom" has appeal as someone to run our country? We need thinking people with substance to reason through the myriad of very difficult problems our country faces. Being willing to sound "tough" and not blinking is pure cowboy mentality. We have become anti-intellectual, and that is very scary. Listen to our evening news, and then listen to the BBC. There is night and day contrast between the intelligence of those broadcasts. The poster mentioned above seems to think that being articulate is a negative. To me, that poster is a negative and danger to our democracy. Good luck to us all.

Doesn't anyone realize the woman is inarticulate? She cannot put together a grammatically correct English sentence. The prospect of having "Caribou Barbie" a heartbeat from the presidency is frightening. In addition, John McCain also is uninformed and not fit to be president of this great country.

I don't understand how people can say she had good answers.

She says, " I wish every world leader would come through here, and understand what it is that took place here and more importantly how America came together and united to commit to never allowing this to happen again"

Is she serious? There are world leaders who look out at their entire country and see the same type of destruction, or worse, everyday. Does she not think that others world leaders don't understand terrorism and destruction? You think the people of Iraq who had nothing to do with terrorism, yet still had their entire country destroyed, need to come to Ground 0 to understand? This "America is the greatest country of all history of the world and everyone else needs to bow to us" attitude needs to stop. Yes, America is a great and proud country. Yes, we have been a superpower for a long time. But we still have to live in a world community. We can't act alone all the time. We need to have the soft power to match the hard power that we already have. We need to restore diplomacy and respect for our country worldwide. The Bush/Cheney years have done great damage to our international image. I, as a registered Republican, am seriously considering changing my vote this election season. The more Sarah Palin speaks, the less and less I am willing to vote for her.

Just when you think she can't get any more stupid....she opens her mouth and proves to us that yes she can.

CBS airing new comedy this evening. Here's a clip. Katie Couric asks the foreign policy question about Russia and apPalin.

"You know why I have foreign policy credentials?
Because our next door neighbors are foreign countries.."

No! No way! Our neighboring countries are foreign?

Reporter: MZ. Palin, What is 2 plus 2?
Sarah Palin: That would be 4
The Hotline On Call Liberal Commentee: What a stupid right wing answer. She had that math talking point memorized. Nothing but blanket answers from this Moose skinning, know nothing,anti abortion, book banning ......

COURIC: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials?

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our next door neighbors are foreign countries. they're in the state that i am the executive of. And there in Russia --

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We do -- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia -- as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go?

It's Alaska, It's right over the border. It is from Alaska, that we send those out to make sure an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.

------------------------

Once again.

OUCH.

She is sounding even more incoherent than John McCain.

This is an insult to the American people that she could be considered to be a heart-beat away from the Presidency. It is embarrassing and insulting to the country's intelligence.

i wonder why no one is asking her why she is book burner? ya know that whole thing about firing the librarian that refused to ban books once she was mayor... i don't care who you are; man, woman, polar bear... banning books from the library is a no vote in the USA... tell her to join the Iranians if she wants to ban books...

Even more scary than Sarah Palin are the clueless, uninformed conservatives posting here. She's one of us? Politicians at that level are SUPPOSED to be smarter than you, or obviously YOU would be running. Offended by smart people? Maybe they will tell you something you don't like, like... Iraqis did not bomb the world trade center. No, no, no. Arabia, Syria, and Egypt. Oh, but those darn facts are annoying. Why are you plugging your ears? Because you are just one of the many immature right wing noisemakers that don't have a true opinion. You have an ATITUDE. And that doesn't count. We don't need a hockey mom for VP. She needs to get the puck out of there.

When Gov Palin has that tea with the Queen the Queen will curtsey !!! put on a bra you liberal husseys...you too Dennis

Dear Republicans,

Thanks for your intellectual honesty on this matter. Clearly Palin is up to the task, and I feel better knowing that if she was not, you people would be the first to tell me. The CBS news interview convinced me, she is really smart and like totally has a handle on this thing. I know you Republicans screwed this country for 8 years by voting for Bush (twice), but what are the odds that you have been totally suckered yet again? When I hear here talk, when I look at her commanding presence, I realize not only is this gal super hot (is that sexist), but she is completely ready to lead the free world and above all else, I have this strange urge to have a beer with her. Seriously, what could go wrong?

Oh for the love of Mike, Hogan, could you quit that book burning meme already? Everybody knows it's a flat out a lie - yes LIE - and promulgated by trolls like you.

Grow up.

It seems to me to be a funny coincidence that all those in favor of this mindless victim of intellectual dwarfism are about as eloquent as small marsupials. This woman in the course of this interview has not expressed a single tangible or intelligent, perspective on any issue. Again I hear nothing but drivel. Do not release a barracuda and expect it to engage in any agenda other than mindless aggression and merciless animalism. I expect that the only question to which we might actually receive an intelligible answer to on the part of Palin might relate to the slaughter and dressing of Moose. The rest my friends strikes me as propagandistic drivel filled with color and gusto galore but very little in the way of substance. This women is the single most frightening example of the neo-conserve warhawk. She continues to diligently regurgitate each and every insidious, ambiguous and ineffectual piece of programming her handlers bludgeon into her rather skull. This country historically has not and should not be characterized by blind aggression. Unfortunately part of our problem is the prevalence of this perception among our neighbors. This women, and her constituency have greatly added to this growing antagonism between our country and our neighbors. Shouldn't we at this critical moment stop and think about who can create stability and harmony between ourselves and muslims? Just a thought...but maybe I am a bleeding heart liber and maybe the age of diplomacy is dead.

Wait... people think those are great answers?

Read them carefully - she actually doesn't ANSWER the questions, but makes statements that are actually answering any part of the question.

And she can't support anything Johnny McSame hasn't supported. No way, no how.

I'm surprised she didn't say "the Iraq" needs better maps to edjucate themselves for the US Americans...!

Hey all you elitist snobs. And you scared for this country types. Why don't you move to Europe. Make America a better place by packing up and leaving. Take your superior, racist, sexist, and socialist backsides out of here. Better yet, go find an Islamist Extremeist and give em a hug. Tell them how you support gay marriage and think that they are idiots for worshiping Allah. I personally would love to see that. oh yeah, by the way, did you know that Christians have the option to Dhiminitude. That is where we can opt to pay the Islamic victors a Dhimini tax. Sorry, if your gay, atheist, or a buddhist, no such option is available. The Qoran says only death is available to you. So keep sabotaging your country and helping the extemeists, and you very well may get your just desserts. Oh, and one last thing for the ladies out there Sura 4 ayat 32. Yes, I have read their holy book and I am not a fan. I think I will stick with Jesus.

Sarah...you go girl!! Let 'em all eat crow come November!!

It's so refreshing for a politician to answer a question directly and not run around the answer. Most complicated questions can be answered with a simple answer. Abe Lincoln did not waste words.
With McCain and Palin running the ship, Abe's spinning days will be over!!

From the many video clips I've seen on You Tube, my impression of Barack Obama is that he is an idiot savant. He easily can parrot what he sees on the teleprompter, but completely loses it when he has to think for himself. A perfect example was the interview with George Stephanopolous, when he said "his Muslim faith", and George had to prompt him to correct himself. The man needs a serious history and geography lesson. Seems like he never had a class in American History. The man clearly is unfit for the presidency. I believe he was fast-tracked on easy street in his home state. We certainly can't risk an affirmative action president in these times. It is sad that so many people are mesmerized by an empty suit.

sounds like the same stupid answers w would give.
there is more to foriegn policy than sound bites, old, tired sound bites. this woman can not think for herself and relies on the same old re-lies planted in her head by the same people who put them in w's head. come on, i expect somthing better from my leaders. wake U.P. america !!! you deserve better.

Look out WindyYooper, I think I hear the black choppers coming for you. (Theme of the X-files playing behind ya as you type) LOL!

Now seriously Democrats, why should I vote for your guy? Come on, you make me laugh when you tell me that Palin shouldn't be VP because of lack of experience. Yet, inexperience isn't an issue for Obama? And he's going for POTUS! So I'm supposed to vote for an inexperienced person who will be guarnteed POTUS as opposed to an inexperienced person for VPOTUS. At least the VPOTUS can learn something before becoming POTUS. Your answer please.

Just a thought...but maybe I am a bleeding heart liber and maybe the age of diplomacy is dead.

Alex | 09.25.08 06:04 PM

Actualy, in order for diplomacy to work both sides must come to the table. In the case of radical Islam it isn't an option. Example

Alex: Let us put down our arms and be friends.
Radical: You put down yours and submit to Allah.
Alex: But I want us to get along.
Radical: Then convert.
Alex: No. I beleive in (***) and you believe in what you believe. We can still co-exist.
Radical: If you will not convert, then you must die.
Alex: I just want to get along.
Radical: Then convert.
Alex: OK, I will convert and turn from my beliefs.
Radical: See, diplomacy works.

Palin's answers were fine, nothing out of the ordinary for a politician seeking office. The point is that Palin is handling the press frenzy surrounding her and surviving it. That said, I do think her genuine response to the site of the WTC attack is an indication of her empathy for others. Unlike Barack Obama, who visited the site on 9/11 this year and hurled a handful of flowers. Mocking Palin's Alaskan accent, or her intellectualism? Honestly, Democrats just don't get it do they? The more Palin is mocked, the more people flock to McCain/Palin. So keep it up; by the time the attackers are done, there won't be a vote left for Obama/Biden. This former Dem, now Indie, is voting McCain/Palin, because Obama doesn't deserve to be a "heartbeat away from the Presidency" much less in the oval office.

What's the next stop on the "No Candidate Left Behind" tour?

You Palin haters are hilariously delusional.

First of all, those of you that criticize her for this "interview", buy a clue, this was a spontaneous exposure, not an interview. You think the reporters were "caught off guard"? They've been whining about Palin being shielded from them, yet when they get the chance to ask her questions, they're caught off guard? Slick.

Canned, memorized answers; always the same? Produce a reporter with a unique question, and perhaps they'll receive a unique answer.

You haters are just upset because she doesn't supply the comedy routine that Joe Biden does every single time he opens his mouth. Nobody takes anything he says seriously, yeah he'd be great in office.

Remember, she's not Obama's competition, McCain is! Stop comparing them. As for her competition, she's got professionalism, realism and MOST IMPORTANTLY, honesty... ALL over Joe Biden.

Supposed feminists that hate Palin are the biggest joke of all. How dare she be beautiful, smart, AND have the guts to tell it like it is. To you, that's just a fairytale... that she lives. Ha!
