Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

Ok I just saw an interview on ABC, I think, with Palin and I have to say if that was her A Game McCain would be better off running with roadkill.

She's asked a simple question (I'm paraphrasing) like, "What kind of experience do you have in foreign affairs."

Her anwer, "Well Alaska's really close to Russia."

ABC: "So..."

Palin: "Well we're really close"

Now I don't mind her saying that the proximity of Russia to Alaska implies a certain amount of interaction but she was completely unable, or unwilling, to elaborate on what that might be.

Another series of these was

ABC: What do you think the US should do about the situation with Georgia and Russia?

Palin: The US must support Georgian sovereignty

ABC: What do you think your experience as Govenor of Alaska will bring to the table

Palin: Well we're really close to Russia

ABC: Well what does that perspective offer to the situation

Palin: We're really close in fact from some points of Alaska you can see Russia.

And this was all before the first commercial.  I felt sorry for the guy interviewing her.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

Yeah, honestly, and this is not a biased opinion, but Palin is a whacko.

She's talking worse than hillary clinton. I honestly believe she is setting women politicians back 100 years.

She says she never met a foreign leader and hasn't had any experience in foreign affairs excpet that she's close to russia, yet she is ready to be on day 1.

She also said that the war is a task of God.

She also said that she'd be ready to support Georgia and go to war with Russia. This is after she said russia can be seen from an alaskan island.

It's also been said that she tried to ban books in a library and her church wants to take gay ppl and "pray them" into heterosexuality.


This lady......is a nutcase. I really wish McCain had made a wiser decision instead of trying to play into the media. She's screwing him up big time.

No, republicans are too busy saying Obama is attacking Palin. I mean please... two ads in a row to say they smear her?

And it's Obama that's focused on Palin? Right.

Still, it works, everybody thinks Obama is losing to Palin. Not bad, even if the ads are really some of the worst stuff we've seen so far.

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

"John McCain went on the View.  And had a good time".

YES, DEAR god YES I AM, i'll scream it to the skies, I AM VERY AFRAID, i am so afraid that i could have a hear attack
I DREAD the thought of a Palin presidency, i would CRY the day she became president
I WOULD SERIOUSLY -- SERIOUSLY call all my family members in america, tell them to move to canada within 24 hours,
i would SERIOUSLY consider convincing NY to sell itself to Canada, so my family doesn't have to leave their houses
again i would be nearly crying at the thought of having a women who again bans books, thinks magic is real (according to her pastor), thinks you can pray your way outta anything, is the biggest religous nutcase politician in history, lies, thinks god can turn gay men into booby loving freaks -- i would cry, if she were to become the most powerfull person in the PLANET, i would CRY because she would be left incontrol of the most nukes in the WORLD, i would cry at the thought of her somehow magically, praying her way to protect my family, my future children, my cousins, my grandma, granda, my parents

I think everyone is antecipating poor McSame's passing. Are you all so eager to get rid of him, reppublicans more than democrats even? tongue

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

if you think about it it seems that the rupublican party is doing everything they can to lose... to me that say to me that the rumors that the rep. party has set a trap for the dem. to fall in to.....
but knowing it now, i think that we need another party all together to take over.... they use this team politics, and seem to be more about winning, than doing anything for us " the american people".

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

BW

do you really wanna take a chance on a 4 time cancer survivor and possibly the oldest president sworn in
there is about a 1/3 chance of him dying in office

Gen, i might've wanted him to pass away if there was a romney on the ticket BUT, now -- for my family's safety atleast, i wish he lives through his term -- I REALLY DO

Palin would be the WORST - THE WORST thing that could happen to america, that my opinion and my opinions shared by A LOT of people who i know in america and people who're following the elections here in canada

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

A lot of Canadians agree with you Gladiator ??

ROFL.

Wow.  I would have never guessed.

BTW, the worst thing, in your opinion ?? and you want OBAMA to be President ??
Cool.  Im relieved.

McCain can die in peace.  Im ok W/Palin running the Show now.

LOL
offcourse you could have never guessed that the whole world loves obama

well along with me, 18+ million other people agreed that obama was ready

plus this isn't about Obama, explain to me how it is that Palin has the foriegn policy experience, she has never met a international political leader
she even only got a passport last year -- come on

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

Explain to me why OBAMA FINALLY went on a "FACT finding mission." to the middle east ??

Explain to me, why FINALLY the big three (ABC, NBC, CBS) news Anchors, followed OBAMA, for the first time ??

EXPLAIN to me, why we are speaking about PALIN, as if she is the Presidential Nominee.

EXPLAIN to me, why you THINK OBAMA is ready.  What has HE done.  What Experience doe HE have in ANY Executive position.

Explain to me, why you wish to compare PALINs experience, but not OBAMAs ??  Why is Obama ready, but PALIN is not ?

Palin has worked with an elected Legislature.  Has passed and vetoed bills.  Has run an Executive position.
Foreign Policy ??  She is the VP !!!  She will advise, and work w/the President, and in the event she has to take over, will take the advice of the Secretary of State, UN Ambassador, Ambassador of any nation she must deal with an issue, and the cabinet in place, or the cabinet she then puts in place.  Then the person who ever it may be will in charge will make a choice.

You want OBAMA to make that choice, and then Biden if Obama is not around.

I want McCain, and then Palin if McCain is not around.  I feel better with Palin than I do with either OBAMA or BIDEN.

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

Nothing wrong wtih trusting palin over obama.

Only thing I have against Palin is that the things she has been saying sound pretty..."off". Although she is the vice president candidate, she's been chosen by McCain. And that pretty much makes her a reflection on him if his judgement sought fit that she was suitable to lead the country in the event something should happen to him.

But anyhow, you have to look at the big picture and the long term agenda. Foreign policy is a huge factor in our economic growth and development. McCain's not exactly the diplomatic type as he is a tactical leader. Palin is hardly in any position to be a diplomatic leader. Obama is inexperienced but has a way with words and a personality that makes him popular to foreign nations.

But the American people are fickle. Nobody really focuses on what matters to them the most. We just like to see who's on tv the most.

Sex without the e is still SX!

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

@ Ash

any foreign policy diplomatic agreements are NOT negotiated or thought up by Presidents.  They may set an agenda, the diplos on both sides work out an agreement...then the elected weenies take a picture and smile.

Please......yea.....Obama smiles and takes a nice picture.  Well, McCain sure doesnt take a good picture.....but....if you want a smile and a Picture, Palin smokes them both.

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

a couple of things
Palin is not hot, if anything she's annoying, and that not based on her party affiliation, just my personal opinion, i doubt any foriegn leader will want to stand her high pitch voice for even 10 minutes tongue

and Nolio -- ash ketchum? that's pokemon right?? LOL, you just reminded me of that show, i remember i used to watch it when i was little -like 7 or 8 maybe older but LOL i remember pickachu and charizard too hehe big_smile nothing else sad


--------------------------------------------------
Explain to me why OBAMA FINALLY went on a "FACT finding mission." to the middle east ??
- He went to find out more of the ground reality, met with troops, met with foriegn leaders, went to europe aswell, talked to people there - INSPIRED tongue people there, --like c'mon you gotta love this man big_smile

Explain to me, why FINALLY the big three (ABC, NBC, CBS) news Anchors, followed OBAMA, for the first time ??
-cuz they like him? i thought we already went over this, the news media is biased, nothing we can do about that
although you could argue they gave him extra coverage which could mean a mistake would be magnifies

EXPLAIN to me, why we are speaking about PALIN, as if she is the Presidential Nominee.
- we're speaking about palin, because she's the VP candidate of a 4 time survivor of cancer and the oldest man to possibly sworn into office, and he has about a 1 in 3 chance of dying...that's why we're talking about Palin, that's why McCain needed to make this choice for the country and not for the politics

EXPLAIN to me, why you THINK OBAMA is ready.  What has HE done.  What Experience doe HE have in ANY Executive position.
- State senate, U.S. senate(when he was 43 y/o --that's a big accomplishment BTW), he's a smart sob, smartrer than palin, mccain, biden put TOGETHER, has again and again prooved his judgement is right, -- you don't need Executive experience, especially when everything you did whi8le you were governer, you lie about for example the bridge to no where, she was for it, until everyone around her opposed it, they kept the money, alaska has the most earmarks than ANY OTHER STATE, just this year they recieved $200 million in earmarks, she drove a town of 9000 into a debt of around 20 million -- executive experience MY ASS, if she had actually done something good there or ATLEAST not have lied, she might have had a little more respect from me

Explain to me, why you wish to compare PALINs experience, but not OBAMAs ??  Why is Obama ready, but PALIN is not ?
i already answered why obama is ready and palin isn't -- but i'll add a bit more
Palin doesn't know what the hell it is she's talking about half the time, obama prooves his judgement over and over again
and i wish to only concentrate on Palin because that's who we're talking about right now
it's not a good excuse to say, oh i don't know the foriegn policy experience of Palin but Obama doesn't have any either
and that agian like nolio said, prooves what kind of judgement McCain has too

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

"What is very telling here.......

You leftists are afraid of PALIN."

I'm not afraid of Palin, well maybe if she gets a job at a water treatment plant.  The whole reason I made the comment is because people I've talked to have gone on and on about how qualified she is, how intelligent she is, and then I see this interview.  Unless that was a really bad day for her I don't understand how she's allowed outside of the house without assistance let alone be Govenor of a state.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Re: Sarah Palin, McCains Running mate, Governor of Alaska

Just another curiosity I stumbbled upon, taken from the New York Times:

"Since taking office in 2007, Ms. Palin has spent 312 nights at her Wasilla home, some 600 miles to the north of the governors mansion in Juneau, records show.

During the last legislative session, some lawmakers became so frustrated with her absences that they took to wearing Wheres Sarah? pins.

Many politicians say they typically learn of her initiatives
