Watching Palin

I'm watching Palin speak right now in Vienna, Ohio.

She looks as if she is about to burst into tears.

The outcome of this election will be frightening if she and McCain are victorious.

She was placed in a position where she was unready for the tasks she was to engage in. This would be true regardless of gender.

Now, she is being buffeted by questions that she is unable to respond to, and she is wholly unready for this and cannot deal with the outcome or ramifications.

She is like a hurt young girl rather than a Vice Presidential candidate.

She looks as if her head will burst with anger and hate and hurt.

This is closer to the Palin we have heard of in Wasilla and as Governor.

Hutchinson and other candidates would not have responded in this way.

She is clearly not ready for the Presidential status she aspires to and cannot be let to have this position for the sake of the nation. This is not only valid and obviously true, but must be understood by anyone who cares about the future of this nation.

McCain is 72 and has had 4 treatments for cancer. Palin is not only unprepared, but likely to be overwhelmed by the provocations that regularly come to the President and cannot plausibly respond to issues in economic or any other area of substantive policy.

If we blindly stagger into this through the usual gathering at the trough of excitement, we will not only have a potential tragedy in the making, but a final aspect of America consuming itself through its fascination with novelty and short-term thinking in the face of an utterly unprepared holder of the nation's highest office.

Yeah! Finally! Can the newscasters just stop giving him free airtime if he won't answer any questions? He and his newfound lying vice presidential candidate should have to have at least one press conference a week for pete's sake!!!

What's up with the media NEVER calling this "good ol' boy" out?

It is about time they brought this up. Palin gets a lot of press and won't answer to anything. She won't answer questions, she wants to bail out of the troopergate investigation. When does she have to answer questions? The reason is clear. She doesn't know any answers besides the few they have taught her to regurgitate on commmand. Robopolitician.

Political Radar: Where are you on this one?
***BOMBSHELL***
WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

WHY DOES THE WASHINGTON POST HAVE A BLACKOUT ON THIS STORY???

Palin says of Biden:

“Senator Biden has tremendous amount of experience. I think he was first elected when I was like in second grade"
______________________________________________
OMG! Like no way! Like I can see Russia from my house! Like Biden could be my daddy! Like he rides the train! Like there is a reason like I don't take like questions like from the press.

McCain and Palin need to come out of hiding and face the press.

McCAIN/PALIN = STEALTH CAMPAIGN

LIPSTICK ON A BUSH.

THANK YOU MATT JAFFE. SOmeone needs to explain to Sarah and the rest of the people whinning about the press that if she would simply talk to you guys yall would not be figuratively speaking going thru the garbage trying to find out anything you can about the lady. This is silly . She is NOT Greta "I just want to be alone" Garbo. She is a freaking politician and needs to start acting like one.

Tina - you are sighting an OPINION piece from a conservative paper by a man whose credibility has been debunked by every reputable news organization.

Amir Taheri is a notorious fraudster. He was once powerful under the Shah's regime but now is an Iranian exile and neocon shill. Taheri has been exposed repeatedly for simply making things up to fit his political agenda. For example, in May 2006 he published a report in the National Post (Canada) falsely stating that a new Iranian law required Jews to wear special clothing and yellow patches to identify themselves in public. The paper had to retract the story, blaming Taheri, and apologize for it. Taheri's reputation, already extremely low in 2006, has been in the dirt ever since. - unbossed

BRAVO....BRAVO

This is exactly what Biden should be doing

“Senator Biden has tremendous amount of experience. I think he was first elected when I was like in second grade"

Somone please tell this girl she is not on Snl and most definately is not Tina Fey.

Yeah, Emily. You just have to know that a woman just cannot have the mental and emotional fortitude handle the Presidency. Oh wait. That's right, only LIBERAL women can handle the job. Whatever.

Go get 'em Joe. The repuglicans deserve every bit of it and more! Beat 'em into the ground!

Tina - Where on earth do you dig up this baloney? Do you just make it up as it comes to you or is there a Limbaugh/Hannity web site somewhere. The best thing in the world electionwise for Obama would be for a troop withdrawal. McCain would be floored since he wants there for quite a while becuase of the oil. Keep trying though. Surely you can come up with something at least partially believable like Obama is really a terrorist, or was born in Kenya or is a Muslim or something...

McCain does do interviews with press who have not turned out to be 100% biased for the other candidate, which means there might be enough of those left to fill a thimble.

As for Governor Palin, why should she give interviews??

There's enough people going around digging into her private affairs, and hacking her personal emails, and claiming that they know what she's all about anyway without anything to back it up, so what's left for her to say?

The press takes everything she does say, even though she's making valid points and speaking intelligently, and twists it around to try and make it sound as nonsensical as possible.

The most ironic part to all this is that the press continuously ridicules Palin's degree in Journalism, but to hear some of the stories the pro-Obama media churns out these days, Palin's degree would appear to be more of an education than most of the idiots reporting on this election have had.

So like I said, why should either one of them bother?

Biden and Barack Obama are sexists. The chickens have come home to roost indeed!

THE ONLY THING REPUBLICANS DO KNOW HOW TO DO IS TO LIE, TO MANIPULATE AND TO CORRUPT PEOPLE AROUND THEM.

IT IS TIME FOR REPUBLICAN TO LEAVE OFFICE.

IT IS TIME FOR DEMOCRACY TO COME BACK.

IT IS TIME FOR A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT TO COME BACK AND SET THINGS IN ORDER.

WE WERE ALL RICHER WITH DEMOCRATS.
WE WERE IN PEACE WITH DEMOCRATS.
WE WERE RESPECTED BY THE WORLD WITH DEMOCRATS.

THIS TIME,

DEMOCRATS FOR 09'

biden is correct he dosen't get it. the media has lost its relevance. i remember when a critique by the media was like a scarlet letter. now its a joke-i mean really our economy has been in a crisis and the media focus has been on lipstick. even the gibson interview with palen was heavily edited to leave out her more moderate positions and to make her sound extreme. you reap what you sow.

Palin is suddenly boring. She's just the next in a long line of Republicans ducking an investigation, so the new and fresh is gone.

So now all McCain has on his hands is a running mate who can't be trusted to stray off her talking points.

But they say she's a quick study, so I'm sure she'll know those talking points well by debate time.

I get it! Palin gets exposed if she faces the press...look what happened with Charlie Gibson. Clueless wacko running for Vice President of the United States. Just unbelievable. As for McCain, his morning snooze is more important than the press.

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa today Sarah said, "and this is what we will do in a PALIN/McCain administration." Excuse me who is running for president? You go girl can't wait til that old guy Joe whips your but in the debates. No fungible commodities or flagging molecules on that day.
