As a former resident of Alaska for 25 years, people there have to be gutsy, determined and honest to survive. Their life style is certainly different than LA, NYC or Chicago. Even people who migrate there from sophicated other parts of the country buy a rifle to go hunting and a boat and camper for fishing and outdoor outings. I think the Palens would be a typical Alaskan family and I would have welcomed them as friends and next door neighbors. I don't think the Obama's would fit in. After all, there are few mansions there paid for by crooks as favors in Alaska.

It will be fun to watch this trailer trash go down.

Karl Rove says Palin may be worth +3 points. True enough. Its also true she may be worth -5, especially if:

- independents find her social views too radical

- independents find her campaign style too negative

- the on-going investigation in Alaska shows she did abuse her authority

- people start to ask more questions about her involvement with an Alaskan secessionist party

- more comes out about fired librarians, etc

It sure would be fun to see the leftist arrogant self annointed inexperienced radical loose in exactly 59 days.

The "ALL AMERICAN TICKET"

COUNTRY FIRST........

McCAIN/PALIN '08

how about a question Ms Palin?

no ...good words they write for you even if they are false lol...

good intonation though you look tough.

don't know anything about the world?

oh that's too bad.

I guess that doesn't matter. Look how tough you are? ...wait where are you running to...

what do you mean you melt if someone asks you a question?"

Mary: "I don't think the Obama's would fit in."

You may be correct, Mary. To the best of my knowledge Obama doesn't support Alaska seceeding from the United States.

She also continued her trashing of community organizers.Beware they are all listening and taking notes of her every snarly remarks. We raised 10 million in 24 hours and we can do so again.Your right Jim she is trailor trash only with nicer clothes and she's going down.

5 pundits in one hour on three different stations playing in my office...

when asked why she hasn't done interviews

all said almost the exact same thing...

"the questions don't matter because a VP's policy positions don't matter"

literally ...this is their new talking point...

She won't answeer questions ...not because she doesn't know any answers... or that she is overwhelmingly wrong on them...and doesn't have any facts to back her up...

but because "the VP's policy positions don't matter"

get these bums out of here.

Since the press has NOT asked her any questions about any of her positions, who cares what she has to say.

She is just repeating talking points.

Did she take questions?

It's the economy stupid. Who gives a crap about the surge.

If she's so good, why no interviews? I don't see anyone else in politics handled with kid gloves!

SOMEONE PLEASE CALL OUT FOXNEWS!

Top 7 Myths, Lies and Untruths About Sarah Palin

RIDICULOUS! SOMEONE PLEASE CALL THEM OUT ON THIS CRAP! THEY SAY THEY'RE FAIR, BUT CANNOT REPORT BOTH SIDES....

Nicholas: "COUNTRY FIRST........"

Yeah, but which country? Is it Georgia, Alaska?

You know, all this McCain bluster about how he always puts the country first sure sounds suspect when you consider his 2002 quote:

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president...In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time."

the new talking point is the VP's policy positions don't matter so that is why she should not be asked questions that pertain to them...

yet McCain said his 2 leading issues were someone who agreed with his policy positions and someone who could take over as the leader of the free world...

yet she can't answer any questions on that

only read prewritten attacks and cues...

again THE WORST Presidential decision in the history of our nation picking a candidate who has so little knowledge and awareness of the details of these situations that face us around the world she can't do interviews.

She is about as cool as cancer

"Are you better off than you were eight years ago?" Not even John McCain with a new woman on his arm can come up with a favorable answer to that question to the American people. Only the media can save John now, and believe me they just might save him for a second time. Remember it was the media who "saved" John's sputtering campaign. It sure wasn't conservative Republicans that brought him back from the dead. For as much as the party claims to hate the media as with the Palin fiasco which could have been avoided if McCain had done his homework, they listen and take their marching orders from the think tanks neo-CONS on the New York Times, LA Times, and yes even the Wall Street Journal. The Republican party has been hijacked by corporate fascists who want to conquer the world with the blood of dead Americans. And the so-called liberals and their corporate lackeys in the press, compete for the right to keep the meat grinder going. (Next up Iran) We have no opposition party, no people's interest, no common good beyond what's best for Wall St. at the expense of Main St. If the Investment bank bailouts, and the local bank closing have taught you anything surely they have taught you that. Your will doesn't matter and it never did. Remember "You are free to do as we tell you..." Sit down, shut up, watch American Idol and be "happy!" And for God's sake don't EVER ask questions of those in power over you. You think this is a Democracy!?! (Majority/Mob rule) No, this is fascism! (When the corporations manipulate the people into surrendering their will and best interests, to the interests of the state)

It's good to see that the rabid, vicious lies of the snooty, vain, sneering Left nuts is having the opposite effect they intend. Keep it up, and help us elect McCain/Palin!

Sarah

what are your feelings on the historical constructs of separation of powers?

Sarah what do you think of the history of the mujahadin?

sarah explain how you plan on dealing with global warming and reeling in US,chinese and indian carbon debt...how will that effect trade agreements?

oh you don't "buy into" human effects on global warming...oh ...why? and what if you are wrong?

oh the interview is over...

get this person away from this election before she starts giving speeches about how the judicial branch should be replaced by the church and that the world is flat...and how her assisting in creating an oil pipeline in an oileconomy dependent state is "energy expertize"

ugh

McCain has a long record of contradicting himself. Its just McCain being McCain.

And people laud his straight talk and candor, particularly for moments when he admits his previous actions were self serving. For example:

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president...In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time."

Ah, what candor! What a straight-talking maverick! But also what a crock he's now running a campaign under the slogan "Country First."

Big trouble for Obama in november...
Today polls are EVEN AT 42% for both
the parties........
This year is "a democratic year" BUT
the polls show otherwise........
What's the problem with democrats????
Obama is the problem........
DEAN,PELOSI don't get it.......

If that "woman' comes to N Carolina I will personally bring as many people as I can to protest her speech. Gees I better start saving up bail money.

==It's the economy stupid. Who gives a crap about the surge.==

Everybody who knows it worked.

Obama is a Marxist, just read about his associations and mentors throughout his life...
He has no experience, simply a community organizer. If this qualifies for President, then let's have all the Community Organizers in the country who have good communication skills apply for the job.
He has radical friends.
He wants to bring socialism to America.
His proposals for Economy, Healthcare, & Energy are only going to increase the taxes on all of us.
His socialist healthcare proposal will bring down the quality of our hospitals and doctors. As you all know, government agencies and government jobs suck! It is a fact.
He has no idea on foreign affairs. Biden is worse. The other day Biden said that a nuclear Iran is OK.
Plus, imagine having PELOSI, REID, BIDEN,and OBAMA run our country.... A huge disaster!!!

Mr incredible

no lies here...they were all in her 2nd speech...er...that speech she read I mean.

stop one side lying at this point and not allowing anyone to question her on it...

sound familiar

yeah the last 8 years of cloak and dagger governing is showing it's ugly head... draw fire toward the press and the unpatriotic "left" while you destroy the country ...shut a black out on all information and keep the witness on script.

get rid of this evil empire that was rebuilt in the form of the Mccain leadership team.

I watched it on CNN and almost fell asleep. She was reading from a paper the whole time. Reading from what was hand written for her. Another write up from a Bush speech writer..

You sure the Obama's wouldn't fit in Mary because there is so much white in Alaska?

Senator Obama purchased his own home from royalties earned from book sales.

If you want to start tossing that "crook" moniker around, then your new republican royal couple wear it well. Maybe they can use that song without Rod Stewart's permission for their next march.

It's funny how John McCain cant stand up to Obama- He has to get a woman to fight his battles. No wonder in his video last night- his mother called him Momma' Boy.

America is going down hill with it's reputation- he will have the first trailer trash in office

When will she be on meet the press?

Obama has given the same answer to that question time and tiem again… his only admittance was that the surge worked beyond all of our wildest dreams…
Id like to ask palin about the anbar awakening and to ask her if she can explain it to me, and to explain if she thought this was a big or small reason that the surge has succeded.

You know the surge was suppose to be a couple of months and then the troops were suppose to come home… and we keep getting these stall tactics. Soon, next month, this july, this September… and now its like… hey the troops are going to come home in January…

But guess what happened today, Patreaus says we cant send more troops home because of stability issues. So how greatly did the surge work?

If Palin is afraid of reporters, how can she take on the terrorists?

Oh yes.McCain you keep up the good wpork and tell everyone how your vee P is awsome not that she has much knowledge on the issues as well as you but how wonderful her hubby is freezing his butt all across Alaska and not working.She is being molded into a lady Bush my gosh does she have any ideas of her own...She should keep up the good work LMAO

Mr. Incredible: "Everybody who knows it worked."

Let's assume for the sake of argument the surge did work and it was the major if not only reason for a less violent Iraq today. What have we won?

We spend hundreds of billions of dollars we don't have, we lost over 4,000 servicemembers lives, and who knows how many American contractor lives, and we did we get in return?

Are we in a stronger or weaker position, strategically, because of the invasion we invested so much blood and treasure for?

What exactly are we getting out of this?

McCain/Palin are doing their best to keep issues out of this election. According to them it's all about POW...Surge...POW...Surge...POW...Surge...throw in a 9/11 every now and then.

When Obama loses the only thing I'm looking forward to is Hillary in four years! and that's the only reason I'm voting for McCain.

When are they going to talk about the jobs lost today. McSame..

This ia a very difficult year for GOP.Poor McCain/Palin. Nothing is going to change. same old Mcsame.Bush has messed up the economy of which McCain too is a Washington insider.No more same old story. GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

Mary,

You sound ridiculous. As a former Alaskan myself, I find your quaint anecdotes once again show the weakness of the Republicans' deluded political views. Making unsubstantiated little quips that you've parroted back from one of your many right-winged talking boxes does you no favors either. And I can't believe you actually said you need to be "honest to survive" in Alaska. Have you been watching the news lately? Laughable.

How dare Obama's supporters call someone from a small town 'trailer trash'. Bet they are the same ones living in govt. paid housing, on food stamps and use drugs or sell drugs or steal for their other expenses.
Go to You Tube, check out Obama's home district and town. GEEEEZZZZ-Trashy.
Obama's family and values to not represent those of most hard-working, honest Americans.
Obama has more dirt in his background than some people in jail.

lol some villages in alaska hate white people... so im sure they hate black people too

i lived in ketchikan for 10 years

And I'm still hoping a Republican can answer for me this question:

The Iraqis want us out, and forced us to agree to a timetable our current administration clearly did not want.

Does that constitute a win or a loss?

With these new, subjective, Republican wars, its hard to keep score.

"But I remember it a little differently."

Umm, didn't Palin say that she heard about the surge on the news?

Someone should ask her exactly what she remembers now that she has made an issue of it.

The surge succeeding would be achieving it's goal

the goal of the surge

political stability in Iraq...so we could leave.

There is no way of knowing if we have political stability in Iraq.

The goal was not bringing down violence...that was the tool...

it's like a blind man whose guest keeps walking into a nail and cutting himself...So to hammer down the nail so no one gets hurt including himself...

...and then comes back and says "I bought a hammer I swung it at the nail I was successful hitting it ...so it worked and I can walk away."

He has no idea if it worked...and we may have just blown all the money (and blood) on the hammer.

so stop get smarter...the success of the surge was not less violence just like hitting the nail is not the success of getting a nail to go down.

Tim: "Someone should ask her exactly what she remembers now that she has made an issue of it."

I'm sure someone would if they could. The McCain campaign has Palin in hiding for a while.

I just finished watching a US general in Afghanistan news conference begging for additional troop and almost cried. That is where the terrorist that attackeed us lived..

Mary,
I must have hit a nerve with you- By the way there are MORE "non- africian american people on welfare and food stamps- however, there are more AF in jail these days, and thats because we usually outshine everyone else, so they try to lock us up

Palin- the ultimate american dream- trailer trash

People in America who cannot see the dangers of a Obama - Biden ticket are very naive. And combine them with Pelosi and Reid, this country will only go down. I see SOCIALISM. Definetly higher taxes for everybody, the quality of our hopitals and doctors will deteriorate, too much government spending, and our military will be downgraded, making it dangerous when you have Iran building a missile system in Venezuela. Hello!!! Wake up America.

I have to admit, I didn't expect the Republican ticket in 2008 to childishly change themes in September and argue that it is the ticket of change, as opposed to the guy who's been running under that theme for 20 months.

You have to give it to Senator Hothead; he's got nerve. Completely lacking of conscience or shame, but he has nerve.

--really, I have seen your postings before and know you are a Obama supporter so you would not admit the truth. The south Chicago political machine that Obama is a member of is the most corrupt bunch of political hypocrites in the country. And he received his political education and support from them. How many former members are in jail? He is still being investigated.

Mary, Mary, you must keep on going your way to get to your destination. Why stop and bark back to the dogs since that what the dogs want you to do.

Sarah Palin may be a former "beauty queen" making a good addition to Ms. Buffalo Chip, but she is truly "half-baked alaska."

She seems well able to deliver an attack speech written by someone else, yet unable to face the press to answer questions, needing to head home soon to cram as part of her work-study candidacy.

And the lies are being steadily exposed, along with revelations of her poor management style.

McSame made a hasty decision in not properly vetting his pit-bull soulmate. Now, he'll begin paying for it.

Obama/Biden 08

how about Sarah why do you feel the surge worked?

can you explain the similar tactics (as Obama and Biden have done) between what we did with the freedom Fighters in Afghanistan and the Sons of Iraq in Iraq?

what are your feelings on it?

since your opponents have answered these questions and MANY other detail questions on this issue...

becasue they actually know it... do you?

what you can't answer...

oh and here come your repub talkies saying (literally) "those questions don't matter because the VP just does what the President asks them...it doesn't matter what they see as truth...

ugh

the worst VP candidate in the history of our nation

under some of the commenters on here's qualifications......Roseanne would be a good Vice President...
ugh.

David: "People in America who cannot see the dangers of a Obama - Biden ticket are very naive."

What I think is naive is not seeing the danger in electing a guy known as Senator Hothead, especially when his own party has been telling us for eight years he doesn't have the temperment to be president.

It is a dangerous world, and the last thing we need is someone who makes kneejerk decisions for emotional reasons.

Please, I don't want to have to convert to evangelism. Please, I don't want library books banned. Please, I want to have the right to choose. Please stay the hell away from me Sarah Palin.

Hello David!!! Your scare tactics are old news. Stop playing with your novelty crystal ball and accept that your days are numbered. Your distress might be because so many of us are awake, and will be on November 4th.

Right, guys and gals, or should I say boys and girls. She only read from a prepared speech, just like Obamma does.

OOps, except for settings like Saddleback when he couldn't find any words because "it's beyond his pay grade".

When the time comes, Sarah will be able to say the words that the country wants to hear. Because she has been saying the same words for the last 15 years.

Obamma can't do that because back then he was saying Ayries and Wright's words.

Palin/McCain 08

final note of today- -America will come to be the Libertarian\Socialist party of the future if we elect McCain-

But then he is a perfect candidate for today's Republicans, who are equally emotional. They don't care about facts; that's just "liberal" stuff. They only want to see flags waving and hear bluster, so they can feel good about themselves.

McCain fits the bill well. Will he talk tough to foreign leaders? Yep, and it will make you feel good, regardless of whether its the smart thing to do or not; regardless of whether it advances or stalls American interests.

There's really no other way to explain Bush being elected twice. All that bluster provides an emotional fix.

--Chris-- The AA population is only about 15% of all Americans, yet they seem to have more people in jail, on welfare, having babies out of wedlock school drop-outs and having problems. And of course, they blame it all to the "rich white people".
BLAME IS THE GAME.

Jim, you mean like the way your mother goes down.

did someone say people are naive and yet they are backing the guy who ignored afghanistan and Pakistan?

do you see what is happening in the countries where our real enemies exist?

and now we find there isn't enough troops to keep the cork on the bottle of their "success"...

and a rapidly degrading afghanistan pakistan situation...

never mind russia and georgia

or to make us look like we actually still have that "big stick" that we can walk softly with...

Mccain Bush Cheney and the rest are stuck in bad cold war mentalities that arenot "informed" they are bad tactically as we have learned for years now...

even mccain's success of a surge...if not able to have the governemtn stand now as before...he knows only will be a "success" if we stay for decades.

and we literally can not afford that.

Morons got us in...morons will keep us in.

Thank you sarah palin who a week ago said "she hadn't really paid much attention to iraq"

ugh

Don't care how much dirty money Obama raises from his billionaire liberals, can't buy an election.
Polls show 49% of Americans think Gov. Palin has more Executive experience as Prez - 49% to Nobama 39%.
McCain beat Obama in viewership with 38.9 million viewers, 500,000 more than BO and competing with NFL opening night. But Nobama did beat Gov. Palin, she was 37+ mill and he was 38 mill.
FOX, the #1 rated cable news will have wonder boy on tonight and 3 nights next week...O'Reilly finally got him, and Bozo knows he needs the center to win this election...sorry O'Reilly is giving him the exposure.

Mary,

What do you know about truth? You're a McCain supporter. Does this sound familiar to you?

Somehow you're privy to information that the Republicans and the media have overlooked. Astonishing.

Have a nice day.

Really:- I am not scaring you, just wake up and look at the facts. You are too naive even to argue...

COUNTRY FIRST...........

When Obama was focused on offering a vision and serious solutions to address our nation's problems, McCain offered nothing except a series of ads that painted Obama as no more than a celebrity.

Today Obama is still focused on offering a vision and serious solutions to address our nation's problems. In response, McCain offered up himself as a war hero and unleashed a real celebrity, his VP pick.

One of the first things that his VP pick did was an interview with People, an entertainment magazine. And you'd think her family is off-limits. Not with People. And to this date, the McCain campaign still refused to have her do any interview with the real news media.

Congratulations, Mr. McCain. You have successfully turned this election --- an election which should be about life and death and bread and butter --- into an American idol contest.

And woe to us. We deserve better --- only if we really care.

again this from the woman who said a week ago
"I haven't really has much time to pay much attention to Iraq"

a woman who will not be interviewed or asked questions getting up and having the low life balls to try and attack the candidates who actually can answer the questions

get this woman out of here.

LarryMan: OOps, except for settings like Saddleback when he couldn't find any words because "it's beyond his pay grade".

Larry, he said that once in response to a question about when life begins. Unlike the pretend Christians who populate the Republican Party, Obama admits he doesn't know the mind of God. By the way, my Church teaches the same.

Obama's statement is certainly more in line with Christianity than words from those who pretend to speak and even fight wars for God.

The messiah hypocrite is now spending all his time on the stump talking about what “he didn’t hear from McCain/Palin“ during the RNC convention. He needs to tell us what he would be doing and not pay attention to what the competition isn’t doing. “Man mind thyself!” Oh, but I forgot – he doesn’t have Hillary to “copy/cheat” from in coming up with ideas on how to get this nation back on track. What a joke! I’ll be so happy when November 4th comes around and we can put him out of his misery.

A PROUD Hillary supporter – supporting McCain/Palin 08

OB should run in Kenya where he is from and take his friends with him. OB's mother sure did like 31 flavors.

nicholas

types
Mccain Palin a bunch of times and then

"country first"

I guess you didn't see Mccain's chief telling the press th9s morning "we will do interviews with palin only if it is good FOR US"

so much for "country first".

I guess when they say country they mean their campaign.

Palin is a joke...Obama FINALLY admitted the surge worked? How about McCain still hasnt admitted that Barack Obama was right on the initial decision to go into Iraq in the first place..Oh, well I guess when it comes to that, it's like McCain said last night. "Lets not argue about who got it right first"...You have got to be kidding me, are people dumber than the Republican Puppet Masters?

Obama/Biden 08'

Anne Kilkenny is a far left crony of the Democratic Governor Palin took down. She has a Social Science BA from the University of California, Berkeley.

and obviously an Obama operative. an email to her friends full of lies and attacks and by the way don't share it.

Nicholas: "COUNTRY FIRST..........."

Again, Nicholas, the same feel-good nothing of a statement? How about discussing and defending it?

Which country is it that comes first? And how do you square that remark with McCain's admission six years ago that he just wants to be president and not for any reforms or patriotic reasons, but just because of his personal ambition?

David,

Show me the facts and where they come from, and then tell me how naive I'm being. I've got a computer and a TV too. Who do you think you're intimidating?

Winder her up, giver her some lines and let her speak. Now how about letting her on her out on her own to answer some questions. If she is ready to be President, why is she not ready to answer questions?

President HotHead/Savings and Loan Scandal and Gov. Gidget the Hun with a Gun....please. The WORLD is laughing @ Gooberville, USA once again.

David - quick quiz:

What percentage of the global defense budget does our country spend?

How much do you think it should be?

needs a few more weeks of foreign policy crash course

Dem-4-Life : "Palin is a joke...Obama FINALLY admitted the surge worked? How about McCain still hasnt admitted that Barack Obama was right on the initial decision to go into Iraq in the first place.."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did you forget there's TWO on your ticket and Biden sure voted for the war. The idiot messiah wasn't even in the Senate when the vote was taken. So of course he can say he was against it b/c there wouldn't have been a political price to pay. And we know messiah doesn't like to pay for anything!

geevil that of course is not true about Anne Kilkenny

just because you don't agree with a candidate who wants books removed and has a problem with science when it contradicts her faith...ugh

but Kilkenny was nothing like you describe her but I guess your comment is par for the course.

How is Joe Biden holding up? A guy with his sized ego is not going to stand being totally ignored for long.
Do Obama suppoerters even remember who Joe Biden is?
