Ronnie is wishful thinking! Sarah is the new SuperStar, giving the Obamacan'ts more competition then they can handle! |

Well the breakout turned out to be rash incurable rash accompanied with chronic untruths and lack of knowlege.After the expected convention bump wecan see that Palin is killing our poll numbers and driving ordinary Americans over to the Dems. When PROMINENT Republicans like Chuck Hagel are denouncing Palin in the strongest terms we know the selection committee messed up.It is clear now that Palin is inadequate to serve.More importantly she has srtuck a nerve with mainstream America and Americans have said Yuck!!.Palin's extreme views are out of touch with many Republicans(myself included)and most Americans.So lets get our heads out of the sand and recognize we have a serious liability on our hands.Defending her idiosyncracies to the faithful will not win this election. |

'Yoot! 19! When I was a 19-year old Frosh in College, President Kennedy made a political swing through Western Washington and spoke to a convocation of our school & our cross town rivals. It was September 1963, a gorgeous day and he looked and sounded amazing. 2-months later he was dead and the '50s' had come to an end. You too are witnessing profound historical times. Glad you're here to share your thoughts, opinions, reactions and feelings, Kiddo.
This is mighty exciting watching (and Feeling..) the tidal shift. Looking back, it seems like something started to change profoundly--though not visibly at first--at the time The Anointed was finishing his European end of the Walk-on-Water Tour. The TRUTH that this Guy was not remotely the sum of his faux parts was beginning to show. There was something hollow & missing at Denver/DNC. And, the very next morning, McCain robbed the Dems of their reflected light from the Greek Temple-Nuremberg Rally acceptance speech the night before. Parts, wheels, lights, etc. have been tumbling off the Baby Bammy Limosine every day since then. Now, even maddeningly Lib Washington is in play!! The likely voters polls from Gallup & Zogby have the Congressional Contests at dead-even. Oh, oh, oooohhhh I'm luvin' this Train Wreck. |

I should probably run with this but i'm too tired. In my head I see a young entreprenuer in his/her garage cranking out t shirts with a picture of Barry wearing bright red lip stick.
On the front it says "Lipstick on a Pig".
The bisquit wheels have come off the o'biden gravy train... and Sarah is the Arctic Fox. |

Charlie looked very Fat! They were just showing him from the wrong angle, or he was so full of himself?
Charlieee, was hilariously arrogant and condescending, and looked like he was intimidated by Madame VP! - While interrogating and cross-examing the witness.
Charlieeee, very amusing!
Baba Wawa, Hyperventilating, quite amusing, liberals going bananas! delightful & priceless.
NEO, fasten you seatbelt, it will be wackier, more fun to watch them approach the zero hour! |

Way to go, girl. You are one tough con girl.
Jessica for President 2028!!!!
PS: The "Obama Change Train to Nowhere." I love it. |

Well thank you very much, that means a lot to me, I live in Massachusetts and since my freshmen year in highschool I've been defending myself as a Republican. I went to Brockton High School; 2nd biggest highschool to the Mississippi, and there was problay like 15 republican students and maybe like 2 republican teachers. Considering that I am the next generation its important for people to atleast learn about politics and know what they are talking about. I feel like no matter where I go or what i watch, most of it is all for Democrats. To many youths get sucked into the "Obama" change train to no where. So its finally good to have my word get out there and for people to actually notice it. Thank you so much, and I'm Ready to Fight =D
McCain/Palin '09 |

I don't think so. He has never been pinned down and asked to explain his "exact" words. Never had a question repeated 3x when he gave a talking point response. And never asked to clarify how his foreign policy differs from the "Bush Doctrine". Even if he has any foreign policy of his own, other than deferring to Europe, and the U.N.
And he still chooses to run against the V.P. nominee, highlighting his own lack of experience. Highlighting his own lack of grace under fire, and his lack of good leadership and decision making abilities. Yeah, Barack can run a campaign, thats what he does, what he has been doing since his first year as a Senator.
I would love to see the same aggressive questioning levelled at all 4 candidates, and let US sort it all out! |
|

. . . I have to admit, it sure is nice to see Auntie on the run!!!! |

I visited with the extreme San Fran liberal parents of my daughter-in-law a few days ago, stealing myself not to talk politics. Lo and behold, they are total Sarah-lovers--and outraged at the treatment she's been getting from the LSM.
Why do peeps like Sarah, even tho she might not know every detail of foreign policy just yet? Because she has the instincts to know what's right and the courage to follow through.
Barack is like a building floating in the air: no foundation. Therefore, he's just adrift. He's had 18 months to study the issues and still you can't pin him down.
Paralysis by analysis, as Dick Morris so aptly puts it. |

You have more insight at 19 than most of the leftists twice or three times your age. It is very comforting to see that young folks like yourselves have not succumbed to the indoctrination that permeates Obama and his socialist follower’s being. You, your generation and subsequent generations have much at stake with this upcoming election. Social Security if left to the big government left will either fail or you will be taxed into the stone age.
One thing of note that bugs me and this is not a rebuke of you as this use of the “Democratic Party” is pervasive throughout the media. They are the DEMOCRAT Party. We don’t refer to them as the Democratics but Democrats. Moreover, they are the farthest thing from democratic but rather autocratic. They claim to be arbiters of tolerance yet seek to destroy anyone who disagrees with their ideology.
I guess there is good reason why the symbol for the Democrat party is a jackass.
Welcome to the fight!

. . . . because my koolaid drinking liberal aunt refuses to take my calls or return them. She's all a-gloat when talking about his royal highness. But the last 2 weeks???? nah. . . .. she doesn't want to talk. |

Sorry to disappoint you but I wouldn’t expect McCain or Palin to whine as it is not in their nature unlike Obama. His community agitator gig should prove to be of significant benefit when dealing with Iran, Russia, or other hotspots. It should also help promote his socialist economic philosophy that has failed everywhere else in the world.
I think Sarah Palin should have accepted an interview with O’Reilly instead ABC. Regardless of whether one likes O’Reilly or not, he is at the very least fair and professional. I thought he could have pressed Obama harder but what’s done is done.
We as conservatives understand that we cannot rely on many in the MSM to provide any type objective coverage of the conservative message. It is always distorted as being selfish and supportive of corporations as opposed to the middle class. Conservatism is the epitome of compassion. We want everyone in this wonderful country to excel. The democrats are looking to create dependence with their socialistic income redistribution scheme. It was noted that the treasury took in significantly more revenue after the Bush tax cuts than with the high marginal rates under President Clinton. This is so transparent to anyone with a modicum of objectivity. It is not about bringing money into the government to run the country but rather to punish achievement and promote class envy.
Question for you libs: how are you better off when someone wealthier than you gets taxed more? Bear in mind that 25% of Americans pay more than 80% of all federal tax. There is nobody that can say this is a fair share unless you are a socialist. I aspire to be wealthy and am planning on starting a business that will employ real people. I am hopeful that this business model will expand regionally and employ more people. This is not a burger flipping job but something that will help people create a livelihood for themselves and their family without the government’s help. The old fashion way “by earning it”!

You are indeed right about Obama's lips and they are much more cyanotic than they were 6 months ago. I spent several years working with COPD and other respiritory patients and he is low in oxygen saturation. He has probably resumed smoking heavily from the stress of his bad decision making. He should have kept his word on accepting public financing and should have picked Madame Clintonista as his mate. As I have said throughout this season, Psalms 7, will come to pass. |

As long as the top of Democrat ticket keeps running against the bottom of the Republican ticket, McCain will win. As long as the MSN focuses on her inexperience as the number 2, people will naturally connect it to the inexperience of their number 1. She keeps exceeding expectations and BHO keeps unfulfilling them. The gaffes made by the Democratic ticket the past 2 weeks ( including the selection of Biden ) make them look like rookies and McCain a veteran manager. This is in spite of the fact they have been running for president for 18 months and she 2 weeks as VP.
Liberal Democrats…there is a reason BHO didn’t win the Democratic primaries in the most populous states. There is a reason Biden got only 9,000 votes. When you figure that out, you’ll understand why McCain/Palin is starting to pull away from Obama/Biden.

interview was that ABC decided to edit it. Consequently, we saw the Sarah ABC wanted to project rather than the real Sarah. Having said that, I will add that ABC's editing did not diminish Sarah's abilities, accomplishments and records in any way.
I just think it is wrong for the network not to tell viewers that this was an edited interview with the editing done under the biases of ABC. ABC could have shown the entire interview and did not. Nor did they tell viewers they had slanted the interview with their editing. |

Liberal. He uses attack words without any evidence to support them. Just like his candidate Barry O., he believes words are superior to actions and facts.
Some call Barry O. an empty suit, others call him the personification of arrogance and hubris, still others call him a wimp and clueless, others think the best descriptor is communist or muslim, still others call him a flim flam man. I just call him a lightweight who should not be trusted with one of the most important executive offices in the world.
The facts are that he is an inexperienced, ambitious fraud who has never made an executive decision in his life. Real and sensible people would only allow someone with his resume' and experience to serve in an entry level position. |

You Lefties,
I have to laugh at the commentary associated with this posting by Hugh. Below is a link to the Enter Stage Right website. This article will show that the leftists continue to make up well less than a plurality much less a majority in our country.
http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0608/0608bg poll.htm
The crux of the biscuit according to Battleground Poll question D3, 62% of the electorate call themselves either very conservative or somewhat conservative, while 35% call themselves either very liberal or somewhat liberal. Two noteworthy conclusions: the leftist are not representative of the country by any measure and there is no massive group of independents.
I believe Sarah Palin has singlehandedly saved John McCain’s campaign; although I don’t care for his talk of reaching across the aisle. I believe when elections are tabulated the winners get to LEAD the country with the ideas that facilitated their election as was demonstrated by the 2006 Democrat Congress. There hasn’t been much reaching across the aisle by Reed or Palosi has there? I am not complaining because I believe winning of elections is crucial. In one way I admire the Democrats as they don’t keep any mavericks in their party (Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller). They do what they think is right albeit misguided. The Republicans need to understand this concept and realize timidity turns off the conservatives and turns on the libs and the MSM (one in the same). Regardless of what the Republicans do, they will never be liked or respected by the MSM or their Democrat colleagues and should run and govern accordingly keeping in mind who elected them.

unintelligible questions to try and reveal Sarah as a lightweight. The only thing he revealed was his own either lack of competence in preparing for this section of the interview or fear of peers that caused him to deliberately misquote Sarah and ask a question (on the Bush Doctrine) that he knew was misleading and inaccurate.
Take your pick, but it does not reveal Gibson as a first class interviewer, but as more of a insecure hack or an Obama partisan. |
|
|
Im sorry but I disagree, Obama did horrible on "O'Riley" you couldnt get a staright anwser out of him for anything. It was always "Well well well wait a minute" or "Well number one" |
|
|
I think Obama handled O'Reily just fine but as far a being calm however that was about it. Undoubtedly you will see more and more tapes surfacing that show him in contradiction with himself on at least 2/3 rds of the topics covered. Sarah on the other hand was right on target and practically had Gibson stunned and back peddling when she quick precise answers on topics he was assuming she would blow it on. It also will come out that he misquoted her then stated that it was "a direct quote". She gave some diplomatic answers as well which I think speaks to her complete understanding of how politics work. |
|
...I'm sufficiently assured Mrs. Palin did a fine job----otherwise it would not have stirred the Left so much in having posted NOTHING which substantively critiques her responses.
Name one post by Liberals/Lefties/Victocrats/Progressives on this thread which argues rationally, reasonably, clearly that Sarah Palin stumbled or failed in any way?
Anyone?.............Anyone?................
That's what I thought.
>:D |

real-time progress with our own weathervane kosroid kluster swarming in, don'tcha know! Ohhhh, this is getting Yummy-Yummy-Yummy.
Real consequences of Sarah's wonderful effect on Juan's race can be seen in the growing good poll results on other contests, as well. Gallup(posted on Drudge this a.m.)has the Repubs closing to within 3% of the Demowits in congressional races! OUCH! The more Baby Bammy is flumoxed and stuttering BS and making errors--along with the Gaff-Stupidity-prone Biden--the more of a cartoon they become. And, there's some scared Congressional & Senatorial Demowits. Seems like light-years since the triumphal Walk-on-Water tour of Europe, doesn't it? I mark that bunch of tin-eared sillyness as the start of his Titanic Ice Berg Collision.
I'm also enjoying IMMENSELY this faux serious concern by the MSM-Lapdawg Airheads about, by Gawd, Sarah's lack of EEeeeeeeekKK "foreign policy experience"! Lemme see...Billy-Bubba Clinton, their heart throb, knew what about foreign affairs..? To use a Good, rather than sleazy, example: Harry S Truman had what foreign policy grasp when the dying FDR put him on his last ticket and then included him in very little DURING WARTIME..? Sarah can swat the gnats of the press vermin like the idiots they are. And, smile winningly and look DAMN GOOD doing it. Americans love this Girl.
McPalin not only have the Dem Ticket on the ropes. They've got the Drive-By Media gasping. Oh, and on Drudge this a.m., also...Baby Bammy's campaign has announced Tough Guy Hardball against Juanito: Yep, K.G., they've let it be known that Mccain's lack of Net Surfing Expertise is going to be attacked! Wonder if their limp wrists will be severely on hips when they do that comical Metro-Twaddle! TOAST. Clueless, comical TOAST. |

Is Obama still supporting that bridge to nowhere he voted for?
I am trying to put together a list of things Obama has done, and want to be sure to add this to it.
I tried to look it up in my copy of the Obama best seller, "Accomplishments of Barak H. Obama", but not only is there no index, the pages are blank.
And hey, does Obama know if Russia is on the UN Security Council yet?
I mean, since we are talking about foreign policy and all. |

My name is Jessica, I'm 19 and I'm a full time College student Majoring in Political Science.
Oh this is just all so funny. I feel like the only reason Charles Gibson was like that towards Palin was because Obama did absolutley terrible on "Bill O'Reliy". You couldnt get a straight anwser out of him about anything. It was always "well well wait wait wait one minute", or "well number one". He couldnt even admit he was wrong when Bill asked him about the Troop Surge in Iraq. But he is supposably suppose to be the next President of the United States? Hmm, and I'll ask, why do the democrates keep attacking Palin? Oh thats right because they feel threatned now that shes on the ticket. Charlie Gibson just sat their with his nose in the air, and he pretty much never made eye contact with her. He was rude, arrogant, and snooty. Not for nothing but Palin answered the questions she didnt stutter like a certain president canidate. She gave a straight anwser unlike another certain presidental canidatte. Its was almost like he kept pushing them on her, and trapping her. Did you see Bill O'Reliy do that to Obama during his interview? No. In fact they were joking around and Obama still did horrible. So why all this animosity with the democratic parties? Its because the democratic fear is coming through. They feel threatned by Palin, anything to make her look bad, thats how they roll! |
|
I was hesitant for Sarah to interview with Charlie Gibson, because we all know that Fox is the only unbias news station. What she did was let the whole country know that the news media other than Fox is out to support NoBo. Where else can NoBo go and not get asked any questions, go to Charlie he may even help you answer the questions like stephanopolis did when you admitted to being a Muslim errrr uhhh don't you mean Christian. How many errrr's and uhhhh's did you hear Sarah come out with in the interview. Sarah would make a fine President!
Congrats Sarah!
All whiners go to NoBo for a shoulder to cry on. |

Thank you for confirming that Obama, and his Obamatons, were completely on board with their sexism and misogyny.
The only women that count for you guys are the ones who do as they are told.
And, by the way, it is McCain, not Palin running for President.
The scary thought is that someone as proven stupid as Biden could ever be placed near anything more dangerous than a microphone.
And Obama....tell us again what he has ever done to show he can ever do anything?
You Obamanation guys are the only pigs in this race. |
|
|
They question the Governors knowledge when Obama doesn't remember how many states we have Hey dimwit its 50 not 57 |
|
That Russia is on the Security Council yet?
Or how many states we have?
Or what Senate Committees he is on?
I wonder if he will ever have a tough interview?
For the Obamatons who are trying to talk her down, be careful what you wish for, my dear friends. |
|
Palin did fine, especially in light of Gibson's terrible performance. He kept asking the same question over and over, either forgetting that he just asked it, forgetting that she just answered it, or expecting a different answer to the same question. Palin was classy enough to carry him through it though.
Gibson embarrassed himself by asking her to respond to a quote that wasn't hers, and then asking her about the Bush Doctrine that he obviously didn't know had changed and expanded. Again, Palin could have slammed him, but she just smiled and answered the question she thought Gibson may have been asking. Despite all this, she did very well, and ABC owes her a vote of thanks for not embarrassing their "star" on national TV. |
|
Palin is a farce. A puppet. A token. She totally represents everything that McCain is NOT. After watching her first interview, I feel (more than ever) that she was chosen just to pick up the disgruntled Hillary voters. She would've been a great candidate back in the 1950's but we are in different times. She is regressive. Palin is worse than Bush. Worse than Cheney. She is a distraction. No more, no less. I feel sorry for the GOP.
Go "Talking point Palin". Keep talking!!! |
|
|
IDIOCRACY was made by FOX, so you know it's fair and balanced. |
|
She doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. All she can do is repeat Bush-isms and war on Russia.
Yes, let's give her the keys to the nuclear kingdom.
I advise many of you to watch the movie IDIOCRACY, because that's what we're headed for...

She looked rattled and nervous as hell. I'll bet she takes another 2 week vacation from the media after this embarrassment. |

Looking back to that horrible day, seven years ago:
We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.
–Barack Obama, Hyde Park Herald,/i> Sept. 19, 2001.
“This is obviously an act of war that has been committed on the United States”

Actually, I know a way. Look up US Patent 4,723,284 (just give that number to Google). (Note the author.) Have your wife explain it to you. Tell me where your public key is published.
It's pretty funny, you questioning my identity. You don't even have the courage to use your own name.

You have claimed to have pwnd Erin but have not yet demonstrated to me or those on this forum that you are competent to teach applied mathematics or that you are really Bob Munck. Using your own name on this forum is only safe if you are a libtard. Another reason to question your competency. With the loony characters of the left posting here, there is great risk to identify your person if you are conservative.

My comments about the interview are: 1) Mr. Gibson did not correctly state what the "Bush Doctrine" is; and for that matter I sincerely doubt that Mr. Obama could have done any better on answering it. Palin was correct in asking cg exactly what he was referring to. 2) Mr. Gibson misquoted Gov. Palin about her speech in the church. 3) According to Sen. Obama, Gov. Palin's answer to admit Georgia into NATO is the correct thing to do. 4) Her answer regarding Isral (which was a "trap" question) was again the right answer. 5) Gibson's comment about "the blizzard of words" was disrespectful and very telling what his agenda was.
Gov. Pallin did seem a little tense; however, I did notice that she was not nervous acting at all (clasping and unclasping of hands, shaking her foot, etc.). I did notice how Mr. Gibson kept shaking his foot like he was especially nervous. |

Ok Munck. Now take a quick guess. One of the geometries is the only one which works in the dimensions of radio waves. Shouldn't an applied mathematics major at least know which theory to point his students toward to solve this applied math situation? The towers must be in a certain range of the 3 dimensions to work properly. You are correct to remember what you stated about Riemannian Geometry and Lobachevskian Geometry but as an applied mathematics teacher, you should be able to easily point the way. If you don't know then just say so |
|
When is he ever going to do that to the O?
But Palin didn't come across well at all. She is much better as a persona, rather than in person. Her answers were high schoolish, my 18 year old said he could answer equally well or better, and I think he could have.
She's better kept at a distance from the press for the duration. She showed tonight that she's not presidential timber and that the notion that she's the next Reagan or Thatcher is nonsense. |
|
|
Charlie Gibson should have not commented "hubris" on Palin's VP nomination. It was biased, condescending, and an underhanded attack. He didn't say that about Obama, who is only three years apart, and also has young children in his family. |
|
|
. . . . awesome link about Charlie Gibson's major "screw up." Hmm..... Munck!! Where are you now defending your guy Charlie??? Huh?? I think we can now add "lying" to the list of Charlie's attributes tonight. . . . |
|
|
. . . is crumbling. . . . Where are all the usual libs tonight?? At least we have Angell, Munk and Ronnie to bat around. Thanks guys!!! |
|
Most of us here have already made up our minds. Ronnie is a perfect example of that. It simply does not matter what he or I for that matter think.
Our opinions in this election are not relevant. Its only those whose minds are not made up. That magical 10%. that will decided this election.
So sleep well Far left and Far right, your vote has already been counted. Your opinions frankly could not matter less. Feels good to vent though don't you think. haha
Good luck to all, may the best person win and God Bless America. |
|
|
. . . . biased and aggressive??? Nah!!! I think we said "prunish; constipated; condescending; dishonest; pompous." Yeah, Charlie was all that. Biased and aggressive??? She stood up to that, Munck. In fact, she stood up to all that this MSM hack had to dish. And she did it with class and aplomb. |
|
...of your bias is that you refuse to see that Gibson was rude, patronizing and dismissive. Even insulting.
If you can show me where Obama's been interviewed in such a manner (even O'R showed more respect to Obama and definitely more to Hillary), then you might have a point. |
|
After collecting some input from non-fanatics... Gibson came off as an A1 bully & a jerk. When the "oops" comes out on the blown "exact words" the confirmation of an attempted, but failed, hit piece will further inoculate Palin from future attacks and even small gaffes.
Not only were they not her exact words, it was a totally opposite interpretation.
Sloppy, mean, wrong, biased. |
|
Did you hear Todd's interview where he said returning to the oil fields was a "vacation" after taking care of the kids?
It's strange. Obama is a few years older than Palin, but she seems light years more more mature. I guess it's that heap o' livin' that makes the difference.
BO seems VERY green. (No offense, Kermit.) |
|
|
Nothing could do more to convince me about how tonight's interview went than to see the many posts on TH accusing Gibson of being biased and aggressive. |
|
The purple lips of death are getting purpler as well.
And that wart thing on his left cheek near his nose is getting more noticeable, too.
My guess is that he's up to four packs a day, three hours of sleep, and lots of take-the-edge-off little pills.

Joe He got his info from the AP?? That 'splains

Example: "Growing State Wolf Herd Draws Ire from
Farmers" dated 11/11/03 headline in my local paper from the AP regarding the devastation to farmers animals by the Wolves that no longer run in packs but are in herds. I guess they use the old wolf in sheeps clothing ploy to get near their victims. I keep this near my 'puter to remind me how dumb these idiots are in the
liberal yellow rag trade. |

Name one achievement of his - a law he co-sponsored? A company/town/city/squadron/state he headed - for even a week?
He gives speeches and writes books - fine. Decision making? The agent of change goes with a guy that has been in Washington since uhBama was 12. Great decision - what a outside the box selection! A guy who has been in Washington for 35 years. The pick was so bad that his choice thinks it was a bad idea.
Her experience dwarfs uhBama's. She can give a very good speech and is far better thinking on her feet that than the "57 states" Senator is. Okay, she is two books self absorbed books behind him but it is hard to find the time to write when you have actual responsibilities.
I have had to take care of my children while my wife was on Reserve duty - a hard day at the office is far easier than the average day with young ones - she is ready - far more ready than uhBama. |

"Sarah reminds us of all the good, smart, competant women in our lives who just plain get things done."
Only the GOP could throw up a "hockey mom" mother who preaches abstinence with a 17 year old unwed pregnant daughter and consider themselves paragons of virtue and competence. As for hockey moms, those are the loudmouths who scream at their kids for not being winners. At least Palin was mayor of the Meth Capitol of Alaska. Good ol' homey GOP values.
Your delusions on her are truly pathological. |
|
|
. . . he was rude, dismissive, arrogant, and his "blizzard of words" comment was obviously pre-planned (did ya catch the snow reference???) was completely condescending!! Well oh well. . . sexism is alive and well in America!!!! At least until Sarah takes office - oh, I mean office in 4 years! |
|
|
. . . Marialby! I thought the same thing when I saw BamBam on O'Reilly. . . . I said to myself, "Kermit, this guy is aging right before your eyes!!! Ever since Sarah Palin walked on the stage in St. Paul for the first time and stole Bambi's thunder!!" |
|
Right out of the gate Charlie Gibson asked Sarah if she paused to think if she had enough experience to be VP when McCain asked her to be his running mate...
Though she responded confidently, Charlie interrupted her questioning her response has "hubris". She let that remark go pretty deftly and steadfastly declared the team's readiness to lead.
Surprisingly, Charlie Gibson was pompous and very condescending throughout(I expected much more from him). When has the MSM ever asked Obama about his "hubris" for thinking he can run for the highest office of the land with just 140 days of Senate experience and 130+ "present"? Oh yeah, he was a "Community Organizer"....still no one can define what that means.
This interview was supposed to be a setup for Sarah to fall into a trap and say something stupid. She did not oblige. It was ABC's answer to the rough-up Obama got from Bill O'Reily. Instead, she parried every thrust successfully as the respectful, competent professional she is.
No wonder she's driving them nuts!
Keep the razor blades away from Ronnie (and the rest of the KOS folks)! McCain and Palin are on a roll and are going to win!

and I love it. Palin is better than Obama because she's poised, articulate and, more importantly, right on the issues. |

Sully Lies, The Atlantic's Rep Dies
Pathological liar Andrew Sullivan said this today:
"But this exchange is a classic example of how she tends to lie reflexively when caught in an uncomfortable part of her record:
GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we fighting a holy war?
PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.
GIBSON: Exact words."
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/0 9/one-preliminary.html
Here is the correct quote from Governor Palin:
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H-btXPfhGs
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/11/open-thread-palin-on- abc/
And that quote is a paraphrase of a prayer Abraham Lincoln gave in the Civil War.
Charlie Gibson (I assume unintentionally) made a mistake by relying on the AP's version which misquoted and truncated what Gov. Palin actual said. Given Andrew Sullivan's pathological slanders and libels over the last two weeks triggered by his fears of Obama losing, I assume Sully is just lying.
Arch says"
Good point Joe. What was Gibson doing by claiming " Exact words" when that was totally ficticius? |
|
...channel surfing, completely bored with Obama's ramblings on the Columbia interview.
Mack did great. Obama is intolerable to listen to. Please don't vote for him.
PS: Marialby: I agree. Poor Obama is aging before our eyes. Check out photos of him just two years ago.
|
|
KG, I couldn't agree more. I really thought Gibson was above the gotcha/Dan Rather condenscending school of journalism, but I was obviously wrong. He reminded me of a college prof - acting superior and dressing down a student.
I don't think this was Palin's shining hour, but I do think it reflected more negatively on Gibson. And I think there will be an immediate backlash to his ratings, as well as more common folk rallying around her.
By the way - did I miss something? Did Gibson or any other journalist conduct such an inquisition of Obama? |
|
|
Obumble - love the name and it is so uhhhh errrr ahhhhhh hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm true. |
|
Is it just me or has Obama grayed a hell of a lot in the past 2 weeks? Tonight during the Presidential Candidate Forum it was so evident.
Wow, either his handlers are trying to make him more mature looking to appeal to the older voter now that their are only 56 days left OR...
The "Surprise" of having Sarah on the Republican ticket has scared the "bejesus" out of him and drained the color right out of his head...LOL.
She did great on the interview and handled her own. Keep it up Sarah!!! |
|
But the "hastily editted" bit were the worst possible light they could put on the GOP's new mom...
She *_is_* ready to be President... |
|
...patronizing jerk, peering over his glasses, treating Palin like little school girl called to the principal's office.
She was tense (who wouldn't be the first time out), but held her own.
Trust me; women will not appreciate Charlie's one up-one down attitude. SHE'S a Governor and a candidate for VP. HE'S just a supercilious interviewer.
You expect him to be tough---but not rude and dismissive. The fact that she is the nominee demands some respect.

How the hell do you know how heavily Palin was prepped? How is Dudley privy to this info? The woman was flying all over the country for the last two weeks. She just flew in from Virginia last night (and boy are her arms tired, but seriously...). Oh yeah, her first born child just went off to war today. If anyone was heavily prepped, it was Gibson. It seemed to me that he could have performed much better.

So Obama has had 1, count 'em, 1 tough interview and he's been running for 2 YEARS. The MSM has been salivating to lay into her and be the one to bring her down. Obvious, duh......... |
|
|
Not only did Sarah handle herself brilliantly and answered all his missile like questions to try to make her implode and it simply did not work. You could literally "SEE" the hostility and cynicism pouring not only out of his eyes and mouth. His whole body got more fidgety and he started trembling throughout the progression of the interview...HA HA HA...Go SARAH Keep shaking things up and keep making them all SQUIRM IN THEIR SEATS...Literally!!!! |
|
Ronnie,
I'm beyond happy; I'm ecstatic. I have talked to so many people who are pleased and energized by her selection and performance. I know dozens of people who haven't contributed a dime to the RNC or any campaigns for several years who have broken out their checkbooks amd signed up for GOTV.
What you guys (I use that word advisedly) on the left don't understand is that Sarah reminds us of all the good, smart, competant women in our lives who just plain get things done. The fact that she isn't a darling of the Beltway or have an Ivy League education is a plus. Her istincts are right and she will put the country first; which is more than I can say for the incredible shrinking "One". The One got by, to this point, by being a Chicago Machine pol and by being coddled by the MSM. Now that he's in a real race his weaknesses are becoming apparent. Palin is in his head and McCain and company are inside his OODA Loop. I'm loving it
|
|

Gibson constantly held this snear/frown that made it obvious he was not getting Sarah to breakdown into some frenzie. She held her own and we are oh very proud! The media is about to get served - and when Governor Palin becomes VP, what a refreshing new leaf our country will have turned. She is indeed poised and powerful in her communication - and her motherly pride with regard to her son, was a proud moment for me and am sure many americans whose kids are serving. 'he could have chosen an easier more comfortable career' - like Obama may be? glad Sarah did not raise community organizers - whaaa? |
|

. . . I think you're exactly right. Charley was looking constipated because he wasn't getting anything out of her. He wasn't getting his "a-ha" moment. Hmmm.... too bad for Charley. . . . |

Dudley. That is exactly what middle
America wants! Hockey moms in the executive branch. They are tired of the elite, career political hacks speaking, and representing them. Palin is the leader they have been searching for. Get ready to be cleaned out. Just ask any of the jailed or defeated cronies of Alaska that got their -sses handed to them. Palin speaks directly to the people and bypasses futile old libtards with their tired old shows. Get out of the way Dudley. The steamroller is out of control! |

She scares the hell out of me. She's frighteningly ill-prepped to be leader of the free world in 60 days. Hugh's spin is always good for a parody -- "Sarah Palin proves once again that she is stalwart and steely, destroying the odious MSM attacks by Gibson, uniquely qualifying her to lead this nation to eternal victory..."
And for an example of pompous attack dogs, O'Reilly's rude and accusatory interview with Obama is a perfect example. O'Reilly is another GOP moral phony. That 10 million he paid out makes him pretty elite... |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA eh heh, heh snerk, snerk,AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is way too much fun! |

Nice job by Charlie Gibson of misquoting Sarah on the "mission for God" question, and then insisting, over her objections, that his version of it was what she really said, even though it wasn't! He had her declaring that it was God's plan and mission, but what she actually said was that the people needed to pray that there was a plan and that that plan was God's plan!
The difference between those two statements could not have been clearer. No way in thousand years old Charlie would ever misquote Obama and then insist Obama was wrong in objecting. Unbelievable. We are witnessing the total unhinging of the left.
Charlie Gibson and ABC need to apologize (breath-holding not recommended here). |
|
I think she did just fine...and frankly, I do not believe the world is so complex that only Ivy league graduates who have traveled the world can run my country.
I do however, want to point out my wife's reaction to tonights interview. She definitely does not like Obama and frankly doesn't put much hope or faith in politicians as a general rule so she hasn't really been singing Hosannas since Palin's selection for the VP slot.
But tonite, she was visibly disturbed by how condescending Gibson appeared to be towards Palin. My wife was irritated by Gibson's posing of a question, and then looking completely disinterested in Palin's answer. In fact, my wife made a point of showing me how he looked down at his paper as if to read his next question, while she was still trying to communicate with him. I am not even going to address his tone or overall body language except to say my wife noticed it as well.
I may be just one fella....but I tell you this, I think the polls are showing women will be a big area of support for McCain-Palin. But if you anger them with condescension and dismissal, they will not only vote, they will WORK to get McCain-Palin elected. |
|
|
I thought Gibson did her a favor by taking the gloves off!! That's the bloody job of the "Fourth Estate" isn't it?!?!? Showed what a steely nerved candidate she is!! I thought that was a great interview that showed America what she's made of. More interviews like this of McPalin and of bozos like the "Bourne Ignoramus" all the way to November!! |
|
|
Ronnie, turn on your tv. She did not bomb. She was subjected to a quick hatchet editing job at 6:30. They just replayed the first part of the interview on Nightline, and the extended answers show her to be FAR more comfortable. It is also clear that she knew what Charlie was talking about re: the "bush doctrine" |
|

It be nice if uh...Barack's every...umm, uh, other word wasn't, uh, you know, um, uhhh.... |

You guys are REALLY getting ridiculous. Aren't there any conservatives in here with some intellectual integrity? Anyone, anyone? |
|

if we had a President who could say "nuclear" instead of "nukular". And don't get me wrong, friends. This actually has very little to do with Palin herself. It has more to do with John McCain's judgement. It's been shown to be cynical and self-serving and downright reckless. I hope you guys are happy. |

Once again o'biden is caught napping. Barry O hadn't given one difficult interview until just the other day and he had to go on Fox.
He gets his butt kissed by the likes of o'berdork and its called hard nosed journalism.
John and Sarah are way out front and gaining momentum. Saracuda aint skeer'd and charlie calls it hubris. He wouldn't dare ask that one of Barry because he doesn't have the ...
Game on. |

Someone once asked Harry Trueman what his first
impression of Joe Stalin was. Trueman responded
that he thought Stalin was likeable and reminded
him of his old Democratic party boss from back
home in Missouri.
Trueman later confronted the Russians with the
Berlin Airlift, confronted the Chi Coms in Korea
and fired a famous general for being
disrespectful and insubordinate. Well...
we know she can fire people, and I'm sure she
won't ever confuse Putin with anyone else. I can
see her filling the role of President and doing
it well if called upon. |
|
It was priceless to see MSM throw everything they had at Palin, and thus the narrative is reinforced.
Are undecided voters blind to the different standards? Do they like to see a woman stand up to bullies & not get rattled?
Everything from McPalin is aimed at collecting new votes. Camp Obama still courts the echo chamber.
So sure, keep gunning for Palin. It generates sympathy & keep O off message. Nice. |
|
Your guy couldn't remember how many states he's visited (he said he thought it was 57! one night) and I don't remember Barack being asked half the questions in 20 mos. that Palin has been asked in just two weeks. Barack has ZERO executive experience, outside of being a community organizer (whatever that really means except to say he was a professional protester/rally organizer/leaflet handout kind of guy) and has ZERO legislative accomplishments. Sarah Palin took on big oil BEFORE she had even become governor! Sarah Palin therefore had more executive accomplishments before becoming governor then Barack Obama has accumulated in more than 20 years of pure fluff. Most congressional candidates have more tangible experience/accomplishments than Barack.
Barack is change? How is voting with Ted Kennedy 90% of the time real change.
The bloom has clearly fallen from the rose.
But more importantly, Barack is running against John McCain, not Sarah Palin, and sadly for Barack he is getting "man handled" by the bottom of the ticket.
Oh and Palin has looked far more presidential in her FIRST interview than Mr. Obama has looked in 20 mos. I think your hysteria is betraying your original assertion that Palin bombed, and the fact that you've launched these kinds of tirades on a conservative blog only shows how much of a threat this woman really represents to you, that is, she may single handedly thwart an Obama Presidency - which seems to be quite the obsession for you. |

(Thursday, September, 11, 2008 11:27 PM):
I think Gibson was trying to trap her and frustrated that she didn't fall for anything.
I think that right now the MSM and DNC bigshots are trying to figure out how to get the spin they just couldn't get on this interview.
I predict that they'll resort to the goon squads to rant and rave and namecall--oh, wait, ronnie and georgeroger are already here. See? I was right. |
|
Don't think so Ronnie. Also: It would be interesting to discern your understanding and priorities in "foreign affairs" might be.
I'm guessing it's something like: "Whatever makes Old Europe happy."
Her state actually borders two countries. She has negotiated major oil/resource trade agreements (to Alaskan's benefit I might add) with the Russians and Canadians.
Sarah Palin is real. Barak "um ah um ah um well ah um" Obama is an empty apparition. There is nothing there. Ronnie ... there is nothing there even though folks like YOU project all YOUR arrogant and narcissistic perceived virtues and brilliance upon that blank slate.
The corrupt "corporate" (LOL) media is throwing everything they can at Palin and she, and the ticket, continues to thrive. You're toast. You should just work on your filibuster strategies in the Senate cuz I think you're going to lose the House too. |
|
|
Should be really happy that she's a weak candidate. That she "bombed." Of course, that's why she's being attacked so relentlessly, right? Because of her weakness. It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that she has scared the living bejeezus out of The One and his advisors who up until 2 weeks ago had already coronated their greek god as the head of Mount Olympus. It is so fun to see you guys become even more unhinged than you already are. "The idiot Bush" ran circles around your Reverend once, and then he did it again to your Fearless French Leader as an encore. I can see how Annie Oakley now running circles around The One might be the last straw for you. Take heart though. It's only 4 years. And then you guys get to try again with Hillary. |
|
Ronnie - stay away from sharp objects. I'm voting for McCain/Palin and I thought she did OK - nowhere near as boffo as the convention speech, but nowhere remotely near meltdown/macaca/Goresigh.
She apparently caught ABC research/editing in a misstatement of her recitation of the classic Lincoln prayer lines - I'd blame staff, not Gibson, for that, and apparently ABC is correcting the later broadcast versions of that exchange.
Still in all, the democrat problem remains that Obama is running against her, not McCain - regardless of preferences, that is no way to win an election - you have to defeat your opponent. |
|
|
She did well. I was pleased with her performance. She satisfied my concern that she can hold her own with the likes of Charlie Gibson. In fact, he looked to me like he needed some prune juice. Maybe HE was nervous at being the first to interview Gov Palin. In fact, I find it hard to believe that Charlie would've been as hard on Obama. I thought he was by far more rude to Palin than OReilley was to Obama. I thought OReilley was gracious in that interview. There was no graciousness in Charley Gibson. Hmmmmm....... |
|
Two things impress me about Palin in this interview:
1. She dodged dirty punches (e.g. "the Bush Doctrine", which had no right answer).
2. She didn't just deck this guy, who was doing his best to sink her vs. his ever-so-gentle handling of Obama. (She took nothing from him, though.)
As far as Obama in this kind of interview, not two weeks into his campaign, but now after 18 months? Answer to any question: "Uh, well, it uh depends uh. That's uh that's sort of uh a complicated question. Uh, that's really uh above my paygrade."
And Obama's not running for "a heartbeat away", he's running for the Whitehouse itself! And btw, everyone is still comparing Palin to Obama, not to Biden, and Obama to Palin, not to McCain. Do they know something about how Obama v. McCain or Biden v. Palin comparisons will turn out? |
|
Isn't Charlie Gibson a pompous jackass? The New Ted Baxter!
|
|
but your an idiot. I am concerned about the judgment of the Leftist like yourself and the boob you nominated for President, let alone your VP pick that does not think he is up for the job.
Like most of the other libs, you must be upset about the fact that when it comes down to it, she is probably more of a man than you are.
Georgeroger, sorry but you are a Kos hack. I don't buy the "I am NO Obama fan at all." She has more governing experience the NObama. Please do tell, give us you Kos talking points and tell us what he has done. |
|
|
There are just some people in this country who will use this shocking display of TOTAL IGNORANCE on foreign affairs, and turn it into Sarah Palin's finest moment! "It was brilliant" they will say. Truly, truly frightening. I don't think it's just the Democrats who are fearful....I think there are a few Republicans who might be having a serious case of buyer's remorse. |
|
|
Gibson could not have been more dismissive. I had hoped for a fair and objective inquiry, but found bias and rudeness. If only he could have treated her as respectfully as if he were interviewing Obama or Biden. I expect tough interviews of all the candidates, but only get it for the Republican side. I guess true American journalism really is a thing of the past. |
|
|
Did you fantasize that you were in Matt Damon's arms when you wrote that post? |
|
|
Look, even your comments reveal just how bad she did. "A good, creditable job" in wingnut land usually translates as "OMG, this lady is REALLY DUMB, uh-oh, we may have shot ourselves in the foot!". So, defend her all you want. And believe me, I'm quite aware that there is a segment of our population ( aka "The Republican Base" )that could care less if she knows anything about the "Bush Doctrine", but in here, we all know the score. She's a dangerous dilettante who has no business being anywhere near the WH. |
|
A new star has begun tonite.Sarah Palin handled her abc interview BRILLIANTLY.This on the heals of the numerous gaffes by Obama and Biden in the last few days make it all the more sweet.
The momentum gained last week will escalate even faster now. |
|
McCain has ambition? Good Griefd.
You don't think some meritless, accomplishment-free, media contrived, Chicago corrupt Dem machine leftist wraith with less than two years of indistinguished Senate service who fancies himself qualified to be the leader of the Free World has vainglorious and scary ambition?
Obama has never managed anything in his life as a chief executive. Nor has Biden. At least McCain commanded a wartime air wing and a sizable Pentagon staff. Palin has been an executive of a State with sizable budget, a world market economy and one of THE most active wartime National Guard units.
Get out of ronnieworld. Get in the real world.

Needs to name-call, due to his lack of erudition and paucity of facts to back up what he posts.
No surprise here.
Gov. Palin is obviously a pick for appeasing the extreme Christian right.
OOPS..... what about ACTUALLY governing? Something the Republican Party neglects to address.
IMAGINE her as President.... TRULY terrifying.
And...I am NO Obama fan at all. BUT...Palin a heartbeat away from the Oval ?
NO WAY. |
|
Sarah Palin did a good, creditable job with a veteran newsman who was trying very hard to land a knockout blow. She stood up well.
Ronnie's comment displys the presumptive hatred on the left for Palin and all conservatives. It defies logic and good sense. The liberal candiadte is toast! Start queing up the "Wreck of the Edmund Obama" |
|
President, if he was intentionally drilled with tough questions in an interview like this, I seriously doubt he would have done as well. It took him 18 months to get up the nerve to face a tough interview, which by the way, was last week on the O'Reilly factor. To be fair, I think Obama did pretty good. I also think Sarah did pretty good tonight too.
Look, conservatives and liberals have already made up their minds. Conservatives will love and defend her speech. Liberals like ronnie above will attack it.
Everyone should WATCH the interview themselves, and make up their own mind.
It's the independents that matter the most. I mean real independents, the ones in the middle, not the far-left and far-right loons that claim to be "independent".
