    If she is "the ideological heir to President Ronald Reagan" then why wont she talk to reporters?
    Where is her amzaing powers of.....??? Does she have any? She said she was a "pitbull in lipstick"
    Why is she hiding behind a veil of secrecy?
    Sure... call people names. Swear at them and make yourself feel better. However, that does address the fact that she is hiding, as ordered.

      Just as President Reagan did, she speaks past the reporters directly to the people.

    You know, it's just amazing. The bottom line is that McCain is a patriot. He loves his country. Obama is not only "an empty suit", he's got an agenda. Control at the interest of himself, not his country. Anyone that doesn't see THAT is an idiot. Oh yeah, he's smooth and a star f'er and all that but...PRESIDENT? No way. And where are the Joe Biden interviews with Charlie Gibson? The liberal media is running this election, as usual. Sarah Palin has been downright abused by the bleeding heart liberal activists who have interviewed her. And BTW, what makes everyone so sure McCain will be dead 5 minutes after he's inaugurated? Have you SEEN his mother?It's preposterous to assume. What makes anyone think that Joe Biden would make such a wonderful Prez? BO could be hit by a bus at any given moment...

      Reading such nonsense is almost as entertaining as hearing Sarah Palin spout gibberish. And that's the truth. Thank you for a good laugh.

    So...you think Sarah Palin is NOT ready to be VP? Do I have news for you my friend! Obama is NOT any closer to being Commander and Chief!
    You reporting is so one-sided it makes me SICK! Shame on you!

    • Posted By: DaNoot @ 09/27/2008 8:04:07 PM

      What's one-sided? He commented on Sarah Palin's performance in the media, one of the things he is employed to do. You want to compare her to Obama? On what criteria - education, speaking ability, knowledge of the issues, executive and political experience? Obama crushes her on every count. (See his résumé elsewhere in this forum) What's one-sided?

    McCain's disdain for America and the American voter is shown by nothing so much as his choice of Miss Congeniality as his successor. The man is old beyond his years. The man has stage III cancer. The likelihood of his living another four years is probably less than 50%. And he names as his successor a brain-dead beauty queen? It's not MissSarah's fault that she isn't up to the job, it's McCain's.

      Something tells me she has it coming. When she gets back Alaska she is toast.I'm starting to believe the enquirer stories after hearing her talk.

  • Posted By: Bone Dry @ 09/27/2008 8:02:53 PM

    All you true believer republicans: How come your patriot hero will not release his medical records for review? Here we have a very old man, old beyond his advanced years, with a major, recurring cancer. A man who has chosen a marginal moron to succeed him in the event of his death. And he won't even let the voters see how sick he really is? Tell me, how can you accept that? How can you let him get away with that and not so much as ask what he is hiding? Can he really want to be president so badly that he is willing to bargain away America's future to get there?

    This country has had to endure 8 years of the guy everyone wants to "have a beer with". I personally would like my president (and VP) to be intelligent, extremely intelligent. The whole hockey mom, lipstick thing is kind of cute and folksy and all, but we are talking about the leaders of the free world here, not some vote for who should be the grand marshall in the 4th of July parade. If Sarah Palin were a man, there is a zero, zero, zero chance she would have been selected to be the VP candidate. Even is she WAS a quick study, she thinks dinosaurs were around 4,000 years ago. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't let her allow her in a classroom much less be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

    • Posted By: TeeCee @ 09/27/2008 7:59:52 PM

      Intelligent?: "When the stock market crashed FDR got on television."......?? - Joe Biden. If Sarah said this it would make headlines on ABC,NBC,CBS,etc. Also when K Couric asked J Biden what accomplishments did Obama achieve as US Senator and what specific actions as US Senator would qualify him to be president there was silence. (Actually Couric never asked Biden this question for obvious reasons, but you get the drift) . Probably what rivals Palin's comment about living next to Russia is his comment that he has more experience than Sarah bcause he hasw Been running for president for 18 months. That had to be the most laughable moronic quote of all time and HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!! - that is scary.

    Reading Ditcatcher's comments displays exactly why McCain/Palin are such a danger to the nation. Notice in Ditcatcher's comments the outright lies ("they call our troops killers "), the poor grammar indicating poor education, and a lack of basic logic. Obama's experience is clear in his ability to speak clearly, and give detailed answers to complex problems. Palin, it's clear, can't. GOPer like Ditcatcher must be stopped.

    • Posted By: george abrahams @ 09/27/2008 7:59:40 PM

      "must be stopped." That sounds very foreboding. Please explain how.

  • Posted By: Bone Dry @ 09/27/2008 7:57:28 PM

    Wake up yeecenan. The man has stageIII cancer! His chances of living another four years are not good. If for no other reason than that, he should have looked to someone with the stature and experience to run the country as his VP. But no, he goes for some bimbo that he thinks will appeal to disguntled Hillary voters. Shows how out of touch he is with what the Hillary voters represent on the one hand, and how much he disdains the American people on the other. Hero? Patriot? No way. The man is a self-serving egoist in love with his self-image as a shoot-from-the-hip maverick. More frightening than a posse of Bushmen.

  • Posted By: seekingworldlywisdom @ 09/27/2008 7:56:58 PM

    Heaven forbid if McCain becomes president and something happen to him - chances are...Very High, we'll have a President Palin that has no idea what's the hell is going on other than Alaska. I'm a Republican and I won't vote for McCain. The war is wrong, continue won't make it right. Bush is dumb Chenny is Evil and Big Oil company are killing the earth.

    couldnt agree more. thanks for saying it

  • Posted By: rikenheimer @ 09/27/2008 7:54:38 PM

    you liberals don't like her because she stands for the truth and that's something that you left-wingers just don't get, or want to.

  • Posted By: fayetek @ 09/27/2008 7:53:47 PM

    Thank you for saying what so many of us think, but do not have the expertise or exposure potential on this vital matter. Sarah Palin was chosen to supposedly attract women (moms just like her) to vote for the Republican ticket. She is not prepared for this. She has a lack of general knowledge about important issues. Prepping her is not going to give her what she needs to be a viable vice presidential candidate. Shame on John McCain for even considering her. She is flattered and ambitious, but (to paraphrase Dr. Phil) "What was she thinking?" She is a mother of five children with some pretty significant needs: who will come first - family or the governing of the USA? The fact she is a mother is not qualification enough!!! Does John McCain actually believe this is a maverick move on his part? Does he think all women have "Stupid" on their foreheads?

  • Posted By: Grace Farley @ 09/27/2008 7:53:14 PM

    Perhaps you should do a little research on Sweden and Japan, and the bailouts they had to do in the 1990's. Then re-read Palin's remarks with a little more insight.

    the truth hurts for you liberals. I could go on & on but you liberals just don't get it.

  • Posted By: Stickoutyourneck @ 09/27/2008 7:51:34 PM

    What did she say???? I read the words and understand NOTHING!!

  • Posted By: Bone Dry @ 09/27/2008 7:51:26 PM

    Imagine if we were reading a comic novel and the old warrior, wannabepresident character chooses a moronic beauty queen for his VP candidate to appeal to the brain-dead masses. You'd laugh the author out of the room. But here, in the real world. that's exactly what has happened. And, what responses? The moronic right basks in the inanity of his choice. One can only assume that these masochists enjoy the pain their heroes inflict on them.

  • Posted By: goshentoyo @ 09/27/2008 7:51:16 PM

    I am a democrat who admires mccain but since he made this choise, I have lost all respect for him. this is a selfish choice

  • Posted By: r-in-austin-tx @ 09/27/2008 7:50:49 PM

    "Drink the kool aid," "elitist," "messiah?" Republicans are robots who repeat the same talking points they were fed from their leaders talking points that they were fed from the machine and Rove. If anyone is drinking Kool Aid it's the people who can willfully and stubbornly support two awful candidates that simply cancel events to avoid being seen as the bumbling idiots they are. I am looking for truth and Obama is saying what I've said alone and against the machine for years. I didn't get it fed it me- it's common sense. I can think for myself. Can ANYONE tell me why they ARE voting for McCain and Palin? Cause I'm tired of hearing simply why they won't vote for Obama. That's Kool Aid for you-- stubborn and belligerent. I guess I better use smaller words for the Repubs who will call me a "professor" or "elitist." Stubborn is when you don't do stuff jest cawz yoo won't do it. It meens thayerz no good reesin why yoo shoodint do it but yoo still wont.
    Where did my country go? Once upon a time, intellect (good thinkin's) was a commodity (an asset or good stuff). Now it's a notch against you as a candidate? WOW. We really ARE as dumb as other countries think we are. If you don't know what Obama is saying could it be because you're not very smart? Howz about you let us thinkin' tipes run the cuntree and you and the dreenkin tipes can do the huntin? Palin will be my first vote for your kweena huntin.

    I was appalled when McCain picked Palin. Now, I actually feel sorry for her. McCain campaign did nothing more than use her to help his failing campaign, and since his campaign staff has been so busy just trying to keep up with his erratic and emotional responses to issues of the day, they haven't been able to properly assist this woman. Don't misunderstand me; sympathy does not get my vote. But heaven sakes, the poor lady is so out of her league it is really sad indeed. Not to mention a direct reflection of McCains poor judgement and lack of leadership.
