Palin on the Charlie Gibson interview

[pontooner]

I respectfully disagree.

It doesn't scare me at all. What scares me is Barry and Joe. Neither of them have had any executive decision making or on the job training. Do they? If so help me out and tell me when either of them have been in charge of a city or state. Heck, Barry has barely done anything in the Senate! He is a lame duck. He has no experience, zilch, nada and people are worried about a V.P. candidate with more experience than Barry who is running for President? Is it because she is a woman? How does that make sense? I think the Libs are barking up the wrong tree and it tears them up that Sarah is more popular than the "Barry" and they have spent MILLIONs building his "character". Yep I said character as in false, made up and built for the show of politics.

Why did Barry choose Joe? I'll tell you, he needed to silence the nay sayers on his lack of experience with foreign policies, Hillary was the best choice hands down. McCain has that nailed down so he needed an equal to Barry and his star factor....he got it and then some.
This election is not about the most qualified or best candidate from any party. This election has turned into a "celebrity show" and I maintain thats what the Libs wanted from the beginning which is why they elected a black man from the start. There is no legit argument on this because he is not qualified in the least to run anything but a public speaking school or selling used cars.

I'm not happy with the election so don't get me wrong but to ignore what is really going on and to buy into the Lib media blitz about Barry is crazy. I want to hear how the illegal immigrant problem will be solved. I want to hear that my taxes will not be raised to help the national deficit payoff....lets cut spending instead!!! In my opinion illegals are the worst problem we have. The millions spent on them in healthcare and the influx of the cheap labor is killing this economy more than anything else. JMHO

"Is it because she is a woman" You do realize Hilliary was almost the Democratic nominee and 99.9% of Dems would have been fine with it.
I posted what I said about her based on the Charlie Gibson interviews.

You call Obama a used car salesman but Palin is the greatest thing ever with her one speech at the Pub convention.

Ahh you bit on the Obama is celerbity ad did you and then state the Libs turned it into "celebrity show". Nice one

I guess being a Maverick, Hockey Mom or good ol' boy is what gets you elected now and god forbid if your intelligent, articulate............ and know the issues because your called a elitist. You think we would have learned our lesson after GWB.

Watch them being interviewed and listen to their answers without objective ears and tell me who has a better grasp of how things work even if you don't agree with the direction they want to go.

Can't wait for the debates to begin so we can get to the issues.

[DJD]

Pontooner,
You have proven my point, Barry has no experience, he is just a speech master. He knows the issues? He has had two years of training and if the telepromter breaks he is a lost puppy. You could know as much as him with the constant teachings of the Dems and their beliefs. Old Step-on-all-of-us had to correct him in a recent interview twice when Barry was calling himself a Muslim again! He stammers and looks lost, come on man you have seen it if you follow politics at all. Tell me about his tax plans and then explain how history has proven that what he wants to do to us does not work. How does that work now? I have watched and read so much about Barry that I know he is nothing more than a puppet for the Libs.

I realize Hillary is a woman and because of that the Libs picked Barry who is no where near as qualified as her. The Libs are about as hipocritical as it gets when it comes to women. They want women to be equal but not when they are Conservative because that ruins their victim game that they want women to latch onto. Just like they do with minorities of this country.

You didn't read my reply very well...I told you why she was picked and I never said she was the greatest. She is the best pick to help get McCain elected and it hurts the Libs that McCain beat them at their own game....shoulda picked Hillary!!

Heck man I don't need either party telling me when I see a scam on the american people via the Liberal media. Just watch and read about Barry and you will find an underlying thread from his fellow libs of how his speeches are what people are attracted too not his policies. He loves himself so much that he has to have GRAND stadiums for his speeches, his own seal and liberal media follow him around all the time to document his every move.

If Barry was your neighbor and you knew his associations with hate mongers, corrupt real estate dealing, terrorists and shady slum lords would you want to be his friend? Would you go to his church and listen to J.W.? Would you let your kids go to his church? I think not. Why in the world is he good enough to have the most powerful job in the world?

I agree, lets get to the debates! Barry has refused to debate McCain many times in the past but now there is no more hiding! hagd

[MsgMills]

I'll just go on the record as backing every word DJD has stated on this thread.....Obama is only the puppet sitting on the knee of the Democratic Party......Saying exactly what they tell him to say "PERIOD"......

[pontooner]

Let me tell you a story about a puppet, a puppet that I once had some respect for.

The once mighty maverick who was disliked by many in his own party because he took a stand for things he didn't agee with is now comletely on board because he knows it's his only chance at getting elected. He supposedly wanted to go with Tom Ridge for V.P. because he thought he was the best choice but had Pailn pushed on him to pull votes. Now tell me who is having their strings pulled.

All I ever hear is McCain was in the military, POW............. and he will protect us. Did he learn how the economy works, the education system.......... while he was serving? Anyone with half a brain that witnessed 9/11 knows the country needs protecting and to think the next President (whoever it is) is going to over look it is insane.

Let's see McCain left his partially didabled wife for a younger richer one (that stole drugs from a charitable organziation), ever hear of the Keating five scandal and lets not talk about some of the things that have came out of the mouths of the relgious right that supports McCain because it spews with just as much hate as anything Wright has said. We can sling mud all day if you want but I would prefer to stick to the issues and the responces we've head from the canidates being interviewed as was the purpose of this thread.

Did you watch the whole interview where the "My muslim faith" thing that was corrected or just the clip that was youtubed because if you did you would know that George was wrong to correct him because he meant to say it and was giving McCain a complement for not saying he was Muslim. Good grief where do you get your info?

Go start a Obama ***** thread if you don't want to disscuss Palins poor interview skills here and I will join in because I'm not posting anymore here defending Obama or bashing McCain. "Period"

[DJD]

I'll say this, I get my info from constant news media at work and at home. Both CNN and FOX most of the time. Noone will win slinging mud on here especially when you feel the way you do about Barry and I feel the way I do about Barry. I think he is a fake and I feel sorry for the people who buy into his fabricated character. I really didn't mean to get your blood pressure up it's just cyber sparring, no harm intended.

Do you really feel that was a poor interview? She did well for her first interview as the VP nominee. Aside from that are you 100% on board with Barry and his economic plan? Tax the rich and small business owners and raise the capitol gains tax to get the economy going. Does that work?

Don't just drop bombs and run you were right in there with the hits on McCain and Palin. I guess it's ok to sparr when we follow your rules huh? You can drop the topic if you want to take your ball and go home it's your choice. Like I said no harm done. hagd

[pontooner]

What you said didn't even come remotely close to getting my blood pressure up. I love a little competive banter on the interwebs.

And yes I thought her interview was really that bad. People keep using the excuse well I don't even know what the Bush Doctrine is, well your not going to possibly be the next V.P.

She scares me with her talk about Iran, she had no clue about the troubles of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Reports of her abusing her power while in office. She can see Russia from Alaska, Woohoooo!!!

Also I'm wasn't trying to "to take my ball and go home", I started this post with a little joke about the Palin interview and was tring to get it back on track. I suggested you start a Obama bashing post and I would join in.

[DJD]

Yeah she was caught off guard with a few questions but I really think that once she learns the proper answers she will be as good or better than Barry. It's a shame that it comes down to how you present these canned answers in interviews that can make people feel good about you. The polls really show that most people like her so she is doing ALOT right, can't argue with that. Don't forget she isn't a Washington regular that has hundreds of lifelong political leeches all around her so she isn't as polished...yet!

I like her, she is so much more in line with my point of view on what is right. Her approval rating in Alaska is off the charts and all her elections have been landside wins, that also speaks volumes. You can listen to the Libs trying to beat her down (because they are scared) but I'll believe the thousands of voters in Alaska. Man this family could be the family down the street, they have their issues like we all do and people identify with that.

I never liked Charlie Gibson and now I like him even less. His interview was ok at best and child like at worst. I don't think he displayed much respect to her and his body language was proof of that. He looked like a parent giving his child the facts of life! Like I said before if you were leaning her way before all it did was firm up your beliefs for her.

Time will tell how strong she is as the media tries to tear her down but I maintain that it will backfire. How can they pick on a woman who is a Governor, who has 5 kids, a special needs kid, a great mom with the love of God in her heart? Man they are picking on a giant here since this isn't about politics at this point it's personal.....

[Bobby Headrick]

I agree with DJD about the " celebrity circus going on" like I have said other times this is a show not an election, we have no real choice for pres and that is sad as this country is in a mess and we have no one to really lead us. Palin does not have the experiance neither does Obama, McCain is too old, so you all seriousally think that if something happens to McCain that Palin can lead us. WRONG. This scares the crap out of me. We will have to wait till Nov to see who the " next american idol" is. And this show will be over. This is the most screwed up election I have ever seen and it comes at the worst time ever. Both the parities have failed us, as politics have won over common sense.

This guy is an idiot. Defend one side and knock on the other for the same thing.

I never though any less of Palin or her Daughter for getting pregnant. Kids make mistakes. This is not near the circus as it would have been if the roles were reversed. The conservative right would have had a field day spewing thier morals, religious and ethical views in our face had it been the daughter of a liberal that was in the same situation. I can hear it now the lack of morals that liberals have lead directly to this.

MsgMills you should just go play in the street or something because you bring nothing to any argument when you post. Seriously if you like that kind of slander/talk coming from either side then something is wrong with you.

Not once has Palin's daughter being pregnant been brought into the arguments posted in this thread and I could care less about her being pregnant myself.

Now back to the topic and away from the soap opera.

DJD here's a well written Palin story that shows she is a little more of a typical politician than you give her credit for and points out a few other interesting things.

Also DJD I'm glad you found a VP that fits in with your views but I see most of them having little place in politics myself. JMHO
