Post-Debate Thread 3
By Matthew Weaver on October 3, 2008 at 12:30 AM in Debates, Joe Biden, Media Handling of Story, Sarah Palin
SusanUnPC here: I can’t resist adding what Dick Morris, ordinarily NOT one of my favorite people in the world, said about Sarah Palin’s performance — he got it right:
This was an unbelievable win. In fact, I think it unveils a level of skill in communication that I really have not seen since Ronald Reagan.
She is a superstar. Her ability to bypass the conventional wisdom of Washington, her ability to speak a tone, a genre, a style that was so authentic and so outside of the mainstream was just unbelievable. And Biden looked like he was on downers. I mean, every time he was talking, I kept wishing that I could hear Palin instead.
Original:
Game Changer? Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on what is next.
How about the media? Everything they’ve told us about Governor Palin over the past month has been shown to be wrong. She spoke at the debate tonight to the American people. What are the media to do?
Who did you watch before the debate and, now, after the debate? How are their discussions matching your own impressions of the debate?

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
I agree with Noonan. Palin has a real gift for speaking. This is the kind of talk people can relate to.
Did you watch and of the follow-up discussions, which channels, and what did you think about their coverage?
PBS: Her words weren’t what you are used to from a candidate, but the public may like it (elitist drivel)
NBC: Williams and Brokaw: She rocked
ABC: She did very well, but gave the wrong name of the US general for Afghanistan.
Everybody had kind words for her, even the elitists who want to be snobs. They know people will like this, and they can’t be on the wrong side of that opinion.
CBS and CNN supposedly have polls showing people felt Biden won debate. Luntz’ FOX poll has overwhelming Palin victory.
My immediate reaction to the debate I just put on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BARSS6omLLo
Nice video. Thank you.
Thanks, Pink Panther, and everyone else, for your kind words.
Here is a link to ‘digg’ the video, and help make sure it spreads all around the internet. Please go and ‘Digg’ this video to help us fight against the lies of the mainstream media:

Please also favorite and pass the video along to your friends. We have to fight back against the Chuck Todds of the world and their garbage spin.
Thanks so much for all you do, Paul. The link to the debate here is much appreciated since I was so fatigued by watching my IRA dwindle to 2/3 of its value that I went to bed early sucking my thumb in numbness!
Beebop. LesleeE — thanks so much. Glad the link to the full debate helped, Beebop.
New Sarah Palin TV ad from Our Country Deserves Better Political Action Committee:
Sarah’s a Fighter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feFEdctTF4
Great follow-up, Paul. The ads always give me a thrill. All these years we never asked any questions about why a guy … why all of a sudden is this the issue?
Has anyone heard about Free Press?
Check this site out. It has a “Rate the Debates” feature and posts the findings. Anyone can sign up…
They are supposed to be nonpartisan. With the terrible media bias, it could be a good place to get our voices heard.
http://www.freepress.net/debates
The best comment I heard about the market was that they had two positions in this market…..CASH and Fetal!
Terrific Paul, as always. Thank you.
Thanks Paul! That was great!
she didnt give the wrong name she said Gen. McKiernan.
the commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.
McCain really said he would not meet with Spain’s leader? That’s a NATO member?
Did the secret service have to screen circus clowns to roll out of a car that drives to his campaign podium when he says it?
this new guy in spain hates us
That is not at all true, Zapatero is an excellent leader and has a lot of integrity, poise and is a very respectful person. He did pull the troops from Iraq, just as he promised during the campaign.
The Spanish people DO NOT like Bush, though.
BS, Zapatero hates the US…he has no respect for our soldiers or our flag…just for starters.
Early in office he made trips to Venezuela, the bastard single-handedly legitimized Chavez.
I love Zapatero. He really showed Bush as the fool he is. The people of Spain are great and they love him.
Well if you started an illegal war and they sent troops, and you totally turned everything five directions toward bumfucked, and train bombings were done after that and were credited to your participation, would you be extremely happy?
Maybe he’s not mad, he’s really Gladio to meet us.
mr murder…
Gov Palin was all over the bobo’s bullpucky last night.
watch the polls.
McCain/Palin….the next surge to victory.
deal with it.
Thanks very much for this, Lombardi. I heard Stephonopolous spouting this line.
Brand new McCain ad capitalizing on the debate. It hits Biden solidly. It’s called ‘Lies and Sighs:’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOQgEHPHo8A
Super ad … using nothing but his “record.”
Good job, Paul.
Great video. Thanks!
Palin was brilliant! She does much better when half of what she says does not end up on the cutting floor as it did in the Gibson and Couric interviews. The big losers following this debate were Couric and Gibson. Boy, are they exposed. I hope she and McCain win. If not, maybe CBS would like to have a real star sitting in the evening news chair!
Yes, but all the commentators on PBS, even the Democrats, said she did a great job and her performance was a winner.
Thanks Paul Villarreal – I’m glad someone watched the same debate that I did. After reading some of the polls (msnbc,cnn and cbs for starters) I was beginning to wonder if the voting was about the same debate that I watched. I agree with everything you said and appreciate your video. I want everyone to see it. Dick Morris also gave a glowing report, I’m sure you know. This lady has class with a capital C. She is one of us – REAL and authentic.
CNN was really dissapointing. They always have to put a condition on McCain/Palin and a create a context favorable to Obama. It doesn’t help when they have people like Roland Martin giving debate analysis. It was terrible. MSNBC gave more fair coverage with Pat Buchanan and Roger Simon. Olbermann actually had Hawaii Republican Governor praising Palin.
CNN: Give credit where credit is due!
Do you think CNN will ever put a disclaimer on Roland Martin? He’s worse than Brazille in his biases and push for Obama. His shared Chicago ties with Rev. Meeks and others should put his very role on air under scrutiny.
Martin is even more compromised than Gwen Ifill, which is really saying something.
I thing that Moderator Gwen Ifill was good, even I dont like to have someone so much so bis, and cashing on book about Obama(possible).
Sarah Palin was great, and I wish She is not Republican, I will give Her my vote in 1000%!!!
I quickly heard Anderson Cooper refer to Martin as an Obama supporter last night, only once but I was suprised
Governor Lingle has a much stronger resume than Gov Palin. If she was as hot she would be the VP nominee.
That like Hillary getting passed over for Obama’s VP slot, or was that just in a whole different category of idiocy by Bams?
Roland Martin is just AWFUL. There is no denying that Palin did a terrific job. Her performance gives me new hope.
Me too Sugar….I was so proud of her!
coming from you is a compliment. thanks for the video. i wanted to comment but typad subs is very complicated.
Roland reminds me of a spoiled child. I haven’t ever looked into his back ground but I wouldn’t be surprized if he was spoiled ass rotten.
Roland is nothing but BIG MOUTH!!! Crying Baby and liar. Look how Anderson Coopre slows down in His attacks!!! He is a woos!!!
When Roland Martin starts to speak, I push MUTE on the remote, and then wait until the next commenter.
Same with that ole fart Carl Bernstein.
Coupla hacks.
Maybe MSNBC is angry that Obama told his followers to watch the last debate on CNN in his text message, so I guess now CNN might replace MSNBC as the new Obama network?
their ratings are not that great…no one wants to watch O-tv all the time. yawn.
I haven’t watched CNN for some time now. Since they were always in the bag for Obama,when Clinton was running…Thats why Fox is 4th and CNN near the bottom…I don’t believe there polls,I’m sure they must have there staff call in.imo.lol They had Biden winning the debate,and as far as I’m concerned Palin won,by a long shot, and payment will be the big pay off in November..I think Obama will bancrupt America.
taxes on all companies living USA, and 12 billions a month for occupation on Iraq, it will keep billions of dollars just montly in USA!!!They dont have to tax big businessess in USA, just to save those billions, AND MILLIONS OF JOBS. Now, someone is asking about helping other countries aroud the world, but now is the time” START HELPING AMERICA FOR A WHILE” AND YO PUT USA AND US FIRST. THOSE COUNTIES CAN NOT STAND USA, BUT SURE YHEY WANT OUR HELP. TIME TO SAY “NO” TO THEM , YOU ARE YOUR OWN IT IS TIME FOR AMERICA TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE, WHO ARE PAYING TO HELP OTHERS AND RECEIVE IN RETURN “HATE”!!!GET ALL THOSE ILLEHELS OUR FROM USA, AND WE WILL HAVE SO MANY JOBS FOR US. IT IS SO SIMPLE, JUST HAVE TO DO IT. CLOSE SOUTH BORDERS, ADD MORE GUARDS ALL OVER USA, AND WE WILL BE JUST FINE. OT IS SIMPLE, DONT NEED THOUSAN PAGES TO DO IT, AND KEEP PORK PROGRAMS FROM 700 BILLIONS BAIL OUT!!!!!
bUSINESS WITH CHINA, AND WHAT WE GETS; POISONING OUR KIDS,US,OUR ANIMALS, MEDICINE, how much longer we wil be sitting quietly and letting those businesses destroy our economy and our health. our medicine must be made strictly in USA. we can not bring medicine from Canada, but they are fidding us with poisenous medicine from china!!!
The same feeling I had after Palin’s convention acceptance speech is the same exact feeling I have now. She captured America in this debate the same way she did in her first real national speech. I expect the polls to go up and the race will be tied up statistically.
*On Dick Morris: the hell with him, even if he makes a fair point on the debate. That ass took yet another swipe at Hillary while praising Palin.
His hatred of the Clintons reminds me of Olbermann’s hatred of O’Reilly – totally irrational. But the toe-sucker does sometimes make some good points. I did notice a few Reaganisms in her answers. Hopefully the Reagan democrats liked what they heard.
JOE BIDEN’S 14 LIES TONIGHT
1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.
2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.
3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”
4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.
5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.
6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.
7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people’s health insurance coverage — they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false
8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska — she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it’s not a windfall profits tax.
9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.
10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation — he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won’t pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.
Way to go “I have a bracelet 2″ – thanks – I couldn’t bear to watch the after debate attack squads so I get my info here.
With respect for your diligence, I doubt that this list will be too effective, mostly because it’s too obviously over-the-top partisan.
Consider. What you’re saying is that the Democratic candidate for VP—a distinguished member of the Senate—blurted out 14 lies in a public debate, and you were the only one clever enough to spot all these incredible, blatant lies. The only people who will believe it are people who pretty much hate Democrats. They’ll like it…but these are not the ones we need to convince.
Also, when they look down the list, people will see that very few items on the list are actual lies. They seem to be exaggerations, inaccuracies, and differences of interpretation. Calling it a list of lies is itself a lie—ouch!
There you go again …
When is an exageration not a lie? When we tell it? Please, Perry. Take some time off for yourself and look for your soul.
C’mon Perry…Even you have to admit that Palin has the same kind of charisma St. Reagan had…No Wonder the GOP is energized…She won over a big chunk of the working class…imho
Artist … what part of the Big D do you reside in? When I left I was in Oak Cliff … and am now back in Ohio ….
Hey Bee….I live in he historic gayborhood of Oak Lawn….chuckle…which is rapidly being overrun by Yuppes ( sigh ) A lot of Gays and Artists have been developing Bishop Arts District in Oak Cliff. Anyway you cut it the only place I can afford to live is still Oak Lawn. Thought Palin did great. She reminded me Sooo much of Reagan it was uncanny. I mean I have been a democrat all my life ( although I will impersonate a republican this seaon since fascists have taken over the party )…anyway there was sooo much I hated about Reagan’s policies But I could not help but LIKE him…and Palin has that quality. I never liked GWB thought he was a classic PUTZ in that fratboy sort of way..a real poseur dumbass. But Palin comes across as sincere and authentic. Hate to say it but the democrats could have used that quality with Hillary Clinton who showed the same caring and toughness throughout the campaign…
FOX news had commentary right after the debate claiming numerous outright lies by Biden confirmed by independent sources. As if it was just made up here. Get a clue.
What? You’re under the influence of some mind altering substance (beyond kool-aid) I know we’ve been living in an alternative reality for 2 years where everything O says is true and the media refuses to cover his uh,uh,uh,uh stumbling bumbling untrue comments so they never happened. Where have you been for 25 years, Biden’s (lying, fake) mouth has been well mocked since the beginning.
Biden lies in debate: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ODQ4OTBhZjZhMDMwNWFhOTg5N2Y4MmE2M2QyY2NkNjM
Go check out this mornings articles. There are several pointing out Biden’s lies and exaggerations.
Just because O’s leg-huh,uh,uh,humping, panting media refuses to cover it, it never happened? uh,uh,uh,uhs sure…..
P.S. here’s Jake Tapper mocking you. Dork it up, kid. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/10/the-obama-08-ip.html
If you don’t want to give O a hit, don’t bother going to Jake’s link… it takes you to O’s site.
Thank you. I am going to share this list with others. The CNN analysts compliment Biden for substance, having no clue the facts were WRONG. They criticize the absence of facts, and unknowingly complimented lies. They showed tonight they know LESS than Palin.
Maybe the people on CNN were on some kind of illegal “substance” to think that this guy can open his mouth without exaggerating. He was like smirking and grinning like a moron. And when he cried, I thought that was a “I have a bracelet too” moment. If Palin or Hillary cried, it would have been on replay 24/7.
One of the writers on Town Hall is using your list. You should charge her for your research!!!!!
It appears the Obama networks are really downplaying her performance. What a surprise. Poor Keith asked what you should do if someone doesn’t directly answer the question. I thought he was banned from debate coverage. Also, I am learning to ignore the polls. I voted over and over in the CNN poll. How could anyone trust that? The bots are in control, so we have to stay focused on the end result. I am Dem chair for Mac in my town and will be running my second print ad. Any suggestions? Am thinking about “Mortgage-gate”.
Teddy –
Do you create the ads? Just curious.
What size of town and media coverage area for your ad? What make-up of voters? Very importantly, who are your undecideds or leaners that might be swayed by your ad? No sense writing an ad that preaches to the choir.
Democratic housing policies brought America the subprime mortgage crisis.
don’t vote for more of the same. America can’t afford another housing crisis.
How about “never again.”
Too simplistic and somewhat incorrect. The goal of extending housing opportunities to people who might not otherwise qualify for a home loan is a respectable and important goal. If the only problem was that some folks got in over their heads, fine, pick up the tab for the effort.
But that turns out to not be the problem. When companies were allowed to set up unrealistic interest rates and then sold the mortgages to companies that raded them like stocks it magnified the risk made to get people into homes.
Finally, Congress then balked at any changes. I watched a whole series of clips lately with members of Congress berating any suggestion there might be a problem and that changes might be needed.
Maybe I’m be too simplistic as well, but I think the goals were valid and needed but Congress failed to manage the risk and how these risky mortgages were traded.
I don’t think you’re being too simplistic.
In fact, I was under the impression that this all got started because banks/lenders often discriminated against minorities based on race and not necessarily income. There were always cases where whites with similar income and credit got mortgages and blacks didn’t.
How it turned into a situation where people were able to get mortgages when realistically they would never be able to pay them, I’ll never understand.
The idea/goal should be a level playing field. And remember, the buyers are not profiting, they are being exploited for profit.
Big difference.
Anyway, no way this should have gotten out of hand. And I hold the US Congress, both Parties responsible.
Heck if the gov’t is in the business of just giving people houses that they can’t afford, then I want mine, too.
I seriously can’t believe that was the idea. The idea was to let the fat cats get fatter by eschewing regulation and looking the other way.
And I really don’t think that’s being simplistic.
We’re blaming the victims here. The buyers, like drug addicts were enabled and for very greedy reasons.
Ultimately, the banks/lenders, our elected officials are responsible.
You may wish to check out the This American Life episode about the mortgage crisis, the Giant Pool of Money. Its thesis is that because of an expanded pool of money chasing investment in American mortgage-backed securities, there was immense pressure to give out mortgages at nearly any cost. Everyone was making money on the scheme until it all collapsed in and they weren’t any more.
This was a fairly recent phenomenon that occurred with the rise of the Chinese and Indian economy who added their new economic muscle to the worldwide Pool of Money chasing investments.
Nowhere is the Community Reinvestment Act or minority homeowners mentioned.
http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1242
The reason prices for Houses increased so much was the increase in demand, made possible by the Mortgage companies giving anyone a loan without a downpayment or the ability to repay the loan down the road.
Republicans controlled all three branches of government from 2000-2006.
The housing crisis is their baby.
http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2008/10/misunderstandin.html
Not according to Bill Clinton.
Perry, you’re sounding like our very partisan Speaker of the House.
REALLY. I watched Clinton’s tape from ABC.
I think I’ll trust the Big Dawg before I’d trust our little idealogue named Perry Logan.
Thank you very much.
The Republicans were blocked by the DEMS. You need 60 votes to avoid a filibuster, S 190, the Bill McCain co-sponsered, came out of Committee on a straight Party line vote, but the DEMS told them they would Filibuster and the Republicans couldn’t get the 60 votes to overcome that, end of story.
Hit Obama on the infanticide issue. And Ayers, and Odinga.
The abortion agenda is a loser. Go start an abortion forum elsewhere, Paul. Maybe you can even post gruesome pictures along with your dictation to women about their wombs, bodies and families.
A large majority of Americans support a woman’s God-given right to abortion.
But they do not support an infant being left to die. You are a MAN talking about what WOMEN believe. How the HELL would you know? Ever been late? Ever had an abortion? Waiting to hear ……
Your point is taken that it’s presumptuous for a man to talk about abortion. Like most white guys, I just can’t shut my piehole.
In the words of Gloria Steinham, “If men had babies, abortion would be a sacrament.”
It is above your pay grade to make any kind of non-comment to Paul’s original comment regarding the infanticide issue.
I don’t believe this is a “god” given right.
Now really!
As if either Gloria or Perry would know ….
OK, ya got me. I was thinking of the gun guys, who say guns are a “God-given right.” If guns are God-given, so are abortions.
Since no one here said anything about guns, your flippant comment is not material.
Nor is GS as any sort of authority for “women.”
And let’s not forget: pro-lifers are murderers.
Pro-lifers kill people and blow up abortion clinics every year. They are America’s worst domestic terrorists
Again, I am wondering how you got so far away from Paul’s original post. You have really learned to think like a bot, Perry and it shows in your posts. You might need some down time to readdress the ability to stay on topic.
We’re were discussing how well the infanticide issue would work, and I’m giving reasons why it might not work. It’s an issue that flies only with a narrow segment of people.
Your posts are bot answers. You haven’t address the original issue … first it was …. but but but “everyone” supports abortion. Then its guaranteed … then Gloria … then pro-lifers are murders … and is that, too, Perry? Are you equating women who seek abortions with pro-life terrorists? Your logic has disintigrated in all of your dissembling. You can no longer stay on topic. Too bad. You used to be sort of interesting.
Every comment that I’ve seen by Perry is a dig at conservatives or Republicans.
Perry also makes digs at Obamacrats; he’s right in many instances.
You must be a liberal. Really dumb comment.
Be careful. People who hate liberals tend to be degenerates.
Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mussolini, and Rush Limbaugh all hated liberals.
Don’t project your hate of Republicans onto those who quesion 0bama and don’t see him as the “hopey changey thingey” of the Democratic party. You might need us to vote for the other names on the ballots since most of the rabid 0bama supporters won’t.
Hey Lance, what’s wrong with liberals? I’m a liberal who believes in the betterment of society, and that women should own their bodies, and health care should be universal. That said, I can see through the Obamacrats, just as I could see through Bush and Cheney back in 1999. Get a grip, man!
Pro-choicers are PETA members who are anti war.
Save the animals, save the terriost and kill the unborn.
Perry a large majority of Americans are sick & tired of being bludgeoned with wedge issues…they want a break…nuff said…
Just a suggestion, focus on McCain-Palin authenticity and corruption/abuses reform.
Suggestion: Get out the real record on McCain and Democrats re: reining in Fannie and Freddie and the whole history of Democratic advocacy to the max of loan standards that brought on this economic crisis. What Dems said to protect Fan/Fred and what Republicans at the same time said.
I can say unequivocally, I HATE DICK MORRIS. It’s not right to hate, but…I HATE DICK MORRIS – ’nuff said. I also hate that FOX continues to employ him.
I do too and I don’t feel a thing about hating him much less guilt about it.
He is slime.
He’s what you become when you become so obsessed with someone that after all this time you can’t let it go.
Once I counted the seconds in one of his segments to gauge how long it would take before he slammed Hillary. He didn’t even make it to 30 seconds.
Pathetic!
What a pitiful asshole he is.
It’s over Dick. We’re in the 21st Century.
Give it a rest!
Yes mimi- no matter the topic, Dick Morris ALWAYS finds a way to slam Hillary.
Is there an email for Dick Morris?
His credibility was over for me when he entertained the idea of Obama winning florida. Obama is SO not going to win florida.
how bout those Bosniaks?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I chuckled at that too.
Chuckle at this, moron…”Bosniak” is the correct term for Bosnian Muslims: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosniaks
More of that No Quarter brainpower on display here…
lol…I thought BOSNIAKS….would make a great name for a PUNK ROCK band…chuckle…
Any of you oldsters remember Debbie Reynolds or Sandra Dee in the Tammy movies?
Sarah reminds me of Tammy. Everyone thought she was a hick, but she won them over with honesty and niceness.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgFg2Tm5_wE&feature=related
Haha! Great comment! I agree, and thanks…a lovely wave of nostalgia just swept over me.
Harp — I remember the Gidget movies. Yes she reminded me of Gidget. Its clear she has tons of energy and loves our country and she’s the most honest person I have seen in a long long time.
Harp…I think she reminds me of Marge Gunderson…the No Nonsense sheriff who sees right through people in the Film FARGO….She has that combo of Truman Grit and Reagan likability…Whatever happens in Novemeber the GOP has a superstar and the democrats are going to have to contend with her for a long time…chuckle…
DRUDGE REPORT:
BIDEN: 28% 61,473
Palin: 70% 150,173
THANK YOU HILLARY FOR HANGING IN THERE AND EXPOSING THE WEAKNESS OF THE “LEFT WING KLAN”.
We Hillary Diehards had a debate-watching party and we expecting Sarah to not do too well based on how the media has been presenting her. I was suspicious since the teleprompter malfunctioned during her Convention speech, and her speech far surpassed Obama’s with teleprompter. She has convictions and is a real person. She has a record of accomplishment, which is more than just voting on a bill. For that reason, I didn’t think she’d botch the debate if she could help it.
And then the MSM trashed Hillary right and left, but have we heard about Obama’s interview with the Des Moines Register, the one in which he cited his lawyerly mind as the rationale for giving THE SPEECH at the anti-war rally when he was a state senator–but his reasoning involved the Colin Powell U.N. presentation, which occurred four months AFTER the speech, which was not mentioned in the press or recorded. Axelrod re-enacted it with audience when it appeared politically expedient to do so. I wonder if the speech was re-written as well.
We were very very impressed. Sarah Palin is a natural politician. She’s smart, energetic, honest, and stole the show. I agree with the comment I read that she field-dressed Biden like a moose.
Yes, she won the real debate tonight. That debate was, which candidate team is going to bring change to Washington?
What I am seeing here and at the Confluence and other like minded blogs is that this was a big win for McCain Palin. The next question is—-how much dues are the blogger boyz going to try to make her pay for the audacity of taking out one of their own—taking him out in everything that counts for winning elections?
Wonder what Hill and Bill think?
Rove was like a kid on steroids in the Toys R Us.
Bill Kristol was beaming wildely and wildly.
I am so proud of Sarah Palin!!! Kiss my grits stupid left wingnuts of my party, the Democrats….my lifelong party…….I’m going with Sarah, and I don’t feel bad at all!
Sarah Palin rocks!
McCain/PALIN 08
You made me smile … Kiss My Gritt is a perfect line for her because she has intestinal fortitude and determination the likes of which the prissies in DC have not seen in a long, long time.
The media from what I saw after the debate were doing what they do. They were favorable towards Sarah on FOX, and were ripping her on MSNBC and CNN. I could only stand to watch a bit over on MSNBC, Keith came on there and 1 sec in was tearing Sarah up on everything she said! No credit to her for her performance or holding her own against a veteran of politics, NADA!
And what world is Chris Matthews living in? First it was a tingle up his leg, then tonight he was wondering what was Sarah trying to convey with all that “constant winking” she was doing to us (the audience) HELLO Chris! She winked ONCE, at her Father, in the audience NOT AT YOU!
Are you THAT hard up, you can’t get any sexual satisfaction unless it’s fabricated as some form of ESP come-on you believe politicians are sending you over the airwaves?????
Sad….And SICK!
Chris Matthews needs to go…it’s that simple. Time for bye bye Chris. I hope he gets fired.
I heard he is going… Leaving to run for the Senate in PA.
Pity PA…. Hope they know better than to vote this jerk into office.
I heard that too….like you, I hope they’ve been paying attention to this primary season and how Matthews has behaved.
PA? What did we do to deserve him? Since he has a palace on Nantucket island let him run for Ted Kennedy’s seat when he retires.
He’s from Philadelphia.
He has a brother in Philly who is active in Republican politics.
Maybe we could have a newsmen for change song… I could see Matthews and Olberman with all their middle America hating friends all wearing Obama shirts and singing for “The One”. Heck, they could change the world… the world of media.
Did anyone catch when Biden was chuckling and signaling to someone in the crowd? It was while Sarah was speaking.
To Zee:
Yes, I saw that. Not once, but all through the debate. He kept smirking and grinning and nodding to someone in the audience. He made an a@@ of himself it was so obvious.He was trying to denigrate what Palin was saying, or trying to take the attention away from her. Even to him, it was obvious that he was outclassed.
MW:
What’s next is that Clearwater, FL made a miscalculation setting Sarah’s event in Coachman Park. It’s going to be a total traffic lock from all sides of Clearwater and people will not be able to go in or out of the city for hours. You will not be able to fit a probable number of 100,000 attendees.
will CNN and MSM reporting that?!!!!!!
what band will play the first act?!
Yes, I suspect she’ll have standing room crowds. I suspect we’ll also see Obama’s media lackeys calling her a celebrity to discount the crowds. The irony will, quoting their Dear Leader, be above their pay grade.
And she won’t need to serve bratwurst and beer, either.
Here’s what makes it a game changer…imho…
Most voters vote for POTUS on a different standard and it boils down to trust & likability.
As a team…McCain/Palin scored big…I think most folks in the Great American Middle will like Palin.
Unfortunately…chuckle…for BARKY…PALIN IS LIKABLE ENOUGH….AND BARKY IS NOT
My guesss is, Midwestern folks do like her already.
The question is do they trust Palin to take over if McCain were to die (God forbid)?
And, do they trust the economy in the hands of the republicans? Lower taxes are not going to completely persuade them.
polls and alphabet soup Tv is not important
i cruised some rep blogs and all the disappointed people r energized and will vote for Palin
Wooohooo!! Great news! Lets bring out the base baby!!!
McCain/Palin 08
by the way…..SARAH rocks!
imustprotest — you mean I can worry less about Obama bussing in the homeless? Whew that’s a relief. I love McCain/Palin. They are listening to us.
Noonan gets it. When she talks about talking over the heads of the media and going straight to the public that is Palin’s gift and it is a very, very rare gift. Reagan had it, Clinton had it. She has it.
Go to HuffPo or Kozikistan:
You’d think Palin tripped over her cordless mike
Go to No Quarter:
Palin is the new Ronnie Reagan
Buffalo Springfield nailed it:
“Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side”
If only I could travel back and put a couple rounds through Wozniak’s grandfather.
this is the real reason that msm and dems want to destroy her. this is her coming out party and even if they don’t win she will be back and hard to beat. She will be a/the leader of the Repubs in the future and will be able to do what Reagan did. if you pair her with Gov. Jindal from LA they will kill in a general election.
“if you pair her with Gov. Jindal from LA they will kill in a general election.”
Yiddish proverb:
“Men tracht un Got lacht”
If you wish to make God laugh
Tell Him your plans
English version: Man proposes; God disposes!
My husband said his real dream ticket is Clinton/Palin; said “they’d get shit done.”
I LOVED it.
The only flaw in your argument is that Noquarter is on the right. Its not.
Go to hotair.com for opinion on the right.
Go to talkleft.com for opinion on the left
Come to Noquarter for opinion from angry democrats who feel their party abandoned them and are not going to say its ok this time
Go to Daily Kos for your daily dose of shit and insanity from Obamacrats.
There you go
Nailed it again.
It wasn’t even close to okay this time.
I love that woman….I love her kind of feminist
sally — for me feminism embraces how successful women balance their lives. Sarah Palin, a mom of 5, a popular Governor and a terrific gal. She is a feminist in the best way.
Wow, what debate was Chris Matthews watching? I don’t know about the other networks– I watched it all on C-Span as I did the Pres debate. Pleasantly devoid of any and all punditry
I’m not sure if the others show it split screen like they do, for almost the whole time. During the Pres debate, Obama was sneering smirking muttering jumping to interrupt all through whatever McCain was saying. And during this one… I’m not sure what was going on. Every 15 seconds Biden is mugging for the camera or something. It was weird, like he was in a big photo-op when he wasn’t speaking.
In fairness, Bosniac, much as it made me giggle, is a real term… but I don’t think it came off well. Everyone who doesn’t get it probably thinks it’s a gaffe, and for those who do, it just sounds pretentious like Obama and his “Pakistan”.
For the first time in my adult life I could even overlook the word nucular.
Yeah, how dare these elitists actually use the right words for things, and pronounce them correctly? Don’t they know REAL AMERICANS want a president who is a total dumbshit? GO, NUCULAR SARAH!!!!!!
I watched the split screen on C-Span, too. Biden looked a lot like GWB while Palin was speaking with the mugging to someone in the audience, and the “watch this drive” cockiness. He also sighed a lot. So, it’s slanted for Matthews to pick out a wink from Palin while ignoring Biden’s mannerisms.
Biden’s moment of getting choked up seemed fake to me, but the double standard applied to women and men on this is sexist. If Palin had “teared up,” at any point in this debate the media would have covered it nonstop for days.
I thought Biden was condescending when he stepped over Palin’s answer about global warming. Her answer was that no matter what you believed about its cause, it was real and needed to be addressed. He was arrogant with his “how can you address the issue if you don’t know the causes.” She sounded more knowledgeable than him because she acknowledged the sunspot cycle issue in her answer.
All in all, when I listen to Biden’s glibness and reflect on his long record of “service,” all I can think of is rubber chicken dinner speeches. Maybe it’s just me.
Great commentary. LOL at rubber chicken dinner circuit!
Gov. Palin came off well on the climate change portion. I could not help but think she knew more because of her experience and ability to see all sides of the issue.
Well, my best thinking is that Sarah won 60% vs. 40% Joe Biden. Joe WAS coherent and no gaffes.
But, I was very happy that our real lady Sarah did very well tonight! I am very biased for the McCain/Palin ticket, but I indeed was happy w/ Gov. Palin. Way to go!
NOW, or about now, it is time for the McCain campaign and/or the 527s to get the DIRT out on the Obama monster!
My fingers are still hurting from praising Larry and your contributors for such a useful website!
A sincere salute to NQ! The First Amenedment rocks. Keep up the great work Larry and your main writers!!!
Hey, if McCain wins, even I would welcome a Hillary vs. Sarah race in 2012! What a country if that comes true. What a disaster if Obama and Pelosi run our country before….
OCTOBER SURPRISE!!!!
Why can’t I get this smile off my face??
she kicked his petty little ass big time….she is wonderful and smart….I’m sick of those Harvard Princeton types…..they’re brainwashing factories–anything but places of higher thought. Anyone who attends may be able to do anything but promote…CHANGE.
Sarah would shake their asses up and not flinch…yeh!!! That’s what we need….america needs. A genuine mom…..to rule the world.
sally even more than being a genuine mom — Sarah Palin is GENUINE. One of the reasons I am so turned off by Obama is all his high class speak. He talks down to people and whenever I see him I think about how rehersed he is. I cannot stand someone who talks down to the American people.
And she is so tough. Biden’s father’s quote about getting up when you’re knocked down couldn’t be more appropriate in describing Sarah. She has taken an unprecedented beating since her nomination speech and last night she showed what a tough, classy, honest person she is. How many of us could do what she did last night after the last 5 weeks of constant bashing, bad-mouthing, and utter condemnation coming from so many, especially the media? She was great but my admiration grew tremendously because of that fact. She(and her family) stood up, took the hardest shots any candidate has ever had to deal with, and kept going with honor and grace. Good for you Sarah!
Buh bye Obama/Biden…..courtesy of GOVERNOR Sarah Palin!!
So what about all those accusations that Ifill would be a biased debate moderator? I thought she did an exceptionally good job.
Palin performed well. Hey, give the “MSM” credit where credit’s due–most of the CNN and MSNBC commentators acknowledged that. Matthews and Olbermann are no more biased than Hannity and O’Reilly–and generally more amusing.
I thought Biden did well too. I’d give the debate to him on content, but Palin has undone the damage of earlier televised interviews. They probably both consider the evening successful.
Zigmeister…Palin did great, no question about it…but the bias Matthews and Dobermannnn…..sorry, your reachin’ with your compliments….Matthews needs to be fired. Dobermann…ratings will take care of him.
piggy is back!
ziggy,
A conflict of interest is a conflict of interest. I know ethics and the law doesn’t matter to Obama supporters but America is still a land of law, and some still have ethics in this country.
Of course, when you support Obama, who takes money from foreign contributors, Wall Street executives and have supporters like Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Castro, etc., what’s a little conflict of interest.
Right, ziggy?
Let’s not even bother going there. It’s a zero-sum game. McCain has his special interest money too, right? Not to mention more lobbyists than fleas on a hillbilly hound dog…
McCain has NEVER requested any earmarks.I know…I live in Arizona.
How ’bout your little boy Obama?…EAR MARKS GALORE!
Doesn’t Arizona get short-changed as a result? Earmarks aren’t necessarily wasteful sepnding. Such money often goes for useful works that benefit the public, not just toward somebody’s goofy pet project. I assume Arizona residents pay federal taxes like everybody else?
ziggy,
You don’t want to “go there” because it’s a losing proposition for you and Obama.
When you look in the mirror at your eyes, have your eyes turned completely black from the soul disappearing due to supporting evilness?
ziggy –
No – I think you’re wrong – O’Reilly goes out of his way (too far most of the times) to prove that he can present unbiased reports. As far as Matthews and Olbermann being more amusing – since when?????
ziggy is avoiding the issues again. Obama and his supporters could care less about the law or ethics.
ziggy, do you know America is a land of laws? Do you know the definition of ethics?
You mean, “couldn’t care less!”
I actually thought that Ifill threw Palin a treat when she asked Biden if he “supported same-sex partner benefits…like they do in Alaska”. HA HA!
Yes, Ifill did a good job as a journalist. She was invisible. And so was Biden.
Except Biden’s “content” contained at least 14 lies according to several news sources.
ziggy is Obama troll just look at his record here at NQ. Well he is bit smarter than trolls from The Gaza Strip but still TROLL
Ziggy – why don’t you just zag on over to daily koz where you belong? Let those of us who belong here enjoy our victory in peace.
I breeze by the Repub blogs lately (yep, I know, what the hell has happened) and they were ready to take her down if she didn’t deliver. They are not as partisan as I thought back when I was a Dem partisan.
THEY ARE ECSTATIC! Happy Republicans are something to see – and they are’nt monsters. Who knew? They can even be damn funny….world turned upside down.
I could use some examples of Repub blog sites. Never been to one and don’t know where to begin to look.
Half of the posts here link to rightwing sites, some really gawdawful news sites…I won’t name them, but as for blogs, Hot Air is one I remember the name of. And Little Green Footballs.
Also Gateway Pundit, Michelle Malkin,World Net Daily.
Hot Air, Little Green Footballs (LGF has some damn funny posters), Instapundit is a decent round-up source of links.
I like Flopping Aces and Black 5.
http://www.floppingaces.net/
http://www.blackfive.net/main/
I think shes ready to go on Meet The Press, Larry King, The Daily Show, maybe even Rachel Maddow?
she should tease them all and not go
She has more courage and character than you think.
She’s too good for the Rachel Maddow’s show
Olbermann and Maddow have already been discussing this. They were conversing about it on Olbermann’s show and intimating that they would together give her two hours of hard time. I never watch these two but happened to catch this conversation while I was flipping to find Lou Dobbs.
She might jjust give them the surprise of their lives. On any program that is not taped and edited (per Gibson and Couric) she will more than hold her own.
“I think shes ready to go on Meet The Press, Larry King, The Daily Show”
Beware what you wish, for the gods do have a sense of humor.
And might have PMS.
Obama is the joke-no actually his supporters are the joke, he’s the Joker, so his supporters should go on The Daily Show.
Hasn’t McCain done the Daily Show several times?
Smilin’ Jim
Do you know that men suffer from PMS? It’s from low testosterone.
These are the men that joke about women having PMS.
You mean Palin Madness Syndrome?
I’ll donate $100 if she’ll make MSNBC be the verrrrrrry last one.
(tee-hee)
Posted at RedState:
Something I saw on CNN Post-debate. Soledad O’brien was hosting a post-debate focus group and held a raised-hand poll of who won. First for Biden, after which she commented “there was an overwhelming majority.” When asked for Palin, she commented there were a “handfull.” However, when I paused and couned the votes, out of the 32 people there, 13 raised hands for Biden, while there are clearly 15 for Palin with 4 not voting. An overwhelming victory, indeed. Have it on my DVR, will try to up a copy to the net.
Obviously libs are rattled when they are lying while the truth is directly visible to the viewing public.
Please post screencaps and a link to your post soon.
jeezus christ. are they in the tank for obama, or what.
SAY IT AIN”T SO JOE! Freaking great!
It’s like the night Hillary won New Hampshire.
It’s like the night Hillary won Super Tuesday.
It’s like the night Hillary won Ohio and Texas.
It’s like the night Hillary won New York, Calif., New Jersey, and Mass.
It’s like the night Hillary won Florida and Michigan.
Somebody remind me again—Just what did that little piss ant win to get the DNC nomination.
OH Yeah! — He won the Biased Media!!
Yeah and they carried his sorry, limp ass across the finish line. Hillary won, Obama lost. History will record it this way.
She was in charge of the debate! All the way in charge. She didn’t let Biden or what’s-her-name get away with any of the “gotcha” stuff they tried so slyly to get in. She is an incredibly skilled debater. I’ve not seen anyone this good ever.
The people in Alaska who said we hadn’t seen anything like her in a debate were not kidding…not one little bit.
She doesn’t have to try to connect with “her neighbors getting it,” SHE gets it. She’s living “it.” She’s a real person, who’s done real work, who is one of the real working people.
The MSM is so done in by their own effete elitism.
Biden has no passion or excitement for Obama. Also, he looked ridiculous spouting Obama talking points on Iraq when he voted for the war.
Palin showed genuine excitement and belief in John McCain.
And the line about her imposing the windfall profits tax as Governor to reverse the tax giveaway Obama voted for in Congress — she so owned his ass on energy.
I just got home I watched at my daughters house. I am so proud of her, she was the Sarah from the convention. The way Biden looked at her you could tell he couldn’t help but like her too. Such a refreshing change of pace. She was very respectful. I think Biden also did a good job, better than Obama did, but I did catch a few gaffes from him. I admit it I shed a tear when he was talking about his sons. I know how hard it is to sit in a hospital not knowing from day to day if your child is going to make it. I also know how hard it is to loose a child. I thought the moderator did an excellent job. She was very professional.I am going to send her an apology, I owe her one.
BREAKING! Drudge links to an article in the UK’s “The Telegraph” in which a letter from the British Ambassador to the US says this about Obama:
“Sir Nigel traces the ambition of Mr Obama, 47, to reach the White House right back to his 20s or before. “He has talked at least since the 1980s about a shot at the Presidency.”
He also identifies several political vulnerabilities that Sen McCain will seek to exploit in the last month of his campaign against the Illinois senator. The leaked letter will provide him with welcome ammunition.
Mr Obama “can seem to sit on the fence, assiduously balancing pros and cons”, Sir Nigel wrote, and “does betray a highly educated and upper middle class mindset”. Charges of elitism “are not entirely unfair” and he is “maybe aloof, insensitive” at times.
“He can talk too dispassionately for a national campaign about issues which touch people personally, eg his notorious San Francisco comments [in April] about small-town Pennsylvanians ‘clinging’ to guns and religion.”
This is EXPLOSIVE in my own opinion. I can’t log in to my Typepad account or I would post it now–right after my post debate article. (too disgusted I can’t log in to that account).
Anyway, Susan you guys need to post this ASAP too!
I don’t know how to link, so here’s to hoping this posts:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/3125120/Barack-Obama-is-aloof-says-British-ambassador-to-US.html
“Mr Obama’s Democratic primary victory over the former First Lady showed that “he is tough and competitive. This is of course the Chicago school.
You don’t beat Clinton without being resilient” but “his energy levels do dip and he can be uninspiring e.g. in debates”. ”
~~~
Even the Brits notice the Chicago Machine candidate has no stamina.
I read this leaked communication. For the most part that memo is very admiring of Obama so the excerpts of your comment are sort of the negatives but there is plenty in there for O to use to his benefit (since it is an ambassador leak probably not). The big question to ask is who leaked this? How did they get it? Why? Because I think the sum of it overall is pro-Obama.
“I thought the moderator did an excellent job. She was very professional.I am going to send her an apology, I owe her one.”
You’re very gracious. For such an experienced journalist, Ifill looked nervous to me because she knew she was being watched for bias. So you can thank all the people — like NoQuarter and Hillaryis44 — who exposed Ifill’s conflict of interest and put her on good behavior.
I agree with whoframedrudy, we were quick to criticize, as the Obots do without justification, so we need to extend an apology to Ifill for assuming she would exhibit bias. I was one who emailed the station voicing my objection to have her moderate. She really showed fairness. No matter why she did is unimportant at this point. It was very refreshing,especially during this long election process, to observe a moderator and/or reporter giving respectful unbias reporting and/or questioning of the candidates no matter who they support.
she was fair. but maybe because she was called on it.
do the media ever send apology notes or disclaimers?!
Agreed Ifill did a good job, but she was really under a microscope because she did not tell the debate commission about her book. That was unprofessional and she knew it.
I think she takes her reputation very seriously, as she should, so she was very professional in the debate because a lot was at stake for her.
The MSM was called on this by the blogs, Ifill was chastened and McCain / Palin said nothing (so they did not look like whiners). A win all the way around.
whoframedwoody — I thought Ifill did a really professional job.
I agree that she was on balance a fair moderator — certainly far better than many I have seen.
However, I am not sure about the apology. It may have been a good thing that the phone lines were lighting up complaining about her obvious conflict of interest. I think it is wonderful that so many were motiviated to take action on this.
Ms. Ifill, and everyone else, were put on notice that America was watching.
A welcome departure from ‘pillow fluffing for Obama’ debates we watched in the primary.
I agree. If it weren’t for the fact her bias had been exposed by real journalistic blogs like this one (not the MSM of course), Ifill probably would’ve pulled a Charlie Gibson on Palin tonight.
I agree with whoframedrudy too. She looked nervous! And she should have been. I know I sent a letter and how many other millions of people cried in outrage. Her future as a journalist was at stake. She is very lucky.
ifill would have been absolutely awful if a stink had not been raised about her. the poster who said they are sending an apology should retract it. she doesn’t deserve it. all she did last night was the job she was supposed to do in the first place. she did nothing extraordinary. we just think so because of the pathetic crap spewed at us all day long.
I thought Sarah Palin was terrific. She is one of us and she understands our problems. When you consider that Pelosi allowed this credit crisis to fester in order to have it as a debate issue close to the election — they are tone deaf in Washington when it comes to issues that matter to us. Sarah Palin hears us.
This needs to be brought out about Pelosi by McCain in the next debate — he also needs to hit Obama on the fact that Reps. wanted greater regulation and the Dems didn’t.
I think the national polls should start to tighten. However, we still have a long way to go.
We need an October Surprise though. If it’s coming, it needs to be now. There really aren’t any “natural” game changers left. The next 2 debates will be too heavily rehearsed to be of any value.
If you go to yahoo.com and play the photo slideshow of the VP debate, you will see in the middle of 175 photos, about 4 or 5 photos of just Sarah Palin’s legs.
Un-freakin-believeable!
What kind of sexist crap is that?
I tried to post the link but it wouldn’t let me. Just go to yahoo and on the top page is the VP debate. If it’s gone, just go to news and find the slide show. It’s not difficult to find.
Hope this works…
http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Vice-Presidential-Debate/ss/events/pl/100108vicepresdebate//im:/081003/480/c51b5cc69d6b490bbadf4efe5f732577/
She has great legs and they are idiots. Two birds killed with one stone.
Yes, she has gorgeous gams. She is, in fact, an attractive woman. Especially considering 5 kids. And her age.
But putting the photos of her legs in that slide show is meant to demean her.
I’m really disgusted with the American male mindset. Other countries have women heads-of-state, countries where women don’t enjoy the freedoms that they do here and still so many American males simply can’t disonnect their hormones when dealing with women who are working in a professional capacity.
There are certainly more than enough women who want to be ogled and appreciated for their physical beauty, but there are, believe it or not guys, women who are not in that mindset. They see themselves as capable human-beings and are more focused on working at their chosen profession than being sexual objects.
We will never get a woman POTUS as long as a substantial number of men show their contempt for women in this manner. In fact, it may be a way of keeping us down.
I respect countries that have had a woman as their leader. They seem to deal with her only on that level instead of picking her apart on how she looks.
Why does everything have to be reduced to a hormonal Middle School mindset where boys can’t control themselves and resort to filling condoms up with water.
I don’t know if many American males realize that they’ve come off as weak and immature during this election.
Not very attractive.
And ditto for women who have engaged in a similar mindset.
Did I hear Biden say that Obama held hearings prior to the Iraq War to express his fear of our involvement. Obama was not in the Senate at the time –
Missed that, are you sure?
Probably not.
Ifill did a great job. The beginning was the best, when she said “Neither one of you answered the question.” Asking a candidate to answer a direct question in a debate, I guess, is a thing of the past.
I watched the debate on PBS. After it was over, my initial thought was that Palin won because, as I just saw on the Peggy Noonan video above, Palin controlled the debate by putting Joe Biden on the defensive. Do I think that Palin is more versed in policy than Biden? Probably not, but that doesn’t make a difference to me because it’s not all about being a policy wonk. Palin obviously has the ability to connect with people, and her speaking style did exactly that. I was anxious to watch the debate, not because I thought Sarah would perform badly, but because I wanted to see her perform in the manner that I expected. She actually exceeded my expectation since I never anticipated that she would actually control a good 3/4’s of the debate.
I forgot to write that both David Brooks and Mark Shields stated that she did well. I believe that David Brooks was impressed with Palin’s debating capabilities, while Mark Shields was probably impressed with the fact that Sarah Palin did not implode, and that she actually exceeded his own expectations. If I remember correctly, they were not sure how her performance would actually play to the American public, though.
McFailin never had Biden on the defensive. How else is he supposed to handle somenoe who is clearly out her league, (and his league) and is intellectually vacant on EVERY major issue, save for energy?
She has been a total drag on the ticket and their numbers continue to plummet.
OH, i love her!
Lol…do you think she’ll maybe do some press conferences, without her mental index cards, so we can get a really good hoot before she fades from the national spotlight and back to obscurity on Nov.5?
Just saw a comment on another social network site that stated BO’s “95%” isn’t fact because the $250,000 is actually for couples.
Anybody know if this is true?
Yes, the $250,000 is for couples – so, if one of you owns a business that makes $150,000/yr and the other earns $100,000, Obama’s going to raise your taxes and give them to, among others, the 40% who pay no taxes at all. It’s called income redistribution. Of course, you may have to lay off a worker or two, and then that worker can live off of his one-time gift from the Obama adminstration. But, why are we talking this nonsense? There will be no money in the treasury from Obama’s grand redistribution plan and the Congress will not vote for it (unless they are completely nuts.).
Biden sounded Presidential.
Palin sounded qualified to run for PTA, if you were narrow minded and wanted to legislate morality.
Okay, while you “might” be a troll, I’ll bite.
PTA? Cute. You omit that she is already a sitting U.S. Governor. Dismissive on your part but not unexpected.
Now, just what do you mean by “if you were narrow minded and wanted to legislate morality”?
Don’t bother. Mr Murder works the night shift for Obot Trolls Inc. He’s a regular minion for the cause.
More sexist tripe. I’ve heard plenty of this about Hillary and Palin. There is no winning with you no matter what.
Biden sounded like a typical old blowhard beltway insider.
Experienced, sure. He also told 10 abject LIES up there. That kind of “Presidential” I don’t need.
Anybody can bluster with a deep voice. That has nothing to do with getting the job done. All show and no go. Just ask Obama.
Well said. Obama is nothing more than a liberal extremist bobble-head with a tenor voice.
How they sounded, as opposed to what they said.
Moving the goal posts, eh?
When it comes to Obama, what else is there? He never says anything. He’s minimal style with no substance. I didn’t see the debate so I can’t comment on Biden.
correct. the obots are voting for him cuz he looks like will smith in “men in black.”
Oh Mr Murder. How we love hearing your pitiful mewlings. Don’t you have any real friends to play with?
Biden Presidential?
Why because he had to lie to make any points against the Gov?
I would expect a guy who has 35 years of experience to have enough truth running around his head. That he wouldn’t have to lie in order to score points against Palin.
He should be torn apart for that performance it was so bad.
If Palin lied that much….MSNBC would spontaneously combust with all the hot air they would spew over it.
ah, Mr Murder. more sexism. please – keep poking at the PUMA,
LMAO
Actually, it’s 14 lies that Joe Biden told at the debate:
1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain did not vote that way.
2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say this specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.
3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”
4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.
5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.
6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.
7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people’s health insurance coverage — they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false.
8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska — she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it’s not a windfall profits tax.
9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.
10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation — he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where John McCain has been proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won’t pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.
You’re simple. You’re a liberal right?
Sarah Palin seems to be “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” in heels, come to life. THIS, folks, is change. Imagine a President of the Senate who can remind career pols, “In case you don’t remember what it’s like for an average family….”.
I think her real-world, in the trenches, domestic perspective is a good complement for McCain’s foreign policy perspective, and they’ll learn from each other’s experiences along the way. From the debate tonight it’s pretty obvious that she’s a quick study.
I don’t agree with her on everything, true. But as we’ve all heard, when you have candidates X and Y…
I recall a comment somewhere on this blog in the past week that talked about AA women not liking Sarah because she was too perfect. I don’t understand this, because she’s not. She says “nukular”, she has a pregnant unmarried teenage daughter, she’s made a few enemies in her small town just like most of us have when people have disagreed with us, she apparently went through 5 colleges in 6 years before graduating. And so on. Sarah Palin seems to be the kind of person who takes life as it comes and makes the absolute best of it that she can with her god-given abilities and personal characteristics. Isn’t that what most of us try to do? Take imperfect circumstances and do the best with them that we can?
About the most I can say is that I can understand it if people with my kind of luck (over the years friends have laughed at some of my incredible misfortunes) resent her for having better luck, being at the right place at the right time, etc. But what I can’t understand is why the same people don’t resent Obama just as much for exactly the same reason.
He’s a man. So it’s allowed. It is unfortunate but that is the truth.
The double standard still operates.
It doesn’t matter about AA women. They’ll never vote for Sarah anyway.
But, as Donna Brazille said, “We don’t need em. We got a new coalition.”
I’m amazed at reading some of the other comments on the net. People who were already anti-Palin simply refuse to give that woman any credit. The latest meme they are spreading around? That she just read her responses from her notes, therefore she is still stupid. Some calling her a “kewpie doll.” It’s mindboggling. Disagree with her stances on issues but enough with the sexism!
That will not end. I am beginning to believe it is endemic.
And disgusting.
I am in shock by how many well educated, otherwise well meaning people engage in this behavior — and they focused those cruel, sexist lasers on Hillary, not only Palin. Men and women do this, by the way.
Certainly no one in their right mind could argue Hillary’s great abilities and qualifications.
Sexism is alive and well in the US. And it’s worst offenders are Democrats who claim they’re progressive, open-minded and feminists. Alrighty then.
bingo
yep; and it hurts more when it comes from “our” party. that being said though, it must be remembered that obama is a disasterous candidate, nevermind the sexism, for a whole host of other issues.
That response is prompted by the fact that Palin tried to avoid answering at least 5 of the questions posed to her.
Certainly doesn’t mean the accusation is true, but she left the door open for it.
Obama did the same thing during the debate.
The current Obot spin is one way to look at it.
The alternate way to look at it is that she controlled the debate and didn’t let the moderator get in the way of her communicating what she wanted to communicate, to the people.
I agree that both interpretations are possible.
Again, to say that one interpretation is true for Obama, and the other is true for Palin, when viewing the same tactics, doesn’t work for me.
Got to hand it to Larry, he was an early Biden supporter, the guy knows his stuff when it comes to foreign policy.
Maybe being the Foreign Relations Chair makes him even better able to get Congress working with the White House on foreign policy?
Biden also doesn’t think Obama is experienced enough to be CiC.
How is that logic working for ya?
Knows his stuff? He lied so many times. Did you see the list someone posted near the top of the page?
Some of the analysts don’t even know the facts well enough to know Biden lied many times in the debate. He is lying with a straight face and they call him “substantive” and praise him for having a “command of the facts”. LOL. No dear analysts, Biden is a great guy, but he is a glib liar. You just don’t know the facts to detect it. You know LESS than Palin.
Nonsense. He couldn’t even get Barack to show up for work.
biden did not do well last night. what a shame his knowledge isn’t being put to good use and certainly would not in a so called obama administration. biden i am sure regrets he is on this ticket.
“Game Changer? Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on what is next.”
Umm, isn’t that almost the perfect definition of NOT a gamechanger?
Just saw this movie trailer some Palin supporters put together. Can you imagine how exciting it would be to have this kind of personality in charge of the country???

Take off the Dick Morris comments!
Even when Hillary has nothing to do with the conversation, Dick Morris manages to find a way to slide in a Hillary insult. This toe sucking prick needs to get a life and stop obsessing over the Clintons.
You got fired! It happens. Move on…
She won.
…the pagent.
troll
was ifill part of the debate.?
i have the feeling that we spend the time with sarah palin and there were some bad commercial too often.
ohhh. and from time to time, someone was barking: bush, bush, bush ….mccain, mccain, mccain …
Rotund Roland Martin on CNN is an Obama shill who is full of guano.
The Obama Bin Biden ticket is the best money can buy — just ask MBNA, Goldman Sachs, and Freddie Mac.
Obama’s keeping Sarah Palin away from Michelle for fear Sarah will mistake Michelle for a moose.
Sarah should challenge Barack to a debate.
racist.
‘Moose’ is not a race.
O’Rielly vs Barney Frank.
Rips Barney. Just Rips him:

that is the child molester, or they were teenagers ….or just young stuff?!
sorry: is staff
excellent, let the voters see franks in all his glory. what about his “very good friend” who worked for fnma and screwed that pooch? come on franks, tell the truth.
the democrats want to get all self righteous about this but they are no better than repubs. just look at their actions. there is a reason why their poll numbers are so low for congress.
THESE MSM JOURNALISTS NEED TO GROW UP IN SHOWING MORE PROFESSIONALISM IN THEIR JOB.WE ALL NEED TO BE HONEST ABOUT TONIGHT DEBATE OPPOSING A WASHINGTON 30 YEARS+ SENATOR AGAINST AN OUTSIDER GOVERNOR OF ALASKA.IT WAS A TOUCH DOWN VICTORY FOR SARAH PALIN.REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IS SIMPLY CHOSING TO BE DISHONEST WITH ONESELF
Betcha a dollar Katie Couric feels like the schmuck she is, today.
And just think of all the bitchy ladies on The View…….in your face, eh?
LOL

Why Obama will not lose in Ohio:
http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/2008/10/helping-voters-in-ohio.html
Governor Sarah Palin did a superb job, no doubt about it. I am not going to give any of these moronic news media people the benefit of my time and energy by watching them and then getting angry because they can’t stand to see a successful woman, especially on the Republican ticket. They’re a bunch of whiny ass “I got my ego bruised” arrogant little babies. Fucking grow up already.
Don’t care about the polls. As for the cheating going on in Ohio, maybe McCain won’t win that state. But I bet Ohio officials are going to be doing all they can to make sure they can verify every single registration so they can throw out all those that are not valid, probably 95% that Obama’s goose steppers turned in after sitting at the library all day on crack and cheetos.
Sarah Palin apprend vite, très vite, c’est une surdouée, et tous les surdoués ont droit aux meilleures écoles, la Maison Blanche sera pour elle cette école!
Félicitation à cette dame charmante.
d’accord
Guys, if the singing kiddies for Obama didn’t scare you, get a load of this (LUN)
She was very good.
Obama and Biden know where Osma is why don’t they go get him. I wish someone would call them on that.Where are they getting there information? Can we trust there intellgence report?So, Obama is going to take troops out of Iraq and go to Dafur, Pakistan, and Afganstan, sounds like a bad plan to me. Our military is thin now. Obama might as well send troops to Kenya to aid his other country while he’s at it.
After this huge bail out, there isn’t going to be the money to do this ….
Funny guy Biden. He says a few months ago that Obama’s unfit for the presidency, but he’s now “completely in support of the Obama agenda.” What a WHORE. And Sarah skewered him on that. He couldn’t squirm away.
I just read this editorial from Maureen Dowd regarding Obama’s internet fund raising practices. I am not sure if this has been around before, but it certainly seems as though it is another Obama red flag.
I wish i could email her and tell her so, but I take my hat off to ms ifill. I posted it on black voicies and thanked her for restoring my faith in the black professional journalism. I’m not a person that just get’s what i want and cast people aside. I think Gwin Ifill is one of the first pro obama african americans who has renewed my faith that the rare species of the black professional journalist still exists. Ms Ifill could have gone the shameless unprofessional route even after she had been put on notice, like most obama supporters. But this woman was as non biased and articlate and fair regardless of what her own interest was and i think that deserves praise and respect. Ifill is a stand up woman. And just so the race baiters know… No i didn’t doubt her because she was black, I doubted her because she was an obama supporter.
I thought she did a good job, too. The clowns over at MSNBC and CNN should take lessons from her on how to be a unbiased reporter.
I agree…I liked her questions, her demeanor was perfect, she paced it well.
I am happy to see she could keep it professional.
One thing is certain this morning—Sarah blew her critics out of the water. Get ready for another onslaught of Obots in panic mode.
They are equally certain on the other side and they have the msm to back them up. For better or worse, the bots are not in panic mode, they are very confident right now. I don’t know that I prefer them in panic mode, but that’s where I hope they’ll end up as October progresses. I keep telling myself we get the government we deserve, and I basically believe that.
If I didn’t hate temperature extremes, people tell me Alaska is very nice …..
This is a bit OT but still something to think about. How scary would this be. This was sent to me via email, not sure of the original author:
It could happen!!!
Much is made of McCain’s age. Has anyone brought up the fact that Obama chain smokes and both of his parents died at an early age?
Plus Biden has had two brain aneurysms which could have killed him. If they both died while in office; that would leave Nancy Pelosi as president.
I can’t think of a more compelling reason to vote for McCain & Palin.
Oh my Lord!
.
.
Pelosi…
1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.
2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.
3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”
4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.
5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.
6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.
7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people’s health insurance coverage — they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false
8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska — she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it’s not a windfall profits tax.
9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.
10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation — he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won’t pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.

There are three items McCain needs to explore in the next debate:
1) The role of Democrats in stopping the reform of Freddie & Fannie, leading to this economic meltdown.
2) Obama’s ties to ACORN and the attempts by ACORN
to steal this election, and ACORN’s role in the subprime mortgage fraud.
3) The myth that Obama will be able to deliver universal healthcare (esp. given the huge debt left over from the meltdown and bailout), and the myth that a federal government-run healthcare plan will even work. From Gretawire:
Comment by FortWorthMama
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:47 am
Just a note to everyone out there who thinks universal health care is the answer to our problems here in the U.S. — having lived in a country (Canada) for 15 years with a universal health care system, I feel a little better qualified to speak on the issue that someone who has only heard about it — it SOUNDS good on the surface, but I can promise you we were taxed to death to pay for it (over 50% of our earned income went to income tax dollars, and we were just an average, middle class family). As worldwide health care costs went up, those tax dollars covered less and less, which resulted in horribly long waits for appointments and needed exams such as MRI’s, and more and more items which were NOT covered by health care and which have to be either paid out of the citizen’s pockets or covered by an expensive supplemental policy. If you are banking on a universal health care system to cure our health care woes, you are going to be sadly disappointed. As far as the debate goes, it didn’t change my vote — I thought both were respectable, but I feel Governor Palin came out on top (yes, I admit my bias TOWARDS her going into the debate). I made up my mind weeks ago because the McCain/Palin ticket espouses the same values and morals and positions I personally hold. I am still not certain of what the Obama/Biden ticket believes in – it seems to change depending on where they are speaking and to whom they are speaking. Thanks for letting me have my say. McCain/Palin ‘08
But virtually all of your fellow Canadians disagree with you.
I saw a poll in which Canadians were asked if they would trade their healthcare system for the U.S. system. A stunning 97% of Canadians said no.
Also, the lifespans of Canadians have also increased since you instituted your excellent health care system. Y’all are really lucky!
McC ain campaign has an ad out today attacking Biden’s lies. What Biden did in that debate is give McCain Palin a field full of fodder for attacking the O/B ticket for lies. A ticket you can not trust because they do not tell the truth. I think a big theme with Americans right now is a huge anger at politicians who lie to them.
The lies are well known to us. The ads will talk over the MSM who are not reporting them. Just like Sarah did last night.
I loved the debate!
Palin walked away with a clear win!
She hit so many points, the white flag of surrender, the windfall profit issues, praise for teachers, pre-conditions, and on and on!
Biden was rattled from the git-go! His low point, was the appeal for sympathy…yes, he has experienced trajedy, but every one knows it, and I feel that this venue is the wrong place! He knew he was losing and dragged that in!
Gwen Ifil did alright, but she should have brought up Biden’s division of Iraq, that he has touted in every speech he has given…until he was tapped for BO’s V.P.!
A slight disagreement now?
I’m proud to be an American, a Christian, and a supporter of McCain/Palin!!!!
When she did a shout out to the elementary school kids, I couldn’t believe it! It was so genuine and so down to earth. She needed to be herself and I think she accomplished that.
I am an exDem who proudly supports McCain/Palin!
Go Mac! Go Sarah!
You people are hilarious.She was horrible. She couldn’t answer simple policy questions regarding her running mate! She couldn’t articulate in a concise manner McCain’s stance on health care or the Iraq war or deregulation, she resorted to the same lame talking points about energy for every other question…oh and who exactly is McClellan??? Her lack of understanding the complexity of national issues is embarassing and unheard of for a serious candidate for office. Maybe if she picked up a newspaper….
Just because she was able to study and memorize talking points does not in any way qualify her for that office. Most Americans, according to the polls, do not want ‘jane six pack’ as vp but opt for a nice, smooth aged cognac who is capable of depth and introspection…and KNOWLEDGE. Besides, only 36% of Americans who watched the debate felt she won. And the rest of us are well aware of which type of voter that 36% consist of.
GEE Roxanne…does your deodorant cover Flop Sweat?
Palin did great….chuckle….Workingclass Anti-DC Folks will love her…
Roxanne doesn’t mind candidates who lie … that’s why she supports 0mama.
You are right to add ‘chuckle’ after “palin did great”. Come on, everyone knows that she’s a time bomb ready to explode which is why McCain never let’s her talk off script.
Someone also needs to inform her that nucular is not a word.
Roxanne:
Aren’t you late for your 6th grade Biology class? Get back to school now. Oh, you’re not 12? Well, you fooled me because you certainly write and reason as if you were…
Time bomb?….Roxanne…Next you’ll use hysterical…Oh Brother!….Get off this thread…It’s for grownups!….Sheeeesh!
Hey Roxforbrains, if she was doing as poorly as you suggest, why was Biden sweating? The back of his head got so red by the end of the debate I thought he was going to have a heart attack. She handed him his a$$ several times last night!
roxanne you and the other bots need to stop opening your yaps and removing all doubt about your Kooliad status and your foolishness. take a lesson in class from ifill. Until then go somewhere and shut up. She beat bidens behind, she shows up obama’s ineptitude that why you don’t like her, end of story, so take your opinion and peddle them over to the daily Kos because your foolishness only makes us hate your candidate with even more fervor than before.
Obama debate technique’s
1. constant finger pointing and interruption.
2. asked “hard-hitting” policy questions after they have already been asked and answered by infinitely more qualified seasoned professional (Hillary Clinton anyone?)
3. agrees with the policy stances of his opponent; whether they be Democrat or Republican
4. Reminds you that he “doesn’t look like” anyone else who has run for and won the presidency. [Hello Captain Obvious!!]
5. pulls out the chair for the “little lady” when what he really wants to do is bitch slap “whitey”.
6. Did you hear that I gave one anti-war speech in my home district at an anti-war rally? It wasn’t recorded at the time but David Axelrod made sure we re-recorded it with P. Diddy and Kanye West.
[another "Profiles in Courage" moment brought to you by Caroline Kennedy Schlosberg!!]
7. Tells us he is for [fill in the blank] before he:
a. votes against it
b. doesn’t show up to vote at all
c. votes his dearly beloved PRESENT
I know that you must think all of us McCain-Palin supporters are real dolts there Roxanne. I seem to recall dressing you down awhile ago regarding your name. I see, like the dense but lovely Roxanne of Cyrano de Bergerac, you are still taken with the “idea” of Obama and not the cold-hard reality.
See, I am a Democrat who will be voting for a Republican. I have no illusions that we have lost out on having our FDR [Hillary] this election cycle. I will certainly not be rewarding the candidate that best exemplifies a repeat of George W. on a personal level!
Let’s see what we have here. The Obama team (a month outside of the election) has pulled substantially ahead in key battleground states and most national polls, has two eloquent and well-informed candidates whom voters trust, and the vp candidate successfully sealed that notion with almost ninety per cent of debate watchers agreeing that he has the experience to be prez and most deciding he was the clear winner.
Then we have team McFailin. Plummeting in statewide and national polls, was forced to pull out of Michigan, a grumpy old man who cries ‘LIFE ISN’T FAIR” because of his ticket’s dire situation and a running mate who can barely put together a coherent thought without being coached for two weeks.
Reward whomever you want…we’re movin’ on withoutcha!
How many days Roxanne did Obama spend down at Walt Disney World trying to prep? Oh yeah, that would be 4 1/2 days.
How far ahead in the polls was Kerry at this time?
The media has shaped the perspective of the American voter because it [the American mindset] is one of the most maleable out there!
Bread and Circuses Roxanne, Bread and Circuses!
All candidates prep before debates. Then, they step onto the stage and convey to the public well-thought out,cogent,fluid and logically reasoned responses. They also analyze their opponent’s record and attempt to deliver clear, cohesive answers.
Key word being answer.Her handlers, apparently, didn’t explain to her what that word meant.
Finally, a viable candidate certainly does not study for two weeks just to be able to ‘pull off’ a half-assed performance to quiet those in her party who want her off the ticket.
That wasn’t a debate last nite. That was a woman fighting for her political future. And her performance was insulting to most Americans.
I thought you said you were gonna move on, Roxanne.
So……move on. Your naive koolaid blogs await you.
You did watch the debate didn’t you?
I feel sorry for you and every other Obamabot out there that refuses to see the truth about your candidate. The truth is starring you right in the face, yet you refuse to see the writing on the wall.
Yes, you have my pity and not much more.
I will try to save you and the others like you, who either aren’t listening and watching what is going on, or simply don’t care.
I have to believe that if you gave a damn about our country you would be as afraid as we are about what Obama will do to it.
If you think that lying, cheating and stealing is the way to get elected, then Obama is your man. If you agree with his friendships and associates then Obama is your man. I tend to think that we surround ourselves with like-minded people, yet you would believe that Obama’s friends are crooks and murderers, but not Obama.
You understand that the fraud in caucus and primaries was Obama’s attempt at cheating to get more votes right? Is that OK?
I am so damn sad that people cant see the writing on the wall.
Those of us Americans who can see it will help you out.
We will do all we can to insure that Obama gets nowhere near the White House.
We will use our votes and our voices to protect those of you who simply refuse to see or understand exactly what is at stake here.
Our freedom is not something Obama should be fu**ing with. Our constitutional rights are not to be messed with.
Obama is trying to have people arrested who publicly speak against him! Is that OK?
Freedom of speech is one we all enjoy, even on the blogs, yet Obama would have us arrested for asserting our constitutional right?
No Way IN HELL IS OBAMA EVER GOING TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY. Now he wants to stop the NRA from even advertising on television! WTF?
Read up on your candidate, if you don’t feel your rights as an American have been violated, then you must be living in your own little world.
WE will protect you and others like you who would vote for Obama, by voting for McCain.
I have been a democrat all my life, I will cross party lines this year because I can see what a danger Obama is to our country.
McCain/Palin 2008
Hillary Clinton 2012
Gov. Palin did a great job last night. I would guess small town Missourians really related to her. Her self-depreciating line about telling a “lame joke” was great, perfectly timed.
Sarah Palin can connect in one of the most powerful ways I have ever seen in politics. The Washington outsider is a great sell.
The MSM should be ashamed for their horrible portrayal of Sarah Palin. Greta Van Susteran has spent several days in Alaska talking to everybody who knows her and has done BY FAR, the best job of informing the electorate about Gov. Palin. Shame on the rest of those poor saps, including MoDo, who had to go to Wasilla Walmart, shame!
The McCain campaign needs to get Sarah Palin to Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania asap! McCain and Palin should be traveling separately to cover more ground and reach diverse audiences!
THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DAY GO BY BETWEEN NOW AND THE ELECTION, THAT I DO NOT HEAR SARAH PALIN’S VOICE!
The moment that she started to talk about Americans should come together to say “never again” regarding living beyond our means, I knew she was going to connect with television viewers out there. I felt her words and found myself nodding to what she was saying. Go Sarah go!
To me the most poignant thing Palin said last night was about not wanting to have to tell our children that America used to be free; about safeguarding our freedom and passing it on to our children.
My greatest fear is the loss of our freedom and democracy if Obama is elected.
Palin said it indirectly last night; the Repubs are hinting at it in their ads. They know, but if the people who have the voice to reach millions of people don’t start shouting it loud and clear, they will be complicit in our loss of freedom.
If the danger Obama poses to freedom and democracy is shouted from the rooftops the MSM and his other supporters will scream racism. It is dangerous because it may turn more people to Obama.
But – don’t people have the right to know the truth about what they will lose if Obama is elected? Shouldn’t they at least be warned? Give them a choice between believing their lying eyes or seeing the truth. Then they can’t say they didn’t know, only that they didn’t believe it. That is small comfort.
What do all the Obama supporters and trolls think all the “throwing under the bus” has been about? It is the equivalent of political prisoners in undemocratic countries. The bus will change to a prison if Obama is elected.
What do all the Obama supporters and trolls think the voter manipulation and fraud has been about? It is the equivalent of how elections are conducted in countries led by dictators.
Is this paranoia? I truly hope so but I’m afraid it is not. We all know history repeats itself and this has all happened before. What makes people think it couldn’t happen in this country?
Albert Einstein says the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” That is why it is so important to learn from history.
Joe Biden teared up on stage during the debate and the media thinks it was a great emotional moment. Hillary CLinton teared up in New Hampshire and the media nearly shread her to pieces as a fake. WHat if Sarah Palin had teared up talking about her son? Joe Biden is not ready to meet Ahmadinijad. I am afraid he may start to cry!!!!!
I distinctly remember Keith “I hate women” Olberman comment about Hillary tearing up…”it cries”. When Palin said “never again” I felt it. When Biden cried, I couldn’t help but think he was insincere. I guess it’s all about personal perception.
I’ve heard Obama, Biden and his surrogates constantly say that he won’t raise taxes on “anyone making less than $250,000 per year”. This is quite different than counting the entire family’s income towards the $250,000. So according to his plan what’s the limit for an individual then? My husband and I are small business owners and we work long hours to earn extra money to save for our retirement and pay for college. We make too much to receive money from the government, have to pay for our own health care, and we usually can’t take many deductions at both the federal and state level because we’re above the income threshold. Upper Middle Class people in our situation get hit worse than many others — not only do we pay more taxes but we also lose the deductions others get. We are making sacrifices for our success because we’re motivated to try and achieve the American Dream. But if Obama plans to take our money and give it someone else then we’ll plan to decrease our business volume which will impact our employees as well. Why would we continue to kill ourselves working only to give up the rewards for “Joe Schmoe” down the street who doesn’t care to work hard or make the right decisions? Obama’s tax plans are going to impact America in ways people aren’t really considering is what we think.
Wonderful, simply wonderful. Sarah Palin was remarkable last night, I am so proud of her.
She held her own with a very experienced candidate.
She spoke for me, she spoke of the corruption in government, NEVER AGAIN!
I believe she and John McCain will put an end to the corruption in the congress and senate and certainly in the DNC, the most corrupt body in government today. They have seen what has been going on during Obama’s run, the caucus fraud ala ACORN, primary fraud ala ACORN, and the way our votes were ignored by our own party.
I know that Palin won this debate, I am sorry that she wont get another chance at it. I would be proud to have Palin as my VP.

Mrs Smith goes to Washington
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/03/EDAR12MQR3.DTL
Palin didn’t tank so it’s a win for her. But she did not make the case that a McCain/Palin administration is a direct change from a Bush/Cheney one. Biden made the case for him and Obama. She also doesn’t know her running mate’s record very well. Biden knew it better than she did. Biden and Palin handled themselves like true professionals and both made no serious mistakes. However, there were no game changing moments for neither candidate and as much as you PUMAs and neocons want it to happen, don’t expect any real movement in the polls. Technically Biden won, but Palin was confident and poised and did not tank. She won but the immediate result is that McCain’s campaign is now off of life support for a few weeks. It’s up to McCain to bring it home and so far, he’s shown that he’s not quite up to the job.
Biden didn’t tecnically win anything, he lied repeatedly about McCain’s record.
Palin even called him on it and said the pundits today would set it straight.
At least the honest ones did.
Of course you’ll probably quote the ones who cover Biden’s lies.
I said this last night, but if Palin lied as much as Biden did.
MSNBC would spontaneously combust from all the hot air they would spew about it.

Not that anyone wondered…but if you needed confirmation that the MSM is in the bag, bought and paid for by Oprah, Soros, etc. for Obama, then last night was the clincher. Even a rat with a lobotomy could tell that Palin wiped the floor with Snarky’s azz. He’s disgusting. Just plain vile. He looked like a pedophile with his bad hair plugs and crappy face lift. Leering and smirking at her. It was the height of disgraceful by ANYONE claiming to be professional and a long time DC veteran. I really thought he wanted to strip her naked right there. What a pig. And him touching her arm after…ewwww….nasty.
I have had it with the MSM. I am tempted to rally all of my girlfriends and go picket NBC here in LA to strip Matthews and Olbermann of any journalistic credentials they have. It’s nauseating. I want to see their bank statements and who is writing the checks, because it’s officially a no brainer that they are in the bag for Obama.
She won. Period. She did way better than even I expected and I have been honored to be voting for her since way before McCain even announced her on the ticket. I pray to God the people of America get off the crack pipe and vote like responsible, America loving adults. This Obama nonsense has gone too far. I want my LIFE BACK. I want AMERICA BACK. And we have 30 days folks to make sure we get AMERICA BACK.

COUNTRY FIRST, PARTY SECOND
Roxanne,
Not that it isn’t OBVIOUS that you are a paid .05 cents per post Obama blogger….But, really, there are just SOME things you creeps can’t lie about.
As another blogger posted, where exactly were:
Gore
Kerry
Dukakis
Even Fritz MONDALE (up 18 points)
at this point?
Double Digit Leads, which Obama can’t get to and he can’t keep 50%. Now, truth be told, rather than blowing smoke and lies up your own azz, you should be embarrassed for the Dems. After 8 years of a GOP White House, Hillary Clinton would have been up 20-30 points by now. Shame on the DNC for their really bad judgment and their illegal activity to take Hillary out of the nominee spot SHE WON. Now, you pay with a loss. You and the liars in the media can spin all you want. You’re not voting for us. We own our votes, and Obama is not getting them.
Ciao Troll.
Palin, in a word, sincerity!
And something else. I always referred to her as “Sarah” before. Now I am saying “Palin”. Maybe I have been guilty of a bit of sexism (although I’m female) calling her “Sarah”, and now recognize her as a fully fledged equal in this race, and use her surname, as I do with the male candidates.
I just want to put this out there because yesterday an Obot had this story twisted as if it was Sarah’s gaffe and not Bidens-Sarah makes no gaffes and if she is accused, double check it. Exchange the names and you’ll have the truth…they are very desperate in Barky camp~
`quote from coulter-
“While Gov. Sarah Palin is being grilled on her position on mark-to-market accounting rules, the press can’t bother to ask Joe Biden if he could give us a ballpark estimate on when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president — or maybe take a stab at guessing the decade when televisions were first available to the public.
Being interviewed by Katie Couric on the “CBS Evening News,” Biden said: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’
For those of you who aren’t hard-core history buffs, Biden not only named the wrong president during the 1929 stock market crash, he also claimed a president who wasn’t president during the stock market crash went on TV before Americans had TVs.
Other than that, the statement holds up pretty well. At least Biden managed to avoid mentioning any “clean-cut, well spoken” Negroes he had met.”
