Sarah Palin Interviewed Today [Updates + a 2nd Video Update]
By SusanUnPC on October 3, 2008 at 12:45 PM in Sarah Palin
LATE UPDATE: “Thursday’s highly anticipated face-off between Alaska governor Sarah Palin and Delaware senator Joe Biden may be the most-watched debate in 16 years. … 42% higher than Friday’s [Obama/McCain debate]” - The Live Feed.
Carl Cameron, Fox News political reporter, talked today with Sarah Palin on last night’s debate, and about her previous media interviews. Update 1: Hey, I missed the earlier video of her, so am adding it at the top here. And I’ll try to catch the later videos, as they “unspool” the entire interview all day long.
Update 2: Even Politico’s Roger Simon praised Palin’s performance last night:
Update 2: Yes, even from the snide Roger Simon, there’s praise:
“You Betcha Sarah Palin Can Debate”
Sarah Palin was supposed to fall off the stage at her vice presidential debate Thursday evening. Instead, she ended up dominating it.
She not only kept Joe Biden on the defensive for much of the debate, she not only repeatedly attacked Barack Obama, but she looked like she was enjoying herself while doing it.
She smiled. She faced the camera. She was warm. She was human. Gosh and golly, she even dropped a bunch of g’s.
“John McCain doesn’t tell one thing to one group and somethin’ else to another,” she said. “Those huge tax breaks aren’t comin’ to those huge multinational corporations.”
She went out of her way to talk in everyday terms, saying things like “I betcha” and “We have a heckuva opportunity to learn” and “darn right we need tax relief.”
Biden was somber, serious and knowledgeable. And he seemed to think that debates were about facts. He had a ton of them.
Criticizing John McCain’s health care plan, Biden said that McCain would tax health care and “then you’re going to have to replace a $12,000 — that’s the average cost of the plan you get through your employer; it costs $12,000 — you’re going to have to pay — replace $12,000 plan, because 20 million of you are going to be dropped. So you’re going to have to place — replace a $12,000 plan with a $5,000 check you’ve just given to the insurance company.”
Got that?
Palin was a lot more direct in her attacks on Obama and a lot more simple. Criticizing Obama for saying he would meet with some foreign leaders who are hostile to the United States, Palin said: “Some of these dictators hate America and what we stand for. They cannot be met with. That is beyond bad judgment. That is dangerous.”
She also said: “An issue like that taken up by a presidential candidate goes beyond naivet and goes beyond poor judgment.”
Sarah Palin accusing Barack Obama of being nave? Yep. And she was unabashed about it. And so what if Joe Biden has been in the Senate approximately forever and knows a lot more about a lot more stuff than she does? She doesn’t care.
“You recently said paying taxes is patriotic,” she said to Biden. “In middle-class America, where I have been all my life, that is not considered patriotic.” …

I anticipate there’ll be more video coming later today, and I’ll try to keep an eye out for it. Enjoy this first part for now.

Obama Will: Gut Our Military, “Deep Cuts”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a91VZUi1IN4
Obama, August 2007: We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there.

Did Palin get it right and why has there been no mention about the above article. Here is the Daily KOS on Palin’s comments:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/3/143222/281
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to Michigan!!!!
6 years of Democratic policy is killing us. I can’t believe that McCain couldn’t take this state if he tried.
I never thought people from Florida and Michigan would vote for BO, given his support for stealing your votes during the primary, when they would have helped HRC; and only supporting counting them at the convention, when they would not matter, anyway.
I think that’s Sarah’s thinking also. McCain pulled out of Michigan. Think it has anything to do with ACORN? The court did rule in favor of McCain and Palin in Ohio, so I guess that’s one good thing. Now Brunner is acting like she’s elated the courts did this.
From the Washington Post:

It is fantastic that Palin not only held her own but out-debated Biden, given that he has 30+ years experience in the Senate.
She is a political star who is only just now beginning to come into her own.
PUMA!!
I think, too, that Sarah Palin is a rising star. Love to see a matchup between her and Hillary in 2012!
If it was so important to know what Governor Palin is reading, why don’t we have Soertoro/Obama reading list??? Palin is applying for the position of VP, Soertoro/Obama is applying for
kingpresident.Correction: the Plastic Jesus is not applying…he’s trying to stage a coup on the American democratic process by stealing, lying and cheating his way into the Oval Office.
And it looks as if is not that difficult to do. Who would have thunk it.
Well, look, it’s not like its the first time its been done!
You all keep me laughing every day, Thank God for you because otherwise I wd have gotten an ulcer by now.
Nothing may be revealed about the Chosen, you must be an Initiate to understand. Besides of which Obama doesnt need to read anything. You may have noticed that it actually kind of shows, doesnt it?
Palin was outstanding, surpassing what I expected. I could tell she was nervous, who wouldnt be? but I just kept pulling for her. Pretty soon I started feeling sorry for Biden lol.
Now I can say with full knowledge of the irony of this statement ‘Biden did pretty well!’
When Palin said the reason she wasnt real responsive in her interview with Couric because she was annoyed, it confirmed what I was thinking watching her in this interview. She looked like she was trying to contain herself in the face of what I believe was extremely rude behavior by Couric, condescending and snide. I confess I did not see the whole thing so that was my impression.
OT: House passes bailout bill.
Good luck to you tek.
Sarah is real, she’s fresh, she represents real Americans, not the left-winged elitist, arugula chomping, trust-endowed, Harvard educated overblown brainiacs who never had to seriously work for a living a day in their little lives.
It’s not about O-Bama, it’s Oh-Mama, Sarah Palin! She rocks the house!
McCain/Palin Nov 4th.
I’ll bet that a HUGE percentage of those 18 million disaffected Hillary supporters are grinning their faces off this am at Sarah “Oh-Mama’s” sterling knock-out performance at the debate last night.
Barky is dust.
You are right- and I am one of those mamas smiling this morning.
She is fresh and new and she does clean up the mess no party line in doing so either…I say her and McCain can’t get to Washington fast enough.
Here’s a good article on why some women hate Sarah Palin. We really are our own worst enemy.
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1846832,00.html
You can tell that was written by a man. Time is in the tank with Obama.
No, this was definitely not written by a man. As a woman, I know that women behave like this towards other women. I had already written on my blog weeks ago that feminists were foaming at the mouth against Palin because she was pretty.
I have seen some of the stupidest stuff written about her…how everything she does is against women…stupid stupid stuff.
Did you actually read the article I linked? It is not insulting to Palin whatsoever. It calls women out on their jealousy and hypocrisy.
This is why 1 woman should not try to speak for all women.
Are you a woman? I have been under the impression you were not. I am telling you that many women can relate to this statement as it is very much true in many respects. This is why Hillary is not our presidential candidate. If women stood up for other women instead of tearing them down, the world would be a lot different. But it’s a lot of self-loathing.
We have been fighting the “oh they are voting for Palin because they are mad about Hillary” and the “they are racist”
This woman just gave them something to use against us…How does saying we are weapons-grade haters,women get their hate on, they don’t just dislike, They loathe — deeply, richly, sustainingly..help us women?
Is that why you aren’t voting for Obama?
Are you voting out of anger?
I am not voting for him because he is wrong, his beliefs, the way he wants to turn us into a welfare country, no experience, his associates…it has nothing to do with anger towards him.
Hillary can fight her own battles and she did. She lost and yes I know Obama cheated in the caucus states and what the DNC did was wrong but she didn’t stand up to them now did she? She didn’t have to let that vote on the floor go the way it did. If I am angry I am angry at Clinton for not fighting. She let her voters down for not standing up for the truth and what was right.
McCain was always my #2 of the 3..who in there right mind thinks a freshman senator from Chicago can run this country? Look at all the things the president is going to have to deal with. Oh and Biden is going to hold his hand…what a bunch of crap.
Yes we don’t need women writing about how angry women are…and if they are going to don’t label us all.
I think you have completely and totally missed the point of the article. It was NOT saying that women are voting against Obama because they are angry. It is saying that when women decide they don’t like a woman, they are very vicious about it.
I LIKE what you say 30 yr dem… I LIKE what you say and am in full agreement. I LOVE Hillary. LOVE her, but I can not understand why she stood down… I trust her and her reasons though I will NEVER follow her coerced “suggestions” to vote for obama…
Women have got to stop this ridiculous, childish loathing of one another. You don’t have to like the woman who runs, you have to vote for the woman who runs.
Men have been running this country for 250 years. Need I say more? Can you imagine what this country would have been like run by women? You and I both know it would be a lot different than it is today. If woman don’t get a little more savy, we deserve whatever those good ol’ boys hand out.
Get a grip ladies and vote for Sarah.
Think about it. Don’t you agree that realistically the Congress should be half and half. Men think there aren’t enough intelligent women out there to be elected to fulfill that idea. Ladies, who has given them that impression? Start using your noodles!
Well I don’t vote for the bottom of the ticket but I am voting McCain/Palin and it is not out of anger it is out of trust. I wouldn’t trust Obama with my dog much less my country. I love them both.
I do like Palin and I think what she has done is very impressive. Show me any other woman in office, a gov. or senator who has took on the boys and won the way she has.
“I am voting McCain/Palin and it is not out of anger it is out of trust.”
You missed the point entirely. That is NOT what the article is saying whatsoever.
YES, YES, YES!! We make up over 50% of the population, 50% of the labor force (=pay taxes)so we should be properly represented and we’re not.
Queen Victoria - great leader…..
WOMEN WANT TO BE PART OF THE WOMENS MOVEMENT WHEN IT SUITS THEM.
I WONDER WHAT THE SUFFRAGETS WOULD
THINK OF WOMEN WHO … INSTEAD OF APPLAUDING ANY WOMENS RISE .. THEY PULL
THEM DOWN AND IN HE PROCESS MAKE T ALL WOMEN LOOK LIKE CATS.
THE NEGATIVE REACTION TO PALIN HAS MANY SOURCES…HOW COULD SHE BE A WOMAN AND NOT SUPORT ABORIONS…HOW COULD SHE BE A GOV. SHE WAS IN A BEAUTY PAGEANT…5 CHILDREN…THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER…ETC. ETC. ETC.
UNTIL WOMEN STOP PIBLICLY TEARING
WOMEN THERE WILL BE NO PROGRESS
FOR WOMEN….MEOW!
..
Kind of what Margaret Mead pointed out many years ago. Women as heads of state would be vicious. Threaten them, their country or family and women will fight back immediately, with overwhelming force and no mercy. Wonderfully refreshing. Mead saw women’s viciousness as a way to end war. Who would want a second match? I would love to see Senator Clinton or Gov. Palin and the Iranian Theocracy have tea. Speaker Pelosi on the other hand would only fawn.
Last week when Pelosi got in front of the mic and showed her ass like she did she hurt women in politics…today she is all smiles…it hurt women again…she has no in between. She is a disgrace.
You know about an hour ago a designer stopped by my studio with his asst. 30 yr.female O-Bot.
He is republican and funny and both of us are in our mid 40’s. In this primary season He ( a former Hillary hater ) has turned around and was impressed by her grit and performance in the primaries. He was totally surprised and gained respect for her while acknowledging Clinton’s accomplishments with the economy. He was one of the few sympathetic ears I could find outside this and a few other sites. I was grinning as we discussed Palin. I told him No Wonder you guys like her she like a combo Truman/Reagan. The asst. became really uncomfortable and said she HATED Palin. I asked her why…All she could say was Roe v Wade. I said that Palin would not force her beliefs on people. So what else…Why the Hate? She couldn’t answer me. I said you know…You sound just as blindly bigoted as and Rightwinger who HATED Clinton and could’nt tell you why…It was clearly that sad mix of FEAR/ENVY…Fear that True Equality means Responsibility…and Envy at a Woman who has it all…Utter Hypocrisy!
WhyPeach that we can have it all..and then Shoot Down those that do…sheeeesh!
Sorry about the man it was a woman…
True that…Women can be venomous towards other women…Remember the “feminist” BS Backlash at Hillary cause she chose to stay married to Bill? As if that was anybody’s business!
Puritanism is not only tedious but suffocating And Feminist (Purists) have shown their HYPOCRISY….only supporting women who agree with them & adopting the tactics of their opponents…It’s all tyrannical and extremist…
George Orwell and some other great British essayists wrote wonderful essays on the dangers of ” Puritanism ” which was their description of Ideological Extremism Intolerant of Criticism or Dissent….and therefore Totalitarian
No surprise. Women are cannibals. We eat our own. I’ve been saying that for years.
This is the most PATHETIC article…! I am a woman and I am appalled and insulted by the statements made here. The author not only succombs and belittles women, stereotypes ignorance, whines, but broadcasts quite loudly her OWN conscience.
I am 55 and a former democrat… And I find this article about on the same level as the nit-wits on the ‘View’ and the mush brained youth who lift their shirts up on tv to show their tits.
I think many women don;t like Sarah Palin for the same reason men don;t… SHE is STRONG, CONFIDENT, and INTELLIGENT and she DOES NOT and WILL NOT back down!
ALL power to her!
Sorry, but I agree with this article. It is an ugly truth I have seen time and again. Maybe because you are 55 you do not know how younger women eat each other alive these days. It is brutal out there. I have gone through so many female friends because far too many of them are backstabbing and vicious. Women are often jealous and want to bring you down if they perceive you to be prettier/smarter. Sad but true.
That would be the younger group, yes they do do that..I am not so old myself that I can’t remember the girls who would have a fat friend to stand beside just so she would look thinner…
They are jealous,and immature to do such things to there friends, but then were they ever really friends?
Well maybe that is why we need to have a more MATURE attitude about who and why we vote… and exactly WHY barky has NO business in the WH!
I always say as woman we should help each other out, raise each other up and respect each other. oh and keep your hands off of someone else’s husband. Call me old fashioned.
The DOW was dropping while dems were on Bush comes on and it starts going up…
Wait for the Hollywood Has -Beens Sarah Blow Back!
Can I say that?
Barky and Snarky are done. It’s October and Bombs Away time. I’m sure that everyone was focused on this bailout. Now that it’s passed, let’s get started on telling the TRUTH about Obama and his campaign of fear, terror, fascism, etc. He’s not going to run this country. We’re smarter than that.
GO ‘CUDA
Say No this NOvember 4th to Obama and his elitist (Hollywood) snobs! Let’s bring America back to it’s people! God save America from Commie Barack Hussein Obama! Spread the word people! Spread the word!
You Betcha
Palin won over the Working Class…She & McCain make a great team…lol…
Did anyone see Biden giving Palin the once over during the debate? Look at this video, about 10 seconds in. She turns to him & says her pleasantries, he smiles & the looks her up & down, right? I didn’t see it when I watched the debate last night because I watched on PBS & there wasn’t the split screen like that. I wonder how many other times he couldn’t keep his eyes off her backside?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBdzbSOLtcM&feature=related
While Palin and Biden were talking after the debate, Biden was rubbing his hand up and down Palin’s upper arm.
She kept talking, but moved away from him.
Biden is so scummy!
I knew ahead of time he’d want to bone her.
Biden’s been referred to here and on other blog’s as everybody’s crazy Uncle Joe. And I have to confess, living not too far from Uncle, we’ve gotten used to him and his, ahem - “ways”. There is some affection for him across the DE state line.
He’s a Beltway guy, trying to act like “one of us”, and he’s not always successful at that bit of stagecraft.
It’s just a shame his running mate is a crook.
Palin is terrific.
Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuwwwww!
Oh I can’t wait to hear more from the brilliant orator, McFailin. Please let her speak.Like a moose caught in the headlights, I miss those deft run-on sentences complete with a host of syntax errors, topped off with the word filibusters and incomprehensible fragment sentences.
Can’t wait to hear, though, how she finally decided to pick up a newspaper and read one after 44 years. Although literature such as “how to kill a moose from 800 feet in the air”, and “Moose-hunting Today” are not exactly considered prime publications to inform onesself about the issues of the day…lol.
But, its comforting to know that she does read something.
Roxanne…SOETEROBAMA…ISN’T LIKABLE ENOUGH….lol
Roxanna- why don’t you go back to your kitchen and finish the birthday cake you forgot to finish. And add a little bit of koolaid to go along with it.
Don’t hate Rox Arse, it’s so unbecoming:-)
Stop the hate, hater!
Did you read Simon’s piece above re Biden going on and on round and around misprepresenting McCain health policy with all his numbers and factoids??
Do you think people can grasp something THAT obtuse watching a debate — you think that was better?
You still don’t get the audience that she is speaking to — clearly, you are not it.
This is why Kerry didn’t ‘win’ the debates either — no matter how much he may have technically scored points or looked like the capitain of the debate team. People smell elitists and don’t like them.
Politico is clearly in the tank for Obama and has been for months — if even they can manage to compliment Palin, clearly she was doing something right and they are forced to acknowledge it — however grudgingly.
Roxanne - apparently all you read is NObama’s website.
ouch!
If Sarah isn’t reading any newspapers, there are growing numbers along with her who don’t either. The newspapers are laying off by the boatload, subscriber numbers are dropping at higher rates every quarter.
http://cancelthebee.blogspot.com/
http://angryjournalist.com/
The newspapers say it’s ALL because of the economy, but the poetic part of that is that they’ve been talking down the economy for years and now they have to drink from the well that they poisoned.
Couldn’t possibly be because ummm people have realized they’re not getting unbiased news reporting and their having to pay for that biased news reporting could it? That’s why I canceled my LA Times subscription. I wasn’t about to continue paying for one sided news. I could get that on the MSM channels.
Have some arugula you’ll be fine.
ROFLMAO….Aaaand wash it down with a double latte no foam cup o bullshit!….too funny hadenough
Can you explain, Roxanne, why you believe it is necessary to come in here and belittle and denigrate Sarah Palin? Is it because you are one of the women in the above post? One would think that due to your obvious dislike of her, you would feel more comfortable at a pro-obama site. No?
Roxanne,
Gov. Palin has a degree in journalism. I am quite certain that she has read a newspaper in the last 44 years.
Good grief!
Have you?
It’s an endless battle. Clearly Palin won the debate. But most of the media reports Biden won it hands down. It’s rediculous.
I would like to see an analysis on No Quarter of the bailout bill and I would especially like to know if there is any help for homeowners on Main Street so they don’t lose their homes. We know there are big tax cuts for corporations, included by Republicans.
I really can’t stomach reading that people think Bush did a great job with the economy and the whole meltdown is the fault of the Democrats. yes, they have blame, but when you start thinking that George W. Bush ran a great economy, you need to get to the phone and call your therapist for an emergency appointment.
Roxanne…you left your red light on!
I love this woman and I love McCain for his courage in choosing her. Dynamite!
McCain…chuckle…has outdemocrated the Democrats…Aaaaand I say More Power To Him!
YOU BETCHA!
roxanne you are a retard. Nothing in your stement is based on truth. Nothing.
I would love it if you applied the ame standard to Joe and O. But you do not. Joe lied all debate on every answer he told a lie. Obama has said some of the dumbest things possible but no one in the MSM reports it.
Also, she went to college for political science and journalism. So “she doesn’t read” your an idot and it is sad you think what latenight talkshow host say is true.
No one in alaska kills moose “800 feet in the air” but again i would not expect such a low information voter as yourself and the rest of the mindless spineless obamabots to tell the truth about anything or speak factually about anything because Obama/Biden cannot do that themselves.
Have fun spacecase Roxanne. One more reason that democrats are killing our country. You are so stupified it is beyond repair.
Hey roxanne… guess what’s for supper…?
obamoose!
OT - Limbaugh just mentioned breaking news at Chicago Tribune - about the arrest of Obama supporter and friend.
But I can’t find anything on it.
Go over here:

It’s probably about this guy.
Please send this to Sean Hannity .
Roxanne…You should be posting more. When David Axelnimrod gives you your paid Troll paycheck, at the rate you are going, that penny a post isn’t going to buy you much more Crack and Kool-Aid.
LOL…THAT’S OFFICIAL US GOVT. CRACK…WRIIIIGHT?

County rejects LARGE NUMBER of INVALID voter registrations
Oct. 2, 2008
it looks like they have turned off the phones and left town…
dum de dum dum….thanks for the link! WoooHooo ACORN is going to jail! yeah! One can hope, right?
ACORN runs into the same scandal every single election! How is it they are not disbanded?
I am so proud, grateful and thrilled. The McCain/Palin ticket is going to blow the Osama Biden Laden creeps out of the water. Everyone, start picketing the MSM and write to the heads of the networks. Their lies and bias have become detrimental to America.
any e-mail addresses to share?
I reside in an area where it has been extremely independent and quite frankly, leaning either or- but, since last night- without a doubt, the McCain campaign picked up the votes of at least 300 people on my block and community. We thank Sarah Palin for keeping our spirits alive. I usually do not respond to trolls like Roxanne, but, my area of residence would beg to differ. We’re upper midwest peninsula people and if you think that basic survival skills do not count, guess again.
I gotta believe Palin gives McCain a chance in Michigan! I betcha she scores big with a lot of folks up there. She and Todd oughta go up there and visit.
Palin is extremely likeable and relate-able to folks in small town Missouri.
The best thing about Sarah is that she really, really wants to find corruption and get it the hell out of Washington. I am so behind her. When you hire people from Washington, you don’t get much. We need someone with no ties to the crooks. I believe she can do it.
No ties to crooks!…that is true and a major selling point.
Just got these from the losers who call themselves the Democratic party in Florida … now that they are over run with 0mama’s people …
Dear :::::::
Last night’s debate was striking.
Sarah Palin channeled President Bush when defending John McCain’s foreign policy agenda, saying they hate us for our freedom.
She continued defending John McCain’s belief that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong.”
During the debate, Gov. Palin gave a spirited defense of George W. Bush’s failed policies that we’ve had for the last eight years, yet she didn’t point to a single way in which the McCain-Palin ticket is offering anything except more of the same.
Floridians can’t afford more of the same! Our nation needs change.
I know these are hard economic times, but we need your help. Your donation of $25, $50 or $100 will make the difference in this election. Click here to donate today:
https://secure.fladems.com/page/contribute/
The Republican Party is worried because Democrats, Independents and Republican voters across Florida are backing Barack Obama’s efforts to bring change so we can get our nation back on track and jump start our economy.
A few nights ago the Republicans had an emergency meeting in the McCain Campaign’s Florida headquarters at the George Bush Republican Center.
The Republicans see that we have continued registering a record number of new Democrats, they’ve watched as we have built the largest campaign effort in Florida’s history, and they noticed the tens of thousands of volunteers working every day to elect Democrats up and down the ticket.
With only 32 days left until Election Day, the Republican Party leadership is just now waking up to the fact that Floridians don’t want more of the same.
If you have $25, $50 or $100 to spare, please contribute today to the Florida Democratic Party’s campaign to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.
We’re stretching every dollar and doing everything we can with what we have. But every day we see firsthand how much more we could do and how far your donation will go.
Over the next few days, we will be making critical strategic decisions on our efforts to elect Barack Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket. We will be deciding how best to use the resources we have.
The money you donate today will go directly into expanding our Get Out The Vote program and supporting our Election Protection efforts.
Help us expand our campaign to elect Democrats up and down the ballot by donating $25, $50 or $100 today.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Congresswoman Karen L. Thurman
Chair, Florida Democratic Party
Hmmmm…I smell flop sweat in that florida memo…Is your computer OK Bee?
They won’t take Florida. I got a call the other day trying to get money out of me. When I told the person that I was voting straight Republican this election she got very annoyed and almost started screaming at me. The first thing she brought up is Gov. Palin. When I told her that since she was a Govenor I don’t see what the bid deal was. I was told that Alaska only has 6000 people. haha At that point I told her that I had to go.
You got that Wriiiight Mr. Smith…
Palin nailed Barky on talkin to Iran…You Betcha!
Thank goodness I have plenty of extra towels! Yepper … they sure have a knack for asking for money ….
I hear that John McCain raised $66 Million in September. Isn’t it amazing how quickly he can get these numbers out? While 0mama … who carries his forward and captures the first 15 days as well waits until he HAS to report? hmmmmmmm
Here’s the link … you 0mamabots remember what links are, right? Places where there are facts available? hahahahahahahhaha Read it and weep. 0mama has to raise four times that amount. Just.To.Stay.Even.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aXDGplGvlwTw&refer=home
McCain doesn’t have to keep fundraising… and can campaigning…Barky should be investigated by the FEC!….Aaaand all those Hollywood fundraisers are leaving a bad taste in the mouth of the Workingclass…I’m just sayin’
Sorry but I have to save my money for gasoline because Obama did not want to take the taxes off of fuel.
I got this in Maryland just this morning. Clearly this person hasn’t learned to mail merge, she always gives a generic Hi- before asking me for $28,500.00. She asks me to “share the message” so here you are!

Obscene!
Katie Couric had a valuable opportunity during the primary to interview and truly get inside the head of one of American’s most accomplished Senators, Hillary Clinton. She, Couric, spent more time asking the Senator about her *health-regiment* on the campaign trail. This brilliant woman - Clinton - was reduced to talking about *drinking lots of water and eating peppers.* It was a joke; Couric is a joke. And now that we are learning that her network severely edited the Palin-Couric interview, I have even less respect for her and, by extension, ALL journalists in the MSM.
“I may not answer the questions the way you want or the way the moderator wants”, and “I want to talk to the American people”. I really liked that about Palin, speaking directly to the American people. That is the way it should be and that is the way she did it. Both Biden and Palin in last night’s debate were better than both Obama and McCain in their debate. Seems their roles should be reversed. Biden/Obama and Palin/McCain. But then everything is upside down in this election. Fairy tale Obama and Moose hunter Palin. I’ll vote for the moose hunter any day but never for a fairy tale. LOL!!!!!!
YOU BETCHA! I agree voteamerican…
great, uplifting post! posting some of her remarks gave me a happy flashback, I’ll have to go home and catch a rerun of the debate….whoo hoo!!
Palin won by simply not falling on her face. Biden was a consummate pro and articulated his points perfectly. Biden made his case, Palin helped herself and kept McCain’s campaign afloat for a few more weeks. She won because the bare was set low.
BARKY…JUST ISN’T LIKABLE ENOUGH…
You Betcha! Kelvin
Just like Barky:-)
How’s it hanging teenie weenie kelvinee?
Stop the hate!
She’s only palatable at ALL because Obama himself has set the bar so low for qualifications for PRESIDENT, that it’s kinda hypocritical to go after Palin for vying for the #2 spot.
Kelvin I know you love Obama, but Biden was caught in over 10 out and out lies last night. Not only that he kept repeating a surge in Afghanistan would not work, then continually called for more troops in Iraq. What exactly is it Biden thinks a surge is? We’ve already added 20,000 more troops there. Him and Obama are calling for more. Biden knows exactly what a surge is. If we withdraw all our troops from Iraq and shift them there what exactly would Joe call that? the 20,000 additional troops we’ve inserted? Repeatedly last night he said a surge would not work then, then used double talk to do what? Call for a surge.
Kelvin…HELLO??????????? Biden was the consummate liar…….you better research is answers, bub.
Freudian slip there Kelvin?
Biden is a consummate liar (France throws Hezbollah out of Lebanon was my fave but not the only one) and at times babbled incoherently, making up entire new words.
Go away Kelvin, you are boring.
Kelvin Hearts…are you an Obama troll too? You clearly didn’t watch the debates the rest of us watched. Biden? SNORE. And he LIED repeatedly. Not just misquotes, but LIES. Obama doesn’t have a chance. Watch the tides turn this week.
Yes, Kelvin is an Obamatron, he frequently drops a crap for all to smell at Gretawire too!
Dear Roxanne,
Before you sharpen your red pen and move into the editor’s corner office, you might want to review your Strunk and White. Please pay particular attention to the the proper use of nouns as modifiers. You might also want to reference Webster to check on word usage, else you might leave people with the notion that you’re really Mrs. Malaprop.
Actually what I’d have loved to hear Governor Palin respond to Couric’s bit of officiousness was: “I garner information from a myriad of sources, none of which are Time, Newsweek or the Huffington Post.”
You have a nice day, ya’ hear?
About time Governor Palin gets some good press.
Sarah rocked last night. Did anyone notice how many times Biden had to repeat what he said. Like duh, we’re stupid and can’t comprehend what you just said.
Sarah Palin will be in California tomorrow at the Home Depot center in Carson. I will be there!!!
She’s comin to Texas too…Folks will love her here…
Damn Straight = You Betcha!
When is she coming to Texas????
Palin is on her way to Big D today…
rickrickrick…………give a shout to Sarah for me! Thanks!
Good News from Minn Poll McCain up by + 1
Minnesota Presidential Teeter Totter Tips Toward McCain: In an election for President of the United States in Minnesota today, 10/02/08, 33 days from the vote, John McCain and Barack Obama finish effectively even, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for KSTP-TV in Minneapolis, WDIO-TV in Duluth, KAAL-TV in Rochester, and KSAX-TV in Alexandria. The nominal advantage today goes to McCain, who is atop Obama 1 percentage point, 47% to 46%, within the survey’s 3.7 percentage point margin of sampling error. But: Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 20 days ago, Obama is down 3 points. How much of this is movement and how much of this is “noise” is unclear.
Minnesota behaves unlike other states in some respects. Among women, there is movement to McCain, at a time when McCain is losing ground among women elsewhere. Among voters younger than Obama, there movement to McCain, at a time when Obama is consolidating support among young voters elsewhere. Among voters older than McCain, there is movement to Obama, at a time when older voters elsewhere are sticking by McCain. In Western MN, which abuts the Dakotas, there is movement to McCain. In Northeastern MN, which overhangs Michigan, there is see-sawing back to Obama.
Joe Biden gave the impression that most Americans would be worse off financially as a result of Sen. John McCain’s health-care proposals. He drew on a study by the journal Health Affairs to suggest that 20 million people would lose their company-provided health insurance under the McCain plan. He failed to note that the same journal calculated that another 21 million people would be able to afford health insurance for the first time because of tax credits offered under the McCain plan.
From the Washington Post:

Obama’s campaign of CHANGE has now become a joke, why?
Biden quote last night “I’ve been doing this for 35 years, I am not going to change”
Joe, you are suppose to drink the Kool-Aide, not the wine coolers before a debate!
“Say it ain’t so again Joe” Obama talks to ghosts, visits 57 States with 2 still to go, heads commitees he isn’t even on and now you go to restaurants that have been closed for many years!
Will Sarah ever come out into the real world (the protective cocoon of Fox News doesn’t count), do some Q&As with real reporters? Or is that asking too much of someone who might be a heartbeat away from the Presidency?
The trolls will be out in full affect today.
THE TROLLS ARE COMING!
THE TROLLS ARE COMING!
THE TROLLS ARE COMING!
THE TROLLS ARE COMING!
Just keep repeating the Palin Mantra…YOU BETCHA!…LOL…It will be funny watching their heads explode…
Barky just isn’t likable enough
Haha, you think CNN/MSNBC are “real” reporters? You need to redefine your definition of the real world mate, because you’re sadly misguided.
As she said in not so many words, she does not answer to, nor care about the main stream media. More power to her!
MikeG…care to name a real reporter? Couric, Gibson? I would think Palin would give interviews if these people acted like a real reporter instead of a cesspool for Obama.
archie biden! Ha!
HEY! Bunker was at least AUTHENTIC … something you cannot say for either of the names on the “Democratic” ticket.
Gov. Palin put to rest any qualms about her ability or readiness to lead. If a Washington D.C. outsider can clean the clock of a 30+-year career politician who used every lie and smarmy trick in his arsenal, she can certainly help clean up Capitol Hill. I trust her. Can anyone say that about Biden, Obama or their corrupt Dem cronies who helped create the current financial crisis by refusing to rein in and clean up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Gov. Palin is something Biden, Obama and the corrupt Dems can never be — genuine, hard-working, honest and real. Biden, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Schumer, Dodd, et al, having built their careers on lies, can’t even recall what’s true anymore. Gov Palin simply is true — to herself, her family, the people she represents and the country she loves — from the top of her lovely head to the tip of those cool ruby-red high heels. Note to Sen. McCain — send Gov. Palin to campaign in Michigan! Go PUMAs. McCain/Palin ‘08!
Maybe Sarah the Moose Hunter Palin will resurrect the old Theodore Roosevelt Bull Moose Party (female version of course) after McCain serves his one term.
TR is one of McCain’s Heroes…That is one of the reasons I like McCain…I’m just sayin’
All the trend lines though are being are perpeuated from biased sources. Its honestly very HARD to get the facts when you have blatant over sampling and tampering with evidence.
Honestly I hope that there is a mistake because if anyone has done as much research on both candidates, this would be a normal “lesser of two evils” we find ourselves in every campaign.
I can tell you Obama has a trend line of dishonesty that effectively puts him into very evil and do not vote for.
I think Indies, will swing to Mccain. Ill put money up for that. Obama has been losing ground since the DNC convention. Voter turnout will not be as expected for Obama either, which I think is a repeating democratic mistake. Thats my take.
It should have been Hillary, and this should have been a HUGE democratic landslide win.
What to expect? New Hampshire repeat (HRC v BO) except on a national scale. JM will take the election.
If BO wins this election, it will be because of the MSM! Period! Sure, i have plenty of opportunity to inform myself for the vote, but millions of voters have no source but the MSM, & don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting the facts! The MSM has betrayed America! They need to be punished. How should we hurt them?
Do I trust Palin?
You Betcha!
Kelvin,
Did you actually listen to what Biden said? I couldn’t keep count of the absurdities and lies and misrepresentations. Take this one: “When we kicked — along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, “Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t know — if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it.” Now what’s happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.”
I must have had the flu because I missed that little US-French conflict entirely.
Did I also hear Biden call for US ground forces to go into two African countries? No wonder they want us to cut and run in Iraq. Obama and Biden have a whole slew of wars lined up and Iraq isn’t on their play list. Barack wants us in Georgia too.
And aren’t you a tad shocked that a sitting member of the Senate Judiciary Committee hasn’t a clue what’s in Section II of the US Constitution. He really doesn’t know that a VP “presides” over the Senate? Why does he think that dude sitting in the front is called “President Pro Temp”.
Why am I the only one thinking that Biden isn’t working with a full deck?
Great post, Portia. You’re not the only one thinking that. There are millions of us.
I noticed that President of the Senate exchange too. A first I thought O’Biden tone of voice (disgusted) was because he was thinking of Dick Cheney but now I think it was his true sexist nature showing through.
Poor Joe, the thought of a sitting VP exercising their power and in doing so violating the hallowed halls of their private club - and worse the violator is a woman - was too much for him.
Hmmm…Joe has had an Obotomy…nuff said…
And I was not commenting to you about the article there either.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF PALIN HAD GONE OVER AND HUGGED BIDEN AFTER HIS EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN? WHAT A GAME CHANGER THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN! IT LOOKED FOR A MOMENT SHE WAS ACTUALLY CONSIDERING IT AND ALMOST TEARED UP HERSELF.
Headline at drudge
SARAH SHOW: HIGHEST RATED DEBATE SINCE 1992
45% Of Households In Top Local TV Markets Watched Palin and Biden’s V.P. Debate
CONSIDERING PALIN HAS BEEN AT IT FOR ONLY 5 WEEKS, SHE DIDNT “UMM..ERR..AHH..UMMM..ERR” ONCE. ALSO THERE WAS NO “I AGREE WITH HIM” “WHAT HE SAID” OR EVEN “WHAT HILLARY SAID” AND NOT A TELEPROMPTER IN SIGHT! SOME DIFFERENCE FROM BO HUH?
Gosh….your comment is so true….I would love to see Palin debate Obama….you think he stutters now…OMG….he probably get so stress that he go back to smoking the crack pipe again.
YOU BET’CHA!!!
Sarah Palin is a breathe of fresh air! Impressed. Compared to that phoney piece of shit…Clinton 2012.
Colloquialisms, dialects and the snotty left.
Using Obama supporters’ elitist criteria, Mark Twain would have never left the river boat and Will Rogers would have just kept roping cows. And you know something else the worshipers of The One don’t understand? How very refreshing it is to hear someone who’s expletives don’t always start with “f”.
Just like Obama showing his total contempt for the residents of PA, every time an Obama supporter crosses the line with the name-calling and mockery, someone reading and listening becomes more determined to defeat this empty suit.
Sarah Palin is Occam’s razor to Joe Biden’s Rube Goldburg.
(ck and Betty, thanks for the kind words)
I watched Palin on Fox just a few minutes ago and I am very happy that she decided to challenge MSM and get on their stations. I have been waiting for her to believe in herself and stop following the stupid campaign’s advise. The first person I would like to see her go on is Chris Matthew’s show. Let him see the nice christian woman who believes in good values and also the love for her country. Let him see the beauty that some of us see in her and I am not referring to her good looks neither. The beauty within. I believe Chris has become angry and bitter because the Clintons and others have never wanted to go on his show. Of course we know why, don’t we? But, Sarah said she is wants MSM to make an effort and she will too. Go Sarah! Don’t worry about Gotcha questions from Chris. You have a smart mouth, charm the man with it. You used wit and charm and that is how you handle this man- poison smile and a “Oh…Chris…please…
Go Palin!She did great : )
McCain/Palin 08
Country First.
I am glad that Fox showed the democrats who would not do a thing way before we got to this point caught on video.
Did anyone notice -on the yahoo photos - Biden handling little piper Palin. -holding (squeezing?) her shoulders .
Where did Biden stand up & say -Stop the attacks on the palin family? did I miss it?
And now he wants to paw the kid.
