Palin Revealed On Cnn

[DanielNegreanu 141]

Was just catching up on youtube stuff and came across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seFDr2OLeGE...id=event_898548 I guess I'm confused. McCain wants to veto earmarks, Palin calls out Obama on earmarks... she was for the bridge to nowhere then takes full credit for stopping it from happening. I really don't like Sarah Palin and it seems that the rest of the country is starting to feel the same way as her popularity is dwindling as people get to know her better.

I'm onto part 6 and so far I think it's actually improved my opinion of her

Same for Obama. It's a shame those two aren't running against each other.

I'm watching it, and I'm not sure it's changed my opinion of her at all. Basically, the parts they are trying to make seem scary are just saying that she made enemies by being successful. It is interesting, though, to listen to the inflection with which they read the story. It's obvious there is an agenda here.PS I'm not voting for McCain/Palin.

I don't quite think that is accurate... maybe in your liberal circle of friends Dick Morris' latest electoral maphttp://w3.newsmax.com/a/morrismap/?s=al&am...omo_code=6AB2-1Real Clear Politics Electoral Maphttp://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/ma...bama_vs_mccain/Rasmussen "Palin Biden Make Believe Presidential match up"http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_con...ential_match_upLots of people here must be clinging to our Guns and Religion....Lots of us must want lower taxes and a strong militaryI wonder what he says about the american people when you guys are having a drink... Does he insult us when he thinks the mic's are off?Any plans to naturalize as a citizen of the US? Just a question... you are welcome too... even though we dis agree on almost every political issue... that is what makes this country great

September 18th, 2008 5:37 PM EasternPresident Clinton calls Palin “effective candidate”by Mosheh OinounouPresident Bill Clinton lavished some praise on Sarah Palin today, calling her an “instinctively effective candidate” who cannot be underestimated.During an interview with CNBC that aired Thursday, the former president repeated that he supports the Obama-Biden ticket and disagrees with McCain-Palin on many issues, but was still extremely complimentary of the Alaska Governor.Asked if he was surprised by the bounce McCain saw in the polls after selecting Palin, Clinton disagreed.“No, she is an instinctively effective candidate with a compelling story and I think it was exciting to some that she was a woman that she is from Alaska,” Clinton said. “And she grew up and came up in a political and religious culture that is probably well to the right of the American center but she didn’t basically define herself in those terms. She said ‘this is where I am from, I am not going to impose this on you, this is what I want to do that I think we can all be a part of.’”He added: “She handled herself well so no, I wasn’t surprised. I think that you know I disagree with them on many issues and that’s why aside from my party affiliation I would be for Obama and Biden anyway but I get why she has done so well. It would be a mistake to underestimate her…her intuitive skills are significant.”

Lol, A for effort this time at least. You might take a look toward Wall Street for the shift in the polls, not SP. She is still doing quite well in direct polling. Obviously not as well as after the convention bump, but that always happens.

[Balloon guy 158]

Democrat's changing wish list through the months:Let us all get to know Obama better and run a clean campaignLet us all just trust Obama will lead us and defend our guyLet us all ignore those things that don't matter and focus on McCain's ageLet us ignore Obama's past and get McCainLet us find something/anything on Palin, please

[El Guapo 8]

Daniel your HATE for Palin is weird and completely illogical. You have only known about her for a matter of weeks. There has been nothing proven to be over the top about her, and she is pretty much like 60+% of American citizens.I guess I just don't understand.I have no problem with you disagreeing politically or even morally with her. But to portray so much hatred toward her is just plain ignorant.We know a ton about Obama, I disagree with him on most of his political stances, I am afraid for what would happen to this country if he were to become President, but in no way can I say that I HATE him. I have no basis to make that statement, just as you don't have a basis to make yours. I would have assumed it was a bad joke, but you have said it multiple times now and I am befuddled by it.

Nice Try, Another YouTube Clip from CNN.Dirty Barack Obama

Obama Confused!http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmart...t.html#commentsShe Governed with INTERGERTY, unlike Mr. Present.http://www.slate.com/id/2200404/pagenum/2/This sense of responsibility for the welfare of one's neighbors—even those whose lifestyles or beliefs give you the creeps—is still alive in glimmers. Palin's enduring popularity across party lines in Alaska would not be possible without it. She has governed pragmatically and without ideological rancor. In 2006, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that the state was obliged to extend employee benefits to same-sex partners of its employees. The legislature subsequently passed a bill that would block the state from extending these benefits. Palin vetoed the measure, even though she, too, opposed the court decision. "Signing this bill," she explained, "would be in direct violation of my oath of office." In other words, she saw her ideological views as subordinate to her obligation to the rule of law. And unlike the legislature, she apparently saw no sense in creating further division when the only practical result would be more litigation and a heightened sense of division and offense.Your Thoughts.

I think for most Democrats that the annoying thing about Palin is the rampant inconsistency applied to her (in contrast to the vitriol from the GOP towards Obama).You guys were up in arms when Michelle Obama said that she was "really proud of her country for the first time" (often ignoring the word really which completely changes what she actually said.)But you could care less that Palin's husband did not register to vote until 25 and used to belong to a group that advocated secession from the US.You decry Obama's lack of experience and tout her executive experience (conveniently leaving out that Obama's STATE legislature seat came from a district that has 100,000 more people than the entire state of Alaska).And (since someone in this thread brought up Dick Morris) you had no problem attacking Hillary Clinton for "hiding behind the apron strings" (another Dick Morris gem) but all of you got in touch with your inner feminist once Palin entered the picture.As for Palin personally, she seems like she is ok. She does have a decent record of being a reformer and I was pleased to read that she went against her own religious beliefs and allowed same-sex partners to have benefits. She is not evil. However, I dont like the god's plan talk about Iraq and the general level of religiousness she seems to bring into her politics and her talks on politics. (I also am deeply scared by Pentecostal church members---though that is obviously something I feel personally on an opinion level)Further, in her interview she said one thing in particular that drives me insane. She said we had to do "whatever it takes" to combat islamic terrorism. I think that is a stupid and dangerous philisophy and it is the same stupid and dangerous philosophy favored by GWB. There are no goals that are worth whatever it takes. None. "whatever it takes" is bad policy. It is the same policy that has trashed our standing in the world. And because she has reiterated that philosophy a number of times I do not trust her with power. I dont trust anyone that advocates doing whatever it takes to do anything.

Except that there were 2 speeches and only the second one had the "really" to cover for the first one.But you could care less that Palin's husband did not register to vote until 25 and used to belong to a group that advocated secession from the US. Does Todd influence her politics? Has she ever done anything to make you think he does? Has he ever made a political statement in the campaign? MO was very central to the early campaign and until they muzzled her was very clearly influential on his politics.You decry Obama's lack of experience and tout her executive experience (conveniently leaving out that Obama's STATE legislature seat came from a district that has 100,000 more people than the entire state of Alaska). State senate and US Senate are not executive positions. Your decisions a filtered through a dozen or so others in one case 99 others in the US Senate. But, she isnt running for POTUS, and the comparison isnt relevant.And (since someone in this thread brought up Dick Morris) you had no problem attacking Hillary Clinton for "hiding behind the apron strings" (another Dick Morris gem) but all of you got in touch with your inner feminist once Palin entered the picture. Huh?As for Palin personally, she seems like she is ok. She does have a decent record of being a reformer and I was pleased to read that she went against her own religious beliefs and allowed same-sex partners to have benefits. She is not evil.

She said we had to do "whatever it takes" to combat islamic terrorism. I think that is a stupid and dangerous philisophy and it is the same stupid and dangerous philosophy favored by GWB. It is the correct philosophy if you want the US to continue to have minimal attacks on our shores. There are no goals that are worth whatever it takes. None. Wrong. Hirsoshima and Nagasaki were "whatever it takes" and were totally justified "whatever it takes" is bad policy. It is the same policy that has trashed our standing in the world. And because she has reiterated that philosophy a number of times I do not trust her with power. I dont trust anyone that advocates doing whatever it takes to do anything. And I dont trust anyone who has so little experience in negotiations and diplomacy that he would make some of the statements he has, and who reportedly begged Iraq to delay any withdrawal agreements until next year so that he could claim victory under his watch.

Yeah, we should only do thinks to protect ourselves that other countries agree with. To hell with our safety and security. If it angers someone or other countries don't like the way we do things we should change for them. Because other nations throughout the world know better how to protect us than we do.

[vbnautilus 48]

Does Todd influence her politics? Has she ever done anything to make you think he does?

Todd Palin: 'first dude' or shadow governor?Alaskans interviewed by CNN say Todd Palin has plenty of influence.He's not on the state payroll, but lawmakers say he is a central figure in his wife's policy agenda.

Lots of innuendo, short on fact. He has not been paraded out on the campaign trail like Michelle has. When he is there will be some equivalency.

Gee, that's some insightful commentary there, Sandra.

[CaneBrain 95]

If it angers someone or other countries don't like the way we do things we should change for them. Because other nations throughout the world know better how to protect us than we do.

I am not sure if this even relates to what I said. I am saying we should not do whatever it takes. But yeah, I was totally saying we should hand over control of our national security to the whims of our enemies and allies. That was totally it.Cop, I 100% disagree that a "whatever it takes strategy" will be most effective at preventing attacks on American soil. I think it weakens the military, erodes our moral authority on world affairs, and creates as many terrorists as it defeats.The part you responded "huh?" too.....I was merely trying to point out that the GOP attacked Hilary for crying sexism and then couldnt wait to get on the Palin's detractors are sexist train.

this isn't true. I was feigning the excitement I had for McCain before he picked Palin.
