1. I am terrified at the prospect of this inexperienced undereducated woman representing the United States perhaps someday sitting across the table from Nouri Maliki. (Incase she doesn’t know he is the Prime Minister of Iraq). He would eat her for lunch. She is fine as the governor of the huntin and fishin State of Alaska but she is way over her head on the national level let alone the international level..
I am a woman and I find her Brash and it would seem a bit difficult to work with.
And Scarrrrrrry

2. Yeah...that sounds a scary and I'm sure it won't sit right with lots of folks....but, once explained, she had an opinion. I've never heard of the Bush Doctrine either. Of course, I'm not running for anything.
All Presidents and Vice Presidents have knowledgeable people around them to cue them in on the subject at hand. So it's really not that big of a deal, do you think?

3. Sarah Palin has imminently more experience than BO. I find her to be Fantastic! Electrifying! Experienced! I can't wait to vote for her and John McCain! She will insure that the Republican ticket wins this year! McCain/Palin in '08.

4. Aside from the vagueness of the "Bush Doctrine" someone tell me how many up close & personal interviews Obama was subjected to early on in his campaign?
Why is it that the frontrunner for the Democratic ticket 18 mos. later still has so many voters "curious" about his past? Some voters have chosen to "accept" Obama's answers to very important underlying issues.
Give Palin 6 mos. on the national scene then re-interview her Gibson.
I think the American public certainly deserves to know the candidates but they also need to be aware of the process that's playing out skewing the objectivity of that same process....

5. I think Ana's a little obsessed with Sarah.

6. Bush Doctrine: Let see. You have Cnn version, ABC versin, Msnbc version, The do nothing congress member versions and the list goes on. I wishe she would have countered with that question but she has class and I think didn't wnat to hurt Charles11 I would put money on it. Some say se is uneducated etc. If you think that I really would like to see your bavkground etc. I bet you wore the dunce cap many times.

Question to CA Wren:
I asked Susie the same question in the last blog. She also represented one of you "Matt Damon" scared as hell voters. Seems to be an epidemic of fear going around since the all wise Damon made that little quote.
Please tell me how you think protocol works for heads of state when making decisions?
Is this what's dancing in your head?
McCain or Obama, our newly elected president is at their desk in the oval office & an aide walks in to present the president with an issue of national interest.
Yo Prez, the Pentagon just texted us & that fuckin' Putin is actin' up again. They wanna know in 5 minutes or less if we need to bomb his ass into oblivion or just let him take over the place. This shit is gettin' into their golf game & they ain't takin' it so well. They say "bomb his ass"!
THREE HUNDRED ADVISORS to tutor one man & you're scared to death this woman is going to be victimized all by herself at the hands of Maliki.
Get a grip please, this saddens the hell out of me that people really do cast their vote & are so easily taken advantage of by the propaganda that's being spread....

8. Sarah Palin is a straight shooter. I have grown to have absolute contempt for the media, and I believe that this election may mbe a referendum against the media. The twisted version of everything she says by the media is contemptable.
misty at 10:50PM on Sep 12th 2008
9. the best one was tonight when right after she said she hired a lobbyist at 30,000 a pop to lobby for her pork, she said that she stands for not having lobbyists run around washington influencing people.
the woman is koo-koo.

10. When I saw the skew & twists you put on everything Palin said, I was ready to set you straight. I see that noone who read this pays any attention to your ignorance anyway. So I will not waste much energy on someone who has no sense at all. However, one of your most stupid mocking remarks, I will address. If someone asks you about the Bush doctrine, unless you are a mind reader, You need to do exactly what Palin did: find out what part of that doctrine they are referring to. Idiot!

11. Today's talking point is apparently "scary". It came up in the cross talk as Olbermann (sp) handed it off to Maddox tonight. it made an appearance here today on several occasions. Yesterday it was "crazy", I think. Tomorrow it will be something else.
It's so transparent it's laughable.
Oh and btw, when did Olbermanm (sp) start getting Botox injections? He's looking more and more like a gloomy Max Headroom every day.

Comment to Bobby
Are you really that much of an idiot..?
to make a statement about someone's honest opinion and shut it down with your own ignorance. It's the American way... it seems. You could run for President also by your standards...
Propaganda? Your propaganda as far as i'm concerned.

13. Thank you TYT. Even the least educated American should be able to get it. 2007 McCain and Palin continue to support and fight for law that victimises rape victims further by charging them for a rape kit exam to collect evidence. The state is supposed to pay for collection of evidence due to crimes. Maybe they hope this will deter victims of rape from reporting.
Joe Biden has fought against this Law. Biden is Barack Obama's V.P. choices.
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Vote ObamaBiden at 11:28PM on Sep 12th 2008
14. So she did not know what the Bush Doctrine is? I would think that would make you libs happy. Someone who has no preconceived ideas and is only interested in the FUTURE. Both parties have nominated NEW PEOPLE to go to washington and make changes. That is right !! Those of us on the right side want change also. Maybe you libs are too slow to figure that out.
JIM at 11:38PM on Sep 12th 2008
15. Count me as another vote for Palin! But it really doesn't matter to me who people vote for as long as they vote. And if you are pulling the level for Obamanation, remember that it was people like McCain (who had the guts to wear the uniform of this great country), and people like Palin (mothers who have given their sons and daughters)who paid the price for your right to do so.
God bless, good luck, protect yourself at all times. Let's get it on!
