Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[rjs246]

I don't really think there's much to discuss here. Palin is in over her head. Even members of the Republican party see that. I had hope initially that she would add something interesting to the race, but she's a clown. A side show. She regurgitated catch phrases and attacked rather than answered last night. If she's in office after this is all over this country deserves what it gets.

country voted for w twice and currently IS getting what it deserves

Palin seemed like a girl who did a good job at prepping for her High School debate. Someone who would easily have earned an A+. Of course this was not a high school debate.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Guess what?  The government is farged regardless now.

[Father Demon]

Yeah, but look at the bright side.  In four years, you, me, and the other righties get to sit on here and tell everyone "Told you so" while bringing up all the blogs that say the Dems farged our country up.

[rjs246]

Dude, if history has taught us anything it's that it will take at least 6 years for the country to be completely farged and for the blogs to reach critical mass.

[Father Demon]

You will rue the day.

[rjs246]

Consider my day rued.

jesus, does she ever stop? Her trying to disqualify anyone from anything right now is beyond ridiculous...and her comments about the interview with Couric are embarrassing.

Palin calls Obama comment 'reckless,' criticizes Couric

Palin says an Obama comment was reckless.

(CNN) — Sarah Palin said Friday several of Barack Obama's comments about the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have been "reckless" and disqualify the Illinois senator for consideration as the next commander-in-chief.

The comments are among the Alaska governor's most pointed to date regarding the Democratic presidential candidate's readiness to serve and come one day after she aggressively jousted with Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden.

"Some of his comments that he has made about the war...I think, in my world, disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander-in-chief," Palin told Fox News Friday. "Some of the comments he's made about Afghanistan, what we are doing there, supposedly just air-raiding villages and killing civilians — that's reckless."

Palin was referring to an answer Barack Obama gave at a August 2007 town hall meeting with New Hampshire voters, during which the Illinois senator was asked whether he had plans to shift U.S. troops out of Iraq to other terrorist hotspots like Afghanistan.

"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 pressure over there," Obama said of the U.S.'s mission in Afghanistan.

Those comments were immediately seized by GOP critics. The Republican National Committee sent out a press release shortly after calling them "offensive," and demanding he apologize. The McCain campaign has also highlighted the comments several times this campaign season. An AP Fact Check later reported Western forces had been killing civilians at a higher rate than insurgents.

Palin also commented Friday on her widely-panned series of interviews with Katie Couric, telling Fox interviewer she did not think the CBS News anchor asked enough issue-based questions.

"I did feel there were a lot of things she was missing in terms of an opportunity to ask what a VP candidate stands for, what the values are that are represented in our ticket," Palin said. "I guess I have to apologize for being a bit annoyed, but that's also an indication about being outside that Washington elite, outside that media elite also, and just wanting to talk to Americans without the filter and let them know what we stand for."

In two separate and lengthy interviews with Couric over the last week, Palin seemed to struggle with a number of answers, including a defense of McCain's record on regulation issues. She also appeared to stumble when relating her views on the financial bailout, her foreign policy credentials, her preferred news sources of news, and a Supreme Court case she disagrees with.

"Man, no matter what you say you are gonna get clobbered," Palin told Fox about her heavily-scrutinized performance. "You choose to answer you are going to get clobbered on the answer. If you choose to pivot and try to go onto another subject that you believe Americans want to hear about, you get clobbered for that too."

Reckless because it's true? I mean maybe not just air-raiding, but civilians are definitely getting hurt. Then the ground troops go in to try to win their hearts and minds. If somebody bombed my village then asked for my help, I'd tell them to go get farged.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No one cares.  The race is over.  You won.  Congrats.

[PhillyGirl]

She's become an insult to women everywhere.

With the winking and acting like she's up for a farging beauty pageant and the cutesy act...its a downright embarrassment. And the fact that so many people are eating it up and saying, "She's the REAL kind of person we need in the White House" scares the shtein out of me.

[Wingspan]

jesus, does she ever stop? Her trying to disqualify anyone from anything right now is beyond ridiculous...and her comments about the interview with Couric are embarrassing.

If her comments are ridiculous and embarrassing, why do you want her to stop?

This whole thing is hysterical...repubs are scared of Palin...but the dems are terrified of her.

[ice grillin you]

god damn right im scared of her...every person in the country should be terrified at the fact that she could become vice president/president


and what exactly is sara palins world?

[Wingspan]

Just to clarify, i would actually be scared if EITHER VP candidate was to be president. I dont like either one of them. So...It's it's not a factor in my decision at all.
