I feel hopeful after reading these comments that most people have not be duped by Sarah Palin. The most notable comment, in my opinion, is that McCain picked her to better ensure his presidency, NOT as he would have you believe, for "Country First" It's McCain first all the way..

Paling is a foo foo bunny. One of those high maintenance pretty girls that went to college to become a dental hygenist or weaseled into an HR job and hires people based on looks and gut feelings instead of qualifications.
And if she fires people she crucifies them by calling the police to make sure they are escorted out the door properly. (..of course this is an exaggeration, but I really feel that she is mean person to work for…. cold and heartless…)

I am an evangelical who will not vote Mcain. The bible clearly say bad company corrupts good morals. Since she is a Politicians and Politicians Lies she's a Liar too. Why should I vote for a liar. What examples are these Republicans teaching our children, that to get any thing in life just lie your way through. What a role model. Mcain does not get this evangelical vote.

How come, cnn, polls show McCain lead, but your comments like 90% pro Obama ? Nice job, moderator, keep pushing your Nobama. Just don't forget there is such a thing like a backlash, people don't like then media is pushing their opinion on them.

I'm not sure what concerns me more…the fact that Mr. McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate…or that some people are actually going to vote for these two!!!! Palin's interview with Charlie Gibson was absolutely pathetic!! It's almost like the past eight years never happened??!!? The question is….will they allow Sarah Palin to be interviewed by anyone other than that idiot Sean Hannity or some other Fox News neo-con nincompoop? USA USA USA USA USA Obama/Biden 08′

Well, she'd truly be an idiot if she told the bridge-lies in the state where the controversy actually took place. Obviously, she's not a complete idiot, or she wouldn't have gotten this far.

Tina Fey is much smarter, much, much prettier, and would have made one heck of an impression, don't you think? Much better than her look-alike.

McCain has no chance to win. The simple fact is there are many, many more Democrats than Republicans. Nevada alone has 3.1 Dems. No Dem (save for a few misguided) would ever vote for this GOP ticket. Even if they split the independents (who swing more left than right – that's why they are registered independents) and undecided, Obama still wins on the numbers. McCain is shrinking in the polls each day anyway.

Cnn, of what people are blogging.
Why do you defend Mccain and Palin. Do you atually read these blogs and do an analysis
Its very clear from what I read each day on every blog McCain ?Palin are consistenly getting disaprovals so who are you calling for your polls.
I suppose you beleive we need another 8 yrs of disaster.
Enough.
No MCain No Pain

Hey moderators, can you tell me why every post I make needs to be moderated. I'm voting for Obama, doesn't the media favor everything we have to say without question?

What continues to surprise me is NOT the attitude and behaviors of the average Republican voter that is yelling for McCain-Palin.

What surprises me the most is the dead-brain Democrats that are out there yelling for Hillary, as though–

—The Republicans would have had it difficult to beat Hillary
—There were substantive differences in policies between Obama and Hillary
—They were less interested in the Democratic Party policies, and more about the candidate
—They, like the dumb Republicans, have never learned anything of the past 8 years!!!!

Obama doesn't tweak he just lies.

McCain/Palin = God For America

Obama/Biden = Good For Nothing

What a bunch of whiny hypocrites you are. You whine that Sarah Palin can't say anything original if she sticks close to the same speech (something that all politicians who have a message do), but if she changes the speech one iota to tailor it to her audience (something all politicians do if they have any brains) then she must be lying. That grade-school logic, which you conveniently don't apply to Obama and his speeches, won't cut it in the adult world.
I think it's hilarious that someone suggested that the press wasn't going after her. Amazing that you haven't noticed they haven't asked Obama any tough questions about how he expects to make us energy independent without developing our own resources and without raising taxes to pay for it. The Democrats have never met a tax they didn't like.
And spreading rumors about her family is a new low, even for the lying Democrats. I'd say you should be ashamed but you have to have a moral core to feel shame.

Helen, Obama wasn't afraid to sit down with Bill O'Reilly, so don't say he hasn't been grilled, by a Fox conservative at that. You Republicans need to stop blaming things on the media and look in the mirror.

The rep got the puppet they needed in Palin, someone who wouldn't ask a lot of questions, someone that would say whatever they told her to say. Put her out front to help take the heat off of McCain and also pick up those gullible womens who wouldn't vote for Obama anyway and to vote for her just because she's a women, not caring anything about issues.

McCain/Palin person:

You say McCain/Palin have a good record.
Majority of people listens to CD's My Friend.
I love listening to Obama& Biden CD's because they talk
about important issues and how to solve them like the economy for one.
Try putting McCain/Palin record in your car you won’t go far.
Because it's old, scratched and keeps repeating” thanks but no thanks” and can I sale you this bridge to nowhere Charlie.

Obama & Biden ‘08
Hillary & Warner ‘16

I'm just a little curious about the picking of Gov Palin for VP. Why would you pick someone who is under investigation for abuse of power or whatever the charges are? Isn't this risky? What will happen if she is found guilty of the charges and how serious are these charges? if John Mccain is elected with her as the VP and the investigation is not completed until after they are in office then how can she serve? My theory is Sarah Palin was not the one John McCain actually wanted as his VP and because he was not really accepted or wanted by his party he is using Gov. Palin to try and win the election. If she is convicted of wrong doing after he is in office, how would she actual be able serve as VP and therefore he can pick the person who he really wanted in the first place which would be Joe Lieberman. He will already be in office so he will not be looking for approval by the party on his VP pick. This might be a great way of getting what he wants and also getting back at his own party. Remember repubs., you get what you ask for.

It's pretty obvious that the McCain/Palin party doesn't think the American people are too smart. What overt manipulation, such double talk. What happened to straight talk McCain?What happened to Country first? McCain has sold his soul and the american people are not going to put up with it. Obama isn't perfect either but he has vision and is trying to take this country in a new direction. Why would we want four more years of a Republican administration? People, do your research and vote Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Palin is elected for VP, the world will think everyone in America is as smart and knowledgeable and honorable as Palin and McCain. Is that great? They will march the military to Russia the second day if they can find where Russia is.

How do you tell if Sarah Palin is lying? He lipstick is moving.

I guess eventually the media will show the protestors against McCain and Palin. I know it is not being shown because the media want to keep making Americans think Palin is drawing new voters when she really isn't. If you really want to be the first to report , you need to how the American people are really feeling. You can see alot using the internet. I know Republicans want us to think it is close. America is not falling for the tricks of the media. People are speaking out in large numbers.

Republican for Obama September 14th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

I can't quite understand how people haven't seen through her yet, this woman has NOTHING to qualify her to be in the White House

Answer:
because the old boys cant stop swigging Jack Daniels and beating off to the bikini putbull in stars/strips swinging a gun. yea, the photo is cropped, but then the good old boys don't seem to care about lies.

And another thing… Women who have fought so long and hard for rights, why are they allowing the sweat, blood and tears to be turned into campaign tricks and lies. I thought women would spoken about the fact that the republicans are using their "sacred" cause for politics. When you say someone is being sexist it's just as bad as saying they are being racist. Sometimes I wonder if when Maher calls us as voters stupid, if he is not dead on the money!!!

As opposed to Obama who told Israel he will support them 100% only to tell Palestinians later the SAME day he supports their struggle and will get them their lands back.

Failin doesn't even write her own speeches, the speech writers for Bush do. It's easy to tell because they are as clueless and full of lies as Bush's speeches are. She is ignorant about most everything, and, like bush, she just puts friends in office who also don't know what they are doing. If her and McLame are in the White House, their administration will be even more disfuntional than Bush's was! And our economy will go even further down the toile. Anyone who votes for them and not for the brilliant and insightful Obama is what I would call a true traitor to this country!

One thing her speeches are doing; uniting Independants and Democrats.

Bring on the debates

She is the GOP Parrot!

NO WAY! NO HOW! NO PALIN!

If Mccain going to tell lies to win, how is he going to address issues tuthfully?
I can't admit on the view that his campaign is lying about Obama children ad and He Mccain at the end said i approve this message.

Mccain can't tell lies and call himself maverick.
Or is that how to be marverick to lies, or smear, destort Obama recond to win an elction?

I thought he said he is putting American first, why is Mccain putting America first when he lies against his compatriot?

McCane and UnAble are liars. Period. Full Stop. At the end of the day, I can't imagine how they face God. What religion excuses blantant lies?

Palin "tweaks stump speeches", it should read "Palin tells certain audiences only what they want to hear." Which equals anything to get elected by vulnerable/gullible voters.

Thank you for actually mentioning Gravina Island by name. Those of us who live here get really, really tired of being referred to as "Nowhere" all the time, especially by our very own governer. It's insulting and unfair that this needed bridge in our community has become the reviled object of scorn, nationwide. No one knows or cares where we are, therefore, we certainly should not have a bridge! She did not do this Alaskan community any good with her "thanks but no thanks" speech, and spending the money elsewhere just added insult to injury. Gov. Palin is an aggressive, skilled politician and would fill the role of vice president very capably. But she does not care about the ordinary people in small communities.

SHE SHOULD TREAK HER SPEECH AND START TELLING THE TRUTH. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING. SHE IS NOT ONE BIT OF CHANGE FROM WHAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS. SHE LIES, MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY (BRIDGE TO NOWHERE), IS SECRETAIVE, ALLOWS HER HUSBAND (FIRST DUDE) TO HAVE INFLUENCE ON GOVERNMENT WHEN HE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, AND ON AND ON AND ON. LET'S WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.

CHARLIE shud get off the Air!! Charlie gruelled Pallin unnecessarily!
Has he ever done that same type of interview with OBAMANATION!

It amazes me that no one has yet to discusss this idea: With all the scandals that have accompanied this White House, do we really want to start another White House with Scandals. Almost everybody in Bush's administration had to step down, the two main people to have stepped down (Bush/ Cheney) slides by, but you really mean to tell me that you are going to put another person in there with so many scandals. What happens after they get in? If this is before getting in, what happens after they get in? WOW, let me see what America does.

There she goes again, "we are going to expand nuclear energy" and start a nuclear war! And this is "tweaking."????? Are we that stupid? Really?

So stupid. This fringe group does not think. They believe that a person who has run a Mom and Pop Store )Wasilla) is capable of running Microsoft.

He is lying his way up to the white house. America this is a warning sign. McCain/Palin are not telling you the truth imagine what they will do when they get in. Do not believe any promise make by McCain/Palin they are all lies.

I think she is the problem with global warming..When she talks,it could melt any ice-cap.Wake up Americia,she is only a heart beat away..Think about it !!!

Hecks, I figure she made the mistake about being in IRAQ, when she was actually in Kwait, and saying she visited Ireland when it was only a refueling stop (she probably didn't even get off the plane) was an honest mistake. After all, her degree is in journalism, and with noboday telling where she was she probably just didn't know. Just like she don't know where she is right now!!!

Hey, she is a skilled politician. Say what you will about her, but she did manage to get elected twice as mayor and is now the Governor of the state. A state that I'm sure will be happy to have her back on November 5th after Obama/Biden win the election on the 4th.

Obama/Biden '08

Palin is a phony and not very bright. McCain is a warmonger, senile and an idiot.

Why are so many folks being fooled by these folks? Is it race?

By any objective measure, given our present circumstances both foreign and domestic, a reasonable person would conclude that the Obama-Biden ticket is our only hope. It is a shame that many Americans are either too racist or too stupid to understand that McCain is just 4 more years of Bush and his republican failures.

Obama is running scared and does not know how to compete against Palin. So he and his followers are making stuff up!

Also, Obama has nothing to compare for experience against Palin. She has run local and state government, while Obama has NOT!

It surprises me that there are so many "blind" people following Obama and have no idea how WRONG Obama is for our country.

Being a Hillary Clinton supporter who is now going to vote for McCain/Palin because I want someone with experience to lead our great country out of this mess that we are in. Obama is truly the WRONG choice!

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

I am not a self-professed christian, but I do know that Sunday isn't just a day off from work…….it is a day of worship and appreciating life.

I like Sarah Palin, for what it's worth. My wish for the day is for her God to give her the strength to stand up to the hurtful rhetoric that is thrown at her.

Charlie,
Thanks for the link.

"NO THANKS" Mrs. Palin

I am a woman, but won't vote just because there is another woman running to make a history.

No doubt about it, the American voting public will elect Dumb and Dumber in November.

Not doubt about it, any country which elected George W. Bush twice deserves what it gets.

Isn't that the EXACT definition of pandering? "Tweeking" your policy speech to appeal to a different audience?

This is what everyone wanted to see, experienced and flexible to change, not rigid and having to read the same ol speech.

A nice difference with her is she didn't change policy in her speech, she highlights what they care about or what message she wants to convey.

Unlike Barky Obama who actually LIES on his trail. He goes to Oregon and touts all clearn and renewable energy, but then goes to Montana and the like and talks about the DIRTY Coal he wants to promote.

…at least Backtrack Barry was for coal before he was against it and then back in favor. He was the only loser pushing Tax Payer Liquid Coal, TWICE no less, that would have increased CO2 and global Warming at twice the rate.

McCain/Palin
a winning ticket!

Why is this a story?? Every candidate adjusts his (or her) stump speech depending on what city (or state) they are in. Pardon me if thinking this is all part of thhe hysterical media campaign against Gov. Palin.

@McCain/Palin….yes yes sweetie, and George W Bush is the best President we have ever had, and America is stronger than ever, and little unicorns fly across the bridge to no where dropping lollipops and rainbows lead us to pots of gold…

I surprises me that no one can see the truth concerning how the international community feel about us. I travel alot, and they don't really have a problem with our power. they would like to see America lead and not dictate at the conservatives are trying to do. I talke to a friend in London and he really opened my eyes to how they feel. He said the American people don't understand that they would lay their lives on the line to defend our constitution. they think it is the most important document in history, even more so than the Magna Carta. And to see the way it is trampled on during the current administration is what angers them the most.

Why can't she say the same thing at all her campaign stop?My guess is because they are false claims that people in those localities won't fall for.

American its time to call McCain and Palin for what they really are :That is for more years of the same old politics of untruths that has gotten the economy into the present shape it is in now.
The truth is they have no clue about what is going on and they have no solutions to fix it in the future.

Vote Democrats for a change that would work for you and your families.

That's what you do in a script. Not all people agree, some want to hear a different side of things. You can't please "all of the People," "all of the time."

Dear Republican Sirs,

I am a female with a hunting license that knows how to lie and flip flop. Also my vision is bad. I have no doubt that I am qualitfied to be Vice-President of the USA. Please forward me an application for said position at your earliest convenience.

I love reading all of these posts……but people…could you please verify your spelling, etc. I have never seen so many run-on sentences in my life. Do people not know where to put a comma or a period? I get a headache trying to read some of these. No wonder Americans will put McCain in the White House….some don't seem too intelligent….

good for her. She's adaptable and makes sure she speaks to the people's concerns of that are.

Something tells me with her aproval rating of 80 percent that folks in Alaska already KNOW that she rejected the Bridge to NoWhere.

Where do I begin oh yea lets see where did Obama get his start in politices in Chicago a city that is very corupated. He is with the Dailys who he is friends with that is the kind of guy I want in the office. He tells you he is not going to raise taxes but he will. I live in Illinois and we have one of the highest taxes there is because Illinois is a dem state. Then there is the guy Resko that is in prison Obama has got ties to but to all you who support him that is ok. Not for me. Every politician says things different depending on what state your in and everyone knows that. I really think that the dems are getting a little scared so they want all the dirt on Palin out there thinking that will change everyones mind. Fair game. Then the rep should get all the dirt on Obama if that is the way you guys want to play. I guess it was ok when Obama CHANGED his mind on Irag when he seen the surge was working but that is different right. All of you who think they want to vote for Obama better get in touch with real people who live in Illinois cause he has not done anything in this state unless you live in Chicago which I do not I am 6 hours from there and we did not get anything from him except lies and more lies. McCain/Palin 08

Tim – "She's a great role model for America". Seriously?? She's been on the scene for two weeks and has been caught in numerous lies already. What do you want to teach your children – That's is OK to lie to win??.

When I watch Sarah Palin, I am torn between laughing and crying. . .laughing because her candidacy is so silly. . .and crying because so many people seem infatuated with her.

C'mon guys. You know you can't get enough of Sarah Palin. You're locking the door to the computer room so your wife can't see you Googling for pictures of her. She's smart, she's hot, she's tough and you love her. Admit it.

Sarah Palin 12 & 16′

OH NO!! she isn't always giving the exact same speech?

Is this news?

Does any politician give the same speech to different audiences?

Listen…go cover Texas. Stop making up political news.

She had a great teacher. She learned it from Obama. Obama who when campaigning in the wealthier states patronizes all those jobless people for clinging to their guns and religion, but when in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Michigan he turns around and claims to be their champion…

"Why didn't McCain pick Ann Coulter"

Are you insane? That could be worst idea I have ever heard….

you know what happens when you tell lie after lie, you forget which one you said when and so they quickly catch up with you! I can't believe how Mcshame/Palin tell so many lies with straight faces and think that people are stupid and dont know that what they are saying is dirty lies!

"We tend to prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco." said Sarah Palin in reference to Obama.

Well, we tend to prefer candidates who don't spin us one in Lee's Summitt and another in Carson City.

To Theresa W.

I have voiced the same opinion to my husband. I believe McCain will substitute Palin with someone he originally wanted, but knew the america people would not support him and vote him into office. Palin will return to Alaska and resume her responsibilities as governor with a huge payoff from the McCain camp (funds from McCain supporters and taxes from the america people).

They're LYING! Sarah's LYING, McCain is LYING!

They are LIARS — and they're just hoping that if their lies are repeated frequently enough the American people will believe them!

My eyes are OPEN – and I'm just praying that the rest of the country is paying attention to what they (McCain/Palin) are trying to do in this election!

Folks, we complain about nations that vote in extremists like Hamas – but voting for folks because they convince you that they are more like you (they hunt, have pregnant teens, or 'put their country first') is the exact SAME thing! We're supposed to be smarter than this…

Wake up America!!! Vote SMART! Vote Obama/Biden!

From an outsider (European) it is a very scary thought to have a religious extremist as a VP.

I simply cannot understand that a nation of intelligent people can even think about voting for McCain with her as a VP.

Religion (at least extreme religion) has time and tim again shown it is the root to all evil. Does not matter if it is Muslims or Christians or wahtever. She is an extremist and she is just as dangerous as other religious fundamentalists.

McCain is the least bad Republican as far as I am concerned but with her on his side and with his age, it gives me the shiver…..

For the sake of the world and the reputation of US, I sincerely hope it will be Obama/Biden.

Your country is going down the toilet very fast. Polls show that at least 50% of Americans support McCain/Palin. The whole world is laughing at this circus you call a Presidential Race. America is sinking lower and lower than ever before. Other countries do not respect you any longer. As for being the powerhouse of the world, not any more. As racist as your country is, you would think Americans were smarter than what we see now.Go ahead and vote for these people. Watch your country sink deeper and deeper into the toilet never to come out of it again

Sara Palin's comments "NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE" or JUST DOWRIGHT LIES!!! It's either one or the other

The truth is, the media seem to have been paid to focus the campaign on Palin in order to attract Hillary's undecided women voters. If they take the focus off Palin and put it on McCain whom the people are not in love with, McCain is more likely to lose. The women are more excited about the possibility of a McCain's death which will then fufill their dream of having a woman president although it will be to the detriment of the country. McCain is not interested in Palin or women nationwide as much as the women are not in McCain , he is only using them for his own interest. And it will take 18 millions geniuses to enlighten the women about it. He married a woman, cheated on her, got engaged to another woman while he was still married and lived with the first one, and finally abandoned her. This is how much respect he's got for women. He abused them, and now he still want to use them for his glory. Well, women out there, if you vote for this guy, you don't have any woman dignity. "The pain of one woman is the pain of all women" so they say.

CNN your pro Obama bias is visible in almost every article. McCain has an amazing month fundraising, but you emphasize Obama, McCain keeps moving up in the Polls, but you emphasize Obama's best numbers. You tell us Palin changes her speech, but omit that Obama regularly changes his speech according to his audience – remember clinging to their guns and religion could be the best examble. Every "positive" story about McCain or Palin you always stick in a few negative lines at the end of the article but you NEVER do that with Obama or Biden.

we do not need a woman to make CHOICES FOR US!!!! this woman is a menace to this country, if she gets in were are all doomed!!!! NEXT SHE WILL TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHT TO VOTE!!!!! same old, same old!!!!!!!!

gov. palin is completely culeless on the issues, thats why she has to say these prepared stump speeches. dont worry america, if we all get out and vote for a real candiate for change barack obama, mcbush and clueless palin will not enter the white house

Again… here we are with at 90% of the people supporting obama…

where are you polling numbers coming from???

Thanks, but no thanks to McCain/Palin!!

Btw, as a democrat I never hated mccain until he sold out with sarah palin

Tweaks her generic speech…. and it's working. People are lapping it up.

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Is it any wonder the rest of the world view Americans as incredibly gullible, racist, and stupid?

Palin scares the bloody hell out of me. I'm not a feminist or a staunch liberal for that matter. But, I would be horrified at the possibility that she could become president. There is no indication that she can exercise restraint or good judgment. Her record is full of questionable uses of her authority–multiple firings, inquiries about banning books, use of private e-mails for official business to avoid transparency.

Please, think before voting for a ticket just because she's the media's shiny new toy.

Why didn't McCain pick Ann Coulter, Monica Crowley, or Laura Ingraham a his VP Canidate…….they're even more qualified as Sarah Palin……

Tweak it, Sarah, tweak it. You go girl – all the way to Washington, D.C. and open those doors that Obama slammed in our faces.

She switches lies in and out depending on how smart her audience is.

This woman is bad news. She is a liar of the first magnitude. Lets see how troopergate plays out. I think there is more to come.

It's speaks in volume to see that McCain has to keep a short leash on Palin by having joint town hall visits. Can we just have her handle the affairs on her own she will be in a position to run this country God forbid something happens to McCain. This move truly shows her incompetence to handle the American people and give us a true look over of Gov. Palin unscripted or guided. Obama doesn't have to have Biden by his side in every photo opt possible in order to save his message of "Change" or is that McCain's campaign message now over "Leadership and Experience"? I think McCain owes Hillary a check for basically picking up her campaign tactics and now using them for himself. Hillary sure as heck does not need to be joint in any campaign stops!!!!!!!! I know of Hillary and Palin sure can't come close. Isn't she a country away from the U.S. heck they don't even show Alaska weather on the news in mainland America!!!!!!!!!!

Why is the media afraid to call the McCain Camp on their lies ?? The View is the only time I have heard anyone actually hold McCain accountable to answer a question. Wolf Blitzer this a.m. interviewed Tim Pawlenty & let him get by with anything he wanted to say, he did not answer any direct questions. I am just sick of most of the news programs, & I agree with Chanel. The press (i thought) is suppose to get at the truth, that is their job, it is almost as if they do not care about the truth, it does not matter, lies or truth the same thing. Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow are the only ones I have heard actually ask & expect answers.

Sarah Palin has a hair spring trigger. God forbid her becoming President. If any of the countrys who dislike our way of life and says anything she dislikes we may have another war. She has no tact and I think she will react before she thinks. Running a state with less than a million inhabitants is not running the whole country. She will have 535 people to convince she is right. God Bless us all if her and McCain get elected. At age 83 I have seen the good the bad and the ugly. This pair takes the cake

Finally her pregnancy was just lie, who is too stupid to believe it. She was pregnat for 8 months and nobody see it… the stewart on the plane when she return home for 'delivery ' never realize that woman was 8 months pregnant…. wow, Who will trust her, this is all bs…she is a liar thats it…

I think that if you looked at her back you would see a string.
Pure eyewash and 1 inch deep.

Again

Imagine in 6 months…….If a President McCain is replaced by Palin

What kind of policies will change?

(The absolute danger here is apparent for most Americans (except Evangelical extremists)) especially independents)

I can see that all correspondence here feel the same about one particular person Sarah pack your load and go you are a blunt liar and u have no truth within you you even lie to your own child , your force your son to go to war just because you want to make history shame on you do what is right .and step down….

McCain+Paline=WAR WITH RUSSIA

Obama has never run a state, has never run a city, has never run a business, has never run a town, heck he has never even run a small rural town. Do you really want us to believe that he is qualified to run this country? Oh yeah he has authored best selling books though he has never authored a significant piece of legislation. Oh yeah he is a great speaker. Oh yeah he gave a speech in Europe. But really now, do those things qualify him to be president?

Palin thinks she's the second coming of Christ – geez she can walk on water don't you know! She's already blinded millions to her lies and deceit by making them think she's their savior speaking goodness, mercy and vote for me "I'm gonna save all you sinners" – thank goodness I'm not one of her blinded fools. She's more like the AntiChrist. She's pitiful and so is McCan't.

putting lipstick on a lie still makes it a lie….

And the many GOP's running for office this year continue to lie for her. We're watching!

Thats what we call PANDERING!

" I's dont feel no ways tired" – Hillary Clinton

Even Karl Rove thinks McCain's ads have gone to far and said it on FOX news. If that doesn't attest to the lying, gutter politics of this campaign, I don't know what does!!!

If McCain wants to run on his military record, he needs to release ALL of his records. To date he has only released 60 pages of a 600 page file.

I can't quite understand how people haven't seen through her yet, this woman has NOTHING to qualify her to be in the White House

The real problem seems to be the politics of this nation have been hijacked by the corporate media elite and , we are all to blame to some degree for allowing the democratic process to be corrupted by personal political ambitions, unresovled grievanceses and a culture of violence that, rewards wining at all cost. We are All going to Win or, We are All going Lose in this Election?

Sarah Palin will revise her lies?

Lets here drill baby drill now, with oil rigs floating in the gulf.
If we were depending on more offshore oil rigs (off of Florida) we would be really screwed right now.
Why isn,t the Libarian being Questioned in Trooper Gate?
To be fired then reinstated the next day sounds more disgusting then Troopergate, plus it sounds like a pattern of criminal actions.
Also were are the TAX RETURNS hiding wont work forever.

That's Because she has nothing else to say, except thanks nut no thanks to that bridge to nowhere and Pitbulls and hockey moms.
Please.

Obama/Biden 08′ For real change.

Uh, all candidates re-use their stump speeches, adapting them somewhat to their audience. There's only so many ways to express an idea. Why pick on Palin? Because she's a woman?

She appointed close friends to very high positions in Alaska without them having real knowledge of the position. Sounds like someone in office right now.

Drill, Drill Drill did they say? MCain and Palin? Did they also say you can drill today BUT there won't be any new oil from that drilling, for 5 to 10 years. So park you cars, buy a bicycle because you are on your own, the McCain/Palin families are taking an extended vacation at the end of this term, paid for courtesy of BP oil and other major oil corporations.

Lies, lies and more lies!!! That isn't change, that is a repeat of Bush/Cheney–get it!

Many Americans are asking the question:

Does Barack Obama have the qualifications to be vice-president?

Sexism rages strong in America. First it showed its ugly face against Hillary Clinton and know against Sara Palin. Politicians try and appeal to the largest number of voters — Obama is no different. His stand on positions has changed as well as his words. Early on in the campaign when he was speaking to primarily African American audiences in South Carolina his tone and his topics was different than what he said in Iowa. People need to pay attention to what is being said first-hand for themselves, rather than rant about what they hear from someone else. Think and then vote.

P.S. There are good earmarks and bad earmarks . . .they just specify either in law or report language (not law) where federal funds are to be spent.

People we need to really consider what is going on here These people will say and do anything it takes to get into that White House. And if they get in for another 4 years heaven help us! It's time to put away all our prejudices and seriously think about what another Republican president will mean for this country. John McCain has one agenda….WAR! If you don't believe it just stop listening with your prejudices and start really listening to everything he is saying. This man could not care less about sending your sons and daughters into a senseless war to risk their lives. His only concern is victory. And don't you think for one minute that he would hesitate to reinstate the draft. He and all his cronies are running a wickedly evil campaign to try and make you afraid to vote for anyone but them. Don't fall for this garbage. Consider what you are doing before you cast your vote in November. We can't afford another four years of the same.

CAST YOUR VOTE WITH WISDOM…..NOT FEAR.

I just found out that Palin lied about going to Iraq. Well SURPRISE!!!!!SURPRISE!!!!Another lie from the McCain/Palin campaign.

So McJealous just wanted a bit of the limelight all this while, and he thinks he has found a way of getting it with his pitbull cheney in a skirt!

palin is a joke
she needs to go home and take her smiling dude with her. they are pathedic
we love our country to love these liars. we are in bad enough econey we don't need worse. vote obama/boden/hillary/bill

So I wonder how much money the Obama campaign pays this dozen or so people who make up names and post comments against McCain on these blogs? I find it incredibly deceitful but I am not the least bit surprised as the Democrats have a history of sleaze….and then they blame the Republicans.

Americans aren't so stupid. They know this is going on.

Altering speeches is standard operating procedure. Just like during the republican nomination campaign McCain toned down his drilling stance in California. Dont say things that the crowd might not be so thrilled about. Not saying it doesnt mean that the crowd doesnt know any better. It's all image of course.

So let me understand this ….when Hillary mentioned about the Bosnia trip specifics the media jumped on it…(showed the video, interviewed bunch of folks who went with her etc etc) and now we just sit and watch when these lies are being said for the 9th or 10 time

Oh well…the same old media ….

She is going to keep lying unless we put the facts out there. We know that the MSM is not going to do it. A good journalist give both sides a chance to respond and then come in with the truth. Which one have you seem to do this any of the stations (NONE). Campbell Brown did it one time so they could fool us in believing that they were not biais. Please do not fall for it. Go around and tell all your friends and relatives yourself.

We can't let the country we all love so much be lost.

VOTE EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you know that for "Christians" the devil is the ultimate DECEIVER? I wonder if these "Christians" remember that Satan is the "FATHER OF ALL LIES?"

Obama/Biden 08

The republicans strategies of killing the truth, fabricating lies,and dodging issues will one day lead to the extinction of their party. Voters are now getting wiser young and they are fed up and disgusted with the republicans ways which destroy their ambition to become politicians. They would love that ,as politicians , they remain honest, truthful, transparent, and just. This is why the majority of young people feel inspired by the political ideology of Obama. Through Obama they sense that politicians don't have to be dishonest, liars, fabricators, procrastinators, and deceivers in order to succeed. With this motivation, when more young people grow up to become politicians, chances are that all of them endorse the democrat's ways of doing things, and a republican party, if it still exists, will be a subcategory of the democrat's just a label for campaign purpose.

It's obvious that most of us that have posted here are pro Obama. Republicans only see what they want and stick their head in the sand when they don't want to hear the truth. My question is, what are we doing to get the word out to the voters about these lies? How do we make people care?

It's interesting that a majority of people concerned about electing Sarah Palin in a VP position are the same people who elected Clinton in as PRESIDENT the MOST powerful position and his experience was being the Governor of Arkansas…come on people! If you are going to argue…argue apples to apples…President to President…VP to VP… Experience goes to McCain! I'm non-partisan; I think people are reaching hard to find a scuff on Sarah's record. It's getting pathetic, give her props for what she has done, where she is at, and focus on the issues. I'm glad to see we have diversity on both tickets. The most exciting thing about this election is that people are tuning in, and if it took Sarah and Obama, to get people interested in showing up at the poles…well alleluia! I'll be turning off the speculators on all the new channels, and waiting for the debates to make my final decision. I encourage everyone to go into the debates with an open mind and open ears.

Jody says:"Palin is a fabulous leader, I hope she is president one day. But not today."
Hardly an endorsement I'd say when she could be "one heart-beat away"!

The sad thing is that Americans wil buy into the lies, and call the truth when it comes out as a lie.
Can we really afford another 4 years of the same bush policies and lies?
Are you really better off then you were 8 years ago?

Banks failing, unemployment on the rise, gas prices up, food cost up, pays the same.
Think hard and on the facts and issues.

Let's just quit beating around the bush and call her & McCain what they are: LIARS.

I'm tired of being lied to – aren't you?

Why no coverage of the anto Palin rally in Alaska.?

Surely voters need to hear what her constituents have to say about their Governor.

Palin did not ONLY fly 8 hours just to have her baby born in Alaska–she did not go to the nearest hospital in Alaska she flew onto Wasilla.

She risk the life of her baby and herself, which means she did not put the best interest of her other children first. I'm sure her job would afford her a few days to stay with her newborn baby. I'm sure she could work from home, after all she charges the people of Alaska for the time she spends at home. But apparently her baby was not her number one concern at all!!

Lord this woman makes me want to vomit.

whats a earmark

What is WRONG with so many people that they can't see through this woman? If the McCain/Palin ticket wins, she will be one heartbeat away from the most important job in the world…and that really scares me. America, if we allow this to happen, then hang on to your children…or better yet, hide them! I am 60-year-old white female and have never had these feelings about any candidate before. Hats off to Barbara Walters and "The View" for telling it like it is!

By this time two weeks from now the McPalin ticket will have tweaked itself into a state of "is this for real?!"

Sometimes what seems like the worst thing ends up the best thing, and for the Obama campaign, Palin will prove that "what started out as McCain's secret weapon to win the WH is just what Obama needed to do the same."

The PalinHigh is crashing faster and faster and there's nothing to replace it with. Maybe if McCain had stayed on the Straight Talk Express and not resorted to half truths and out right lies, he wouldn't be looking forward to a tarnished legacy that unfortunately will trump in interest where his POW once did.

Maybe if he had bucked the conservative right system and not caved to what Rove and the rest wanted he could have lived up to the maverick persona he's allowed himself to be identified. He could have picked who he wanted instead of who was told what "they" needed. Maybe if he had listened to his own soul this would be a race he could have been proud of whether he won it or not. As it is now, when the smoke clears, I have a feeling John McCain's self respect is going to be a hard thing for him to locate again. I see a bitter, regretful man who didn't have to be no matter where he hangs his hat come Nov.

Lies
Lies
Lies

Does America care?? I've lost ALL respect for John McCain.

Well said Sandee.
I need to add one more comment. Has anyone seen the latest Republican campaign posters? Palin is out front of the poster with a smaller McCain behind her. I've never seen anything like this in a campaign. Who is running for president?

She believes in less government unless it has to do with your rights that she disagrees with.

"But in Carson City, where the Yucca issue hits closer to home, that remark about expanding nuclear energy disappeared."

Just continuing the Republican tradition of deception. It's how Bush deceived so many people into supporting his war for oil and vengeance. Yes, they all target their speeches to address their audience but Obama changes his to address the issues that are most important to that audience, not to avoid them.

Don't you think nuclear power / WASTE would be an issue that would interest Nevadans? Isn't that an issue you would include, not exclude?

The B2N is complicated, transitional issue with a budget that tripled while it was being proposed. Good idea, too costly. Voters don't understand complicated, so Obama can use it as a simplified contradiction. Palin will appear strained for answers as she tries to explain it.

Yes Sarah! We wouldn't want to tell the same lies to different audiences now would we?

Pathetic that such a blunder can happen here in the USA ! We should have a media that protects us from flat out lies !

Tweak, yes. But change your whole stance–no….one state where nuclear power is a big bad boil to the citizen's–no mention how the McCain administration will pursue nuclear power harder. In Alaska she does not mention that she said "Thanks but no thanks" to the bridge because there she said yes yes yes to win the vote.

That is not tweaking–that is deception.

She is not a good role model–no way no how no McCain no Palin!!

why has CNN not addressed the evidence that the McCain campaign is inflating the number of people at McCain/Palin events?

Palin is a fabulous leader, I hope she is president one day. But not today.

Yes, every political candidate tweeks their speeches for the audience they are addressing. However, there is a difference between tweeking and telling a lie and the McCain campaign is based on lies, lies, lies. Lest everone forget, Palin is not running for President. The focus should be on McCain and Obama and the difference stances they have on issues.
It's proven that people don't vote using their brains (God help us!), but vote emotionally. It's too bad that so many people in our country are uneducated and not intelligent but it is those people that will be using their emotions to vote. Those people won't vote for McCain because of his age, won't vote for Palin because she's a woman, won't vote for Obama because he's part black and won't vote for Biden because he's also too old. So it's going to take the intelligent people to decide this race. Go out and get people registered to vote! Maybe that will make a difference if we can get enough intelligent people registered.

So many rants, so little time. After the election, CNN should put out a book of these posts and supply them free in public washrooms for toilet paper as that's all most of them are good for.

She doesn't talk one way in San Francisco and another way in Scranton, Pa? She is such a liar and a hypocrite and the Republicans seem to like liars and hypocrites. She talks out of one side of her mouth in Alaska and out the other side in Yucca, Montana. She hopes the people of Yucca Mountain don't have internet and television and see her saying she and Mccain will bring more nuclear waste to their state. I noticed she didn't mention in Alaska that she "put it on e-bay" when referring to the jet to nowhere. They knew it was a mis-representation She lies every time she opens her mouth. I'd bet a dollar to a donut that she lied to the investigators in Alaska. In most states it is a crime to lie to an investigator whether under oath or not. There must be some kind of a pardon deal in the works. Mcsame = Bush. Lies, war, corruption, deficit-spending, divisiveness, hate, and venom. All the republican commentators say that Charles Gibson was trying for a gotcha moment but they neglect to see that palin has been doing that for two weeks in her stump speech without any body questioning her one-liner lies.

McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose an election!!!

The hypocrisy is that John voted against equal pay for equal work for woman. So tell me about Sarah Failin again? What good is she?

just what is the matter with someone changing their mind on a controversial topics. have not any of you ever been in a situation were your have to think about it first and then do it and then find out that it should have been done differently.

you reporters and mediators are way out in left field……. just sit back and watch how you distort the truth…. play back your programs and watch the shouting matches that go on about the candidates during your interviews with the elite groups that you have on your shows…

it makes for one enjoying fight after another, you mediators can't even run your shows respectably

Karl Rove on McCains campaign lies:

"McCain has gone in his ads one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100-percent-truth test,"

She is like a broken record….Can we hear something different?

Palin is not competent like McSame both are the same. The first one show a lack of responsability, hide, her past , take 6 years in 6 different colleges for 'JOURNALISM' she is not trustable…no way no how no McCain, no Palin…

I spoke to my 61 yr old mother the other day and asked her if she was considering Obama. She said she thinks she is just going to sit this one out. She is a staunch Hillary supporter so I mentioned McCain has picked a female running mate to which she replied, "He must think we're stupid! That is such silly pandering, I think I would make a better VP!" I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair. I think she's coming around to the understanding that it doesn't really matter if the next pres is a woman or a black guy as long as it isn't Mcsame!

Doesn’t the truth count for anything anymore? John McCain’s campaign ads are filled with falsehoods which, even when challenged by reporters and factcheck.org, continue to be repeated. Is this the way McCain will act as President? Isn’t this what got us into the Iraq War – falsehoods and exaggerations repeated endlessly as fact? I am disappointed in John McCain. He has not put “Country First.” He’ll do and say anything to get elected.

This chick scares the hell out of me. Just saw the recent NY Times article where they interviewed Democrats, Republicans, and friends/colleagues.

Cronyism, secrecy, surrounding herself with only people that agree with her, tending to her evangelical base, calling anyone against her as "Anti-Alaska"….

Sound familiar? Yep, she's Bush III in the making

Too scary. People, please think very, very carefully before you vote for this ticket

bottom line: Palin is a lying PIG with or without the lipstick!

My, my, isn't she a talented speaker?! I guess her republican handlers are starting to give her a little more flexibility now.

McCain = Bush + bad temper
Palin = Bush + even more extremism

Obama/Biden 2008

Can you imagine if Dems win this election and it was determines that it was the Repub campain lies and misrepresentations that were the primary reason they lost? This would be a big boost for the media to continue to vet the campain content (better than in the past) and would give pause to the next candidate that considers doing it again. This may be the best thing to happen for the future.

I am shocked at what this woman has to say in her speeches. She'll travel one place and give one opinion and then the next place she goes she changes her opinion. If you really listen and read about what she has to say it's crazy.
She is an insult to the women of America
I honestly believe that the rest of America will wake up and "smell the coffee" very soon and realize that this woman is not qualified to be vice-president.
Why can't John Mccain do most of his own speeches himself. Why can't they deal with the serious isuues in our country and get to the point instead of a bunch of double-talk?
That's because they are not capable. When you
listen to Sen. Obama he gets right to the point.
Susan from CT for OBAMA 08

Go MccCain/Palin – the only candidates with true experience and change.

As a foreigner, I see that Sarah Palin is getting free ride because she is white and pretty.

At the mention of Joe Biden, one can appropriately say "Joe Who?" It's more than amazing how that poor talking head has been relegated to the basement while everyone is talking non-stop about Sarah Palin. Lucky for her ticket — it's all quite good. I know Ed Koch says Palin scares him — but what the heck — he scares me too!

The world is watching. If John McCain and Sarah Palin steel this election away from Barack Obama and Joe Biden because of personablities and gender and the misleading and outright lies in their ads.

THEN WE DESERVE WHAT WE WILL GET.

WE WILL BE ALIENATED FROM THE WORLD.

WE WILL END UP IN MORE WARS WITHOUT ANY ALLIES TO HELP US.

WE WILL END UP A BANKRUPT NATION

WE WILL END UP WITH THE RETURN OF THE DRAFT.

THIS IS REAL LIFE PEOPLE. NOT SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

THE WORLD WANTS AND EXPECTS BARACK OBAMA TO BE OUR PRESIDENT. IF WE DISAPPOINT THEM THEN WE WILL BE DIGGING OUR OWN GRAVE.

What a fraud!!!

Lose your house, lose your vote: Republicans are challenging the right to vote of foreclosed property owners in Michigan, Ohio, and other contested states because the person is not a true resident of the city or township once a house is foreclosed. The GOP is planning to use a list of foreclosed homes to block people from voting in the upcoming election as part of the GOP’s effort to challenge some voters on Election Day. It's mean spirited, but it is happening. Pathetic. Spread the word.

We're American voters. We'll digest whatever you feed us.

George Bush and Karl Rove proved you can just keep on fooling us!

Democracy at work!

I am surprised Sarah's nose isn't as long as the "Alaskan Bridge" to nowhere supposed to have been.She lies about almost everything. Since she is so "Pro-Life". What is here stand on the "Death Penalty". That is a life also. Please someone ASK HER.I can't believe some people are believing her.We have to think about our future.This woman may have American Lives in her hand.If you don't care about yourself at least care about your children and the future generation. This is serious.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE NOR A GAME.I am a 47 year old woman and i will be voting for Obama & Biden.

thanks, but no thanks, Ms. "padded resume" .
you got your 15 minutes of fame.
now hurry up and study hard, just in case you end up with more responsibilities than giving canned speeches, canned answers, and generallly giving that coward McCain a skirt to hide behind.

enough!

just to bad the media is scared of the mcbush goons. palin really needs to answer alot of questions. instead of hiding.this is really getting scary. duck questions no vote , duck questions no vote

She is the WORST thing that could happen to this country. It gives me nightmares and the desire to leave this country !

As an outsider observer (from Canada), I watched Palin's interview with Gibson.
My opinion: Americans, really think before you vote.
McCain has completely reversed everything he stood for 8 years ago.And to say "country first" is hilarious considering he has a VP running mate who he chose soley to get votes so he could win this election.
This woman doesn't even agree with most of what McCain himself does. And whatever she does believe, its hard to tell because evidence continues to trickle out that many things that have been touted in her favour, are LIES!

One more important thing to consider, when has any public servant, a nurse, teacher, firefighter, police officer etc. ever been offered the 2nd highest position in their job, while being under investigation? No matter what the outcome is, if under investigation you don't get promoted up.
So how and why would McCain offer her the VP spot, knowing she is under investigation?
Does he know something we don't? Like she'll be cleared without really being investigated?
That seems like the only reason that McCain would tke that sort of chance.
Again, people, do your research, and think before you just vote for a pretty face. Look for what both campaigns really stand for and the issues their discussing, and how they're conducting themselves.
Look at who's lying, and who's fighting back on issues.

Palin is a liar, a crook, a thief and will finish destroying this country if elected. Palin doesn't believe in evolution because she hasn't evolved. Women who are thinking of voting for the GOP ticket need to wake up. Palin is dangerous to your health, your well-being and threatens your constitutional rights. A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote to kill this country and to dissolve the rights of the women in it. Palin, as mayor of Wasilla, charged women who had been raped for the very rape kits that were used to gather evidence. What does that say about her character, not to mention her conscience? She is not a feminist. Do not be fooled.

Why do you bloggers not pair Palin with the right candidate? Why are you pairing her with Obama? Are you youngsters aware that not only old people die? Biden is also a "heartbeat away from the presidency".

Lie Lie and more Lie – what else is expected from the McCain camp!

If I was responsible for the last 8 years like the Repubs, I'd have to lie and distract the votes to cover it up!!!!

AMERICANS WAKE UP!!!

palin,

you paraded your body in bikini and stiletto for "scholoarship."

what stops you from dropping your bikini for the "country"?

i dare you!

Palin, go home and play with your children instead of playing politics. You are a disgrace to leave your 5 children behind who need you very much!

You are setting a BAD example for parents all over this country. How do you intend to look after your kids and spend time with them IF you become VP? There will be times that you are gone for weeks, months at a time. Get real, lady!

People, wake up! Anyone who has raised kids knows that both parents must raise them.

This is conservativism. This is a prime example of how SELFISH this lady is.

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN, NO PALIN. NEVER!

Keep your eyes on the prize, Obama/Biden, more than ever. We can not allow the Republican party ticket to hold the most powerful office in the world. I can't imagine anything more scary.

Working mothers for Obama/Biden!!! Shame on you, John McCain, for treating us as though we are ignorant.

When McCain/ Palin win in November (not if), I'm sure Cheney and Rove will be probably be given high places in McCain's cabinet. When McCain dies or has to leave office (not if), they'll be controlling the country through Palin.

These LIARS bring shame on the name of Christ. Evangelicals seem to be in a trance..most of the Christian population seem to be unaware that they voted on the wrong issues & elected Bush/Cheney thinking they had installed men with morals. The only person in that administration who had any integrity resigned after the first term and that was POWELL. Now we're about to repeat the mistake by falling for the LIES of this serpent from Alaska.
They have no issues to debate and no truths to speak on..every Ad contains lies..every one so far what does this say about them

Palin is Governor nucular like Bush. Watching her interview with Charlie Gibson, she pronounced the word nuclear, nucular twice. She is a script reader and reminds me of Bush. Is this the best the GOP has as a V.P. nominee after George Bush 28% approval rating?

News please. Leave the analysis to the people. I'm tired of getting "spoon fed" what Gov. Palin is or isn't doing — how she is or isn't lying about this or that. Why not just come right out and say, "I don't like this candadate? That would at least be less manipulative and more honest.

This coverage is that obvious.

Wow- you leftists either have very short memories or your hatred for all things non-liberal compells you to lie.

I'd love to see you hold your own messiah to the same standards that you hold McCain/Palin to.

Why is its you never mention the folksy accent that Obama takes on when on the stump in rural America? Not only does his message change from San Francisco to the heartlands but his accent does also.

It's interesting to see that the 'recent polls' suggest McCain has a lead, but whenever I look at comments on storied for either side, they are overwhelmingly in support of Obama, and fearful and angry with the Republicans.

why is the media allowing this pathetic liers get away like that?
Don't vote for this disgrace couple.
Phony Palin can easily kill mcIdiot. he is so taken by her, she might throw him overborad.
POW & Gender W. We had it with this mud slingers.
you cannot pay the war hero card. that was 40 years ago.so many heor devoted their life. you are notthe only one.
since the war, what have you done?
obama is a good man, so he gives you respect. If any other candidate, they won't even look at you.
The whole world now know that both of you are lier, md
Any one attends their meetions got to be the lowest IQ people or racist groups.
I repeat no intelligent people will listen to these lies.
We see your faces on the TV-clapping and listening to their lies. Dummies.

Laura, you are 100% correct. however when you do more one on one interviews, the truth will come out for all to see. I think it is a severe discredit to woman everywhere that the Republicans keep her under wraps. This seems to be the style of most conservative men. The women are to speak only when asked to. They don't believe women have the strength to stand on their own two feet.

Palin's same speech is "tweeked" because her handlers are afraid to give her any new material right now because obviously she is not a quick study . That was demonstrated during her interview with Gibson. They worked with her day and night for a couple of days but when she couldn't use buzz words and phrases and she actually had to give an answer based on inner knowledge and not surface fluff……. her goose was cooked or maybe I should say her moose was cooked!

Palin has a long way to go and she is not ready to be Vice President. Its too much that she doesn't know and the White House is not for on the job training. This time is too serious and we atleast need a VP and president who atleast know what the issues are, instead of being told what the issues are. Palin will be a disaster, she needs allot of help and her interview with Charlie Gibson revealed that. She is not in the mainstream of Americans and she's not qualified to be VP. Theres allot Palin has to learn and understand before she is VP and especially a possible President. Any body who thinks Palin could be president is lying. Palin is just not ready to lead this country.

Beside telling lies, she's big on nepotism. How can you hire an unqualified freind for a $92,000 job, the qualification of her idiot friend was " I love cow", how stupid is that…..If you think 8 years of Bush/Chenney was bad, stay tuned if the old man and wacko girl gets elected. ….can't wait to see wacko girl on the View or the Oberman show.

The "tweak" for the Nevada speech is better known as a "lie of omission" with an emphasis on the word LIE.

Congressional opposition happened when current events of the time warranted reconsideration of the use of the funds for other purposes.

Like Hurricanes….

but no one is bringing this up.

There is nothing wrong with changing your mind for the right reason.

Obama repeats his rhetoric. Come on, Obama, when are you going to accept a town hall meeting forum with McCain? Obama needs his scripted speeches; otherwise, he stumbles terribly.

And she wants to go to war with a nuclear super-power. I saw the TV mini-series. It was titled "World War III"

I suggest that the United States can no longer afford both miliary conflicts abroad, and social security payments at home. Senior citizens should consider which of those options they prefer to have their grandchildren pay for.

New bumper sticker:

"You can't spell Palin with P-A-I-N"

Teresa I totally agree with your opinion. I, too, believe that Palin is going to find an excuse to leave office so that McCain can pick another more suitable running mate. He obviously picked this VP. He is not stupid. But, he seems to think most Americans are stupid. There is no way that he is going to continue to share the lime light with Palin. It is quite apparent according to her interviews that she really thinks differently from McCain. He really doesn't know who she is and what she stands for. I don't think McCain can be trusted. He seems to think that he is entitled to become president. Maybe he thinks we owe him for the time he spend as a prisoner of war.

"STRATEGY" and "LIE" are not the same.

Why is this a news?

Go McCain/Palin!

Obama does that also, it is called politics. Why would you say things that don't apply to a certain group of people. Unless, like Obama, you don't know they are listening.

palin,

why don't you try parading in bikini and stilletto?

that's all you got to show,

and it just might work on redneck know-nothing guys!

Palin is so full of herself that it's almost funny. However, the nation has serious issues that are at stake and we need experienced leaders who also have the humility to take a good look at their own behaviors in making important decisions. Palin seems to lack that as evident by her own distortions and embellishments ..This is not what this country needs right now. Our economy is in peril – people losing their jobs – the war is devastating our military and impacting on their families – the list goes on…. Personally, I'm not interested in Maverick behaviors or overstated resumes… We need change and it's not with the Republican leadership. As an independent woman voter, I don't have confidence in the Palin-McCain ticket… Ohhh… I mis-spoke.., it's the McCain and Palin ticket (but you wouldn't know it)… McCain has truly lost his way and his maverick resume is now highlighted with the the big sell out to the right wing "Conservative Base".
Sue (SC)

McCain + Palin= LIARS

It is so upsetting how Palin and McCain lie over and over through this campaign. They lie, then repeat the lie even after it's been debunked. They lie about trivial things that wouldn't have made a difference. They lie to smear Obama, and they lie to show how mavericky they are. And yet I hear people saying that Palin is admirable! I hear people saying that her performance in the Gibson interview was just fine, because they couldn't have done better themselves. Don't we hold someone a heartbeat from the presidency to a higher standard!?!? Shouldn't the comparison be to the other condenders for VP? If her performance was subpar compared to how they would likely do, then what does that tell us about McCain picking her? It tells me that he didn't take that crucial decision seriously and would rather take a risk than treat our nation's future seriously. And their lie-filled campaign talk tells me that they are not carrying out the integrity that they claimed they would have.

HEY MRS. PIT BULL,

WOULD YOU PLEASE GO HOME AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS .

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !

2 MORE MONTHS ! 2 MORE MONTHS ! 2 MORE MONTHS !

NO MORE AWOL BUSH ! NO MORE OLD MACSHAME !

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OBAMA / BIDEN

The religious nuts are out in full force as it was Robson and Perkins who forced McCain to except Sara Palin.

Imagine people leading America who are against sex eductation for children and would rather have them believe babies are delivered by storks and women get pregnant from sitting on a dirty toilet seat.

McCain has stated his goal is to get the whole world to accept religious freedom and Palin claims the Iraq war is a holy war done on behalf of God at God's will.

These two idiots are a real threat to America as the world won't put up with their lunacy. The world is a big place and America is just a small part of it and will never be able to conquer everyone they perceive as an enemy. Diplomacy and tolerance are America's only chance.

So if she is changing up her canned speech, will she be mentioning that she was for the Bridge to Nowhere before it wan't vogue to be in favor it AND she kept the money even though she changed her mind?

Will she be talking about how she never really went to Iraq and only saw its border?

Will she talk about how she thinks it is "God's plan" for us to fighting in Iraq? (Never realized God was an Imperialist. Go figure)

Bored now.

File her under: Fire, Pants On.

Our allies (those few we still have after the Bush regime) must be extremely nervous that "bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran" McCain could soon be the next US president. And quaking in their boots at the thought that Sarah "never blink" Palin would have a 3-to-1 chance of taking over the highest office in this nation. I know I am.

I can honestly see how G.Bush got TWO terms in the white house.
Republicans lie their socks off….and i'm really sorry to say…. their supporters are mainly Brain dead!

Sarah Palin's pregnancy will remain a fake until independent and trustworthy dna tests are performed.
It is becoming crystal clear this woman cannot be trusted.

I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE A TREND IN COMMENTS HERE!
Seems the People are fed up and seeking some fact / issue content in CNN reporting as well as claim to the LIES of the McCain campaign. chanel…nice one! All of you! RHAR! Gives a gal HOPE. Lets a gal think CHANGE can actually happen. YES WE CAN.
and oh,
btw

I'm not an "elitist"!

I am educated!
[Thats ed-U-Kate-ed]

Clearly the people following Obama don't know the difference between the truth and a lie because if they did they wouldn't be following him.

She's an empty suit. Can you imagine the Republican uproar if Obama read the same script, sans a few lines, at every event? They'd be like why can't he come up with something new? It's because she's a puppet, reading what her puppet masters write!

That's right, Obamabots….keep obsessing over Palin……

Change you can what? Fail with?

A liar won't beLIEve anyone else.

Palin would be so bad for this country – more division and bigger goofs that we can't afford after 8 years of Bush. I'm seriously afraid of this country collapsing if McCain and Palin get in there and make things worse. McCain will be asleep at the wheel and Palin will be banning books, preching her religious rediculousness, and using her inexeperience to make bigger mistakes than Bush did. Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID OF MCCAIN-PALIN!

I hear alot of people comment that most people didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was so Ms. Palin should be excused for not knowing it. Well…HELLO…most people are not running for VP of this country. She is a Republican, an elected official, running for the 2nd highest spot in the country. She darned well SHOULD know what it is. And then on top of that, after Charlie Gibson explained what it was, she STILL wouldn't answer the simple question "do you agree with it". No way will McCain get my vote.

All politicians do it and I don't blame her. The problem is not the speeches, IT'S THE POLICIES.

WAKE UP AMERICA.

Tweak it all you want, but

YOU AIN'T HILLARY CLINTON!

McPalin wants to win by any means necessary, like lying or misleading the American people. That may work in Alaska where her supporters are so desperate for "outside" attention, but the rest of Americans aren't stupid. McBush is no longer a maverick. He's completely changed and I lost all my respect for that two-face.

i will be so glad when the novelty of Sarah Palin wears off and we as Americans can get back to the real issues at hand. With all due respect to McCain, I think that someone has recently dropped him on his head. What a rotten pick for VP especially when there were so many qualified Republicans out there to take this position. Perhaps as a governor and a mayor, Palin is fine. But she is not my pick for VP. I would have so much respect for this woman if she would stop lying about her personal life and her numerous accolades about her vast experiences in office. She has accomplished more according to her than any other governor in the world. Other countries must be laughing their butts off about our country. Wars can not be won with hockey sticks and thanks but no thanks slogans. I repeatedly hear women say, "Oh, she's just like me,, she understands what I am a woman endures, she's one of us because her daughter is "supposely pregnant". Well, ladies, speak for yourselves, because I be darned if this lady is anything like me or the women that I know. In addition, the constant comments of her she igniting the Republican party is a sad commentary on Republicans. If McCain is going to be our president shouldn't he be the igniting our party" No, he taking a back seat and a "Driving Ms. Daisy" attitude and allowing our party to be driven by his "chaffeur Palin." So, McCain ,"Thanks, but no thanks to obviously one of many of your lousy choices for this country. Who's going to be your Secretary of State, 'Brittany Spears?'

Sara Palin is amazing. She can read a teleprompter really well. She's intelligent: From her convention speech one can see that she has learned an awful lot about Obama in just a few days(Only what can be twisted, used to mock , deride and belittle).
McCain and Palin are really true agents of Change.They should start with their slogan of "country first ". It is all too evident that their slogan should be changed to "Politics first".

After Palin removes all the lies from her stump speech…she doesn't have much left to talk about now does she. McCain's horrible pick in VP will be exposed. I am all for a woman in the White House but not just anyone woman!!!!!

WAKE UP….and let's get back to the issues of the campaign and proved Rick Davis (McCain's campaign manager) wrong that this campaign is about issues!!!!

CNN, why don't you stop giving this woman a free ride, and demand she answer questions for the American people. She is running for one of the highest offices in the land. We demand she answer questions like most of the candidates. If she is tough enough to dish out lies she should be tough enough to answer question about the lies she is telling.

McCain is not a man of "honor" he approves every negative ad the republicans are putting out including down right disgusting "lies".
We are so tired of these sleezy ads overwhelming TV.

Bring Palin forward and make her answer tough questions, and stop sugar coating your questions and stop babying this woman. We as American deserves answers.

CNN post this and stop being biased.

The Straight Talk Express apparently fell off the end of the Bridge to Nowhere.

One way to characterize Palin's foreign policy view
is to think of her as the female version of :

Dr. Strangelove

(Or how I learned to stop hating and really love the bomb!!)

In other words, if she had been President in 1963,
Cuba would have been toast,
and Moscow, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C.,
Berlin, Vladivostok, ChickenSquich, Georgia, Los Angeles, Leningrad,
Paris, London, Detroit, Wasila, Alaska, Chicago,and North Butte, Montana
would have been obliterated by nuclear holocaust.

Instead of "drill baby drill!" the new chant for the republicans who refuse to truly change or move toward the future will be, "Bring back the typewriter!"

I hope, for the sake of our grandchildren, that Obama wins and brings true change to our country. We need an energy policy that will move us forward, not just drilling deeper and wider!

Every political candidate "tweeks" their speeches for the audence they're addressing. Obama, McCain, Biden, they all do it. It's called strategy.

This election is not about Sarah Palin, this election is about John McCain. You can try to change the perception of the republican ticket with Sarah Palin, but it does not change the fact that John McCain is John McCain.

Obama-Biden 08

I'm not sure wh this is newsworthy -
all politicians use their same basic stump speech, barack obama and joe biden included

Ron, it's called . . . .America the beautiful!

Palin may regret joining the ticket. Her lack of integrity and vindictive nature may undermine her political career.

More interviews and investigation, please. Fewer scripted talking points and standard campaign answers.

McCain/Palin – get real. Obama doesn't have to call her or mccain out on their lies, the public who is sick of the lies is doing it for him and thank God. It would be an endless task to point out all their lies mcain and palin had said. I feel sorry for people like you who don't have the capacity to think for themselves, do the repugs tell you what to wear too?

With all the lies coming from the Repubs ,do not understand how anyone would be sucked into this but they are turning a deaf ear.

If you believe the lies in the ads and what comes out of McCain and Palin mouth , I guess you deserve what you get. I just hate it that the other half of this country has to suffer too.
All the Repub pundits , just keep it up even when confronted time and time again. Just change the subject or revert to McCains service. Yep he was a POW 40 years ago folks , not now and that is no reason to make it ok to lie to us .
The disappointment I feel in the GOP is hear breaking.

What she needs to tweek is the fact that she won't comply with the investigators in Alaska, and now her staff wont either. Just what is she covering up?

Palin and McCain are both liars and everyone knows it.

To go ahead and vote for them is not only foolish, but unpatriotic: putting party ahead of the good of the country at a time when we need honest, intelligent leadership is inexcusable and just plain wrong.

Dick Chaney in a skirt !!! America better get their heads out of there racist A$$$$$$$ 's

If there happens to be anyone who would like actual facts, please go to humanevents.com and read the full factual story of Sarah Palin and the bridge

»Governor Sarah Palin!…Sarah Palin!…Palin!…»I LOVE YOU!…This wonderful,clever Lady is our next Vice-President. YES!

“Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer,” said Governor Palin. “Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island.” Governor Palin, September 21, 2007.

http://gov.state.ak.us/archive.php?id=623&type=1

This doesn't sound like "thanks, but no thanks" to me… this sounds like "we can't finish our bridge because Congress won't give us any more money."

Smart Governor with proven record.

"This woman is a great role model for all Americans. She is a uniter.
She could make a great Vice President."
Really? Who wants a Scandal-plaqued and LYINg VP? Everyone who likes Cheney I guess?
"She is a uniter" According to this blog, she is uniting everyone against her with her lies and fabrications. Everyone slammed Obama for not visiting the wounded US troops in Germany, but at least he Was HONEST About it!
"She could make a good Vice-President" NOt if the voters have anything to say about it!
Obama/Biden 2008-2016!

Why does Palin prefer war with Russia? Instead, why not improve our relations with Russia?

Diplomacy requires some give and take. We give some, they give some and we all take a lot more from what the both sides give. War with Russia ove Georgia or Ukraine is not a solution. Already Bush has got us into a fruitless war in Iraq. We don't want more.

Palin, please reconsider your stand on going to war with Russia.

I thought the evil duo of Bush Cheney could simply not get any scarier or more cartoonish. McCain/Palin actually makes our current administration look somewhat respectable. I cannot believe half of our country could fall for this type of blatant, nefarious pandering. It's like the GOP has roofied half of the population and now they're nothing but mindless, drilling-loving, souless zombies. McCain/Palin: the savoirs of the "Head On! Apply Directly to the Forehead Head On! Apply Directly to the Forehead!" crowd.

Do voters know that there was an effort to divert the money earmarked for the bridge to nowhere to go towards Katrina relief instead and that both Obama and Biden voted against using the funds for Katrina refief and sent it to Alaska anyway?

The woman is a right-wing nut case. Is anyone surprised that the Republicans are going crazy for her??
This is one election that I will be sitting out. I have been a lifelong Democrat but cannot support the scumbag that is the nominee, and who on earth could trust that senile old man and the nut job who is his running mate. If these folks are the best America has to offer, we are in a really sad state.

This woman is such a huge joke, caustic manner, never ending repetitive speeches……she needs to get a grip with reality here!!!!!
We don't need a "hockey mom, pitbull with lipstick or any other terms she had used for herself………..we need someone who tells the truth and REALLY knows about the issues facing America.
McPalin can attack with smears and lies, but they both have NO SUBSTANCE on the real issues…..avoid, avoid, avoid at all costs being asked tough questions!!!
Sorry, did I say being asked questions…..McCain doesn't want her to be out there with real questions being asked, her knowledge is so limited.
I'm glad she went to Iraq (NOT) and can see Russia from Alaska…..boy, she sure knows so much about foreign policy……and should be go to war with Russia….and I quote, "Perhaps so".
Dear God America do you really want this lady as VP, come on!!!!!!!!!
McCain thought he would knock your socks off by picking her, and unfortunately for some "non thinking" folks it may have worked.
Mr Country First McCain will do anything, say anything to get to the White House and "people' the country can go hang if God forbid he's there and you can all feel really proud of yourselves.
That is not a vision I want to see this Nov. I want to see two really smart people who truly care about this country and the direction it's going in.
Those two people are BARACK OBAMA and JOE BIDEN, two decent men with REAL FAMILY VALUES!!!!!

Mclies needs to stop hiding behind Palins skirt, and talk about the issues!
It's like he's saying, yeah, i know i'm boring and more of the same…. but look!.. i got this pretty woman on my ticket….. so come and vote for me! Ye, she is empty up there.. but……

It is being reported that Palin's son track was a drug addict, and bristol slept with every available male in Alaska, and that Levi does not think he is the father. It is also being reported that the good mother sarah promply put bristor out when she learned about the baby. Look for this and other info in the National Equirier.

I never believed anything that this paper had to report, but after the Ewards reporting I am sold. palin will not appear on the view, she and the clappets are scheduled for Jerry. What a joke, What a joke.

Mccain/Palin=pathological liars, real presidential material…NOT!

Obama has been losing in this poll because he has not been focused on the issue but instead the tissue.

Sarah Palin is a terrible model for women or men. Lobbying to get $27 million for a town of 5,000 people and then claiming you oppose earmarks is nothing short of being a model liar.

IT IS HUMAN FOR ALL PERSONS TO RE-CONSIDER A DECISION MADE – IT HAPPENS TO YOU AND ME! AND IT CAN HAPPEN TO SARAH…….. WHAT I CAN SEE IN PALIN, IS THAT SHE HAS THE GUTS TO MAKE DECISIONS AND LEAD… GOOD LUCK .. I LOVE YOU.
I STILL LOVE HILLARY AS WELL

An interesting book, "The Late Great State of California", claimed that Ronald Regan was the first 'packaged' presidential candidate, he did the same thing Palin is doing. The packet of note-cards for his speeches was adjusted (add this one, remove that one and that one) to fit the audience. The adjustments were made based on the psychological, sociological and political profiles of the target audience. Madison-Avenue me a president, Batman.

Oh please let me have an Obama for Christmas.

does it really matter. If she is telling the same old lie again and again.

When will the MCCAIN-PALIN campaign stop lying to the public. Stop the lies. Vote OBAMA-BIDEN 08

This wicked Witch from the north that came riding a broom and the old Phart from the south riding a hot air baloon both filled with their lies lets hope they fly off into the sunset .
Cannot imagine this country with them at the top where we would be in this world all it would be is war,surge,lies,Roe vs Wade,down with womans rights and nothing for Veterans with another 4 years of McBush .
It is no mystery why the World everywhere looks to Obama to help put this country back on the the tracks he has Intelligence,education, judgement and morals .

Miss Teen South Carolina would've made more sense than Palin in the Gibson interview. Haha.

Wow, Palin is a pathological liar, isn't she? And poor John McCain had to do damage control by softening her nasty comment about community organizers. If elected President, that's what he'll be doing…sweeping up her messes. Have fun, John.

And one quick message to the neocons trying to turn Palin into a media-bashed martyr: you are truly losing credibility.

DAVID
obama has NEVER said everyone will get a tax cut. he has consistently said $250,000 and below gets cuts above gets raises.
as far as your claim for him saying he may not raise taxes on the rich. he was talking about a different tax, not income but capitol gains. he promised not to o above the 28% that was during clinton's presidency, but will try to keep it around 20% slightly higher than it is now.
you may not realize this but there are MANY taxes out there. the one he is absolute on is federal income tax.

Active Role for Palin’s Husband in Alaska Government
By WILLIAM YARDLEY
Published: September 13, 2008

ANCHORAGE — In voting to issue a subpoena to Todd Palin in an investigation of the firing of the Alaska public safety commissioner, state lawmakers on Friday signaled that Mr. Palin, the husband of Gov. Sarah Palin, might have played a central role in one of the most contentious episodes of her governorship.

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska and her husband, Todd, who has played a central role in many aspects of her administration. While that suggestion goes beyond the image presented of Mr. Palin during the Republican convention as a blue-collar family man and sportsman, it echoes a widely held understanding among lawmakers, state employees and lobbyists about Mr. Palin’s heavy engagement in state government.

In the small circle of advisers close to the governor, these people say, Mr. Palin is among the closest, and he plays an unpaid but central role in many aspects of the administration of Ms. Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president.

Mr. Palin’s involvement in the governor’s office has prompted an irreverent quip by some capital staff members when decisions are to be made that might affect the governor: “What would Todd do?”

Mr. Palin has encouraged lawmakers to support his wife’s agenda, helped her review budget items and polish speeches, surprised some lawmakers by sitting in on meetings and received copies of top administration staff e-mail messages.

Mr. Palin also has stepped into personnel issues that have personal relevance, most notably his contact with Walt Monegan, then the public safety commissioner, to express concern about the continued employment of a state trooper who had gone through a bitter divorce and custody battle with the governor’s sister. Mr. Monegan was later fired, and it is that firing that prompted the vote Friday on the subpoena.

WOW, CAN WE SAY THAT THIS IS THE MOST "HORRIFIC RED WARNING FLAG" TELLING THE VOTERS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT THE PALIN FAMILY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ANY WHERE NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

SARAH PALIN AND HER HUSBAND MAKE DICK CHENEY LOOK LIKE AN ALTER BOY!!!

I, too, am a enthusiastic Hillary supporter and am now a subsequently reluctant Obama supporter. I admit I was on the fence until McCain made his VP selelection — so thank you, Sen. McCain, for helping make my decision that much easier. Sarah Palin is in no way qualified to be VP or a heartbeat away from the Presidency. And her views could not be more opposite than mine (and Hillary's).

McCain, why didn't you choose Tom Ridge? Oh — that's right — the decision was Karl Rove's, not yours.

Obama/Biden 08.

Let us expect of more McCain-Palin lies in the days to come. The swift boat alums are now preparing attack ads on Obama. They will be televised on swing states.

Barbara Walters was one of the best and it is great to see that she has not lost her edge. I wish she would do a special where she questions all the candidates. All the other media outlets could take lessons from her. She calls a spade a spade and lets the chips fall where they will.

I will be glad when this long campaign is over, and the Repukes are out of office. We can not endure another 4 years of what we have just endured. We have been lied to, cheated on, stolen from, held as hostages for 8 years. ENOUGH already.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Palin/McCain '08!! Plain and simple! Palin would be the President, John McCain would be sitting in his rocking chair, and her children will go to work with her! And Congress and the House will get nothing done for (4) years. She will have the White House in complete oblivion!! Consequently, AMERICA WILL BE IN THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC DEPRESSION SINCE 1776!! And this time, we will NEVER be able to crawl out of the hole!!

I all for equal opportunity in the White house. I actually look forward to the day we have a strong woman as president or vice president. But this is ridiculous and scary. She isnot knowledgable on anything but maybe Energy policy. She is not strong enough to answer questions from media besides the one interview. How is she gonna handle talking to leaders from Iran, Iraq and other foregin countries.

I think it is sad that in this economy and the problems we face, this election has turned into a race of personalitlies/race instead of dealing with the issues we face..Mccain has no plan and never discusses the issues he is constantly putting Palin in the spot light so she can spout off " the bridge to no where lie, and then runs to the McCain bus, doesn't it bother anyone that neither of them will do interviews or even campaign on there own.. It makes me believe that McCain doesn't trust her he put her on the ticket strictly to get the female vote. She gives the same speech over and over again..With 7 weeks left do you think we will ever get a PLAN? Have we become so blinded that you can stick a pretty face in front of the public and they will vote for it? We are a intelligent country but lately I don't see it.. I'm absolutly amazed.. Come on People Read between the lines, Palin is no more than a pretty face with no substance.

What is the difference in Palin being for the bridge to know where, then changing her mind and Obama being against the war, but then telling reporters he might have voted differenlt if he would have been in the Senate. He only stated really being anti-war when he announced his candidency for President. I guess if you call one side a liar, call them all liars, both Democrats and Republicians. As far as all you Democratic reporters, are you scared to print both sides.

Do people find it easier to swallow a lie that comes thru lipstick?

Check out Sarah's wave-

"Sieg Heil" Sarah, we loathe you!

Palin has no reason to lie, but she keeps lieing. Just tell the truth and then you win the election. This whole thing is amazing. You have 10% people who are racist and literally can't vote for a black man, you then have 85% of african american voting for Obama because he is democratic and black. (kerry got about 83′%) You have 5% of woman voting for Palin because she is female. The you have the rest. Those who are educated and voting on the issues this year. Who wins only time will tell, but this Palin lipstick pitbull is a joke. Its incredible.

What is the difference between Sarah palin and Dick Cheney? !!!!!!lipstick!!!!!!!!!!

Gov. Palin to Congress: "Thanks but not thanks on

that bridge to nowhere. If Alaskans wanted a

bridge, we'd build it ourselves."

AMERICANS TO OBAMA: "THANKS BUT NO THANKS ON THAT

SPEECH TO NOWHERE. IF AMERICANS WANTED A SPEECH,

WE'D WRITE IT OURSELVES."

I haven't seen an article about McCain in a long time. You'd almost think Palin were running for President.

Still, McCain and Palin are the best for the country.
McCain has the judgment , the trust and the country really believe in him,

Obama only knows how evangeliz e to you democrats, after all he has 20 years sitting in the wrong church,
he realy is only a preacher, one who has only community organizer. That is not a qualification for president.
McCain 2008.

Palin clearly had no clue what the BUSH DOCTRINE is when Gibson asked here and even when he commented he didn't understand her answer (a blizzard of words, he called it) and said YES OR NO… she just yapped on and on and STILL didn't answer thew question.

She danced around every question and never answered anything… now we learn she's LYING about her trip to Iraq… Her answers on her "foreign affairs" experience are among the most MORONIC and INSULTING I've heard yet. The woman was a TOURIST in Canada and Mexico; her European experience consists of a refueling stop in Ireland; her trip to Iraq was to peak across the border…. UNREAL.

Oh ya… and she can see Russia on the horizon from the west coast of Alaska….

STUPID STUPID STUPID

Check out Sarah's wave-

"Sieg Heil" Sarah, we loath you!

I'm from Anchorage. I wonder how many of the people who sing her praises are aware of the fact that, to it's own residents, Wasilla is known as "the armpit of Alaska" and that it's residents (to the rest of local areas) are called "Wasilla-billies" and that Wasilla is the meth-lab capital of the state. I've heard all of these comments during her term as mayor of that town. Take a closer look at the town she "governed" and see what it is she's so proud of leading. I wouldn't put her within 50 yards of the White House.

I like Sarah Palin, she's a MAVERICK like McCain. This lifelong democrat will vote straight Republican ticker in November.

The Democrats and their and "leaders" and "power brokers" gave us Obama instead of Clinton.

Now even $66 million in one month can't lift him up to even 50% of likely voters.

DUMB! What a lousy candidate – if he thinks he can BUY this election, and he has obscene sums of money, guess what?

OBAMA CANNOT WIN THIS ELECTION – THE DNC MUST BE VERY PROUD OF THEMSELVES.

Laugh all the way to the polls, people.

Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi – how about that ticket???

I watched Governor Palin's interview and was especially concerned over her explanation of her position on President Bush's preemptive strike policy. She said that in the case of "eminent threat" to America she agreed that preemptive military action would be appropriate. My question is how she defines "eminent threat". President Bush justified the Iraqi invasion by saying the threat posed there was sufficient cause. Senator McCain supported the decision and by doing so also must have considered the threat "eminent". Senator Obama did not consider the threat "eminent" and so disagreed. Would Governor Palin use a similar definition of "eminent threat" to justify military action or would she take Senator Obama's more cautious and conservative approach?

Yes, she will continue to lie and people will continue to ignore the lie and may even start believing it. I have a problem with that, but my biggest issue with Palin is that as mayor, she charge rape victims for the rape kits, but used tax payer dollars/ federal earmarks for a $15 million hockey rink. That's incomprehensible!

It is my hope that the Republicans underestimated the intelligence of the American electorate.

McCain has lost all my respect. No McCain/ No Palin. All they do is lie!!!!

Chanel,
Try Huffington Post and MSNBC (Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman).

And by the way, I personally DO NOT WANT a potential president that attends a church where they speak in tongues. Can you imagine THAT FINGER on the button in a crisis???

macsame/palin ticket will take America to cold war era and Americans at war with the world. America cannot right all the wrongs in the world ALONE!!!!!. Americans….wake up!!!!.
OBAMA/BIDEN….the path to peace.

Liars are the cause of all the sins and crimes in the world
- Epitectus

THE THING WITH MCCAIN AND PALIN IS THAT THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN THEM BOTH IS VERY SUSPECIOUS, AND I AM NOT
GOING THE TAKE THE CHANCE, MISS PALIN IS DEFENETLY
A FLASH IN THE PAN. I RESPECT HER AS A WOMAN,ALSO HER
FAMILY, BUT MR MCCAIN WILL DO ANY,AND I MEAN ANY THING
TO ACHEIVE IS EVEREY WISH. HIS PARTY HAS MANY PEOPLE
WHO IS BETTER SUITED FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
I THINK ITS A INSULT TO THOSE NAME THAT WAS MENTION
THIS COUNTRY IS IN A MESS, AND JOHN MCCAIN IS PART
OF THE PROBLEM, SORRY MR MCCAIN HAVE ALL YOUR FUN
NOW, ITS OVER ON THE 4TH OF NOVEMBER , "ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH"

The GOP is directing the election campaign strategy exactly the way they want to. They are a step ahead of the Dems and will allow this current hype to continue over the next few weeks. When the Dems and Liberals finally tire from their rants, the GOP will then use the fodder from the liberal backlash to fuel their charge up to the election. They have effectively drawn the Dems deep into their own game "finger pointing and whining" that they will lose focus, stumble, fumble and lose. Then they will implode from within, all to Bill Clinton's shagrin, that he will have secured Hillary's nomination in 2012.

Maybe they dropped the nuclear energy info because she can't say it properly.

As much as I would like to, as a life long republican woman, I can't vote for anyone that can't say nuclear (no, it's not nucular) and is too scared/uninformed/ignorant/untrusted by her peers to be interviewed.

Can't handle an interview with Barbara Walters?? How are you going to do negotiating with Putin??

McCain is so quick to point out that he and his side-kick lead the effort on curbing wasteful spending. He's got to be kidding!!! Let's talk a moment about the 9 billion dollars that was stuffed into bags from our U.S. Treasury and then shipped off to Iraq never to be seen again. There was absolutely no accountabilty for what this money was used for, instead it simply disappeared. When Paul Bremmer the U.S. Viceroy to Iraq was aksed about the missing funds, he repiled" Well things like this happen during war" and that was pretty much it. Barely any mention of the missing money on any of the cable news or major networks. 9 BILLION DOLLARS OF OUR TAXPAYER MONEY VANISHES WITHOUT A TRACE AND NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. AT LEAST THERE'S BEEN NO MEANINGFUL INVESTIGATION THAT I'VE HEARD OR READ ABOUT. Yet McCain wants to talk about 50 million dollars that was spent on some government project here in the States. INSTEAD HE MAY WANT TO CONCENTRATE HIS EFFORTS ON RECOVERING THE 9 BILLION THAT WAS PROBABLY STOLEN FROM US BY THE BUSH HIRED CONTRACTORS THAT PERMEATE EVERY SQUARE INCH OF IRAQI SOIL!!!

To David in Indian Wells- YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! People seem to forgot that these are the exact same people running McSame's campaign that brought us George W. Bush. We all know how well that worked out!

Any candidate with half a brain is going to tweak their speech to the concerns of their audience. Actually, any public speaker would do that. It's common sense, and I would be worried about a candidate who didn't do that. A rural population is going to have different concerns than an urban one. Do you think farmers are all that worried about the plight of inner city youth?

As for tax plans, I think both the Obama and McCain plans stink. The rich shouldn't be getting tax breaks, nor should they be footing the majority of the bill for everyone else. How about we just eliminate the income tax completely and hike up sales tax? The rich will still pay more because they can afford more, and we'll not only get money from illegals working in this country, but the "poor" who still manage to afford expensive items. And then no one will complain about how much they pay because it will be directly related to what they buy.

White women of all people should be outraged at McCain's choice.

Smoke and mirrors, swift boating, elected Bush the second time.

McCain is a puppet, being run by Bush lobbyist. Look at how the straight talk express has turned into a sleaze machine. The transformation is frighten. Fear mongering, lies, interfering with a state investigation.

This is not a sexist remark. Let the woman say what is on her mind.

Again, for all of you who support the maverick Mccain for championing the cause of cutting pork barrel spending, can you please enlighten me on where 9 billion dollars of our taxpayer money went when it was shipped of to Iraq in canvas bags?? I turn into C-Span only to see a video clip of these no-bid contractors in Iraq hired by the Bush adminstration lined up around a bunch of tables with hundreds of shrink wrapped packages containing thousand dollar bills. The leader of the group proudly announcing "We are open for buisness boys and we pay in cash". I'm sick of my tax dollars going to a bunch of worthless bloated _______s so they can sit aorund on golf carts 24/7. You want to pay for these guys to play golf, you write them a check, I'm sick of it.

This is not news. Obama does the same thing. It's akin to a rock group saying "This is the best city we've ever played in" at a concert. Just another measly reason for the liberal media to beat up a woman.

Obama camp calls it a 'lie'….

strong, hateful words from someone
promising 'change'…

I have to give her credit, I didn't think she was smart enough to change her speech based on her location.

According to 20/20 which aired Charles Gibson's full interview with Palin, the funds originally meant for the bridge to nowhere was used for building a "road to nowhere". They also showed the aerial view of the half-finished road.

PALIN, RELEASE YOUR TAX RECORDS!

SHOW US TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT.

If most of the blogs I read are against Palin, why isn't the media catching on. There is no way everyone is wrong. Everything I've heard about Palin is awful. Why is the media trying to protect her. Will they like it when she becomes vp and start messing things up worse than what they are? Will they try to cover her then? The first time I saw her face on tv, I felt there was something amiss about her. The more I hear, the more I wonder. Who the heck is she really?

And Obama never changes his rhetoric to suit the crowd? Have we forgotten "bitter Americans with guns and religion?" At least she doesn't try to lie her way out of it like yours, truly,CNN! (Obama)

Sarah Palin has been proven, by the New York Times and a host of other reputable sources, to be a liar. It's not name-calling, it's the truth.

This isn't American Idol, folks. America has big problems on the domestic and international front.

Hmm – What would be the more prudent, intelligent choice? A Harvard-educated president and a six-term Senator with a graduate school education?

Or an aging cancer survivor, trailing a mouthy, sarcastic liar with an undergrad journalism degree (and a frightening, uneducated far- right political agenda) waiting breathlessly to take his place?

America needs leaders. Sarah Palin is not a leader. John McCain has demonstrated, by his irresponsible choice, that he is not prepared to give this country the leadership it deserves and desperately needs.

E. Boatman, you used the word 'scurried' in your description of Palin and how she returns to the wrecked "Bus to Nowhere".

You now owe rats all across America an apology!

Pitbulls have been hanging their heads for 3 weeks now!

Why are we disparaging innocent animals?

Sarah Palin, what a fraud

Hillary says, no way, no how, no McCain, no Palin .

Obama says, no way, no how, no Hillary.

For all of those talking about the "LIBERAL" media. Just look at the quote from one of McCains main advisers-John Weaver ( I know is says former because ge was forced to step down, but do we really think he still isn't in board). Distract the public with the help of the media:

“Every day not talking about the economy, the war and how to fix a broken system is a victory for McCain,” said John Weaver, a former top strategist to the nominee who left the campaign last year. “They’re going to ride it as long as they can and as long as the mainstream media puts up every ridiculous charge.”

Bank to lying again, huh, Sarah? You must have left these portions out of your stum speech in alaska where people know you are lat out lying! How com CNN is not reporting on the beig Anti-Sarah Rally in Anchorage where what is considered a hughe crowd for Alaska showed up to protest this woman? Ah, once again the MSM only covers the news they wants, and hide the ugly little things about McCain/Palin. Cnn will block this, but I will not give up trying to expose McCain and palin for the frauds they are!

I thought the times and mindset of Anita Bryan were over!
Now we have to go back to the Nixon era and repeat the past.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over with the same results.
Thank you McCain and Palin for showing my children the deference between
innovation and theft , diversion and truth, court of law or a court of chosen few .

Look at the product, not the packaging!

I was taught the when being bulled, joining the bully was a sign of weakness, McCain who now walks hand in hand with Rove.
Sad to see a good man go bad.

All the best,

LOL, Darrell you can't see through your blind devotion to Obama.
His statements contradict each other, at the least, if you can't even admit that you are lost….

You can fool some of the people some of the time.

Why doesn't someone pick up that Palin Supports Obama's windfall profits Tax. In fact she implemented it in Alaska and gave and extra $1200 to each Alaskan citizen.

I thought These guys were campaigning against such taxes, but it turns out that putting all the money from the oil companies into the pockets of the voters makes you very popular (and with the size of her family – they did OK – over $20,00 this year – and that doesn't count what she gets for living in her own home)

So…she's lying when leaves that stuff out then?

SOUNDS VERY CONNIVING AND UNTRUSTWORTHY! NO ONE DISAGREES SHE IS VERY GOOD POLITICIAN, BUT THE PROBLEM IS SHE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE LYING AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE JUST LIKE McCAIN SHE TELL PEOPLE ONLY WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. THIS WOMAN IS COMPLETELY UNKNOWN EXCEPT WHAT IS BEING FOUND OUT ABOUT HER ALL OF WHICH IS NOT GOOD. NOW YOU CAN BELIEVE ALL THE MAJOR MEDIA SORCES & FACTCHECK.ORG OR YOU CAN BELIEVE McCAIN AND REPUBLICAN PUDDENTS.

JUST ASK YOURSELF BASED ON THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO YOU AND YOUR RESEARCH ON HER WHY WOULD YOU CAST YOUR RESPONIBLE VOTE FOR HER GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME LEFT TO VET HER, BASED ON THE SITUATION OUR NATION IS IN.

NOW TRUE McCAIN WOULD HAVE YOU TO BELIEVE THAT SHE IS BEING MISREPRESENTED BY EVERYONE BUT THOSE THAT WOULD BENEFIT IN SOME WAY. GO TO MSNBC AND CHECK OUT THE REPORTS THEY HAVE, THEY ARE REPORTING MORE THAN CNN GO TO FACTCHECK.ORG THEN CAST YOUR VOTE FOR HER IF YOU ARE STILL TRUST SHE IS THE ONE OUR NATION NEEDS, BUT I THINK AS AN INDEPENDENT VOTER THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAVE WITH ALL THOSE THAT ARE SUPPORTING HER IS THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS BASED ON LOGIC, BUT THAT YOU ARE BLINDLY FOLLOWING ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE SWOODED!

Palin didn't tweak anything. She just deleted the lies out of her Alaskan speech, because she couldn't play that game on her Alaskan audience. Then, she reinserted the lies on Saturday for the benefit of the lower 48 states.

You cannot please all the people. The liberals want to cry over the gas prices but do not want no drilling in their state and no refiniries. You wonder why most of america has no use for the liberal states. Nobody would really want a refinery or drilling in their state if they could but America needs them for the betterment of this country. God bless the South : Country over state. What the South should do is reward its citizens with lower gas prices and raise the prices for these liberal states. Let them pay rtheir fair share for going against Americas well being.

And this is who you should put a heartbeat from the Oval Office for a 72 yr ago President whose Father & Grandfather both died suddenly from heart attacks.

What's up with this???? To all of my comments!
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Different lies for different crowds.

Palin a "uniter"? Yeah. Sure…. She may be uniting the incredibly stupid. The rest of us are united in hoping she gets a bus ticket back to Alaska as soon as possible. I don't want a Barbie Doll for my VP. I want someone with some brains. Reading a speech over and over again just proves one thing. She can read. She didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was, when she was interviewed the other night (attack a country who is threatening you before they attack you). I never thought I'd wish for the days of Dan Quayle.

OK, she got selected two weeks ago and we already know about at least 5 lies she and McCain have told about her:

1-Bridge to no where lie
2- Went to Iraq lie
3-Went to Ireland lie
4-Sold plane on Ebay lie
5-Being a champion of no earmarks lie

Is it just me or has the Obamabot Platform consisted only of "Stop talking about Sarah Palin" for the last two weeks? Wow, how inspiring….

Hillary 2012.

Democrats try to focus on the issues. What the republicans seem to understand far better is that voting is not a rational choice, it is an emotional choice. The issues, after all, change over the years. So you choose on the basis of future (unknown) issues and thus it is all about vague emotional concepts as the general political direction of a candidate and if the candidate is to be trusted. Hence, the `character' debate. Forget about experience, voters are not very interested other than as a marker for character. Forget about the plans, voters know from experience that the plan is the first casualty of reality. The McCain campaign uses this angle rather well.

But the McCain campaign is walking a tightrope. They are lying and distorting the truth far more than the Obama campaign (see for instance factcheck.org). The lies hurt their opponent directly but the feeling when lies are exposed hurts their credibility and diminishes their trustworthiness. The closer to the election, the bigger the distortions and lies on both sides will be as it takes time to expose lies. But it is a close race and if they peak too early, they might fail.

Maybe Obama should campaign more on emotional issues like 'change'. Since change has been co-opted by McCain Obama could move to other emotional issues like `honesty'. Maybe the Obama campaign is already planning this and maybe the republicans are digging their own hole as we speak as they are only creating input for Obama to use in the last month/weeks.

Nixon, ironically, was the first victim of large scale campaign lies (the "rocket gap" of the Kennedy campaign was a lie and Kennedy knew). Eisenhower and Carter were the probably last `decent' presidents the US had. Obama seems to try, though even he cannot do completely without given the attacks he is facing.

McCain is getting soooooooo much mileage about his hurt and bitter attitude after Bush low balled and swift boated him back in 2000.
After that campaign he 'opposed' a some Bush proposals, global warming, tax cuts for the rich, and (I can't remember the other, look it up on Wikipedia).
Before and AFTER that brief appearance as a Maverick, he has been Bush and right of Bush AND all those maverick moves he has flip flopped on over time.
Of course he had hurt feelings after what Bush did to him in that campaign, (calling his wife a drug addict and Swift Boating his military record), and of course he postured against everything Bush put forward, except the Iraq War; BUT. my friends, THEY KISSED AND MADE UP A LONG TIME AGO. They bought him back!!!
In 26 years, Feingold and him created a pretty good bill and he had a few other minor accomplishments, one with Kerry, which he NEVER brags about. Obama did more legislation in a few years than McCain did in a few decades!
McCain and Obama and America are WRONG about Ossetia! Sachofshiltes IS a war criminal!
Russia is rising out of decline and America is *spiralling into it.
*(9 trillion in debt [borrowing from China and Russia to pay Iraquis to stop shooting at you!?] highest crime rate of developed nations, lowest education rate, overstretched world expansionism, worst cultural and racial divisions)
Russia and China are lining you up in their cross hairs. Right now they could destroy America by simply calling for their paper money!!!
America can recover but McCain and Palin cannot lead it, and Obama might be able to stall it.
America would have to buy into Obama's plan and there plain old probably are not enough Americans with brains to GET IT. BILL MAHER is the ONLY American I've seen who GETS IT. HE IS WHO YOU NEED, you NEED a CHURCHILL times 10, and you only have – 10's.

The two faces of the twofaced John McChain, raving publicly about the surge in iraq while pravitely saying it was a failure

Laura Bush stated on 09/01/08 that Palin’s experience as a mayor, qualified her for the Republican vice presidency.

Cindy McCain stated Sunday, 8/31/08 Palin had national security experience because Alaska was next to Russia.

QUESTIONS TO ALL THE MOTHER'S OF AMERICA'S CHILDREN

Are you willing to take a chance that the welfare and safety of your own children, may at sometime in the future be the responsibility of the Republican party that actually believes that anyone, male or female, with experience as a city council member and the mayor of a village of 9.000 for 8 of her 10 years of “executive” experience, actually qualifies the candidate for the top office in the land?

The same Republican party believes that the fact that the state, which has a total population of less than the city of Atlanta, and which she is the current governor of for all of 20 months, during which time she has already managed to create a cloud of suspicion for possibly abusing the power of her office. and is currently being investigated, is actually qualified for national security because the state she is the governor of is next to Russia?

No matter how you feel about the Democratic ticket at least the one with the lesser experience was ELECTED, and made a VP selection of someone who would bring balance to the ticket and provides some responsibility. The Republican VP was SELECTED by one man that actually believes the Republican statements and beliefs as outlined above.

You parents out there need to think long and hard about this ticket but more importantly about the Republican party which is apparently so welling to cater to the Far Right that the entire Republican party is willing to chance putting your own kids future in jeopardy, just so they can win an election?

How exactly is that considered "Country First"?

CHANEL..Yes, there IS a place you can get real facts..its http://www.factcheck.org
and as for Catholics having probs with Bidens anser on when life begins, are they ALSO having probs with the McCain -Palin LIES…at least Biden answered correctly according to Catholic doctrine, life begins at conception, however he wasnt going to force his beliefs on others..whats wrong with that answe ??? NOTHING !!! whats wrong with LIES ??? EVERYTHING>>>
Obama -Biden..Please hang tough..Beat these miserable LIARS…

Nothing Obama or his campaign can dig up or say about Sarah Palin or John McCain is as bad as Obamas inexperience, the church he attended for 20 yrs. and the pastor who was his best friend and the people he hung around with and got his sweetheart deals from. You are the ones who need to wake up Obama followers.

In the rep. publicity they say S. Palin is "Devoted to her family" In what planet is a full time politician devoted to their family? It looks like she is actualy running away from her family and all her family troubles!! What is she smiling about? She is scary!
Charity begins at home.

»HURRAH for the GREAT man John McCain!…HURRAH for the beautiful,smart Sarah Palin!…The wonderful Sarah Palin will CHARM the entire Country. Yes.

The rain of her lies will come flooding down on her, just hope it's sooner rather than after they steal the election

Mrs Palin calls it tweaking her campaign, I call it outright lies. Speaking of liars, where does McCain propose to build those 40 to 45 nuclear power plants.

Lie 1…….Bridge to No Where…..only changed her mind when forced to…and never returned the money for that project
Lie 2…….Sold jet on Ebay for a profit…..sold to a broker many months later for a loss
Lie 3…….Palin visited Iraq….she never left the Kuwait border. She also never “visited” Finland.. it was merely a re-fueling stop.
Lie 4…….She had no earmarks ……everyone has earmarks but why lie about it?
And the Troopergate problem remains and she is trying to block the subpoenas. Another lie, Sarah?
We seem to hear a new lie every couple of days.

she's ok to admit dumping waste in someones backyard but when shes at that persons backyard she wont admit it.

It doesn't matter if she changed her position on the bridge or if she didn't. What matters is SHE KEPT THE $$. Why doesn't someone in the media press her on that?

The media FINALLY begins exposing the lies that bloggers discovered on day 2 of her announcement.

Yet the republicans still say "we are in it to win" and will keep submitting lies because we want to.

Seems the republicans have tried that route for the last 8 years at a very high cost in both lives and funds in an illegal war.

WE CANNOT AFFORD 4 MORE!

Gee a political candidate adjust their speech to adjust to the crowd they are speaking too? Amazing… CNN this is just groundbreaking…. wow.

It's disturbing to see the party of unity or whatever the DNC claims it is now whining with such hatred and vitriol. THIS is change we can believe in? Um……..NOT.

Hillary 2012.

GIVEN RNC'S TACTICS, WILL VOTES BE COUNTED PUBLICLY? PUT THE TALLYING ON YOUTUBE/PUBLIC TV/CORP NEWS STATIONS!!!!

DONT' WANT TO FIND BAGS OF VOTES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER…

Can hardly wait for her to debate and actually have to ANSWER a few questions. Think she might know what the Bush Doctrine is by then? Or which countries she actually set foot in? Or whether she supports stem cell research or not? Or whether it is honorable to attack a sovereign nation without their permission when looking for terrorists? Or, and my favorite, whether prisoners have rights? She blasted Obama for expecting us to treat prisoners with the Geneva Convention rights they deserve, no matter what we THINK they may have done.

Give us a Constitutional scholar any day over this lying duo.

I am anxiously waiting on Palin's answer as to why she wanted to charge a rape victim $100.00 dollars for a test kit. This wicked witch must stop hiding and face the media to answer for all of her fabricated lies and dumb decisions. I challenged the cocky wacko to face Barbra and the girls on The View. I double dare you Sarah!

As a democrat who is not thrilled with Obama, McCain has made my decision easy. Obama! I actually had respect for McCain before this race. Thank you John for showing your true colors before election time. Maverick? Then why didn't you actually choose the V.P. candidate you wanted instead of pulling some stunt. She has no place near the White House and with everything coming out about her, she may not even be the governor of Alaska for long.

Talk about flip flopping McCain has gone from a maverick to a conservative party shill!!

I'm glad everyone is so "gun hole" on Sarah/McCain.

Sarah, God don't like ugly and judging others.

Voters, beware!

I watched Biden/Palin revealed special on CNN last night. I was in total awed when I heard that Sarah Palin had went into labor in April. She opt to leave the state she was in flew 8 hours while in labor so her child would be born in Alaska.
How could any mother risk the life of their unborn child and themselves?
Did she understand the risk involve or she was just that selfish and decided to take the chances to keep her child from being born in another state in America?
That was a total unethical and risky decision Sarah made. Both Sarah and McCain lacks sound judgement to command the country.

"Palin is open to changing a few lines here and there — depending on the audience."

I thought that's very stupid. Speak your mind and gut, Palin. Speak out the issues. You are here to be the VP for GOP. You are not selected by the America people to be the "CROWD PLEASER" when you go around the country. You are here to serve the American public and not to please them as John McCain wants you to.

It's the same old lies… rehashed and tied with a pretty bow!! How many times can she regurgitate the same stuff? Why isn't she on the talk shows today? Why isn't she ready to do REAL interviews!!

Because she's lame, lacking in knowledge, and JUST NOT READY!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!! VOTE SMART…. NOT SENILE!!!

shes a LIAR!

All I can understand about this woman is if she ever gets an opportunity to take control of the White House she will perform the same way as she has done as the Governor of Alaska which is call Power Drunk! And Pleas CNN set the record straight the Democrats are not the only ones in Congress there are some Republicans there too!

I'D LIKE TO LET AMERICA KNOW THAT McCAIN AND PALIN HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY DECLARED THE DUMBEST PRESIDENTIAL AND VP CANDIDATES IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

McCAIN – GRAUDUATED NUMBER 894 OUT OF 899 IN THE NAVAL
ACADEMY – NO COLLEGE. HUMMM, THAT'S DUMBER
THAN BUSH.
PALIN – WENT TO SIX DIFFERENT COLLEGES IN SIX YEARS AND
SHE ONLY HAS A BA DEGREE. IN THAT TIME SPAN SHE
SHOULD HAVE HAD AT LEAST A MASTERS.

Note: Obama and Biden both have law degrees. Hmmm

She has to change her lies to each audience. That what this article needs to say.

wow…Palin is hotter than Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Miley Cirus combined!!!! But, that's all there is to it. An agent of change?? well..she's been obviously 'coached' what to say & how to lie. Much like Bush sticking to his claim of wmd in iraq, the economy is doing just fine, etc etc, palin is sticking to her bridge story. Watch out folks, a wolf in a sheep's clothing is still a wolf, or maybe a wolf with a lipstick

So many lies, in so little time!

No better examles than this can be called LYING.

Simple question. Too many lies from McCain and Palin.

Do any of you really want them setting the "win by lying" example for your kids?

What about the issues. Why do people come to hear her speak and she says the same thing we have seen her say since we met her. I don't understand people. We have serious issues to take care of her and it is very disappointing that so many Americans thinks this is a game. If all these people relate to McCain and Palin we live in a very scary world. I wish she would stop smacking her lips when she talks and say something worthwhile.

I have a great idea. Why don't we take our nuclear waste to Alaska? Once they kill off all the wolves and the elk die from starvation because of overpopulation, there won't be any wildlife to worry about. I bet Palin could get some money out of the feds for it.

I am an 18 year old college student in Madison (and a Republican), but if I ever catch wind of Palin appearing here, I will be one of the protesters. How can she think the public is this stupid? One thing is for sure: the mainstream media sure is.

She was in Iraq/she wasn't.

She was in Ireland/she bought a tshirt at the airport.

She was for the bridge/she was against it.

Check out today's NY Times article that documents all the former high school buds she has hired as the Gov.

Wanna hear that accent all over Washington every night?

McCain is a sick man to have wished to fool the country using Palin as a decoy. A truly sick man, and I am disgusted every time he calls me his friend.

America saw a Leader . Someone who is ready to lead the country.(LOL) Who is not afraid to lie in their face…She reads well and that's about it. She wants to appear tough,…but really doesn't know what she is talking about. She was certainly prepared for this one, but yet exposed her poor knowledge of the world, SAD.
America ! WAKE UP? Bad dream….

Palin and McSame deserve each other! She started lying from Day 1 and he's lying constantly. They will say anything, do anything, regardless of how sleazy to try and trick the people of this country again into voting for them. Judging by Obama's new dollar numbers for August as well as the 500,000 NEW SUPPORTERS in August alone, maybe it's not working. It's time for the mainstream media to "out" mcsame/cheney clone on their daily lies, it's time for all of the people to learn the truth of this nasty team! OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Yes We Can….(turn American into a Socialist Country where you will be punished for working hard to make a better liffe)

Obama Biden '08

Palin can't pronounce nuclear

Ms. Palin is another Bush and Mccain. Americans please wake up and redeem your past glory by voting for a change (Obama/Bide)

OH Sarah…..She’s open to changing a few lines here and there — depending on the audience.She is a born LIAR and she is being program by Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt Long time Protege of the Pillsbury Dough Boy Karl Rove (Hipocrites)!

CNN, please ask and insist that the candidates and their surrogates answer the questions and stick to the issues facing the American people.

Keep up the bias.
More double standards to try to bring down a woman:

Obama does that ALL the time- talks one way to San Francisco and another way to evangelicals.

When Obama does it it is smart politics and shrewd campaigning.

The pundits even tell Obama how to tailor his message to appeal to lower income white blue collar workers.

They coach Obama on how to reach out to Hillary's women.

How is that any different?

Ha Ha Ha…too funny

I just heard that McCain was making fun of governors and mayors who had been doing their jobs for just a few years. Example, McCain criticized Mitt Romney. Hmmm, since Romney has MORE experience than Palin, then what does McCain really think about Palin's meak experience.

START SAYING THE TRUTH MCCAIN. YOU HAVE BEEN LYING MORE AND MORE…..now I know why they say McCain sounds more like Bush

And now McMuch/PaLiar plan joint town hall meetings.

Looks like they are going to have to put bunk beds in the White House.

Darrell stop drinking the Obama koolaide. He is cutting taxes for 95% but raising corporate, capital gains, and payroll taxes on small business's. who make over 250 and under a million, which more than half work for. They will have lower taxes but no jobs the following year due to lay offs. How is that good for the economy. Even Hillary Clinton said in debate after debate that his plan is not going to work and will bankrupt not only small but larger business's in the long run. You can't rob peter to pay for paul.

McCain will get rid of all earmarks( which by the way Obama has close to a billion since being Senator) and this will help pay for our deficit. As far as helping the rich if you mean McCain cutting taxes on small business and corporations I applaud him. This will enable employers to hire more people, negociate better salaries, and keep our economy going. Health care IMO should be paid for by the employer and that should be mandatory whom ever takes office. As a small business owner we do it and there are enough good plans out there that are affordable and its a benefit that keeps good employee's staying at their jobs.

As far as Gov. Palin do more homework she has helped alot of people in her state. The gas tax credit by the way that Obama supporters laughed at Hillary for proposing worked quite well in Alaska. You Obama supporters better do more homework other than chanting your nominee's name. Of course CNN won't post this because its the truth and pro McCain.

This woman is a joke! Each day a new story surfaces proving that she lied about yet another thing. The fact that she can see Russia from Alaska does NOT make her an authority in foreign affairs. I do NOT want a PTA member/hockey mom making decisions for the USA in times of crisis! I find it offensive that McCain thinks women are so stupid that we would vote for him just because he added a woman to his ticket. He added a woman who has a questionable past, is under ethics investigation, and lies daily……..that to me is not a woman I want to vote for!

Wake up America…the only thing McCain – Palin can do for us is to put us into another misguided war with all their saber rattling. I'm sure after her Gibson interview, Putin is sitting in Russia, laughing at her remarks and thinking oh, yes, bring it on……..duh, did she forget that Russia has the power to nuke our brains out!

NO WAY NO HOW NO MCAIN NO PALIN!

No news here.

When Obama does it it is smart politics and shrewd campaigning.

The pundits even tell Obama how to tailor his message to appeal to lower income white blue collar workers.

They coach Obama on how to reach out to Hillary's women.

How is that any different?

Well, this is NEW……………….Not!

Most politicians DO "tweak" their speeches for different audiences.

Barack Obama "tweaked" his speech in California when he talked about people "clinging to" religion and guns in another part of the country. I seriously doubt he would have said that in front of those he was talking about.

BTW CNN, it is a fact that she is lying about the bridge to nowhere. You are as a media outlet responsible for calling it what it is. A lie… Suggesting that the Obama campaign says is a lie…is disingenuous.

If I were pregnant and leaking fluid, I think the first thought on my mind would be "If I don't get to a hospital now, I might lose this baby." Maybe that was her thought too! Doesn't sound terribly pro-life to me.

Enough is Enough, I dont understand guys who think having 10 guns in the house is better than having a job and evangelicals who dont think that poverty is a big issue in America and in the world, somehow they think that if they force each and every woman to give birth even when they have been raped, that will put food on the kitchen table. Enough is Enough, now everytime a bom explodes in Iraq it is reported like local news, so what if they kill each other there, America comes first, Jobs first, School Health etc… The Evangelicals set the agenda for the last 8 years and we have seen the results, we are fed up.

Too many lies from McCain and Palin.

Do any of you really want them setting the "win by lying" example for your kids?

Simple question.

WHY——————IS——————-THIS——————–WOMAN—————-GETTING————————–A————————–FREE———————RIDE???

I'm seriously pissed off at the media. Why on earth aren't we hearing more about these lies on the friggin' television? This is pathetic and frankly frightening. I'm pissed! I'm volunteering today to make some calls Nevada, I'll be telling the truth, an entire army will be telling the truth. This woman is a nightmare.

I thank God the truth about Palin is coming out now even the Bible says the truth shall set as free.America keep listening to lies not the issues. We all know the Obama has a good plans for our pocket but people do not care that fact just because he is Black .When will American put race aside even Great Britain had one of their Top me in cabinet who was Black so why can't American's accept the fact and Vote for Obama who is right for the Country at this Crucial times.

This woman needs to start talking about the issues. The american people deserve to know what she stands for and the media needs to do a better job at questionning this woman views on national security, on the economy and on healthcare. If we don't do it now, later if she gets to the white house it may be too late. we tend to treat the presidential race not as a beauty contest but for what it stands for. With the ever increasing threat from Russia, Iran and Venezuela, we can't afford an inexperienced woman being the vice president with a 72 year old man with some serious health condition as president. The situation is dire. We need to think about this. In the next 4 years, our security threat will be increased with Iran a few step closer of acquirering nuclear weapon, with Russia arming venezuela. THIS IS NOT A BEAUTY CONTEST!!!!!!!!POST IT CNN

NO THANKS

WE DO NOT NEED MISS ALASKA LIES NOWHERE!!!

Thanks but No Thanks to Gov. Palin and McCain..

You Attention Please…
Bus Number 2862 Straight and Outright Lies Express will be leaving to Bridge to Nowhere on November 4th..

Yes We Can!
Obama Biden '08 '12

In my view, Mrs. Palin's current family crisis (pregnant daughter, Newborn) is sure to have a pschological impact on the Governor and the family. In addition, her religious views are almost apocalyptic as well.

It will depend if America wants to move away from the Rove years.

Hopefully, McCain, 72, will retire now.

Whether this election is won or lost by Obama depends a lot on the media now. If the media does not help the average busy and tired American by telling their audience the truth, they could very well believe the lies and misrepresentations of the McCain/Palin campaign.

We need the media to get out the truth and the facts this election. Americans are depending on them, whether they know it or not.

I watched the msnbc series on palin yesterday….no doubt she is a power hungry lady….I am scared she would do something like poision mccain to be president…I just can't put it past her after watching the story of her life….very desperate woman.

She is a quick study.
Brilliant
And as devious a politician as Obama.

Hillary was too nice- she did not want to criticize Obama. Obama had no problem mocking, jeering and belittling Hillary. Obama played foul dirty politics.

I doubt Sarah can be as divisive and evil… but she is quick and bright and actually DOES have a track record. So at least she is a match for the media darling.

The phantom has met his match and she is a beauty.

Palin didn't learn anything from Obama.

She learned it from Karl Rove.

Does anyone even listen to her speeches anymore? She's growing old and the appeal is already wearing off.

People who still want to vote republican after these two faced, lying, hypocritical, war mongering Mc lies and Pain have been exposed, need help!

Good for Her… she is learning really quickly how Obama has managed to appeal to everyone by tailoring his message…

I mean… refining his position based on new evidence and changing circumstances.

Sarah Palin is very intelligent and has the same right to refine her positions based on new evidence and changing circumstances.

Or is everything Obama used to steal an edge off limits to Palin since she is just a white woman. We have different standards for young up and coming black men. Obama does not even need any prior experience- good move- nothing there to criticize.

Having DONE MUCH, Sarah will have much to scrutinize and criticize.
Playing it safe- voting present- there is no track record or accomplishments to criticize Obama on.

Palin should be held to the same standards as Hillary and other political candidates. She touts herself as equal in every other respect. If she can't stand the heat, she could get out of the kitchen. PLEASE, media, do your part. Don't baby her. No stone should be left unturned re her policies, past, etc. She says she is ready.

David,

You're a liar. Obama has been consistent with his tax policies. It is you and other Republicans who will stop at nothing to keep power. You will lie, you will smear, and you will talk about anything but the issues.

If the NEWS MEDIA would just simply drop the Palin spin, she would fade into the background and we could get on with the real issues that are facing this country. Enough, Enough, Enough.

Just listen to all the pundits everyday yelling and screaming over each other…look at the negative ads…I am sick and tired to all of this…NO MORE.

READ MY LIPS CNN, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and everyone else……IT'S THE ECONOMY, HEALTH CARE, THE WAR, FOREIGN POLICY AND ON AND ON.

AGAIN, IT'S THE ECONOMY, HEALTH CARE, THE WAR, FOREIGN POLICY, AND ON AND ON….

GET IT, GET IT ……ENOUGH!

They are really working the flag waving chest thumping crowd, that cry over beer being shipped oversea and want a Spears like Vice president, boy im glad i grew up in a mature setting, i cant even imagine what serious life changing situations these tools missed growing up thatd teach them through whats happening now. In the end only a minority is intelligent, majority is always dragging feet and being apathetic, no surprise there, but lets do our best and get these clowns to wake up, alot of good comments in here, happy to know theres a good chunk of us on the right track. I want to believe we as people arent this stupid, i really do.

WE DON'T NEED MORE STUMP SPEECHES….
WE NEED MORE ONE on ONE INTERVIEWS…
The real issue to me is just getting an idea of WHO she REALLY IS??
The only way to find out what she really knows, and really thinks is by more one on one interviews. There needs to be at least 6 more in the next 3 to 4 weeks. Anything less and America is taking a HUGE RISK!!
This isn't a case of sexism or ageism.
The facts are this: Sen. Mccain is 72, at 72 unexpected shifts in health ARE NOT unusual. Governor Palin is VERY NEW to a majority of Americans and it is only RIGHT that we get to hear her position in her own words on the MANY challenges currently facing our nation..
More interviews are RIGHT thing to Demand…DO NOT LET UP!!!

McCain/Palin: So fake and full of lies

WAKE UP AMERICA! McCAIN IS ONLY TRYING TO COMPLETE HIS BUCKLET LIST AT OUR EXPENSE!

Her exaggerated record is now coming out.

But, what Americans must wake up and realize is that Sarah Palin is an incredibly IRRESPONSIBLE and possibly DANGEROUS choice for the VP position.

Why on earth would a war-hero like McCain choose a complete neophyte as his replacement should he not make it through his term?
It's shocking that this supposed patriot (McCain) has such little concern for his nation that he would put his Presidential ambitions above our safety and security.

He chose her because he thought she could help him win. Maybe he forgot that if he chose her, she would actually take on the second highest position in our land. I doubt McCain has given a lot of thought to what will happen once the election is over.

CNN is worser than FOX— They claim to be fair and balance, well neither is CNN.

Now Post this

Dear Friends:
Twicked is that all she can do? Plagerism!
Is a crime. She cannot handle it. McCain get another VP so AMericans can vote.

Obama is running against McCain not Palen, let Palen debate Biden, the media needs to concentrate on economy, energy, not a bridge to nowhere, I am a woman and Palen is not Clinton, I don't want to tote a gun and kill a Moose, and I support the Troops but let get back to polticts who can lead this country, and Palen is just a poltical woman and she is not the President and if the Republicans won, would this woman be capable of being our President?

I saw through her the first time she was on tv……now she is caught in all these lies and scandals…I am almost positive McCain was told who to pick…both McCain and Palin are puppets of the Republican party! I am scared of what could happen with these two in office. Vote Obama!!!!!!!!

You left-wing liberal nuts are hysterical. It is amusing watching you all (which includes Obama and Biden) self-destruct at the hands of a good-looking, self-made, political powerhouse named Palin. Despite Obama's liberal education he comes off as a stammering idiot when he cannot read off of a teleprompter and furthermore McCain proved his intelligence with the Palin pick. Everytime you lunatics open your mouth it wins over more votes for the Republicans. Your egotistical mindset which tells you that you are smarter and the rest of the country will follow your lead if only you tell them too is ridiculous. In fact you are the ones that are ignorant to the "real world" who sees Palin as one of us.

Please keep talking and in the meantime McCain/Palin will keep getting votes.

She is an unscrupulous liar. Even after several news network including CNN have confirmed that this woman was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. She is still using her lies on the campaign trail.
Please, can somebody call it what it is. She is a disgrace to the american values.
Moose hunter chasing innocent wolves on airplane. God help us if she ever gets to power. How many american will value that kind of cruelty.

To: Sun-angel September 14th, 2008 11:43 am ET
Alaska people has no other option than support her because if they don't her sect will go after them and reprisal will be taken against them..

………………….another LIE she is telling, the media interviewed several of her friends and they said they are not committed to VOTING for her, and they are NOT if she doesn't give REAL interviews showing her tell the truth on what she believe in and what kind of changes she will make. It was noted that changes she claimed to have made in Alaska ONLY suited her and those who received money FROM Oil Company's (her husband is a exc. and knew how to work it on the inside or should it be, how to get away with working it?).

Of course we all are aware of the Palin's/McCain's lies, but are we insensitive to the fact that the economy is fundamentally unsound, that our health care system needs to be fixed, that we need to pull out of Iraq so that Part of that monthly 10Billion dollars can be used to fix our education system, that we need to breath in clean air, that we need safer and clean energy, that we need to bring some of our jobs back to America? Well, I hate when people blame Policians for not telling the truth because this time, the truth is very glaring. Please, do not allow America to sink lower than this, McCain loves this country but he can wait for another eight years.

As a very serious and concern voter. I take pride in research, listening, evaluate precisely all candidates and where they stand on the issues concerning the everyday citizens.

I truly believe the separation of Church, Temple, Mosque, and State are two separate entity. What we bring in ourselves should be the ability to see all people as equals.

But, when one restricts an individual positive life to conform with ones own beliefs, then that person is a DICTATOR!

As a female I am also more questionable about an unknown female
and their credentials! Therefore, I research, listen and evaluate, not only the words but the person themselves. I have taken the male candidates on an even harder evaluation!

Therefore, just because Sarah Palin or Senator Clinton was running as a candidate, doesn't mean I would vote for them unless they showed their REAL COLORS!

He who runs the most dishonorable campaign will run the most dishonorable government if elected. Just a reflection of campaign 2000 and 2004!
Good luck America!

OOOOOh Sarah, fight, fight for us, fight for the Lord our saviour, the Tribulation is almost over, you MUST enter the White House and help us prepare!

The LORD is coming, repent!

OOOh sweet, sweet RAPTURE>>>> !!!1!

Good for Her…

She learned that from Obama.

Obama never flip-flops… he just refines his positions and clarifies them into a new meaning as needed.

Sarah Palin is obviously a quick study. In two weeks she will erase Obama's 2 year staged production.

Gov. Palin to Congress: "Thanks but not thanks on that bridge to nowhere. If Alaskans wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves."

AMERICANS TO OBAMA: "THANKS BUT NO THANKS ON THAT SPEECH TO NOWHERE. IF AMERICANS WANTED A SPEECH, WE'D WRITE IT OURSELVES."

I want to know the God the Republicans and the other born agains are talking about. I am a spiritual, praying person. My God seems to be gentle, kind, non-judgemental, fair minded, and truthful. So there must be different Gods then!

I hope she goes to the view and answer so straight talk questions.She claims reform who will she be reforming?Mccain?I guess so ….Mccain will use women for his own political goal.That is a disgrace to all women.Palin needs to give back the money she took from earmarks to charity and stop talking about a bridge to no where when her state is still taking the money,something she actually supported.The republicants are sick of oil and that,s why the picked sarah to drill.But tell me how can we keep on drilling wiith all all this Horricanes and stums.One day we will have everthing distroyed.Alternatives is the best method.That,s why Obama/Biden all the way.Mccain and Palin are a bunch of liers……..She was not even in Iraq bow bow bow…Foreing policy.Shame on you Sarah.

OBAMA'S FOLLOWERS THINK IF THEY SAY SOMETHING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IT WILL MAKE IT TRUE. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN THAT. MCCAIN AND PALIN HAVE RECORDS TO BACK WHAT THEY SAY, OBAMA ONLY HAS SPEECHES. HE IS THE ONE TRYING TO TWIST THE TRUTH.

Tweaking the stump speech for a particular audience is to be expected. what i want to know do any of the versions cantain any truth?

What politician doesn't tweak a speech depending upon the audiance? Obama has made an art of it. For instance, talking like one of the folks in Pennsylvania and then turning around and deriding those same people as crazed people clinging to their guns and religion when he's in front of the Left coast crowd.
Oh yeah, Obamites: you might want to actually check your talking points from the Obama/Gerbles propoganda machine. Palin was never a member of the Independant party, never banned books, and didn't pose in a bikini with a gun. What a bunch of gullable yutzes you are.

I'm so disappointed in McCain. This woman is a fraud. An absolutely frightening fraud.

PLEASE NOTE!!!

The changes in Palin's stumps speeches are not modifications, but omissions of those lines that have been proven inacurate or are controversial based on location.

It's no longer what she's saying, but what she is NOT SAYING that shows her true message.

McCain has proven that, as Obama said, he will lose his integrity to win an election. As recently as 4 years ago, the man had at least a microcosm of honor. It’s gone now; the man has sold his soul to the devil, in the person of Karl Rove, in order to secure the Presidency. We can not allow the Republicans to win this race on lies and deceit. If they win on issues, that’s one thing. The problem is that they cannot win on the issues, hence the lies, smears and misrepresentations.

So Palin 'tweaks' her speeches depending on her audience. Gee, I would say that makes her just like every other candidate who has run for political office. Is that the best her opponents can do in their efforts to destroy her credibility?
I'm still waiting to here how Obama is going to 'change' anything. In four years as a US Senator he has accomplished next to nothing. The American public has become little more than brainless sheep willing to follow anyone with a catchy phrase. McCain is no box of chocolates but at least he has a list of accomplishments. Where is yours Obama…other than writing books to fatten your wallet.
What a woeful election this is going to be.

I have been a republican all my life!

This year i will vote for Barack and Joe! In this country, its clear to see that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.. Unfortunately, the republican party are responsible for this! Its a pitty all Americans cant see how much of mistake it would be to vote McCain this year

Sarah Palin is a liar, just like McCain, Bush, Cheney, and the rest of the Republicans. The McCain Campaign do not want anyone to point out the many lies that Sarah Palin has told, therefore they start by accusing the Democrats of sexism, bullying and being disrespectful. This is their way of trying to keep the Democrats from confronting Sarah Palin's on the many lies she has told.

Sarah Palin's started the campaign attacking, but McCain Campaign do not want anyone to attack her lies, credibility or experience.

Now we have the same, Sarah Palin as mayor, took a town with a balance budget and left it with a $22 million deficit. Bush took a country with a money surplus and is leaving with a over $4 trillion deficit. Sarah Palin is against earmarks, but as mayor and governor, she has asked for more earmarks than any state. She campaigned for the bridge to nowhere, but when it became unpopular she did not want the bridge to nowhere, but She Kept The Money. Sarah Palin and her staff said that they would testify on the ethics charging, but now they must be subpoenaed.

Lies are what got us in this mess in this country. Therefore, we need to stand up and say No More Lies.

The World is watching and the U.S. is losing more and more credibility because the people of the U.S. are following the Liars, eventhough they know the truth. If the country continues to be governed by Liars, we will surrender our Powerhouse Status and become a 4th World Country, with no economic, military, domestic, nor world power. We will be the country that fell, because of ignorance and lies, since we will not seek knowledge, wisdom and the truth.

We have a cheerleader, beauty contestant and a POW who think by being a POW he is Entitled to the Presidency. Neither have an advance degree in anything. Both failed miserably in college. But, the people are willing to put their welfare in the undereducated and liars.

God Help Us, because we are going to need it.

I hope she adds a little substance about her policy positions to her stump speech… sometime before November.

I am afraid for women. I am afraid for hard working Americans. I am afraid for the hard fought gains made by African Americans discarded.
I am afraid,that after this election we would have lost all sense of morality,or decency! I am afraid of republican lies!

HMMMM. What do the oil companies think of Palin? She increased taxes on the oil companies in Alaska 300% which is the single reason she was able to have a surplus. She needs to be asked if she will increase the oil companies federal taxes and if not why the change of heart. McCain has been constantly saying no to a windfall profit tax on oil companies while Palin did exactly the opposite in Alaska by 300%. So why isn't anybody asking this question. McCain and Palin seem to be at big odds on this subject.

Why is she getting away with this. Are we so naive? Come on folks fact check on your own. This is OUR election Are we going to let this be stolen from us yet again by fear and lie?
Obama/Biden

Hey Chanel. You're spot on. Wolf's interview was shameful there. Pawlenty was completely avoiding the questions and Wolf just let his answers slide. Pathetic!

Are you just telling different people what they want to hear?

I find it ironic that Palin changes her speech in her own state, dropping the bridge to nowhere, when supposedly she is the most popular governor in the states,and that she has "reformed" the government. What a hypocrite. Obviously, she knows that she didn't kill the bridge, and her popularity is going down in her home state, so she doesn't use her "thanks, but no thanks" speech. I think the more info that comes out about Palin, that she won't be the "change, reformer" that she has been touted as. Sure sounds like she is reverting more and more to the republican talking points, not on her own platform.

Shame on CNN

How can she tweak her speeches? She only seems to know how to parrot the same old lies, rhetoric and manure that Bush,Cheney, Rove, and McClone have been peddling for years. Not much new here…

The criticism doesn't matter, McCain/ Palin are stilling leading in most of the polls and on all the electoral maps. If things stay the way they are, she and McCain will win in November.

Joe Biden is over qualified to be President. He has been in the senate for 36 years. He has run for President twice, and wants to serve. His time has come. He and Jill have a model family for all of our young people to see.

Hmm, so, Miss Palin, when will you tell "the truth, and nothing but the truth"?

Thanks Chanel for saying that, and I couldn't agree more. I love Barbara Walters because she is a great reporter, and asks the real questions that nobody else dares to. Most people I know, could care less about the mud slinging (and are smart enough to see what the Republicans are doing too), and want answers from McCain..not Palin on why we should elect him on the ISSUES.

I already know enough about him, that there is no way I would EVER vote for him, but he still should focus on the ISSUES and stop distracting Americans away from the real questions. I know there are a lot of McCain supporters that would not agree with me, but I think they need to start researching him and Palin on their own, instead of listening and believing what the media says.

Like, his temper and his military record, name calling his wife in public, shoving a POW mom in a wheelchair, how he interacts with fellow senators and how it is his way or no way. I don't think these qualities respect others and show leadership abilities. I want someone whom I can respect, lead, and follow.

My Bombshelter is almost done.

It is about time that americans will realize how fake and liar palin is,she can't even learn to lie smart.She is abig liar and time is coming that she will be brought to the open when all her scandals are revealed.
liar,
obama/biden-08

Thanks but no thanks to the VP from nowhere …

I think the press should lay off Mrs. Palin, she is just a hockey mom….wait, shes running to be vice president? Are you serious? She doesnt know anything!

If Sarah Palin is so contemptuous of the press that she refuses to say anything that isn't scripted, then why doesn't the press blow her off as well? She's only a "phenomenon" because the media makes her so. C'mon, fourth estate, show so some integrity!

About Sarah Palin: It seems families are not important to her, who takes care of her children while she campaigns with her husband at her side? she would probably be happy if they all get deployed to Irak.

And has she ever travelled outside the US? Does she know how the world looks outside AlasKa? Is she aware of diffetrent cultures, ways of living and values?
Just wondering…

The Republican lied to us to start a war in Iraq for no reason, and you want to reward them with four more years?

This McCain/Palin duo is one great "piece of work". Tell them what they want to hear, keep saying it until they believe it themselves. Give the country no credit for being smart enough to see thru it. Don't talk nuclear in Nevada…Nevada do you get it? Don't talk about the bridge in Alaska…Alaska did that fool you? Earmarks…Their bad one day, but good if in the light…does that mean good when the day light is longer in Alaska but not when darker? How about immigration, McCain turned coward when his presidential aspirations made him "change". They are for change alright, change the story to make it work for you…change we can trust? I'm from Arizona, McCain does absolutely nothing for us…Country First, Arizona Last. Thanks McCain for respresenting us….can you get us some money to pay for the cost of treating illegals dying in our desert? Can you help us Mr. McCain? Where are you? You don't report for votes, you certainly don't get us needed federal funding for anything…thanks but no thanks. This is a pair that will do anything to get elected…wake up America. If you like Bush, you'll love McCain…what maverick? How about all the good stuff he does for veterans…another joke…the joke is on us. This guy just wants to live in the White House, he needs another home I hear. McCain is so pathetic he needs Sarah to get a crowd and now we know why they don't want the press to interview Sarah don't we!

Well, Well, Well,

it was not as easy as the "Media and Democrat Leadership," planned it would, now they are trying to tear down another person's reputation to prop Sen. Obama up again.

The difference is people are paying attention now, after the Hillary fiasco.

This is not child's play and no one can tell or make another person do what they want.

I make my decision and my vote, and the nontelling truth media corp will not make that decision for me.

I agree with chanel. The View seems to be the only media outlet that was courageous enough to call them out on their lies. Maybe "The View" will give the other outlets a different and better "view" of reporting and helping Americans to disseminate the truth about this candidate. Like I said before, Obama was vetted strongly by the American people and the media. They know him as if they birthed him. Palin, on the other hand, is unknown by the American people. It is the media's job to inform the American citizens about who she really is. If they do not inform us, then how are we suppose to make an educated decision come Nov. 4. Cnn, don't be afraid to go after this woman! This is not about being a sexist, and don't allow this campaign to deflect you guys from wants important to American people. Now look at what's happening, lies and more lies are coming out about this campaign. Lies that she repeated out on the stump. Lies about her foreign travel and a host of other things. I guess now you guys realize that all that "glitter is not gold."

I for one wish that Mr McBush would pull the Straight Talk Express bus out of mothballs and get it back on the road. This is getting ridiculous!!!

**
She is a skilled politician…

Sarah Palin is being worked as a puppet for the McPOW campaign..
Next week she will be with John McLies BECAUSE…. she draws bigger crowds than the HEAD of the TICKET..

The hype of Sarah is OVER… She is a joke to democratic women's issues concerns…. & Sarah PALIN LIES to the American people…..!!

JOHN mcCAIN LIES…and runs a DISrespectful…..

Do we want 4 more years of LIARS…..

NO…. NO MORE LIEs……

********************

vote for change… Obama/Biden…2008, 2012..

This womain is a lying wacko. What does that say about John McCain?

Registered republican voting for Obama/Biden 08

She does indeeed pander to the particular crowd. A McBush trait.
This morning Newt Gingerich attacked the media saying that by questioning Palin religious background, the media were attacking Christians. Not true. I am a Christian from a Pentacostal Church. When A person may become the leader of the free world. And they come from a Church that Preaches that critics of Bush are going to Hell.
Jews are the cause of Terrorism. The Iraq war is God's plan. And the world will soon be destroyed but God will spare Alaska as a Divine refuge for Real Christians. These are world views that the public has a right to know. And, did I hear Newt defending Obama when he was being castigated by the Republicans for having a controversial Pastor?
Didn't think so. Hipocrites !

She can tweak it all she wants, and put lipstick on it too, but the fact still remains she's a fraud and a liar I get the feeling she just can not stop lying.

Obama/Biden 08

Sarah Palin will do or say anything to get elected. Say, lies..Do, ditch family to campaign. I am a woman who is highly annoyed with the fact she so easily made the choice to run at this time in her life. Yes, women are fully capable of being VP. But, there is a time when the decisions we make to have a family should come first. Hillary didn't make the choice to run for high office when she had a young child by the way.

Female voter

Modifying your speech for the audience is a standard practice on the campaign trail. What's your point? Why are you picking on Sarah?

The economy is getting worse. Las Vegas is about to close down. God is sending hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, train wrecks, earthquakes to punish the city of Sodom and Gomorah for the Republican lies that tore up the city of Iraq. Now, we are getting torn up. No Way, No How, No McCain.

Sarah Palin recites a speech very well. The American people need to know more about this politician. The time is now for due diligence.

This woman scares me. But the people salivating over the opportunity to vote for an abrasive, argumentative, gun-toting, flip-flopping, lying through her teeth wacko scare me even more.

Believe me when I say, the republican party is not stupid and if they win Palin will not be able to make another speech and they will shut her down. She is just a poster child for them and she is enjoying the ride. What a disgrace to all the true intelligent woman who sit in position of status. How in the World was this chick voted into anything.

The leaders of China,Russia,Venezuela etc must be sitting back and getting a real laugh at our campaign for selecting our President. With all the horrors, hunger,wars,job losses (I can go on and on) in this world, the McCain camp chooses to talk about "lipstick on a pig". I can also see them discussing how the women of this country will pick a leader simply because she is a woman. Well, not this woman. I have more brains than that and I should think all other women in this country would consider more than just her gender. I would love nothing more than to have a woman President or Vice President, but it has to be the right woman and she has to be selected for the right reasons. This is not the right woman and she was definately not selected to run with McCain for the right reasons. We no longer have the respect of other countries due to the Bush years, now we are the laughing stock of other countries as well. Where in the name of God have these politicians taken this country????

Each candidate should have to swear " I promise to tell the truth, THE WHOLE TRUTH" Are the American people really looking at both parties and seeing what is being said? I have heard news agencies say they use TRUTH.ORG to get the "real" answers. Also at what point did it become acceptable to use a "HALF TRUTH"? Sad.. It is just all so sad….

Thank you Lord, thank you she stop saying "thanks, but no thanks!" The world is sick and tired of heairng this lady saying the same lines OVER and OVER again.

Start comparing this woman with the greatest women leaders in the world……she can not stand next to them. She's so childish, she's only glitter and glamour….thinks running for vice president is a beauty contest……..What ever people say about her…..the sexist card is being use. While she YES, is entitled to mock everybody……Who does she tink she is. When she opens her mount you don't hear or notice no intellectually signs coming out her mounth, sorry!Screaming, yelling some rehearsal lines like she is competing in a beauty contest. No substance is comming out her mounth….. and just repeating what she is being told . You can hear it from her speeches because she keeps repeating them over and over again because she can't say anything else.

Alaska people has no other option than support her because if they don't her sect will go after them and reprisal will be taken against them. And this same style McCain campaign want to enfource on the American people. Fear factor!!!

Every time someone says something about her, the "Sexist, disrespectful, protect her reputation" card is being use. Hey , this is a political battlefield. If she can take it, send her back home with her 5 children. She wants to be tough? She wants to be use by McCain? Be real!!

When she has to negotiate with Putin or Osama Binladen, when they kind start attacking her, are they going to use the sexist and pityful ads too? Be real people!

Some applauded her because she said during her interview she didn't hestitate when Mccain had asked her to run with him as vice president. Well sorry……. such a big decision?! Every responsible person, manager, leader will or should analyse and think first about this before taking any step. Like that she is going to react when it come to foreign policy, don't hestitate, lets go to War??? Narrow minded!

You can see that the American people starts to think clearly again. The polls are showing this. God! spare the world of the McCain/Palin ticket, it will be back again in the 19 centuries..WAR WAR WAR WAR, curfew, curfew. People dying every where and Mother like me putting their sons to die in War for McCain/ Palin sake!!

Poor getting poorer
Rich getting richer

God, do not only spare the American nation but spare the whole world from this War mongers and crazy people! McCain & Palin

How do you tweak lies?
Thanks but no thanks- I'll stick with Obama Biden 08!

Have we all gone mad? You cannot even compare the brilliance of Obama with her!!! Yes, there were other presidents who had limited experience like Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln… but the difference is that they along with Obama were brilliant leaders who represented all of the people! You could see that even with the prepping for her interview with Charles Gibson, she sounded like she was interviewing for a beauty contest. We complain and scream bloody murder about Bush's tactics, but then replace another set just like the one that is in now. McCain turned out to be an immoral, out of touch with people's problems, very old candidate who has no honor or shame in how he is running his campaign. If you cannot see that he is NOT talking about the issues but is smearing lies, then we are in serious trouble!

And this is CHANGE?! No, I'll tell you what this is, it's DECEIT. Don't be fooled Americans, vote for change you can believe in!!!

Time to rework those lies for a new crowd, ehh Sarah?

She was for the bridge until it was killed, at which point she no longer supported a dead project, but just kept the funding. She and McCain attack earmarks, but the earmarks she has requested as governor are "different" than those requested by other states. Every state thinks its earmarks are legitimate. Earmarks are a pittance of the federal budget. If this is the only way they will bring about "change" that is a real joke.

She can't speak intelligently about any issues facing the country–McCain isn't much better. I fear that McCain-Palin will be even worse for the country than Bush-Cheney have been.

Amazing! She's hiding their plan from the people in Nevada to trick them to vote for her. And not saying something in Alaska because Alaskans KNOW it's not true. Got to give her credit. She's a gifted liar.

Don't fall for it again, people. We can't afford four more years of this.

Repeating her stump speech is not the problem. All of them do that. Repeating the lies is. STOP the LIES.
Vote Obama/Biden!!!!!!

To Tim,
How is she a role model and a uniter? Who has she united? The people in Wasilla? What has she done to prepare her for this position? Lies about her role as the objector for the "Bridge to Nowhere?" Trooper Gate?
Hiring a lobbyist for $$$ for pet projects in Alaska. The torturing of animals in Alaska. Some role model!!! Going to 5 colleges to get a degree should wave a red flag. Hockey moms are not qualified for the highest office in the land. We would be the laughing stock in the world!!

What ! $68,000 as mayor of a town of less than 7000. What a job – here can I sign up ? Perhaps this fact should be in the public view !!!!

I FIND it very insulting that both McCain and Paliin would even suggest the American people are buying into this whole BS yet again.

I mean we ALL know what "tweaking" means. It simply means "we're going to revamp the old LIES into NEW LIES" so that we can play the American voters as STUPID all over again!!

I mean it's really astonishing that both John McCain and Sarah Palin seem to be hell bent on disgracing this country that we LOVE AND HONOR with these type of SLEAZY and CORRUPT gutter tactics.

I mean WHERE are their solutions facing millions of families in this country/ WHAT happen to "Country First"?

It appears that VOTERS are starting to see the TRUE COLORS of the McCain-Palin camp. The more they spew lies after lies and NO answers to healthcare, mortgage crisis, employment decline, GAS prices and on HOW to end the IRAQ WAR!!!

ALL John McCain and Sarah Palin seem to talk about is SENDING US INTO ANOTHER WAR WITH EITHER PAKISTAN OR RUSSIA or BOTH!!! They SCARE the living B-Jesus out of me and my whole family. A bunch of Presidential terrorists, is what these two fools are!! They want to HOLD THE AMERICAN VOTERS HOSTAGE like a bunch of "cattle with NO brains" with their LIES AND SLEAZY DISTORTIONS!!

If you Republicans are truly this STUPID in buying John and Sarah's BRIDGE TO NOWHERE, then may God have mercy on your soul, because in 4 years, you'll be sitting right here in this very same blog doing nothing but COMPLAINING and BLAMING everyone else but YOUR IGNORANT SELVES!!!

By the way,, Greenspan said earlier that McCain's tax breaks will NOT work..just work for the elite!

The republicans kept her under lockdown prepping her for time when she has to answer the press and stand alone. Her answers with Charles Gibson were just not good enough and there are (or should) be more interviews ahead. The bubble is about to burst.

If the republicans keep denying access to her it reinforces the point that she's not ready. This party will lie, cheat and cry to get elected. They will do everything except defend their record and talk about what they plan to do to improve this country. McCain can't even draw a crowd on his own and he's the top of the ticket so he needs an unknown to speak his words and bring in some people. How pathetic is that? This Palin/McCain ticket is a joke.

Go Obama/Biden.

Her "experience" and leadership as the mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska are terrifying. I read the article on MSNBC.com that details her administration's nepotism and secrecy. It's like a more extreme version of Bush/Cheney. I sincerely hope people will wake up to what she really is and what the Republicans are using her for. This woman has a good chance of becoming president and people need to think about what that really means.

Bibek, you don't have to necessarily turn Democrat. Honey, I'm a black Republican who refuses to put the likes of McCain in the White House. Here's my problem, he wasn't good enough for us in 2004, now he's our savior in 2008. Has the Republican Party sold out like that? Please, you and I can continue to stand for the principles that once made our party great by refusing to vote for just anything.

Obama/Biden O'my

it's shows she has nothing else to talk about. She's nothing but a liar. Go back home to your igloo and your eskimo husband.

Conservative Christians in America that think they HAVE to vote Republican….. read your bible…if you truly think that lying is okay…. go ahead and vote McLie /Palin…. if you listen to your beliefs and your heart…. vote accordingly…. P.S. You don't have to tell anyone who you voted for! Come on Cnn…why won't you print this???

Can't believe that Palin is still sticking with voting against the bridge to nowhere…she has already been debunked by all except for McCain himself!! SHE was for it until Congress decided to let it die..but she took the money! She is insulting our intelligence!

I believe everyone here wants to know ALL the truth..not just bits

So here are a few questions Ms Palin before the election:

1. Since you were pregnant and you started to leak fluid, during a
speech in Texas, you chose to finish your speech and then fly for
11 hours back to Alaska. And then drive for 45 minutes to a hospital
in a small town to have a baby with health problems.

How so?…you would think that you would want the best care possible
for yourself and the baby at a large city to handle your needs.

2. I read in your newspaper that you gave birth to a 6lb 2oz baby boy.
Which you have told us that he was born 4 weeks premature.

Does a premature baby not weigh less if premature?..just asking.
Did you transport yourself and baby to a neo-natal unit because he was premature?..No because you were back to work 3 days after giving birth. THAT'S ODD

3.Why are all the family pictures taken off the govt and other websites?

Are there things there you don't want us to see?…Too late we've already seen them.

4. It's odd that the only baby's parents name that was born in the hospital on that day was definitely NOT Palin. Newspapers are printed

Looks like the MSM hasn't the gazoo's to check on these questions because the Repub will call it "sexist"

HERE'S MY TAKE ON IT….

You got a phone call when in Texas that Bristol was going into labor, so you booted it for home to make a good coverup.

Either there are going to be a lot of people perjure themselves, either way you and McWar are in a whole pile of hurt.

WAIT FOR IT…..NATIONAL ENQUIRE IS DOING MSM'S HOMEWORK

I do not believe anything that comes out of this woman's mouth. She is not to be trusted.

Will this country ever be the same? We will be deeply divided no matter who wins.

Re Sarah Palin: Thanks, but no thanks.

she and her husband are part of the alaska independence party… the party that wants alaska to break away from the united states… to quote the party leader. he said the fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the american government…… her thought on that was " keep up the good work".

palin whatever her name you are a cocky lying woman come out and face the media stop lying to us , you lie about the bridge , you lie about pork barrell money , you lie about trooper gate woman when republican hungry for power they lie about everything tell the american people the truth

Tim

Stop looking at her body and looks.

David,
There is no lies in your post.Obama will lower taxes for 95 % of Americans and that is an independant fact that cannot be changed by McCain /Palin.Obama has been consistant on that from day one.As any good leader would do he may even take his tax cut further since the economy is getting worse by the day.He has the intellegence to see that the people making more then $250,000 are in need of a tax break too so he is willing to look at all Americans, which is what a good President should do.This against McCains tax break ONLY for the rich tells you who is concerned about EVERY American not just the rich.Look up Obamas tax plan and research the independant breakdowns and decide for yourself.You choose a President who wants to only help the rich and you can choose one that will help EVERY American.Pretty simple and truthful !!

Palin talks reform and anti-good 0ld boys network and then as Governor she fires the competent people who she fears will not be loyal and just like Bush hires incompetent directors at high salaries from her stock of high school friends. Cronyism… that is Sarah Palin's record. (Remember Bush's Brownie and FEMA and all those cronies in Iraq that just sat on their hands and gave out suitcases of cash?) If we want someone like Bush in the White House, then McCain/Palin is the pick. McCain has shredded his maverick image, bringing in all the Bush boys to run his campaign, which is why McCain is lying through his teeth. No more Straight Talk Express.

The media continues to nit pick Sarah Palins for obvious political gain. I ask you, why did you not give Obama the same scrutiny over Wright, Ayers, cutting the military remarks, voting present,…..etc….etc….etc……Major double standards LIBERAL MEDIA!

Typical of a GOP candidate to change wording for speeches depending on the venue. This woman is so transparent! I just hope that voters this year have gained a few more brain cells than in the last 2 elections so we have a President and V.P. with I.Q.'s over 60 at the helm, not to mention the administration chosen. For those of you who think that Governor Palin is a maverick or some goddess, you are so shallow. This woman was instrumental in enacting the aerial shooting of wolves in Alaska, which is enough to make me despise her, let alone the recklessness of her preaching abstinence to her teens. We know how well that worked. What a buffoon! She is not a maverick by any means. Palin can crank out a good speech, but then, it's pretty easy to read a teleprompter in front of a big audience! DUH! That's a no-brainer.

The American people are willing to allow a woman who went to 5 different colleges before graduating, mayor of a town bigger than some shopping malls, governor of a state whose population is the size of Charlotte, NC, the next VP or president of these United States. Have we all gone mad? You cannot even compare the brilliance of Obama with her!!! Yes, there were other presidents who had limited experience like Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln… but the difference is that they along with Obama were brilliant leaders who represented all of the people! You could see that even with the prepping for her interview with Charles Gibson, she sounded like she was interviewing for a beauty contest. We complain and scream bloody murder about Bush's tactics, but then replace another set just like the one that is in now. McCain turned out to be an immoral, out of touch with people's problems, very old candidate who has no honor or shame in how he is running his campaign. If you cannot see that he is NOT talking about the issues but is smearing lies, then we are in serious trouble!

Denise you're absolutely right.

Well for Alaskans, they KNOW what she did like that bridge to nowhere.. I will say she sure can lie to american people at ease at thats scary and wrong on so many levels. Lying is against the Ten commandments / Bible and God doesnt like that. Coming from religious folks is hypocritical and I don't want another liar in the whitehouse. If they are lying now about a bridge I wonder how many other lies regarding policy and what they plan to do are they just spouting off… I cant afford four more years and would never vote for liars..

Obama/Biden 08

Ironically, Palin is true to the lyrics of her campaign song, which by the way Heart has asked the campaign not to use because Palin's views do not reflect those of the majority of women in this country, however, "if the real thing don't do the trick, you've got to make up something quick…" This is exactly what the McCain/Palin ticket is doing: making up whatever needs to be created to suck in the mindless. Palin is against earmarks, but Alaska has requested earmarks per capita than any other state in the union. She for abstinence only before marriage, yet she has failed to encourage her daughter to follow this tenet. She lied about selling the governor's jet on ebay. She doesn't know jack about foreign policy: my 25 year old daughter knows more. Plus, what would happen if Palin becomes pregnant while in office? Has anyone ever considered this? Start thinking or we're in a world of _hit!

Check out the recent move made by Russia and Venezuela…WAKE UP!!!

Wolf Blitzer let mccain off the hook a few months ago, right after Iraqi president al-Maliki said, on video, that he favored a 16-month timetable for our troop withdrawal. When Blitzer asked mccain about it, his response was, "He wouldn't say that." Blitzer never followed up with, "Yes, he did."
Too many years of sucking up to mccain has rendered the media almost useless in questioning his statements and motives. They played the rev. Wright story for weeks on end, but give scant time to all of mccain's flips on the tax cuts, off-shore drilling, torture, his lies and distortions of Sen. Obama's record and policies, his faux pious sincerity after his dishonorable statements questioning Obama's patriotism. Are the media afraid of the righties calling them liberal or will they actually do their jobs?

The View is the only place to that is not afraid to ask the right questions. Wake up America. I am sick of McSame. It's time for CHANGE

Sarah is studying the Karl Rove Play book and trying to fool the American People…..She already knows how to Lie

That's great so she alters her speeches to say what the people want to hear. WAKE UP PEOPLE mccain/palin IS MORE OF THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!

the only thing going against obama during this election is that he is black; otherwise, McCain could choose Ronald Regan as a VP if he were alive and it wouldn't make a difference. What's making this an interesting race is nothing but that, race. Palin is just window dressing.

I have read all the facts about her so I don't need to listen to her or hear what she has to say but will she ever quit waiving like a beauty queen?

Aaah… following the fine tradition of Bush-Cheney of lies to fool the American people … with the same potentially disastrous and catastrophic consequences.

Sarah Palin is the Millie/Venilli of politics….she is lip sinking to a tired OLD Bush record and she is stating to skip…NV you better bet that they want to use Nuclear and store all the waist in your back yards.
what kills me is that their lies and convenient omissions are so obvious yet people are falling for this toxic McCain campaign…

not this thime…

Obama/Biden 08

we know wolf and lou dobbs are the same look when they interview republican and democrats wolf lou we see you lou says he independent but he republican he behave as if he give a fear view of both candidate but watch his view

Theresa W.,

Palin isn't the one who will be exiting the stage, McCain is.

The neoconservatives are using McCain to get Palin elected. Palin is on her Blind Ambition Tour, and she is more than willing to be putty and puppet in the neoconservative's hands.

The neoconservatives are not willing to cede the power they've gained under Bush/Cheney to anyone, including McCain. They will stop at nothing – NOTHING – to keep and expand their power.

I never believe anything the republicans say. They lie every 4 years to win the election. And this year is no exception.

So sick of it. SICK.

Republican WOMAN turned independent turned Democrat.

I, for one, and tired of hearing about Palin! The Republicans have a short lease on her anyway, she is being told what to say and when to say it by Bush/McCain clan. Everything has to be approved by them. The question should be why is this so? Why does she stump speech and not interact with the voters? My guess, is that she is being used and knows it because it will further her goal for more power. Power can be used two ways…for good or for evil. I think the latter applies to the McCain team.

Is Palin going to put Air Force One on e-bay if she wins ?

She's a nasty, lying, ignorant disgrace. I can't wait until after the election when she is forced to return to the rock she crawled out from under.

Christians in America that think they HAVE to vote Republican….. read your bible…if you truly think that lying is okay…. go ahead and vote McLie /Palin…. if you listen to your beliefs and your heart…. vote accordingly…. P.S. You don't have to tell anyone who you voted for!

@chanel

I'm wondering the same thing. Why can't the media do their jobs?? They have an obligation to tell the American public the TRUTH. And they continue to let everyone avoid answering the hard hitting questions, it's enough to make you wanna pull your hair out.

Funny how Gov. Palin made points in some of her stump speeches that Sen. Obama told people of Penn. one thing and then when he leaves their presence he talks about them clinging to guns and religion. Sounds like she is doing exactly what she accuses the opposition of doing. Talking about specific issues around the country and then when she gets into Nevade…she just cannot bring herself to say the same things (Nuclear Energy). Why does she not mention the "thanks, but no thanks" line in Alaska…..because she is being a hypocrit. Plain and simple….she and McKain are no better than they accuse their opposition of being…..they just do not care about anything but getting elected….Americans, I hope, are not stupid enough to fall for this bologna.

I have always voted Republican and was going to vote McCAin, but do they really think we are this stupid? Palin has no experience and is not putting her family first and lies or stretches the truth ever chance she can. Obama is getting my vote because of the Palin choice.

Sarah Palen is an impressive woman. But I don't understand why any Hillary Clinton supporter would support her. Personally, her politics will set my values back prior to the seventies.
Obama/Biden08

Why is it some of these egomaniacs such as Sarah ,have as liars ,absolutly no remorse.Are so ambitious back stabbing added to the list doesn,t bother them at all. This is a certain breed and there are many not so nice names describing them. Her vanity is dangerous. Her morals are a joke .Blow things out one side of your mouth but whatever you like for yourself should be a whole different matter. She is SCAREY

It is quite strange that America can easily be take on a ride like this. Mr. McCain is clearly out to win this election at all cost even if it means selecting an inexperienced person whom even though she claims to be a reformer, all she has been is opposite of what she preaches; a cheap politician who uses her influence to punish those not in line with her, one who inflates her foreign police credential by even lying she’s been to Iraq when in fact hasn’t, one who opposes sex education for teens which could have helped her own daughter if she was taught about condoms, sex education which could have helped thousands of young Americas who are continuously contracting STDs and HIV AIDS and unwanted pregnancies because they luck knowledge, one who with Mr. McCain lies about Obama that he has pushed for sex education to kids in necessary schools, one who doesn’t understand that Americas security depends in most at its ability understand other cultures, deal with the real sources of terror and discontent which is poverty and inequality in the way wealth is distributed by Americans own international companies.
It is very unfortunate that Americans can even render an eye to these two liars, wake up people and look beyond that deceivingly beautiful face, there are evil intentions beyond that, to deny you real prosperity, admiration and a real leader for America and the rest of the world in the name of OBAMA.

This woman is a great role model for all Americans. She is a uniter.
She could make a great Vice President.

mccain we know you are a big lyer trying to fool the people only for political reasons if you love this country mccain let palin face the mediaso we can know what she about not no stump speech telling lie with the same thing my my america wake up they using polin only to win the election i can see it cant we all see it pretty looks / great speech cant buy gas it cant pay rent it cant send your kids to school substance we want

WoWWW!!! I hope she goes on The View and gets her a$$ handed to her like McCaint did. I bet he thought they were going to aks him him what his favorate color is and the such…. Yeah Sarah , you need to modify your whole speech …this ONE that someone else wrote for you is getting old…..Hey try writing one yourself…..

We are tired of these open lies. Palin can do good by going back to school to acquire more knowledge and be ready to lead. There is whole lot of crap being unearthed from her desks both as Mayor and Governor.She will lose this election and Governor as well.We need leaders with values and ethics. Mcain/Palin are liars just like Bush/Cheney. Bush/Mcain/Cheney lead to the Iraq death and Mcain/Palin will lead us to Russia.

As more REAL FACTS come out about Palin, the proof is evident that she is no "barracuda" but is a FISH OUT OF WATER. Pay attention to the facts and not the spin and the choice is clear.
Obama/Biden.

sen. obama has said that changing your position on something after getting informtion you didn't have before, is a sign of a good leader. does that only apply to him and not his opponents? you can't have it both ways

Thanks, but no thanks to the lady to nowhere!

After her interviews there is nothing to say about this woman. I just feel sorry for all the qualified republican female options, who paid their dues for this opportunity. Male dominance makes a joke out of women and certain women help them. Shame on you, Sarah Palin.

Is that not what all politicians do—including Obama. Does no one remember the difference in his public stance on NAFTA and his private talk with the Canadians. Of course you did not forget; you simply chose not to believe anything negative about your messiah.

Talk about negative ads containing lies—do you not remember Obama's ads about the 100-year war. That was certainly so misinterpreted that it was a lie. Yet, Obama fans fault McCain for misleading ads. Obama started the misleading ads—McCain followed his lead.

Lipstick on a pig—Obama has a way with words. The crowd understood exactly what he meant—hear them roar. He cannot claim innocence and expect fair-minded people to believe him. Just like he meant to brush Hillary off his shoulders and the finger motions—he was playing to the crowd and his avid fans—hear them roar. He will not convert other voters with this type of "lofty" rhetoric, no matter how much money he collects.

Please stop McCain / Palin / Rove / Scooter Libby from destroying Social Security !!

Please stop McCain / Palin / Rove from destroying Social Securiy !!

Sarah Palin has been proven, by the New York Times and a host of other reputable sources, to be a liar. It's not name-calling, it's the truth.

This isn't American Idol, folks. America has big problems on the domestic and international front.

Hmmm….What would be the more prudent, intelligent choice? A Harvard-educated president and a six-term Senator with a graduate school education?

Or an aging cancer survivor, trailing a mouthy, sarcastic liar with an undergrad journalism degree (and a frightening, uneducated far- right political agenda) waiting breathlessly to take his place?

America needs leaders. Sarah Palin is not a leader. John McCain has demonstrated, by his irresponsible choice, that he is not prepared to give this country the leadership it deserves and desperately needs.

I hope that whoever wins in November looks seriously at the issue of earmarks. Without question there are many projects that are funded by them that should be – but the idea that some states get 10 times per captia than ohers is grossly unfair. Alaska due to its size should perhaps have need in services dependent on geography – bu smaller states with large urban areas have their own special needs. To see such large funds go to Alaska – flush with petrol dollars is unreal. Perhaps earmarks should be funded thru a fomal and open process – perhaps a federal fund similar to FEMA. Perhaps a Federal Infrastructure Fund. Open and accountable to all … not hidden in bills.

Obama will continue to bash the party, this is politics as always. Change is more of the same old politics that has run Washington forever, there is no change only the same. Obama is part of the Washington group, just hiding under a label of change. It will not change, so suck it up Washington and put up with the same.

I believe we will all learn the truth about her very soon….

I can't imagine any American to be so irresponsible and frivolous
in this most serious of elections to vote for Palin/McCain. People
need to think about the future of our country. Aren't we in enough
debt, don't we have enough wars, aren't we divided enough? With
McCain/Palin it is not going to be four more years of Bush, it is
going to be a lot worse.
Think!

Is there a news outlet that I can go to that will give me facts? Wolf Blitzer is letting Tim Pawlenty skate around the questions….Is The View the only place willing to call people out on their lies? I mean really, The View???

my my my lie lie lie i wonder whats up with the media mccain palin getting away wih alot we on the outside just watching they slam obama with his pastor they slam him with everything and they media fox cnn just let this lady sliding with alot we all see whats going on media you all pretend as if you all want to interview this woman but still just let her slide you all could interview her but the media let mccain using this woman because we know why to win on election and not tackling her on issues that face us as a nation media e watching you all on your bias now close to the election but guess what you all going to be surprise of the result

Of course she won't respond to questions in a professional manner as she is not qualified for VP…
The McCain campaign keeps on focusing on Palin's almost non-existing record, throwing out distortions from left to right
Lots of nonsense coming from the GOP, whereas they should now be discussing about the economy.
Sick and tired of them, let's move on and vote Obama/Biden
Enough with the repubs

In all the hype over Governor Palin concerning energy production, whether it be nuclear, drilling, etc. There is no doubt that there needs to be something done about it, however, although this may not be the forum for this, I feel I need to address an issue that has been bothering me for some time. I am wondering how this so called Christian mother could even consider going back to work 3 days after giving birth to a child with Down Syndrome. That, to me, is not a mother that I would be impressed with. As a mother and a Christian, I find her to be a woman that has children and then leaves them for nannys, or whomever, to raise. This child has a handicap and it sickens me to know that this woman is in the running for the Vice Presidency. She has no right to speak about motherhood when it is obvious that she finds her "job" more important.

One more thing, she needs to stop referring to herself as being NOMINATED for the position of Vice President. She was not nominated, she was CHOSEN by Sen. Mc Cain. The "People" had nothing to do with it, in fact, the only people that really knew anything about her before she was chosen as a running mate, were the ones she governs in Alaska.

Ido not know why you people are going on and on about the bridge to nowhere. It has been explained that she did support the bridge in the first place but when it was clear that no funding was coming from the federal government , she decided that as a state, they could not afford to spend that sort of money on that project. This was a very prudent economic judgement. She should be praised for it and not riduculed

With Ms. Palin's most recent lie ( I visited our troops in Iraq….. No she was actually in Kuwait ) now being debunked by both the military And the McCain campaign, I can't help but wonder how many more of us are sick to death of the fabrications she puts forth in a blatant effort for self-aggrandisement. This girl is given to promoting herself at the cost of anything, especially the truth. She is too ambitious ( with far too little substance ) and much too full of herself for public office. Ms. Palin = SARAH FIRST.
Theresa W., I'm with you and your theory, But I think this country would be better served if she stepped down now. Before her husband has to answer his subpoena. There are just far too many unsavory details about the entire Palin family. It's certainly is time for a change, REAL change. Time for Obama/Biden.

This is just more of the same…telling people what we want them to hear rather than tell them the truth. We've been vicitimized by George Bush in this manner for the past 7+ years.

Purposely telling someone part of a truth is no different from telling them a lie.

PHONY!!!!!

Lies, lies, lies……..

The ladies on the View should replace the MSM. whoopie goldberg asked better questions of Mccain than most tv media.

This soft pedding of Palin is rediculous, she is running for VP and could very well be 2nd in line to the "throne" (gasp). To not understand the "Bush Doctrine" (the most significant foreign policy directive in 100 years) is just unfathomable. Not asking the questions is sexist.

least we forget, this is what republicans were saying of Ferraro

Asked what she thought of Ms Ferraro, Barbara Bush – the wife of the vice-president of the day – replied: “I can’t possibly say it, but it rhymes with rich.” The Reagan-Bush Administration won a 49-state landslide victory.

she has now added back the falsehoods about the plane on ebay (suggesting she sold it there) and the bridge to nowhere. She doubtless took them out of her speech in Alaska because the audience is well aware of the truth.

i hope and pray that sarah palin is found guilty of misuse of power as the governor of alaska and made to resign before more harm is done to this race. she is a fraud and full of her own self glory and nothing else. obama has had 2 years of campigning to get ready for his office where as this woman has had 3 weeks to get ready for the highest office in the nation. she is a puppet and is being told what to say and is not allowed to take questions that will show her ignorance on big government issues. her glamour will soon fade as the american people start to see thru this sham that mccain is running just to get women voters. god help us if we the american public doesn't get wise soon to prevent the worst mistake in history to happen.

What she needs to do is take all the lies out of her stump speech. Did she take about the joke that Republicans make about community organizer since McCain said at the Service Forum that serving your country is a good thing or did he mean just joining the military was a good thing?

If you vote for McCain, Palin will finish his frist term in office , I can see
Putin laughing now. She will be dangerous as our president, we will ba at war with the world.

Obama and Biden voted "yes" for the bridge to nowhere.

She Doesnt Tweak Her Speech. . . She Refines Her Lies For Different Audiences! Thats Why Her Nickname Is Spit And Run Palin! She Crawls Out From Under The Crooked Talk Express, Tells A Few Lies And Scurries Back Into The Bus Before Anyone Can Ask Her A Question!

I was under the impression that both Mrs. Palin and Senator McCain were Christians–they claim that they are. I am a Christian and I learned that it is a grave sin to lie. This applies to obfuscation–"technically not a lie" is a lie because it is all about intent–if the intent is to deceive then it is a lie. That is why Jesus said, "Say 'yes' when you mean yes and 'no' when you mean no anything else is from the evil one." So, as a Christian, I cannot vote for anyone who goes as a gossipmonger among the people. By their lies, McCain Palin lost my vote and anyone who is Christian should seriously consider if God wants them to reward a liar with their vote.

different lies for different crowds. she has plenty of mcstupid's lies to choosefrom.

So she "speaks to Carson City one way and to Lee's Summit another"

Is that not what she has been running Obama in the ground for?

CAN THIS WOMAN DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain I had so much respect for you. What are you thinking?

The reasons I am supporting Barack Obama:

THE BUSH/MCCAIN REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP HAS FAILED:

Bin Ladin has not been captured

War in IRAQ that was fabricated lies by Bush/McCain

4300+ Soldiers killed in Iraq war

Real threat of McCain attacking Iran and Syria and Russia

Fuel Prices through the roof

Largest OIL COMPANY PROFITS in history

Largest OIL COMPANY TAX GIVEAWAY in history

Record Home Forclosures

Record Unemployment

630,000 jobs lost since Republicans took control

Outsourcing of Jobs to foreign countries

Food prices out of control

Failing Education system

Record number of people without Healthcare

ONLY Major Country in the world without UNIVERSAL HEATHCARE

Loss of Respect around the Globe

Failing to recognize Global Warming

SO YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF: ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE 8 YEARS AGO?

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Theresa you are right on the money on that one. The problem with the Dems is that they cant stick together. Look at the Repugs. it doesn't what can of lies they come out with their supports stick with their candidate.

McCain/Palin bringing radioactive waste to Nevada. Might as well store the crap and lies coming out of their campaign there as well.
Vote Obama /Biden for a sensible approach to energy!

This may date me but has anyone noticed that Mrs. Palin seems to be the second coming of ANITA BRYANT??? Why didn't Sen. McSame pander to the right wing nuts with someone that had real experience and credentials????

Same lies within context….Rove politics

Why can't the McSame running mate Sarah Phoney tell the truth about anything?

Mike in Texas has it right!!!

What about the lies of Obama saying he will give EVRYONE a tax break at one location, then at another say he will tax the rich only, then at another interview he says he won't tax the rich if the economy is still bad!

Nothing but double talk from Obama, why doesn't anyone at CNN track these lies?

She "reads" as well as Bush! And she understands it even less; I thought that wasn't possible!

As time goes on, we are all finding that Sarah Palin has lied, or at least extemely stretched the truth, on several issues. Oh she went to Iraq to visit troops, then we find out later she has never stepped foot in Iraq. She also suppossedly did the same in Ireland, only to find out she simply stoped in the country to refuel her jet. What's next? Also, she is NOT experienced enough to be the Vice President. She was mayor of her tiny home town and Governor of Alaska for LESS THAN 2 YEARS. Come on!!! I can name a hundred people more qualified than her for the Vice Presidenial canidate. McCain chose her because she is young and attractive, and is the governor of Alaska…where he wants to drill more for oil. Thats' it!!! That is a pathetic approach to running for President and Vice President. The McCain campaign also used Palin's gender in any and every way possible to try and make it seem like Obama is attacking her when he really is not. Pathetic!!!

They will say and do anthing to get elected — MaCain & Palin are liers period.

Hello!!!!!!!!!! They all do it.

why lie? it's pitiful that's all they got. perhaps some integrity and honor would serve mccain/palin better. if they lose the election and their honor,or if they win the election ,but, still lose their honor,just how far will that go in uniting the nation? i,for one ,will not unite behind a president/vp who lies, consistently, to get elected.

Have you contrasted this to Obama's speechs? It is obvious that you you do not care to hold the future vice president to the same standard you do a Presidential Candadate. Obama profits on the back of the less fortuniate and he uses our taxes to do it. Obama and his left wing wacko friends are the only ones that profit from his platform. Try and find an example the change Obama brought about in Chicago during his tenure or shown the results of any of his proposals being successful. There has not been a single instance where CNN reports the true NEW – Obama is an incompetent, junior sentator who is only a legend in his own mind! 11 years in the illinois senate and you cannot point to a since example of his work being successful. You can co-author any legislature, but it is just words if there are no examples! Examples Please! Someone? Anyone? I will settle for a photo that shows someone other than Obama and the liberal elites that have benefited from his efforts?

Its been reported now, that as the news media "slowly" starts to unravel the LIES McCain-Palin are spreading, the McCain camp says
"We atre in this to win, and dont "care" what the media has to say"..
Oh God, help us !!! a rose is a rose is a rose, a LIE is a LIE, is a LIE..why are not the "religious" starting to see this ??? America, we are in big trouble, surely, you cant want these LIARS in office again..after all, YOU will be affected TOO…How can you really want that ?????
Obama-Biden….Save us !!!!!

More and more is coming out about Palin, and her interview proves that she is a liar.

Did you see John McCain say on the VIEW that Palin did not take earmarks as governor of Alaska? He LIED right to their faces!

I really don't see how Evangelicals can overlook all the lies Palin and McCain have made. I don't believe God would be on the side of constant liars.

Good god – Media, will you stop talking about Sarah Palin. You think we are interested because we tune in but how can we not pay attention to the coverage when its all you folks talk about.

McCain is running for president – put his pictures up there alongside Obama. You are supposed to report to us, not their campaign managers.

If the American people listen to these lies and believe it, then, the Republicans have succeeding in reaching the idiots of this country. Honestly, are we this stupid that when we are being told lies after lies and we continue to vote for the liars? God help us!

Palen was pregnant and had to elope….now her teenage daughter is pregnant……what kind of message does this send to young people??

Alaskans say Palin's lifestyle is turning their state into a caricature !!!

She supports the war….and book banning…..is anti abortion ….wants creationism taught in schools but not brth control….has lied about "the bridge" and made sarcastic and uncalled for remarks about Obama!!

She is smug…has a big mouth…needs McCain for a security blanket !!
END HER 15 MINUTES OF FAME BEFORE SHE DOES ANY REAL DAMAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is dangerously inexperienced trigger happy on job training amateur. NO WAY, WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think people genuinely like her. I do. I think she is incredibly bright and smart. However, she just does not have the knowledge. The core knowledge to be VP. She had to be tutored on foreign policy, economic policy, domestic policy. This doesn't worry people because of her appeal. Obama had the same appeal and then he had to earn people's trust that he could actually do the job. McCain is putting all his bets on her, which is keeping her in the spotlight. My gut tells me that at some point, it will backfire. Its not always great to get all of the attention. Just ask Barack Obama.

Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie. Did she think of some new ones?

Sarah is a Liar, Plain and Tall

McCain/Palin
Unstable/Unable

Bottom line, McCain choosing Palin put campaign before country.
Now that I've seen Palin interviewed, I'm really afraid of this person getting any power. Her policies are Bush's, her lack of any depth of knowlege is like Bush, her confidence in using power without having any nuance of understanding of issues is Bush, and her willingness to misuse her power to get back at her enemies is Bush. We already knew the top of the ticket agreed with Bush most of the time. Now we know the bottom of the ticket IS Bush. This ticket could range from more of the same to out and out disaster.

I can't wait for the townhall meetings I hope they are on video and TV.

Theresa, it seems you just sound crazy.
Women were given a chance and Hillary Clinton gave that chance to all women of America, but things didnt go her way, she indeed was a credible woman and she could have lead America forward given that the Husband too was a president sometime back.
Now here is McCain who has selected Palin as his running mate, why then not support her, Halloooo, am so sure where Mrs. Clinton is she's happy to see Palin where she is and a splendid campaign she is running. Come on American women OPEN your ears and eyes.

Is this newsworthy? I would wager my life savings that the stump speeches for OBama, McCain, and Biden change depending on the audience. Remember in 2004 when Kerry was in Michigan and accidentally talked about the Buckeyes (he had been in columbus hours earlier)? I am really sick of these 'reporters' and their 'unbiased news stories'.

Both McCain and Palin have problem telling the truth!!!

They both claim to be a Christians and they both tell lie after lie after lie even after the media exposes the lie they still continue to lie.

Is this how they will run the White House?

Palin stays firm on Bridge to Nowhere claim; Obama camp calls bridge claim a 'lie'

But at rallies in Fairbanks and Anchorage, her “thanks but no thanks” line failed to find its way into her remarks.

Hey Palin: “thanks but no thanks” to you and McCain!
Both Lie like a Rug.

Obama & Biden '08

McCain has proven that, as Obama said, he will lose his integrity to win an election. As recently as 4 years ago, the man had at least a microcosm of honor. It's gone now; the man has sold his soul to the devil, in the person of Karl Rove, in order to secure the Presidency. We can not allow the Republicans to win this race on lies and deceit. If they win on issues, that's one thing. The problem is that they cannot win on the issues, hence the lies, smears and misrepresentations.

Even as a Barack supporter, I understand the strategy of not touting Nuclear expansion in a city next to the proposed waste site. The Republicans are sleazy, but they are not stupid.

I am a woman and I am NO fan of Sarah Palin. She seems to me a schemer, one that will gladly cash in on her good looks to get ahead. I don't like her overly confident self confidence, she has achieved in Alaska but that in no way qualifies her to be heartbeat away from the presidency. The last straw for me was her interviews with Gibson, she comes across as a hawk. In my opinion we have had enough of the cowboy mentality.

Pandering! McCain – Palin are all for expanding nuclear energy and are stumping for it on the campaign trail. However, when they stump in Nevada they don't mention it.

Question: McCain – Palin if you want to expand nuclear energy, then where are you going to store the nuclear waste? Tell us PANDER BEARS!

NO WAY! NO HOW! NO MCCAIN! NO PALIN!

That's the nice thing about telling lies, you can tailor them to fit the situation. THe most telling is that she doesn't mention her opposition to the Bridge to Nowhere when she's speaking in Alaska. You can only lie if people aren't sure of the facts.

…and all this time we're talking about HER!!!, not about the state of the US of A and of the world we live in. It's outrageous, but you have to hand it to the Republicans: they know how to direct public opinion.

She is a scary scary women! She is clueless on anything she hasn't be coached on. That is why the media has been held back from her. Wake up women around the country, she is going to set womens rights back 300 years!

It shows you that she is a LIAR. She knows that she cant tell Alaskans that she did not support the bridge to nowhere but when she comes back to other part of the states, she realises that we are FOOLS and in the name of religion, we will believe anything that she says. It baffles me why the race is now tilting towards Mccain. Obama is now struggling to even hold on to the blue states. We must like living in a PATHETIC world

Food for thought! That would be the kind of calculated stroke their campaign would make. Win the election at any cost, then afterward let the party insiders craft a way to maintain old-guard control. "Thow the republican administration out! Replace it with…a republican administration!" The very thought that they can push this platform as "change" or "reform" simply boggles the mind.

Thanks Theresa, you just saved me a lot of typing!

she's a big fake politician, keep tell the same lies, Palin

I fear our elections have become nothing more than an ego trip for our candidates versus an honest desire to serve our nation. They are clearly running against each other rather than for America. The tweaking of speeches can signal only dishonesty by failing to disclose vital information to the public. Running America is not a game anymore, we have come down to sink or swim time now.

What else is new, every day we are getting more and more of the same rhetoric of course adjusting them to what people want to hear. Is up to us the voters to stand up on November and said to them enough is enough.

Sad, sad ; Americans are trully sad – look how electing a person on whether :u could have a beer with them: got u – Bush ; u would think that u guess have learn yout lesson – appparently not

She disgusts me….and so does her running mate. A ticket made in heaven … or hell? They are McCain, McPalin, McBush, McSame…

No way – No how…..

Theresa, you could be right. I do think that Palin is too power hungrey to step down, God forbit they are elected. She has shown her family doesn't matter. She has no emotion about her daughter being pregnant or her son going to Iraq. Her son is not leaving for a month or more. I believe she went back to Alaska this week to interfer with the investigation and to put a muzzle on the current and former employee's. She is already a proven liar. ie: Earmarks she was taking them when McCain was campaigning against them. Abortions, she is in favor ONLY for life of mother. Stem cell research, totally against it. She is no reformer, just a dirty politician that will mow you down or fire you if she get in her way. McCain better be careful.

McCain/Palin has side steps every issue, thrown up diversion to keep from talking about the issues. Mccain is keeping Palin away from the Press

Obama/Biden are the best for America's to change the old policies of Bush/Chaney/Rowe, McCain/Palin.

One more tweak……………….One more lie.

Oh?……………………. Did she LIE?

Isn't she a christian?

Let's see………………

1. Lying
2. Stealing (Trying to steal Obama's change concept)
3. Fornication (She's pro-life but it's okay if you commint fornication.
4. Absentness (It's okay to have sex……..just don't protect yourself.
5. Deceit (Trying to dodge questions by Gibson)
6. Arrogance (Belittled community workers.)
7. Family Neglect (She didn't discuss with her family whether to take the VP position. She immediately said YES!.

WHEW! She's quite a trooper.
OH! TROOPER! Didn't she have her ex brother in law fired?

Theresa:

You're right on the money. I think McCain will do anything to win this election. It saddens me to see that he has taken the low road. All Americans admire his heroism. He seems to have no intergrity or honor. As a Christian, it is disappointing to see someone sell their soul.

Theresa – that is the best rationale I have heard yet for why McCain would have ever chosen the "fluff" of Sarah Palin. The lies are outrgaeous and must be vetted completely. But because she says things so convincingly (and snidely) and the Republicans are in such desparate need of a candidate to follow, they are gobbling it all up hand over fist. No matter how many times FactCheck.org will tell the truth about the lies – Republicans aren't listening because they don't WANT to. Hopefully the debates will show exactly what kind of characters are running and make these hopeless followers wake up and vote for Obama/Biden when they enter the polling booths on Nov. 4th. If not, our economy will continue in the downward spiral we're in now, the wars will continue, millions of citizens will continue to be uninsured, and on and on and on. The sad part is – these are the same people who will blame a Democratic congress when the man they put into office is REALLY to blame.

Why does the media allow McCain/Palin to lie on so many issues, and not hold them accountable? Why did Palin say we were attacked by the Iraqs? Why is the media willing to allow George Bush and the McCain/Palin team ( run by the Bush people) to take our country into another WAR… if McCain wins…. we will be at WAR with another country within 6 months….COUNT ON IT PEOPLE.

why are the MSM endorsing lies from candidates for president. US president is the top most job in the world and we need not torelate liars. If you lie your way to the office, you will definately govern with lies and it is the american people who will suffer as has happened under Bush.

Of course her claim was left behind – just like we should leave her behind.

The McCain campaign admitted to Politico.com that they are trying to win an election. They will do anything in order to win. Sen. McCain has no desire to make "change" he just wants to be President. If you want to know about who exactly is running his campaign go to mclobbyists.com it gives you all the details about who running his campaign and then you can decide exactly how much "change" he's going to bring about.,

Sarah, did you say it? You know …. Sambo … did YOU say it?

I can’t believe you did. I mean, that term is so 1920-ish and you were not even born until 1964. Nobody works that hard at being prejudiced anymore.

I guess it’s OK if you did say it … we just need to know the TRUTH. Thanks

Interesting comment. I believe Palin is not comfortable in her state capitol of Juneau and spends most of her time in home territory. As a Texan who was transplanted to D.C. I know about the culture shock that can occur within our own country. I will hope the voters do not give her the opportunity to have this similar experience.

Of course she does, it's political pandering at its best from a politically pandering campaing that selected Palin as a tactic to pander voters.

She should be called out on this, along with all the other issues she has flatly lied about.

Twisting the truth is akin to lying, I would have thought the Bible taught her better.

mcPalin they are hell bent on getting elected they will say whatever and do whatever they think the people want. In reality its all about them. She chose this race over her family and he chose these nasty smear tactics over his integrity.The media is so far biased the average 9 year can see this. Obama was crucified for what his preacher preached and he wasn't even in the church. Palin is in the church will the Jew hater even gives a speech. FOr the media all they needed for verification was those are not her views.I watched her interview and what scares me the most is not her lack of experience but her statement to make us all one culture. I do not want the government dictating what I can teach my children.

Theresa W. that honestly makes alot of sense, but knowing Palin' lust for power she'd find some way of usurping power from McCain.

McSAme said when we come to know more about her we will like her.
Well the few that I discovred about her so far in 2 weeks makes me vomit. And he is selling her as a reformer to the Republicans? WOW some people must be very stupid and stubborn to buy that.
McSame just need people to come to his rallies. I wonder why he can't campaign on his own.

What news! Let us erect a memorial in her honor…

She says only what SHE thinks people want to hear. I want to hear
her answer questions that WE want answered.

Good point Theresa, well put.

Different lies for different crowds.

Can't she just hold her own townhall meeting without McWhine? I guess that would have her flaw exposed!

Oh…changing a few lines to introduce is the minimum she can do…but its still the same stump speech…gimme a break!

Rasmussen has McCain-Palin up now by 3. They are taking their case directly to the people. Energy independence, reform the government, make it work better, and tax cuts. That is the change McCain-Palin bring. Obama has yet to define what he means by change and his campaign is in shambles.

Palins Pathalogic, Mccain is Geriatric!!!! They will be make horrible heads of state.

Palin is not a Maverick. She is a power hungry newcomer who has learned how to play the game. But she is also not shy about pandering and, yes, even lying to get her way. As Mayor of Wasilla, a town of 5500 people at the time, the largest project of her administration was to spend over $14,000,000 on an NHL sized ice rink. I'm sure that sounded great to a hockey mom, but did the town really need it? She claims she said "thanks but no thanks" to the bridge to nowhere, but she kept all of the money for other projects. She hired a federal lobbyist to obtain earmarks for Wasilla, and then raked in over 27 million in earmark money. She has routinely gotten rid of peoplewho disagree with her,p and surrounds hwersef with "yes people". Sound familiar?

There was a small error in your reporting of her standard stump speech- Sarah Palin never mentions Nuclear energy- she promotes something called Nuculer energy.
This woman is not what america needs.

Interesting but does anyone honestly think Obama or Biden or any politician doesn't taylor their speeches for the audience they're addressing. Why not report how all the candidates change their speeches instead of singling out Palin.

the last thing we need here is nuclear energy,, its very dangerous and would take many many more years to put in place than the solar energy obama porposes,,, people wake up,, this plan mccain/palin have is bull,,,, we need change more and a good change ,, not nucelar change ,, omy god,, we arent in the past where we need a storage of nuclear in this country,,,,, lets move forward,,,, as far as drillin, same of mccain/bush ,, it would take many many years for this to be completed and for what reason, the fuelstorage in this country was set adise for emergencies ,, well we are in one,, why arent they un-capped and used/??? we know why ,, bush,, and now mccain will do the same,,, lots a hot air but no substance to what mccain and palin want to do,, OBAMA/BINDE 08 and beyond,,,,,

Until she talks to the media or even the audience, this woman should get no press. You examined every syllable in every Obama speech, yet we can't do the same for this woman because of the fake republican out rage of "sexism." You have each candidate run the gamut of the media except this woman. If she can stand up to the media how can she stand up to world leaders or even our own government they say she wants to "reform." So once again until she talks to the media or even the audience, this woman should get no press.

How come the Obama campaign does not come at them harder. We all know they are lying. They need to start fighing back now. Thank you.

And you don't think Obama tailors his speeches? Another example of partisan reporting. I'm 51 years old and an independant. I have never seen the press work so hard to build non-issues into something….. anything. I have decided to vote for McCain and Palin simply because the press want Obama so badly. That is reason enough to vote for someone else.

So deceiving, so upsetting. These lying hypocrites don't even deserve a shot at the White House. They are a disgrace even to presidential politics.

Talk about serious baggage. She's Dan Quayle with makeup and long hair. She's got the most baggage I've ever seen from any President or VP nominee. She'll never be fit for the White house, now or in the future. She's uneducated (Idaho??!?!?!), her world views are completely distorted, and she's becoming a notorious liar who can't talk without a teleprompter. Sounds like a middle of nowhere, small town mayer to me, not VP of the US.

She may tweak her speech, but its still full of lies and deception. I though John McCain was an honorable war hero. Instead he's become a lying politician who will do anything to win.

Palin has made lying a habit. Let's not reward dishonesty – vote Obama for America.

"Just fill in the blanks and don't say anything else."
Ronald Regan speech writing at it's best,or worst.,along the lines of "We didn't trade armas for hostages" one day and "Well apparently we did." the next.See what happens when a republican deviates from the script?

Just what this country doesn't need at the most critical time in history,a vice pesidential candidate with training wheels for an old presidential candidate with a history of health issues.

When is the media going to start pulling apart every word Obama says. Pointing out every time he changes his mind. Pointing out over and over again how much inexperience he has. How he and his campaign have exagerated everything McCain says and then tries to say its only McCain doing these things. OBAMA IS THE ONE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! HE IS RUNNING AGAINST JOHN MCCAIN.

Drill now for energy independence… in 2030! That's how long it would take before any new drilling has an effect on us, and even then it would be insignificant (<10%). Earth to Palin: By 2030 we've either switched over to new technologies or we'll be paying $400 a barrel in ruined environment. Get your head out of thinking what's best for Alaska, and think of what's best for America.

Is Mrs. Palin smarter than a 5th grader?? i wish she was…

McCain/Palin Campaign Song

It's my "party"

I'll lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

Palin will lie too

Just to dupe all of you

Wake up America….Prove you are Smarter this time around.

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN, NO PALIN

( Do not keep me in moderation CNN)

Palin is getting a free ride. I am a woman and if she wants to be in a big boys game then she should be available for the big boys interviews. since she has some much experience…..

How can anyone be dumb enough to vote for McCain Palin.

Early in the campaign, many Republicans complained about how Obama was a 'media darling', getting free exposure because of various 'news' reports. Now Palin is getting this free exposure – worth millions in campaign money.

I find it very telling that it was the Republicans who tried to turn celebrity into a negative for Obama, but a positive for Palin. That they turned Obama's fundraising prowess into a negative ('buying the election'), but McCain's is a positive. That they whined about how the media is picking the candidate when Obama was news, but now claim it is 'the public' when Palin is the news.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Republicans. It has been thus for 8 years. It unfortunate that so many people have been duped by the current administration, and the Republican campaign machine. Of course, one has to realize that 50% of the population has an IQ below 100, which explains the close race, I think…

As a woman I feel that I am fairly intelligent, I do not understand
how the American women can vote for Palin. Yes she is a soccer mom and a PTA member and is like many many other women in
this country and we can all relate to her, BUT PLEASE SHE IS NOT
QUALIFIED TO BE VP OR PRESIDENT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS
TO MCCAIN. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH>

She is more conservative than Bush! How is it that the 600,000 citizens of Alaska received a much touted $1200 each from oil profits (which is what Obama wants to do for America) yet Alaska recieves more federal earmarks per capita than any other state in the union?
Also on the tax question– perhaps Obama wants to raise taxes, but that's in the face of the trillion dollar deficit he's inheriting. Not exactly the smartest thing in the world-lower taxes while spending billions per day on a war in Iraq. The surge has worked- a surge into a war that was started on lies. Now the next administration, Americans and our children have to pay for it. I guess 5% of your $300k salary is too much to ask to pay for Bush's mistakes…

Tweak huh?

WE ALL KNOW what the word "tweak' means. LOL.

It means John McCain's little "CHIHUAHUA" has put her foot in her mouth too many times and they have NOW given her new written scripts for her to FOLLOW TO THE LETTER like a well trained puppy!! Okay? OKAY?

This is a slap in her face. John McCain must NOT be too confident in his VP pick since he WON'T let her out on her own. Funny that?

The McCain camp has sent 12 attorneys to Alaska to DERAIL and DELAY the "Troopergate" Investigation into allegations that Gov. Sarah Palin ABUSED HER POWER AS GOVERNOR!!

The question is WHY has Gov. Palin gone back on her word to COOPERATE with investigation NOW? She herself stated she would cooperate. WHY the change?

WHAT does Gov. Palin have to HIDE if she claims she's done "nothing" wrong?

IF you haven't done anything WRONG, then WHY NOT cooperate in getting the to the TRUTH?

WHY ALL THE SECRECY? Why has her own HUSBAND and STAFF been SUBPOENAED??? When they all said early on they would cooperate?

WHY is the McCain camp getting involved in trying to KEEP THIS INVESTIGATION FROM THE AMERICAN VOTERS?

WHAT is John McCain sooooooo AFRAID OF?

I was initially impressed with Sarah Palin. After seeing her interviews with Charlie Gibson I was horrified. She is woefully lacking to be a politician at the national level at this point. Her extremist views are frightening. McCain has lost all respect with his twisting explanations of his own actions. I truly fear for America if these two are elected.

Figures. She will say anything and mislead anyone to get the vote. They will destroy the environment, economy and people's lives and the future of this planet just to have the power they so crave. They are disgraceful and she is the perfect example of power gone mad and corrupt.

Anyone that votes for them is a disgrace to freedom, truth and justice.

Palin joined herself to McSame and she is no different. Whatever she says will not resonate with voters. She has already told too many lies and to think that women will vote for her just because she is a women is disrespectful to women who have a brain! You are what you eat, Palin, and you have opted to be in McSame's corner, therefore, you ARE JUST LIKE HIM! Go home! Alaska is calling…

Theresa…who knows? Anything is possible. But I'd bet anything that if McCain loses, there's no way her daughter and that kid are getting married.

She makes me sick…She is a professional Liar…wow. Country First huh?

She is nothing if not a quick study, as her handlers give her the right cue cards.
Otherwise, she'd be lost in her own web of lies.

One word to define Palin, political gimmick.
one word to define McCain exploiter of women!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds logical to me.Theresa a

all politicians do this… it is not new and she will not be the last to employ this tactic.,… does anyone remember how the news outlets latched on southern acent that hillary clinton seemed to acquire when stumping in the southern states? obama, biden, mccain and every politician has done the same thing… if democrats doubt this, then they need to ask themselve how the 'bitter and gun's" comment was reported as being used by obama in san francisco, a location and audience that would have understood and maybe even welcomed the statement, and seemed to have disappered or renounced in other locations. i've taken to believing that political speeches are like those standard form wherein one inserts the appropriate name and date. i'm not surpriesed by this and frankly don't know how this is really worthy of reporting.

liar……..hypocrite…..and some of the numbskull americans eating her garbage….pathetic

pow= Pitiful Old Warmonger

Interesting article – but does Obama give the same stump speech at every destination – and if Obama does ALSO tweak his speech to suiit the situation – why not report it with the same headlines at the top of the Ticker

Ms. Palin is proving herself to be a lying deceitful smug Wacko! Oh I forgot….shes a republican

What do the oil companies think of Palin? She increased taxes on the oil companies in Alaska 300% which is the single reason she was able to have a surplus. She needs to be asked if she will increase the oil companies federal taxes and if not why the change of heart. McCain has been constantly saying no to a windfall profit tax on oil companies while Palin did exactly the opposite in Alaska by 300%. So why isn't anybody asking this question. McCain and Palin seem to be at big odds on this subject.

Thanks, but no thanks to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't they all tweak there speeches for different audiences

Lies, lies, lies.
