and by the way Palin, there has already been a second and third and fourth holocaust….Or have you not heard about the ongoing genocide in Africa. Maybe you just don't care about that though, since there's no Moose Stew in Africa.

All of this is what has came back around to haunt the republicans.Thinking that just because they are "white" by firing up the base, country first that whole shameful republican convention was really a subleminal underhanded attempt by McCain to rally the white vote to not vote for this black man.You can't treat people they way they did and expect a good outcome.What goes around comes around.

I was wondering why her friends weren't voting for her. NOW I KNOW–there's no one home, but she's a lovely lady.

Obama/Biden 08

The slanderous comments on here are ridiculous. I would love to hold any of the people who leave comments here to their own standards.

It is obvious that most people are merely cheerleaders for their candidate instead of thinking about issues. It bears little difference than Yankees vs Red Sox.

she crazy it sounds like bush and mccain about the war . trust me they say

She's an idiot, plain and simple.

Its one thing to support and vote for McCain but she simply isn't worthy of the title "Vice President".

Her comments on Israel show her ignorance! She can't expound on anything. She can only repeat talking points given to her by her handlers. "We can't second guess Israel". Well Sarah, please tell me why? That 's what I want to know.

Should American taxpayers continue to support Israel financially when clearly we have our own financial problems? She we allow them to obliterate the Palestinians? Why Sarah??? Can you think for yourself?

She has been watching too many John Wayne movies.

Ready from day one!

What can I say….pretty face but no brain. Her rationale doesn't make any sense. Maybe she needs to go back to school and study US HISTORY AND WORLD HISTORY so she can add them to her resume. Seattle population is bigger than the state of Alaska. So I don't think she's ready to be VP. Maybe she can control Alaskans but not the rest of the main land USA.

BARACK OBAMA HAS LESS EXPERIENCE THAN SARAH PALIN AND HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. BE VERY AFRAID…..

Condoleza Rice had used the SAME EXACT wording….grow up kool aid drinkers.

CHICKEN LITTLE , CNN FILLS IN WHERE HITLER LEFT OFF, BY SPREADING MORE LIES. FOR HE WAS A GREAT SPEECH WRITER ALSO.

Sarah Palin does not have the intelligence or even understand the breadth/depth of the issues involving foreign relations. You simply cannot publically espouse or support a philosophy of Armagedon in the Middle East. Its as if she has no understanding of the history of the region. I would have thought it was part of the curriculi for a journalism degree. guess not!

Maybe she's using her responses from her beauty pageant. America I Give you Ms. South Carolina by way of Alaska. Find it on the map!

Vote Obama / Biden and save the world from a nuclear armed Palin

Does anyone remember the Peter Principle which states "people tend to be promoted up to their level of incompetence" ?
Sarah Palin may have done well enough in her mayoral job or be popular as the Governer of Alaska…but Vice President may be just too much for her.

This principle can also be expressed in more simpler terms: The cream sours as it rises.

I told you guys don't make her meet world leaders
She thinks that she understands politics now!!

AMERICA WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THE OKEY DOKE IN 08′

TOO MUCH "TRICKERY" WITH THE REPUBLICANS, THEY THINK WE ARE STUPID. NOT THIS TIME – NO WAY – MY KIDS NEED A FAIR CHANCE AT LIFE. MY 401 K IS NOW A 201 K THANKS BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO MC – PAIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REPUBLICAN VOTING DEMOCRAT IN 2008

bless her heart.

(if you're not from the south, that's an insult)

When I hear her talk, I feel like I fell down the rabbit hole. She is really a discredit to women – her cutesy answers are completely inappropriate and don't fool anyone paying attention.

I hope for the good of this country that Americans see through this.

In my opinion, John McCain is a traitor to his country for jeopardizing us by choosing as his VP someone completey unprepared and unqualified. And in my mind, no matter how much "International Relations 101″ she gets fed, Sara Palin will NEVER be qualified.

Why must we always come to Israel's defense? That's partly why so many Islamic extremists hate us. Let's stop entangling alliances, stop giving military aid to other countries, and stop policing the world! It's costing us allies and lots and lots of money!

Hey Pleading for America above:

Do your homework. McCain has missed the most votes out of any senator. To say Obama is not doing his job is a direct insult to McCain. Thanks for the free ammo.

Sarah Palin WANTS a Third World War. She's part of a rising number of Christians who believe we're in end times. They want a war between Iran-Russia-China vs. the USA and Israel to trigger Jesus's return, their ascendance to heaven, and all the other stuff from Revelations. Look up Christian dominionists, or even Rapture-ready.

To reiterate– she WANTS A WORLD WAR.

This is the smartest thing she has said since being chosen.

A vice president that understands the importance Israel has to America is the only one that can do the job right.

If America does not 100% defend Israel, it will lose all influence in the Middle East, and the future of our way of life will be in grave danger.

Why more of you didn't vote for Hillary, I'll never understand. But, now that we're past that, I'll take a "crazy" Palin and McCain that will keep the status quo over an egotistical Obama-Biden who is too uber-liberal for their own good!

Vote Canada!

I'm terrified at the fact that this is still a close race….

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

OOPS! Again! I hope Iran doesn't fly over Alaska's Air Space!?????

The only people dummer than Palin are those who actually think she is smart.

Every time Palin opens her mouth she proves to the American people that she is not even close to being vice presidential material.
She is just another mistake that John McCain made – proving to us that he is unfit for the presidency.
The 2 of them together spells doom to our country.

Oh Lord, we've got one of those.

A women who thinks if she smiles and flips her hair, maybe America won't realize she doesn't have a brain.

Note to Sarah: When the reporter is smarter than you are, give it up, you're toast.

This woman can never be given the White House. I just hope Americans view it the same way I do. If McCain truly cared for his country he would not have picked Palin as his running mate. That to me is an irresponsible decision.

I hope Obama gets elected and shows everybody that there will be no change. I will laugh at all of the far lefts that post 99.9 % of these comments. Really, come on, really is that tax cut going to make such a huge difference that you can go and buy tons of stuff you normally wouldns

I cringe each time I hear her speak.

When the election is over,,,,,Sarah can go back to Alaska and shoot a moose,,,,,,.Since her arrival into BIG-BOY politics,,,,,,more than once has she shot herself in the foot. Later on in life when she has become a little wiser,,,,,,hopefully she will realize that McCain used her for John McCain's,,,,,,not America's best interests. McCain has Sarah out there on the stump PIMPING FOR HIM. I have the feeling that the once proud Senator is losing his mind. His has become paranoid over the presidency. Sarah has become the laughing stock of the world. Senator McCain should be ashamed of himself.

Oh Please. She is disgusting – stupid. This is sad and it would be funny if it wasn't so scary. She has no idea what she is talking about. It seems that she wants EVERYONE attacked – Iran, Russia. She needs to go back to her life in Alaska with her wacky, weird comments. Can she see Israel from her kitchen window? She isn't qualified to make a statement about anything. I bet the GOP wishes McCain had done some vetting on this woman. She is out of it.

I sure wish Palin would stop talking, she's killing McCain's chances of winning. Picking her was a terrible mistake, but if she stops talking we might still be able to win.

A see all the paid Obama bloggers are out in full force today!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

This woman is a disgrace!!!

A critical thinker she is not.

Please America, vote for your future.

Please take me off moderation.

I can see GOP pulling a 'wardrobe malfunction' during the VP debate..

What an idiot. Palin, Wake up pretty please. Stop with the beauty pageant answers. The real world is complicated, and guess what? Israel is not always right, or acting with our best interest in mind. If they screw up we will let them know, just as we would any other nation. After all, self-proclaimed bulldog in lipstick, don't Republicans pride themselves on being the world's watchdogs? Maybe you should stick to not making statements to the press, m'kay?!?

So we're all supposed to bow down before Israel, a nation that condones and practices state sanctioned executuons of those it deems to be its enemies. Well, to hell with that and to hell with Palin: the only woman in government who is a greater disgrace to all women than Pelosi. To Hell with them both…While the greatest rat of them all, Hoyer, whips his majorly minor meat in the background.

Well Sarah,

This coming from a person who stated, “…our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of,”

What the heck????? "They're (Russia and Canada) in the state that I am executive of."

You are in the state of Alaska, Russia and Canada are not a part of Alaska. You my dear, are in a state of confusion.

John McCain should have second guessed his pick of you for V.P. Personally, I would have picked Heidi Klum as she has far more international experience and is better looking.

This woman is a disgrace!!!

A critical thinker she is not.

Please America, vote for your future.

Holly crap! Ok, Republicans, how is this not just crazy? Sure it plays well to the Bubba vote, but what this kind of thing does is give free reign to Israel to suck us into a further war with the Islamic Faith.

Caribou Barbie can talk tough about Obama all she likes, but saber rattling like this has ramifications. My god, don't let this woman anywhere near the Presidency!

maybe palin is going through the change of life, she tries to talk like a child, every time she opens her mouth something rediculous comes out, guys, gals, give me a break.

All you partisans on both sides should cool it. Do we need to crucify anyone we don't agree with? My take on Sarah Palin? Is she a bright, successful woman and mother? You bet! Is she qualified to be VP? No way! Has she been treated like sht by the McCain campaign? ABSOLUTELY! She never had a chance because the McCain camp never had her back. You can see her lack of self-confidence in her face. The true sexists in this campaign are John McCain and his staff. If I were her, I'd leave this trainwreck and head home. No one would think the less of her if she did. Anyone who still thinks McCain should be President shouldn't be allowed to vote. PERIOD!

I hope Senator Biden is able to address some of this garbage that she's been spewing lately "if" and when they meet next week.

But I also sincerely hope that he does not come across as too aggressive and thus diminish the vast emptiness of her words and candidancy and have it turned around and it become about him rather than her ineptness.

Beltway Insider September 26th, 2008 2:10 pm ET
I swear to god, she must be even dumber than W.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You should see the reaction of people in Europe and elsewhere. It's almost like the rest of the world is in shock at the depth of dishonesty displayed every day by McCain and the simple stupidity displayed every day by Palin. It's fascinating.

What an idiot. A good friend and ally is not just there to support you, they are also there to be your number one critic. We should second guess EVERYTHING they do, as we should second guess everything WE do. And they should return the favor! That's how an alliance works!

I am truly trying to understand why anyone could think that Palin could function as VP, let alone Pres. I guess it's just people who support their party (Republican) no matter what. No thinking person could actually believe she is capable of successfully filling the role. Anyone care to help me understand WHY she could do this job? Because I'm not seeing it. At all.

We heard this one already during her first interview. If the McCain camp legitimately likes and respects this woman, why don't they write her some new material.

"Don't blink" "Don't 2nd guess Israel" "Thanks but no thanks!"

Yes, Sarah. Thanks but no thanks!

"We know who the bad guys are. Bad guys wear black masks and striped shirts."

I am waiting to see her debate with Joe Biden.

Our society should respect education and intelligence and reject this person. She is a joke. An ignorant, poorly informed joke.

She's no Einstein, but she doesn't have to be a genius. The purpose of Sarah's selection was to solidify the base. She did that. Too bad John is stuck with her. She can't put together one intelligent sentence.

Katie Couric asked for specific examples of John McCain being a maverick in Congress, other than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Sarah's answer:
"l'll try to find that out and get back ta ya."

Well, don't hold your breath on that one America because she's educationally challenged.

Posted by Yes!!!!!! above:

What is the criticism here?

"Does ANY country – including the US- accord other countries, even allies the RIGHT to second-guess them?

This is standard fare- each nation is sovereign and does not allow OTHER nations the right to dictate their policy- especially when it concerns security.What is the criticism here?"

Okay, I guess the only way other countries should allow the U.S. to second guess them is if the U.S. attacks a soverign nation through an illegal war……..second guessing other nations is called DIPLOMACY. It is something Americans should learn to use in the foreign arena as it costs a lot less than wars.

At this point in the juncture, how can anyone still be undecided? The choice is clear. Continue to sink into a financial disaster= McCain/Palin. Turn this country around and back into a surplus= Obama/Biden. It is really that simple people.

She is a total IDIOT and has no clue that she is a joke. It's more than scary — she doesn't realize she sounds so STUPID and wants to lead this country. Lord have mercy.

Wonder how in the world people in Alaska even chose her for their state???

This woman has no clue what she is talking about. Sad.

Guys and Gals…I'm really stupid!

What Duh???????????????
"Good Guys" and "Bad Guys"…………………Did this women even graduate high school? I have a 12 year old daughter who is smarter than this nit-wit. Sarah Palin is a complete discrace to Women.
I am sorry, John McCain is very sexist…………First he choose this woman without any background checks (Kind of like he met her a in a bar and took her home……………..and now she just won't go away)

what?

Anyone, Republic, Democrat, man or woman, who may, by circumstance or otherwise, wind up as the CEO of America, should be deemed unfit for office after making a statement that basically says that 'regardless of the US national interest, we will support a nation, in this case Israel, in whatever they decide to do in the name of THEIR national interest.'

You already has a financial melt-down because America's leaders decided to work in favour of Wall Street's interest vice the national interest. Look where it got you. A financial mushroom cloud.

By ignoring what is really in the US' national interest for Israel's, the next mushroom cloud may be literal.

Palin, we love you whatever you say.

McCain for Pres. September 26th, 2008 2:04 pm ET
To all the people making fun of Sarah Palin, You need to be afraid, because she has more on the ball and more experience than your presidential candidate and that's a fact that should really scare you. Comparing her to Biden is like comparing Obama to McCain, but she is running for VP not President. I guess that's why all you can do is tomock her, but the joke is on you.

This is exactly what I mean when I said that Mccain supporters make up false arguments to support huge mistakes made by the mccain campaign. If Mccain would have chosen Gov. Romney the race would be much closer. The point is that Mccain has mad costly errors that will cost him this election, and people are still supporting him.

Well I can see most of your comments here are from Obama people wake up he says alot of STUPID stuff himself or maybe not the teleprompter tells him what to say at least Sarah dosen't studder..

Palin is a complete IDIOT!!! First of all Israel has a smart Government that believes in diplomacy and discussing situation with there allies, the US. So I doubt we would ever have to second guess them because, AIR HEAD, we would probably have already been part of the decision. Go back to Alaska, you make me sick!!!

I wonder if she could find Israel on a map or pronounce the Prime Minister's name?

If so, then judging by the Bush yardstick, she's sufficiently qualified for the job to which she aspires.

Let put country first and vote for Obama-Biden
McCain is 72 years old and sickly. We cannot put
Palin in line to run this great coubtry. Sje may gey made and
put our nuclear weapons on ebay.
At least Obama has Joe Biden as a back-up, McCain has Palin.
Country first, vote Obama-Biden

WE ARE IN A RACE BETWEEN EDUCATION AND CATASTROPHE…

Oy vey!

Poor Sarah…that was just AWFUL! Good looks and charm just aren't going to cut it. Especially when McCain's age and health to last at least 4 years as President are in doubt.

Holy Mother of God!
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

This stupid statement sure makes me glad I'm a Canadian and as bad we might think some of our politicians are I am forever grateful they had the common sense to second guess Bush with his invasion of Iraq.

If Sara Palin were a disease she'd be incurable. Imagine just blindly supporting anyone without looking for the facts. She is nuts!

War monger.

GOOD GUYS AND BAD GUYS? WHAT IS SHE 8 YEARS OLD? THAT 6 COLLEGES IN 5 YRS EDUCATION IS REALLY SHOWING.

What did I think of her interview…..let me get back to you!

Lets give Sarah a break here. She like knows where Russia is. She like understands the good guys and the bad guys. You know the good guys wear white and the bad guys wear black. Perhaps John will let her answer more questions later. Until then we all must with be satisfied with the few humorour times we get to hear her.

You have to be really, really pathetic to make Dan Quayle look good. But Sarah Palin has succeeded. God help this country – and the world – if she ever gets anywhere near the White House.

Dixie September 26th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Iran has continually stated that they wanted to wipe Israel off the map. They should have our support to decide what is right for "their" future. Obama has stated repeatedly his dislike of Israel until he started campaigning for POTUS. We can't afford to have him as head of our National Security.
_____________________________

Dixie, where do you get your news? From Rush Limbaugh? Obama has never expressed anything but respect for Israel. Stop making up lies and go back to Fox news where you evidently belong.

I could be wrong but it seems to me like Palin is not 'at ease' during interviews and while she takes her time to 'respond to questions sometimes the 'answers and incoherent or questions do not get answered as asked. On this very sensitive issue, this sort of answer can raise eye brows!

It's tempting to think of Palin as a perfectly nice woman who is just way out of her league. But then you think of her choice to be blessed by a minister that Palin knew had proudly run a "witch" out of her Kenyan village. And the pressure her Governor's office put on an Alaskan Workers Compensation clerk to deny her ex-brother-in-law's claim for an injury suffered in the line of duty. Incidents like these raise far graver questions about Palin's fitness for the office of Vice President than a silly interview answer. Please cover these fully, CNN.

Peace can only be achieved when you have enemies that are willing to consider being your friends.

Does any logical human being who has read, watched, or listened to any of the spew from Iran's President, any radical Islamic clerics, or any one of Bin-Ladens team–really believe they will ever just settle their differences with infidels and eastern/ western zionists.

How does she expect to negotiate with Iran when she is already calling them "the bad guys"? How does she expect to negotiate peace in the middle east when she says she will never second-guess Israel, but will apparently second guess Palestine? Sounds like someone who would decide to go to war "without blinking". I didn't believe this was possible, but she's even scarier than Bush.

Good guys? Bad guys? We are not playing cops and robbers! "In my world…" what world Palin, are you living in. You mean in you pea sized brain? You should bow out. I would like to give you credit for knowing when you are over your head, but I can't. You don't even think there is a problem here. That is more than scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this woman is scary. I watched some of this interview and she made absolutely no sense to me. This is the pit bull with lipstick that's a heart beat away from commander and chief? Are you stupid republicians serious? She has been a smoke screen for mcsane's campaign since day one, I laugh at all you idiots who was suckered in by her now you see why they kept her under wraps so, she maybe a ok mayor, but governor, VP or maybe president she is not qualified.

Obama/Biden

People, I know how hard it is for most of us to recognize honor when it is right in front of us… it is a rare attribute these days. Who would we want for President, one who persues his own interests, who is absent from work like he has been most of his polical carreer, or one who forgets his own personal agenda and rushes to address what he considers a threat to the well being of the American people?
Say what you want about Palin's inexpirience. She is learning fast, and will make mistakes. Better now than latter. McCain is the real deal, if we can't see Obama for the traitor he is and would be as President, our country is selfish, weak and ready for a fall. Only faith, integrity, self restraint, and self-lessness will save our country. God first, Country second, Family third, Community fifth, selfish entitlement a very distant sixth.

"I can see Israel from my house!" – Palin the Failin

Shows how truely out of touch this soccor mom is.
Another "holocaust"???
Isreal is just a middle eastern extension of the USA.
The world knows this and will act accordingly.
Please don't let this imposter into office.
The only state that would ahve her is full of rejects and people hiding from the real world.

Ms. Palin doesn't have a clue about the subject. The USA second guesses Israel all the time.

I just came back from Israel the early part of this month – one of the recurring complaints I heard was that the USA meddles too much in Israeli internal affairs and that the Israeli government defers too often to the wishes of Washington because they don't want to put the US's aid to them at risk.

I suggest Ms. Palin bow out gracefully and get an education in economics (local and global) and international affairs – then maybe she can say something knowledgeable and coherent.

Heaven help us!

Well, there you go! Happy to support any war that might arise. Spoken like a true neo-con with their finger on the trigger.

Friends should always be in a position to advise friends. Sometimes they need second-guessed to ensure they do not drive themselves, and in this case the world, into the ditch.

Start up the draft. We are going to need a much larger military when the Republicans are put in charge for another 8 years. We will be involved in several more wars on several more fronts, it appears.

SUPPORT EACH OTHER INDEFINITELY; BUT . . . .

. . . there is no nation on this earth where we as Americans should not apply President Ronald Reagan's mantra "TRUST, BUT VERIFY". Wise and discerning leaders should always know the smallest details of both its friends and its adversaries when it comes to international issues that may have life & death implications, or may impact a nation's good health and survival.

Clearly, Sarah Palin is NOT thoughtful enough to explain such a simple principle.

Watching from way up North!
Way to go Sarah! The folks calling you down or against you seem to be very jealous of you. A lot of SEXISM, the same thing they did to Hilary even though she belonged to same party. As for the people who appear to be so concerned about John Mccain kicking the bucket soon and referring to Sarah as being a heart beat away if McCain should win the presidency. Maybe another nickname is in the works for Sarah: "America's Heartbeat." As far as Biden goes, you have to feel sorry for him especially when he comes to face to face with Palin in a debate. Sure Biden has been a Senator all his life but Sarah proves she can multi task right from being a mother to dealing with politics. She's one tough intelligent woman and she will pull through despite all the name calling and put downs. Go McCain! Go Palin!

People who do not support the right for Israel to exist, and to be free to make their own decisions sound like a bunch of Anti-American/Anti-Israel flag burners.

Sick..Get out of my country!

She probably never even meet a jewish person snice becoming a canidate for vice president. Please!

"If one's words are not better than silence, one should keep silent." -Kwai Chang Caine

Sarah Palin needs to get all the seasons one, two and three and educate herself

In all seriousness McCain needs to get her to step down.
She clearly has no grasps on foreign policy.She has no grasp on the way the world works.If Palin believes in good guys,bad guys,she could start another war with the snap of a finger.
Our name is already mud in the world after 8 years of Bush. Palin and the hotheaded McCain who sees everyone who doesn't carry an American flag and all other countries as enemies or potential enemies would make sure we stay in the mud and into another war.
This is danerous folks and the media better do their job or risk helping initiate another Iraq war.

she just opens her mouth like a dumb pageant contestant and blathers a bunch of buzz words without understanding any of the concepts or the consequences…. give her the miss congeniality award and then SHUT HER UP….

what a brainless wonder

God said to (Israel)..Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob…
I will bless the nation that blesses you and curse the nation that curses you….

Go Israel!

Go Palin

I'm Independent, converted to R for this election…

I weep for the future of this country if someone this ignorant is elected as vice-president. Every single thing she says is meaningless blather, empty soundbites, or just plain wrong. I swear to god, she must be even dumber than W.

Yes all you liberals who seem oblivous to the real world dont understand Israels position. They are surronded by over a hundred million hostile people who want to exterminate them, they are entitled to take actions in their self defence that they deem neccasary. Palin hit this one on the nail. Though many of you would rather continue your trend of appeasment, which we all know worked so well in stoping Hitler and WW2.

Mama always said to watch out for dem pitbulls. They will bite ya…. and leave ya fatally wounded …like my friend bubba wuz. She said they dem pitbulls belong locked up somewhere…..somewhere cold…like Alaska. She also told me not to let dem pitbulls in the White Hause…..they'll just tear up the new plastic on mama's old sofa. Mama wouldn't like that.

If Bush/Cheney were bad, i don't even want to imagine Mcain/Palin in the White House. What is this woman talking about? no wonder they have her on a press leash. the things she says further convinces me that her nomination for VP is one of the most desperate political stunt/joke to try to steal votes, do they think we're stupid?

I think we could maybe be forgiven for re-electing Bush, under the cirmstances in which we were after september 11, but to vote Mcain/Palin, is absurd!!! it is actually insulting!

with what we hear coming out of their mouth, they're right about change, Change for the worse! even Bush has realized he put his foot in his mouth.

Vote for Mcain/Palin and see what happens!

What the hell is this woman talking about, Wake up America, Bush & Cheney dig a hole, McSame & Palin will put the dirt on top of you, I say to you wake up open your eyes and election Obama & Biden.

She is a brainless women, she gave thought a great chance however wht word that follow cause the utmost confusion.

Let her not try to complete one straight sentence…

yo, so i live in New York City and I can see New Jersey from my rooftop. I also can experience any culture, any cuisine in the world, in all its authenticity, just a subway ride away. Oh, and when I do take the subway, more often than not the subway car I am in has people who speak 20 different languages. I also know how to hail a cab when 20 other people are waiting for cabs too. Oh I am sooo the expert on foreign policy and diplomatic relations, and just – you know – getting things done around the city. And in case you were wondering, I am the one who keeps an eye on Jersey… from my rooftop.

Just curious… Up there in Alaska, do they train the caribou and other animals to kick the governor in the head? She obviously has had her brain rattled by something, because her thoughts and her statements (at least the statements the media ALLOWS us to hear) are idiotic and senseless.

Sarah Palin is a MORON!

Go, Obama, Go!!!

So Robert, (2:03),

How do you really feel about women, this "Lipstick" routine is getting a little old, so what's your shadeof lipstick?

Get real people, stop the cat fights!

Helena Shaw's comment is priceless. Do a search for Helena Shaw's comment

Ummm well good thing her button is not on the trigger- although I never agree with President Bush- he did make a good call in telling Isreal we will NOT support a Pre-emptive strike on Iran due to the instability it would cause (to say the least). So if Sarah Palin was in office- we wouldn't second guess Israel and would be further stretching our overburdened forces to fight in Iran… possibly kicking off WWIII???
I feel bad for Sarah Palin because she is going to be the scapegoat for the failure of this ticket- and I honestly feel she bit off far more than she could chew and had no idea until it was too late. Be that what it may—- McCain/Palin is not what our country needs right now or ever.

Obama/Biden 08

Whoopdedo.

Dick Cheney sounds more balanced
than this minnow from Alaska.

Why do we, The United States of America, NEED Israel as an ally ?

What is this fool talking about! Can someone ask her what cloud is she on?

Would someone please tell me why I should even re-consider voting for McCain/Palin? Some answers, please. If you need to go "find some and get back" to me later, go ahead. I understand you may need some time to find some specific ones.

In the meantime, I am off for my Palin "foreign policy experience." Going to my ninth country, just to visit! Oh, wait, that means I have so much more "foreign policy experience" than Palin!

Apparently her meeting with AIPAC went stunningly well for ISRAEL.

She is not qualified to hold office, someone who will not question the actions of another nation is not strong enough a leader to run the United States.

McCain left his wife Carol, and 3 kids for a roll in the hay with Cindy Lou. Yes, Cindy Lou got the man, but she didn't get the prize.

His first wife won because she was able to raise three kids alone, and hold her head high with dignity. Yes, John pays for her medical bills, but he should pay for a whole lot more. He gave her two houses, and left her in the dust.

Shame on John, and shame on Cindy Lou for cheating with a married man.

In Novemeber, I will say no thanks to John and his cohorts, no thanks to John and his trophy wife and trophy VP. The man is not a hero, but a fraud.

good guys…bad guys…baddies?

President Palin, you sound like Monica!

We love you Sarah!

Both Palin and McCain make Bush look like a genius!

Mannn… I never thought I'd say that!

OBAMA '08!

Anyone know how much money has Obama recieved for his Pres Campaign from Goldman Sachs? nearly $700,000.00….
Nice
Why are CNN Pundits allowed to spread lie after blatant lie?
CNN – ALL BIAS. ALL BULL

Where's the story of Biden shutting out the press from his meeting with Georgia's President? Where's the story of all his STUPID responses to Katie??????? His gaffs of the campaign trail?
Where's the ad about his previous brain aneurysms and possible brain damage as reason for his stupid gaffs?

Her answers to questions sound like the ones you hear in a beauty pageant when the contestants are trying to appear intelligent.

Oh, wait…

Sarah Palin is uninformed and naive when it comes to national or international policy, lying on energy supply to US 3% T 20%, WHAT ABOUT BRIDGE AND ROAD TO NOWHERE? Sarah's answers yesterday shows inexperience, incompetent to be great nation VP whether is questions on Isreal, Iran, Russia, Iraq, Pakistan etc…it was like listening to my grandma tells bedtime stories.

It is "obvious" you don't understand. If you believe in a simplistic good vs. evil argument, you're as dense as the current administration on the Middle East.

No, they are not our closest ally. They had information on the 9/11 attacks before it happened and they did not share their intel with us. Either they didn't share it with us or the administration allowed the attack to happen

She is dumb. Plain and simple.

“It is obvious to me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are.”

Yes it is, Cariboo Barbie. It's obvious to us too. That's while you'll be sent packing back to Alaska come November.

Kevin I LUV U

War with Iran: 3 trillion dollars
War with Russia: 9 trillion dollars
Purchase of U.S. by China and Middle East: priceless.

Somethings money can't buy.

For everything else, there's the national debt.

@ watching closely – The GOP is doing this. But keep in mind that Palin does not fully support women's rights either.

Republicans, you can look yourself in the mirror and say that she is better than Huckabee and Romney!
Now folks in all seriousness I know she would like to be President but she actually makes GW Bush look Brilliant! Please middle states of the US cut it out! She is hot, she has drive, but I get scared when I think of her in front of the UN!
Another vote for Non Erratic Obama/Biden in 08!

How much money has Obama recieved for his Pres Campaign from Goldman Sachs? nearly $700,000.00
Nice
Why are CNN Pundits allowed to spread lie after blatant lie?
CNN – ALL BIAS. ALL BULL

Where's the story of Biden shutting out the press from his meeting with Georgia's President? Where's the story of all his STUPID responses to Katie??????? His gaffs of the campaign trail?
Where's the ad about his previous brain aneurysms and possible brain damage as reason for his stupid gaffs?

Some refer to Sarah Palin as a "quick study". Well, someone tell her to go back to school and study.

She has no clue about anything.

On experience: Bush has the most experience of all. Should we keep him a little longer? How about Cheney??

If ignorance is bliss… she must be in heaven.

THIS IS NO LONGER "CUTE"

She should think… & blink.. but really think sometimes before she speaks…

-V

THIS WOMAN IS JUST PLAIN SCARY!

for a 72yr old man's decision to have this CLUELESS EX-BEAUTY QUEEN a hairs breath away from the presidency is even SCARIER!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

ONLY OBAMA/BIDEN ARE THE TRUE LEADERS IN THIS RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how come we've never had a Jewish President or V.P.?

Everyone second guesses the US. So the US should feel free to second guess everyone else in return. Thats how the world works. And….. goodguys/badguys? A VP hopeful should be a little better than that.

“It is obvious to me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are.” does this sound Bush-like or is it just me.

Oh dear, looks like she got out of the attic again…

Where are the men in white suits when you need 'em?

Why are CNN Pundits allowed to spread lie after blatant lie?
CNN – ALL BIAS. ALL BULL

Where's the story of Biden shutting out the press from his meeting with Georgia's President? Where's the story of all his STUPID responses to Katie??????? His gaffs of the campaign trail?
Where's the ad about his previous brain aneurysms and possible brain damage as reason for his stupid gaffs?

Do we really want another trigger happy person in the White House?

I'm Jewish and have been dedicated to the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel for many years. The choice in this election could not be clearer. If we care about peace, we vote for Obama.

IF THIS TWO CLOWN GET ELECTED THE NATION WOULD BE AT WAR BY SPRING OF 2009. THEY WANT TO FIGHT RUSSIA, IRAN, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN AND LETS NOT FORGET THAT MCCAIN ALREADY DECLARED SPAIN AN ADVERSARY. BY 2010, CANADA WOULD HAVE TO CLOSELY PROTECT IT BORDERS FROM AMERICAN DEFECTS.

I guess she didn't learn anything from her "speed dating" at the UN.

Palin is right on the money. We can't afford to lose our closest ally in the Mid-east … And Iran should be wiped off the map. No brainer for True Americans.

To answer YES!!!

Her answer would better fit your attempt at justification if she was representing Israel, but seeing as how she is running to be OUR Vice President, I would counter with a big, fat NO!!!

We DO NOT let other countries, even Israel, decide our security policy, unchecked no less. To do so would be utterly MORONIC!

What did we expect from a woman who went to four different colleges in five years? Did we expect a expert? Not from the Republicans, all they need is a 'R' next to their name. No experience necessary.

Many people here say we can't second guess a sovereign nation. So that does that mean we should immediately begin pulling our troops from Iraq since that is what they have asked and they are sovereign?

Palin = Epic Failure

"we are in a race between education and catastrophe"

I thought Mr. McCain would be a terrible President to beging with, and he has proven me right by his choice of a running mate. How did she get elected in Alaska, with her poor communication skills? It doesn't say much about the intelligence in Alaska does it?

Thinking of the prospect of having more of the same: Look back, where we are, and think how much damage a president can do to the nation per year, … or even in a few months. Can't afford to take more.

Time to hit the books Sarah. Why don't you see if you can find some of the those old library books you like banning so well.

Firing people who don't support you even if they are from your own party is not called shaking up or going against your party or whatever else you want to call it. It's called vindictivenss.
God help us all if this woman is a heart beat away from the presidency.

Another war monger. Maybe we should attack Russia from her back yard. We should second guess any country who attacks another country. What is wrong with this womans thought process? This is Bush thinking all the way. She would have us fighting on as many fronts as she has lipstick.

question… yes

disagree… yes

But second guess another sovereign nation? Since when. The USA would never allow itself to be second guessed.

Stupid question.

You are with us or against us. You can not see that there are two valid sides to any disagreement. That is why we are in such dire trouble. No compromise, no respect for dissenting views.

WATCHING PALIN ANSWER QUESTIONS ON FOREIGN POLICY IS LIKE WATCHING A CHICKEN LOOKING AT A WRIST WATCH … SHE HASN'T GOT A CLUE. THE WORLD MUST THINK WE ARE A NATION OF IDIOTS IF THIS IS THE BEST WE CAN OFFER FOR NATIONAL OFFICE.

Awwwwww Lay off Sarah!!!!! I hate people that criticize Sarah just because she has no clue and talks out of her butt. I think she is a smart woman. It just so happens that politics isnt her field of expertise, is all.

Lets for a while accept this lie that Iran can possibly wipe out isreal. What does it have to do with America. Is Isreal cares about the U.S economy? Is israeil a part of U.S allies in Iraq or afghanistan. What about Vietnam, are they supported U.S . Please show me an incident where Israeil helped U.S in one of its crisis.
In Isreail there are living people who like everybody else have the right to live and raise their childern. But does it mean that it should be included in the U.S presidentail debates?

Do you people posting even know what "second guessing" means? She is saying we should not be getting forcefully involved in Israel's business. She said we can voice our opinions and concerns if we have a problem with something Israel is doing, but if Israel decides they need to bomb Iran because they fear a nuclear attack, you think we should impose our will on Israel to prevent them doing so? To what end? Going to war with Israel or should we just wait until Iran carries out what it's been calling for for decades and nukes them? Seriously, I'm really confused as to why there is any problem with what Palin said.

…and yes, there is most definitely good and evil in the world, you libs all love to use that term when demonizing Bush. Calling for the complete extermination of an entire race of people is evil any way you slice it. You bleeding hearts should realize that.

McCan't thought that by putting up an attractive woman, that people would not really listen to what was coming out of her mouth…WRONG!

Just what we need in the White House, a moose-hunting, shoot-from-the-hip Barbie Doll.

To all the people making fun of Sarah Palin, You need to be afraid, because she has more on the ball and more experience than your presidential candidate and that's a fact that should really scare you. Comparing her to Biden is like comparing Obama to McCain, but she is running for VP not President. I guess that's why all you can do is tomock her, but the joke is on you.

I have to respectfully disagree with Governor Palin. Israel would not even think about doing anything without consulting the United States. They have never really acted unilaterally in foreign actions. We should be working together with our NATO, Israel, Arab and European allies, much like we did in Desert Storm, in a united coalition if needed. Not allowing Israel to go off on a crazy bombing campaign.

I like that phrase too, let's try it again.

One house

One car

One wife

One man

Obama For America.

I wonder what crisis McCain can come up with to delay the VP debate…She makes Biden look like Einstein!

And the whole "good guys/ bad guys" comment….yikes…What is she 12?

This woman may know Alaska but I think her world ends at it's border and I'm pretty sure she should go back there and not gum up the national airwaves anymore…

"NEVER TRUST ANYONE." Go watch Damages. Such a naive person!

She apparently also said in the interview that the worst thing Dick Cheney ever did was shoot his friend with a gun (see Ed Schulz show).

Wow, looks like the Mclame camp needs to lock her back up, lol. As a independant, her interviews, and other Mclame activities over the last few days allowed me to make a decision. Go Obama/Biden

And here it was revealed by the White House that Bush "told" Israel not to attack Iran. Israel was informing Bush, not asking permission, but second-guess them he did and said "don't do it."

Gov. Palin, what say you to that?

Once again sarah looked confused as she desperately searched for the correct answer that she had been coached on. She is an empty headed puppet who is being led around by the mccain camp. The sad part about it for all women is that this woman will be cited for decades as the reason women should not be in politics.

AS AN AMERICAN JEW, I DON'T EVEN WANT

THIS IGNORANT WOMAN EVEN SAYING THE

WORDS ISRAEL OR AMERICA.

Sorry, last post meant to say "It doesn't make what the nation does, right."

Well, at least we know what happened to Xena Princess Warrior. She may have retired from movie making but she is swinging away in politics. This woman is a nut job BIG TIME. Never second guess someones actions. I guess if they blow another country off the face of the map and they said, "oh, they threatended us" would be a good enough explanation for her. McCain is a hot head and as we can all see he found the best running mate he could….another hot head just with lipstick this time.

The heat tiles are coming off…

To Yes!!!

You completely missed Palin's point…..

She is saying that Israel can do whatever they want, but…

if Israel decides to invade Iran, the US should not second guess them!!

So what you are saying is that if Russia attacks Georgia, the US should not second guess Russia!!

I really hope people are paying attention…she makes me very uneasy!

I wouldn't let that caribou catcher walk my dog!

Wake up America!

There's nothing cool about being dumb!

She didn't know what she was saying. She said we shouldn't second-guess Israel, but when Katie Couric turned it around on her, she was all "well, we, blah, blah, blah"…she was tripping all over herself. Must not be room for too many thoughts in her head, so she keeps bumping into the few thoughts she has and regurgitating them again.

VP debate Thursday, October 2 Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. Gwen Ifill PBS moderator.

Q for Palin: You have repeatedly said “I am ready to serve”. Can you please give specifics.
A from Palin: You can ask me for specifics and if you do I’ll get back to you.

Palin interview summary:
First interview, with ABC's Charlie Gibson, she blanked out when asked about the Bush doctrine.
Her sit-down with Fox's Sean Hannity was a GOP infomercial.
Latest face-to-face, with Katie Couric of CBS, she looked like a high-kid trying to B.S. her way through a book report.

Well… are we okay with other nations second guessing us?

It is called sovereingty, folks.

Bush may have blocked an Israeli attack on Iran. Did he just second guess them. Sec. Rice has called the settlements a potential impediment to peace.. did she also second guess Israel. Sarah please.

To John who asked (off topic): "Question to the Obama Supporters:

I thought Barrack Obama is Patriotic, I just notice that he is using A320 aircraft for his campaign. What happen to Boeing made Aircraft."

Answer: I think his Boeing had mechanical trouble TWICE recently, and one of those incidents was potentially quite serious.

If your Chevy catches on fire twice, and then your Ford SUV rolls over, is it unpatriotic to try a Toyota for a change??

Her mode of "thinking" and the standard GOP mode of thinking is incredibly dangerous and reckless.

@ Yes

Of course each nation is sovereign and can do whatever it wants. We do it all the time. It doesn't make what the nation do right.

AND second guess what a nation does, that doesn't mean the nation that is going to do something is going to stop. But it does tell that ally that we don't think they should do that and if they do, we may not back them up.

By saying that we should never second guess Israel, it is tantamount to telling Israel that no matter what they do we have their back – even if it means they start WW III… we back them up. That is irresponsible and foolish.

She is SO SEXY! We should never second guess Palin because she is obviously a good guy.

Personally, after all the hatefulness spewed during the Republican Convention it would be interesting to hear how she really feels about Israel. On second thought, no thanks.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am pro-life, pro-Israel (which does not mean I am anti-Palestine or any other nation that is not a friend of Israel – unless they attack Israel unfairly in any shape or form). I believe that Israel has a right to defend herself against nations that are hostile to her. That said, I do not support Gov. Palin, Sen. McCain or the Republican party in general – even though I did in the past. To get to the point that I wish to make: Only pride or denial would cause anyone to say or believe that Gov. Palin is actually fit to be Vice President and ready to be President. I am beginning to feel so sorry for her. I literally can't sit through her interviews. It makes me cringe. She probably would have done better as the person that she was before she was programmed by the McCain camp. It is truly sad.

Anyway, I look forward to the Democrats winning the White House and picking up the reigns to a long and difficult recovery from the mess, on all fronts, that the Republicans have put this country into. And make no bones about it, a great task awaits the next President.

Scare Technique! When nothing works and nothing to offer to the public SCARE them to the death! Try to repeat the scene from 2004 Election!!

She scares me to the most every time she opens her mouth in front of Camera. She should have read the news that came out within two days that Bush rejected Israel's Plan to bomb Iran's 'Nuclar' sites!

Oh Well, you dont have to be informed to run for VP and heartbeat away President of USA.

Wake Up America and Pack this clone along with her Mentor!

This woman is totally clueless. Check the US Naval ship that was constantly attacked by them. Over 3 hour of airplane strafing and bombing. By the way the American flag was on that ship. Radio calls
didn't matter they continued to attack.

Now I know where the undisclosed location was…… Alaska

I am an avid feminist and I believe in affirmative action, but there MUST be a basic level of capability in order to promote someone into the VP position. I would even live with her fundie views if she were experienced, well-informed and able to formulate a sentence that actually answers the question asked.

I agree with Watching C.- the way she has been used by McCain is appalling! She is nowhere near able to be VP. I know women I work with who would be more capable than Sarah Self-im-Palin.

There's 'dumb', and then there's 'scary dumb'. America, meet Scary Dumb.

THAT'S IT! I CAN'T STAND TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD FROM THIS BOBBLEHEAD BARBIE! SHE IS NO MORE THAN BUSH IN A SKIRT AND SOME LIPSTICK! AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

TOTAL INCOHERENT BABBLING!

HOW COULD ANYONE TAKE THIS WOMAN SERIOUSLY?

THERE IS NOBODY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess we know where McCain/Palin stand: bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!

Thanks, but no thanks Gov. Palin.

I feel dizzy, I feel dizzzzy, I feel oh so DIZZZZZZZYYYY. The Rethugs are a funny lot…funnier that John Stewart, SNL, Letterman, and the Tonight show. The really sad news is there are people who are going to vote for these CLOWNS. God help us all.

OH MY GOD!!!!

Please watch over our country and allow us to have sane leadership with Barack and Biden.

This woman is a nut case and I ask you all to remember she will be 1 heart beat away from the Presidency.

Hey Sarah…………I guess BOOK BANNING seems like a very BAD IDEA to you NOW.

Girlfriend, You need HELP!

Can somebody call the police for the bad guys,… please.

That's the EXACT SAME THING she said in her interview with Charlie Gibson. This lady, although very talented, is a broken record we don't need playing in the whitehouse!

I think Palin very much fits in a job teaching kindergarten kids who is "good guy"/"bad guy"; where to hunt for moose; how to see another country from backyard…

Other than these, what is her qualification? Cannot put a sentence together in a semantic manner; cannot think right without script or without mentioning McCain the supervisor…

Grow up gullible voters, don't be blinded by the delusion

Foregin policy – not so much. Wasn't Sarah chosen the VP candidate to keep conservative Republicans on board? It doesn't seem that worked out either.

I am still laughing at the entire Katty Couric interview.

If the Republicians still think Sarah Palin is the real deal, they should play this over and over again.

By the way, If she was elected Govenor of Alsaka , what does that say about the other canidates and the people who voted for her

WHAT? This VP candidate, one step from oval office, is unable to complete a cohesive sentence. God help us all if she ends up in White House.

This woman is so clueless. Half of her conservations are jibberous nonsense words noone really understands what she is saying. She is a thorn in the Republican party. The GOP needs to dump her quick.

It's absolutely amazing to me; I am a physician and the things that I hear at the water-cooler are insulting.

The women who call Gov. Palin "Caribou Barbie," know abosolutely nothing about politics themselves (and look as if THEY would chase cars).

The men who insult her (are usually MORE feminine than she), at my job anyway.

The things that they say about Gov. Palin (at my hospital), would be "reasons for termination" if they were said about another employee.

People, stick to the issues, stop the cat fights!

Scary!

Please make it stop! The sad thing is that people will still vote for McCain-Palin even though the two are clearly too incompetent to lead.

Unfortunately for the rest of us in this once prosperous country the same people who voted for Bush two times haven't magically dissapeared and are (for the most part) dumb enough to bring us more destruction.

McCain is way too erratic and reckless and Palin… well… I'll just leave it that.

GO FIGURE, A POLITICIAN STUPIDER THAN BUS & MCBUSH.

Sarah Panic is not the woman for the job. If she were a man and said the very same thing, she wouldn't be the man for the job.

The McCain camp handled her stupidly and now she is paying the price. They used her just as they will use the American people. John wants to be president just because. He doesn't have a reason.

Obama/Biden 08

She is honest.

Can not accuse her of faking it or pandering.

She speaks her mind.

It is what we have been asking for. Now we attack a candidate for candor.

A true REFORMER.

I love this woman.

We should always second guess anything that will put us into war. We didn't second guess our president and look what happened. palin, as a staunch Obama supporter, do yourself a favor and just keep quiet cause it pains me to hear you.

Black and White which would you rather have as your leader. Its not Democrat or Republican just remember what you chose is what you get for at least 4 years, better be prepared one way or another and no throwing fits when something goes wrong with either candidate.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the person that just a few months ago the republican party stated for 4 days the "loved as the best VP pick and someone who shares our beliefs". Take that into account when you vote on Nov 4.

Sherry from SC—-(who thinks McCain is prioritizing)

I feel sorry for people who can't make a decision with their head instead of the color of someone's skin. (your quote)

I'M GLAD YOU GET IT (my response to your quote)

now I get it

Lord – she sounds like Bush stumbling over her words…

She's just regurgitating McCain's stump speeches. Did her photo-op tour of the UN suddenly grant her the authority to dictate foreign policy on matters such as these?

Palin for President! Let’s deny the right of choice to rape victims! And let’s go to war with Iran! We love you Sarah!!!!

I think other world leaders want to see McCain and Palin win because it would be the doom of the US, especially if Palin were to take McCain's place should anything happen to him. Perhaps, Iran's Ahmadinejad may be right! Doom!

First of all, saying that we should never second-guess another country's intentions is naive, irresponsible, and just plain dumb. Second, it is quite clear that Palin knows nothing about Israel, Iran, or the Middle East generally. Instead of simple-mindedly labeling countries as "good guys" and "bad guys" what we need to do is understand where other countries are coming from, even if we disagree with them. Unless, of course, you just want to have endless wars and conflicts. Maybe she's just trying to bring about the Rapture and attacking Iran is part of God's plan…

I don't believe she's anymore doltish than Joe Biden–and let's not forget who is only two heartbeats away from the Presidency–NANCY PELOSI!!! Ugh…talk about a travesty in the making!

As long as Nancy is third in line–anybody in the top two slots will do.

We should be second-guessing OUR OWN POLITICIANS . . . Palin is unable to separate her biblical reverence for Israel with policy decisions . . .

. . . .wow, if McCain and Palin get elected, the Neo-Cons are going to have 2 new poodles to play with.

Country men and women let us face it; this woman need help and she need it now. Way to go John McCain. Country second Sarah First.

Quick somebody wake up Dan Quayle!!!

Listening to her speak makes me dizzy!!!

Dear Friends:
Palin is not Latino and in Alaska there are hardly any Latino or African Americans for experience with these foreign issues. This is per
smoke signals from Alaska.

"Don't speak." My lord…painful to see, hear…just painful. How in the world was she elected Mayor let alone Govenor? I know 2 year olds who communicate more clearly. Biden's just going to have to show up to his debate and smile. Palin will destroy herself.

Why is this woman subjected to idiot questions and then attacked for giving the most reasonable response to those ridiculous questions?

What IS the Bush doctrine? No one knows and no one can answer that.

Second guessing OTHER nations? What Nation would accept such a doctrine?

I WANT TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER.

THEN I RECALL JUST HOW

INDIGNANT, MEAN-SPIRITED, SARCASTIC, SNIDE, AND INSULTING

SHE WAS DURING HER VERY FIRST NATIONALLY TELEVISED SPEECH.

this lady is clueless, why is she still sticking to that " i could see Russia from my house foreign policy thing. first of all, governors are OF ANY STATE are not allowed to enter trade and foreign policy talks with any foreign country. check it out its in the constitution, Moosewoman doesn't even know her powers as governor

Are you kidding? I am left with such ANGER that the REPUGS camp would compare her with ANY woman of 2008! AFTER her 3rd (JOKE OF A) interview with Couric, if anyone say she can be all the things McCain has LIED about, they were going to vote Repub anyway, or you attend Palin's type of church were the preacher who prayed (over Sarah Palin) and cast out witches and witchcraft, they are a part of the Republicans better vote this way family, determined NOT to vote for a Black man (with Presidential Credentials) SOMETHING Sarah DOES not have or they are very SIMPLE MINDED with no COMMON sense.

Obama/Biden 08

This would be funny if it weren't so life-and-death serious.

God help us all if this woman is ever in charge.

VP a heartbeat from the presidency, This is way way beyond her abilities or Pay grade. A senile old man with health problems and a know nothing Vice president is a recipe for disaster.

I THINK THE WHICH DOCTOR WAS A FRAUD,

BECAUSE THE WITCHES GOT AWAY WITH HER BRAIN.

SHE HAS TO BE THE STUPIDEST WOMAN IN POLITICS.

OR MAYBE JUST THE STUPIDEST, PERIOD.

smells like pandering.

keep talking, your the best persuader to vote Obama.

Another War Mongerer!!!

Where is my Hard Earned Money going (in the name of Security)???

Dear watching closely – The GOP is doing this. But keep in mind that Palin does not fully support women's rights either.

This whole interview was distrubing, I second guess, my parents, wife, kid's and I even question God's. The best answer would have been "Any threat to Israel is a threat to the U.S, and we know how to deal with threats." Maybe I should run…….

CRAM TIME SARAH……………….ONLY 1 WEEK LEFT BEFORE THE BIG EXAM………………………. Noooooooooooo booo hooooing.

Study hard………….Or write some of the answers on your hand.

Come Thursday, October 2………….Sarah Palin will make a complete FOOL of her self…………..and John McCain.

No person or country, even our own, is beyond reproach.

Unbelievable but there it is – she said it, and she could be a vice-President if 44% of the country has their say. Yes, Israel is a close ally in the Middle East, but we should not follow their lead unquestionably as she initially said – since when does a country of 300 million differ to one of six million in the name of "security"? And our "closest ally"? – what does that say to the Iraqi government we're sinking billions of dollars into?

I might take her more seriously if she could label the "mideast" countries on a map…

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 – watch the debate tonight folks!

War with Iran: 3 trillion dollars
War with Russia: 9 trillion dollars
Purchase of U.S. by China and Middle East: priceless.

Somethings money can't buy.

For everything else, there's the national debt.

I know the people of alaska are ashamed. Now the entire world knows that the cold weather there has freezed their brains and the abiltity to think has been frostbitten beyond repair.

Otherwise, how could they have elected this woman as governor?

What is this owman talking about?

It's almost like trying to interpret your dogs barking.

We're a sovereign state, and although Israel is our friend, we have to take a step back and ask ourselves if we should support everything they do.

That's just being sensible.

she is correct you can never know what israel will do to protect its nation…..UN FORTUNATELY THAT IS PART OF THE PROBLEM SUPPORTING ISRAEL… TO NO END….. israel is not the 51 st state of AMERICA NEITHER IS europe's georgia… america needs to mine itself AS IN COUNTRY FIRST

Are you serious???? And this person is running for the 2nd most powerful position in the WORLD?? I'm sure everyone around the globe is watching and wondering….how in THE heck this race is even close??!!! This is a complete JOKE! When will America wake up and stop letting these leeches destroy our country???????

Palin is living proof of the danger in ignorance

Wow…I can totally see why McCain has tried to keep her from talking to the press. That was the smartest decision he's made this entire campaign. Too bad she could stay sequestered until Nov. 5th. This is awful! A Miss Teen USA contestant could give a better answer than that!

Mars is coming out with a new candy bar McPain. Nuttier than any other bar…

Why not? America is not owned by Israel.

Iran has continually stated that they wanted to wipe Israel off the map. They should have our support to decide what is right for "their" future. Obama has stated repeatedly his dislike of Israel until he started campaigning for POTUS. We can't afford to have him as head of our National Security.

I am a strong supporter of Israel, our ally.
Obama will make a much more clever diplomat than all these simplistic "bad guys-good guys" people. It's Bush all over again: a simplistic, uneducated, view of things, sort of a cowboy movie for the 12 year old mentality. Those views have driven our beloved America almost off the cliff. It's about time we slam the breaks and turn back to what we were, before we become unrecognizable.

McCon says he is suspending campaign to save the crisis. Hours later he is been interviewed by CBS. He arrives at washington 24 hours after he claimed the nation was coming to an end and he was to save the crisis. His arrival at washington derailed negatiation. It turned out that he never read both proposals. In the meeting with the with Bush and Obama he was mute. If anyone votes for this fool after the events of the last 24 hrs, you seriously need to have your brain examined. Also lets not forget the Palin interview on CBS

So Sarah Palin is omniscient and can see who the "good guys" are and who the "bad guys" are. The last thing the United States need is another moral absolutist in the White House.

Don't like the idea of Republicans in power, but thanks No thanks an Obama president.

Palin will learn. It took over one year for Obama to learn his stump speeches. Don't you remember how he used to stumble on every single issue?

So in other words if Isreal wants to attack Iran. Then we should attack as well… No questions asked. Smart……… so now she knows what the Bush Doctrine gives the president the power to bestow up this nation.

I'm a 53 year old college graduate white male. I'm a democrat.

Why is CNN not carrying the whole story on Sarah Palin? Why are you not showing the Palin footage of the minister laying hands on her & praying for her; the same minister that participated in hunting for modern day witches in Kenya. This minister invoked witch hunts while laying hands on Gov. Palin & praying for her. Why are you not showing this to anywhere close to the same extent that you showed the Rev Wright footage? It appears that you are intentionally not showing the Palin film.

Being accustomed to engaging in my own critical thinking process, as opposed to simply digesting talking points, it becomes crystal clear: this woman is in far over her head. Sad, very sad.

How much stupid is left in this lady? Just listen to her, she has no idea what is going on in the world. Can anyone imagine her VP and heaven forbid Pres?

Every time she opens her mouth i am scared sh**less. She CANNOT be a heartbeat away from the presidency!!!! Other than rightwing christian conservatives who think she is a gift from GOD-I dont see anyone with a head on thier shoulders supporting her. All of you disaffected HIllary supporters-go beat a hole into your wall, get over it ,and vote Obama. She is NOT on your side. She is dangerous!

"good guys and bad guys"?!
She sounded like a 13 year old talking about conflicts in middle school. How can people still think that she is a good candidate?!

McCain did Palin and every other woman a disservice! It is very disappointing.

Obama/Biden '08

So that's America's new policy? There are good guys and bad guys?

Surely you would feel differently if you were minding your own business and one day people came into your lands and threw you out of your homes… Wouldn't THEY be the 'bad guys' then?

Palin's world view is SO skewed and SO provincial it's frightening!!!

Palin needs to go back to school and study some Middle Eastern history!

Obama/Biden ———- NOW!

This kind of comment is what you'd expect from a religious fanatic such as Sarah Palin.

Clearly America she is mentally unqualified, and it would be dangerous to have her in any kind of high-level Federal Executive Branch position.

its funny how mccain supporters get defensive when mccain makes huge mistakes. Get over it!!! your candidate needs to wake up and just concede, because he has nothing to offer us that is worthwhile.

Holy train wreck batman…shut this women up!

Great. You won a few Jewish votes, and you just pissed off the entire nation of Iran. Idiot, idiot, idiot.

Well the pitbull with lipstick just showed she doesn't know a thing. she is a shoot first and ask questions later. We have had enough of that. That is why we are in the shape we are in. plz somebody put a muzzle on her. she is one BIG JOKE. if anybody watched the interview with Katie it was terrible. No wonder they don't let her out by herself. Please America lets elect someone for REAL CHANGE. ELECT OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT AND SEND this pitbull puppet back to alaska.

OBAMA/BIDEN

Actually, we should — I mean, since when are we supposed to be Israel's Shabbos Goy? Who came up with that idea? Is it in the bible? Is it the divine plan for the US to carry the whims of Israel?

That's precisely why I hate the likes of Joe Lieberman – He puts country first, 'cept its Israel rather than the US

Never second-guess?? C'mon America, let's get this right! PLEASE!

Obama in '08!

The good guys, the bad guys…

What the heck? Her answers are so simplistic and these issues are not.

I wish this women would just sut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it written somewhere that "Isreal is infallible"? Did I miss something?

Someone needs to put a sock in her mouth!!! This woman has absolutely no business talking about anything to do with foreign policy.
Just because she can see Russia from her house doesn't mean she has any experience……if that's the case then a lot of other people in Alaska should be running for VP……..

It's alarming that she just sees the world as good guys vs bad guys, instead of trying to understand peoples differences of opinion & the root of a conflict.

btw, she said the same thing about georgia I believe. That if any NATO ally goes to war, she will follow – no questions asked.

The world is not black & white sarah!

WHen I first read a quote by this person, I felt absolutely certain that the quote was filled with typos. Then I heard her speak (or attempt to).

Wow, try to imagine this airhead being handed the reigns to the country if something were to happen to the 72 year old McCain.

(She makes Dan Quail look like a genious!!!)

OCTOBER 2, 2008……………………..THE TRUTH ABOUT SARAH PALIN WILL BE REVEALED FOR EVERYONE IN AMERICA.

THIS FOLKS THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION WORTH HAVING.

SHE IS A DOCUMENTED, VIDEOED IMBECILE.

Israel is a sovereign country. We don't protect our borders. We should. They have the right to protect their borders. Period!! We do too, if we ever get anyone in office with enough chutzpah to enforce it.

My God…This woman is DANGEROUS. What a bubble head!

Derick
Toronto, Ontario

This woman's simplicity of brain function really really worries me. I think that she would be the worst thing that happened to America since GWB. They are one and the same.

OMG somebody please shoot me, quickly! I can't take anymore of this cowboy crap! Isreal is our allie but they aren't angels either! Another holocaust!!! OMG what century does this woman live in? She needs to jump off the Bush train of thought and realize that Iranian speak english a little differently than we do, when they speak of "down with" or "death to" another nation they don't mean in a literal sense! They're comment is usually aimed at a lifestyle not the people of a nation! Come on wake up America!

So says 'The Moose Killa from Wasilla'!

You mock Sarah Palin for no reason other than you worship Obama. It's incredibly sad and frustrating to citizens who do care about world politics.

O'bama would like to send our soldiers into Pakistan to hunt for Bin Laden, and this does not "scare" or "frighten" you?

Pakistan has stood firm as our ally and we have worked hard to forge a relationship with them. For O'bama to storm into their country with guns blazing would be disasterous. Pakistan not only has nuclear missles, the will use them at the drop of a hat against India and Israel.

Instead of creating a smoke screen around O'Bama and deflecting the facts with mirrors. Use an ounce of your brains to figure out that O'Bama threatens the security of this country more so than the V.P. select who would be revered by millions of women across the globe who are to afraid to stand up against men of their own contries who threaten nuclear holucaust against other countries.

Definitely a prime example of buying a pig in a poke!

I really think someone should ask her to locate Israel on a map. (Hint to Sarah – Israel does not border Alaska.)

We should be second guessing Mexico's actions and policies- not Isreal's.

What nation has the right to second guess another?

Would rather have another 4 years of Bush .. than 4 years of a Palin Presidency.

Not a convincing orator on foreign affairs. Wasn't Sarah the girl the McCain campaign hand-picked to keep the conservative Republicans in line. Tthat didn't seem to work out either.

Good guys and bad guys. Spoken like a true Republican. She sees everything in black or white because she has never been out of Alaska.

She knows nothing about the world and doesn't understand that there are lots of grey zones that she might have to juggle with, in fact, she doesn't even know that they exist!!

This VP nomination is another McCain joke!

She's scares me sick, if she was smarter, she'd be really really dangerous. Thank god she's an idiot and thank god Americans are getting over the novelty of Sarah Palin and seeing her for what she's worth.

This woman gives me a knot in my stomach . . .

The same feeling I got when Bush was campaigning in 2000

oooooooh I just felt a shiver down my spine! This woman is not only vastly unprepared for this job but she is quite DANGEROUS!

I know some will still close their eyes and vote for this ticket because they cannot vote for Obama, but I say to them please consider our fate if these two win! We may not make it to 2012…shhh0T I am so worried right now it not even funny!

It is obvious to me that all sides here are the bad guys.

I feel kinda bad for Palin. I believe she's a smart woman. The McCain Campaign has paraded her around like a showhorse, and have basically told her to shut her trap, stand back and look pretty, show a little leg from time to time, and please please don' t answer any questions. To all American Women: We should be appalled at this.

Ok, now how about Russia? Or are you a flip-flopper and selective in your naive judgement? You are truely a McMoron lady!!! fyi; Hows that investigation into all of your crimes going?

On a side note: McCain and his crooks have offered as a plan for the economic crisis that includes tax breaks for the rich. In essence, let the poor people bail out the rich people when they fail, and give the rich people more tax breaks. Robbing from the poor and giving to the rich. Can we afford to continue to offer welfare to the extremely rich while the Republicans break our bank accounts to do it?

I say no!! Get every single last Republican out of washington, they are a disease!!

THE REPUBLICANS LIKE THERE LEADERS DUMB. LAST 8 YEARS AND NOW MCCAIN/PALIN………

OBAMA…….08

She is a joke! Imagine if "gorgeous" was in the White House? WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! I cannot wait for her first debate, but then they will probably want a list of questions so that way the answers can be written down for her….otherwise we will see that dumb and confused look on her face……..again.

The only thing this prom queen is "Shaking up" is our foreign relations. She is the prime reason that there should be a waiting period before purchasing guns.

Palin and McCain what ever you are drinking give us some so we will be on the same sheet of stupidity tooooooo. This is crazy and if you Republican don't talk with McSane about her you are doommmmmed. She is off her rockersssssssssssssssssssssssss. Go back to Alaska and look at Russia and Iran from your bathroom.

Comedy at it's best. Sarah Palin is a JOKE.

What is the criticism here?

Does ANY country – including the US- accord other countries, even allies the RIGHT to second-guess them?

This is standard fare- each nation is sovereign and does not allow OTHER nations the right to dictate their policy- especially when it concerns security.

This woman is dangerously stupid.
America wake up for the love of God!
She doesn't know what she is talking about.
She doesn't understand well,ANYTHING!
Israel is our ally-yes as many other countries are but if one of our allies says look U.S.,I'm going to bomb Iran,or some other country we should not ask why and just say okay-go ahead do it?
This is insane!Our allies asked for proof(which we later found to be lies) to bomb Iraq before they said okay,we've got your back.
If countries did this,the world would be wiped out.
We should help protect Israel and they protect themselves but without question?THIS PROVES SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND FOREIGN POLICY AT ALL!.PALIN NEEDS TO STEP DOWN AS SHE HERSELF KNOWS SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND!
This is sickeningly frightning and the republicans know it but want to win so bad,they'll go along with putting up this candidate.

wow! she is amazing!! siiiike! i mean…. for one, i notice that for the 3 interviews she's had thus far, she always repeats herself more than three time in a row….. and she got a degree in journalism?? i dunno, that smells funny…. either she is just oblivious to world issues and reponds in a mechanic way, as if programmed, or i dunno what….. there is no explanation about her responses orther than SHE JUST DOESNT KNOW!
and how dare she go out talkin about we shouldnt second guess….. we are a dimocracy, and yes we shud back up israel…. but there has to be other solutions thatt can be searched or what not.
she is truly dumb!
mcshame, you're outa the game! take a nap homie!

I often thought we had a few more educated folks in the U.S. It seems our puppet master (Israel) has already conditioned our potential natioal leaders. America, you need to free yourself from the Israeli slavemaster. We don't owe this country a damm thing. Governor Palin is very confused about what's important, perhaps a bit more schooloing will do her good.

Before the Republican's picked her they had to know she was not very bright with what the country needs. I almost feel sorry for her. I think they set her up and she easily took the bait.

Palin is so blind on international relations. She is willing to give license for Israel to kill (more). Or is she going to send more innocent US troops to do the killing for Israel? No national should be given unconditional rights to launch attack on other nation without any justification. Palin is more dangerous then Mr. Bush. Palin does not have any understanding. That makes her the potential most dangerous person in power.

Sarah Palin is dangerously ignorant. Although Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to defend itself against attack it is our responsibility to encourage Israel to engage in diplomacy with their adversaries. I think it's a mistake to unilaterally support Israel on every issue. That should not be the U.S.'s role.

She is a joke I am sorry to have to say this. She was chosen for show only. The show is over and she must drop out before her debate with Biden. No one can hold him responsible for what happens to her in that debate. Another bad judgement on McCain's behalf. WoooooooooooooW

Anyone who saw the interview with Katie Couric on CBS and Sarah Palin and still believe Palin should be VP worries me. She doesn*t have a clue!!!! Her responses to the questions made absolutely no
sense!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Drivel. Complete DRIVEL! And yet, the neo-morons just eat it up! It seems the dumber you are, the more qualified you are to lead within the [R] party. It was proven to be so in 2000 and 2004 also.

Let's elect the smart ones this time. We haven't tried that since 1996; over a decade ago. Please vote for Obama/Biden. God gave us brains; let's try to use them to get out of the mess we're in.

Yeah …dont second guess Israel. Allow Israel to go after Iran like that is the best possible option. When will these repugnants realize that war is not the only solution to world situations. Im afraid that we would have more international conflicts if allow this mooseburger eater in the white house. Oh …a posible war with Russia. Holy cow! Im moving to Argentina

The only way Palin will make it through a debate with anyone, is that each question is given to her a week in advance so she can study the answer day and night. There can be no type changes in the questions.

Just to think, members of the media tried to blame her ignorance on her loss of confidence. I can't believe anyone thought this lady could be a substitute for Hillary.

Obama/Biden 08

It is always good to respect the opinions of all people but seriously, how can anyone take this woman seriously. She has been a VP candidate for one month and has still not had an unscripted meeting with reporters. Do you really want her to be a heartbeat from the Oval Office? Really? I understand that in your country many are born into political affiliations and vote for the party of their family without regard for the issues but, how, with all due respect, can anyone think Palin is qualifed? More frightening are those touting her to run for president in 2012. Its making more and more sense that the US is losing its world powers to Russia, China and a unifed EU.

WHAT DOES SHE THINK ABOUT ASTROPHYSICS ?

IF GIVEN THE QUESTION, SHE WOULD NO DOUBT

SAY "THEY ARE A GOOD FOOT BALL TEAM".

* * * AND YOU THOUGHT BUSH WAS STUPID !!!

It's just the opposite. America should never give Israel a blank check on anything. Israel has committed ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians, 1.3 million of whom remain stuck in refugee camps 41 years after end of 6 Days War. And America has gotten blamed for it, because of its support for Israel.

This is nuts. In fact its childish….we are not playing cowboys-and-indians.

Somebody gag this idiot and lock her up until after election day! I can't stand hearing about her or listening to her idiotic comments! She's a disaster waiting to happen and so is Mccain!

Sanity is a vote for Obama/Biden 08!!!! Be sane vote for real change!!

Israel needs to be watched – LIKE A HAWK!!!

Sarah Palin is apparently one of those Zionist Christians, right?!

This woman is obviously not ready to be VP. She needs to step down. McCain should be ashamed of himself for thinking so little of woman that he would pick someone like her.

She's ridiculous. Everything out of her mouth is clearly a regurgitation of what she's been told to say. And to make matters worse, in an effort to support her statements, she repeats herself 3 or 4 times. This VP candidate has no clear grasp on the complexity and sensitivity of the political climate in the Middle East. She's a joke. McCain should have selected the Florida governor.

Huh? You've got to be kidding me! Never second guess another country? What makes Israel so special that we can't second guess their actions? Now we see why McSame won't let his brilliant VP selection talk to the press. God save us from these people!

Never second guess Israel? Even if it means fighting a nuclear war? The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of our military told the Israeli's to calm down and Silly Sarah wants to unleash WW III.

This lady is not only uninformed but downright dangerous!

We can't have one silly old fool that's so confused he doesn't know where he's going from day to day and another silly liar who makes stuff up as she goes. Don't you wonder why they are shielding Palin from the press? Will you vote from someone that is engaging in "witch hunting" at her church and enemy hunting at home in Alaska?

At the moment I'm looking at some intelligent, if not very nuanced, comments from Sarah Palin, regarding Israel. I'm also seeing about 7 comments below, none of which contain a single intelligent thought, and most of which lack even coherent sentences. I'm worrying less and less about Sarah Palin, and more and more about the rest of the population.

I am ALMOST feeling sorry for Palin (empathesis on ALMOST!).

I didn't bother watching the FIXED Noise interview as they are so in the tank for McCain that it is ridiculous. Watching her other two interviews so far, her CBS interview is acually WORSE than her ABC interview. She hasn't drowned Katie by saying her name every other sentence but her answers show no understanding of how to construct a proper sentence. The substance of her answers are even worse!!! She is still on this kick that she is a knowledgeable on foriegn affairs because she lives next to Russia! WOW!!!

As much as I find fault with Palin, this is really more indicative of the type of person that McCain is. Country First??? Yeah right!

Question to the Obama Supporters:

I thought Barrack Obama is Patriotic, I just notice that he is using A320 aircraft for his campaign. What happen to Boeing made Aircraft.

Question to the McCain Supporters:
Did McCain just have the biggest un-Presidential lapses?

The woman is a MORON who speaks in BUMPER STICKERS…. can she make a simple, plain statement?

I would love to see the Americans say that other countries have the right to second guess US.

Palin was and is right- it is called sovereingty

"Good guys" vs "bad guys".

You know, if it walks like a Dubya and quacks like a Dubya, chances are it's a Dubya.

Black and white nonsense. The fundies love this kind of stuff. 'Hey! You don't have to really ANALYZE anything! It's just all black and white! This is one big game of Cowboys and Indians! It's easy!'

Pathetic.

Gidget loves to share her vast knowledge of world affairs!

I'd bet, oh….say $700 billion she had no clue as to what she was saying. Not a clue, not an inkling, not the foggiest idea, not the vaguest notion.

Does it mean that we create a 3rd world war because of israel? Lets see she can say Israel but cannot say Iran or Iraq properly.
She needs to first get the Canadians to work with her before she takes her foreign knowledge to middle east. Middle east is totally different and we need to be balanced in both Israel and the Arab world views for us to be taken as good arbitrators in their region.
Her Interview showed her lack of knowledge on foreign affairs and also lack of knowledge on a lot of national areas.

I agree with her. If Israel feels threatened they should act. As they recently did with an airstrike on Syria's own nuclear reactor.

Obama's response, "Call me if you need me."

So let me get this right……

if Israel decided to attack Iran, the US should have complete faith in Israel without second-guessing them!

Why am I not surprised about this comment……

after all, she stated that it is part of God's plan for the US to attack Iraq.

For any true Christian, God is NEVER, I repeat, NEVER for war.

I am also unaware of any diplomatic activities between Canada and the US via Alaska. Normally, important diplomatic relations are handled between Washington and Ottawa.

Israel is a different country from us. If is the best interest of Israel to attack Iran the let it be. Must remember that Iran is an enemy of Israel and is committed to the destruction of Israel . Israel must defend its self the way it see fit.

Do you really want Sarah Palin answering that 3am phone call in White House? I would rather have Katie Couric answer that call.

The whole reason the Holocaust happened in the first place is because nobody second-guessed Germany! What is WRONG with this woman? Has she opened a history book in her LIFE?

Yes we can second guess any of our allies and what they do, just as any of our allies can second guess our decisions (and they do at times).

I'm not saying Israel does not have the right to defend itself. But I am tired of politicians saying Israel can do whatever it wants.

And no I am not naive about the situation over there. It is incredibely complex. I'm not sure Palin gets that.

But if Israel were to attack Iran, it would be very different than Israel attacking a location in Syria. And if Iran were to attack Israel, that would be just as much of a mess. If either scenario were to happen, this would have huge ramifications beyond the region.

Sounds to me she is a bigger war monger than McCain.
I guess she can Tel Aviv from her house.

Falin's stupidity transcends all and any limits. If Israel will start a war with Iran, it's Israel's war, not ours. We have had enough of this nonsense with Bush and the results are terrible. Right, all our economy needs right now is another war What an idiot!

So Palin can talk? For about a month, she has been avoiding the press. Her answers are disjointed and unintelligent. She can run but she can't hide, Mrs. Nucular.

She is right.

The US would never permit ANY other country to second-guess us.

Each sovereign nation has the right to exercise their right to national security.

Other countries can negotiate and discuss and influence- but no more.

She could have done a better job of saying what she said. She's looking at this from the perspective that the Israelis are just trying to prtect themselves. She should have qualified her remarks and said that Israel has every right to defend themselves and left it at that.

This girl is simply stupid. Studip, stupid, STUPID I say. This is an insult for all of America. Shame on you Palin. Shame on you Jonny Mac.

HUH?? Hello? Is it just me , or does this person make a pe- rfect actress for HEE- HAW ? Wow, wow, wow! Has anyone ever bothered to inquire as to her education credentials? C'mon , is this the brightest and best America has to put in the Vice-Presidential slot for the Republicans?LET's pray NOT!!!!

we can second guess israel as long as that country is dependent on the US for its security and its flow of weapons, read a book Palin

oh— man, scary. Never question a decision to go to war? Hmm I've heard that before… Maverick!!

I'm so tired of these "Stepford Wife" answers…unbelieveable!
They were so right about not letting her speak!!!!!

Anyone notice that McCain always has a sitter with him – usually Cindy, Palin, Lieberman, or Lindsey Graham?

Senator Obama manages just fine without supervision.

Let’s see the results of some neuropsychological tests. McCain seems to have serious deficits.

That's crazy talk. Sarah Palin is a loopy nutjob.

beat the drums! march to war!

Palin says:

“It is obvious to me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are.”

So I guess war against Iran would be fine with her. The men, women, and children of Iran can be killed as needed, because they are the “bad guys.”

God, this woman is a sick, sick joke.

I've heard enough "O Wise One", there is no need to say another word. Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain would set this country back a thousand years if they were elected.. Thanks, but no thanks!

"Obama/Biden 08&12″

This is turning into a complete moron-a-thon. Go home to the land of misfit toys and leave national politics to the educated. Seriously…

It is funny how media wants to pick apart everything Palin says. People think we have some right to tell Israel what they can and cannot do. Ask the same question about NATO Ally France if they felt Iran was too much of a threat to them, and attacked, and the answer is of course, no you can't second guess them.

1. run-on sentences…check
2. talk about "good guys" and "bad guys"…dumbing it down for the people…check

Sarah Palin is showing to be like George W. Bush more and more everyday!!! Wow, McCain wanted a female version of his buddy GW. Now THAT'S creeeeepy. Just in time for Halloween!

please post

Jesus…she is throwing around the word "Holocaust"….someone pull this woman off the ticket…its over McCain…the landslide is happening…Lean McCain states are going to toss-up and toss-ups are moving to Obama…VA is now blue at realclearpolitics.com and NC is moving in that direction…his lead in MO has been cut down, FL is down….its over.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008

Usually I would find it difficult to pile on this women however I will never forget (never) her tone and sarcasim during her speech at the Republican Convention. Her undoing is McCains fault because she should never had been picked as a VP candidate.

I wanna know what her IQ score is, I bet she quantifies as mentally retarded.

She also said, we keep an eye on Russia from Alaska, is she implying the U.S. spies on RUSSIA.

These things are secret and she is blabbing them on T.V.

Does she even know what the Holocaust entailed, or how it came about? Or is she just spouting jargon that she thinks is somehow related to Israel?

OMG, this woman is a complete and total moron. No wonder the McBush campaign was trying so hard to keep her from the media. Everytime she opens her mouth something more idiotic that the statement before comes out!!

Obama/Biden '08

Well, we the voters second guess you.

CNN Please STOP IT!!! THERE IS MUCH MORE NEWS OUT THERE THAT IS NEWS WORTHY BECAUSE MOST OF US GET THAT PALIN IS NO WHERE NEAR READY FOR THIS LEVEL OF EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP!!!!!

THERE IS NO NEED TO TRY AND CONVENCE THE LAME BRAINS THAT WILL VOTE GOP TICKET COME HECK OR HIGH WATER. THEY HAVE ALREADY SOLD THEIR SOULS.

This woman is clueless!!! McCain has destroyed her political career. No wonder she needs a witch hunter to save her

America should ALWAYS second-guess Israel. 1.3 million Palestinians remain stuck in refugee camps, 41 years after the end of the 6-Days War. That's the root of Arab hostility toward America, because America guaranteed Israel's security while Israel committed ethnic cleansing against Palestinians.

Israel's claim to be "America's best ally" is based on resentment of America caused by Israel's own behavior. America would have many good allies in the middle east, if it hadn't helped to enable Israel's campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Are we 2 year-olds? This sounds eerily like Bush.

This is perhaps the most ignorant comment yet from Palin. Israel is always right, she says. Why doesn't she just go all the way and say something like "The United States is never wrong."

Apparently, Palin does not realize that just because someone is a close ally doesn't mean that they can never be wrong.

I think they might wanna hide her in a closet for the next 29 days! Even republicans have woken up from this dream and realized McCain is screwed.

Another republican simpleton. Good choice, McChicken.

Where did she come from?? Outer Space?? Under a Rock??

Just because we have VERY GOOD relations with a Country does not mean they dont make mistakes and that they dont make bad choices that we should have to back up!!

Every country in my opinion is responsible for their own problems and mistakes. If Israel just wants to bomb Iran for no apparent reason and make up a reason like Bush did about Iraq… I dont want america to support it at all!!! You dont just not second guess!! I would second guess a friend if they were going to do something that could cost many lives!!

Wake Up Palin!!

Oh my……just ohhhhhhhhhh my…… What a scary scary VP she would be – more scary than Dick Cheney…..

Can you imagine under-educated rednecks like that being in charge of the White House? May God have mercy on all of us.

Is she serious? –Bush second guessed Germany and France in 2003…

Maybe she only wants to second guess teaching birth control!

ignornace is bliss …

Yikes………….this woman is so scary and unqualified in her black and white world of foreign policy.

Does anyone else see a VP switch coming in the next few days?

I can see the McCain camp sympathy play already. Oh, poor Sarah had to withdraw because of that meany pants Obama and his blatant sexist lies about her family. The media, who is already in the tank 150% for Obama, just does nothing but expect this poor victim to answer questions with coherent responses.

My friends, please join me, John McCain, to right this tremendous wrong and elect me President. I will clean up Washington and the media. In my spare time I will run down to Washington and run it all by myself because there will be none of these other "do-nothing" politicians left after my mavericky, maverick, maverick house cleaning……Oh and don't expect to see any of it on the news, because I will censor all media coverage that doesn't tell people that I am a POW.

I'm convinced that one of the reasons that McCain pulled that 'suspension' stunt was to distract the media from all of his other 'bad news' stories recently. And one of those stories was the ongoing subpar performance of Palin. She clearly is not ready to be VP or step up to be President. So McCain did not have the integrity to put 'country first' when he picked her, and he keeps pullings stunts and ploys and gimmicks to distract us. But this story isn't going away, and neither are the other stories that McCain was hoping to distract us from.

Blessed are the peacemakers!!!!! Read the Bible, you war monger!

Why does John McCain have something on his website saying he won the debate??? Does he think it is over? Someone please tell him the debate is tonight, it has not happened. DDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If nobody second guessed Hitler's military intentions, we'd all be seaking german. You can't just allow any country to freely do whatever they want because it appears they have "our intentions' in mind. That is the most moronic thing I have ever heard. Pull her mic cord please.

This lady is really smart, I think she might have done some damage to the progress Sen. Clinton has made for women in politics. You go John McCain.

Palin…the gift that keeps on giving.

So Iran is going to create concentration camps?? What holocaust is being risked??

Palin can say whatever she wants, but if we're going to send our troops to protect Israel, you bet I'm going to be second guessing everything.

She must have gone to a Jewish Deli while in New York – so now she's an expert on Isreal.

Wow…. Blind ignorance at its best. Let's just blindly support anything Israel does. She really doesn't have a clue, does she? This isn't a marriage. You don't just support your spouse no matter what. This is real world politics with real world consequences.

Dear Caribou Barbie,

Life lesson that I would hope you teach your kids….. just because someone is a ally or friend doesn't mean you can't question them when they do something you don't agree with. Your statement sounds like we'll always back Israel no matter what, which is a very stupid thing to support.

Love,
Common Sense

She really has an amazing ability to take things, things that I may agree with or may disagree with, and say them in a way that sounds really really dumb.

This bumbling Moose lady gets scary and scary everytime she opens her mouth in public, I see why McSame is hiding her, I hear the fat lady warming up in the background.

Isn't that funny coming from someone that everyone is now second-guessing!!!

Here we go with the Axis of Evil again. Seems Palin wants to incite Iran even before the election, or is that the plan? Precipitate an attack that Bush feels forced to answer, and make the Republicans look like our saviors again? One question-where are the troops and the cash going to come from? A military bailout? Encouraging and supporting an Israeli-Iran war also means the end of the US and possibly the world. Israel has nuclear weapons. So just keep talking Sarah. Does the woman know the meaning of negotiation and any method other than attack? Oh, right. She's the pit bull.

Mmmmm…. yes they should be aloud to do what ever they want!
America shouldn't seek to push that area to peace… no, ooooh, no!

That's enough from you Wail'n Palin!

Dang. She's gonna have us in another war before she even gets elected. Hasn't anyone ever told her that it's better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Just be quiet.

"Good Guys" and "Bad Guys"!!!! Bang bang, shoot shoot, I hunt! Please give me a break- this woman is a joke.

People who support the proven LIARS McCain/Palin…the same people are probably liars themselves.

I like the phrase: One Car. One House. One Wife.

Obama '08
Change We Can **Believe** In

McCain's choice of Palin tells a lot about him. The repubs are doomed any way. He is looking for somebody to bail out. Nope!

Obama/Biden 08/12.

really?

Way to go for the Independant vote!

Here performance is getting worse faster than I anticipated. The campaign is putting out so many fires (everywhere, it seems!), that probably no one has time to coach her. I suspect they'll tell her the only way to win the debate with Biden is to start crying when he pushes her!

She said the same stupid thing to Charlie Gibson. This isn't news.

But then she back-tracked….the interview was PAINFUL to watch.

Katie said at one point "…but you just said they should not be second guessed?" Then Palin stumbled a few more times.

A high school student could answer the questions with more confidence.

Palin is WORTHLESS!

palin "thinks"? whoa!

What the h%$@ is she talking about? we had better well second guess any country that is going to drag us into yet another interminable war. What a maroon.

mrs.paLien,

——-if u wanna another war send your mama and papa!!!!!

no more blood for wrong reasons…….No More.

I don't think anyone who uses the terms "good guys" and "bad guys" should ever be allowed into higher office…

I love how she defines the world in terms of good guys and bad guys. It is so easy! People who think you need experience to be good at foreign policy are stupid.
Israel = Batman
Iran = Joker
Batman better beat up the Joker. Forget about laws, forget reason too.

Fantastic there, Sarah. If Israel attacked Iran or vice-versa first, then you can "kiss" the Middle East goodbye. That's like McCain's "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" statement a few months ago. If it ends up in a nuclear confrontation, think about the consequences…The movie, "On the Beach (the original that is), gives a pretty good picture of what could happen. There are neither "good guys" or "bad guys", Sarah….only losers, no winners.

God heklp us if this woman is heart beat away from the presidencey ifold man McCain get elected…once he strokes out in his first year or so, and we have this idiot…well this country is in big trouble.
Never in an election has the VP been an issue, but in this case because of mcCains age it had better be one.
WAKE UP AMERICA..this woman is not ready…now or in the future.

AT LEAST HUCKABEE SPEAKS HIS MIND AND ISN'T WORRIED ABOUT BEING "POLITICALLY" CORRECT.

Maverick – Unpredictable, uncontrollable, reckless. Is that what we need 2 of?

Israel, like the US, has its share of good governance and patches of bad. A lot of countries second guessed the US when we invaded Iraq and the majority of them (especially in the EU) still have their economies and monetary value intact.

How can she not propose to look at the situation and work out a mutually beneficial agreement? I'm not a big fan of blind faith like what the Bush administration thrived upon.

This is getting past the point of absurdity. There are no absolutes in the national security debate. QUESTION EVERYTHING. Every act by a foreign nation must be weighed and examined to determine whether it was just and righteous and to analyze how precisely it effects our interests. There can be no presumptions.

Could she be more blatant about trying to sway jewish voters in FL? Really. She's a complete muttonhead and would have us sending troops into Iran or Russia before you can say "apocalypse".

I really dont think she know what she is talking about

God bell this women

Obama/Biden08

Now that the debate is back on, we can focus for a while on all of the stories that McCain was trying to distract us from. And Palin's interview performance is one of them. McCain made a risky and impulsive choice when he picked her for VP, and with every appearance she shows that McCain did not have the integrity to put the 'country first' when he chose his VP.

…it is better to have people think you are an idiot than to open you mouth and confirm it…

where's the part about calling Kissinger naive?

Interesting thought it seemed like she was digging deep to remember what she was thought and from her reservoir I guess this was the best response she could come up with.

she is scary…who is heart beat away przcy, I don't McCain nor Palin fingers near the red button. God, please help us…for the future of our children… do not vote for them

She is a complete moron, and a trainwreck. I hope people can look past her looks and see that she has no clue about much of anything

They need to sequester her again.

And Sarah Palin should just do us all a huge favor by shutting up and quitting play-acting that she has any qualification at all to be Vice President!

I agree with her. Go McCain/Palin!!

Oh my God! This woman scares me right out of my skin…

Palin's just a bit of a nut bar, isn't she?

How does she know anything about Israel? Can she see Israel from her house, too?

We should certainly never guess Sarah Palin. She can see Russia and Canada from Alaska

bologna!

We should never NOT second guess ANYONE!

huh?

I give up!

Vote smart!

Vote Obama/Biden '08!!!

This is laughable….yes they are our allie but never second guess them? She is off her rocker!!! Yeah lets have WWIII over one country…

I cringed when I watched this.

Maybe McCain can further cripply the U.S. economy during her debate next week, so no one notices that either.

IDIOT!

I am a strong supporter of Israel, and a proud supporter of Obama. Obama is the much better bet for a strong USA. And a strong USA is good for Israel.
