Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:58:52 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=21516#comment-1830223 From the bottom up, didn't McCain go on David Letterman a week or two after 9/11 and say we were going to attack Iraq? So, isn't that an example of where we said publicly that we were going to attack a country? And as an aside, Obama didn't say we were going to attack Pakistan. He said we'd attack militants and HVT's inside Pakistan if Pakistan didn't go after them. That's a BIG difference. As for the broader issue of Gotcha journalism, it seems that Palin is a quick study. It was just a couple of weeks ago in a town hall that she said "IF you want to go with gotcha journalism, go ahead and stump the candidate." That seems to me like if there is no cogent answer, use that as the fall back line. And perhaps in Wasilla, or Alaska, or even in other parts of our country, that works. But when Chavez's negotiators, or Putin's KGB, or Iran's Revolutionary Guard or whomever the opposition is comes to the table, we can't be in a position of our VP saying "go ahead and stump me. I'll get some information and bring it back to ya." That isn't going to work. From the bottom up,

Eventually the topic got around to Palin and her bid. The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a 'Post Turtle'." Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'Post Turtle' was. The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'Post Turtle'." The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she don't belong up there, and she don't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put her up there to begin with."

Once you start lying, its hard to distinguish between a lie and a truth, and you start to believe that your lies are REALLY the truth! Poor McCain..........he lost his mind, his dignity, and respect.

McCain doesn't have the temperament nor the skill to deal with an economic disaster like this to be President and Sarah Palin is not qualified. The longer this goes on the more clearer and obvious this becomes. Both of these candidates are dangerous and would put the U.S. in even more flux that it already is domesitically and internationally. This is just unacceptable that McCain thinks he can belittle, use sound bites, hide behind war service, and hoodwink hockey moms on his way to the White House. I have to believe the majority of American citizens are not that gullible. cmon, this charade has gone far enough with these two.
