Sarah Palin is told what to say, how to say it. She and McCain are speaking to the emotions of the American people. John McCain known for speaking to people emotions that's the reason he chose Sarah Palin in the first place to appeal to the emotions of women.

Give me a break. obama and ayers have a long history and the part being ignored is when ayers said he regrets he did not do more damage than he did. He said this long since the bombings and still obama is his friend and ally. Only the stupid or the ill informed would believe there is not connection with ayers along with obama's other questionable relationships.

More than Obama, Palin is in fact the greater threat to our security. She participated in a religion that looks forward to Armageddon. Do we really want someone with such beliefs to have their finger on the button that can bring about Armageddon? This is the most important question that voters should consider this year.

That statement shows that the MCcain campain is desperate and will say things that have already been hashed out to try and stop the rising polls in Obama's favor. MCcain might as well pack your bags and send you and Palin home. Obama...new leader of the Millenium! Obama/Biden 2008!

Republicans can be the most prejudiced souls in politics.

Vicious at times, both regarding politics and religion.

I am ashamed I started out Republican but proud to be a Kennedy democrat.

I never saw anything redeeming in Ronald Reagan–he has a dismal record when it came to women's issues.

McCain and Palin are a joke!! Our economy is on the rocks. There are so many people losing their jobs and their homes. Talk about the issues. But of course, Palin swayed from talking about the issues at the debate. And McCain will do it again at the next debate.

I applaud Obama for sticking to the facts. McCain and Palin should be ashamed for lying to win the election. This is exactly what the american people are sick of. I went to a great site where you can check any member of congress's votes on different legislation. it's called govtracks.com-Research and get the facts. McCain may have been able to pull of his lies 10 years ago but today almost every home in america has access to the internet to check lies from truths. That's right I believe he stated he was not computer literate, too bad John.

Although I will vote for the Obama/Biden ticket, I was pulling for Governor Palin during the VP debate.

Since that time she has won the prestigious “POF" award more than once (POF = Pants On Fire).

Palin has 'gone offensive' and now she is offensive.
(You reap what you sow.) Go Obama/Biden.

This from a woman that won't even answer questions about her abuse of power investigation. This is just one more example of the blatant lies that the McCain/Palin ticket have engaged in. This just shows how little respect that John McCain and Sarah Palin have for the American people. They have nothing to offer , but lies.

I know this won't make it to the blog because my comments never do on CNN.

How about Palin's misquote of the Stabuck's coffee cup from Madeline ALbright:

there’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women",

The actual quote is "there’s a place in hell reserved for women who don’t HELP other women", not support.

Sure Palin has a fine record of HELPing other women by not making clear her stand on making women pay for rape kits (does my home owners pay the PD for their investigation of a break in?), her administrations initial rejection of divesting in Sudan to help stop the raping and killin in Dufar, and wanting to throw women in jail for abortions.

Then she asks the crowd how the MSM is distort what she said tomorrow. Well Sarah, real journalist get the quote right first off. Second, your are the one distorting, not them.

so much for a campaign that said it will not take the low road to the white house...

the mcbush camp should be ashamed of themselves to think that americans are stupid enough to forget the most important issue hitting them and pay attention to this nonsense.

how does this accusation from palin fix the economy, or provide health care or fix america's infrastructures, or education, etc.

mcbush, face the issues and talk about your plans that will turn this wrecked economy around for the joe-six packs and hocky moms

It's hard for me to believe that, in addition to the last 7 years of utter incompetency, any educated person could support such a ticket like the one the Republican party now offers. Are we that stupid, like the rest of the civilized world thinks we are?

Sarah Palin is a disgusting piece of work. Back to Alaska please! John McCain will regret this extraodinary lack of judgment and total disregard for the people of America that the selection of this candidate to run on his ticket has resulted in. He will lose the election and the respect of his peers for the remainder of his political career.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I swear to God I've been saying to anyone that will listen, that Sarah's ambition has always been to be famous. She's using politics as a "happened upon" vehicle. Her ignorance about foreign policy and national government has become painfully obvious!
Let's vote country first and send her back to local politics.

Just who does Sarah Palin think she is? She should keep her dirty mouth shut forever. She is nothing but a symbol of idiocy. Whoever listens to her and applauds her has Palin’s intellectual level, which is close to zero. Go home, Sarah, and keep your sharp eye on Putin flying over Alaska.

Hey Palin haw about the fact that you are sleeping with a radical separatist who wants to break up the country and destroy America.

Uhhhh, Governor Palin ... do you really want to play the "relationship" card? It seems to me that you and John McCain both have past relationships that you might not want to have the electorate looking into? Let's see ... there's your ex-brother-in-law whose actions might be considered questionable ... and there's your husband's activities with the Alaskan Separatist group ... oh, and there's the Keating 5 ... Cindy's embezzlement from a charity group. Obama living in the same neighbourhood and serving on the same charity ... it isn't a skeleton that's going to rattle to many of us!

"Democrats Trust McCain – Obama , Is A Terrorist Sympathizer ."
Firstly, the majority of Democrats DO trust Obama and ARE voting for him, so I would get rid of the screen name if I were you.

Hey Sarah....Ever hear of Christianity 101 – Thou shalt not tell lies and falsehoods? Probably thinks because she's above the law in Alaska, she's above christian teachings, too!

I'm beginning to think this woman is a sociopath! She shows no emotion (i.e., slams Biden right after he had an emotional moment, using her kids for her own agend and political gain, etc.), and also lies without any sense of a conscience!

What a sad day for this country if those two con artists, McCain/Palin, get into office.

See...

Let me get this straight.

Ms Palin wants us to hold Barack accountable for something SOMEONE ELSE did 40 years ago when Obama was 8 years old?

Ms Palin doesn't want us to hold the GOP presidential ticket accountable for what McCain DID over the past 8 years while being in lockstep with Bush & Cheney on MORE THAN 90% of George's initiatives.

Mrs. Palin is now a full fledged member of the dishonest & dishonorable Republican Party.

Why did Palin feel it was necessary to lie in her introduction as selected VP, when she bragged about not building the bridge to nowhere?
She built the road to where the bridge was to be built, so people could drive to and from the airport rather than having to use a ferry to and from the airport.

She was showing that this made her a maverick. A maverick of deception.

she is pitiful. When she made this statement was she asked a question about Venezuela? If you ask the clerk at the grocery, "what aisle is the dish soap?" When he says, " the potato chips are in aisle five." Would you scratch your head? So you ask again. The clerk responds, "the bologna is in the meat department." You would think they were insane or an idiot or both. This is analogous to palin's debate performance. Now she's lying again on the stump.

Sarah Palin has an approval rating of 70%-the highest in the U.S.
Why?

Well, she sends Alaskans checks every year ranging from $3,000 to $ 20,000. She has no state income tax and no sales tax.

Of course Barack is going to reject these ties now he is trying to be an all American poster boy but O'Bama certainly did not reject them when he was writing his books.

O'Bama who admits being involved in socialism and maxist groups, calls a communist radical a "father figure" who once wrote about sleeping with a 13 year old child as his duty and worked with a man who regrets not blowing up the NYC police station....who was best friends with convicted felon Rezco and let us not forget his infamous pastor of 20 years Rev. Wright......
