CNN

Sarah Palin is a power hungry fake that must hate this country. Here is a woman that advocated for Alaska succeeding from the United States along with her husband Todd.

This is a very evil woman and the sooner she is off the political stage the better for the country.

OMG!! T his coming from a woman who is putting herself first over her poor children who need a mother.

After the report coming out later on how you abused your position and governor and mayor, NO one will be listening to you anymore...as if they even do now...bu bye failin!!!!

Sorry to dissappoint you all, but Barrack Obama is no political messiah and he has A LOT to answer for. Shrugging off difficult questions and flowery speech just doesn't cut it. Who is Barrack Obama? What are his plans for this great nation? Hopefully we'll find out in the next debate and/or within the next couple of weeks.

At the very least we know where the McCain/Palin ticket stands...

Sarah, you have put YOUR AMBITION ahead of YOUR FAMILY! They are a disfunctional mess and you don't even seem to notice.

take the L out of Palin and all that leaves you is PAIN....

Someone should tell John and Sarah that just because you say it, doesn't make it so

Now THAT is totally the pot calling the kettle black. I wish Palin could spend some time talking about how she can make a positive change in our country rather than throwing barb after barb at her opponents. She is truly a woman without ethics and it's a shame that she's one of the few that have made it to her level in politics.

Wow, if this is true then this is HORRIBLE!!! How dare a Senator try and persuade a foreign gov't to side with him rather than in the best interest of our country. For those of you saying this is alright, then let's put the shoes on the other foot. Let's say Obama is President and a Republican Senator talks behind his back when he's negotiating a peace treaty between Georgia and Russia. YOU WOULD BE FURIOUS!!!! Obama is putting his presidential desires ahead of the country's needs.

Horrible decision Obama. This just may cost you the election!

Go McCain!

And that is Senator Obama to you Sarah!!! You are a liar for sure, but at least be a polite liar!!!

Can somebody stop her. She is too annoying.

Palin is an idiot!!! And John McCain's judgment has proven to be terribly flawed in his choice of her. Don't get me wrong, I like Senator McCain, but I cannot in clear conscious vote for him knowing that Palin could be president if something happened to McCain. Also his line of attack turns my stomach. As much as I hate to say this, Obama now has my vote.

Again, they can't win on the issues, so their resorting to fear, hatred and smear.

And she doesn't use Alaska for her OWN ambitions???? AIP ring a bell????

And they say Americans have no sense of irony...

Look who's talking??? A mother with an infant special needs child, a teenage daughter on the verge of motherhood, another young daugher. I mean, not judging her situation, I am a multi-task mother also. But please, give me a break, here.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated

And Obama will not be defeated

On the contrary, Gov. Palin, it is you who have put ambition before your family and thus your country. The American family is the keystone of the integrity of this nation. Lady, you have failed miserably to be true to anything.

If McCain-Palin differed one iota from the failed policies of Bush-Cheney I think she would understand why the next president wouldn't want to be harnessed to any Status of Forces agreement might negotiate in his last desperate months in office. But maybe I give Palin too much credit...

Sarah, please talk about something that matters. My 401k, has turned into just a 40, and tomorrow I'm afraid it will be just a 4.

People want solutions, not mud slinging!!

OK, this is enough. I am sick to death of this woman's constant efforts to deflect attention anywhere but her own pathetic and imploding "campaign".

Gov. Palin, until you can actually come up with one idea or issue – just one – about which you have a serious, practical proposal to HELP the country, then you don't deserve any more airtime.

That you expect to win an election by virtue of being the second-worst option available says all we need to know about your estimation of the average American's intelligence.

Palin you couldn't answer simple questions from Katie Couric, please tell me why I should listen to anything that comes out your lying mouth. I would respect you a little bit more if you would just be yourself instead reading your scripts for the day.

Sarah Palin:

I, and most of America are disgusted with the Republican party which you represent. They have no substance to run on so they have to resort to mudslinging and swiftboat tactics. You will reap what you sow. John McCain is going to end up in the political wilderness, and his name with be synonymous with mud/sleaze. You, Madam, are a joke. And by the way, you have five children and the seeds that you sow will return not just to you, but to them – if you were truly a Christian you would know that. May God have mercy on you, John McCain and the other hate-filled Republicans who are spewing lies and exhibiting bigotry, racism and downright ignorance.

It is a shame that this soccer mom is spewing hate and lies. What kind of example is she setting for her kids. This is why this country will never be able to move beyond race, people like her teach it to their kids and so it goes. tsk tsk tsk. McCain-Palin, I think not.

THAT ONE 08

Obama ask the Iraqi President to delay a long term solution!? Until he gets into office!!?? Wow! Just wow!!

And Palin puts ambition over family. McCain/Palin duo needs to get over themselves. They are acting like Obama doesn't have the right to run for this office!

Wow. Just wow. Excuse me, Governer, but it's John "If we focus on the issues we will lose the election" McCain who is blind with ambition. And you yourself, with your glaring lack of qualifications and education have no room to talk. Quit trying to project all of your poor qualities onto Senator Obama and look in the mirror for once. Americans need solutions to their economic problems and they want unity. What they do not want is the divisive fearmongering from you and your ilk.

08AMA/BIDEN

In John McCain's memoir, he admited that when he ran for President in 2000, it was not "because of some sense of partriotism but out of sheer ambition." In fairness, everyone who runs for president has to be ambitious. Michelle and Barack Obama speak about how grateful they are for the opportunities they were given by working hard in this country. They want to make sure all Americans have the chance at that American dream. An ambitious idea I can get behind.

Is she serious? Sarah puts ambition before family, God, and country. She is woefully incapable of serving this country.

Thank you William for reminding us that this has already been found untrue.

Like most of the McCain/Palin attempts to deflect us from the real issues.

Obama can do anything to advance his cause. What we do not know is 'what is his real cause?'.

I can't believe she's still out there talking about this mess when we as a country are facing an economic crisis. But if she wants to talk about ambition, we can go there. As a mother I can't fathom why she would take on being the VP of the US when she has an infant child with down syndrome. Most women I know would choose to put down their "ambition" and stay at home with their child if the financial situation afforded that. Furthermore, I would never put my teenage pregnant daughter out there under a national microscope. She has put her ambition over her family.

Nice coming from a woman who should have turned done the offer for VP if she really put country first.

Who is Sarah Palin? That is the question

Palin go home, you are going to cause more problems then you can imagine!

I wish I cared what Palin said. She is going to be proven today in her ethics investigation to do whatever she wants and say whatever it takes to get her own ambitions met.

If McCain and Palin put country before ambition, he would not have offered her the vice presidential candidacy and she would not have accepted.

Lately I just ignore her... I am waiting for those troopergate results... will be very very interesting read...

Palin, what plan do you have in order to fit this financial mess we're in? Go ask McCain and get back with me. Oh yes, he doesn't have one either.

Whatever! I'm not sure of Barack's motives, but I have no problem with what he did. With the Bush presidency ending in a few months, any decisions about long-term troop deployment and levels should be left to the next president, whether he is McCain or Obama. This agreement boiled down to Bush tying the hands of the next president by pushing an agreement on the table before he left office, thereby committing American forces in Iraq into the forseeable future. Palin is attempting to politicize the issue for the benefit of her ticket, when both candidates should be enraged with Bush's tactics. Enough is enough.

Is this the same deal that would lock us into having bases and troops there for years? The deal Bush/McCain want in place so that the next President and Congress have their hands tied?

After watching people in McCain's rally aired on youtube and with all the hatred out there I am starting to fear what is ahead for this country. The McCain/Palin ticket is stirring too much hatred and will divide this country in ways that I don't think my generation (born in 1971) has experienced yet. Please put a stop on all this nonsense because we may just be heading into a civil war. God help us!

Hypocritical. If she was truly putting country first, she would have either declined the invitation to join the ticket or stepped down from the campaign with dignity once she realized she was in over her head. Aye, there's the rub, she's too clueless to realize she's in over her head. Hmmmm, seems like blind ambition to me.

One thing Gov. Palin forgets to mention is that John McCain voted AGAINST military funding that would also have a timeline to bring our troops home, so I guess she too wants her son, and the sons, daughters, fathers and mothers to stay in Iraq for another hundred years.

O.K. Governor from "up there in Alaska", answer this one question. Oh, thats right you can't. O.K. answer this question. Oh thats right you won't. Go away gnat, you bother me!!! and take your puppeteer husband with you. Hopefully, the people " up there in Alaska" will be embarrased enough to get rid of you next go round so we never have to hear that whiney voice and see that fake wink again

I have never disliked a person because of their politics,HOWEVER, this woman is a disgrace to America, Alaska, and to women!!!

Palin Puts lies before truth, and greed before the good of the country, and partisanship before the people of my great country.

(She is not part of my great country, cause lets face it what american has ever really been to Alaska? seriously)

You have to laugh when she accuses Obama of blind ambition.

I do believe that McCain will lose and he will turn his anger on her. Hopefully we will be able to get front row seats to that after party and see what we escaped and never again will allow such angry politicians to run a mock with a campaign.

I pray to god nothing happens to this great man because of the hate rhetoric spewing out of Palin's, McCain's, and now Cindy's mouth. It doesn't make sense, why it has to be like this. Why does this have to be so dishonorable. Dear god, what has this country become. I have officially lost all faith in this two-party political system that is literally running this country into the grount. And I'm only 18! I used to optomistic about this campaign, and I used to respect both parties.....now it's like, why even bother caring about it. It's not worth the effort or the disappointment.

Another bigot another joke. It is clear how i am going to vote this year!!! Palin is a puppet!!!

Obama/Biden

What else will she say that has not been heard...She forgot that Obama is a true American; born and bread in America whereas Sarah Palin is a German; she was brought to America by her migrating parents when she was an infant.....who can we trust with America other than Barack.........This GOP are out of their real selves

What does Palin know other than to deliver the attack lines she is given by the McCain smear/fear masters. I sincerely doubt that she came up with any of her attack lines on her own. She is willingly being used to advance her own ambitions and career, otherwise why would any woman support and run with McCain who has consistently voted against equal pay for equal work for women? She is a shrill shill. Send her back to Alaska where they will impeach her at Governor now that all her non-sense and shenanigans there are being revealed.

Palin, go somewhere and never set foot in public again. You are a ridiculous person and just need to shut up.

I think the angry little man and the airhead are ridiculous they would sell this country out in a NY minute. Obama has remained cool and presidential through this whole debacle I hope the GOP doesn't steal this election.

Yet this week, THE White house announced that the President Bush is halting talks with Iran because it "appears to support Obama's position".

Isn't this PLAYING POLITICS WITH OUR SECURITY????????????

So, we're to believe a report that comes from the Washington Times? Why not quote FOX News instead?

And this beautifully demonstrates the schizophrenia that runs rampant in the McCain/Plain campaign. First, she says withdrawing troops in Iraq is ‘waving the white flag of surrender’, then turns around and says that Obama was trying to interfere in Bush’s flag waving, if we’re to believe that report!

And while she's on the subject of blind ambition for political purposes, maybe she can explain why McCain's campiagn manager, Randy Scheunemann's lobbying on behalf of Georgia, and how Putin got on TV and said that this whole epsiode was all done for the benefit of a US politician. This campaign's hypocrisy sickens me...

Someone, please GLUE her mouth so that she can shut up. I am tired of her nonsense.
Does she not have anything else to say....

Toooooo Late People. We have made up of minds which is Obama/Biden for True Change.

Hasn't the premise of the Washington Times article been refuted previously by Petreaus, Corcker, and the other US senators who accompanied Obama and sat in on those meetings? Does the Times have anything new to add other than what Rev Moon tells them to publish?

Bring it on.

Your lies won't win you this election, but they will destroy your party and YOUR chances of ever being more than a former Governor of a small State.

So Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain are running for office because they're not ambitious? Their motives are totally altruistic? Get real – if they didn't crave power, neither of them would be running. In that respect, neither of them are any different from Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden.

Tell them the truth SARAH !!!!! If they choose to not to listen , it's their own fault ,

Joe SIX-PACK !

Get real Palin.

Do you know where your kids are right now?

Do you know what they did last night?

Probably not. You were on the campaign trail trying to become VP.

Hypocrite.

Why can't she see that McCain is using her? The only reason she is the VP nominee is because she is a woman. Think about it; she only met McCain once before he chose her as his VP pick and he has her as the attack dog (which will hurt her carreer). Poor Sarah;(

Obama 08!!

Barack's arms don't reach that high yet. Palin needs to be careful when it comes to the topic of "twisting arms" to make certain decisions.

"Blind ambition above Country..."

And where are you in this statement, Gov Palin?

I'll tell you...RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST!

Unbelievable desperation. This was news from weeks ago and all of a sudden she brings up a non-issue again? Its amazing they have nothing else, even for negative campaigning this is pretty sad. I wonder when they will bring up Obama's middle name being "Hussein?"

NOW PALIN WAS THAT APART OF YOUR STUDY GUIDE FROM LAST NIGHT...OR DID YOU MAKE THAT UP AND YOUR LITTLE BITTY OWN SELF.

THERE, THERE, COME ON YOU CAN TELL US

How do you look yourself in the mirror, Sarah?

Ok. I've had it with Palin!!! How dare she speak of putting ambition before the country....when she comes in from nowhere talking loud but saying nothing!!! She has not only put her ambition to be VP over country, but over her her family.

Palin honey....if you REALLY care for this country, you would crawl back under that rock where McCainosaurous found you.

Hmm... As I remember it, Bush was trying to negotiate troop levels for the next 10 years, side-stepping congress and tying the next presidents hands when it comes to managing the effort.

Interesting distortion though.

Palin puts blind ambition in front of family!

This is what they want, folks. They want to split the country right down the middle by hook or by crook.

Thank you Mrs. Palin, but please leave. I don't question your motives for seeking the second highest office, please don't drag this man's name and reputation through the mud because you don't know how to run an honorable campaign.

Remember, these are the people you will be lobbying for new bridges to Wasilla, dontchaknow...

Ha! this is rich coming from HER!

ZERO is the amount of credibility that this woman has. Oh, by the way, she is also clueless. Send her back to Alaska so that she can keep us safe from Russia.

the bush administration was negotiating a long term agreement with iraq when the administration had only six months of life left.
an agreement that would impact the future administration's options regarding it's handling of iraq. NOT TOO BRIGHT.

and why on earth would anyone allow the bush administration further involvement on any matters in iraq?
MISSION ACOMPLISHED AFTER NEARLY SIX YEARS? APPARENTLY WE'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE.

The policy difference makes more sense than the attacks. Even if Obama is not good, she sould have presented an alternative. But no, only barking like lost dogs

This woman is pathetic. Everything about her speaks shamelessness. Nothing has ever dragged America lower before the world. For no reason should this happen to common sense. She lacks all moral and decency. I guess, that's why her name sounds like 'pain'. The missing letter 'L' is Lame for Mc.

This is simply PATHETIC!!!

McCain was one of the few republicans I would have ever voted for in my entire life.

After this show, I will never again entertain that idea!!!

But Palin isn't ambitious? Even a cursory reading of her political career shows she is at least as ambitious as Obama, probably more.

And I can't believe she and McCain want to remind the American people that the Iraqi government prefers Obama's plan to McCain's, but hey, it's their funeral

PALIN puts ambition over country. She is clearly unqualified but will jockey for any power position she can get whether she is qualified or not, all the way from mayor to VP. Like I said before if you are a conservative and don't like Obama's policies I respect that, but I don't see how you can go and cast your vote for McCain/Palin. I'd vote for Bob Barr or Nader before I would vote for them. I'm beginning to think majority of McCain/Palin supporters choose to be ignorant or are just plain racist. This whole thing makes me sick.

Sarah P you are very sick woman! You have lost your soul.

Early voting is the way to go.

Registered Republican voted Obama/Biden 08

Could not add to Keating Story, but it is appropriate here too.
Isn't it ironic that a man named Keating is questioning Obama's relationships?

The GOP and McCain campaign treat Palin like a secretary, a farcical big windbag of hot air in a pretty package.

McCain is truly mentally and physically in decline.

The only person who world leaders would respect even less than McCain is windbag Palin.

McCain and Palin are committing character suicide!! They need to step up to the plate and present their ideas and plans and let us decide who the better candidate are Stop with the foolish tactics and man/woman up and face defeat with dignity!

Palin is doing something that is extremely dangerous. The McCain camp continues to run their campaign on fear. What I fear is another 4 years of a Republican in office. Palin scares me the most, she acts like an upstanding woman but to make women pay for a rape kit and wanting someone pregnant by a rapist to keep the child would and can be more harmful to a woman's mental,emotional, and phyiscal well-being. What would she do one she gets in the White House to the women of the United States...too scary to even think of!

Whenever I see more garbage from Daily Scandal Palin, I just think to myself...in 4 more weeks I'll never see her again. It brings that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Pot, meet kettle.

What about Palin's blind ambition? She does not even know what the VP does, but she excepted the position, talk about putting the country at risk. I don't get people voting her. She has not addressed or explained one policy and the McShame camp. outright said that if they talk about the economy that they will lose. Palin also needs to be careful of Ayers when she is "pals" with a crazy man from the Independent Party in Alaska who wants Alaska to seperate from America and does not want to be buried under the American flag, but I guess no one will talk about that! I don't want some running for President who does not even want to talk about the issues at hand just to get in the White House. That should tell people that if McShame doesn't want to talk about the issues that he doesn't know about the issues and if he doesn't know about the issues then he can't and won't do anything to solve the issues! McShame has been in the Senate for 26 years and has done NOTHING to solve anything!

Palin: What a joke! you! are! turning! out! to! be!!

I hope you're not paying your campaign staff or Karl Rove for any of this stuff. You know what they're "selling" you, right? They look at the blogs and take what the population at large is saying about you, such as "blind ambition" freak, and selling those slogans to you to use against Obama.

Just read those blogs and newswires yourself and save your campaign millions, and maybe your political career, family, and friends at the same time.

THIS STORY WAS REPORTED BY FOX NEWS TWO WEEKS AGO! IT WENT NO WHERE BECAUSE IT IS FALSE, FALSE, FALSE. ANOTHER RIGHT WING RAG PICKED IT UP FOR ANOTHER MCCAIN DESPARATION ATTEMPT.

The Washington Times is a gossip magazine and the report is totally unsubstantiated ... Our new VP ... now we know what she reads – gossip magazines.... next she will be telling us Obama is an alien from outer space .... what a joke! But I feel bad for the Republican Party .... there are many good Republicans .... Like our former Gov. Miliken of MI. He denounced McCain today in the Grand Rapids press. He said the thought of Sarah Palin possibly being President was frightening!

If Obama really did try to stall a timeline to get our men and women out of there, then it should be pasted all over the media – and nobody should vote for him.

As an undecided, I'll be keeping up with this to see what level (if any) truth there is to this claim. I'm floored.

Alas, even if it is true, I'm sure it'll get less media play than a blurb about magazines Palin may or may not read.

Apparently she doesnt understand how the senate (McCain aside) is not happy with Bush. Nor was it pleased when he told them he could make any kind of long term agreement with no input or approval from the senate. And yes, like it or not a US senator.... including McCain.... can talk to foreign leaders and state their positions.

AND I ACCUSE YOU OF MEDDLING IN GROWN, EDUCATED FOLKS BUSINESS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

YOU BETTER REPAIR THE DAMAGES YOU LEFT IN ALASKA BECAUSE YOU WILL SOON BE RETURNING TO FACE THE MUSIC

VOTING
OBAMA/ BIDEN 08"

AND WILL WATCH CLOSELY TO SEE IF THEY GET MY VOTE IN 2012

Looks like Sarah Palin is projecting again. The woman is desperate for power. If SHE cared about her country she would step aside like many conservatives think she should. If she cared about her country she would have blinked when asked to join the ticket. She is unqualified, unvetted, untested and apparently unapologetically dishonest in my opinion.

(CNN: kindly post my comment this time! Thank you).

One thing, the New York times was right. The requirements for
Vice President are the same as the requirements for President. It
would be horrifying if it were Sara Palin, since she is not qualified
for either position.

Who would believe "anything" from

"The TRASH TALK EXPRESS" ?????

Fear and Smear tactics are part of the OLD politics... Old politics that had failed this nation... and we are tired of it!

Is it just me or does she look like a moose in this picture?

Huh...

LOOK WHO'S TALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My gosh, has SHE LOOKED IN A MIRROR LATELY?

Dear Pot,

Not only are the lies you are telling about Kettle appalling, they also only serve to show just how 'black' YOU are. Kettle thanks you for this.

Cheers.

Palin puts lipstick and Alaska before country. She and her husband actively sought to have the state of alaska seperate from the USA. I call that un-american, un-patriotic. And you Palin, are a disgrace to us all...please jump off your bridge to nowhere!!

While she waiting for a sentence today over the Trooperwate investigation and she kept attack Barack Obama, man!! this lady really need to back to Alaska and Mcsame need to go back to Arizona too, Cindy McCain to go find something to do.My fellow American I can't wait for November 5, 2008.

Barack Obama, is my heroe, his espired me everything he spoke..

Barack Obama/JOe Biden....for president of the United State.

Can Palin point to Iraq on a map?

OMG, I cannot believe this woman has not been struck down with lightning spewing these untruths. Okay, FIRST? HER HUSBAND, HER HUSBAND, HER HUSBAND was a member of the AIP who wanted to secede from the US and whose motto was "my country is my greatest enemy". Secondly, her principal, McCain had a fund raiser hosted by G. Gordon Liddy, one of the masterminds and actual perpetrators of the first Watergate break in of the DNC in 1972, this goes BEYOND "pot/kettle" to near sacrilege, blasphemy call it what you want. SHE IS LYING, PEOPLE!!! Heck, she release her OWN report, or rather the McCain camp did, saying she is innocent in the trooper gate scandal...she absolved herself...hear that, she absolved herself...this woman has some kind of god complex. I have faith though, that the American people will see through this ultimate low road floozy's tactics and vote for the change we can BELIEVE and BELIEVE IN come Nov. 4.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!

If this is true, it must say something about Obama's influence if the Iraqi officials listened to him over Bush or McCain. I guess Obama isn't as "naive" about foreign policy as McCain & Palin make him out to be!

Sarah Palin is accusing Barack Obama of putting ambition before country?

Would that be like accepting a nomination to be VP when you know you aren't qualified because you are scared this is your only shot to start your run to be the President?

Palin is projecting her own ambition onto Obama to try to fool herself and Americans that she does not have that ambition.

Dear Pot,

Not only are the lies you are telling about Kettle apalling, they also only serve to show just how 'black' YOU are. Kettle thanks you for this.

Cheers.

What was that, Lipstick? I can't hear you because your talons clawing their way to the top are too noisy.

It's time she learns to disagree without being disagreable!

Blind ambition would be Palin faking her grasp of any relevant issues this entire campaign so she can further her career. She makes me sick.

Obama's only ambition is not to let these liars run this country for the next 4 years and Im all for that ambition.

Sarah Palin.. who?

Oh, another thing. I just realized that if Romney had been the nominee or the VP choice, we may actually be having a competitive race right now, despite all his negatives.

Seriously?

It's so funny that they claim to be a couple mavericks, but are willing to go so low in the mud just like Karl Rove and others have.

I already know some swing voters who are now voting Obama, because McCain and Palin have proven they are just a couple of whiners and can't do anything when they are down except for role in the mud.

Game Over!

Palin makes me sick to my stomach with her negative rhetoric.

Americans are loosing life savings, homes, and jobs! While McCain / Palin are running around the country selling FEAR!
These two IDIOTS are completely out of touch. The disturbing love affair they have with themselves is a smack in the face to every citizen of the Nation!

I would agree that the Iraqi officials need to wait until the next President comes on board to make such an agreement. This administrations does not have the same interests as the new administration will in order to come to an agreement that would benefit our troops and get us out of this senseless war. That agreement needs to be negotiated and agreed upon by the next President of the United States; he will be responsible for the troops not President Bush!

Palin look in the mirror!!!!

You know this woman is walking on thin ice here. She has a lot of controversial relationships and questionable practices behind her. One of which is currently in the courts. As Obama has stated, "we won't throw the first punch, but we will throw the last". I recommend to Palin she try and stick to the issues. But then again, this ticket has no plan, just a continuation of the horrendous BUSH/Cheney agendas.

To "tired of delusional blind sheep"
If your name is an indication of your feelings, what are you doing writing to CNN?

If this really happened, why isn't the White House screaming about it? Oh yeah, because it didn't happen. Palin = lies, lies, and more lies.

I wouldnt blame him if this was true. He is going to be dealing with this mess in a few months so he doesnt need the Bush administration to lock him into some ridiculous long-term agreement that keeps us obligated in Iraq for years to come. The outgoing administration should commit to nothing more than a short term agreement to leave options open for the new President coming in January.

So what side of the argument is Palin on?
She's scolding Obama for attempting to keep the troops in Iraq but she's also for keeping the troops in Iraq because the surge is working!

Can anyone take this moose hunter seriously? wait isn't she the same one that thinks community organizing is a demeaning job?

This is the most personal attack-centric campaign I've seen in my lifetime - it is basically their only argument at this point. It does smack of desperation, and I don't believe it is going to convert any undecided voters; but more than anything it is just disturbing and depressing.

They've really got nothing positive to offer the country at this point.

She's a nut. I don't know why she gets so much press coverage. If you ignore her, she'll go away. a few more weeks to go.

Read the latest Rolling Stones article: "Make-Believe Maverick" and you can see how easily (and with more supportive evidence) this same attack can be made against McCain. It's a distraction from the true issues at hand: what policies can be implemented to restore our country? United we stand, divided we fall, people.

No, Palin, that would be you.
Someone once said that those that deny REASON cannot be conquered by it, and I sense this speaks directly to you.

This woman is clueless. McCain has disgraced himself and the political process to have put this clueless woman second in line to the presidency–should he win.

Have you checked your 401K today?
I Just checked mine and I have lost 30% from its all time high.

No Way, No How, No McCain/Palin

Why Sarah Palin, John? Why?

The Democrats would never use a woman like this and make other woman shame of the accomplishments they have made.

Shame on you John McCain for using this woman this way and you lost my vote.

Obama/Biden 08/12

Landslide

I lost half my house to a hurricane, my friends are losing their jobs, retirement accounts and 401k's are dropping in value by the minute! PLEASE talk about the issues that matter as Barack said "ENOUGH"

This is incredibly disappointing.

John McCain pledged that his campaign would be different from what we've seen in the past. No personal attacks, no distracting wedge-issue appeals...only a bi-partisan discussion of the issues. His campaign has degraded into, at best, appeals to everyone's fears and, at worst, outright lies and attacks on his opponents' patriotism.

I thought John McCain had more integrity than this. Apparently I....along with everyone else who use to believe in him....were wrong.

Preaching to the choir.
Obama supporters don't care what she has to say.

Palin has gone from obscure to shameful and laughable, and as dangerously inclined to project her own dark issues onto others as is John McCain. Hard to believe they would drag their own party and country into such despicable territory to quench their own boundless ambitions.

Alright if you want your attacks to stick, they can't be over the top like this. No one cares about Ayers because no one thinks Obama is a domestic terrorist (except the people attending GOP rallies apparently). This line of attacks will not stick because no one believes Barack Obama is evil enough to jeopardiaze American troops while undermining his own government for power. Give me a break, you expect me to by that? You are playing this stuff up WAY TO MUCH.

The Trash Talk Express keeps chugging along.....

After millions of people saw Palin on t.v making a fool of herself, she has NO credibility. The ONLY people who listen to her and take her even 1/2 seriously are people who were not going to vote for Obama anyway.

She is only stirring up the people already in the McCain camp, the rest of the country thinks the republican ticket is quickly becoming a joke.

if this allegation proves to be true and according to independent reports it looks like that is the case,then i believe obama really needs to be exposed for what he really is,who would talk behind the back in secret to a foreign power without an agenda or risk being labeled a traitor if caught.if indeed this is the case then deport the offender and strike his name from the ballot box now before its too late

this is the second time a major media outlet has reported this. obama is dangerous. He has no right to try to sway negotiations. Even his campaign has confirmed his involvement as a "US senator". HE has no right to do that, even as a senator

Since they can't talk about issues, they resort to personal attacks. If they would learn how to speak, those attacks might go over better.

Tina Fey for VP – You Betcha!

I've connected the dots Palin, and it tells me the McCain campaign is desperate and has bad solutions.

No one could possibly put personal ambition ahead of country more than John Mccain in his self-serving vice-presidential pick of the clearly unqualified Sarah Palin.....

Tell McCain and Palin that at this point we don't care.
We will still vote Obama irrespective of whatever issues they bring up.

Yet another recycled, previously debunked claim. As I remember, Administration officials present at the meeting made it clear that Obama did nothing inappropriate. McCain/Palin just get more and more desperate – the recycling suggests that they have a very low opinion of American voters' memory and reasoning ability.

This woman is a liar. John McCain – you are a travesty. I cannot believe that you'd wipe out 25+ years of credibility through this terrible, horrible decision to select this vicious nitwit as your running mate. Not only that but you're condoning this low behaviour. You make Karl Rove and team look like Boy Scouts. For shame.

I am trying very hard to find something about Palin I could admire, but so far no go.
Her ignorance is dangerous.

Ambition?

How about the ambition of an unqualified neophyte? Hey Sarah, you are not running for the PTA. This is too important to put this candidate one step away from being President. She will make W look like a success.

Yeah, and Sarah Palin puts ambition over family. I could not believe it when, after her debate with Joe Biden, which ended at 10:30 p.m. Eastern time, she had her infant son, who has down syndrome with her on stage. That baby should have been asleep in his crib at that late hour. Shame on Sarah Palin. It appears to me that among other things, she lacks mothering skills.

Palin is hilariously foolish.

Stupid is as Stupid does.........

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something." ~ Plato

What else is there to be said.

Palin's tactics are very dangerous and the McCain/Palin camp are really starting to sound like extremists....

I'm tired of this whole nonsense! Is it too late to hunt for new Republican candidates? The race seem to be a one-sided affair now. I want a tougher opponent for 'that one'. McCanine and Palin seem to have no clue what they are doing!

someone please make this woman shut up..... she is vicious cruel and a liar.... i have heard all i need to hear from her

I am a 62 year old white male who has never voted Democratic on a presidential election but my wife and I are voting for Mr. Obama this year. In the last several weeks, I have lost about half of my 401K and I am terrified at the prospect that I may never be able to retire. Mr. McCain, you have not given me any reason to believe that you relate to people like me, nor have you shown any real leadership on finding a solution for this mess we are in. All I have seen from you are political stunts and gimmicks. I am trying to be respectful here, but John, we are losing our savings, our home, our life and you are going around bringing up old smears and injecting fear among the people at the time when we need a leader that can bring us together and lift us up? Perhaps you will never understand this because you are fortunate enough to have 7 homes and numerous vehicles and a fortune from your wife, but Americans are hurting and they will remember who is looking out for them. So stop this despicable campaign that you are conducting and show some leadership. I used to have a great deal of respect for you. In fact, I voted for you in the primary but it’s sad to say that you have changed and with that, you have lost my vote.

This is getting really ugly. That lady is a total disgrace.

When are media starts report about her links to AIP?

Obama/Biden For an inclusive america!!!

This woman is h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s.

"Blind Ambition" is her middle name.

This woman has put ambition over her own family....and country.
McCain puts his ambition over his integrity....and country.

Nice try Palin, but yet again you failed.

Is she still out there talkin'?

Oh don't worry, I understand the contrast between the tickets. I also know the truths behind the lies. And I am voting for Obama/Biden.

Well, if that's not the pot calling the kettle black... If ANYONE knows about blind ambition, it would be Sarah Palin.

Maybe when you lose you can hook back up with the AIP and get Alaska to cecede.

And then you can be president of Alaska!

Too bad nobody but the crazies even listen to her anymore. She has zero credibility.

She believes what the Iraqi government tells her? She truly does purchase bridges to nowhere.

ONE NATION

This from a small potatoes politician under investigation for abuse of power and a husband who was a member of the radical, extremist Alaska party.

It's America and this is the land of opportunity. We call it freedom and Palin makes it sound dirty.

Blind Ambition? Governor, NO ONE is more blinded by their ambition than YOU! You are clearly out of your league, and hopefully after today, one step closer to criminal prosecution.

...apparently...

...if this is true...

What a joke.

Palin accusing Obama of "blind ambition?"

Hello, Pot? This is Kettle ...

PALIN GET A LIFE!!
