(CNN) – Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin apologized Tuesday for any misunderstanding that resulted when she referred last week to the patriotic values of "the real America" and the "pro-America areas of this great nation."
Democrats and others immediately criticized Palin, alleging she was saying that some part of the country are more patriotic than others.
Palin denied that was her intention in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
"I don't want that misunderstood," Palin said. "If that's the way it came across, I apologize."
Speaking at a fund-raiser in North Carolina, the Alaska governor said: "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."
Watch: Palin explains what she'd do as VP
Palin also said Tuesday that Sen. Joe Biden's comment that as president, Sen. Barack Obama would face an international crisis within six months of taking office points to the dangers of electing a relatively inexperienced person.
"We need to thank Joe for the warning," Palin told CNN's Drew Griffin.
She made similar comments earlier Tuesday at a rally in Reno, Nevada.
At a fundraiser Sunday night, Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, said that after taking office, "it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. ... We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
His point, according to an Obama-Biden statement issued later, was that "we need steady leadership in tumultuous times, not ... the stubborn ideology of John McCain."

I Have noticed !!! that when ever someone raises the question about whether Sarah Palin is QUALIFIED to be the Vice President and in the event has to step up to the highest office, all her surrogates say the SAME THING except for the honest ones, they say SHE ELECTRIFIES THE BASE have you guys noticed that thats all they have to say about her readiness, and the pundits settle for that answer. Well what is needed in the oval office is not some one who JUSTelectrifies the base, we OUR COUNTRY needs someone who is competent and knowledgeable to run this country. I am wondering if anyone else noticed how thats all they have to say is that she electrifies the base. SO WHAT!!! SHE ELECTIFIES THE BASE THEY NEED TO GET SERIOUS AND SO DO WE THE VOTERS OF THIS GREAT NATION THIS IS NOT A BEAUTY CONTEST, THIS IS NOT SOME TALENT SHOW THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND I AM TRULY GETTING FED UP WITH THE REASON WHY SHE SHOULD BE VICE PRESIDENT IF THIS IS THIER REASONING SHE ELECTIFIES THE BASE GIVE US A BREAK
Apology not accepted Palin. You are too stupid and un-informed to be sincere! And your AIP involvement proves that you are NOT pro-american!
Go home, you are a failure and a joke!
Her message and intent came across very clear...her only regret was that she was called on the carpet about it by the media, Democrats, and the American public & rightfully so!
back peddling... again
If you have made similar comments you didn't "misspeak" you meant what you said and it made a lot of people angry.
If we are thanking Joe for the warning, then you, Sarah, need to heed that warning.
NO EXPERIENCE!!
I guess she realized it did not help Michelle Bauchmen aka jospehine mccarthy. moderate republicans are being turned off by this message such as the state sen in wisconsin and colin powell who both endorsed Obama.
Can she go away already? Why the media (cnn even) so gaagaa over this woman? I haven't figured it out maybe someone can give me an intelligent answer to that!
HAH. Back down from the comments but we all know you have that thought in your CORE.
That attitude, that big cities are nothing but burn-spots on the map of the "real America," runs rampant through the GOP. You accidentally spoke the philosophical truth of the right wing and now you're reaping the benefits. Deal with it, redneck.
Apologize; then, ATTACK< ATTACK< ATTACK!!! How sad...
She is such a liar!
Oh please go home!
Wow. The woman knows "I apologize"? But note that it's a qualified apology...
But what can we expect of a lipsticked maverick pitbull of a hockey mom?
I'll take the apology and you can take the next flight home. Now I'm going to go back to my non pro American part of town.
Too late heiffer......you already said it.....its the end of your political career!
I voted for Obama today in Florida! Woohoo!
How many times can Republicans just play off these callous, insensitive and ignorant remarks as a "joke"?
They're not jokes. These people know EXACTLY what they are saying and to pawn it off as a joke after the fact is a pathetic and convenient excuse to hide your desperation as you avoid to get swept out of office and out of the American consciousness.
It's nice to actually see her apologize. Wow that I think is a first.
The sad part is because of her wreckless statements you have quacks like Michele Bachmann running around with her own take off comments on that supposed mistake by Palin.
Then you have Congressional Members of the GOP saying that the media should investigate Democrats in Congress for being Anti -American. How shameful are the politicians in the GOP?
Michelle Bachmann should be ashamed of herself, but I'm sure she's not.
I do appreciate the apology Palin~ Now you should reflect on your attacks on Obamas character your lies about Abuse of Power and your racists rallies.~ You still have a lot more to apologize for.
Does anyone really care what she says anymore. I change the channel.
I'm so looking forward to seeing Sarah Palin share defeat with John McCain, and I hope she returns to Alaska to face impeachment.
FOOL. She is a FOOL and so are the people that vote for McSame.
Just because you apologize doesn't change the fact that you meant what you said. I've always believed that the first thing that comes out of your mouth is what you meant to say.
How many times has she had to "clarify" (basically take back) one of her separatist comments? what a joke!
And if Obama is inexperienced, having actual foreign policy experience, education, etc. what does that make Sarah "I can see Russia" Palin???? The VP qualifications should be right up there with the President's in case of a tragedy. Does anyone actually believe Sarah Palin could handle a Cuban missile crisis? Seriously?
The only reason I will vote for McCain is. Hillary Clinton. yes Hillary Clinton if obama wins Hilary wont be able to run for president in 2012 and 2016 she be to old to run . I will ask all democrats to vote for McCain and if McCain wins Hillary will have a chance to run again for president in 2012 and she will win.
For someone who doesn't blink, she sure has to bactrack a lot.
Palin should get off the patriotic kick since her hubby was and probably still is a member of the Alaska Independence Party. She has supported them and given speeches at their rallies. As far as thanking Biden for the warning, she needs to remember that Charlie Black and Joe Lieberman, two McCain supporters and campaign advisers, said early in the general election that an attack on American soil would help McCain win the election and that a world crisis would be good for the McCain campaign.
According to Biden a vote for obama means a crisis?
<-–sick and tired of Palin
She's an idiot!
My grandmother taught me long time ago that what comes up out of the mouth comes from the heart and once you have spoken words, its a little difficult to take back.
I have no doubt in my mind as to what Palin and others meant by their repeated remarks about "real America." Wake up folks, we are no longer living in the 30's, 40's, 50's or 60's. Whether some want to see the diversity shaping this nation or not, diversity will rule in the future. Many of our thoughts and feelings are not embedded in us as they were in our ancestors. America has no right to SHOVE DEMOCRACY down the throats of other countries, when there is still so much HATRED still alive and well in America. Thanks to the political war, that Hatred reared its ugly head. Now we as a nation must deal with it and let the old timers know that we will not tolerate this absurd set of behaviors anymore.
did joe apologize for his patriotic comment about tax payers
Well fortunately for her, she won't be coming to Washington, you know, the heart of Anti-America.
Did she also say that we need John McCain to come to Washington to fix it? Where was he the last 26 years???? I know he loves to separate himself from congress, but he has been here all along....
I am sick of people slamming her for saying the VP is in charge of the senate. Per our constitution the VP is the president of the senate!
"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.
The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States. "
As you can see above, if the VP is in the senate session, they are at that time president of the senate!
Aw shucks, Sarah. I thought we could trust you to always tell the truth. And since you have always tried to unite people in a positive way, this is shocking!
And Joe, if you read the whole sentence, is right, but what he should have said was that 'America' will be tested. He was talking to folks as if Obama was President, thus the context of his statements.
HELLO..?
How else can you take a comment that specifies particular areas??
"... in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."
Hello
"We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit..."
It is CRYSTAL CLEAR !!
The Rockie & BullWinkle Campaign has flown way OFF Course and lost their bearings....
No need to apologize McPalin, as no one is listening or paying attention to you. We are all just waiting until you back your bags and go back to Alaska where you can continue abusing your power and being unethical. Barack the Vote!!
Obama/Biden '08
I do not like her or her politics, but I do appreciate the fact that she could apologize for this. I wish more politician swould just admit when they are wrong. Even still, Barack has got my vote!!!!
Hindsight is 20/20... the fact is that Palin has always had that small town mentality, that someone Joe six-pack from Wasilla is more patriotic that someone living in a big city.. or anyone who identifies themselves as liberal or progressive.
I wonder which "area" I live in?
Clearly–she's lamely attempting to target the flag waving but blind and deaf.
Like Murtha another fine example of just the kind of politicians we "do not" want representing us in Washington.
Dear Sarah Palin –
You are a joke. I can't wait until your fifteen minutes of fame are over and you go back to Alaska where you belong.
We don't need your kind dividing our great country spewing hate.
WE ARE TAKING BACK OUR COUNTRY!
Go away already
Sarah – we dont care about what you have to say. We know you are the anti-everyone's else religion and race.
we need a republican america, not a democratic america. under a
nobama administration – america will lose its superpower status and
become vulnerable to nations that very much wants to destroy the
united states
A little early to start running for 2012, isn't it?
America knows just how mean, petty and ignorant you are Ms. Palin.
Um Sarah...thanks but no thanks on your WAY late $100 short lame apology. You still suck and you will LOSE!
She meant every word she said, I'm not buying this apology one bit.
Does anybody doubt that the average Republican thinks that places like Iowa and Ohio are "more American" than New York City or, God forbid, California?
Stupid is, what stupid does.
No need to apologize for your stupidity. America has learned to expect this from you!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!
Obama/Biden '08
Not convincing Sarah Palin, you have continually produced nasty soundbites and encouraged division, hostility and worse at your rallies, take responsibility, it is the ethical thing to do........oh wait.........
MONTANAN FOR OBAMA
BIG SKY COUNTRY TURNING BLUE!!!!!!!!!
The full Biden quote includes this last sentence. "They, re going to want to test him and they're going to find out this guys got steel in his spine." Last night CNN and everyother news organization failed to include the full quotation. May of us remember how the media let Bush savage Gore with the innacurate, "I invented the internet". Please do not let this happen again.
She hates Ameicans who do not agree with her crazy ideas!
At this point,
I could really care less what this GOP puppet has to say.
After Nov. 4th, this self proclaimed pitbull can take her hind parts back to Alaska. She has just killed any potential of having a political career on the National stage.
Deja vu!!! Anyway, according to Jack Cafferty, among the few countries which favor the Repubs are the Philippines and Georgia (two countries at the bottom of the economic totem pole). Georgia is the US’s protégé but the Philippines? One rationale for the latter is that they are staunch Catholics who are pro-life, etc. However, if they follow the deviant path that McCain and Palin are taking, they should realize that St. Peter would slam the door in the faces of these two transgressors if they try to enter the pearly gates. Wake up tagaloggers!
She incites mobs to violent behavior. Where's the apology for THAT??
Is anyone listening to her anyway? Who cares what she says. She's gonna go back to the cave she crawled out of after losing the election.
You have been SORRY indeed in this political process. If you
continue to be apart of the process please do some soul searching
and come back with mature personal growth lady!!!!
Anyone who listens to Cindy McCain is a crack head too!
Both Palin and McCain are Socialist! Who care about these sellout of America! They have no plans to speak of all they talk about is hate!
First! McCain begged money form Russia that says it all! He is not an American citizen any way! He was born in Panama!
Second! The Republicans are trying to supress the vote now they are trying to supress the American people giving to the canidate that they like if he or she is not Republican!
This woman doesn't even write her own speeches and still screws up. You betcha!
I don't live in one of those "Pro-American" areas...according to John McCain's brother I live in "Communist Northern Virginia".
WE DON'T ACCEPT...GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM..YOU ARE A HATE MONGER AND A GOP PUPPET.
She can't have it both ways, although she is not smart enough yet to realize when she contradicts herself. Since her husband was an active member of the organization in attempting to get Alaska to secede from the U.S., I don't think she has the right to decide which parts are pro-America. The fact that McCain chose her for V.P. shows that he certainly doesn't put Country first. He has strayed far from the McCain I used to respect and all he cares about is accomplishing his goal of power as President. As he said himself, he went to Washington to change Washington and Washington changed him instead. He should be ashamed for keeping the media away from Palin but then he doesn't have much respect for women anyway, as shown by his voting record.
I don't know why the GOP is making a big deal about a historically accurate statement.............Obama will be watched and tested like no other president ever....................Remember we have a lot that will not vote for a Black Man.................So Biden was speaking the truth.........Remember he has been around Washington for almost 3 decades.................
Apology NOT accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!... to late too little Palin...
Let me get this straight – Sarah Palin is calling into question Obama's readiness for the job? Who is she to question anyone's readiness?
Who needs Tina Fey for this kind of comedy?
So will she also apoligize for Troopergate.
You know the bi-partisan investigation where she was found GUILTY, for "Abuse of POWER".
This woman is like the character in the Southwest Airlines commercials with two faces. One says one thing and the other has to contradict the first statement. Her head has to spin around so many times in one day it is no wonder she sounds like an air-head.
Gosh, darn. That "foot-in-mouth" disease is awful, isn't Hun? (wink, wink).
AND GET A HAIR CUT – YOUR BANGS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!!!
This from a Pentacostal "Christian " ??
Heaven Please Protect America from the Influence of this Misguided poor lost soul. Forgive her Lord, for she knows not what she does...
Amen
Also, Please protect us from hers & "all forms of Witch Craft"
too late palin
TAINO, the coming crisis is a fact having nothing to do with the identity of the next president. It will happen.
If we're wise, we'll elect the team that at least acknowledges the possibility that there will be real challenges.
This woman makes my stomach churn in knots; even worse than Geraldine Ferraro.
I'd like to know just what she did mean when she said that.
Quite honestly, I also find it kinda funny when they criticize Joe Biden for saying there would be an international crisis to deal with, as if implying that Barack Obama is going to have one on purpose. Kinda grasping at straws here, Johnny Boy.
You've already pulled the trigger and field dressed that moose! You can't take it back!! Apology not accepted or believed!
Maybe you can try apologizing for abusing your powers in Alaska too.
It has come to the point that no matter what Barack or Joe or anyone else in the Obama camp say...McCain and his rovian campaign leaders spin it ... WE need steady leadership..Not Spin Leadership
PS ..Palin..appology NOT accepted......blackmail wont work this year
Dear Sarah,
PLEASE go home to Alaska. The "real" and "patriotic" America is interested in getting our country back on track in all areas – the economy, healthcare, the wars, the environment, energy, education, foreign affairs, trade, the deficit, etc. You clearly are unqualified in ALL of those areas and WOMEN across this country are frankly appalled and insulted to have you on the ticket.
Highly unlikely CNN will post this but seriously Sarah – you are a sad excuse for a vice presidential candidate and are only on the ticket because McCain had NO ONE ELSE to bring. Are you seriously proud to be on the ticket with him????????
That's how she came across to me...it sounded like she was saying that any blue state or blue county was not included in the "pro-American areas of this great nation."
I'm sick to death of the do as I say not as I do mentality of Palin...it's OK for her to something off the cuff because she apologized for it...but let Obama or Biden say something she tries to rip them a new one!
Look at how condescending she is being about the comment Biden made over the weekend about the potential for a crisis to happen shortly after Obama becomes President....I am so tired of this negative politicing...
Is it November 5th yet?
I wish we did not have to take her back. She is a disgrace to thinking women across this country. As I await your full interview, I hope that you asked tough questions with follow up. She is good with the beauty queen questions, and the lines prepared for her, but good grief...Please quit pandering to this pretender.
There was no misunderstanding Palin. You were pretty clear.
Like so many of your right-wing loony friends, you believe that anyone who disagrees with you is unpatriotic.
You are borderline fascist and your tepid 'apology' isn't accepted.
Such unabashed hatred for Sarah Palin and only on CNN.
I've got to hand it to her though...she seems to have a grasp as to the intellect of Joe Biden. Lucky for Joe, only one foot will fit in his mouth at a time and you want this guy for VP, a heart beat away from the President?
you must take us for fools, America's landscape is changing. And we need to change with it. Obama is an inclusive campaign. All Palin is here to do is divided, with so called red blooded American's on one side and the rest of us NOT that American.
The tide is changing either go with it or get swept away.
independent.
Between "troopergate" and McCain's losing effort, she's beginning to back down a tad...thinking about 2012, etc.
What a lame non-apology with its "misunderstood" and "if" - she knows very well what she was smearingly insinuating. But amazing nonetheless that the words "I apologize," however undercut, actually crossed her high-gloss lips.
What exactly does "Pro-America" mean anyways? Does a disagreement with my government's direction make me "anti-American"? I'm confused...
WILL someone PLEASE tell Drama Queen that JOE isn't REALLY JOE? HELLO!!!!!!!!!! Their are REAL Joe's out here that could have helped with their campaign by TELLING the truth about their incomes and would have been very much the REAL AVERAGE unemployed Joe, John, Sarah, Sally, Mary and ect who PAID their taxes.......
Vetting is IMPORTANT for every Joe, John, Sarah, Sally, Mary and ect……………………
The sad part is, we know exactly what you meant and we know that you believe every word.
In two weeks, you'll be able to go back keeping an eye on Russia for us.
TAINOPOWER: Your rationalization is ridiculous. First – if you support Hillary you clearly would NOT be voting for McCain. Secondly, Hillary has already stated that she WILL NOT run for Pres. again – whether you like it or not. Third – how will she be too old in 2016 – McCain is Seventy freakin Two!
To TAINOPOWER
If your voting for McCain just because of Hillary you need to have your head checked out. He is so wrong for this country right now. All that comes out of his mouth is lies and hate. America does not need that right now especially with two wars going on all ready. But if you want to vote for him go ahead as you can see we DON'T need your vote!
Says the secessionist form Alaska.
Nobody cares about this lame apology. Palin could apologize non-stop until election night and it still would not be sufficient.
Now if she would admit that she has no business being considered for the position of vp because she doesn't have a clue what the job entails, I will forgive her.
Once again we know why McCain has to keep baby-sitting her and why she is so totally unqualified to potentially be our president.
She didn't apologize for saying it, she apologized that we heard what she said.
Gov. Palin, there are so many more comments you need to apoligize for. At least this is a start. Can you also do an interview on say Meet the Press, This Week in Washington, heck, i'll even settle for The View at this point.
It has been pointed out many times in this campaign, in some cases directed at Sarah Palin, no one is adequately prepared for the problems that face the president of the United States. As for patriotic vs. un-American and "real" America vs. "liberal" America...we have become a bitterly divided nation on so many levels, and the McCain/Palin attempts to exploit this are NOT what we need at this point. It smacks of a wounded animal backed into a corner, lashing out at anything that comes near it.
Why is it that Obama never aoplogizes for his mis-statements and outright lies?
Nice Change.
We have all bought the Myth.
OMG now she wants to apologize they begging people for votes, Pailn keeps putting her foot in her mouth.
I can't vote on the Pailn/McCain ticket their screw ups.
It's not Pailns fault, its the headt of the ticket McCain, he continues to keep her on the ticket, well sink in your poop togther.
OBAMA 08
I truly believe the Palin comment was taken out of context. Another thing the main stream media "jumps" on at any opportunity to beat down the Republican candidates. Govenor Palin, I know in my heart, meant there are some very, very "pro American" pockets in the small towns of America. I give her great kudos for always addrsessing the small town values and people of those towns. Democrats think they are the only ones taking up for the little guy. No. Republicans have EVERYbody in their thoughts, prayers, and fundamental ideas.
This woman put her son in danger to have him born in Alaska after her water was broke, she did a speech, next an 8 hour flight, then a 45 min. drive. How many mothers would in danger thier child to have them born in Alaska? She care nothing for America if it is not about feeding the hate deep within her soul!
TAINOPOWER:
You are playing a dangerous game.
Palin's apology means NOTHING. Because she still BELIEVES what she said.
Too little, too late!
Damage done.
Sarah Palin, Please tell everyone to vote for OBAMA
since, everyone is already heading in that direction because of your so many stupid remarks.... you are spreading hate.... Spread some "patriotic" love lol
Once again . . .Open mouth, insert feet!
Palin is right those small little pockets she is referring to are the most racist little areas of the country. She said it right the first time. Racism breeds in these small little communities. And if she says Obama isn't ready for a crisis and to be president, how moronic that she be the VP nomination for a candidate that has fought cancer numerous times in the past few years, and could be the next president if something happens. Well golly be. An idiot walks amoungst the Republican party.
I am so sick of this woman. Please.. take your ignorance and go back to Alaska. Unstable/unable ticket.
P lease Sara go home it is enough for you. Now we know who you are.
Yeah, all of us here in NYC and Washington DC aren’t REAL AMERICANS. Please Mrs. Palin, don’t ever speak of 9/11 again. You are repugnant.
In the words of Fred G. Sanford....
"YOU BIG DUMMY"
Power Abuser! Go home, so you can get Impeached!
Alaska Independence Party = Real America.
Please someone tell them if they dont like America, MOVE OUT OF ALASKA!!!!!! I heard something about Russia being pretty close....
Palin is a daydreamer who just says anything without thinking. What is wrong with this lady? She just wants to please her dad (Mcsame) that she is doing her home work.
If Obama had said some parts of the country seems to be more pro america than others it would be drawn out in the media for days. It is sad that this woman is willing to think that some people love this country more than others. Its scary to think that she can be our next president!
Mccain/palin thinks that they can say and do anything without being asked questions. Think again! We need answers from you too mr Mccain!
G Gordon Liddy maybe?
obama/biden 08
This woman is pathetic. Who could be less prepared to be VP let along the Prez than this idiot! She is more erractic than John McCain, say one thing today and then something else tomorrow. It must be an exhausting job being Sarah Palin!
oh yeah
ABUSE OF POWER GUILTY AS CHARGED
APOLOGIZE TO ALSAKA ABOUT THAT!!
Problem is that we did not misunderstand you. We know exactly what you meant. As for Biden, he was just pointing out the fact that Obama is ready for any test. Little fact for you Palin, since we all know you do not understand history, both Clinton and Bush were "tested" at the beginning of their term. With McCain we would be getting a different message every other day.
I am a Republican who is deeply embarrased by McCain's choice of Palin. I will be voting for Barack Obama he has earned my vote.
I think that Joe Biden's point, however badly made, was that there are more crises looming for us in America and the next president will have to deal with whatever comes along. Now, that president can be Sen. Obama, with his calm, reasonable approach to problems and his amazing crew of the brightest minds in economics, foreign policy, etc., or the hot-headed, act first, think later McCain. There is a third possibility, one that sends shivers of fear down my spine – that within six months McCain keels over and Palin is president. Then the crisis hits and she gets us all dead or in soup lines, or whatever.
go home back to your igloo PALIN!
Since she is playing the "Patriot" part now, why hasn't anyone asked her about the role her husband plays in the seccessionist group in Alaska that would like to take that state out of the Union? How un-American is that?
it's ok sarah you were just pandering for votes.
I was very offended with Pro-American and Anti-American statements made by Palin and Michelle Bachman. How dare they to question americans patriotisam? The funny thing here is First few days of campagin we heard Obama was not ready to lead. When the first debate proved otherwise we started hearing about Fanny and Freddie then it was Aiyrs. Now it is socialism. So this is what the change McCain campagin meant.. Good for you . There is only one reason Obama is leading and that is he is smart and McCain is not.
She is preparing for her own run for the Oval Office. This has been all about her since getting Mc Cain's attention. She has always said Mc Cain and I will... She thinks of herself as his equal.
That woman Mc Cain gave he GOP..
DON'T WORRY PALIN, US CITY SLICKERS WILL BE ALRIGHT COME NOVEMBER 4TH... JUST WATCH!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
That's it ? Say whatever you want and apologize?
First you need to talk about the Freedom Alaska campaign that your husband is part of.
You are just a trash talker and America right now dont need people like you. Go back and be the hockey joe six pack alaska independence rebel and watch russia from your window.
PALIN head way north w/ your; "Lipstick", American flag bikini and Shotgun and don't return...
She has started a firestorm and now it is up to the campain to clear this mess up. Pro America and you want us to play the game with you Sarah. No way No how and No McCain.........
Obama/Biden 08
we know what you meant.....
why do they not report the ENTIRE comment by Biden. he goes on to say, that if we are tested, they will find that Barack has steel in his spine. in his way, meaning Barack would be strong and stand up to the testers....they never talk about the ENTIRE comment.....
anyway @TAINOPOWER: sad and pathetic!
Come on the only reason is that people are mad about your little misspeak, but again it's too little too late. We see you for what you are even not talking to the press it's clear that this reace and your shot at VP are almost over for you and john. Good bye and good luck!
THE "BASE" is just that: base, ignorant xenophobes who are a brown shirt and a goosestep away from turning America into a fascist theocracy. Stop calling them low information voters! They are just plain stupid and programmed by hate talk radio and the propaganda wing of the Reptilican Party, Faux News!
And you so-called Christians- Jesus was about love not hate!
To "tainopower" – YOU are an idiot. Did you not hear Hillary when she pointed out the DEVASTATION this country will suffer under 4 more years of republican "leadership"???? Get real – Obama for 8 and THEN Hillary for 8... THAT is the way a DEMOCRAT would vote – as well as independents and republicans who understand the needs of the country.
All the huff & puff over Rezko this & Rezko that but why aren't they talking about Rezko now??? Could it be because Governor Palin granted a bid to a contractor in Alaska worth about $3,500,000.00 in exchange for a free house??? The contractor agreed to build Sarah Palin's entire house for free as a return favor right before she left office in Wasilla. Gee, could that be the reason could it could it could it???
My god, this has to be the very first apology from her since she first arrived on the national scene. Cheney and her really are one and the same!
Why is CNN not talking about he comment made when Gov Palin said she will be "In Charge of the Senate" This was said yesterday 10/20/2008.
She is such a liar! Go home, you are a failure and a joke! You are sorry in more ways than one.
Yeah, get all over Palin for her comment, yet justify Murtha for his racist comments. Once again, same ol' story with the Obamiots – they can say whatever they want, but persecute the Republicans if they say anything similar.
Oh, and to AUSTIN, TX, from the Poll of Polls post – I have a life, that's why I'm voting for McCain. I work hard for my money, and don't share yours and Barry's view that more of it should go to pay for lazy slacks (probably like yourself) to sit on your butts all day and complain about how 'the man' is holding you down.
Michelle Obama is hiding something. She's got some junk in her trunk.
bout time she apologizes for something
Too late. You suck. Go away.
And btw, please resign as Gov of Alaska. It's an amazing place that would be way way better without the likes of you.
TAINOPOWER IS AN IDIOT !
Her apology sounds a lot like the one I get from my three year old. He is sorry when he gets caught doing something he should not be and he might just do it again in a few minutes if he thinks it's fun.
She has shown to be incapable of being President-the one qualifier someone in the VP office should have. She is a competent politician but she does not have the intellectual strength needed to run a country like this.
Soemtimes candidates make honest mistakes, this is not one of those times.
Palin has attack Obama to no end, but she has yet to release more than two years of her taxes. Where is her 1040 for the years she was an oil and business regulator?
I bet she made more than $250,000 during those years. I think most people would recognize she is not the typical hockey mom and does not relate to joe six pack/plumber either.
National Media dig more into this. We heard a thousand stories about Rev. Wright, and Bill Ayers.
Wait – Did I read she did an interview with CNN?! Am I dreaming?
Holy crap!! Palin's "APOLOGIZING"!!! OMG this is a historical first for the Mccain/Palin campaign!! I'm in complete shock I didn't think "sorry" was in the Mccain campaign's vocabulary truly amazing!! She should apologize for that it was rude, insulting, nasty, and truly condesending to all americans. Go back to Alaska Caribou Barbie nobody wants in the lower 48!!
Who is this douchebag?
Damage has already done Gov. Palin... But apology accepted. After all we are all Americans...
I got a sense that both McCain-Palin realized election is over. Because they are virtually campaigning in Traditional Red States, trying to save Republican Senate/House members who are fighting for their political life in this election...
It would be nice if CNN printed the full quote from Palin including the "Washington, D.C." portion that preceded the portion CNN chose to print. No bull and no bias?
comment about Palin: "We don't need your kind...."
Can you imagine if someone dared to speak this about Obama?
Sorry – I guess i am on the List in the New Order.
Yeah, Here Here Now, I noticed that too! Every time someone brings up Palin's negatives, the only positive thing they can say is she electrifies or energizes the base. What is she, the energizer bunny? Well, I guess the old farts need a good JOLT to know they're alive! Did you see the video on MySpace, I think it was, where McCain kept looking at her butt? That must be what they mean about "electrifies" haha! They're not talking about politics, they're talking about "lipstick" and "heels" words that Palin used from the get-go to get noticed. Thanks, Sarah, I wouldn't have noticed your "beauty queen" status otherwise – funny, I thought we were looking for a Vice President of the United States, not "Mrs Alaska"!! Go home, Palin. If you can be vice president, so can I and everyone else. You're no more qualified. And you weren't funny on Saturday Night Live, either.
Kirk,
What she said was that as VP she would be able to get in their (the senate) and help make policy decisions. Completely not true. The only power she has over the senate is in the event of a tie breaker. I also know the constitution. And I also know what she said.
What's the difference between that and "Joe Six Pack"? She's saying the same thing
Sarah Palin apologizes for her small town pro America comment. I feel she owes Barack obama an apology for her smear tactics... i. e. calling him a socialist, a pal of terrorists.etc. And sarah Palin should apologize to the American people for her abusing her power in Alaska as Governor! Hopefully things will settle down in 2 weeks when President Obama is sworn in. And Sarah Palin can return to Alaska and support the First Dude in his secession party in Alaska!
she's a loser–who cares what she says–all she does is spout out evil , divisive comments. She's a racist and she's been caught in every media this time. Its time to pack up her stuff and go back moose hunting where nobody cares how stupid she is. God , I feel so sorry for her husband , he must be brain dead !
Give me a break! All Americans are not patriotic!
We can all look forward to "Midnight in America" as Obama weakens America and strengthens a UN type organization, with real power, that he can lead!
POTUS is just another step to Obama's real dream! As Farrakhan stated: Obama is Messiah!
Obama masquerades as an angel of light, 2 Corinthians 11:14, but that is not good news!
Typical GOP to distort Biden's comments. All President's get tested. His point was who do want when that first big test comes for the next President, the calm, steady Obama with experienced advisors, or McCain who over reacts for political gain and advisors who obviously encourage him to do so.
The "pro-American" comment she made is exact what she thinks. There is no misunderstanding there.
SP is the most annoying person on TV (together with Hilton and Britney) I have ever seen. Please, American, make her disappear after Nov. 4th. Can't wait that day to come!
MH from Canada
Republicans really do believe that no one is as "patriotic" as they are. They don't care if their people are pedophiles, adulterers, unethical or crooks, the likes of Bush/Cheney. Just wrap yourself in that flag and you're good to go in that party.
I'm sure there are enough real Americans who are ready to vote and we will get past all their attempts to throw this election and a good, decent American will be our next President. God Bless Barack Obama!
People are really getting SICK AND TIRED of Palin's negativism, ignorance, polarization, lies and offensive remarks. She is out of control and should be sent across the way to Siberia to live in exile.
WHAT A BOOB PALIN IS......
Hey....all you Obama supporters with your hands out .... shut up! Whenever Obama has something "slip" from his lying lips that's just fine and liberal media establishements (such as CNN) cover it up. So you guys can just take a flying leap and quit counting on my tax dollars to fund your next bag of blow or your next trip to Walmart. Get jobs you worthless pieces of garbage. Yeah, like CNN is going to post this.
Okay Palin apologizes for how it came across but can she clarify what she meant then.
It's just one of the many things she is going to have to apologize for in the coming weeks before she finally heads back to the Alaskan wilderness where men are secessionist and moose are scare...of her....every time she opens her mouth, she says something that is going to catch up with her on the other end. As to her comment re: Senator Biden's comment over the weekend, she is so full of herself. She is not fit to be Joe Biden't COFFEE GIRL, especially since she is already McCain's coffee girl.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN AND YES WE ARE ALREADY VIA THE EARLY VOTE!!
Palin gave McCain a nice bump for about two weeks. He should have picked Tim Pawlenty, who would have been a great choice. Pawlenty would have shored up alot of the independent vote, kept his base in tact, and give him a great chance to win a democratic territoty in Minnesota. But alas McCain chose Palin. This idiot move is why he is going to lose, and he deserves to.
For Palin to suggest that America will only be tested should Obama be elected to office because of his "inexperience" is beyond moronic. Another twist, another spin.
America is tested daily. DAILY.
We could just as easily, and just as feasibly, be attacked due to McCain's "advanced age" and "questionable judgement", and Palin's "perceived idiocy" as well as the fact that she is mocked and ridiculed WORLDWIDE.
btw, I live in a small town in NC that is as Pro-American as the big cities and we don't want you here either Palin.
Better an inexperienced Obama than a trigger-happy McCain.
too little, too late!
also, but since I am not from one of those little pockets of america, that is not as pro america areas of this great state of america also, that means that by not accepting your apologies, I will not be accepted also to pro america, too!
lol
Why has she not gone on Larry king? It is a tradition that all VEEPS go on Larry King! On July 28th McCain promised that his VP pick would go on the show! THey have refused to let her go on! What do you think Larry is too hard hitting of an interview? Hes not even close to what shows you should be on! I would love to see her on 'The View" so she can defened herself to her critics! Obama had the guts to go right into FOX's lions den with O'Riley didnt he?
GO ON LARRY SARHA! YOU CAN DO SNL BUT NOT KING?
I don't like this woman.
Bill Maher had the perfect comment on this. In november she is going to find out just how many voters are in those cities as she looses.
"I'm sorry that you got it wrong" is not an apology, it's a further insult.
I would wish for her to step down, but every time she sticks her pumps in her mouth, Obama's numbers go up!
All McCain and Palin can say during their campaign stumps are "a noun, a verb, and Obama."
What is the matter with them? Can't they talk or focus about the issues.
What about other statements, Gov. Palin, such as -
Calling people terrorists, socialist, etc
Denying ethical violation
Having more excecutive experience ...
Invading Pakisthan ...
Balance federal deficit (10 trillion) within the first tem. No WAY.
Bridge to no where ..
etc.
Too late..now go back to Alaska and kill a moose to make yourself feel better!
TAINOPOWER, what is wrong with you? Hillary lost. A vote for McCain because of Hillary is just stupid. You must not have children or grandchildren because you are gamblng with their future.
Since she is avail for the voters hearing pleasure, Gov. Palin will you shed more light on your speech for the Alaska Independence Party??????
TAINOPOWER will you stop using this story. Palin will be groomed by the GOP and will have a ticket using her VP exp., that is if the people fall for your trickery attempt. Please pick up your check in Alaska before Nov 4th, you didn’t fool the voters…………
She should not be elected BECAUSE she electrifies the base. That base is the reason we've been stuck with George Bush the last 8 years. If only she would electrocute the base. I'd certainly support that.
Sarah, dear, please just go home....now. Please?
I am sick and tired of Sarah Palin and Grandpa Cain!! I hope America
will be smart to elected the Democrats on November 4 and not to mention the whole issue of "Race" it's disgusting we should never judge someone by the color wake up people!!!
Peace
Palin has yet another apology to make! I just heard her on Wolf Blitzer give an Interview with a Cnn Reporter and she has again stated untruths about statements Joe Biden made during a Rally. And I heard the Video on Biden's statements real time. Palin ummmed and hummmmed and obviously didn't have one clue about what Joe Biden truly said! Someone needs to turn her Key Off! She's not only an idiot she's also very dangerous conversationally to have at large!
The fact of the matter is, that has been the typical Republican't response when it comes down to winning an election: When all else fails, scare the people, or point out the difference between "us" and "them". That is the very reason McBush has resorted to calling Sen. Obama by his whole name, as if to say he is not as American as say John Sidney McBush, or John William McBush. In the end, yes, we do have differences, but if you want some real "American names", how about Tecumseh, or Sitting Bull, or Sacajawea, or Squanto? Those are "real American" names. To try to frighten people into voting for you is nothing more than using terrorism to win an election, and that is pathetic. Shame on you, McBush!
Just like in Peter Pan, every time a child stops believing, a fairy loses their wings.
Every time Sarah Palin speaks, the GOP loses a voter! (and those listening lose an IQ point)
To Kirk in PA: Yes, the VP is president of the senate. Which means that the VP presides over the senate when it is in session. The VP, however, is not in charge of the senate. Palin is making it sound like she gets to run around and tell senators how to vote. That is the job of the whips. I believe the VP should be the point man for the president in the senate. There to argue his case and viewpoint, kind of a liason. But no, Palin is wrong, the VP is not in charge.
Proposed Obama Campaign response:
While we admired and were impressed with Gov. Palin's new-found grasp of sentence structure and grammar, we still believe she is unqualified for the office for which she is a candidate.
everytime SARAH PALIN open her mouth, I feel so sick and want to call 911......oh, thanks GOD..this will be over soon...PALIN could return home and enjoy 'hunting'....
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
SO MUCH HATE. BE GONE.
For someone to say that I'm voting for McCain so that Hillary must not understand the state of our country. We are hard times!
The Horror!
shame on her............. thinking attacks can put her cheap ticket into white house.
Palin want a cracker?
I'd like to see her explain the thinking (if any) behind those lines. I've owned birds that expressed themselves just as well.
Will she apologize for saying (before she was nominated to be VP) that it was God's plan for the US to invade Iraq?
The only reason I am not voting for McCain is because of this BIZARRE choice of running mate. Palin may hold some of the same views as the far Right of the party, but she DOES NOT BELONG ON THE NATIONAL TICKET.
WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?
TOO LATE.
Already voted for Obama and am campaigning for him.
Sarah we know you can't help it...you're just plain stupid. You must have read your cue card wrong. But really, we understand. Go home to Alaska, the state you want to be seperate from the USA.
Seriously??? Apology?? Too late. I am sure those outside "the pockets" do not accept your apology, Ms. Palin.
Gosh! That "foot-in-mouth" disease is awful, isn't Hun? (wink, wink).
AND GET A HAIR CUT – YOUR BANGS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!!!
First of all, saying "if that's the way it came across, I apologize" is not the same thing as apologizing for what she said. Second, if it was "misunderstood," how exactly were we supposed to understand it?
SPT from New York City – American enough for Bin Laden, not American enough for Sarah Palin.
Palin in just what America don't need! another neophyte pretending to be more than she is for ego's sake! HAVE A NICE FLIGHT BACK TO ALASKA WHEN THE ELECTION IS OVER!
Too late. You have done irreperable harm to your campaign and party.
Go back to Alaska and face the music there.
Sorry – Sarah knew exactly what she was saying and it is clear that it is what the GOP clings to today. If you support Obama you're not a patriot and if you support McCain you are, that's their latest manipulative tool. Nothing could be more devisive than this latest utterance. So how does the country fallout on the Palin patriot scale – which areas count and which are just too darned liberal to be considered patriots?
Palin needs to apologize every time she opens her mouth.
She is ludicrous.
Voting for McCain (age 72) because Hillary will be 68–and too old–in 2016 doesn't "add up".
It was about time you apologized!!!!
GO BACK TO ALASKA WE DO NOT NEED YOU IN WASHINGTON, YOU ARE NOT WELCOM
BARRACK ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE WAY 08
Hey Tainopower,
Don't be a fool.. What are you nuts. Because that's not what Hilary would want!!!
So your going to go against her wishes? That's not what she has said she wants she wants her supporters to vote for Obama!!
This just shows that you are not a good friend and most of all that you can not be trusted. Sad.. Very SAD!!
Please quit and go home you America hater!
To the Palin's Puppies;
Get a life! She is inexperienced, obnoxious, and has foot in mouth disease. She is just riding the McCain train so she can get her little annoying voice onto the Mainland America. Please keep her in Russia where she belongs...oops Alaska!
Wildwood Crest, NJ
Does Palin know how to take a breath when she is speaking? She just rambles on and on about nothing?
As an old Southern woman, I well understand the innuendos in this area. The comment is anti-black,gay,Democratic. If Ms. Palin were blonde(another slam) I might understand her ignorance. As she is not, I believe she is the GOP attack dog,indeed. As we say in the Deep South, bless her pitiful soul.
She is about as sorry as Bachman Turncoat Overdrive.
Why is it that nearly everything she says has to come with a disclaimer and/or apology?? I'm sick and tired of "what I meant to say was..." coming out of the McCain/Palin campaign. As the President/VP, you should just SAY WHAT YOU MEAN!
what will Obama supporters think of your chosen one, when the years go by and no check in the mail from uncle sam... get a job folks and carry your own weight
"We need to thank Joe for the warning," Palin told CNN's Drew Griffin.
Which Joe?
Six-pack or the Plumber ? or the Lie-berman dude?
Why is it that a great segment of Americans did not see it that way? Only a trickster would try and scream foul at the drop of a hat. The scream is fake, and intentionaly to decieve. Its the Democrats who are the ones who are making the fatal mistake in thinking they can decieve the Truth. It will come down on them like the silver hammer on their head. Their enemy is the Truth itself, not Mrs.Palin or Mr.McCain. As long as Mrs.Palin and Mr.McCain call out for Goliath to come out and show his FACE, the rest will take care of itself.
Too late. You're still a dope.
This comment is for TAINOPOWER you have got to be kidding right Im sorry I am worried about the world Im not going to give McCain my vote just so Hillary can run in 2012 it wouldn't matter if she was old just as long as she is good health John McCain is not that is the problem with his age and who are you to say she would even win we have no idea what this world is going to be like in 2012 or 2016.
***VOTED EARLY FOR OBAMA & BIDEN 2008*****PLEASE JOIN US**
This woman need to take a flight back to Alaska. She is the biggest joke in the political arena of United States.
"I don't want that misunderstood," Palin said. "If that's the way it came across, I apologize."
Then please do tell exactly what you mean. Second, don't qualify your apology which shifts the fault to the listeners for "misunderstanding" what you said. If you are sorry, say your are sorry.
This a good lady who got caught in a horrible mess and asked to do things that she would not normally do.
Although McCain tried to use her only because she was a “women”...in the end she will be ok! – while McCain will have to live with his old and discarded values of how decent women/people are treated.
Obama – with going to see his grandmother when she is ill – is TRUE sign of family and TRUE respect for the women who love us and tolerate us….women rule!
Funny how people here point to Sarah Palin's lack of experience when she actually has more experience than Barack Obama. Oh, but she's missing that vital body part.
She's sorry it got recorded and re-aired, that is all she is sorry for. We're ALL Pro-American lady, it's not our husbands who want to seceed from the country!
Apology Not Accepted!
If this were the first time she said something like this...and if a number of GOPs were not spewing the same divisive hate I might find this apology sincere, but she has repeated this theme for the last 7 weeks, beginning with her speech at the convention.
Sarah, you don't mean it, and we don't want to hear it.
I guess we (and I speak on behalf on the Anti-Americans by Palins definiton...Detroit STAND UP!) When I say...take a long jump off a short cliff! Please!!!!
She is so quick to talk junk about Barack Obama like SHES running against him...She has so much to say with NO SUBSTANCE to back it up with. No one can get near her with a pen, pad, mircophone and camera...AND I MEAN NO WHERE!!!
I cannot stomach her another day, Nov.4 can't come soon enough!
Palin is a incompetent liar. She is suppose to be a Christian? What a hipocrate! She's not fit to be dog catcher!!
Ms. Palin please go back to your small town in Alaska!
You can rejoin the AIP and then run for President of ALASKA!
O and Joe '08
And all of this coming from Sara Palin??? Is she qualified to be President, which is the job of the vice president on Day 1????
I think Palin cosider only ppl from Alaska are "pro America" but she is pro Alasko not America.
oh so stupid! that is why I am voting for Barack!
Sara Palin is the biggest joke – I can't believe she gets so much attention. McCain is even dumber than I thought he was by picking her. It's almost as if he feels he's entitled to this presidency. If he should somehow pull off a win, I'm thinking seriously of moving to Mexico or Canada. I don't want to look at his fat ugly face for 4 years. What an embarrasment to the U.S.
Obama/Biden 08 & 12 !!!
THERE ARE TIMES WE SAY THINGS WE REALLY DON'T MEAN. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING SARAH PALIN MEANT.
WHY DO I SAY THAT?
BECAUSE SHE HAS MADE STATEMENTS LIKE THIS IN ALASKA WITH SIMILAR VARIATIONS.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED – - – BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
SHE IS LIKE A BAD CASE OF THE CRABS...SHE JUST WONT GO AWAY QUICK ENOUGH.
Go Home Sarah No one likes you here
Sarah Palin is great!!! I agree with her on 100% of the issues and think she will make a great VP!!!
For so many of you who act like she is worthless, you sure spend a lot of time attacking her and bringing her more attention!
McCain/Palin '08
Sarah said exactly what she meant and what she was programmed to say by the McCain handlers. Unfortunately, once something like that gushes out, it's on tape and no amount of shading or backtracking will change it. She's a lightweight and speaks volumes for McCain's judgment and priorities. I hope Obama doesn't just win, I hope he overwhelms them in a landslide that will tell the Republicans that their brand of hateful and divisive politics is over in all of America.
Have switched channels twice to avoid listening to the 'rapture' candidate interview on SitRoom.
But can you ask her why she wears a polar bear pin sometimes. Surely, she can not be mistaken for someone who cares about climate change and 'all God's creatures'. Is it because it is a symbol for the Alaskan Independent Party?
Oh, and if you can run down Joe the Plumber, maybe you could ask him if he was a member of the AIP when he was in Alaska also.
Palin meant what she said...she just should have said it this way...
"I like to visit places in America that are pro-Palin".
There!! I said it for her.
Obama/Biden 08
Palin needs to apologize – her comments are finally catching up with her and I'm glad people are finally speaking out about her politicial view points and her insulting words.
She is not a good chice for VP or for president – and her actions and words prove it.
She is not "the darling of the republican party" she is a very inexperienced, unknowledegable candidate for the highest office in the world, and her political views are to the extreme... She is much too extreme for a nation where all races, creeds, and colors exist. She aims for the joe six pack americans and to heck with everybody else.
That's it? Sorry you took it the wrong way? No explanation as to what she meant? I guess she hasn't been told yet what she meant.
She abused her power as governor of Alaska and broke the state ethics law. A bipartisan commission (of which a majority were Republicans) confirmed it. She's a bad risk.
Will she apologize for saying that Obama is a pal with terrorists (when it was a conservative organization that asked Obama to join a Board of Directors to preside over educational grants?)
Oh, she is finally getting a conscience about one of the many things that she is saying that she knows is not correct nor the right thing to say. If she plans to have a real political career when this is all said and done she needs to back off a lot of the things that she has said and apologize for them.
Kirk in PA,
You may know less than she does.
The VP does not control or run the Senate. This is one case where the "president" means to preside over, not to run. He (or she) only has the power to break a tie. period.
Take a civics lesson for God's sake.
Sarah, I am still waiting for your apology for being John's running mate.
BEING THE U.S VICE PRESIDENT CANDIDATE IS NOT A JOKE OR
A GAME!!!
I hope you will retire after this election.
good maybe now she can apologize for excepting Johns invitiation to be vice president sinces she obviously way out of her league and in no way aproaches being qualified.
Palin shut up before daddy put you in time out again.
Sarah Palin is beginning to remind me of the girl in the movie 'CARRIE',
who was kicked out of the Prom for being a smart mouth, then shows
up later at the Prom to "mess things up" for everyone else.
Her apology is about as sincere as President Bush apologizing for the economy he has allowed to crumble! Sara Failin' will not draw me into her...."oh, I'm so cute, please except my apology" bull crap. She meant it, every word of it and until she and McSame realized that the media wouldn't let it go, she tries to fool us! Not us, not again!
OBAMA/BIDEN -08!
Palin is a joke!!
I want Senator McCain to apologize for subjecting us to the ignorance of this woman. He put campaign first. His selection of Palin was very unAmerican.
McCain was told by Rush to pick Palin.
Rush runs today's g.o.p. Rush's talking points in morning are the g.o.p. talking points that afternoon.
The result is that the Rushpublican Party will continue to attack Obama as unpatriotic, muslim, pro-welfare, socialist, communist, inexperienced, dangerous, different and black
LOL, or not, she was actually serious about the small pocket pro-american, patriotic towns. Its ashame that the group shes targeting is in the minority these days, someone should have told her this. Its not smart to make divisive statements when you are supposed to represent all of america for all her complex and diverse culture, afterall thats what makes america.
She should apologize to America for hosting and supporting the Alaska Independence Party.
TAINOPOWER: Go vote early for Mccain and shut the hell up so we don't have to hear you whine anymore! FYI Hillary Rodham Clinton will be 65 years old in 2012 slim chance of her running at that time. Feel free to throw your vote away it's your right to do so, but STOP whinning about it!
Sigh, big sigh. Governor Palin is quite confusing; bashing Washington every day on her great drive to go live there as fast as she can. Go figure!
Have we heard Mr. Perfect apologize for much of anything? Admit he's wrong? Demonstrate anything less than a grandoise mind set? You go girl!
Palin,
You are an insult to every woman intellect! I would say to every human intellect. I am sick of watching McCain/Palin campaign. It really make me sick!! Yeah...go back to Alaska where we can't hear from you ever again.
No wonder CNN is losing to Foxnews. To make fun of Sarah Palin and act like she is an idiot when Biden puts his foot in his mouth every time he opens it.
Lady, YOU ARE BEYOND STUPID!!!
I cannot believe people are voting for McCain with Palin on the ticket!!
A VOTE for McCAIN is a VOTE of Confidence in PALIN!!!
Too late you low life. You've spouted nothing but hate and divisiveness. Go back to Alaska and belly up to your AIP-loving husband.
We don't want you here – especially in NC.
Wish I could believe you, Failin. At this point I think you are worried about damage control to your own career. You should be. You have done everything that you were told to do, and they played your song, illegally, "Isn't she lovely?". Gotta be lovely inside and out, my pretty. You have done so much damage to your own reputation, not Obama's, don't you feel even a little remorse for lying and representing yourself as a Christian and not acting like one? That, is the only thing about you that I find dispicable. Otherwise, you are smart, charming, complacent, all the things that count in a "man's" world. In my world, you lose, McMooseBushMeatKiller. Go home, don't you have a mammal to shoot?
And if McCain wins and dies within 3 months and we had to face that 6 month crisis with Palin? Who are we kidding here. She brings absolutely nothing to th table. Hey...maybe she could be president of Alaska
Such a duffus!
Sarah Palin speaking about someone's supposed lack of experience is a laugh a minute when the only foreign policy experience she has is looking out her front door to see Russia!!!
I am a democrate in a big City and sincerely accept this appology.
Palin doesn't need to blink. McCain blinks enough for both of them.
I will be glad when Obama wins and Palin and McCain can back to the whole that they crawled out from!!!
Oh, this is rich! The other vp nominee has "never" said anything to apologize for. Where would I begin?lmao!
Mrs Palin, there are many thinks for which you have to apologize. But because of your nasty demeanor, I don't believe that this apology or any other apology is sincere. The only one you care about is yourself. Should your name ever show up on any other federal ballot, I promise you a "No" vote on each and every one of them.
The country deserves better than you and McCain.
Obama/Biden 08
These comments shows where her campaign is headed
straight to the trash can
It makes you wonder how this woman got where she is without much of a resume ??????
IF she becomes Vice President and meets with leaders from other countries she won't be able to backtrack and clarify her statements. The will be totally insulted and the USA will look even worse in their eyes.
I've lived in big cities and small rural towns.... I must be
1/2 Pro-American.
TAINOPOWER are you KIDDING ME?????????????
I am a Hillary supporter but NOTHING could convince me to vote for Palin. NOTHING. You should re-think what four years of that pair in the White House will do to further destroy this country.
She was reading off a prepared script, which means it was not done accidently. I don't see any difference in this and the bitter comment from Obama. He was called on it and when he tried to explain, the only response form people was "that's what he said". So in all fairness, "that's what she said". I'm voting with Colin Powell for Obama for President.
No, it was not misunderstood. We knew EXACTLY what you meant!!
Happy to report that I just came home from early voting in my state – FLORIDA – and voted for "THAT ONE"! The voters in front and behind me were all voting for Obama – they made that perfectly clear – that's it time for change...and one of the major reasons they were RUNNING AWAY from the Repubs was this woman. The wilderness is calling you back, Sarah....
I am sick and tired of Sarah Palin initiating hate and biggot around the country and the apologized. Note that once you've said it enbeded in some white radicals. then they will say oh we stop the reteric on our campaign speeches. Once you create a monster it is hard to stop it.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i will buy that from you Palin
Why'd it take her so long to apologize for an insulting comment like that? Was she too proud? Was she afraid apologizing would be a sign of weakness? Honsetly, she has nothing to lose.
What she really means is if you are a right wing republican like her you are "Pro-America". I am not so I guess I am just an awful American.
What-ev-er!
Everything that comes out of this woman's mouth is a political statement. The only reason she is sorry for it is because people who live in cities where there are a lot of voters took offense.
She also says she is criticized because of her religion. It's not her religion, which is a christian religion, it's that she's not behaving very christian by stirring hate and division and we all know that actions speak louder than words.
At least she apologized...
SARAH HAS A LOT MORE TO APOLOGIZE FORE. AND
BCBUSH SHOULD APOLOGIZE FOR PICKING HER AS VP.
BOTH HAVE BECOME A NATIONAL DISGRACE.
O.K.
The Republicans and the Bigot Newscasters (Bill O'Reilly) wanted to LYNCH Michelle Obama because she was proud of America because of the present environment that has allowed an African American to come this far .
With due respect to Palin's attributes, Thank God that thinking Americans both Democrats and Republicans will not vote for McCain because of Gov. Palin.
Knowing his past, I hope that he did not select her because WELL she is awfully pretty.
Gerri
Caribou Barbie is HOT!
This woman is a joke, she truly feels the way she sounds. Just look at her friendship with the Alaskian Independent Group, she wants to separate Alaska from the U.S., now she's saying that small towns are pro-America and everyone else is anti-america, save the apologize.
"sorry if..." is not an apology. That speaks volumes about the woman's character.
The crowds are at the Palin rallies not to support her, but for the
spectacle of it all.
Palin is not just a loose cannon – she is incredibly intolerant of people who do not agree with her extreme point of view. This is a very dangerous politician.
Will she apologize for calling Obama a socialist?
