RENO, Nevada (CNN) - Sarah Palin’s pointed criticism of Barack Obama’s foreign policy agenda Tuesday morning included a swipe at Obama’s stated commitment to strike at terrorists inside Pakistan’s borders if they are in the sights of the American military.
“Senator Obama has also advocated sending our U.S. military into Pakistan without the approval of the Pakistani government,” Palin said. “Invading the sovereign territory of a troubled partner in the war against terrorism.”
But Palin herself has advocated the same approach.
Palin told a voter at a retail stop in Philadelphia in September that the United States should “absolutely” cross the border into Pakistan to hunt terrorists, a statement that appeared to contradict John McCain's preference to negotiate with the Pakistani government first, or at the very least, to not publicly announce such a strategy.
At Tony Luke’s cheesesteaks in South Philadelphia, Temple University graduate student Michael Rovito asked the vice presidential candidate several questions about United States foreign policy towards Pakistan.
“So we do cross border, like from Afghanistan to Pakistan you think?” Rovito asked.
"If that’s what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin responded, before moving on to greet other voters.
In an interview with CBS’s Katie Couric several days later, Palin re-iterated that “we will do what we have to do to secure the United States of America and her allies.”
When Couric asked John McCain, seated next to Palin in the interview, if that was “something you shouldn’t say out loud,” McCain said, “Of course not.”
Even though Palin was talking to a voter at a campaign stop organized by her campaign, both Palin and McCain dismissed the caught-on-camera exchange with Rovito as “gotcha journalism.”

palin is programmed by GOP
Ok – Palin is even more of a moron than McCain... Better get back to the hockey rink – she must understand what's going on there better?
Well she cannot remember what she said...big surprise...but as I remember McCains comment iot was that the question did not matter because it was shouted at her...
both of them are a disgrace.
She is dumb.
Sounds like she's fully onboard the double-talk express.
Wow this Lady is a Nut
We didn't. This is why we're not voting for you people. GET IT!?
We don't need a 12-year Idiocracy.
I dont think she even knows what she says from minute to minute. She thinks as VP that she will run the Senate! OMG!
I wonder if McCain told her thats what a VP does. LOL
The more she talks the more unqualified she is.
Obama 08
she is so stupid and lies so much she is not sure what she is saying or what she has said. No thinking voter cares what she says anyway they are too busy praying to God she doesn't get elected.
Palin was questioned in Colorado this week by a 3rd grader who asked "What is the VP's job"? She answered "To be the head of the Senate" and that she wants to "get in there" and influence the Senator's decisions.
Seriously? This woman is running for VP and doesn' t even know what her job entails? The ONLY job she has, as defined by the Constitution, is to break a tie in the Senate….and to open electoral voting envelops. She does not have any power over the Senate besides that.
I can't wait until this woman fades back into the Alaska wilderness...
This is not any SUPRSISE. Pailn just dosen't get it, have it, or anythign else. CNN stop talking about her, she won't even go on your show, and yet you keep reporting dumm news. We all know that Pailn is not ready to lead our great United States.
THIS IS NOT NEWS
Anyone who voted for Bush, and is now seeing what this nation has been through in the past 8 years would really have to care less about this counrty to vote for another Republican ticket!!
Anything expedient will suit the McCain campaign these days. All they have left is to marginalize, isolate, and smear Obama. So, that's what they do.
BS clowns.
Agian,........I am so glad I voted for Obama on Monday.
I can see Pakistan from my house...
She is a puppet of the Republican party, who will say anything they tell her to and when she does not say exactly as rehearsed it comes out like she does not know what she is talking about....which she doesn't.
Is this really who you want leading the Country if something happens to her 72 year old running mate??
What a kick. Yet again, she contradicts herself.
I guess she was under the spell of the Philly Cheesesteak...or maybe she's a dimwit. Wait, yes, she is a dimwit. PEOPLE, this woman would be a second away from the big seat. Keep her in her high chair, please! She is second rate, junior league, at best!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN AND YES WE ARE, at least in NV! In my county alone, 32,000 dems have early voted as opposed to 19,000 Repubs. I think we know how this will go!
Governor, am I part of the patriotic America, the pro-america or not. Because I won't be voting for you either way
Oh yeah. Keep it up Sarah. You're doing great in pushing people away with your dimwitted remarks and towards Obama
Palin is the greatest policy wizard of our time.
One word "HYPOCRITE"!
Of Course Palin and Mccain are so lost right i feel like going out in the dark and handing these lost souls a Flaslight. Mccain Palin has run a horrific campaign and will be Punished for it on Nov 4 Obama 08
Her ignorance is stunning.
Whats new? Sarah ignores all of her own comments, gaffes. idiocy, lunacy etc.....
What else she can do?
Early voting is the way to go.
Registered Republican "voted" Obama/Biden 08
Are you kidding me? This is the person that will be second in command? Wake up people! She is not fit to be in the White House with her finger on the nukes.
Yikes.
Palin is such a big LIAR......WINK!!! WINK!!!
Gov. Palin: You just did a 'gotcha' on yourself!
McCain told her not to say anything about what she thinks..just to stick to the provided script!!!
Dan Quayle Barbie?
She's an idiot, the media knows it and needs to be honest about this McFailin' ticket!
OBAMA/BIDEN -08!
What a waste of people's time Palin is. Bash Obama for saying EXACTLY what you said...nice.
And is ANY voter really going to be swayed by knowing one candidate won't send troops into Pakistan while the other will?? WHO CARES right now...try talking about a domestic issue Palin. Or better yet....just stop talking.
Let it not be said that facts get in the way of Palin.
This lady does not understand her own speech. It's like a beautiful parrot. She doesn’t understand what VP do everyday. Even 3rd grade student knows VP is not charge of senate. My wife wonders why is not running for political office since travelled 16 countries for research purpose, substantial more foreign experience than Palin's Russia foreign policy experience!!
Expecting a coherent policy – any coherent policy – from Sarah Palin is like expecting to win $100 million in the lottery. It's theoretically possible, and has happened once or twice, but there's a heck of a lot more misses than hits there. You betcha.
Just wanted to let all those who have lost hope in Texas...
THIS TEXAN VOTED FOR OBAMA THIS AFTERNOON!!
People, she has the same profile as Bush and Cheney. In fact, she is the reincarnation of the Bush/Cheney ticket in ONE bucket. How can we all say we DISLIKE the Bush/Cheney ticket, and yet, VOTE for one who has the SAME exact values and background?
America, a lipstick on a pig, is still a pig. I cant believe that after eight long years, we stil havent learned our lessons yet.
by all means, defeat nobama in the general and expose his inexperienced empty suit socialism that can only give good speeches
NOBAMA
N.S of Huntsville, Al – you are right but, her wacky antics and off-beat shenanigans are quite entertaining.
STOP THIS WOMAN FROM MAKING SPEECHES.
SHE IS A DISGRACE TO WOMEN.
McCAIN CHOSE HER TO WOO FRUSTRATED CLINTON SUPPORTERS, INSTEAD OF MAKING SURE SHE IS QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT.
FOR McCAIN, IT IS POLITICS FIRST, AND COUNTRY LATER
what is more serious is that Palin stated yesterday in Colorado that the Vice President's job is to run the Senate. That is completely wrong and shows how utterly she fails to understand the position.
Julie, I a word NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
palin is damb,she cant even remember what she said before.did she go to scholl really?
obama 08
As a Christian, I find this rather appalling. I expected this from McCain but not Sarah Palin. But what can I say, I may stoop to this level if I were running for veep.
Are we really surprised? It's almost getting too easy and we really need to get this woman off the national circuit. She is a vile, uneducated, thoughtless hypocrite.
Why are the top seven stories on the ticker about McCain and/or Palin? CNN reports every word Palin says, even though 99.99% of it is unintelligible. No stories about what Obama or Biden said today. Your bias is showing, CNN.
Wouldn't it be great if you could say anything you want, anytime you want, and not have to respond to any "follow-up" question!
I envy her!
Palin is as dumb as a box of rocks.
She will still score points among the daft Republicans, trust me and that's why I am emploring all educated people to help those who are less fortunate in the brain as regards this very crucial election.
Dear Sarah Palin,
Seriously? I mean...SERIOUSLY? Are you that desperate to attack your opponent on the same statement you said? Ugh!
Sincerely,
America
She's a fool and the whole world knows it. Palin doesn't even know what she doesn't know. She is a very stupid and ignorant person. We don't want someone to make us laugh Sarah-we want someone who is ready and able to do the job of VP (something you know nothing about). I have three words for you Sarah: MEET THE PRESS. Until then shut up.
I guess she's trying the old kids trick – I'm rubber, you're glue.....
I can't wait for her to return up here to Alaska. I guarantee she is no longer the "most popular" governor in America. Just happy that I have never voted for her and can tell those who did, I told you so!
The problem is she lies and or distorts the truth so much she can't remember everything she says. McCain knows he made a mistake so he has to make excuses for her.
Palin the incorrect statement maker.
You know why Pallin draws bigger crowds than McCain? The same reason people watch figure skating competions. There waiting for her to fall on her A__
Sarah Palin is attractive, a good speaker, and an idiot. And possibly even has terrorist leanings (AIP). She and her boss are doing everything possible to tear us further apart than even Bush did. I was naive enough to think that was impossible.
Republican Washington outsiders MAKE the worst politicians. They have no respect for the Constitution. Of course, how could you have any respect for the laws when you DONT read......
Remember, W was a Washington outsider.
How DARE we stop a candidate and ask them a question! Who do we think we are–VOTERS????
Palin is branding herself. We knew this since the VP debate when all she talked about was her being the executive in her state.
She doesn't even agree with McCain's ideas or his campaign.
Palin GO AWAY!
Typcial of the McCain Campaign we can do it but you can't. Cindy McCain is angry with the media for criticizing her but look at their dirty campaign. They can do it but others cannot. This won't work on the world stage.
One word
CLUELESS!!!
(Is this the best VP candidate that McPain could choose among the Republicans along with loser Lieberman! )
The basic platform that McCain and Palin have run during this campaign is about Obama, not about the issues important to the American public......
it is a just a continuation of the same lies, half-truths, smears, and outright mischaraterization of Obama that the Republicans have launched to win at all costs.
With all this negativity, how could McCain and Palin unite government?
The Republican party has been a real disappointed this election. The divisive, hypocritical behavior and just showing a lack of intelligence! In 2 weeks it will be over and we will hopefully have a new perspective with the Obama/Biden ticket.
She shoudla just stuck to her original answer....
So she's criticizing Obama for a position she holds?
Big deal, that's what mavericks do.
As an early voter in Arizona, I continued to be amazed that McCain picked such a lightweight, no a featherweight. She has no idea what she is doing, has no idea what her role will be if elected. Her pick proved to me that McCain didn't put "Country First", he put the perceived needs of his campaign first. While he has been my Senator for 25 years, I voted for Obama!
Sarah the hypocrite. Take Joe the plumber, Tito the Jackson, Todd the Secessionist, Rose the Peddler, John the McBush, and all of your other GOP election 08 action figures and go home. Personnel Board activity should be picking up soon Sarah the Power Abuser - talk to them, they're pretty much the only people interested in what you have to say these days.
Obama on November 4th? You betcha
Palin just doesn't have what it takes...She is not ready for prime time...I am glad I have already voted and voted for Obama/Biden
This woman is an airhead and a devious , dangerous person and McCain choosing her makes you wonder about his ability to do anything–what kind of judgement would choose a woman like that as vice-president????????
She neither knows or cares what she talks about.
It's Robo-Palin.
Wait, Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are attacking a voter who dared to ask a question?? Aren't they accusing Sen. Obama and Biden of attacking Joe the Plumber??
What is going on at the McCain campaign????
I know that no one here is really surprised. Just another example of the pot calling the kettle black. Everytime I see one of these stupid incidents from Daily Scandal Palin I go donate $5 to Obama's campaign. Keep it coming Failin' Palin'.
I just voted for Obama yesterday. And man, did it feel gooooood!
I can't wait until November 5th, when Governor Palin can resume staring at Russia!
Patriotic? you bettcha, Guess what Sarah When this country screws up, you bettcha I'll critize. Start a war based on lies, that's a major screw up. Tell me love it or leave, it, I"m a Native American, you leave it girl friend go back to whatever hole you crawled out of.
Hello Mrs.Palin... I read that you have a new nick name for Obama... btw... I have one for you too
Sarah the Power Abuser
I dont understand why the media has forgotten that she abused her power in Alaska?
This woman is dispictable.....She will never acknowledge anything SHE says and does. It's apparent what she was chosen for. I can't wait until we announce Obama/Biden presidency!
I think that Palin's nerve is far more stunning than her ignorance. She knows perfectly well that she has taken essentially the same position that she criticizes. She knows as well that no one will call her on it in any meaningful way. She knows that it won't matter to those who already support her and hopes that it won't matter–or be meaningfully pointed out–to a few who might be persuaded to support her.
She probably forgot she said the same thing as Barack Obama about Pakistan. She doesn't seem to really believe much of what she says and is often contradictory in many ways. I too am glad I voted for Barack Obama this a.m. Republicans keep floundering around on every subject. How about some "new" original ideas from McCain/Palin? I have not heard a one.
You have to admit she does provide comic relief.
Palin is a mess. She should stick to inciting violence and hate at her "rallies" and leave the policy stuff alone.
OK, so she doesn't support her own policies on Pakistan or gay marriage... is there anything she does agree with herself on? Oh, yeah, she's still saying the VP is in charge of the Senate.
This woman is dangerous, folks. It's really that simple.
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.
Bless her heart she cant help being a MORON!!!!
Where is the outrage that this woman has been declared a lawbreaker by the Alaska legislative investigation into "Troopergate?" How can you ignore, above and beyond her obvious difficulties with critical thinking and language use, that she "abused her power" as Governor? She's simply not Presidential.
She's a ditz.
All they can come up with is fear, smear, and distractions.
NOT THIS TIME
Vote early
Palin talks about Obama saying one thing only to have said the very same thing. She is the most unintelligent person, so dumb she doesn't even realize people are making fun of her because of her stupidity. Hard to believe there are people out there that will actually vote for her and McCain.
There McCain and Palin go again, talking out of both sides of their mouth.
Is any one surprised at this???
I just got a mailbox full of Hate Mail from the McCain campain.
These people are relentlessly off message.
Good thing they don't mind being the underdog.
You mean she doesn't hear the words coming out of her mouth, they really should fix that in the new version coming out: Sarah 2.0.
Two weeks to go, throw it all against the wall and see what sticks.
I can't wait till she runs for Ted Stevens Senate Seat.
Early stages of memory loss...Palin needs to be seen.
Who’s the idiot that put this lady in charge? Oh yah… it’s Mr. Out-to-Lunch McCain!
The entire country is ready for Palin to pack her bags, her kids that she drags them with her everywhere and GOES BACK TO ALASKA where she belongs!!!!!
She is untruthfull, unfair, uneducted, unattractive, un professional and the country will NEVER has her as a Vice or President, we are toooooo smart to do that!
No wonder she isn't allowed near the press, she's ignorant! She is NOT qualified to be Vice President or President and it's a decision that John McCain will live to regret. What a sad ending to a distinguished career! John McCain can only thank the very ones he was trying to please for the lost - his base.
You may win or you may lose. If you lose, how do you want to be regarded / remembered by history?
How do you want your great grandchildren to read about you in school?
John McCain .... it's time .... time to take your foot off the pedal .... you can't win and you are only damaging America with your campaign's divisive rhetoric.
And even if you do, you need to think about no alienating the other side. For you this is a "political game" and you and Barack can forgive each other after the fact. For the rest of us ... the public ... we have long memories. Keep this up and you'll build enemies for the duration of your administration.
she's just ST U Pi D
I forgot, is it Sarah Palin's daughter that has down syndrome or is it Sarah herself, or both??? A little help please.
PS: Where is the story about John McCain reffering to Japaneese people as "gooks"??? They have a video of him saying it in public!!! Imagine how big the story would be by now if Obama had reffered to Japaneese Americans as "gooks" in public, on video??? The press is very hypocritical, racist, & one sided in their coverage! John McCain is a degenerate racist and this white elitist media needs to stop protecting his degenerate ideologies.
My husband and I are going on a date when he returns from a 7-month deployment. We are early voting! I hope that everyone takes the opportunity to do the same. Obama 08
I have nothing to say. They just think that if you close your eyes and wish hard enough, Dreams do come true.
Obama was a cocaine dealer when he was a teenager.
Palin is a boob..... and what does this boob think we did in Iraq?
BACK TO THE TUNDRA, TROOPERGATE BARBIE!
i sincerely believe that now is the time to start ignoring these two clowns! the lies and hatred they spew out every 10 minutes are plain insult to our intelligence. sadly they don't have such. ergo, let's stop commenting about them. i've sworn to myself to start right now.
Starting with Reagan this divisive and deceptive political-speak dysfunction has spread like a "cancer" (to quote one of their own) in the Republican Party. Look what it has done to America and the world via Bush-Cheney. Elect McCain-Palin and you are shooting yourself not in the foot, but in the head. When will the duh-voters ever learn? Maybe never. THAT'S the problem!
During an interview in Colorado to a local station yesterday, Gov Palin was asked a question submitted by a 2nd grader regarding the duties of the Vice President. Our Governor answered; help the senate in writing new laws. Read the whole story on Huffington Post, it was just put up an hour ago. This woman is a joke and she is questioning Biden’s words. McCain’s camp better be worried this is reminiscent of the Potato story and Quale. And you right wing nut jobs think Sara is ready to be VP ..
She says any thing and people cheer, the media covers it and she continues to the next location adding more drama. She is credited for "bringing back the base".
OUR ENVIORNMENT IS CONTIMATED WITH STUPIDY AND OUR SYSTEMS ARE THE ENABLERS. SAD
Palin is also ignoring her lack of knowledge and understanding while criticizing Obama who will run complete circles around her.
This woman will do or say anything to get the chance to parade around the whitehouse. She is taking the vp spot just like she did that beauty contest she lost.
Obama/Biden 08
I wonder if she can find Pakistan on a map. She's not stupid, but she certainly doesn't have the foreign policy experience necessary for the job of VP, let alone President.
I must say say she is correct if The New York Time aka toilet paper has printed anything about her prescription drug issues. Additionally I don't think "news organization" should endorsed anyone who is running for political office. Ironically, she is going to Fox, and it's sleazily organization to talk about this issue. After all it was the Republicans who Fox aka sleaze, smeared her and and her John Macain in 2000.
Palin is so stupid, it takes her two hours to watch "60 Minutes"
Obama/Biden 08/12
I cannot believe therre are people in this country that believe she is qualified! What an insult to women and the nation that McCain thinks she could be president.
What scares me more is that people don't see it. I think she draws such crowds because everyone keeps hoping she will mess up and finally show her true side!
Palin is such a hypocrite. She is just too desperate.
I voted for Obama / Biden yesterday!
I am truly stunned by the ignorance of this woman. Its difficult to believe how many people are actually going to her raliies, she was quoted saying "joe the plumber calls Obama's policies, Socialist" Well why are you quoting Joe the plumber over and over again, surely if Joe had soo much economic sense, he wouldn't be a plumber, but would be heading the treasury!
Palin, it would be nice to actually use your own head to make your point( thats ofcourse if you have a point!)
Looks like she is suffering from a serious case of selective amnesia!
that must have been gotcha stumping ... she didn't mean it... mccain will retract it.
I am telling you Bologna people.. I am voting tomorrow .. how about you?
I still can't believe the people that are supporting her...They must of been born under a rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think she's a hypocrit. She's just too dumb to remember what her talking points were last month.
Who cares what she has to say? I'm so ready for this election to be over 14 more days! When she can point out Pakistan on a map then I will pay her some attention.
Wow, she is certainly an amazing person!
This really should be a land slide on the 4th!!
The saddest thing about Palin's whole story arc is that from now until the foreseeable future, any politician who comes out of Alaska will be compared to her. The state, which by many accounts is lovely, will be looked upon as the place that produced this woman. It's just not fair.
someone pull the plug on this mess! she is so stupid
May some of you san afford to have this clueless entity as a VP, but the majority of this country cannot. We are really going to give up our children's future because our pride/ hate won't let us vote for a non-white?
Does Gov. Sarah Palin remembered what she says at time. All is about winning and telling the American people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.
Palin and Bush are similar in a lot of ways. Hunter; NRA advocate; Unbending, Believed that they are right 99% of the time and a probably right with the remaining 1%, and has a "deer caught in the headlights look" when asked tough questions. So good luck to all of us if she gets elected. Another 4 years of Bush. ,,,,,,,,
Just one more reason that me and everyone else that I know in Colorado are voting early for Obama!!!!
The problem with Palin is she cannot remember what she says
from one minute to the next. She is an air head.
It's obvious that this woman is nowhere near being ready to be vice president. Hard to believe she actually was elected governor. However, there is a certain group of people who think she is just the cat's pajamas. Same people who probably voted for Bush twice. We cannot afford to have McSame/Palin to run this country. Now or ever! Please take the time to vote and vote with your brain this November the 4th.
Bye Bye Sarah...........................
Sarah Palin chose to have a baby over age 40, knowing the risks of having a Down's syndrome baby were higher. She made that choice, what was right for her. My problem with her is that she wants to make that choice for everyone else.
I didn't get to comment in the Ticker article where ditzy had a new name for Obama. I have one for her: Failin' Palin. Jeebus this woman is unbelievable. She seriously contradicts herself on a daily basis and then just blythly goes on. She is some serious kind of stupid.
Parts of America are the more "pro-America" parts? What do you call the other parts? And why is it that terrorists have only attacked the parts that aren't in the "pro-America" parts? Republicans love to wrap themselves in the tragedy that struck New York... and to attack New Yorkers as being un-American and too liberal.
Basically, if you live in one of the original 13 colonies that rebelled from England's oppressive rule and formed the United States, you're probably not in a pro-America part of America.
This ticket is nothing but a bunch of contradictions so pathetic. I will be so glad when it's November 5th!
OBAMA/BIDEN real change
It's absolutely shameful that these creeps take us for such fools. I am sick and tired of my intelligence being insulted by this blowhard.
THIS LADY IS NUTS..........
OBAMA '08
We must be the laughing stock of the international community. Come on folks...we aren't voting for an American Idol contestant...the thought of Sarah Palin one heartbeat away from the presidency makes me ill. She cannot string together a coherent sentence (unless its scripted for her)....can you imagine her sitting down with foreign dignitaries to negotiate????? It's a joke, really.
I voted for Obama / Biden last week in North Carolina!!!
finally, they've thrown "joe the plumber" under the bus and moved on to a new gibberish talking point!
this late in the game, the mcsame/pain-lin campaign are still trying to figure out what new ideas they can bring to the american people, but people like Rush and Hannity already hijacked the republiklans party; so it's all hate speech and divisive – real/unreal americans talking points that they got left!
definitely not the economy because they are sooo out of touch there, also!!!!!! lol
Even though Palin was talking to a voter at a campaign stop organized by her campaign, both Palin and McCain dismissed the caught-on-camera exchange with Rovito as “gotcha journalism.”
Victim mentality much?
Come on guys, she HAS to attack Obama....even if she agrees with him....she the pitbull after all.
talk about flip flopping, she can't even remember what she talks about., and she is running for second in command. Can't wait to see Obama in the white house. Hey Palin, when you go back to Alaska, I'll say I can see Alaska from this Pro American country. You really need to hide you head in shame for that remark. We in all states are Americans through and through. So go back to Alaska and think about where you went wrong on this campaign. Do a rewind and see yourself and kick yourself, and even Ask yourself, Why did I say those things.
Where are Sarah's tax returns?
Reading through the comments, I don't really think there's anything useful I could add. Did anyone see The Daily Show last night? Jason Jones did a piece in Wasilla, AK. There must be something in the water up there.
To the millions upon millions of Americans that are fed up with CNN's total bias and negativity in covering this campaign, anc the unbridled public and not so public support of Obama's campaign, write your congressman, senator, and CNN and tell them that you will boycott their sponsors and boycott their telecats. I have never seen a more unprofessional display of yellow journalism .... and that is just what we see on top - the editorial decisions behind the scenes are likely much worse.
Her lack of intelect is insulting for the American people! As a proud US educated Mexican I find myself amazed with her comments!!! I still can not vote but soon will, and I can't wait to make my two cents count!!!
Obama/Biden08
Ken Adelman, who is a close friend of Paul Wolfowitz and DIck Cheney, and an ardent neo-con, just endorsed Obama as his candidate. Part of his reasoning is that McCain's choice of Palin as his VP candidate raises serious questions about his decision making abilities.
RUN RUN RUN TO THE POLLS AND VOTE
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
I VOTED OBAMA-BIDEN AND MAILED IN MY ABSENTEE BALLOT..... PALIN IS A MORON AND AN INSULT TO EVERY AMERICAN.
The more Biden/obama talk the more we see who they REALLY are.
Very Scary for America!
VOTE SMART: VOTE McCain/Palin – we can TRUST them
This woman is the governor of our state and yes, she is the stupidest politician ever, not even as bright as George Bush. She just likes being in front of the cameras with her lips flapping and trying to shove her life and reality down every ones throat. She will lie, steal and cheat to attain what she wants, publicity and her face on the cover of the Rolling Stone, which she probably has never read either.
No more BUSH ... but please ... no new BUSH either (pun intended)!
GObama
This women is simply an air head and a liar, lying comes so easy for Palin., she doesn't even know when she's lying, it has gotten just that bad, It will be all over pretty soon. Thank God.
After the election, Palin can give the rest of us lessons on how to lie to the terminally gullible.
Other than that, I'd just as soon leave her unarmed and on foot in the middle of a herd of moose.
May God help us if the stupidity of some people put a moron like Palin in line for the office of President of the United States.
The Pet Rock of politics once again unselfconsciously contradicts herself. Of course, because she actually has no views, but will say whatever it takes to advance herself (she has no agenda apart from self-promotion). Like a would-be Hollywood starlet, Palin desperately seeks media face-time, using her kids as props and attention-getters. Narcissism and megalomania are her hallmarks; a reasonably educated populace would brush her off in an instant and ignore her. But Ms Pageant Runnerup is actually vying to be in line as the world's most powerful person. Absolutely frightening.
Seems like a politician of her "caliber" would have a clear strategy for foreign policy. This just makes it seem like she hasn't really thought about this stuff and that she is just going iwth what the suits ar etelling her. Not my type of leader, to be sure.
EVERYBODY LISTEN UP ! ! ! ! ! !
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, GO OUT AND VOTE EARLY.....WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS IN FLORIDA ALREADY!!!! IF YOU VOTE EARLY YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEMS....THE LINES ARE GOING TO BE EXTREMELY LONG ON NOV. 4TH....THEY ARE LONG NOW HERE IN FLORIDA. DON'T LET THE REPUB'S TAKE IT AWAY THIS TIME.
Palin/McShame is enough to make you get out and vote early! They are trying to steal this in Florida.
Silly Rabbit!
it's gotcha politics when the GOP gets asked questions by the general public but it's alright for Joe the Plumber to ask his question to Obama....eventhough Joe doesn't even make close to $250,000 and judging by his training and expertise as a plumber he will certainly not be buying his bosses company any time soon...heck Obama's 8 years of presidency will be over before Joe the plumber can afford to buy his own business....it just kills me how the GOP make Joe the Plumber look great when his question was not 100% factual in the first place...
If McCain wins and this woman somehow winds up as the Vice President of this country, so help me I will move to Canada.
Hey check out the Gallup Poll's World Poll. Obama is favored 4 to 1. I guess it's not only the media, late night tv, Un Pro-Americans, unreal Virginians, socialists, traitor republicans, far left wing liberals, non christians, elite, east coasters, large city folks that have a poor view of McCain and Palin (and the rest of the republican party for that matter) but now the world is against the self proclaimed mavericks. I'm very disappointed in some of our past secretary of state people who do not put US first! It's time for the Bush/Cheney evil empire to come to an end... "I voted with George Bush 90% of the time....: : John McCain
its great that her, um, whatever you want to call it, was brought to light here on the forum, but how about putting on the national scene so that EVERYONE can see it.
I am so HAPPY I VOTED for McCain/Palin today in SC – and hundreds of my neighbors were lined up to join me!
McCain/Palin – the ONLY choice
I just don't understand this woman!!! She has absolutely no respect for facts and truth ..... She looks more like a drama queen rather than a VP candidate.
Palin makes all of those dumb blond jokes look like a child play... you can't fix stupid, that;s a fact !!!
She's a superstar, stellar performance right there, eh?
Sarah's Failin'
When she returns to her day job on November 5th, she's gonna find herself fightin' to keep from getting impeached, doncha know?
Blind ambition.
Old news. Sign of CNN's desperate attempt to help Obama.
She knows Obama better than herself. That's a shame for a so-called VP of the USA
Obama supporters and people leaning towards Obama.....VOTE EARLY....and let's put this miserable campaign out of their misery so we don't have to see or hear from ms. moose killer and her McNasty grammpa ever again.
Please send some cards to Obama's grandmother in Hawaii....she fell and broke her hip!
Mrs. Madelyn Dunham
In care of: Obama for America

A vote for BO is a vote for SOCIALISM.
Sara has more experience then BO.
From the dumb remarks Joe Biden makes, it appears that she has more common sense then Biden.
OMG!! For heaven's sake, anyone who voted for Bush and plans to vote these two seals in and thinks the next 4 years is going to be different, is crazier than they are. We are in big trouble if McCain/Palin get in. McCain will be bad enough, but if something happens to him and Palin is president. The visuals are disastrous.
This woman is stupid. She has absolutely no clue what she is talking abt. Shame on her.... She should go back to Alaska
Why is she criticizing Obama about something she agrees with? What a dummy. Sometimes i wonder what planet Sarah Palin is from. She has no crediblity and nothing she says makes sense and she KNOWS IT...she just doesn't care. It's almost as if she is a robot programmed to just say dumb things...or the same thing over and over again no matter what the question is and no matter if it makes sense or not.
SHE'S STUPID
I can see the moon from my house. I am well versed in lunar affairs.
why is cnn not reporting on the video of the mccain campaign dragging our beloved ole glory on the ground ,after a rally in missouri, yesterday? i guess that's not considered anti-american? americans should be mad as hell about this! men have died keeping our flag from touching the ground, and the mccain camp. is dragging it through the dirt ,just like gw bush has done for 7 years.
Good summary in the title. I like it better than quoting attack lines.
She is clueless!! She can only say what she has been told to say.
Just another Blind, Ignorant Republican who can't think for themselves.
A TRUE imbarrasement to this Country.
Pathetic Palin is dragging down the ticket nation-wide. McCain is being criticized by prominent Republicans for this ill-advised choice, a woman of limited background, intellect, and education. Beneath those seven or eight layers of make-up there is very little of substance.
Here in Nevada, Barack is up by nearly 5 points and growing. If Democrats can win here, in the intermountain frontier, they can win ANYWHERE.
Hypocrite!
Ah, pusillanimous Palin strikes with ignorance again. How can anyone be so stupid. I can no longer stand to watch her. Next time she is in a motorcade or entering a room: Turn Your Back On Her; She comes on TV; change channels; that act is recorded by the networks. All Better than boos.
Jon in Calif.
Get out and VOTE!!!!!!
OBAMA 08'
She can't help it. That is what the teleprompter told her to say. You know, the teleprompter, or what she calls her "complete sentence maker".
Okay, Palin is inciting the rabid right to violence and can't even remember what she said a few weeks ago. And the republicans want to put her a heart beat away from having her finger on the button???
If McCain & Palin are elected, there will be nowhere safe on Planet Earth. And the scary part is she would look forward to pushing the button. After all, we are in the "End Times"
And she is "qualified"? REALLY? SERIOUSLY? Such arrogance should not be rewarded. The media should ride her into the sunset.
Joe Biden's wisdom again proves that Obama is not ready to lead. At a fundraiser event on Sunday he said that withing the first 6 months of Obama becoming POTUS, a big IF, the world will bestow a major crisis upon Obama to "test" him, "and he will need help", Biden continues. Obviously Obama not capable of handling things on his own. After saying this Biden says, "oooops, maybe I shouldn't have said that, I didn't know the media was here". Shortly thereafter the Obama camp took good ole Joe off the campaign trail. Guess Joe's message of Obama's need for on the job training didn't go over so well.
Very telling.
She's too stupid to remember her own talking points!
I thought McCain said he'd go to the gates of hell to get Osama... what only if there is no illusional Paistan border in the way???
Palin is an Idiot what was Mccain thinking when he picked her.
Is anyone really surprised by anything this idiot utters anymore? Really?
She's a mess.
It is my firm belief that this woman has the attention span and memory of a goldfish. Can she remember beyond the last fifteen seconds of her life?
Absolutely stunning.
Hope you caught her interview in CO where she said her job will be to 'get in there and make changes in the Senate' (paraphrased)....
Absolutely scary.
I can't believe that 4 out of 9 Americans want her and McCranky anywhere near the White House.
Ok...Sarah Palin has officially made me vomit!! She disgusts me. And I can only pray that her harmful comments do no harm to Sen. Obama and his family. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SPEAK ABOUT HER AND HER HUSBANDS MEMBERSHIP WITH THE SECESSIONIST GROUP!!!!!!!!!!
obama – biden 08
The name "Bozo" needs to be attached to these two!! Actually, my respect for Dan Quayle is really starting to go up with Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate and I didn't think that would ever happen.
LMAO ~ she a nut. Please send her back to Alaska on November 4th. America does not want or need her. She's a bad joke that have gone wrong for the GOP.
Obama & Biden in 08 & 12
She has a new set of 3X5 Cards and the old cards were tossed out so she can't remember what she said. and by the way itis that mean meda press thing that you know is like it just twists everything and she woud be happy to answer the question if you would ask one htat is covered on one of the 3X5 cards that well you know is what I am suposted to talk about today that is not important because I am just a face to attract horny me to attend the well you know that itis that I know you understand why I have to say stupid things so I can apear on SNL.
This is because she is speaking from scripts and strategy prompters, not from knowledge or even informed opinion. And this was the very best John McCain could find in the party to be his running mate.
"Stupid is as stupid does..."
That which she sows, so shall she reap,....
Another example of someone who has gotten by on looks alone it seems.
american politics today is bery interesting, it is like a soap . but my question is why is the media very biased?
Has anyone noticed how Palin is now PANDERING to the RELIGIOUS RIGHT? After she made all the talks shows and now that her CAMPAIGN is in JOE THE PLUMBER'S TANK, now she shows up on CBN and JAMES DOBSON's Show......I think they ralize that they have alienated a lot of us and are trying to put it back together, Sorry Sarah...Too Little Too Late!
Her ignorance is stunning, she is just so STUPID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My fellow Americans, this side-show hosted by the McCain/Palin ticket will all be over in 14 days. I cast my vote for Obama yesterday. Full steam ahead to the White House....
We are voting for president, so if you can stop tearing down for a moment. Please endulge.
Extremism is always bad , and in this case Obamas uncehecked left turn and open road paved by Pelosi and Reid should have everyone concerned. Americans like fairness, not re adjusting the score. All those who still have that uncertain feeling about Obama, listen to it.
Where are the medical records?, There is NO history of any writings from all of OBAMAS school days? He praised the Book of Bill Ayers and his wife promotes a joint speaking session of the two, but we are to believe there is no sharing of ideas. He has no recollection of any hate speak in his church? Does this make sense to you. I not saying he shares the worst of these beliefs, but at a minimum is willing to rewrite history and at the time was willing to turn blind eye and deaf ear to these in effort to promote his agenda.
If you share this discomfort, you are smart and need to square with it before you vote.
Please understand, I get you want justice, but what we are changing to is more important than the punishing the past. McCain is not Bush. You, likewise, are not supporting Bush or betraying your displeasure with him by realizing that we as a country need to come together. The fact is you can not unite around extremism, and McCains proven centrist leadership promotes co operation that angers both extremes, and that is a healthy thing for all of us.
Being an European citizen, I've been following the American elections from across the Atlantic for ten months now. Sarah Palin is looking like a fool day in and day out, yet still the race is getting competitive again. I cannot understand how intelligent people support for Sarah Palin. They must really value Executive experience over everything else.
