Dec 3, 2008 - "The National Review" is known to be a conservative voice in the media.
Islamobama Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Indeed. Do you have anything to say about the thesis of the article?
Islamobama Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - The absurd thing is, we've learned more about Palin's skeletons in the closet in a week than we have about Obama's in 2 years. Questions about William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright are deemed "unfair distractions" while the sexual habits of Palin's teenage daughter are fair game.
Roonskii Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Fair Game. All of it.
moscowom Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - I want to know Palin's stances on the issues. I expect her to be interviewed by the press, and for her to answer the questions that are pertinent. I expect nothing less from Obama, who at least has been in the spotlight. He was voted as the candidate by millions of people. Palin was chosen by the oldest candidate yet. She has a good of chance of inheriting the presidency as any previous VP. She was not voted in. She didn't campaign. She didn't debate. She didn't face the heat. That's ok w/ you?

Dec 3, 2008 - There have been female politicians that have made it without relying on their husband's wealth. Geraldine Ferraro is one. Most of the other points you made are somewhat frivolous - how does shooting a moose and having a big family qualify you for public office? Furthermore, how is having a degree in a non-political field (journalism), better than getting a political science degree and a Law doctorate from Harvard? Why am I expecting to get a rational rebuttal from someone named Islamobama?

Dec 3, 2008 - If Chelsea Clinton had a baby out of the wedlock, the "evangelical zombie brigade" would of been screaming at the top of their lungs of how immoral those liberals are and what a terrible mother Hillary is. But when the "family values crowd" is criticized for their hyprocrisy, then all of the sudden the family should be off limits? No dice. We will also find that that dear son who is going to "Iraq" soon has been on drugs, alcohol, and whatever else. Just your average american family. LOL
montesooma Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Your point has no merit since the clintons and the media always insisted that chelsea be off limits!
blowtorchman Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - You must be kidding? You really think the media like Micheal Savage, Fox Cable, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, would of kept this off limits. Dream on..Republican!

Dec 3, 2008 - There is nothing Chelsea or anyone else can do to say more about the Clinton's than Bill getting a blow job in the oval office...Good Grief!!!Say Nobama to Hamas!!!
IdleDrifter Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Why do you insist on comparing the Democrat #1 to the Republican #2? Sen. Joe Biden was not picked either by millions of voters whose campaign was a failure hence Sen. Obama running for president. What is this about not facing the heat? The moment Gov. Palin was announced as Sen. McCains running mate the Democrats, the compliant sections of Mass Media and the millions of bloggers cried havoc and unleashed the dogs of war. Her interview with Jon Gibson, a fine example of editing and omission.
IdleDrifter Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - I'll take a moose hunting, small town mayor turned governor who took on the corrupt politics of Alaska to a community organizer that changed jobs more than solve problems while using the old style politics (See WSJ August 20, 2008; Page A19) to launch him towards the national stage. Change indeed. BTW, journalists have always been political activists.
chaironome Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Palin has repeatedly lied about sticking it to the special interests. The Bridge to Nowhere was something she originally enthusiastically supported and only turned against it when it was politically unpopular to support it. Instead of refunding the money to the taxpayers, she funneled all that pork into other Alaskan public works projects. So much for a "reformer".
chaironome Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Palin also omitted facts from the jet she said she put on ebay. She did, but it actually didn't sell there. She tried relisting it, to no success. The jet sat on ebay for months - the gov't had to continue making payments of $62K every 3 months while it sat there. It was eventually sold to a businessman 8 months after the original listing for $2.1 mil, $600K less than the asking price. Then she has the nerve to charge the gov't for travel expenses while she is at home and not actually traveling.
chaironome Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - No, we don't talk about Ayers and Wright because they are logical fallacies. Look up "association fallacy". I kinda wish the pundits were more familiar with logic errors. I could link McCain to a Columbian terrorist backer Carl Lindner using the same logic, but that doesn't matter. What matters are the issues. Not Ayers, Linder, Wright or any of Palin's pastors. The issues are the most important. How will you fix the economy? Health care? Jobs? Come on conservatives, I expect better from you.
moscowom Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - I'm not a big OBiden supporter, but I think they would serve the US better than McPalin. My orginal comment was about Palin b/c that's what this video was about. All the candidates need to face the same heat.Pitbull Palin was the one who came out attacking. She belittled the media, so I'm not surprised that they responded in kind towards her. You reap what you so.Biden has been in the spotlight a lot more than Palin over the years considering he has run for prez b4. Palin is fresh meat.
IdleDrifter Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - So the money should have gone to the "Bridge to Nowhere?"
IdleDrifter Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Yet you're an O supporter. Strange how the media MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Time, Newsweek, etc. where just as much the creators of Obama's "The One" image as is Oprah. Leg tingling and photos with conveniently placed lights to shine an aura around his head were kind of a tip off along with the forgiveness of Obamas lack of experience as untested while attacking Sarah Palin for the same lack of experience. As for reaping what you sow, the Mass Media is politically biased and everyone knows it.
moscowom Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Of course the media is biased. From rightwing radio and Fox News who think that Obama's middle name is newsworthy to leftwing Pacifica who also question Obama's agenda, they all represent their biased view. Everyone is biased. You're expecting a lot if you think they could be unbiasedMcCain has enjoyed just as much media coziness over the years as any politician. They've pandered to him in a biased way.Why is Palin afraid of facing questions from the press? (the Hannity interview was a joke)
badmuffy Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - This video must be old.. I notice he says that the backlash against Paline is going to sink Obama... LoL.
brandiqasw Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - chaironome,Where do you think the funding came from to fuel the previous Governor's jet and all of his traveling expenses?
brandiqasw Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - moscowom,Okay...Did it ever acre to you that maybe Palin over shadows McCain? It doesn't seem to matter what Palin does she ends up somewhere in the Media. She could sit on her butt lock herself away in a room and some one would find something to say about her good or bad. The last I heard McCain was the candidate not Palin. Why isn't there as much coverage with Biden as there is with Palin? I don't think Palin is "afraid of facing questions from the press".
moscowom Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Yes, Palin overshadows McCain. He does'nt bring in near the crowds, they don't shout "Johnny! Johnny" and it took Palin to energize the base.Maybe it should be Palin/McCain?Biden and Obama have had way more press conferences and interviews than Palin. Is she going to be on "Meet the Press"? Is she going to have press conferences?It's not a surprise that the media is super interested in her. After all, she attacked them at the the RNC. She is a new, and I'm interested knowing more about her
brandiqasw Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - chaironome,Hmmm. I heard that the Government cut the funding and Alaska didn't have enough to pay for it themselves.
