I care. History has shown those in the religious right have a hard time keeping their faith and policies separated. Just look at GWB if you want an example.

A sad day indeed.
My wife had a similar reaction watching that with me last night. After the interview we both just looked over at each other as if we were just shown a bad joke.

I just don't see how anyone can defend her actions this time. I mean I am a Republican and have always voted that way, so I was sure hoping for more. I could almost vote the other direction, but I just can't; too many differences of beliefs.

Thats what I don't understand. Its OK to criticize your own party. People think its unpatriotic or some other hogwash when you don't.
I think if you are looking at this interview truly objectively, you cannot say it was a great interview. It was a terrible interview and thats the fact.
I am an independent so maybe its easier for me to criticize, but if Obama or Biden or McCain gave an interview like this to ANYONE, I would be seriously re-considering my voting options.

Oh and BTW - no where did I suggest she did well. If you morons are going to quote my posts - at least read them so you don't look like complete fools or trolls.
Some posters just linked to a video byte, others just commented to the effect that it was a terrible interview for her, some debated poll numbers, but Dari, Perk, and a few others pointed out the same point Dari made-
How is that clip not what is claimed in the above quote, concerning her inability to defend her own assertion with facts/examples/record on the issue?
I have agreed with your opinions more than once when reading through threads here. The dems get lathered up, sometimes making a mountain out of a mole hill, but you really have said nothing in this thread. You make an ambiguous comment, then proceed to, (how it appears to me anyways), do nothing more than be pugnacious toward the other posters. If you can explain that clip differently, you'll find myself, and some other lurkers too, perhaps, willing to impartially consider it. Lacking such a response, it just looks like a drive by.
My post wasn't about specifics or particular questions/answers. It was a short comment on the commentary by the rabid leftists here. I stated that it wasn't as bad as what they were trying to make it seem. Was it "good" - no but it certainly wasn't "horrible". Should she have answered a few of the questions better? Sure, but it wasn't a fluff interview like most are anyway. IMO, the perky one did a decent job of interviewing(surprising, I know) and Palin didn't look comfortable at times like she did with Gibson.
But yes, my first comment was basically a driveby because there is no reason to engage the rabid as they will not listen to reason. I poked fun at their circle jerk and they've since continued their rabid fapping...
HomerJS - Romney would have guaranteed a McCain loss due to Evangelicals and strong Conservatives. With Palin, McCain picks up a lot of women and Conservatives(since she looks to hold more Conservative ideals than McCain). The Evangelicals may not champion her or McCain but they'll come on board since they know BHO/Biden would be a disaster for Evangelicals.

As long as the remaining value of this thread is in bashing Cad, I should point out that the cookie he left us was not a cookie at all, it was a stepped on sour grape.
But still, we are left with the genuine question Cad left, the hypothesis that a VP pick of Romney would be a certain loser and with Palin, McCain had a shot.
And now we should be asking, is had a shot in the past tense? And Palin has now been effectively destroyed by just one interview?
But even as a partisan democrat who notes the McCain Palin team have had a really bad bad week, I issue that history based warning, Presidential campaigns have a nasty habit of having ups and downs, and in a week or two, it could be Obama Biden catching all the hell.
As for the GOP, they initially outfitted Palin with a set of Bimbo Barbie clothes with a Chatty Cathy pull string. And that type clothing worked well in the right environment, but the GOP just learned the valuable lesson that those clothes do not work when Uncle Rhemus throws her into a muddy briar patch that will typify the rest of the campaign. And I again note, Palin should not be underestimated, she has more than one outfit she can wear, and now she has to change out of her bimbo barbie set that is ripped and torn. And she will be back.

man, the partisan hacks really stand out in this thread, you people are pathetic to even think she made a credible interview. you guys shouldnt even be allowed to vote. why the hell do you give all your candidates a free pass? What is so wrong with criticizing your own candidates to get them to prove themselves? why do you blindly just go with what they say?
we the american people need to see the journalists as interviewers interviewing the p/vp for a job and if they give a piss poor response like palin did how the fuck can you even consider hiring them for a high up position in your company?

Wow. Just wow....
It's not a good thing when you can see the wheels turning and she then just repeats what she said two seconds ago. I can't help but see "404 FILE NOT FOUND" flashing through her brain.
Palins "404 file" moment ... "Uh, that's my one line memorized answer. That's what was in the study guide."

For those that only read the transcript, you might want to go and watch the clip too. Beyond just getting her go beyond memorizing stock answers, Palin's handlers need to reinforce the importance of body language. Case in point: when (American) people say something they agree with, they will often nod their head in affirmation as they say it; when they say something they disagree with, they'll shake their head no as they say it. You'll see Palin doing this throughout the interview. Oddly enough, when asked if why she thinks the country is waiting to hear McCain's response and not Obama's (at around 2:25 into that clip), she starts off her reply by saying it's because she thinks McCain has got the track record and the leadership qualities for it. And she's shaking her head no as she mentions track record and yes once she mentions leadership qualities.
Body language is important, especially if you want to know how to lie convincingly.

As you can see from my posts, I am not giving a free pass. That does not mean I am willing to let Obama loose in the White House. Again, there are just too many issues on which I disagree with the Democrats.

That was a train wreck of epic proportions.
Change to into above and you now have a reality of modern times: the Palin Principle. For example: several CEOs of big companies, the President of Venezuela.

i didn't hear Katie ask anything about McCain's involvement in the S&L
crisis of the '80's, which resulted in a $500 billion bailout. McCain was
one of the "Keating 5", who advocated going easy on one of the most
corrupt bankers, Keating.
it looked like Katie would be better in the White House than Palin.

Its not nerves
If she was nervous you would have seen it in her RNC speech.
She lacks confidence. Either she is hearing what people are saying in the media about her
OR (and I believe this to be the case)
She is realizing she is in over her head.
This is why she is kept hidden from reporters she doesn't have a clue about almost anything that's going on.
When she doesn't understand the question, she basically just repeats back to the reporter what the reporter actually stated.
It's like the NATO question that Gibson asked her, she was all about supporting Georgia joining, and when prodded about, you know, that fact that if Russia were to attack and Georgia was in NATO, then we would be obligated to fight the Russians, she sort of had that blank look in her eyes and repeated back to Gibson exactly what he had just stated.
This told me, without a doubt that she doesn't even know what NATO stands for, or what exactly it entails.
I bet before last week she had no idea what the SEC was or what the Fed does in this country.
But she will protect us from witchcraft, for which I am very thankful.

I'm glad to hear that another conservative is using his brain here
What, specifically, are issues with which you disagree with the Democrats. You may be surprised to find that Republicans are often more socialist/authoritarian (read; anti-freedom) than Democrats these days, though both are pretty awful choices.Originally posted by: CADsortaGUY

After he's done with the cookies he's going to toss salad.
Well according to most on the forum, I am stupid (for being religious). Saying that, I disagree with their stance on abortion, gay marriage. I also don't think that national healthcare or free education would be a good thing. I also realise that a politician is a politician and none of them are looking out for our causes. They each play their own game and make sure their party or even their own is taken care of regardless of the consequences it brings to the nation.
