Hmm...from CBS, of all place. I like the transparency. http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/20/politics/fromtheroad/entry4531447.shtml
I believe she will be further distancing herself from McCain for future political aspirations, whether it be governorship or beyond.
Regardless of her intent, I find it refreshing considering that the other three candidates are so sheltered from the press when it gets down to crunch time. Obama has a pack of sycophants flying with him, yet he won't even go back to the pack for some more Q and A softballs?
Hilarious. I've caught some of her on TV lately. She still rarely answers the actual question asked of her, but rather trots out her rehearsed absurd attacks of Socialism!!!, Terrorists!!!... When she does attempt to give answers, her ignorance is blinding, her opinions ridiculous. Aside from being a hateful, self-obsessed idiot, the fact she ducked America for 40 days means she forfeits the right to serve us in any capacity, IMO.
She's only allowed to talk to the press now because they've given up hope of winning. But still, I will give her credit for talking to the press now, it is certainly better than the alternative, even if her goal is just to promote herself for future contests. barfo
There's no question that Obama is running out the clock in some ways. It's not the bravest strategy, but it is smart. In other ways, he's being aggressive - going after states he doesn't need to win, like WV and ND. That's also smart. barfo
Hmmm...it appears Palin is removing from the press corps on her plane anyone who asks troubling questions of her. Joe Klein, Maureen Dowd and others have been barred, despite there being several empty seats in the sparsely scattered press area. Cowardice and avoidance remain her true nature with a few weeks to go.
They have socialist tendencies. In a Palin administration, they'll be shipped to a gulag within sight of Russia. barfo
I wonder whats next for the McCain campaign to try to hang on Obama, followed by people voting for McCain pushing it to the hilt? Much like how certain people constantly brought up Ayers, out of nowhere, at the same time that the McCain party decided to bring it up again..and then started to call him a socialist and imply the same crap that the McCain party is implying about Obama...coincidentally, right after the McCain campaign did... whats the next hand-full of shit they throw at the wall, hoping it sticks?
Hard to say. The Obama campaign put out a memo today saying that the McCain camp had 10 different themes, just today. Definitely a see-what-sticks strategy. But what else can they do? barfo
Desperate times call for desperate moves. Instead of talking about what they're going to do about the economy, they start making personal attacks against Obama. All it will do is drive more people away from McCain because he's/they're not sticking to issues people care about.
It's not personal attacks, it's telling the majority of America (which really have no clue at the moment) the truth about Obama, about the future president, who is about to CHANGE everything, including our freedoms. I actually blame McCain and his campaign for not doing enough to get the word out about Obama and his relationship with Rev Wright and that terrorist who should have gotten the chair or should have been hung for preaching the destruction of our own country. (plus he thinks he didn't do enough, and I bet he loves the fact that Obama is about to become the #1 in the US)
He has enforced the freedoms that you cherish and made it possible to protect them but going after the terrorists wherever they are in the world. You really are blinded if you think you have no freedom. We live in the country with too much freedom IMO, where a person can bomb the pentagon, etc and yet get away with it. (ayers)
I don't see how you can say something like this and still maintain your irrational fear of socialism.
The truth about Obama? What Republican's want to see as the "truth" has been re-hashed by every media outlet there is several times. People who really want to know the "truth" about his affiliations can find it anywhere and its their fault that they are too lazy to find out the real truth. However, the people who realize there is nothing substantial with any of the bullshit that they've been smearing and don't really give a flying fuck anyways, because they care about real issues that effect our country have already decided that Karl Rove style politics is a thing of the past.
