Unbelievable. I just saw a mccain spokesperson unable to answer why palin is qualified
Campbell Brown was the interviewer

The first thing thrown back from mccain's spokesperson was, john mccain has years of experience

Brown responded, that wasn't my question, what in palin gives her the qualifications to be president?

The spokesperson then said, Barrack Obama doesn't have any experience

Brown shot back, that wasn't my question, what in palin gives HER the qualifications to be president?

After avoiding the question the spokesperson said, because she was the leader of a national guard unit

Brown said, can you name one decision that palin made in the national guard that shows she has the qualifications to be president?

The mccain's spokesperson could not give anything specific, kept saying they were picking on palin, as though the question what makes her qualified shouldn't be asked



I now know exactly what these freaks are going to do. Blame the media for being "mean" to palin, and try to get the sympathy vote


How stupid are the American people

4. That was the first real tough questioning I had seen to the mccain campaign
The most disturbing thing about it was that the spokesperson thought that asking what makes palin qualified was picking on her

GEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

2. It'll be the liberal media's fault when she has to withdraw..
she'll go all victim on them, and cry about them dragging her family through the mud.

3. Even the Republicans can't defend her
If she was just unqualified they might, but the pregnant kid is driving them crazy.

She can't even run her own life, she's definitely not qualified to rule the country.

6. The last 8 years, and if mccain wins, what will that say
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 07:56 PM by still_one
That taking the country back 100 years is a smart thing?

we find out, because it really depends on that

if people vote against their own interest, I don't call that smart

and a campaign, i.e. mccain that gives the impression that "smart" people are elitists, say volumes

12. That does NOT account for why it was so close, because it was in the polls

15. The polls, in 2000, 2004, 2006, and even now. Do you think anything has been learned?
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 07:59 PM by still_one

22. Do you mean the exit polls? They show the elections in '00 & '04 were stolen!!
We WON in 2006!! :silly:

The pollsters skew the polls and they do NOT poll cellphone users!!

Don't believe the polls!!

10. I'll never understand the PR flak mind.
Do they think they are being smart when they don't answer the question and
jump straight to their talking points? Do they really think they are fooling ANYONE?

16. At least in this case the interviewer didn't let it go, which was a refreshing change
something I haven't seen done to republicans for years

24. I SAW THAT.
It was great. I'm really glad that Palin was chosen to bring the RW's hypocrisy to light.
In other news, Larry King might be somewhat interesting tonight. I'm going to watch. :popcorn:

WTF, it already is! Larry asked the Repub woman spokesperson "Do you think Palin's daughter's pregnancy says anything about McCain?" She starts out "What I think this says about Palin is..."

THEN SHE JUST FUCKING SAID THAT PALIN HAS MORE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE THAN OBAMA AND BIDEN COMBINED.
Fucktard.

25. They are in trouble and they know it. A seccesionist VP will not make it even in the GOP.
Even when she renounces the Alaska Independence Party this ticket is doomed.

in the face of GOP misdirection.
