Part 9 of 10 - Vice-Presidential Debate - Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, October 2, 2008

[909pleasantville]

WHY didn't Joe Biden become President? At least he would not let China run the USA to the tune of 1 TRILLION dollars. And Obama would go anywhere to get jobs for Americans, including brothels...plenty of jobs there!

[barbaro52]

I do not fear a depression because I have a depression proof job. There are only 2 people in my town that can do my job- me and the one who takes my place when I have a day off. I fear for others. Please consider your vote carefully! The job that may be lost might be yours if you aren't in a "necessity" type job like I am.

[barbaro52]

weneedmccain,weneedmccain Ayers,Wright,&Rezko NObambinBiden! NO to capital tax raise that will cripple businesses in America already struggling to keep afloat-- businesses that hire people). The place that you work at could go under because of Obama's raise in cap taxes. Will you love him then???

[damane09]

partisianship, tumultuous..... my these are such gigantuous words for someone who knows so little about anything, ms palin. way to back-up mccain, and at the same time say nothing at all...

MAVERICK

[hrithikmania98]

nope, she doesnt. she just keeps winking as if that were the best answer she could give. what a loser.

[Keelan929]

she doesn't answer the question !!

[HankMeyer]

What's with all the Canadians here? You don't get a vote. Also, I dislike socialists and Liberals. A federal government should serve one function only: keep out invading powers. I could live happily without every single other "service" it offers. We don't need "free" food, we don't need "free" healthcare, we don't need "social security," and we don't need a Federal Bank.

[ErinVonBaron]

*You* don't need social security because you're a rich white kid who doesn't have to worry about a thing because you grew up with money. You've never had to fight for anything because you're white, male, hetero and PRIVILEGED. Some people don't have it so easy and *they* need these services. And when you're an old man whose retired and your money is running out you'll need these social services. Your conception of government function is dangerously obtuse

[HankMeyer]

Rich my ass. I work for a living, and live paycheck to paycheck. My goals in life are to purchase a very small plot of land outside of the city, grow my own food , generate my own electricity, gather and store my own water, earn less than $1000 per year, and let nature kill me off when it sees fit.

MAVERICK

1.Southwestern U.S. an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, esp. an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother.

2.a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.

3.(initial capital letter) an electro-optically guided U.S. air-to-ground tactical missile for destroying tanks and other hardened targets at ranges up to 15 mi. (24 km).

[flatpicker74]

I just want to say that, in regards to Palin, I feel, as a Canadian, that in the moment which she is, at this time in hand, trying to make a struggle to the White House, I feel for, sympathetically, her, and that she, as a single hockey mom, boldly reaches for, and as darn difficult as it may be, regarding this topic, which is of grave importance, the best for all hard working Americans.

oh yeah... and guns are awesome!

[cassius878]

As a canadian... im scared shitless of our big brother to the south getting someone even more stupid than Bush. Please, oh please america... don't fuck up this vote! McCain has some good things about him, but not enough to out-weigh the fact that he has troll of a running-mate.

[withjustonel]

i cannot stand her! she keeps trying to emphasize how shes a "normal Joe-six pack" and that's who Americans want to see represented in the VP spot. I BEG TO DIFFER. i think our leaders should be exceptional, eloquent, diplomatic - especially with the current state of the nation. this country already voted for "someone like us" and got stuck with President Numb Nuts! im sure shes a capable governor and she seems intelligent but she's out of her league! go back to your PTA meeting, sarah!!!

[predatortap]

she is not even a capable governor and when she was mayor before governor the city she was mayor of was fine before she took office and was in major debt when she left office

[Sikorski92]

I was really moved by Biden's comments. He is assertive, he displayed some true emotions, this guy is complete.

Do Americans need another executive, oil executive? Bush was a very good oil executive. Ok, I will stop criticising Palin but her wordview, common! Worldview: america nation of exceptionalism, we are not perfect as a nation, we have the perfect ideal, we are a beacon hope. What a nutter, who wrote that rubbish? Why does she reads this stuff?

[NNHH3]

Maverick he is not!!! Best line ever.

[Vig07]

STOP CALLING YOURSELF AND J. MCCAIN Mavericks!!!!!!!

[predatortap]

a maverick doesn't flip flop and change is stance on everything constantly based on what he thinks people want to hear mccain is no maverick that is a two faced little kiss ass and you can never trust that type of unreliable slippery slimy sneaky person

[AlmightyDoctor]

Palin's "worldview" line made me shudder. Their shared lack of worldview and "unapologetic" elitism/nationalism is what makes me dislike them the most.

[iloveshija]

Yeh right,being a business owner and knowing how too meet ends don't really match..whom is she trying to fool?

[iloveshija]

What is wrong with her? what's up with that ""DARN" thing? Does she think that this is the way to call up on Americans?

[jSilverel]

Biden shows some serious confidence in his delivery and content, but then again... who wouldn't?

Governing one of the smallest populations in the US isn't exactly flattering. She needs to get her snow boots on and start heading home. Maybe if she pulled out of the VP nomination McCain would stand a chance. All Palin is doing is drawing in the pity of the stay at home moms that don't know a thing about politics.

[skimmy290]

definitely. i completely agree. she keeps trying to pull off the "i'm a commoner" stance, yet she forgets that we remember that she had a private jet! i never had a private jet! any one who has a slightest knowledge of politics has to know that she is a complete idiot. if she becomes vp...God help us all ...

[prizzle9]

It's actually quite entertaining to watch Biden laughing.

[sunnywilkins]

can she stop saying maverick im sick and tired of hearing it....................

[myfleshdiesdaily]

LOl thank you so much..its makin me hate Dallas

[dannyhlin]

I'm surprised how easily Biden slaughtered Palin in most cases.

He's much better informed, has much more depth, has a mastery over the issues and knowledge that Palin cleary doesn't.

On the other hand, Palin was ill informed and lacked substance, and she really abused the word "maverick". I wonder why Biden didn't refute Palin's assertion that McClain's maverick earlier. The final ambush at the end really made Palin's "maverick" seem childish and silly...

[CymusTrunks]

There's practically no views on this, how? Don't people care? This shit is serious, palin is ridiculous and so is JOHN MCCAIN

[sevgimehebbet]

i hate the word maverick!!!

[soupy0007]

I'm not even an American and I'm wincing at Sarah Palin's answers. hahah

[drims88]

omfg biden cant stop from laughing at palin's inability to answer the actual question and not go off on a tangent

Second!

[nanoteknz]

first! lol
