John Mccain rides the Cynicism Express w/Sarah Palin

[tgggd86]

Palin has no experience? Well if McCain/Palin win she will have more experience that Barack Obama did when he said he was ready to run for president, and she is running for VICE president! What foreign affairs experience does Obama have? A Palestinian liberation viewpoint of the middle-east!? Do your research you mindless fools. It is about both sides of the story not what you want to hear.

[fhood]

hahah Here we are one month after the election, and OBAMA WON! I guess experience does count, after all, doesn't it? hahaha

How many red states did Obama turn blue on Election night? Several. How many blue states did McCain and Palin change to red on Election night? NONE!

Now that's what I call research!

[mrscorie]

Well he has been on the United States Foreign Relations Committee under Joe Biden who is the Chairman for three years. The job of the VP is to step in and br President. And she doesn't pass the smell test. Now you can't compare the two Obama was voted in by the American people he debated 25 times some of the brightest people in politics on domestic and international affairs, and he picked the head of the Foreign Relations Committee to be his VP. McCain picked Palin to win votes.

[franks2732]

Gee Willlycas

[innyopti]

Obama's "trickle up" poverty, NO WAY! I have a Bachelors of Science not a sociology or poly sci or anthro degree so i don't understand support of receiv'g/giv'g free handouts!

Palin Power!

[franks2732]

Isnt it great to see a women of integrity, who understands the issues, is well informed, educated and can clearly respond to the challengers which face a modern democracy, who hold no radical or fundamentalist ideals, who does not cling to "faith" as the only argument, its the "openness with the media I admire the most" her generosity, her ability to attack candidates on what they believe not with falsehood. Thats why i will vote for? Sorry Hillary is not running, its a moron Case Closed

[snkatak]

well said franks2732.

Palin is going to prove to be the worst "palling around" anyone has done in political history.

[carla0924]

That sounds very dumb! So what you have a BS degree..What does that mean?

[dirtyal1234]

rachel maddow freaks me out. is she a guy or girl, or simply between a sex change?

[mrscorie]

Rachel Maddow is the truth. And a rhodes scholar might I add.

[caelenlim]

just got webcam again!

[sleonardelli]

13malabar: Oh, like charging rape victims for their rape kits; abolishing Roe v Wade resulting in hanger abortions? While I strongly oppose abortion as a form of birth control for the ignorant I believe their are sufficient cases for abortion. I don't believe raped women should pay for their rape kit just 2 convict their rapist. Get real!

[13malabar]

you are way too simple minded. i believe women should have the right to an abortion, but we must educate and do as much as possibel to bring down the number of abortions. you make my point though very nicely- liberal women refuse to work together on any womens issue, it must be their way or nothing at all, as if they repreent every woman in America. no party does. your blind juvenile hate, just like many others (dem&rep), ensure a divisive and hate filled administration regardless of who wins.

[sleonardelli]

13malabar: U didn't even come close 2 what I was saying. Abortion is not a form of birth control but many women make mistakes without the "father" owning up. Palin supported charging rape victims 4 their rape kits; that is what I am most opposed 2. Yes, I'd love 2 C a woman in the White House but not Palin; she scares me. U missed the point of this vid; she's lied about the bridge 2 nowhere; so what else has she lied about? Palin's appointed friends with little/no experience to govt posts.

[13malabar]

woulda loved to c any minority in the White House, but i honestly don't believe that either Obama or Palin are ready. surprised i included her? well it's true. my first comment is true too, i do believe people underestimated her, like some did Obama in the primaries, but- and it kills me to say it_ biden and McCain are the only 2 i believe should be running at all. as 4 the rape kit thing, it was wrong of her, but decimate her now and when do you think the next woman will get a shot like this?

[sleonardelli]

13malabar: Now that troopergate is over w/Palin being accused of ethics/abuse of power violations it will be interesting 2 C where the elections go now. McSame has been way 2 eractic/unfocused in the debates whereas Obama appears cool/calm/collected. Remember, there are checks/balances & Obama's chosen cabinet that will provide him the necessary "experience". Obama/Biden 08.

[13malabar]

well i won't fall for any mortal being being deitized by aeither party, ever. what some people expect of him, and the attributes given him, i think could make for a very dangerous administration. personally, if my nephew was tased and my dad's life was threatened i would absolutely try to have the culprit fired. if Obama gets elected we'll be fine as long as he continues avoiding any disagreements with his party and sticks to the script they give him. wonderful actor, but not my messiah

[Drucef]

Sarah Palin revealed that her daughter was pregnant....and asked that we respect her privacy. She's obviously delusional AND looking for the attention in the wrong way. Anti-intellectualism really does appeal to the republican base. Stupid people.

[Sshelly34213]

that's typical behavior of a sociopath, i mean just watch her in interviews she's always winking?? its almostl like a habit of hers. She also has a history of sticking her friends in office and firing those that disagree with her.

[Swayingpines]

There is no rule of law in Alaska. Sarah Palin was subpoened in a lawsuit by the court but both she and her husband Todd just ignored it (with McCain's blessings)and the Alaskan Court could do nothing. This proves they are above the law!

[Swayingpines]

Sarah Palin's husband Todd Palin was registered as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party in 1995 and 2000!

The Alaskan Independence Party advocates a state vote which includes several options like territorial status, increased state autonomy.

The party members have also proposed the possibility of joining an independent Western Canadian State.

The U.S. sovereignty over Alaska has been disputed most recently by a movement launched by Joe Vogler and the Independence Party!

[xenotoxette]

If she was a fucking moron and was governor of a state like Georgia or New York or a state with a major city and had a degree from an accredited university, I might give her a little more credence. However, she's not, and she doesn't.

I think I get stupider every time she opens her mouth.

[joeasmythe]

isn't msnbc irrelevant now?

[TheUnnormals]

I agree with Eugene Robinson.

This was not country first.

This was a cynical choice.

John McCain has put John McCain first with his VP choice.

Mavericks make terrible leaders.

[xsful]

I'd be happy if the words "maverick", "hockey mom", "joe six pack", and "ya" would just go away.

[azia2x]

wow, all these palin-bashing would surely have a backlash on the democrats. through the excesses of the liberal press, the mccain-palin team has unintentionally became the underdog. should be interesting to see what happens on election day. btw, i'm not american and these are just my observations.

[lynnpwilliams]

This is an honest look at McCain and his choice of a running mate. If you are rationalizing this with an open-mind and open-heart, these are very ligitimate comments and thoughts for serious Americans. How can you NOT think this through and ask these serious questions.....What does a VP do?? you gotta wonder!

[neekz666]

lol @ Palin gettin flattned into a pancake and.. LOL AT PALIN

[lamouchemorte]

Rachel Maddow is great.

[SageDerf]

When I go to McDonalds and order a hotcakes meal, I am gonna call it a McPalin because she is gonna get flattened on Thurs. like a pancake.

[44244424]

polotics. i think we would be better off as a tribal world, survival of the fittest, no more electricity, no polotics, "yapping monkeys",

trading bones for stuff or whatever. lets do that

[faxrule]

Palin is a an honest and energetic woman, intelligent and strong, she loves her country and has been working actively for many years. Obama is dishonest, his supporters, i.e. geraldine ferrero, laugh when he tells lies and is caught doing it, no conscience in this man, he is listless and an egotisical windbag.....he and biden have that in common....it has taken him months to train up to not use his teleprompter and even then he is wooden, a puppet with no intellectual honesty. Dangerous

[appraiser1979]

Palin has done more for Alaska (which for you democrats in the West/East Coasts) is located to the northwest between Canada and Russia. It holds a very large source of minerals and energy. Since she's been governor, she's done more to actually produce something of worth than Obama (community agitator) or Biden (senatorial seat warmer) have combined. Take that and chew on it you narrow minded, venom filled, ignorant, pompous, radical, Marxist (now that's what Russia was) Obama worshipers.

[wafuuwafuu]

Why so many words? Why not admit you're a racist and save a little space for someone else?

[appraiser1979]

What is rascist about my comments? I have black friends, been on missions trips to parts of the world you'd probably care less about, and worship God who came in the form of a Jew. Tell me how I'm rascist by disagreeing with policy.

[chubs6579]

LMAO..that is just absolutely typical of conservatives that post on Youtube. They reserve to name calling similar to Bill O'Reilly because they simply cannot make a logical point. Wasilla went from having no debt to 23 million dollars in debt, a town of only 7,000 people. I dont care if she has done alot for Alaska cause lets face it, Alaska IS NOT a microcosm of the US like she claims it is. Her day to day concerns in Alaska revolve around a moose getting into the garbage.

[appraiser1979]

So you're saying she spends money on mooses getting into garbage. If you're so concerned about the vice-presidency as you seem to be, tell me how Biden (who has a history of fraud & rascist remarks) goes by under the public rador as just "Joe being Joe". That's arrogence. You can argue numbers if you can support them, but she's done more in her time to support development than Joseph Biden or Barak Huessein Obama have combined.

[librophile]

ANAGRAM = UNCOVER HIDDEN *MEANING* IN A NAME Barack Hussein Obama (18 letters) = BANK HIM, B.O. USA-CAESAR *Support Barack Obama, Great USA-LEADER* Joseph Biden (11 letters) = HIP, NEED JOBS *Joe is aware, Americans need jobs* John Sidney McCain (16 letters) = HEN JOINS MAD CYNIC *Mother (of many) teams up with McSenile* Sarah Louise Heath Palin (21 letters) = PARIAH TO HIS NAUSEA HELL *She'll impede his failing campaign*

[appraiser1979]

Boy it's hard to rationalize with irrational people.

[avibard]

That short haired lady, (Rachel?) is awesome-- who is she? She seems very passionate compared to most of the others.

[ameliabedelia99]

very few women get to hold such high positions in the us govn't as palin potentially might - wish they had picked a more informed/intelligent woman (there are plenty) - does nothing to help the feminist cause to have a woman in a high position of power if she's such a lightweight.

[fourfortynine]

I agree. Although I support Obama, it would be nice to see a woman who was chosen for more reasons than to fill the "hillary" void. The garbage that comes out of her mouth shows exactly why people feel that women are subordinate and cannot possibly be smart & attractive simultaneously and hold responsible positions without getting a handout from some man who reaps the benefits. Although Biden will rip her a new hole Thursday,I honestly would like to see her hold her own for the sake of women.

[whyohyoukayoh]

McCain wants Obama to win, that's why he chose Palin.

[carviangli]

lmao...so true ;p

[ndizindoto]

Malcolm X would not vote for Obama because he is an illusionist. Watch the video "Who would Malcolm X vote for?" part 1,2,3.

[otherworldz]

so he would vote for mccain?

[ndizindoto]

He would vote for neither McCain or Obama. Farrakhan has admitted putting the hit on Malcom X, who was peaceful and good. Farrakhan is a piece of shit. Obama is a piece of shit for even associating with Farrakhan. Watch video 'Farrakhan admission on MalcomX'.

[apt420inc]

nice how you dont mention jeery falwell being associated with mccain

[ndizindoto]

I'm not for McCain or Obama

[apt420inc]

rather you are or not you dont bash one canidate without calling the others faults out i mean if your not for ither then you a closet racist for even being so onesided

[ndizindoto]

I say the truth about both... Democrats and Republicans are both hypocrites. They lie and people make a choice between one liar and the other denying that they're responsible for any problems. They both are responsible for the state of our economy. The people that choose one or the other are caught up in fighting for their choice, ignorant to what is really going on. Dems and Reps want that. The people lose. Politicians win.

[apt420inc]

wtf that got to do with you putting out what obama has done or associates with and not doing the same for mccain ? dont avoid the question just answer it i never ask who you were for you offered that all i made was a clear statement about you calling one out and not the other

[ndizindoto]

You see you are getting worked up because you have chosen a side, the fox. My message was not about any one specific person. I believe that MalcomX was a great man and that he was assassinated by Farrakhn. I don't care about Falwell he didn't kill MalcomX. Watch the vid 'why Malcom X would not vote for Obama' in full - 3 parts. Don't worry he probably would not vote for McCain either and he also wouldn't give a shit about Falwell.

[apt420inc]

not getting worked up just pointing out your obvious bias man you guys do make me sick with your assumptions on what who would do you know what they say about assumption tho and with that i will end my responses to your lameness

[ndizindoto]

example: zennie

[praxiteleanhermes]

PROPHECY: 'To PALINATE' will enter English lexicon in a year's time as verb meaning to make a poor, rash decision on account of increasing desperation and unscrupulousness.

[subprime2006]

John McCain in Vietnam's POW = American citizen

John McCain of now  = Politician

[northjerseysun]

Seeing Sarah Palin being paraded around town like a queen bee by her omnipresent handlers, for weeks not available for a single question, is painful & very embarrassing.

What can McCain even be thinking about, claiming she'd make a great stand-in?

He's a rare malignant melanoma survivor (so far) - actuarial tables tell us he has a one-in-three chance of not even completing his first term.

Will someone please tell me this isn't happening to what used to be the greatest country in the world?

[flashback950]

Palins beliefs come from John McCain so how does she think she will shake things up?

Don't but it for one minute.

Sorry to say, McCain is mad & FEEBLE!

No longer a maverick so they need to stop shoveling that load of crap.

[rev12a]

How many recounts do you think will happen this time, until McCain Wins.

[meganmcdonald2006]

interestingly, I believe russia is actually resuming flights over us airspace in the past few months since Putin decided to show off russian military strength...google it, there are washington post articles, cnews (canada) etc

[sfcub69]

I don't care what kind of fight she's got in her...if Palin is going to continue to tout DISCRIMINATION against WOMEN and GAYS, by overturning Roe V. Wade and supporting the "traditional definition of marriage," then her fire is as dull as McCain's is.

[ggalen]

I believe they are sacrificing Palin along with the old white guy Mccain for this Presidency in hopes of regaining the white house four years from now through a sympathy vote. Painting a victimization of female politicians in their party, right along with the Democratic dumping of Hillary. A seasoned politician like Ann Hutchinson could come out four years from now and win with a sympathy vote from the female majority in the country.

[ShariqTorres]

You're not going to get a conservative women in the White House. Because the issues that women care about lean more to the Democratic -- equal pay, the economy, education, abortion.

A conservative women automatically splits the women vote. Then you have to deal with the sexism that's in the Republican party.

Seblius '16!

[geroldf]

No ggalen - the problem with the GOP is that they are completely bankrupt. Bereft of ideas, bereft of integrity, utterly and completely false and hollow to the core. McSame, bad as he is, was the best they had.

[ggalen]

You're probably right.

[cscbill]

Barack Obama is a..... LOVING FATHER LOVING HUSBAND INSPIRATIONAL INTELLIGENT GREAT LEADER GREAT COMMUNICATOR INCLUSIVE BI-PARTISAN HONEST FAIR FIGHTER ...............Barack Obama is A WINNER!

[BurningLexicon]

Tim Russert would have had a field day with this debacle. R.I.P.

[crock703]

that's the truth. He got diluted and entranced by the myth of 'Washington' at times, but he could generally be counted on for smoking out a liar. He would expose Palin as a paper-thin caricature with her own words.

[seamoremonster]

Interesting debate McCain's pick for VP. Thinking people are beginning to see flaws in this reasoning choice. I think the Palin choice has seriously come back to haunt him. It has already evolved in three stages: firstly, it took the focus off him and onto her, secondly, it put the focus on his health and age and thirdly, people began to question the widsom of his choice in regard to her actually becoming president in the event of his demise. I don't think it was a smart move.

[hyebiz]

good analysis

[jesibyrd]

It didn't show us flaws in his reasoning choice. It showed how SHARP his reasoning choices will be............

[crock703]

And all that teemed with him becoming completely dishonest in his ads (and Palin in her speeches.) Palin's speeches are nasty when you get down to it. Attack Obama on policy or ability but don't lie or incite divisiveness just to win. I'm 70/30 about Obama, but McCain has exposed himself (and Palin herself) as just pure ambition - win at all costs & be damned the consequences, "Country First!". Which country? 'The one I run!' Gross arrogance.

He can only lie more & incite more fear now.

[goblai67]

McCain is a war heroe who is not ready to lead.

Think...

[cleo1994]

John McCain = Country First. That's a joke.

John McCain was willing to sell his soul to win the election.

[truthislifeis]

go washington post! poor palin its not her fault she doesnt know anything about politics.

[jbernanke]

it is clear.

the McCain campaign is trying to pull in more women voters. that's why they picked Sarah Palin.

[postsupernatural]

John Mccain is a liar.  Tell everyone. It's very important.

[epricks880]

god is good!,you people talking about nothing,mccain palin,obma biden,cant keep us safe ,mccain !!you lied again biggest one in yo intire life,i cant keep america safe ,god keeps america safe, ismain going to save us from his destruction up on this land,Ike the hurricane ,prove it mccain go out there on texas and save those people right you cant,

[33ithink]

I would have gave Gov. Palin 100% props if she would have told MCcain to shove it, she was not ready and she was not going to be used as a poster child to up his points in this election.

[padude64]

Bush was cocky and 911 happened! We do not need anymore cocky republicans in office! You so called macho men shall see that this country is in trouble and to vote for a bitch like Palin can be dangerous!

[padude64]

I will not vote for McCain! Nor Palin because she is a cocky bitch!I will vote Biden and Obama

[AlaskanToo]

If this really happens my nightly prayer...

Dear Lord, now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to take should John McCain die before I wake because this is something I could not take. Amen

[fmlyman68]

Good point. Republicans kept hitting on experience. Picking Palin means they dont care about experience either.

[fzavalatjc]

mccain by a landslide just watch, if they are really worried about her experience and her being a heartbeat away from the oval office then why are these same loons not worried about obamas experience BEING the heartbeat! thats insane! shes in the number 2 slot hes in the 1! i

[LILATOWN678]

You are just stipid ever dently you don't drive a car maybe you have a snow mobile idiot.

[369gx]

"POW in Nam!"

[nooly33]

No sir! People vote for right or left and expect a president close to population. Left = BullShit so McCain/Palin is the choice, in this uncertain world you need tough people at the white house not a stupid clown like Obama the hollywood whore. People are discusing about experience of Palin, lol Obama have zero experience. He suck and DEM suck, they make promises they will never do. DEM scum expect to have favor of minority and poor people. That's Bullshit! Socialism dont work!

[treyb09]

Ha, your ignorance is quite amusing. Would you like to know why the Republican ticket is deplorable? Because John McCain sold his bipartisan soul to the GOP 8 years ago so he could run in 2008. The man traded in every admirable quality he had to appease George Bush and his conservative constituency. Every aspect of John's policy that made him a Maverick was whored out to gain a broader support base. And choosing a one year, extremist governor with an ethics investigation as VP? No thank you.

[nooly33]

You are all wrong! McCain have made a good pick with Sarah, her investigation is a joke, she fired a guys who was unefficient, the guys admit it himself on camera, and the trooper was a violent jerk who was driving drunk, who tearser his 10 years old nevew, who killed mooses out of season, who beat his wife and more... She was alright to get ride of those jerks! She's extremist? No she fight for her values, she went against her own party cause they were wrong. Your ignorance must be heal dude!

[treyb09]

Ok, you addressed part of the Palin issue. What's wrong? Can't explain away John McCain's conservative sellout? Fighting for you values is one thing; threatening to fire a librarian because they won't abide to your request at censorship is EXTREMISM! That is a constitutionally protected right and I am tired of right-wing extremists like Bush and Palin who are trying to undermine the US constitution. It isn't going to happen, not again. You need to educate yourself, or remain quiet.

[nooly33]

Dont use the word EXTREMISM if you dont know what it mean! Pussy like you can use every trick to attack a politician even use the word EXTREMISM when you dont know the meaning. 911 was EXTREMISM, fight EXTREMISM muslim mean fight for our freedom, for our faith, for our way to live. Read what is write one U.S. dollar... If you are a pussy, just STFU and let the real Courageous people do their job and protect your freedom.

[gunjitsingh]

you need a dickslap across your face.

[treyb09]

It amazes me that you still continue to spew your ignorance about like a whore selling her wares on the streets. EXTREMISM is defined as any POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS theory that favors immoderate, uncompromising policies. Sarah Palin epitomizes that definition with her rigid, right-wing policy. You speak of freedom in such a contradictory manner, it is quite a disgrace. Maybe you should look up the definition? FREEDOM is NOT threatening to ban books from a public library! Explain McCain's sellout!

[fmlyman68]

Yup. If I remember, Obama said the Iraq war would distract us and take resources away from the war on terror. McCain voted for the war. Oh, by the way, does anyone remember that the Bush administration lied about WMD and the connection to Al Qaeda.

[EyFmS]

Sorry to interrupt the conversation,but i had to reply.

Courageous mans?courage pretty much like yours no?Hiding behind the Canadian Flag,your not from Canada you ignorant piece of shit.You sound more like a hick from the Southern US.The same people you defend brought 911 on the U.S Population.Not because you live free or because you believe in Jesus.Why dint they attack Mexico city or any city in South America?They have more Christian believers there than in your country.You are the Extremist.

[chesterdouglas]

I pray to Christ that English is your second (or third) language, because if you are a native speaker, dear Lord...

[maggot68584]

If Obama is a Hollywood whore, then what was Reagan?

Hmm...

[efeez1986]

It's very clear that a certain group of people in the U.S are voting based off race and gender instead of the real issues like the economy, education and foreign policy. How did McCain get ahead of Obama on the polls if Palin hasn't even spoken to the media openly yet? When is McCain going to start talking about education? America is a country full of idiots.

[dimplepimp]

Yes, America is a country full of idiots - and McCain would like for it to stay that way. Stupid people are so much easier to manipulate.

[nooly33]

Obiviously Obama have manipulate you very well

[LILATOWN678]

You are crazy 8 years of bull shit and you want 4 more.

[dimplepimp]

nooly33, learn how to spell before you call me stupid.

[shakybearpaw]

This has nothing to do with religion. It's all about money and the white house. These people will sell their souls and claim a religion to get in office. The conservatives who so want all this to be true are being fooled again. There will be more about her religion coming out and the tied will turn just be patient

[khumbu05]

here comes ww3 if America, puts john Mc'Caine, in office

[GWBushsuks]

Conservative Republican sell values through myths built upon preceived media image

but the biggest conceived Conservative myth in media making right now IS Sarah Palin.

[moneyfornewbies]

These kind of reports are what drives McCain's poll numbers through the roof.

[baxmonstertrak]

why dont you guys drink the tea and eat the scones to keep your mouths busy the other way

[RepresentativeEAB]

If he gets elected he will have 8 houses. That's crazy isn't it?
