MPR News: Palin speech stirs wide range of reactions

[MaidenUtah1]

Never mind Sarah.

I want to know what Larry The Cable guy had to say!

[gonzoglobal]

She appeals to the most ignorant voter out there, they were all so drawn in by her energy and ability to deliver a speech that they didn't realize that most of what she did was criticize obama to hide her own in-experience. Obviously republicans chose her as a gimmick to attract women voters specially Hilary supporters because they really believe that most women are ignorant and will vote for her only because she's a woman.

[joedukem]

Sara Palin is a lying piece of shit! Hiding her husbands emails used on Government time, supporting the "Bridge to Nowhere" before she was against it, and abusing her job to fire people she dooesn't like. McCain and Palin want to keep ruining our country. Making the rich richer and the poor poorer. They want to destroy the middle class. Hockey sucks too!

[JulietsMan]

check out the web page for the Alaska Daily News. Remember, she allegedly has had, as many claims stated, from 80% to 95% approval rating in her home state. Even the editors of the home state rag are seeing inconsistencies in "their candidates" remarks. if THEY can be objective why cant others?? A...D...N...DOT...COM/politics­/story/515517.html

[mrjbraves]

I'm not sure why this doesn't get pointed out more, but her approval rating last year was in the 90's and now it's in the 80's. So in a little over a year, her approval has dropped 10 points. Interesting...

[JulietsMan]

do you think mccain bought this election the same way bush did?im really beginning to feel cynical.

[JulietsMan]

i had to copy and paste stuff from yahoo news cuz the right wingers are un willing or lazy to go do the research themsleves.i didnt write any of it, its from Associated Press Writer Jim Drinkard in Washington contributed to this report.

[JulietsMan]

Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.

He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.

[Poe397]

typical liberal thinking ..when one raises the tax burden of the wealthy..the poor pay it, do you not understand economics at all.When the minimum wage goes up everything goes up, and you're liberal think tank is of course going to side with obamas plan.

[jabusso]

What kind of fiscal conservative raises taxes and spending in both her jobs as mayor and as Governor?

[JulietsMan]

ok. ok you are right. you are God incarnate...i am scum...please let me work for 4.15/hour. i may not be able to afford to rent a room in Bisbee Az, and i may have to roller blade down a dirt road to my job at the BOBCAT PROVING GROUNDS, but it keeps the price of cosmetics low at Macy's so some rich 4-eyed whore from alaska can LOOK LIKE THE SLUT SHE VERY DEFINITELY IS ON NATIONAL TV while she proves that she KNOWS nothing about the role of prez or vice prez.shes a flavor of the week.

@julietsman

i mean this sincerely. you should consider checking into a mental health facility. you are delusional and need help. in my humble opinion, you are a danger to yourself and to others.

[JulietsMan]

thank you i take that as a compliment. I WIN AGAAAIIINN!!! i win AGAIN! COLONICS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

[tummielvr]

Why is Julietsman a danger, because of the obvious non-Republi-clan tone of the message?

[buzzmaxwell]

why is julietsman a danger? you are fucking kidding me right? you have to get past who someone is voting for and just see the person for who they are..julietsman is a fucking psycho and you not seeing that makes you most likely defective as well...

[tummielvr]

That comment was HILARRIOUS. I don't know if I agree that Sara Palin is a whore, although her daughter sure is, but the comment was HILARIOUS

[JulietsMan]

THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama's plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain's plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.

[JulietsMan]

PALIN: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."

[JulietsMan]

THE FACTS:Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate,Obama does have a more meager record.But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles.

[JulietsMan]

PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."

[JulietsMan]

PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending ... and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

[loovej]

It's very scary to hear people talk about her speech, like this was the best thing since... Anyways! What was it that she was sooo right on about? I really don't know. If I was a Republican voter, I would be like that gentleman: "how are you going to bring change and do jobs??" Everybody out of job right now don't necessarily have the knowledge or interest to know how to make fuel.

[JulietsMan]

how the hell is this a "wide range of reactions?"

[azintp]

seems balanced to me

[JulietsMan]

it only seems balanced to you cuz they only showed one person that didnt like her speech.i knwo there were more people there that were actually listening critically to her lie her ass off about obama.i checked all her accusations and they were all false.but i know im not gonna change ur opinion.if ur capable of being objective and thinking critically you will change ur own opinion...but i know thats never gonna happen.just vote with the crowd.

[azintp]

MPR had to search very long for that guy, everyone thinks she is an excellent choice.

[JulietsMan]

no they dont.

[azintp]

you talk like you know so much, but you know shit. why don't you grow up first before you tell grownups how they should vote? your opinions are incredibly naive and constant ranting is not going to change the fact that McCain is going to be the next president.

[JulietsMan]

i copied and pasted pretty much everything from various journalistic sources.NONE of it is my opinion.

[azintp]

you proved my point, you are an idiot!!!

[JulietsMan]

this priest walks into a gay bar.he goes to the foreman of the construction crew and says, "knock knock." the duck starts flapping its wings and says, "YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON!!" 2+2=5 suck me beautiful!!!

[azintp]

and your point is...?

[JulietsMan]

my point is....i love you.  will you please marry me? we have matching scabs. you eat yours and i do not, but this is not a problem; for i will feed you my scabs too and we can brand scabs among scabs, or scabs will innundate the earth. and Noah will build an ark, and that ark will be called "THE GOOD SHIP GO FUCK YOURSELF!!".

[JulietsMan]

hahaha i crack myslef UP!! hahaha

[azintp]

@JulietsMan

get some help for your schizophrenia!!!

Vote McCain / Palin!!!!!

[Poe397]

What the hell do you mean lie??show me where anything she said about lord obama was not dead on!

[JulietsMan]

i provided many examples of her inconsistencies.but im sure u have some kneejerk emotion based reaction.you'll probably call me a useless liberal pussy democrat and threaten to fuck my wife and kill me in my sleep...o well.

[catanarchy]

Don't be Don't be Duped by the Dorks! Vote for OBAMA & BIDEN if you know what's good for you... If you make more than 2 million a year vote for the GOP... Painful listening to these fans of Palin.. Slack-jawed Yokels... Cletus?

[pissyant69]

Yeah vote for obama if you make less then $50,000 cause your taxes will raise by 15%. enjoy the guy sitting on his porch doing nothing getting your check

[Kyaronss123]

Hell Yea. Sarah Palin 08.

[stephenjackson1]

Great vid, thanks man for posting.

[JogaOhio]

Only one guy understood that she had no facts, she just talked in "typical republican language".

[Hollybollie3]

Obama never has facts and he never explains how he is going to accomplish things or pay for all of his "big plans."

This speech was amazing. I'm voting for McCain, but I really wanted Romney. She has made me believe even more that I am making the right choice.

[JulietsMan]

you never listened to what he said.he goes into detail about his plans.

[Hollybollie3]

When and where? Show me a video/speech/article anything where he actually explains how he is going to accomplish everything he has promised and pay for it. He only explains enough to make people think he knows what he never talks about. Take alternative energy. I'm all for it, but it's not going to be feasible over night especially with people fighting wind turbines everywhere you go. Plus, without off-shore drilling and natural gas your not going to see an immeidate improvement.

[JulietsMan]

go find it yourself! are you inept?? the content is there all over the web and if you are actually smart enough to comprehend what you are reading you will find everything. GO DO IT OYUR DAMN SELF!!!!

[Poe397]

Good for you..I love to hear when people come around to logical and intelligent thinking...McCain-Palin 08

[stephenjackson1]

more facts and common sense than you libs have ever had so far in your convention.

[JulietsMan]

lib lib lib lib lib lib lib lib lib lib lib lib....is that all u fuckers can say?

[JulietsMan]

oops sory i didnt mean to give u thumbs down i agree with you.

[Poe397]

well as a "typical liberal"you just want the fairy godmother to come down and wave her magic wand and make all the bad things go away..sorry sweetheart the real world doesnt work that way..
