I'm from California ( in a RARE Conservative Town) and I LOVE PALIN! Most of these folks haven't a clue who she is or what she stands for. Ignorance is bliss I guess and it seems the majority of Left and East Coasters seem to live In the "Exosphere" of Bliss. Vote Palin for President in 2012, we need a Individual with a brain and no Foreign Loyalties to UN-American Ideologies.
Sonja is just exposing her bias the same as she thinks exposing others. Anybody who said they liked sarah's book before they read it is just as wrong as anybody who said they didnt like it before they read it. A book that hasnt been out yet but has copies sold only means people are interested in the book. It doesnt mean they like it. They may feel ripped off after reading it. Sonja ofcourse doesnt narrate in such a way to let you know how stupid people are for liking a book they havent read yet.
I think many Americans DID fear her, because she came across as an uninformed candidate in key mainstream interviews during the election. I would've thought this was obvious.
She had a bestselling book because she is well known, she is well known because, putting it politely, she 'stuck out' as a candidate, in a globally significant election.
I would think that fame/notoriety was a more likely reason for her book to be a bestseller, rather then, say, everybody agreeing with her political views.
@roryphelan I love the Palin issue! before her who even looks twice at VP picks? I have never felt differently about a presidential candidate based on their vp pick.
Joe Biden? thats the best Obama could get? the guy sticks his foot in his mouth a couple times so they take him out of the public eye and somehow hes the "informed" VP pick?
I dislike the idea of Palin as president, VP though who cares? Cheney was hated and he was VP for two terms, how great was Al Gore?
@Shargrailar Who cares if Palin is VP??!! Hello?! If that cranky old man McCain won we would all be dead by now! He would have had a stroke and/or heart attack with all the shit Bush left behind to clean up so then what would that mean?? Yup. Palin would be president. But of course by now she would have caused WW3 and we would all be dead and I would not be able to write this
The liberal Democrazis are more than dumb as rocks. They cannot answer ANY simple question with a simple answer. And when they can't answer truth they either call you names or call you a racist. Hey. that about the same thing.
I voted for Clinton in the primary. By then I'd stopped discussing the election with my other Dem/Lib friends. I was getting more and more ticked off with everyone shoving Obama done my throat, and that includes all the teachers (except the Math teacher) at my college. After a lifetime as a Dem/Lib I was getting fed up, seeing too much the didn't square up. Palin's treatment was the last straw, and I voted Republican for the first time ever. Glad I did now. No turning back for me.
@ironbuttermilk Good for you! The further you dig the more you'll know. And remember, you're going to go out into life and be a member of society. Teachers and Professors do not have real jobs. They are government employees and know nothing about America in the least. They go to school college then go right back to teach school and college. Their whole lives are based on other people paying their way. Their it advice is a joke.They know nothing of life or people. Dismiss them and learn Dif eq
So this dope head goes around with a microphone poking people as to why they don't wish to buy St. Mary's book? So pathetic. If you want to beg, crawl on your knees and lick some boots. Don't shove your misguided ideas, and in some cases rage, on everyone. It's just so weak to prance around, being a pesky illiterate bubble-head, asking simpleton questions, "Do you read Palin's book, do you? WELL DO YOU?" All over a political gossip-laden My Pet Goat book.Go put a sock on it porky, Sonja Schmuck.
Excellent Interviews - really highlights just how much the LEFT doesn't know before they VOTE. Next time people, READ something about the Canidates - start with their RECORDS, ummmkay?
Women hate her because they could never reach the levels that she has since she has entered the world of politics have a great family a great husband a gorgeous look from head to toe and one of the only women I have ever known that could run a state take on the "Good Ole' Boys Network in her state remove them from office and clean things up in less then 2 years with approval ratings higher then anyone elected in her first term year men don't like her cause they can't have her she is "2012 Ready"
Not to mention how many goveners walk to work in order to save the state money unlike other who have private drivers and how many women not just in government but in this country that can enjoy a job as hard as hers and come home and be able to cook and tend to her family democrat women can hardly get their kids to school and then to soccer practice without whining and overwhelmed? How many marriages last like that?
This reminds me of Andrew Klavan's "Shut Up" video. You disagree with me? Racist! Homophobe! Islamophobe! Yeah, we've seen what fear of Islamophobia does. We've seen what shutting people up about danger does.
America isn't afraid of Palin, America is ashamed of Palin, Conservatives are not so desperate as to back someone who is not qualified. I thought that is what we were complaining about with President Obama. If we push for a political figure who has is not experienced, not qualified and merely likable simply because she is on our side than we are hypocrites. America is waiting for a real conservative leader.
As a Conservative, I cannot disagree with you more. You believe the media too much. America isn't afraid of her (they shouldn't be). The American LEFT is terrified of her. Only an ignorant fool could not see the propaganda machine working overtime on the LEFT in a focused smear campaign that echoes the treatment of Ronald Reagan prior to his election.
I don't wish to be unkind, but that response was incorrect. First, it presupposes that the Liberals are not Americans, which they are despite how they disagree or are dissimilar from us. Second, It attacks from Ethos, as many irrational Forum comments do,
To argue that someone who disagrees with you is brainwashed is offensive. Sarah Palin is not qualified. So it doesn't matter if the liberals are trying to paint her as such. They aren't wrong about that. They are wrong about policy.
You still believe the media too much, and I'm afraid that YOU are arguing from ETHOS not I. Let's try to analyze what you've said: Sarah Palin is not qualified?
O' rly? What is the Constitutional qualifications for being President of the United States that she fails to meet? (To save the time of any readers of this exchange, she meets ALL qualifications as laid out by the Founders.)
So, essentially, your statement that she's not qualified is a purely subjective statement. Agree?
Are you locked into this strange thinking? Why do you feel it is logical to assume that when people disagree with you its because they "believe the media" or that they have "been brainwashed." There are facts, and there are opinions, there is news and there is spin. There is no massive liberal conspiracy to attack Sarah Palin. She's just unqualified. You quote the constitutional requirements? Really? We aren't looking for someone who just fits the bare minimum?
First, you are judging Palin based on what? How the laughably TERRIBLE McCain campaign handled her? She was an ace in the sleeves, but it was their idiotic campaign management that allowed the 'mainstream' media define her, instead of allowing her to define herself.
What's more important to you, Sairin? That she has "experience" or that her values are sound? Obama is obviously inexperienced, but he won based on his 'values' and Bush's unpopularity.
We are looking for someone who is exceptional! Someone who is intelligent, dynamic, someone who can reform Washington. We want a real conservative leader, not some sideshow. We can't just defend her because she's a strong personality, that's what liberals do! If she's not qualified we should say so! She's not the last Republican on Earth. We can find someone who shares our values AND is exceptional. We're not just going to sit in a corner and whine about media bias. I'm not settling for that.
Who determines who is "exceptional"? You? Seriously, have you even bothered to actually watch the interviews with Palin that weren't ambushes? You honestly are putting that much faith in Katie "The Leftist" Couric that you're ready to dismiss one of the most dynamic personalities to be seen in the Republican Party since Reagan? The things you are saying about Palin now were once said about Reagan...
The fact is, of those people that voted for Obama, including the 'oh so well-informed independents' (LMAO, they are self deluded, narcissistic clowns), a vast majority of them were totally ignorant of what the man they were voting for actually stood for. Many thought that a comedic sketch was an actual representation of Palin, and none even paid attention to the Gaff-Matic Joe Biden had said or done.
Of course, the same media that assaulted Palin tirelessly ignored Biden totally.
I don't believe this! I have yet to hear anyone argue qualifications. All I hear about is ambushes, political machines, media machines. The Mccain campaign screwed up, this went wrong, that went wrong, Is there any moment where people are not making excuses for this woman. Why are we making excuses for this women? Why didn't she define herself, or defend herself? I would rather have someone who defended our values than someone who just "shared" them. She's a political lightweight.
@Sairin13 Damn straight! We keep hearing from people talking like she's the second coming of Reagan, When she's really a folksy cartoon.She complains all the time! and her supporters complain all the time! Why should we make excuses for her. I can't follow someone that I have to make constant excuses for just to defend. That's what I argued when Clinton was in control! She's not even in office anymore, I know why the dems are still chasing her, but why are we? Cause she smiles pretty?
No I don't support Ron Paul, you dopey little elephant pile! You've been brainwashed that's all, You think that because there's a liberal bias, all you have to do is listen to all of the liberal media, and believe the opposite of whatever they say. So when Palin was shown as being an idiot, OF Course!! you run to support her. Doesn't matter that she has no experience, no knowledge of politics and no clue about defense. You don't care, the left hate her so you love her, that's logic right there.
I know what your problem is... you're a misogynist, aren't you? That or you are so fundamentally naive that you actually voted for Ron Paul. LMAO. Yeah, we're screwed... With conservatives like you around that don't understand how the game is played and can't recognize a quality candidate when we see one, we'll never have our country back...
You're insane, you don't care about republican values. You just care about election drama. You don't defend this woman because you think she's qualified, you just defend her because the left hate her. "How the game is played"?! You use personalities to determine who you approve of. You think if someone doesn't like your political doll, then they must hate all women, or they must have voted for someone insane. You don't care who runs the country, you only care who wins us elections.
Oh, I get it, you don't care about republican values, you don't care about election strategy, you don't care about experience, you don't care about people being qualified to govern after they win, you don't care about progressing republican conservative ideals, you just like people who are flashy, and cry like liberals, and make excuses all the time about why they can't answer simple questions. and you argue "Founder's Intent," Like the Liberal ACLU, go join a tea party you wacko.
People like you say they're against the Democrats, and then you turn around and try to use their tactics to try to get a cheerleader in a high profile position. The problem is that you people don't know what you believe in. You say you're for the republicans and conservatives, but you have no clue what the party's platform is. So fine, go ahead, put Palin the moron on the ticket. Go ahead, because what the country really needs is for that airhead to lose us another election. Stupid Tea Drinkers.
If she runs the country into the ground it doesn't matter that she had an R on her lapel. Mccain only picked her as his running mate because he was scared of losing the republican base, and he knew that you extremist idiots don't know how to tell when someone is unqualified. All you care about is that she can smile and wave at the same time. Do you honestly think if she gets any office in the land that she will be able to progress conservative values? No, she'll be torn apart by the liberals.
That's assuming this cheerleader can even manage to stay in office, without quitting after the first mile.She's not our best chance to take the country back, She's our worst chance. The liberals hate her and the moderates all know she's an idiot. There's not enough folksy charm in all of the world to convince America that she should win. If we're going to run someone that the liberals hate who has no chance of winning lets run Ann Coulter, at least she doesn't whine about being ambushed.
As for listening to her, I followed the whole campaign, What, were there secret press conferences where she didn't sound like a total screw-up and we just never heard about them? No, Let me guess, the evil John Mccain felt threatened by how eloquent her responses were and locked those tapes away. No, let me guess, there were secret Palin Policy memos that just didn't make the light of day, because kinkos is a liberal copying place and they're scared of freedom.
How about this excuse, she couldn't answer the questions because the lights were in her eyes, and she was feeling sad that day, and her coffee was never prepared the right way. She was flustered because, when she was asked what newspapers she read, she didn't even have the presence of mind to pick any newspaper. The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Onion even! There was literally no wrong answer and yet she found a way to screw it up. and she's supposed to lead.
Your problem is that you think that having a conservative in office will magically progress conservative ideals, just like those liberals think that having Obama in office will magically make things better. You don't care about qualifications, you can't, because you certainly haven't mentioned any so far, in fact, you argued that it was more important that her "values were sound" then that she was experienced. We should look for someone whose values are sound AND who has a brain. They exist.
It really has to do with the low level of education (thanks Liberal Teacher Unions!) of the American public. They have been taught to believe anything the media says about anything. Little do most Americans know, but the First Amendment doesn't require the Press to be honest. The "press" has no obligation nor inclination to be "honest" about anything.
EVERYTHING we read or see is colored propaganda. The LEFT is filled with followers.
Er... Slander and Libel is not protected free speech. The media can be deceitful and inflammatory and that's perfectly legal but they simply cannot lie without legal consequence.
Holy Strawman, liberal! Yes, they can lie and totally without legal consequences. Why are you under the impression that there are laws against being dishonest? Yes, there are laws against libel, slander, and fraud... but if the news starts reporting tomorrow that the sky is actually green... no matter how blue it remains, you are suggesting that there are laws preventing that?
And yet the government hasn't stepped in ... yet. You're for the Fairness Doctrine, though, aren't you? You are not even the tiniest bit afraid of it, are you?
I can't really say I'm for or against the fairness doctrine because of the way that laws mandating media coverage can often be politicized by the FCC whether it is in Democratic or Republican control.
However, I do find it hilarious how diehard Republicans will claim that the media has a "Liberal bias" and endlessly complain about media coverage, but whenever there's a mandate to cover both sides of the issue equally...
The fact that you can't see the bias that is so obvious on the major news networks, CNN, and NPR only goes to show how much of a Marxist you are. If a news network never offends you... do you think it might just be, because they are leaning in your direction?
I only use print media, and I doubt you even know what a Marxist is seeing that both CNN and to a lesser extent NPR uses commercial sponsors which is diametrically opposed to the principles of Marxism.
You have no idea what you're talking about, and the fact that you're defending a dolt like Palin instead of supporting true and knowledgeable conservatives, ones who know what hamas is, only emphasizes my point. You're a radical and too obtuse to notice it.
LOL You're scrambling. I know what a Marxist is, as well as how they operate, Marxist. These are not idealists. They propagate the leftist system. You're not familiar with Khrushchev, are you? You lefties never are much interested in history nor economic theories.
You seem to misunderstand that Socialism was ALWAYS intended to be the stepping stone toward Communism, but no government in history has ever (nor will ever) make the final leap. And Marx was a hypocrite.
The only thing remotely correct in your entire response is the little tidbit about Socialism being a step towards Communism in a Marxist model, everything else was simply pussyfooting around my response.
Because I read the New York Times and not an outlet run by former media consultant for Reagan, Nixon, and George Senior, I'm a Marxist? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
You read the "New York Times"? See, you are again making the laughable mistake made by all of your leftist ilk. You blur the lines between opinion and pure journalism (LMAO! "Pure" indeed...). While you criticize Fox for having largely conservative punditry, you give NPR, CNN, MSNBC and the major networks a pass for their glaring bias in their journalism departments. Yes, they have demonstrated definitive bias, but you choose to ignore it, because it is inconvenient for you.
There's really no point arguing with someone as dense as you. You ignore all criticism of Palin and focus on news outlets whose biases almost always boil down to perception, while ending each statement with a gross and inaccurate generalization about the left.
I still have yet to hear anything about Palin's shortcomings in (common) knowledge about foreign policy. Instead, all I hear is a child pointing the finger at the "big bad New York Times" while ignoring the issue at hand.
What criticisms? That she doesn't have a lot of foreign policy experience? LMAO! Who does before becoming the president, dirtbag? Did George Washington have a lot of foreign policy experience? Did Clinton have lots of foreign policy experience as the governor of Arkansas? You are a douchebag. :) Please, by all means, stop arguing with me. Your idiocy wastes my time.
She didn't know who Hamas is, that is something that practically everyone who pays attention to (real) news knows. There's inexperience (Obama) and then there's absolute stupidity (Palin).
You simply cannot argue your point so you resort to childish insults, I understand. Goodbye.
Aaah, you exhibit your typical liberal insanity. See, you have this problem with being honest. This was Couric's actual question: "What happens if the goal of democracy doesn't produce the desired outcome?"
Palin answered her question: "Yeah, well especially in that region, though, we have to protect those who do seek democracy and support those who seek protections for the people who live there."
Now, douchebags like you assume "LULZ! She didn't know who Hamas was!" However, you idiots tend to forget that the question wasn't specifically ABOUT Hamas. It was about democracy in the region. Specifically, the Bush Doctrine includes, as Palin correctly stated, the institution of democratic values in 'that region'. You libtards (and some ignorant ass Conservatives) fail to understand that Palin answered the question asked and then related it back to Israel...
Oh, you're not talking about the Couric "ambush", douchebag? Which interview are you talking about, libtard? Come on Forest, run for me. Go ahead and reference the interview you're referencing?
It was a print interview I remember reading at the time of the election. I'm not a psychopath who marks every article on a particular issue I'm interested in, so no I can't cite it, sue me.
So, faux intellectual douchebag, the best you have is 'I read it once, trust me!' So, what you're basically saying is that you are basing your assertion on a piece of evidence that you cannot present and refuse to present in this debate. Unfortunately, since I'm a conservative and you're a liberal, only I'm obligated to present evidence. Is that what you are saying, douchebag libtard?
Oh, ho ho ho. So, you libtarded, unethical, dishonest SNAKE, you never asserted that there was no media bias? Well, allow me to remind you, dirtbag...
"I do find it hilarious how diehard Republicans will claim that the media has a 'Liberal bias'." - strylowskia90, 12/11/09
You made that statement less than 24 hours ago, yet you forgot it. And you have the NERVE to criticize Palin based on a strawman!? You. Are. A. Douchebag.
Er, no. This is not a game, set, match situation by any means.
You've taken that out of context. I said that Palin Republicans use that as crutch to dismiss her shortcomings. Either way, the interview you were speaking of would've perfectly demonstrated my point as well. I just watched it and Palin did not know what she was talking about, so she issued a blanket statement about protecting our allies. As usual your response is all talk and no substance.
It's clear that she dodged the question and instead used a safety response. Couric asked Palin, I'm paraphrasing here, "What if US efforts do not result in a desirable outcome?" So how does Palin respond? She goes off on a little speech about protecting those who seek freedom and Ahmadinejad's hate for Israel.
LMAO! Of course a libtard would say that she didn't answer the question when the question was ABOUT democracy in the region! How DARE she talk about democracy in the region when the statement AFTER the question about democracy in the region was about HAMAS!
LMAO. So, you didn't like her answer, so she's an idiot? Basically, let me paraphrase her for you: Failure is not an option. That simple enough for you, libtard?
Oh, and, yes, the 'print media'. I'm sure they are so perfectly free of bias. Once again, Marxist, if you are NEVER offended by your source of news, then could it possibly be, because they are possibly, maybe just a teensy weensy slanted to your side of things? Maybe that's why FOX News and Rush Limbaugh tick you off so much...
I never said I was free of complaints from my source of news, far from it, but yet again you use the favored tactic of the Palin Republican, distraction via the irrelevant.
News, pure news, can rarely be distorted as it is with the case of the New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal etc..., but Fox News defies that convention by bringing on the first pundit they can find at the moment news breaks to offer his or her biased opinion on a story that hasn't been fully examined...
You, sir, are a douchebag to even try to assert that "pure news" (LMAO) can "rarely be distorted". Either you are hopelessly naive (which is a common state among leftists) or you are just stupid beyond belief (which is also a common state among leftists). Case in point, lefty, pre-election, last year, there were anywhere from 20+ stories a day about Iraq violence. Post election? 10 stories a week, maybe? Why the change in coverage? Could it be... POLITICAL BIAS? Lefties...
... that's bias. Then we move on to the opinions section of Fox News's Broadcast Lineup which is unanimously right leaning, and compare it to The New York Times Opinion Section only to find that accompanying liberal opinions, there are articles from the Neo-Conservative editor of the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol and other conservative voices. You're comparing apples and oranges here, and you still can't defend or you fail to acknowledge Palin's ignorance on a major group like Hamas.
... the radicals fall in line with their favorite figureheads on television and claim that it's limiting the Republicans freedom of speech. I believe that's called a Freudian slip.
You want my honest answer, why not Condi Rice for republican rep???
Palin is not as dumb as dumb as made out. She has a degree and she was indeed responsible for billions of dollars.
She was terrible in foreign policy debates.
I don't remember if there were specific policies I disliked but why not Condi. Give me a good reason she wouldn't be a better president. Or somebody else. Is she the best they have? No.
I lkie Condi too, but as for you comment about "She was terrible in foreign policy debates" she only knew she was selected two weeks prior to you knowing.
You misspelled Idiocracy. We can do better than Palin. You'll see, when the liberals try to reelect Obama, there will be a real conservative leader to challenge him. Not this joke woman.
those fools she asked were typical obama liberal uneducated american dumbasses. this country is going to get what it deserves. they are worse than satan lovers. god save this country. it's full of morons.
The same can be said about white people as well. If you ask any Palin supporter about her policies, they would not have a clue except that she can see Russia from Alaska. Go figure.
o Israel has killed Americans (eg. Sailors on USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, etc...)
o Israel spies on this country (eg. Pollard, Kadish, AIPAC, etc...)
o Israel bought our politicians with our taxes.
o Israel steals our taxes, hence their higher income.
o Israel uses our country as their toilet.

Sonja Schmidt.....Great Job. Gonna keep my eye out for more of your work. And as a side note, I respectfully have to tell you that you are Frickin' Hotttttttt! Again, with all respect.
You are documenting your stupidity right here on youtube. A little hint for you, The news on SNL is not the real news. Tina Faye is not the real Palin. and Obama is not the real messiah. Hope that clears a few things up for you.
Palin needs to start her campaign now. She needs to be on the news everyday like Obama. Wow imagine the ratings then!! nudge CNN,MSNBC,CBS,NBC,ABC. Great interview. AMAZING how people just hate this lady(leftists)
@goodrichardsalmanac dude exactly. "you ever grow upmin a a ghetto"? No, you know why, because my mother did, and she didnt want me to. Thats why me and you arent sitting on a step in the park
I was waiting for the liberal to go off about anyone who didn't vote for Messiah Obama is obviously a racist, and then stop in mid-sentence when he realizes you're black.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If that's her intention why does she give credit and praise to those same clueless people that agree with her unquestioning adoration for this still lingering infinitely more clueless national embarrassment?
You can see the host/reporter clearly dismiss, condescend and edit people who don't agree with her like some bad MTV reality show, that's what isn't fair.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This video is really strange, it's biased past the point of absurdity. The host is really bad at reporting, why interview someone who admits they don't know anything about politics then use there answers against them. The host can't seem to hide her utter disgust for people with a different view. I really don't get why people are in to Sarah Palin. Is her well documented immense stupidity supposed to be endearing?
The irony of this post has reached godlike proportions. I wonder why it is that the people who condemn Palin as stupid also happen to be the most ignorant motherfuckers. I wouldn't be surprised if my shower curtain could offer up a more rational analysis.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't understand, are you suggesting that it's not well documented? because there are dozens of videos on youtube, just listen to her talk...anywhere at anytime. I'm not condemning Palin as stupid, it's a fact that she's stupid you just have to deal with it. I take it you consider africa a continent and not a country and know who Hamas are? what about this healthcare bill do you believe (like Palin) that it includes 'death panels' to kill old people?
Firstly, the fact that Palin said it's possible to see Russia from Alaska doesn't make it less retarded. She claims this to be some sort of foreign policy experience. dumb
Secondly Advance Care planning has nothing to do with Euthanasia or assisted suicide. It's just not true.
Counseling senior citizens on getting older and the end of life is not 'guiding you in death' you idiot. Counseling is part of every civilized health care system in the world, systems infinitely better than the U.S
Wrong. When she made that statement she was referring to the importance of Alaska to our national security as people tried to marginalize her state because it is so far out there, it is no less vital than Texas or any other border state, north or south.
End of life issues should be reserved to decisions about resuscitation, organ donation and what decisions you want made if you are in a vegetative state. Docs shouldn't get paid to encourage suicide.
No. She clearly linked seeing Russia from Alaska as some sort of foreign policy experience. Watch the whole interview.
Your second point is exactly what I was talking about, Resucitation, organ donation and decisions of what to do if you are in a vegetative state. That is what many healthcare systems have. There is absolutely no encouragement for doctors to suggest suicide in the bill. Palin was either lying and trying to scare people or stupid. which one is better?
The "death panels" aren't end of life counseling, exclusively. And it's not about doctors getting paid to encourage suicide. It's about a group of bureaucrats (say, like a National Rationing Body) deciding what level of care a person receives based on their usefulness to society. Which is exactly what Palin included her son Trig in the Facebook post that started this thing before her words were, once again, twisted to mean "end of life counseling".
'based on their usefulness to society' is a complete fabrication. Words are not being merely 'twisted' on either side, but rather whole passages and phrases are being plucked from thin air. The British healthcare system isn't perfect but bureaucrats or politicians are not standing in the way of doctors and patients. In America however right now you have real 'death panels'. If you don't have enough money you can't get care. Greedy bastards choose who lives and who dies everyday. U.S.A U.S.A!!!
I guess you're unfamiliar with the "Complete Lives System". And yes, the rationing body is standing in the way of doctors and patients when they are deciding, for example, that women cannot receive certain cancer treatments because they're deemed too expensive. When you have a finite amount of resources decisions must be made about who is going to receive those resources. Only a fool, or those who think they can change reality by hoping, doesn't understand that.
Are you refering to the recent story in england about some women not recieving certain cancer treatments because the new drugs are too expensive. If you are I totally accept this type of argument. however as technology advances some very new treatments are going to be too expensive for any system. Every system doesn't have infinite resources no matter where you are in the world. as an american unless you were very very rich you wouldn't be covered for the same treatment.
It definitely is a bleak reality but if you are one of millions in the same average income bracket as me, would you rather have the unelected private sector who make billions a year in profit decide what treatment you can have or have it paid for by the state who are accountable not trying to make a profit out of refusing care and not as reliant on the chaos of the free market?
Yes, but capitalism and free markets are much more efficient than a bloated government program. The same amount of money will purchase less health care if it is a politician or buerocrat doling out the dollars instead of a company who needs to stay in business.
If a business fails, its resources are liquidated and someone else gives it a shot, if Gov't fails, we shovel more money at the problems and continue to see dimishing returns on our dollars
I can see your position but you're not looking at the facts. how is the free market more efficient? what do you mean by bloated? The doctors will be the same, the hospitals will be the same. You must admit that the u.s spends the most money out of every country on health care and the results are ridiculous. (37th in the world according to the WHO)
the private sector has no business in caring for the people/votes. businesses are naturally greedy, that's a fact can and do fail especially now.

Anybody who said they liked sarah's book before they read it is just as wrong as anybody who said they didnt like it before they read it. A book that hasnt been out yet but has copies sold only means people are interested in the book. It doesnt mean they like it. They may feel ripped off after reading it. Sonja ofcourse doesnt narrate in such a way to let you know how stupid people are for liking a book they havent read yet.

I think many Americans DID fear her, because she came across as an uninformed candidate in key mainstream interviews during the election. I would've thought this was obvious.
She had a bestselling book because she is well known, she is well known because, putting it politely, she 'stuck out' as a candidate, in a globally significant election.
I would think that fame/notoriety was a more likely reason for her book to be a bestseller, rather then, say, everybody agreeing with her political views.

@roryphelan I love the Palin issue! before her who even looks twice at VP picks? I have never felt differently about a presidential candidate based on their vp pick.
Joe Biden? thats the best Obama could get? the guy sticks his foot in his mouth a couple times so they take him out of the public eye and somehow hes the "informed" VP pick?
I dislike the idea of Palin as president, VP though who cares? Cheney was hated and he was VP for two terms, how great was Al Gore?

@Shargrailar Who cares if Palin is VP??!! Hello?! If that cranky old man McCain won we would all be dead by now! He would have had a stroke and/or heart attack with all the shit Bush left behind to clean up so then what would that mean?? Yup. Palin would be president. But of course by now she would have caused WW3 and we would all be dead and I would not be able to write this

After a lifetime as a Dem/Lib I was getting fed up, seeing too much the didn't square up. Palin's treatment was the last straw, and I voted Republican for the first time ever. Glad I did now.

America isn't afraid of Palin, America is ashamed of Palin, Conservatives are not so desperate as to back someone who is not qualified.

America is waiting for a real conservative leader.

As a Conservative, I cannot disagree with you more. You believe the media too much. America isn't afraid of her (they shouldn't be). The American LEFT is terrified of her.

diskpanic 2 years ago
I don't wish to be unkind, but that response was incorrect. First, it presupposes that the Liberals are not Americans, which they are despite how they disagree or are dissimilar from us. Second, It attacks from Ethos, as many irrational Forum comments do,
To argue that someone who disagrees with you is brainwashed is offensive. Sarah Palin is not qualified. So it doesn't matter if the liberals are trying to paint her as such. They aren't wrong about that. They are wrong about policy.
Sairin13 2 years ago
@Sairin13
You still believe the media too much, and I'm afraid that YOU are arguing from ETHOS not I. Let's try to analyze what you've said: Sarah Palin is not qualified?
O' rly? What is the Constitutional qualifications for being President of the United States that she fails to meet? (To save the time of any readers of this exchange, she meets ALL qualifications as laid out by the Founders.)
So, essentially, your statement that she's not qualified is a purely subjective statement. Agree?
diskpanic 2 years ago
Are you locked into this strange thinking? Why do you feel it is logical to assume that when people disagree with you its because they "believe the media" or that they have "been brainwashed." There are facts, and there are opinions, there is news and there is spin. There is no massive liberal conspiracy to attack Sarah Palin. She's just unqualified. You quote the constitutional requirements? Really? We aren't looking for someone who just fits the bare minimum?
Sairin13 2 years ago
@Sairin13
First, you are judging Palin based on what? How the laughably TERRIBLE McCain campaign handled her? She was an ace in the sleeves, but it was their idiotic campaign management that allowed the 'mainstream' media define her, instead of allowing her to define herself.
What's more important to you, Sairin? That she has "experience" or that her values are sound? Obama is obviously inexperienced, but he won based on his 'values' and Bush's unpopularity.
diskpanic 2 years ago
We are looking for someone who is exceptional! Someone who is intelligent, dynamic, someone who can reform Washington. We want a real conservative leader, not some sideshow. We can't just defend her because she's a strong personality, that's what liberals do! If she's not qualified we should say so! She's not the last Republican on Earth. We can find someone who shares our values AND is exceptional. We're not just going to sit in a corner and whine about media bias. I'm not settling for that.

The fact is, of those people that voted for Obama, including the 'oh so well-informed independents' (LMAO, they are self deluded, narcissistic clowns), a vast majority of them were totally ignorant of what the man they were voting for actually stood for. Many thought that a comedic sketch was an actual representation of Palin, and none even paid attention to the Gaff-Matic Joe Biden had said or done.
Of course, the same media that assaulted Palin tirelessly ignored Biden totally.

If she runs the country into the ground it doesn't matter that she had an R on her lapel.

All you care about is that she can smile and wave at the same time. Do you honestly think if she gets any office in the land that she will be able to progress conservative values? No, she'll be torn apart by the liberals.

That's assuming this cheerleader can even manage to stay in office, without quitting after the first mile.She's not our best chance to take the country back, She's our worst chance.

If we're going to run someone that the liberals hate who has no chance of winning lets run Ann Coulter, at least she doesn't whine about being ambushed.
Sairin13 2 years ago
As for listening to her, I followed the whole campaign, What, were there secret press conferences where she didn't sound like a total screw-up and we just never heard about them? No, Let me guess, the evil John Mccain felt threatened by how eloquent her responses were and locked those tapes away. No, let me guess, there were secret Palin Policy memos that just didn't make the light of day, because kinkos is a liberal copying place and they're scared of freedom.
What excuse for her comes next.
Sairin13 2 years ago
How about this excuse, she couldn't answer the questions because the lights were in her eyes, and she was feeling sad that day, and her coffee was never prepared the right way. She was flustered because, when she was asked what newspapers she read, she didn't even have the presence of mind to pick any newspaper. The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Onion even! There was literally no wrong answer and yet she found a way to screw it up. and she's supposed to lead.
Sairin13 2 years ago
Your problem is that you think that having a conservative in office will magically progress conservative ideals, just like those liberals think that having Obama in office will magically make things better. You don't care about qualifications, you can't, because you certainly haven't mentioned any so far, in fact, you argued that it was more important that her "values were sound" then that she was experienced. We should look for someone whose values are sound AND who has a brain. They exist.

News, pure news, can rarely be distorted as it is with the case of the New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal etc..., but Fox News defies that convention by bringing on the first pundit they can find at the moment news breaks to offer his or her biased opinion on a story that hasn't been fully examined...

You, sir, are a douchebag to even try to assert that "pure news" (LMAO) can "rarely be distorted".

Case in point, lefty, pre-election, last year, there were anywhere from 20+ stories a day about Iraq violence. Post election? 10 stories a week, maybe? Why the change in coverage? Could it be... POLITICAL BIAS? Lefties...

Then we move on to the opinions section of Fox News's Broadcast Lineup which is unanimously right leaning, and compare it to The New York Times Opinion Section only to find that accompanying liberal opinions, there are articles from the Neo-Conservative editor of the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol and other conservative voices.

You misspelled Idiocracy. We can do better than Palin. You'll see, when the liberals try to reelect Obama, there will be a real conservative leader to challenge him. Not this joke woman.

its sad to say, that if you ask any black person, they support obama, but if you ask about his policies, they have no idea about them.
im not racist. but like the bumper sticker says
"i'll keep my money freedom and guns, you can keep the 'change'."
like they all say, palin is stupid because she is black, " all those black people were born out of wedlock.
i am American, and im starting to regret it.

The same can be said about white people as well. If you ask any Palin supporter about her policies, they would not have a clue except that she can see Russia from Alaska. Go figure.

You are documenting your stupidity right here on youtube. A little hint for you, The news on SNL is not the real news. Tina Faye is not the real Palin. and Obama is not the real messiah. Hope that clears a few things up for you.

One the lib idiots says "put yourself in Obama's shoes" then immediately follows it up with "you can't. He's black."
Nice. Great. Set up your own premise then destroy it. I'll tell you what. I'll just be quiet and you can argue with yourself. Go.

If that's her intention why does she give credit and praise to those same clueless people that agree with her unquestioning adoration for this still lingering infinitely more clueless national embarrassment?
You can see the host/reporter clearly dismiss, condescend and edit people who don't agree with her like some bad MTV reality show, that's what isn't fair.

This video is really strange, it's biased past the point of absurdity. The host is really bad at reporting, why interview someone who admits they don't know anything about politics then use there answers against them. The host can't seem to hide her utter disgust for people with a different view. I really don't get why people are in to Sarah Palin. Is her well documented immense stupidity supposed to be endearing?
frostiestastegreat 2 years ago
"well documented immense stupidity.."
The irony of this post has reached godlike proportions. I wonder why it is that the people who condemn Palin as stupid also happen to be the most ignorant motherfuckers. I wouldn't be surprised if my shower curtain could offer up a more rational analysis.

I don't understand, are you suggesting that it's not well documented? because there are dozens of videos on youtube, just listen to her talk...anywhere at anytime. I'm not condemning Palin as stupid, it's a fact that she's stupid you just have to deal with it. I take it you consider africa a continent and not a country and know who Hamas are? what about this healthcare bill do you believe (like Palin) that it includes 'death panels' to kill old people?
Can you see Russia from your house too?

Tina Fey said that she can see Russia from her house, not Palin. Palin said that there are points in Alaska that can see Russia. Which is true.
VonHOG 2 years ago
These Death Panels, which were up until recently included in the Health Bill.
Page 425: Advance Care Planning: Counseling for Senior Citizens, assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Page 425: Government provides approved list of end-of-life resources, guiding you in death.
There you go.
VonHOG 2 years ago 2
Firstly, the fact that Palin said it's possible to see Russia from Alaska doesn't make it less retarded. She claims this to be some sort of foreign policy experience. dumb
Secondly Advance Care planning has nothing to do with Euthanasia or assisted suicide. It's just not true.
Counseling senior citizens on getting older and the end of life is not 'guiding you in death' you idiot. Counseling is part of every civilized health care system in the world, systems infinitely better than the U.S
frostiestastegreat 2 years ago
Wrong. When she made that statement she was referring to the importance of Alaska to our national security as people tried to marginalize her state because it is so far out there, it is no less vital than Texas or any other border state, north or south.
End of life issues should be reserved to decisions about resuscitation, organ donation and what decisions you want made if you are in a vegetative state. Docs shouldn't get paid to encourage suicide.
anfiach 2 years ago
No. She clearly linked seeing Russia from Alaska as some sort of foreign policy experience. Watch the whole interview.
Your second point is exactly what I was talking about, Resucitation, organ donation and decisions of what to do if you are in a vegetative state. That is what many healthcare systems have. There is absolutely no encouragement for doctors to suggest suicide in the bill. Palin was either lying and trying to scare people or stupid. which one is better?
frostiestastegreat 2 years ago
Perhaps YOU should watch the interview.
anfiach 2 years ago
The "death panels" aren't end of life counseling, exclusively. And it's not about doctors getting paid to encourage suicide. It's about a group of bureaucrats (say, like a National Rationing Body) deciding what level of care a person receives based on their usefulness to society. Which is exactly what Palin included her son Trig in the Facebook post that started this thing before her words were, once again, twisted to mean "end of life counseling".
Anakha13 2 years ago
'based on their usefulness to society' is a complete fabrication. Words are not being merely 'twisted' on either side, but rather whole passages and phrases are being plucked from thin air. The British healthcare system isn't perfect but bureaucrats or politicians are not standing in the way of doctors and patients. In America however right now you have real 'death panels'. If you don't have enough money you can't get care. Greedy bastards choose who lives and who dies everyday. U.S.A U.S.A!!!
frostiestastegreat 2 years ago
I guess you're unfamiliar with the "Complete Lives System". And yes, the rationing body is standing in the way of doctors and patients when they are deciding, for example, that women cannot receive certain cancer treatments because they're deemed too expensive. When you have a finite amount of resources decisions must be made about who is going to receive those resources. Only a fool, or those who think they can change reality by hoping, doesn't understand that.
Anakha13 2 years ago
Are you refering to the recent story in england about some women not recieving certain cancer treatments because the new drugs are too expensive. If you are I totally accept this type of argument. however as technology advances some very new treatments are going to be too expensive for any system. Every system doesn't have infinite resources no matter where you are in the world. as an american unless you were very very rich you wouldn't be covered for the same treatment.
frostiestastegreat 2 years ago
It definitely is a bleak reality but if you are one of millions in the same average income bracket as me, would you rather have the unelected private sector who make billions a year in profit decide what treatment you can have or have it paid for by the state who are accountable not trying to make a profit out of refusing care and not as reliant on the chaos of the free market?
I know which one I would consider a 'Death Panel'
frostiestastegreat 2 years ago
Yes, but capitalism and free markets are much more efficient than a bloated government program. The same amount of money will purchase less health care if it is a politician or buerocrat doling out the dollars instead of a company who needs to stay in business.
If a business fails, its resources are liquidated and someone else gives it a shot, if Gov't fails, we shovel more money at the problems and continue to see dimishing returns on our dollars
jdmac4 2 years ago
I can see your position but you're not looking at the facts. how is the free market more efficient? what do you mean by bloated? The doctors will be the same, the hospitals will be the same. You must admit that the u.s spends the most money out of every country on health care and the results are ridiculous. (37th in the world according to the WHO)
the private sector has no business in caring for the people/votes. businesses are naturally greedy, that's a fact can and do fail especially now.
