That's the one on one interview that I was talking about. The whole country needs to see this video. She is so terrible in this interview it's pathetic. She's in a high class job interview that's gone wrong. Is this a woman that's ready to lead the country in the event that something happens to Mccain?

I'm watching CNN right now as a matter of fact and their talking about Palin being very uncomfortable and struggling bad in the questioning. "She may be a good governor, but she's not ready to take on VP" Is what was said.

And just to throw this out there, Sarah Palin tried to make herself look good and lied to the country when she told everyone she sold the Alaska state jet on ebay for a profit. She put it on ebay 3x. #1 it sold but not on ebay #2, they actually lost about $500,000. They eventually just sold it to the highest bidding person.

she was basically saying yeah the whole time, and the dude was being a cock.

It scares the shit out of me to hear someone say we "must not blink" even in reference to who we target in the 'War on Terror.' Even worse is she said we must EXERCISE all options in the war on terror. How about we must weight the evidence and choose the most appropriate option(s)? That's really a bold and frightening statement.

Honestly I've never had a big problem with McCain. I won't support him, but he hasn't seemed like a completely unreasonable guy. Palin on the other hand seems like a black and white world view zealot.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This woman is playing a video game here with the world.

This is a VERY important voting year. For those members on here that are newly eligible, Go out and VOTE in November!!! Know who you are voting for. Don't vote one way because your family and friends vote for that candidate. Do what you think is best for the country.

Onefast99gsx · 09-12-2008

Matt Damon is exactly right. The media just needs to keep doing it's job and make this stuff more well known the the general public! IT's VERY scary to think that she could become president and having those nuclear codes.

**Kracka** · 09-12-2008

Why do politics always focus on why one person WON'T make a good president instead of why someone WILL? The internet is full of links slamming both candidates...who cares?

I totally agree. but when one camp is making a campaign of their biography and not speaking on how they plan on getting us out of this place we are in, or their views on everything, how can we not focus on why they would not be a great president. Its like Matt Damon said, theres a 1 and 3 chance that john mccain will not survive his first term. So we as american people need to focus on both of them. Notice how Biden isnt getting a lot of press or major attacks on him.. its because he has a freakin awesome track record and no one wants to mess with him. At least if Barak were to die in office we know that we would have someone that we could feel confident that would be able to run the office.

I will ask the question then. Why will Palin make a good VP or possible president??

sideways motorsports · 09-12-2008

Just a couple of questions.

What experience does Obama have again? I think we can skip community organizer as being any sort of resume builder for the big chair in DC. And 2 years in the Senate while putting together his own campaign might be a stretch. How is it allowed that voting in the senate includes a "present" option and not just a yea or nea ?

Why will he not answer any questions about some of his friends, collegues etc? And why is he still friends with some of them? Examples. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers and Bernadin Dohrn.

How does Biden's 30+ years in the Senate fit into the "change" campaign?

My favorite is when somebody says you should go out and educate yourself before you vote but then quotes a big news network or bogus poll. First look at who owns the network or media or poll and then check out who they are endorsing.

Oh and for those who look at the polls for any sort of factual data...who is it that is not 10 points behind anylonger?

If the independants get a certain percentage of the votes (4%?) then they will get funding in the next election. Right now none of them get a high enough percentage to do that.

Everyone is screaming about change, yes things in the economy need to change, but change can be either good or bad. Is Obama good change or bad change? That is something you have to decide. The current economy was not caused by the president, it was brought about because we are all cheap asses. We buy the cheapest shit possible and send all of our money to China, India and other poor countries. How can our economy be strong if we send all of our money overseas? It doesn't matter if it was a Democrat or Republican in the oval office, WE caused this. Who helped the most? NAFTA, that was Clinton's doing for you the young ones.

I heavily agree that we need to get out of the 2 party system to bring REAL change about, but it doesn't have the momentum yet to do that. Obama is just SO far left, that he is scary. McCain is pretty far left for a republican, so he is pretty middle of the road. I loved Ron Paul, but it just isn't going to happen this year. The future is looking scary no matter who wins this one.

tpunx99GSX · 09-13-2008

Did any of you catch Real Time tonight?
The republican on there was a complete retard. And Bill Maher really called him out on the point where this Wall Street Journal tried to tell Bill that "No one really knows what the Bush Doctrine is..." Bill then cut him off calling him a Cynic, He was trying to play off the fact that not everyone should know what the bush doctrine is and that hes trying to push votes for the less intelligent and poor people.
I have this main thought about Palin then im probably (maybe) going to stop looking to bash her... (at least until the vice presidential debate).
If a person running for the second highest position in America, Does not know the MAJOR policies that she will need to abide by and know, SHE SHOULD NOT BE UP FOR THE POSITION!!! All of you McCain supporters, How can you sit there and support this woman, I would like to think that the majority of you Currently 15 people know better then to support someone who doesnt know the policies that govern this country.
I will proudly support Obama over McCain, Its better to support someone who is looking for change, Even if he doesnt follow through, it will make America want it more, and getting it in Americas heads is much better then brushing if off and not wanting to change anything. McCain and Palin Support everything that Bush has done, and i cant let that fly. Sorry NO WAY NOT AGAIN.
It pisses me off that America can be so stupid.

Onefast99gsx · 09-13-2008

The bottom line is that this country needs CHANGE. If you like the way the economoy is, the way government is run currently, the things Bush does like starting a war based on false reports, etc.. then vote for McCain. If you're willing to take a chance and vote for a possible change in our future then go with Obama. I was born in '70. I know what the good times were like. Maybe many of you that were born in the mid to late '80's feel like things were always shitty but they weren't. It's gotten so bad that I'm glad i'm not young. In my early years, we didn't have to worry about someone coming into our school and shooting people up. Something is wrong out there.

McCain has voted along with Bush 100% of the time in 2008, 95% in 2007.

There's no guarantees no matter who you vote for. But I like the priorities of Obama vs. McCain.

311evo · 09-13-2008

God this thread is annoying. all the big media is against republicans (obama is more of a celebrity now then a candidate) and a magority the smaller media is rooting for the republicans. phuk it.

A//// Guy · 09-13-2008

Im sick of arguing.

**asshanson** · 09-13-2008

It seems that too many peoples' minds are made up already, what's the point of arguing?

At first I was semi-ok with just McCain, but Palin was the dealbreaker for me.

**v8klla** · 09-13-2008

I found this article pretty informational as I am just now finding time to research the candidates:

http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/...ues/index.html

In regards to my vote it will likely go to Obama. I feel like we need to be done with this war and Palin just makes me uneasy. Even with McCain promising to lower the corporate tax rate, it just isn't enough to overcome my aforementioned concerns.

**Halon** · 09-14-2008

I typically think a little more republican then democrat, but I do not vote based on a party. I vote on who I think the best candidate is. Right now I'm pretty much undecided and can't wait to watch the debates in the future. I am not a guru when it comes to politics, but I personally think the presidential candidates are pretty good this year. On one side we have a very energetic man that seems to be extremely motivated to bring change to this country. On the other hand we have an extremely experienced man whose seen and done a lot for this country. I'm more excited about this election then I have been for any in the past.
