Palin bans reporters from meetings with leaders, just like a republican

[DarrinS]

You care enough to post little factoids about him to try to change the subject from Palin.

Obama's running vs. McCain.

Obama's running vs. McCain.

The subject of this thread is Palin. Feel free to leave it if all you are going to do is try to change the subject.

Well, I did post that she's allowing photographers and TV crew, but I guess you people want a frowning Charles Gibson to be upskirting her.

[Shastafarian]

So, she's allowing photographers and a TV crew, but she won't allow some press stooge to sabatoge her during her meetings? Am I understanding it correctly?

how, pray tell, would they "sabotage" her?

[DarrinS]

how, pray tell, would they "sabotage" her?

Well, for starters, they can edit the crap out of any Q&A they have with her. Recent example -- interview with Chucky Gibson.

And "pray tell". Who talks like this?

They don't get interviews. That's the entire reason this was such a huge up. I'm guessing they were afraid the reporters would catch Palin saying something stupid and REPORT it. Take off your moose-colored glasses.

In what respect did they edit the interview, Charlie?

[ChumpDumper]

Well, I did post that she's allowing photographers and TV crew

for 30 seconds

but I guess you people want a frowning Charles Gibson to be upskirting her.

No. Why won't she do more interviews?

[Shastafarian]

And "pray tell". Who talks like this?

Educated people?

[ChumpDumper]

Well, for starters, they can edit the crap out of any Q&A they have with her.

They can do this with any candidate, and yet they continue to do interviews.

Why won't Palin?

[DarrinS]

Why won't Palin?

She'll be debating that guy from Delaware soon enough. Why is it so urgent? Are the bloggers running out of material?

haha just keep backpedaling

[Viva Las Espuelas]

That doesn't answer my question, but another nice attempt at changing the subject. That shows it matters to you.

Why is the McCain campaign afraid of Palin's doing interviews?

i could really care less why her interview count isn't to your liking. i couldn't, but especially you couldn't tell me why that is. that's really the best i can answer that. i supposed you want me to say that she's inexperienced and yes she is. the republican bottom of the tickets equals the democratic top of the ticket. and that's fact. and why does it matter to you that she's not doing interviews? it is vice presidential nominee palin. not presidential palin, and don't give me this heartbeat stuff.

None of these are answers to my question. Just more attempts to change the subject.

You didn't hear about that?

GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?

PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?

PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

You really COULD care less? That means you care moron.

i supposed you want me to say that she's inexperienced and yes she is. the republican bottom of the tickets equals the democratic top of the ticket. and that's fact.

it's actually an opinion

and why does it matter to you that she's not doing interviews? it is vice presidential nominee palin. not presidential palin, and don't give me this heartbeat stuff.

The man survived 4 incidents of cancer. He is 72 years old. A presidential term is 4 years. I would say we might wanna worry he might not make it through his entire term.

What the do you mean by the bolded part?

You guys are so desperate to change the subject, you are losing the ability to put words together.

Because she's the devil.

He has a 1/3 chance of dying. Matt Damon said so.

Wow, that boilerplate full of talking points makes all the difference! What a substantive answer.

BTW, she's talking about using allies to pressure Russia and at the same time says we can't get into another Cold War? WTF did she think the Cold War was?

[ChumpDumper]

Because she's the devil.

Another non-answer.

Don't worry, all this squirming says more than a truthful answer from any of you would.

Thanks.

I can respect that some of you guys are staunch Republicans but I get the feeling that you would defend the selection of a used pair of sneakers for Vice President of the United States as long as it was on the GOP ticket.

Is it too much to say "Yes, I wish our VP nominee was a little bit more out in the open a month and a half before the Election. While VP is not President, it is a very important Executive position and it would be nice to know a little more about who she is and what she believes."

You're so locked in to your "team" that you've abandoned reasonable standards for people who are supposed to be key players in shaping this country's future. Demand better.

i left out a punctuation mark. didn't mean to knock off of kilter

[ChumpDumper]

It's not a matter of my liking. It's a stunningly low amount of interviews for a vice presidential candidate with such a high profile.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

You really COULD care less? That means you care moron.

this would fall in the "i know what you are, but what am i" type of logic

The man survived 4 incidents of cancer. He is 72 years old. A presidential term is 4 years. I would say we might wanna worry he might not make it through his entire term.

it's actually an opinion

i couldn't have said it better myself.
