Coronado, there's a difference between being experienced and being inexperienced.  There's also a difference between being inexperienced and knowing what you're talking about and being inexperienced and not knowing what you're talking about.

That made absolutely no sense.  Saying "the questions didnt make any sense" is a crap excuse, if any other of the candidates, hell, if any senator or representative in the country had been asked the same question they could've come up with a better answer than that.  It's pretty solid evidence she doesn't know jack shit and they've been spoonfeeding her stuff to say to the press.

Her answer didn't make any sense at all but then again neither did the question she was asked.

I imagine she's going to just break down and start crying at some point.
I'm no politician but the question seemed pretty clear to me... Basically why not put the $700,000,000,000 into programs that help middle class families directly rather than giving it to the companies who's careless activities caused the financial crisis in the first place? Palin just panics and goes off into a tangential rant, naming as many important-sounding things as she can think of.

Also, I'm no defender of CNN but to be fair Blitzer does play devil's advocate at the end of that clip and tries to explain what was going on with her answer.
I got an idea because I agree with you Braddock. Let the people of America have the money back and not the big companies.

So lets do this, I get back ALL of my tax dollars that paid, for the past, lets say 5 years, the rich get ALL of their tax dollars back and the poor get ALL of their tax dollars backs. Does this sound fair enough to you?
Sounds a little like the PRSI system of welfare benefit to me lowing i.e. getting back PRSI tax you have paid in the past when you are currently unemployed... are you turning socialist in your old age?

She did a poor job of explaining something.

Almost as bad as clearly saying something that is 180 degrees out from what your running mate says.

You say this as if Obama, the guy running FOR PRESIDENT, isn't getting the same exact treatment. You say this as if Obama speaks based on his vast experience base.

Not really a crap excuse. The question she asked made no sense. It was run-on jiberish.

Most politicians would come up with a better response. Mostly because they never even address the questions they are asked. They simply say what they've practiced over and over in response to such questions. Palin's got some work to do in that area.

Hell no!, but everyone seems to think the 700 billion should go to the people instead of the corporations, I tend to agree, so if money is to be dispersed to the masses, let everyone get back EXACTLY what they put in, including the poor. this should be acceptable to you, but somehow I think it will not be.

After they both admit that they disagree on a lot of things and that's why Biden was picked because he doesn't just repeat what the man on top says....

Did you comprehend anything she said Feos?  Don't make excuses about the opposite party, that is not what this topics about.

This about Palin not knowing what the fuck she's talking about.  We know you're undecided yet voting Republican.  What do you think about what she just said?

Nice little twist in your second paragraph.  lol.  As if my words are set in stone explanations and your words are full on invincible fact.  You are tripping over yourself making excuses for something which was, quite frankly, pretty inexcusable.

The only alternative is if they're doing this intentionally.  They're making her seem as dumb as possible.  That way people will want to have a beer with her.

Sorry, I went and listened to it again and the question did make sense, it was just poorly worded. My apologies.

I'm at least trying to give some debate here, due to the fact that nobody is making an serious response other than the usual political insults. I don't really from my opinion of people on a few poor speeches. What they say they are going to do in office is important, not how they say it.

What?  Did Palin fart in public or something?  Funny the bias on the 57 states or TV back in the day (biden), let's all look the other way but got forbid....  Let's see BAMA or Bido held to the same standards.  They'd crumple like the true bitches they are.

McCainamaniacs are still hanging onto that "57 states" comment?

Guess that explains why they still hang onto that chain letter originated "doesn't hold his hand over his heart for the pledge" too...

I just find it funny how Palin is attacked so much because she is a real threat.


Biden has a COUNTLESS amount of racist, sexist, and just mean videos and if that was Palin, holy shit would her life be over.

Biden goes off of what Obama says but still manages to make sense.

She went from a bail out topic to creating jobs under an umbrella. Clearly she knows what she is talking about.

But I do think she has a brain. Sadly for her she isn't good at lying yet. She simply isn't able to spit out what she is being told to say in a coherent manner.

But yeah its still quite scary.

That is not the topic.

I know you are a reasonable guy, the question you should ask yourself, as a military officer, is: would I like to have that woman as my commander in chief?
