“The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.”

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”

“I’ve now been in 57 states— I think one left to go.”

"Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change."

Wait you can actually see Russia from Alaska? Gee, that was totally what was funny about the statement and not the implications or anything.

Calling someone a child, while totally missing the avoiding the point is super mature.

She reminds me of beauty pageant contestants answering questions about world politics.

Highly insightful.

oh lol, you really want to have this contest? because i would be delighted to.

That's why I say, I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the tax payers looking to bail out, but ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping tho— it's got to be all about job creation too, shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track, so healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as— competitive— scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.


COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?

PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —

COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.

PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.

COURIC: Can you name any of them?

PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where, it's kind of suggested and it seems like, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C. may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska.


And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature's finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In the winter time it's the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn't it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs?


It is as throughout all Alaska that big wild good life teeming along the road that is north to the future.

I didn't really had a good answer, as so often -- is me. But then somebody sent me the other day, Isaiah 49:16, and you need to go home and look it up. Before you look it up, I'll tell you what it says though. It says, hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us. He says, in that passage, 'I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you,' and I'm like, 'Okay, I'm in good company.'


It hadn’t been a matter of he not being able to explain his policy with government take over and mandation of health care



your move

correction. you can see Russia from a very small part of Alaska and not the part of Alaska where Palin lives or claims to have seen Russia from.

At one time Obama supporters were grandstanding her to win the Ms. Universe pageant. Now they're just happy celebrating that she's getting the "Least Ugly" trophy in the "Ugliest Girl in Joliet" contest.

When Obama's sycophants start touting his tete-a-tete credentials against a dumb hooker from Wasilia it probably doesn't matter if he wins or not ... if you take a roll in the pig-pen you're gonna come out muddy.

Of course, though, that's Palin's role. To provoke the rabble and riff-raff into an oink-off between her and Obama for the next 2 years before stepping-aside for some quiet "statesman" to come out of the wings pledging to restore the "dignity" of the presidency. If this thread's any indication, the plan's working. What a circus, American politics. :roll:

I'm not a Palin fan, but it does get tiresome hearing people make false judgments against her. Listen to the one minute clip on the link. There's a reason that the transcript leaves out the quote right before what is listed. Also, the syntax of her statement is listed incorrectly. It's easy to read what they listed and take it out of context and assume that she does not know the difference between NK and SK; when that is not at all the case.
