Comments on: The Candidates Assess Each Other

CBS Evening News: McCain And Obama Discuss Their Opponent's Greatest Strength And Weakness

[anya136]

McCain wants to spread the wealth to the rich. The oil companies the CEOs that are earning millions and millions more than they need to be happy.

Is this the america you want?

McCain would be bad on security because he is impetuous and too ideological. He is erratic in a crisis. Too old now Im afraid. And his running mate is insane she doesnt even know what the job of a VP is and she isnt uncorrupted.

These guys are desperate: they almost called Obama a terrorist, called him a socialist and next week will probably call him a UFO.

It doesnt stick. They have run out of ideas, have weak character, have underestimated the american people.

Time for a change.

"She might have a 80% approval ratting but there only like 200,000 people in the whole state.

including these guys ...


"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government", "and I won''t be buried under their d*a*m*n flag."

"I''m an Alaskan, not an American. I''ve got no use for America or her damned institutions."

Jo Vogel, Founder of AIP

Sarah Palin addressed the Alaskan Independence Party Convention a little over 6 months ago, happily telling its attendees that she shared its "vision of upholding the Constitution of our great state", curiously not mentioning the Constitution of the United States. She encouraged AIP to "keep up the good work".

Don''''t forget she ran a state as Gov with an 80 percent approval ratting so just becasue she talks with an accent and got nervous in the Couric interview she is getting better every day and anyone (dems and republicans) who have met her imperson love her.

[palin0808]

McCain keep saying this coutry neds change and that Obama is unexperienced and there fore he has poor judgement.
Does he really believe that by choosing Sara Palin he is putting the country first?
Will the VP candidate be prepared to be president in 2 months?

I love how your question is based on the idea that McCain will die his first day in office. If that happened (god forbid) she would do fine. She probalby wouldn''t be 100 percent ready but who is besides someone who has already been president.

Don''t forget she ran a state as Gov with an 80 percent approval ratting so just becasue she talks with an accent and got nervous in the Couric interview she is getting better every day and anyone (dems and republicans) who have met her imperson love her.

She has only been focused on this for 6 weeks. She is doing great considering

[palin0808]

Ask republicans who claims Sarah Palin is the best VP candidate if they think Sarah Palin is ready to be commander and chief, the president of The United States, if God forbid something happened to McCain? If they do not answer with a simple and clear yes, and after that you keep talking about her, the audience will notice you are just entertaining us with her.



Why McCain couldn''''t articulate to the American him to lead us better than Bush ?

I bet most Dems wouldn''t of thought Obama would be ready two years ago. Palin hasn''t been around long enough to get a grasp of McCain''s policies but she is learning on the job and by the time they get sworn in she would be ready in my oponion.

She wasn''t the best choice in terms of readiness but lets be honest. If Mccain had chosen Rommney or Pelenty he would of been 12 points down after the convention. He needed someone who was young and exciting and new and that doesn''t go well with experience.

If he would of selected someone else you all would find things wrong with them too. I think she was the only choice that gave McCani a chance to win and if it wasn''t for the economy tanking and that Katie Couric interview, I think they might of pulled off!

I thought Libs liked strong women. Turns out they''re just a bunch of girlie boys that are afraid of a little estrogen. Does her appearance threaten you guys? Make you question your sexual preference?

[gettin_angry]

"She is afraid more republicans will vote for Obama if they imagine her being the president."

I guess this explains why she''s available for interviews but Biden is hiding under his bed???

[gettin_angry]

My primary concern for president is not what school they went to, it''s how they think and what their values are. Washington is full of the educated incompetent already. Besides, I find a little ignorance much less destructive than dishonest ambition.

Sarah Palin already found out the duties of a VP, but she still doesn%u2019t want us to even think about that possibility. She is afraid more republicans will vote for Obama if they imagine her being the president.

Why McCain couldn''t articulate to the American people the great plan some republicans claim he has? Why Schwarzenegger, Julianne and other republicans need to explain it for him? Who is running for president? What is happening with Senator McCain, can%u2019t he lead? Can he make us trust him to lead us better than Bush ?

[palin0808]

Look at the way troopergate was reported and then think about the story logically.

Her husbands sister is still employed after shotting a moose, tazering a child and drinking and driving while on patrol.

I think most people would see it as a responsibitly to report such actions. Not to mention the whole process was a political scam

Tell me what you mean by "the way the media is prtraying Sarah Palin"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posted by Stratmaster2

The way the ran with stories like she tried to ban books or that her priest is a witch doctor or that she is part of a party that wanted to succeed from the US or that she wanted only creationsim taught in school.

All factually wrong but the media talked about all of them, including saying her child was really her daughters child.

If you want to see the media biased just look at how much they make fun of the republican ticket vs the Dem ticket on SNL. No one makes fun of Obama ever!

[palin0808]

I think it''''s a shame how Palin presents herself. So many abuses of power.... That, and she preaches abstinence, but both she and her oldest daughter get pregnant out of wedlock. What a hypocrite!

Everyone makes mistakes, that isn''t the point. the point is not fixing your mistake by killing a unborn baby. That is the difference between her and you.

Also she has never ever abused her power so nice try. She did nothing wrong legally in tazergate hearing.

why is it when the media is critical of sarah palin everyone says its "a shame" but when they chastise obama its "he deserve it because he is a Muslim" (code word negro). i have seen people who want to kill obama just for the simple fact that he is running for president. Bush ran this country into a ditch and i have not seen dolls with bush''s face with nooses around there neck or bushes face on a food stamp with watermelon and fried chicken. people dislike palin but they hate obama why? i think you can answer that question

[randaids]

I contiue to be amazed that people buy what Bam Bam is selling. Rather than indicate Bushes policies as a possible Mc Cain weakness, Bam would rather talk about ''his personality''. If I were Katie, I''d have called him on it, but no. Everyone is so intent on electing the first bi racial Pres that is all they can hear.

[wspe621]

Katie at least in this article I see fairness. I am very disappointed in the media. The media to me is to report fairness to each candidate and not bias opinions. CBS news is not as bad as ABC, CNN, NBC & MSNBC but I am very ashamed of America''s networks. Tou networks are on the fix and I cannot figure out why. Just be fair to both candidates. Also I believe is a shame what the media is portraying Sarah Palin. All I can say is the ladies are sure rough on her. If you notice most or our Presidents have been Governors not Senators. Remember Carter, Reagan, Bush, anClinton. She is going for VP. Obama ahas no more experience than her and he going for President. You ladies are rough on each other.
