Rush Limbaugh inteviewed Sarah Palin Tuesday for about 10 minutes in the 1:30 half hour. On the media front, Limbaugh noted that unlike the media, "you are the one that is holding Barack Obama to account." He said that the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times both praised how Palin is "the most dynamic and forceful" speaker of all four candidates, but they claimed her forcefulness is "driving away moderates. This is an attempt to get you to shut up."
Palin replied: "Well, yeah, they do want me to sit down and shut up. But that’s not going to happen. I care too much about this great country."
Palin also forcefully called on Obama to rein in ACORN and their "unconscionable" attempts at voter fraud. She said of the media, "There's too much ignorance, too much ignoring of his associations in the past." Limbaugh said if it weren't for the media, Obama "wouldn't be at 30 percent in the polls."
Palin aggressively went after Obama-Biden on taxes, suggesting there's a choice between a ticket to "create jobs" with tax cuts and restraining government growth, or a ticket that would "kill jobs" with tax hikes. She pressed on Obama to declare at what point, the economy is too weak to withstand his tax hike plans.
She also said her ticket was pro-growth, pro-life and pro-winning the war with the strongest military in the world, "or we could go in the complete opposite direction."
Rush asked if she was thinking about her political future after this race, and she said no, she's completely focused on November 4.
Heck, Obama can't take people commenting on the size of his ears.
Not sure how he'll handle Iran...."So, President Achmed. What do you mean, exactly, when you call me the 'Lesser Satan'? I gotta tell ya, heh heh, that I'm not very happy with being referred to by that name."
She said he is against saving babies that are born alive. She said that in PA. Look it up. She did not say Baby-Killer. I take that back. She did say he opposes keeping babies alive that are accidentally born alive. She maybe telling the truth. But to most people that sounds like Baby killer.
I guess you missed the commercials making fun of McCain because of his lack of use of a computer. Implying he was just to old to learn. Seems pretty personal to me.
You just see what you want to see because you’re worshiping at the altar of the Messiah.
Get over it RINO. You’ve exposed yourself. You damn McCain’s camp for pointing out that Obama pals with anti-American terrorists, criminals and scum and they influence his campaign. Yet, you see no problem with Obama’s character attacks on Obama, mocking his age, saying he is erratic (in context of age), mocking his disability, etc.. Everyone here seems to see right though you.. (By the way, it is Johansson, not Johanson.)
Root for Obama somewhere else.. These attacks are wroth it just to see how they push folks like your buttons..
I see, so now telling the truth is personal. Tough, people have to know what kind of scum they’re voting for. Maybe you don’t care but some people might.
That was a direct attack on McCain's disability as that is why he can't use the computer.
McCain's drop in the polls corresponds with the Fannie/Freddie bailout.
Moreover, negative campaigning works, and Obama has more negative attributes than any president in recent memory, including Clinton.
You all are wasting your breath. I tried to warn you in #38.
The traditional job of the running-mate: attack dog who pleases the base.Yes, usually VPs are a non-factor, but I think she is — and it's a net negative for McCain, IMO.
I’m thinking “Turd in the Punchbowl” might be a more appropriate handle.
He is, and voted thusly. There is no excuse for that. If you call that a 'personal attack', you really need to have a good reality check with yourself.
Well, I guess we should just stop telling the truth.
If this nation can no longer handle the truth, they deserve what they get in Obama.
Was it after Celebrity taunt?
OK, you're a Democrat. We get it now.
It is not accurate to say that attacks on Ayers have harmed the McCain/Palin ticket. In fact, most polls showed the R ticket with slight rises as the Ayers stories gained traction. What is harming the R ticket is the economy which always hurts the party in power when stuff hits the fan, regardless of who put the stuff in front of the fan.
Beyond the long term association of the two men (and countless others of dubious distinction), Obama’s lyng about his questionable relationships causes some second thoughts among voters.
And when Palin gets attacked, she says if I can’t take it, I shouldn’t run. When Obama gets attacked he whines and cries and sends out his cronies to burn signs and riot in the streets.
You’r so full of s**t it’s turning your eyes brown.
BTW who the hell is Scarlett Johanson?
Mclaim would not have ever gotten my vote without the Palin pick.
Go Sarah go.
