Excerpts from Sarah Palin's Interview With Fox News
Time ^

Posted on 11/10/2008 6:04:22 PM PST by mathwhizz

On accusations of her going rogue during the campaign: “So, as days went on, it was good, it was fine. But being quite independent, just like John McCain is also, yes, maybe there is some characterizing of me going rogue when once in a while I would say something that -- hey, I said it from the heart. I believed in going off script once in a while in some of the rallies in order to really reiterate, perhaps, something that I believed about John McCain.”

“Maybe it wasn't written in the script, but so what. Geez, if this is all going to be so scripted and kind of like a movie screen and we have to follow verbatim everything that somebody writes for you, I don't want any part of that. That's not who I am and that's not who John McCain is either.”

“So, if I went off script once in a while, I can't for the life of me remember any one time where it would have harmed him, or the ticket. So I don't regret it.”

Thanks for representing what a real confused undecided voter looks like....no moral compass.

I try not to absolutely rule anything out until I'm marking my ballot, but I never felt particularly confused this year, and I actually have a fairly strong moral compass.

And no one should EVER question Sarah Palin’s history of dedication to her family.

Why not?

“Why not?’

Because of the dedication that she has demonstrated.

If you have a problem with a woman having a professional career, that is your choice. That is not a Biblical perspective, but is a cultural perspective with some. And that is fine, if that works for you and your family; great.

You will never be satisfied with her as a candidate, that is your choice.

But I don’t like the unwarranted attacks on her from people with a hidden bias.

You act like a twelve year old with no friends. Give it up, get a life and move on. I am.

You want to step up imprecations against 'golly' and 'gosh darn it' and attempt to Flanderize the world?

Imprecations aren't really my thing, but "golly" and "gosh" are clearly derivatives of God's name, and Ned Flanders seems like a decent enough guy.

but you go on looking for excuses to justify your sexist agenda you cro-magnon redneck....

I'd vote for a woman for president if I believed she was the best candidate on the ballot, but to me Sarah seems overconfident, and her priorities seem disordered.

I wonder if I’m the only one that finds the post directly under yours ironic?

Probably not. Many people seem to share the misconception that any mere coincidence is inherently ironic.

I sure would like to know what that all means.

I'm not sure what you mean, so I guess we're even.

You said “In Jesus” eyes, parenthood is a higher calling than the presidency.” How do you know that?

He gives me a lot of direct revelation.

Did Jesus come to your hospital room and tell you or did he call you on the phone?

Um, no. Neither.

Every child is a special child and they all need a Mother and a Father, but they also need parents who work and what kind of work they do is none of your business.

It is if they expect me to vote for them.

B the way when did they let you out?

About 12:15. We had communion this week.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Sarah Palin DOES have a husband. Who happens to be the baby's father. I mean, what is he, chopped liver?

Of course not, but he isn't the baby's mommy either. I don't mind bursting your bubble: A father and a mother have different roles, which incidentally depend in part on the age and unique needs of each individual child.

In my world Geez, is short for Gee whiz. It was not derived from religion.

If you ever want to visit the real world, ping to #106.

You know what assume means don’t you.

Yes, I think so.

As to assuming the role of President, why would the mommy role disappear.

Due to time constraints.

Funny commercials, but not me.

Wrongo, Kurt. Geez is short for Gee Whiz. I have heard this for the last 60 years........even in church.

If you're hearing it in church very often, you may want to look for a new church. Ping to #106.

Check your spring, it is possibly wound too tightly.

Check your words, you are possibly using them too loosely.
