Excerpts from Sarah Palin's Interview With Fox News

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.”

I think it unlikely that she meant to say:

Maybe it wasn't written in the script, but so what. Jesus! 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.

But if she had said this, I would not have minded.

Does it really matter?

With all the issues, claims, counterclaims, etc. of the last eight years, you want to lecture on the pronunciation of nuclear?

Matthew 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

but "golly" and "gosh" are clearly derivatives of God's name

"god" is not God's name; therefore, "golly" and "gosh" are not derivatives of it.

"god" is not God's name; therefore, "golly" and "gosh" are not derivatives of it.

Right you are. In Hebrew...JEHOVAH JEHOVAH-JIREH, JEHOVAH-ROPHE, JEHOVAH-NISSI, JEHOVAH-M'KADDESH ect or in Greek... KURIOS, DESPOTES, THEOS, HUPSISTOS ect. The guy is splitting hairs, he doesn't like Palin so he wants to justify his dislike with this lame argument.

“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.”

dude....if yer a conservative, of course Sarah would be the best candidate on the ballot....she was on this last one...so she seems overconfident? what? she wasnt sufficiently supplicant to the men-folk? would you rather she looked at the ground when men were in the room? and exactly what priorities of hers are disordered?

face it kurt....the best conservative to come out of the republican party in many years just happens to be a woman and you cant bet behind her....check yourself, misogyny man
