Where is Sarah Palin?

[dragonrider]

Has anyone seen any kind of interview at all with Sarah Palin since she was announced on Friday? Today is five days after they announced she is going to be the VP candidate, and there hasn't been even one interview yet, at least none that I have seen or read. That seems wierd. She can speak and aswere questions, right?

There has been all this dumb speculation and stupid rumors about her family, which is really mostly unfair. But she hasn't had any actual interviews about any of it. She's in danger of being defined as a joke if she doesn't get out in front of some of this junk. No one knows who she is, so it's easy to let an unfavorable charicature settle in. But they haven't had a single interview yet.

Personally, I thnk she was a big mistake and not ready for this at all. The best thing she could do for herself to dispelll that inpression would be to have an interview.

Looks like she's just waiting for a little of the smoke to disappear first.

Hopefully not a tactic she plans to use if she ever makes it into the White House Shouldn't fires be extinguished as soon as possible? Doesn't make sense to let it burn straight to the ground before you toss a cup of water on it :jointsmile:

Sorry... I couldn't help it. Personally, I feel that anyone has the right to potentially run this country. I will not condemn her..... yet. Muhuhahaha :stoned:

Why even respond to the left wing media regarding this issue? This is the perfect time to spend learning about the federal response procedures considering Hurricane Gustav just hit. I mean really, what would she say? "I guess my lil' girl was to horny to grab up the rubber for her boyfriend."

So how many women in the U.S. or women that have daughters in the states have gone through the same thing? On the other hand, how many people in the U.S. have associates like this:

-Leader of the 1960s and 70s domestic terrorist group Weatherman
-"Kill all the rich people. ... Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents."
-Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972
-Currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois

I think Obama owes the U.S. another pretty speech.

The dems are all about freedom of choice regarding the issue of abortion, adoption, keeping the child. Also, that is the party of teaching the children sex education in our schools. NOT saying I'm against either but why the hell would they consider going after Palin about this?

Have a good one!:s4:

Obama did say children were especially off-limits. Only ones attacking Patin are the usual haters who'd fling a rubber ducky.

I haven't seen any Democrats going after her on this family stuff at all. I think they are pretty much leaving it alone and letting the Republicans hash it out amongst themselves and letting the media do the inquiry.

It seems to me to be mostly Republicans raising the questions about whether or not her family values pass some kind of test --- not the Democrats or the media.

And the media is spending it's time following the question of whether she is a good choice politically, and whether she was vetted properly, and whether she and her family are ready to handle all the spotlight. The media are also the main ones askiing whether the choice of such an inexperienced person point to a hypocrisy on the part of McCain given that he has bashed Obama so much on experinece. Mostly Democrats are shying away from that topic, if you ask me. I think they'd be happy to the the experience debate die out, because it has been damaging for Obama up until now, and just let her qualifications or lack thereof speak for themselves during the campaign and the dabates.

I saw one interview in which the Democratic "panelist/pundit" said that the family is off limits, but the political issues that surround the family decisions are not. For example, no one would criticise Palin or her family for any of the choices they have made regarding keeping the daughter's baby or keeping her own Down Syndrome baby --- however, it does bring up the abortion issue and the fact that Sarah Palin would like to deny other women the right to make the choices she and her family have been making. She would like abortion to be illegal even in cases of rape an incest. Basically she would like to remove the choice and have the governement force others to make the same choice she has made.

Not everyone would want to carry a Down Syndrome baby to term or have a baby at 17, but Sarah Palin would force them to.

Well, I for one am grateful I live in a state that teaches real sex ed. They teach abstinence but they also teach prevention. They also teach them about condoms and birth control and sexually transmitted diseases. I was "scared straight", in a manner of speaking, when I became sexually active at 16 from what I learned in sex ed. Kids are gonna do it. Give them some real choices and a real understanding of the consequences of making such a big decision.
I had my first child at 23, and my daughter is 20 and not pregnant yet. You see... I actually talked to her about sex. I didn't just tell her " Don't do it. Period. End of discussion "
Abstinence only teaching not only doesn't work, I believe its socially irresponsible!

I saw an interview with her Saturday night on CNBC with Maria Baritiromo. Palins was going on and on justifing why the US should drill in Anwar. May have been recorded before announcement. She had some baby weight.

I do have a thing for brunettes with glass the hunt and fish but outside of that I am not attracted.

I'm not defending the guy's actions here, but what you've posted about Bill Ayers needs some clearing up:

On the other hand, how many people in the U.S. have associates like this:

-Leader of the 1960s and 70s domestic terrorist group Weatherman

Bill Ayers adamantly denies he was ever a terrorist, in part because they selected only military targets.

-"Kill all the rich people. ... Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents."

This was actually part of a joke, and Bill Ayers himself doesn't seem to think he said it. Yeah, those 70's radicals had a bizarre sense of humor.

-Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972

True, but they did make every effort to not kill or injure anyone.

-Currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois

Well, at least he's not bombing stuff anymore.

Bill Ayers was never a close friend of Obama's. They served on a board together. Ayers donated to a couple of Obama's campaigns. That was pretty much it.

As far as your source, the information is filtered from this article:
No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen - New York Times
You should probably read it, since it was pretty distorted by the time it got to you. Ok, so the guy is probably a communist with a skewed view of the world, but that's not a crime. And he's admitted all his crimes and accepted the consequences of them. It's clear he hasn't done anything like that in at least 30 years, and Obama didn't associate with him until the 90s. I'm sure we've all associated with some shady people, but that doesn't mean we share their values.

By the way, Ayers has commented on the issue himself, in a much more nuanced way than your bullet-pointed description. He's a more complex person than you make him out to be.
