Sarah Palin’s parents hit up CBS today to chat about reactions to their daughter’s candidacy for Vice President.
To no surprise, Chuck and Sally Heath say that their daughter is being treated unfairly by the media. The McCain-Palin camp has claimed that the media - and the Obama campaign - are reporting falsehoods about their daughter.
Interestingly, when pressed to cite a particular attack from the media that wasn’t true about Sarah, they replied: “Well, we’re just gonna have to get back to ya!”

Media is attacking her - - CUZ THEY SCARED!
LOL!

She is going to be asked to step down next monday after her debate with Biden on Thursday. This was a HUGE mistake that McCain made and goes to show that he does NOT care about the country and just choose her for a shot at winning!! OBAMA!!!!!

I have no idea where you are getting your false news…………..But I ask you anyway:
Where you hearing this?
. Dont be so scared.
Hey Anon 11:29….No one is scared of a fucking IDIOT!!! She cant even handle little Katie Couric?? When is she going to come Meet the Press?? Or 60 Minutes?? Game Over!!!
First off, people that want her to step down even her own party - - are the ones HIDING SHIT
Fuck of Kain.
You and your liberal ass fucking friends have LOST!
HEE HEE!
The woman is a disaster. What kind of idiot requires six years and six colleges to graduate with a journalism degree? And look at the schools she attended. Oy vey. Meanwhile Barack Obama took a total of five years of education to become a magna cum laude Harvard Law graduate. John McCain graduated at the bottom of his class. Idiots electing idiots, gee I wonder why we’re in the shitty circumstance we’re in. She’s a hockey mom, a barracuda, give me a fucking break. The only thing I want a hockey mom leading is the hockey team fundraiser for new uniforms.
Hey Anon 11:33…We have WON look at the poles skank!!! Now…why don’t you go fuck your mother or blow your father…which ever the case maybe!!!
I love John McCain and always have. But because of this desperate ploy to win the election by choosing someone who is obviously not prepared and completely unqualified, I have shifted my support to Mr. Obama. This debate on Thursday is going to be a disaster for her!
Sarah is in WAY over her head……
This woman can not even pass the very simple test of a public interview and suddenly it is the fault of the audience!
How stupid republicans think people have to be? Of course when nominating morons for the main office is is to expect people will react: republicans expect that by bringing the person which represent the minimum common denominator (a very mediocre politician with a very mediocre resume) their people will identify with the mediocrity. Of corse the many republicans have fall on the tramp, stating that her biggest achievement is to give birth to kids: for god sakes! the woman was born with a uterus how difficult is to have kids?!.
Of curse later on when this type of PUBLIC DISASTERS happen not other than by her lack of intellectual strength others are to blame. This is the problems with republicans: their populism is so shameless that they don’t hesitate to bring a total moron to take the presidency once McCaing drops dead, and expect people to measure her abilities just by the political weight of her idiotic fan base.
How is it possible that republicans bring the most unqualified, stupid, mediocre, radical people, just because some rednecks happen to like these morons jokes? That’s why actors, and comedians become presidents! To think that the person in the white house ought to have some simple intellectual strength becomes of of a sudden “elitist”? Let’s choose a retarded and just feel pity for her! that’s a great strategy! Pity and fear, brought to you by your friendly republicans while stabbing you in the back and running away with ALL YOUR MONEY!!
1. Obama’s campaign is in no size shape or form attacking Palin on a personal level and there is not one thing out there to back up her parents assertions. Obama can’t anymore control those who aren’t apart of his campaign and who DO go after her anymore than McCain can the Swiftboaters et al who attack Obama. I understand Palin’s parents as parents, and the support of their daughter of course supercedes all else, but it still doesn’t mean they’re correct.
^>^>^>^>^>^>^>^>^
2. How can the media attack when they can’t even get close?! Sarah Palin has gotten kid glove treatment the likes I have never seen, and the likes that Obama would have caught all kinds of hell if he had tried it. It’s been a double standard that makes me angry everytime I think about it, and those who make excuses for McCain and his hands off stance regarding Palin are starting to feel the backlash and it’s about damn time.
Paper Boy………..she has not been asked to step down. It was suggested by some prominant conservatives, and if anything, it’s them who need to shut up. All those praising the pick like George Will, Charles Krauthammer and Kathleen Parker plus some more should have thought about it then instead of feeling they finally had someone who could be a shoe in “no real experience necessary.” I’m so disappointed in George Will it isn’t funny because he was someone I thought could at least be trusted to not force the square inside the triangle and call it a perfect circle. I say let Palin continue and if she fails, it will be transparent that it was because she was-is not yet ready for the job of VP let alone President should she be called upon. Remember, Cheney changed the rules and it’s not just a face that shows up to cut ribbons at new buildings or place flowers at funerals anymore.
One of Barack Obama’s most famous supporters is a fully certified, 100%, dyed in the wool lunatic.
Michael Moore has weighed in today with what can only be described as a “curious” take on the financial bailout package.

If you’ve ever seen any of his filmed docu-fictions, you know he does the same thing there.
Never! as I would not put one dime of my money into that man’s pocket
Palin treads carefully between fundamentalist beliefs and public policy
By Stephen Braun, Los Angeles Times
Staff Writer
ANCHORAGE — Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago — about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct — the teacher said.
After conducting a college band and watching Palin deliver a commencement address to a small group of home-schooled students in June 1997, Wasilla resident Philip Munger said, he asked the young mayor about her religious beliefs.
Palin told him that “dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time,” Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said “she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks,” recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.
The idea of a “young Earth” — that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago, and dinosaurs and humans coexisted early on — is a popular strain of creationism.
Though in her race for governor she called for faith-based “intelligent design” to be taught along with evolution in Alaska’s schools, Gov. Palin has not sought to require it, state educators say.
President Obama come January 20, 2009!
Eat it republicans, eat it!!
She wants to runs with the big dogs she better be friggin’ tough…No one complained when they were ripping Hillary to shreds…
“They’ve got a real problem,” Andrea Mitchell, NBC’s chief foreign affairs correspondent, told The Chris Matthews Show on Sunday. “She’s a big draw in terms of attracting crowds and money….but if she continues this way, she could cost them this election.”
Republican strategists are said to be beside themselves trying to prepare Palin for the faceoff against Senator Joe Biden. Ed Schultz, a li beral talk-show host wrote on his blog that his sources on Capitol Hill have told him that the McCain campaign held “disasterous” mock debates and a mock news conference with Palin. One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying , “What are we going to do!?” The McCain people want to move the debate to a different date, and possibly cancel it altogether.
The Democrats have not maligned Sarah Palin at all. They have only attacked John McCain’s policies which is to be expected in any presidential campaign. What else would Caribou Barbie’s parents say? They’re her parents and that is what parents do!

You said eat it, I did.
Then, you see that pile of shit over yonder?
Thats Obama
Have you heard Obama support the bailout plan? I haven’t heard Obama say he supports it. You see, Obama votes ‘present’. Obama doesn’t make decisions. That’s why he doesn’t want to be there. He just wants to be on the phone, listening.
We’re being told that we’re in a crisis and it could lead to a depression. And yet, 20% of the $700 billion is supposed to go to a fraudulent Democrat voter registration group, ACORN? You want to pay for that?
I sure in the hell dont.
You all probably thought that Kerry was going to win this time back in 2004 because the media was carrying his water and lunch. Well, the media always tries to elect Democrats, but they don’t always succeed.
And they will not this time, either.
Its not going to pass!
And I wonder why?
Liberals & Democraps maybe?
DING DING DING
D’uh.
What a crock of shit man.
I take that back - - Im glad that they didnt pass it.
Just to keep the money out of the Dems pockets and the failed CEO’s pocket.
So, Im ok with it.
Glad I live within my means…………
Yes,I am glad it didn’t pass either.I am thankful I live within my means as well.
“the failed CEO’s pocket”: BUSH? Halliburton, or Wallsrtreet? Which big corporation is not republican?
They are all republicans. You are so blind that can’t even see who the republicans are: THOSE THAT GET THE MASSIVE TAX CUTS and BAILOUTS!
About two-thirds of Republican lawmakers refused to back the rescue package: That make it the majority of republicans in the house.
.
.
.
AS a republican you make a LOUSY defense: not only forget that the tax-cuts have gone to the big base of republicans that make more than 250.000 but also deny that are the republicans opposed to Bush the ones that are opposing the bill. Democrats are not in the white house and are not the only ones that vote in the house or senate.
.
.

Accountability will land hard in the heads of corporate republicans. The recklessness style of government republicans have imposed on us for the past 8 years is gonna be gone soon, mostly by their own clumsiness, massive abuses and total lack of leadership!
I wish just once those who automatically decide that it must be a liberal and/or Democrate leading the charge to spend your money would do some research before posting. For your infomation, the blame for any of this is quite equitable to a point, but a whole heap of it can be dumped right square in the laps of those Republicans who in their desire for total freedom to make hand over fist money and who had no problem making it at the expense of you and me.
>^>^>^>^>^>^
Do your homework. Yeah, Clinton and some other Dem’s don’t dare get off scotfree here because they played politics for their own gain in areas, but at the end of the day it’s been the Bush administration more than any since Reagan that has pushed for less and less regulation, and they’ve done so declaring that it’s the only way to keep the dogs of socialism from the door and just like with the wedge issues of abortion and gay marriage, it’s wave that flag, wave that bible, and sit back and wait. They pushed the home ownership tale not because it was a benefit to us, but because it was money in the bag whether we failed or not. It was a benefit to those who They told people that less regulation would only make us more powerful as a nation; it will trickle down and others can then climb up higher. Well, I was in Family Dollar the other day and every item I looked at save one was made in China. I went to ACE Hardware and it was the same story.
>^>^>^>^>^
My part of the midwest has been scratching it’s head with one hand and waving the flag with the other, but finally a lightbulb went on and we’re starting to see the picture clear, and it’s Republican geared laws that have taken jobs from America, and its Republican geared laws that ruled Wall Street, and it’s Republican geared deregulation that trickled nothing down the dept while the profit trickled up. It’s also the Republican brainwash that with regulation comes socialism etc et al yada yada. The irony that because of the Republicans, we now WILL have more government intervention; more government oversight; more government this, more government that. By the way, look around your house, read your labels, and ask yourself why it’s perfectly ok to spend your American money on communist made everything, but it smacks of socialism and is a threat to a free market to regulate that lead painted toy, tainted dog food, lo mien noodles made with chemical plant water.
>^>^>^>^
by the why……………… Ample no votes came from BOTH the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle. More than two-thirds of Republicans and 40 percent of Democrats opposed the bill.
just in case you haven’t been paying attention to the CEO’s and their $$$ during and leading up to this crisis…check out some of these payouts (including take home pay, bonuses and stocks) to these 10 CEO’s to the tune of $836.7 Million…or over 10% of what the government is initially expected to save us from financial ruin…
Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo $361,700,000
Fannie Mae CEO Daniel Mudd $11,600,000
Freddie Mac CEO Richard Syron $12,900,000
Bear Stearns CEO James Cayne $42,300,000
Lehman Bros. Richard Fuld $156,500,000
AIG CEO Martin Sullivan $25,400,000
Merrill Lynch CEO Stan O’Neal $66,000,000
WAMU CEO Kerry Killinger $36,000,000
Wachovia CEO G. Kennedy Thompson $16,000,000
Citigroup CEO Charles Prince $57,000,000
…and you know this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of who made money…10 CEO’s out of many, many more…and let’s just assume it at least twice that with the shit we don’t know about…so let’s say these 10 CEO’s are good for at least 20% of the money that WE THE PEOPLE are expected to pony up so they can keep living the good life…Hovoervilles is right…
Now, the issue with the bill is:
.
.
.
.
Democrats want to add a limit to the income of this corporate fraudulent republicans in wall street, in the form of REGULATION.
To get the 700 Billion then wallstreet was to be accountable: that’s the deal. But Republicans voted agains BEACAUSE THEY CAN NOT DEAL WITH REGULATIONS ON GREED.

All these conservatives that think liberals are shy.. THINK AGAIN.
WE ARE LIBERALS AND PROUD OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey thanks for all the great info!
Awww…her parents seem really nice. If I were Palin, I would have asked my parents *not* to do the interview though. It puts them in the awkward position of having to stick up for me and that just seems so…seventh grade.
.
It is *extremely* doubtful that Palin would ever be removed from the ticket. Okay, she hasn’t shown herself to be the brightest of bulbs, but that doesn’t really matter. It’s sad to say, but many voters can put up with dumb, so long as the person is likeable. And Palin is that if nothing else. Choosing her was a bit of a Hail Mary, but it could catapult McCain into the WH.
.
Me’s right that the fact Palin is a PR disaster right now probably won’t matter in the long run. Looking at the polls (I know, I know), ppl really seem to want to vote for McCain. Nevermind the Palin debacle, what with the current economic crisis and the unpopularity of the war, you’d think that voters would be gagging to get rid of the Republicans. The polls should put Obama waaaay ahead right now. But for whatever reason, he’s just not.
