The Sarah Palin Interview with Hugh Hewitt
September 30, 2008 by PUMA Pundit
Despite all the nonsense out there about Sarah Palin being an airhead from the Alaskan wilderness, this interview with Hugh Hewitt goes to show that she is a smart lady with a good head on her shoulders who is going to Washington to help John McCain clean up the mess that city is full of…:
Here’s the audio
HH: Governor Sarah Palin, welcome to the Hugh Hewitt Show. Great to have you.
SP: Hey, thank you so much. Nice to hear your voice.
HH: Governor, your candidacy has ignited extreme hostility, even some hatred on the left and in some parts of the media. Are you surprised? And what do you attribute this reaction to?
SP: Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it, but it’s motivation for John McCain and I to work that much harder to make sure that our ticket is victorious, and we put government back on the side of the people of Joe six-pack like me, and we start doing those things that are expected of our government, and we get rid of corruption, and we commit to the reform that is not only desired, but is deserved by Americans.
HH: Now Governor, the Gibson and the Couric interview struck many as sort of pop quizzes designed to embarrass you as opposed to interviews. Do you share that opinion?
SP: Well, I have a degree in journalism also, so it surprises me that so much has changed since I received my education in journalistic ethics all those years ago. But I’m not going to pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrelful. I’m going to take those shots and those pop quizzes and just say that’s okay, those are good testing grounds. And they can continue on in that mode. That’s good. That makes somebody work even harder. It makes somebody be even clearer and more articulate in their positions. So really I don’t fight it. I invite it.
HH: Have you followed the attacks on you, say, via Drudge or the blogs? Some of them are just made up and out of left field, others are just mocking. Do you follow those?
SP: No, I sure don’t, and thank God I don’t have time to follow those. You know, I think that those shots, too, though, no matter what we’re taking and receiving, it’s nothing compared to what real shots are against Americans in this world. Americans today who are worried about losing their home and figuring out how in the world they’re going to pay their fuel bill next month, and send their kid to college, and may be worried about losing a loved one that they’re sending off to a war zone to protect our rights. Those are the shots that Americans are taking, so all this political nonsense and the lies, the rhetoric that is spun out there about someone just trying to offer themselves up in the name of service to this great country, I’ll take it.
HH: Governor, you mentioned the people who are struggling right now. Have you and your husband, Todd, ever faced tough economic times where you had to sit around a kitchen table and make tough choices?
SP: Oh my goodness, yes, Hugh. I know what Americans are going through. Todd and I, heck, we’re going through that right now even as we speak, which may put me again kind of on the outs of those Washington elite who don’t like the idea of just an everyday working class American running for such an office. But yeah, there’s been a lot of times that Todd and I have had to figure out how we were going to pay for health insurance. We’ve gone through periods of our life here with paying out of pocket for health coverage until Todd and I both landed a couple of good union jobs. Early on in our marriage, we didn’t have health insurance, and we had to either make the choice of paying out of pocket for catastrophic coverage or just crossing our fingers, hoping that nobody would get hurt, nobody would get sick. So I know what Americans are going through there. And you know, even today, Todd and I are looking at what’s going on in the stock market, the relatively low number of investments that we have, looking at the hit that we’re taking, probably $20,000 dollars last week in his 401K plan that was hit. I’m thinking geez, the rest of America, they’re facing the exact same thing that we are. We understand what the problems are. It’s why I have all the faith in the world that John McCain is the right top of any ticket at this point to get us through these challenges. It’s a good balanced ticket where he’s got the experience, and he’s got the bipartisan approach that it’s going to take to get us through these challenges. And I have the acknowledgement and the experience of going through what America is going through.
HH: Governor, when you say things are tight right now, is that simply because of Todd being off not working? Or is it because of extraordinary demands on the fiscal resources of the Palin family? What’s the situation there?
SP: No, it’s just the great financial crisis that America is in as our savings accounts also, and a 401K, they’re being hit.
HH: Sure.
SP: Our stocks, you know, they took a hit yesterday. And then of course, just the same thing that other Americans are asking themselves today. We’ve got three teenagers. How are we going to pay for their college education? How are we going to make sure that we’re investing wisely today. We’re putting a lot of faith in other people who are using our money as investments. We have to count on the federal government to be overseeing these agencies and entities, making sure that we’re not going to get screwed on this deal, and that our savings are safe. So there again, John McCain’s got some great ideas on granting authority, for instance, to the FDIC, making sure that our deposits are insured. He wants to increase that deposit insurance cap of all of our money, our savings, from $100,000 dollars up to $250,000 dollars, so that families like mine, so that we don’t have to worry about our money being safe or not under FDIC.
HH: Governor, let’s turn to a couple of issues that the MSM’s not going to pick up. You’re pro-life, and how much of the virulent opposition to you on the left do you attribute to your pro-life position, and maybe even to the birth of, your decision, your and Todd’s decision to have Trig?
SP: Yeah, you know, I think that that’s been probably the most hurtful and nonsensical slap that we’ve been taking is our position that we have taken, pro-life, me personally, and saying that you know, even though I knew that 13 weeks along that Trig would be born with Down Syndrome, and I said you know, he’s still going to be a most precious ingredient in this sometimes messed-up world that we live in. I know that my son is going to provide a lot of hope and a lot of promise in this world, and I’m so thankful of course that I’ve had the opportunity to give him life and to bring him into this world. But I think yeah truly, that that’s been a hurtful slap that we have taken, because people just don’t understand. Ironic too, Hugh, that some would consider my position on life and trying to usher in a culture of life, respecting the sanctity of life in America, that that is seen as an extreme position when to me, an extreme position is one that Barack Obama took when he was in the Illinois State Senate, not even supporting a measure that would ban partial birth abortion, not even supporting a measure that would during, after a botched abortion and that baby’s born alive, allowing medical care to cease and allowing that baby to die. That to me is extreme. That’s so far, far left it’s certainly out of the mainstream of America. To me, that is the extreme position, not my position of just wanting that culture of life to be respected, and not wanting government to sanction the idea of ending life.
HH: Do you think the mainstream media and the left understands your religious faith, Governor Palin?
SP: I think that there’s a lot of mocking of my personal faith, and my personal faith is very, very simple. I don’t belong to any church. I do have a strong belief in God, and I believe that I’m a heck of a lot better off putting my life in God’s hands, and saying hey, you know, guide me. What else do we have but guidance that we would seek from a Creator? That’s about as simple as it gets with my faith, and I think that there is a lot of mocking of that. And you know, so bet it, though I do have respect for those who have differing views than I do on faith, on religion. I’m not going to mock them, and I would hope that they would kind of I guess give me the same courtesy through this of not mocking a person’s faith, but maybe perhaps even trying to understand a little bit of it.
HH: Governor, let’s close with some foreign affairs. It is reported that you had an Israeli flag in your governor’s office. You wore an Israeli flag pin occasionally. One, is that true? And two, why your support for Israel?
SP: Well, it is true, and I ran into Shimon Peres recently at a meeting, and he even pointed that out. He said I saw a picture of you on the internet, and you had an Israeli flag in your state government office, and I said I sure do. You know, my heart is with you. And all of those trials and tribulations throughout history that Israel has gone through, not only does that allow me to want to support that country, but Israel is our strongest and most important ally in the Middle East. And they are a democratic country who I believe deserves our support, and I know that John McCain believes as I do that Israel is our friend, and we need to be there to support them. They are there for us, and I do love that country.
HH: Last question, Governor. Have you and Todd heard from your son? And how is it on your nerves having your son deployed?
SP: That little stinker, I guess he’s called his girlfriend a couple of times, but can you believe he hasn’t called his momma yet? He’s over there. They were just leaving Kuwait heading into Iraq, and I am just so extremely proud of Track, my son, and all of the men and women, of course, serving in the military. I’m proud that my son made this independent and very wise decision as such a young man at 18, deciding you know, he realized there’s something he can do to help, to contribute, to help protect our nation, and I couldn’t be more proud of him and all those who choose to serve in our military. They’re serving for the right reasons. God bless them, God love them.
HH: Governor Sarah Palin, look forward to talking to you again, good luck on Thursday night.
SP: Thank you so much. Talk to you soon.
End of interview.

Sarah 08!!!!!!!
A cordial invitation to see a historical remake of a timeless drama!
Almost nobody is old enough to remember the 1937 film, A Star is Born, starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, in which “Esther Blodgett is just another starry-eyed farm kid trying to break into the movies. Waitressing at a Hollywood party, she catches the eye of alcoholic star Norman Maine, who arranges a screen-test. She is caught up in the (ruthlessly satirized) Hollywood glamor machine. She and her idol Norman marry; but his career abruptly dwindles to nothing.”
That’s okay if you weren’t around to see it. It has been remade several times, and the latest (2008) version debuting this Thursday is a blend of the original movie plot with a reality television twist, but that is covered in detail below.
If you are old enough, you may remember Judy Garland (picture of Judy Garland) and James Mason (picture of James Mason) starring in the 1954 remake of A Star Is Born. “A movie star whose career is on the wane, meets showgirl when he drunkenly stumbles into her act one night. A friendship develops, then blossoms into romance before tensions increase as Esther’s career takes off while Norman’s continues to plummet.”
If you aren’t old enough to remember that one, perhaps you remember the 1976 remake of A Star Is Born that starred Barbra Streisand (picture of Streisand) and Kris Kristofferson (picture of Kristofferson)
“A rock star has seen his career begin to decline. Too many years of concerts and managers and life on the road have made him cynical, and the monotony has taken its toll. Then he meets an innocent, pure and very talented singer. He shows her the way to stardom while forsaking his own career. As they fall in love, her success only makes his decline even more apparent.”
And now, in the 2008 remake, where the original storyline is mixed with reality TV, this Thursday (check your local listings) you can watch it with a political twist!
Sarah Palin (picture of Sarah Palin) and Joe Biden (picture of Joe Biden) star in A Political Star Is Born (2008)
An aging US Senator whose bumbling humor endeared him to his Delaware constituents and the people of America, is finding his career on the wane. Each time he tried to get a promotion (by running for US President) he got fewer and fewer votes, (he didn’t even crack the 2,ooo vote mark in the 2008 Democratic primaries). He was ready to pack it in when he was chosen to be the VP of his party’s ticket.
While on the rubber-chicken dinner and fund-raising circuit, he meets a young and fresh face to politics, the governor of a small-population state, who leaped from obscurity to stardom when she was picked to be the VP candidate of the opposing party’s campaign.
Hillarity and hijinks are sure to ensue when the aging hippy in the swan-song of his career meets the up-and-coming straight-laced starlet. Will there be romance or pain for these two star-crossed souls, who were destined to meet in a political-reality TV remake of the timeless tale, A Star is Born.
(This Thursday, check your local listings for time and channel.)
PUMA friends,
I am not officially a PUMA member, but, after coming across your site, have watched and learned from you.
I am a republican, and I want to express my admiration for your caring concern for our nation and your embrace of diversity in this unprecedented political environment. I also want to convey my admiration of your strength, knowledge and diligence in working to keep our country strong, safe and respected throughout this election process.
There is so much evil and corruption lurking behind the Obama shadow that it makes me fearful for every man, woman and child not only in our country but in the world. Never before in the history of the United States has it been so paramount for the American people to join together for the goodness and protection of our country.
So, PUMA, I want to offer to you my single voice of thanks and appreciation on behalf of our country and our nation’s future.
Thank you, and God bless all of you.
Thank you Lady Hawk. Constructive conversation is welcome on this page.
I truly believe that the Republicans would have preferred Hillary running in this race against McCain than the situation we are in with Obama.
Together we can all make the difference.
McCain/Palin 2008!
Morons….
You remind me of all those fake calls to talk shows back in the ’90s, the ones that always started with “I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, but now…” yuor site is nothign more than GOP trolls and a smattering of the truly stupid, stupid dead-enders of identity politics…
What an amalgam of winners you got here
sparky - i admire your passion. to be honest, i wish i felt as strongly as you do in favor or against either candidate. that said, it reads as if the “constructive conversation” that is welcome on this page is the same as “anybody who agrees with sparky/PUMAs.”
“There is so much evil and corruption lurking behind the Obama shadow that it makes me fearful for every man, woman and child not only in our country but in the world. Never before in the history of the United States has it been so paramount for the American people to join together for the goodness and protection of our country.”
this is exactly the same language that people on the far left use to describe mccain. this isn’t constructive conversation. it’s hyperbole. in my mind, this is exactly the type of language that PUMAs would be turned off by.
i’ve read a lot of posts on this site, and have come to understand why people don’t like obama. i may not agree with each and everyone point, but i see the merit in most of the arguments posted here. if the message or objective of this site is to prevent obama from getting elected (from About PUMA: They are deeply, seriously concerned that we will accomplish exactly what we have set about doing: Denying the Presidency to Barack Obama) and spreading the word, isn’t it better to approach the issue with more sensitivity? you don’t like being ridiculed for not jumping on the obama bandwagon, so why would anyone who does support obama want to be ridiculed or told that their candidate should make them fearful for every man, woman and child in the entire world?
last comment: on a lighter note: i love the name lady hawk. is it in reference to the movie? i love that movie … whenever it’s on TV, i always watch it.
just_an_observer - thank you for the back-handed compliment. PUMAs have a valid argument and presentation regarding Obamas methods, approach, ideologies.
I’ve noted before that you do take a hands off approach to discussing Obama’s ties to Acorn (by the way - I’ve emailed you quite a few to chew on) or for that matter his approach to dealing with other countries on his disarment for nuclear weapons.
All signs are pointing to red flags with this man - yet any one that is in strong support of him simply wipes them off their shoulders as if it’s a conspiracy against Obama.
Do you not see the “scary” biased the MSM has for Obama?
Do you not see the ties that this man has to questionable organizations?
Do you not see the distinctly socialistic and unrealistic stance he has with foreign powers and terrorist related countries.
Do you not see his simplistic , unrealistic and disasterous approach he has for the U.S. economy and health care?
Do you not see why Muslim and Communistic Super Powers of other countries are encouraging him to be voted in?
Do you not see his ties as a community organizer fir ACORN which is completely tied into the failure of lending institutions is a major concern. His ties to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and the former Executive now on his Campain Economics Advisory Committee?
Do you not see or do you don’t want to see.
You are just an observer that is leaning toward Obama - sorry - it’s just not working any more.
Although - I will tell you that your civil responses have been appreciated and respected. I just wish I could say the same for your delusional reasoning.
By the way just_an_observer -try googling Obama and Acorn and see what comes up - I know you won’t because frankly you don’t want to see this man in any kind of distorted way, heaven forbid if his pedestal is reduced by an inch.
TD: People need to see the post @ NoQuarter (and the front page of FoxNews.com). The lead:
“. . . Gwen Ifill, who is currently slated to moderate Thursday’s vice-presidential debate, has written a pro-Obama book that is to be published on January 20, 2009. Yes, Inauguration Day!”
Not only is the book about Obama, it’s about the rising AA stars in American politics, with him as the centerpiece.
Can you imagine what will happen to her book sales based on whether he WINS or LOSES?!
This is madness!!!!
And, no, the McCain campaign was not told about the book.. Ifill is also an Oprah pal and has been called out before for her pro-Obama slant. This is like letting the Obama campaign run the debate.
This mass rapture and public hypnosis is stunning. I feel like I’m living through Orwell’s 1984. But, that was fiction. This is real.
Spark,
I believe if this was an honest and straightforward campaign from the start that Hillary would indeed have been the democratic nominee, and we would have had a great American election. The Obama campaign is at least bringing to light this political cancer that is so dangerously systemic. I am hoping and praying that his supporters gain insight before it’s too late and the same thing happens to McCain.
I can’t help but to wonder if Clinton was trying to help out the McCain campaign when he spoke in FL today and spoke about how Obama called his people and asked about what the problem was (economic crisis) and how to fix it. It sounded like a great soundbyte to demonstrate Obama’s lack of leadership and ideas, yet he so skillfully rallied support. Maybe I’m just hearing with biased ears.
I think the Clintons are in an incredibly difficult position, and, although I am a republican, I do respect them both. Again, thank you for continuing to fight the good fight.
sparky -
firstly, i had no intention of delivering a back-handed compliment. i do admire your passion and your decision to speak out against obama. you post regularly and are informed. no back-handed compliments.
i have already agreed that “PUMAs have a valid argument and presentation regarding Obamas methods, approach, ideologies.” my objection is to the way that it is presented. this brings me to my second point: you never answered my question(s) regarding the PUMA approach. i’ll re-post here: isn’t it better to approach the issue (ie, your distaste for obama) with more sensitivity? you don’t like being ridiculed for not jumping on the obama bandwagon, so why would anyone who does support obama want to be ridiculed or told that their candidate should make them fearful for every man, woman and child in the entire world?
to your questions/points:
“I’ve noted before that you do take a hands off approach to discussing Obama’s ties to Acorn (by the way - I’ve emailed you quite a few to chew on) or for that matter his approach to dealing with other countries on his disarmament for nuclear weapons.”
- i’m still looking through acorn and obama. you’ve presented a single side of the issue, as did mbander. i need to see both sides. for the record, michelle malkin is not an unbiased source of information.
“All signs are pointing to red flags with this man - yet any one that is in strong support of him simply wipes them off their shoulders as if it’s a conspiracy against Obama.”
the red flags that you see are the result of you forming an opinion. your opinion is not fact. i have never claimed that there is a conspiracy for or against obama. i loathe conspiracy theorists. research has repeatedly shown that humans are terrible at keeping a secret.
“Do you not see the “scary” biased the MSM has for Obama?”
i don’t believe in media bias. i believe that the media sells what people want to buy - that’s their singular motivation.
“Do you not see the ties that this man has to questionable organizations?”
yes, i recognize that obama has ties to questionable organizations, however, ties are not equivalent to guilt or personal wrongdoing. obama has never been implicated in a crime or accused of wrongdoing in a court of law. if his ties to these organizations were as strong as you suggest, they would adversely affect his ability to do his job. there is no evidence to suggest that he has received kickbacks, done political favors for an organization, or is an operative of an organization seeking to harm the united states. he has never been accused of anything nor implicated in any ethics scandal.
“Do you not see the distinctly socialistic and unrealistic stance he has with foreign powers and terrorist related countries.”
i prefer obama’s foreign policy to mccain’s. i do not believe in preemptive action. i don’t think that’s socialist though. has the current administration’s stance against foreign powers and terrorist related countries improved our standing in the world? i don’t think so (but i don’t know so). iran is still advancing its nuclear capabilities, north korea started to disarm but has halted the destruction of one of its towers, and russia is flailing about trying to regain some of its former influence. although i like obama’s foreign policy, i do question his ability to execute that policy. i disagree with mccain’s foreign policy, but i do not question his ability to execute that policy. so, let’s call this one a draw for each candidate (although, with palin on the ticket, we know that she can keep an eye on russia. what an embarrassment. palin has little to no foreign policy experience, but that doesn’t weaken the ticket. mccain has enough to make up for it! how did the mccain camp not see that?).
“Do you not see his simplistic , unrealistic and disastrous approach he has for the U.S. economy and health care?”
obama’s protectionist tendencies are a bit worrisome for me. do i think it’s disastrous? no. as far as i know, obama’s health care plan is very similar to hillary’s. count me among the folks in favor of a hybrid socialized/privatized health care system. i don’t think that obama or mccain have disastrous or simplistic approaches to the economy nor health care. there are positive aspects to both of their plans, and more overlap than one would think.
“Do you not see why Muslim and Communistic Super Powers of other countries are encouraging him to be voted in?”
i generally don’t care what other countries have to say in our election, whether they be democratic, communist, or muslim.
“Do you not see his ties as a community organizer for ACORN which is completely tied into the failure of lending institutions is a major concern. His ties to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and the former Executive now on his Campaign Economics Advisory Committee?”
yes, this is a concern.
“Do you not see or do you don’t want to see.”
i won’t pretend to say that we see the same things. but we don’t have to see them exactly the same way. i see things i like and things i don’t like about obama. i feel the same way about mccain. on balance, i think obama has more to offer than mccain. i think their both flawed individuals … but i’d be more concerned if they weren’t.
to your final point: google is not synonymous with truth. if you write enough articles about mccain and his ties to the nazis, that would come up on google too. just because you read it on the internet doesn’t make it true.
i have great respect for both senators mccain and obama. if that means they are on a pedestal, then so be it.
just_an_observer,
I chose Lady Hawk because Hawk is my maiden name, and lady simply identifies me as a woman. I’m glad you like it. I’ve never seen the movie.
There is no question that there are diverse opinions bursting throughout the political atmosphere, and, like congress, we all have our duty to cast our votes to help help shape our nation from main street to wall street as well as across the waters of the globe.
I do apologize if my “fear” comments offended you. This is simply and truly how I honestly feel. I am 48 years old and have spent many of my years living and traveling in other countries such as Japan, Iceland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, Romania as well as across the U.S. I strive to be open-minded and accepting rather than merely tolerant of diverse cultures and ideologies.
I listen to Obama with as much objectivity as I can because I want to be open to thoughts and ideas other than my own or other than those who agree with me. This philosophy is what brought me to this site to begin with.
My fear is real, and I just got to a point where I needed to express it because I deeply care about everyone and can see what is happening. My appreciation for the PUMAs on this site is sincere, and I wanted to express that as well.
Perhaps you should look at all of the information about Obama and replace his name with McCain or Palin or simply remove names and just look at the series of facts. Connect the dots and decide for yourself what the big picture for our country and our future looks like.
I would caution people here that Just an Observer is not being intellectually honest with this group. Talking with him/her is a time sink and doesn’t lead to anything positive.
There is a Bosnian film entitled “No Man’s Land” that is a couple of years old. In that film there is a discussion between the protagonist knowledgeable Bosnian soldier and ignorant Serbian soldier. It is brief but shows a knowledgeable person attempting to talk to one who is without knowledge. The Serbian in ths film just reguritates back to the Bonian what he has said, changing who does what to whom. That’s what happens with some Obama supporters.
Yes, Obama is corrupt, dishonest, wants to limit several Constitutional rights.
No, McCain is not corrupt, dishonest, nor does he want to limit any Constitutional rights.
Yes, on the above, Obama is scarey and and threat to the US
No, McCain is not scarey or a threat to the US
And Biden…..he said he wants to, and I quote “fundamentally change America” and he repeated the “fundamentally change”. several times.
pumasympathiser - how do you define positive outcome? me agreeing with you? if that is your outcome, then yes, a discussion with me may be considered a time sink without a positive outcome.
for me, a positive outcome is increased understanding. lady hawk took a minute of her valuable time to expand her thoughts. that’s a positive outcome for me.
with regard to your analogy to the movie ‘no man’s land’, it is weak at best and offensive at worst. i was unaware that you are the arbiter of who does and does not have knowledge.
my original question, however, goes unanswered: how can you spread a message of distaste for obama using the same approach of mixed ridicule and hyperbole that is very similar to what your opponents would use? in other words, people have called PUMAs stupid, misguided, and have come to this site to ridicule your opinion. yet, on these same pages, PUMAs are guilty of the exact same thing. pumasympathiser’s post is an excellent example.
just an observer
A positive outcome of a discussion would be for you to honestly revveiw the plethora of evidence that supports the conclusions of most on this site. That is really the only reason to come here - to learn. You pretend to want to discuss, but then you have a frivolous reason to dismiss any argument, even if that dismissal is based simply on refusing to honestly consider the evidence.
No Man’s Land, aside from being one of the best movies ever made, addresses the point of your type of agrument pefectly.
In your last paragraph you are simply doing it again.
Hey, while I’m talking to you, I’ll recommend that you watch a pleasant movie called “The Sound of Music”. Watch it carefully.
pumasympathiser - i’ve reviewed what you term evidence on this site. i find some of it interesting, and in some cases worrying. in most cases, however, the evidence is unconvincing. i find that most of the connections that obama has to questionable individuals are loose and have had little to no effect on his policy positions. furthermore, i find no evidence implicating obama in anything illegal, immoral, or unethical.
your definition of a positive outcome is lacking: how can the goal of a discussion be for someone to review evidence? a discussion should be about the merits of the evidence or the presentation of that evidence. it seems that your intellectual honesty should be questioned, not mine.
please identify a case in which i have given a frivolous reason to dismiss an argument.
while you recommend movies, my last point remains unanswered: how can you spread a message of distaste for obama using the same approach of mixed ridicule and hyperbole that is similar to what your opponents (ie, pro-obama advocates) would use? in other words, people have called PUMAs stupid, misguided, and have come to this site to ridicule your opinion. yet, on these same pages, PUMAs are guilty of the exact same thing. pumasympathiser’s post is an excellent example.
i love the marionette scene in the ’sound of music’. i’ll go rent it right now and re-watch it carefully.
just_an_observer - have you seen the photo of Obama in full muslim garments meeting with Libya’s President. In his company was Reverend Wrong.
Was that a concern to you? No not just the whole “muslim outfit” but the fact they were meeting with a man that was paying people to blow up planes with American Passengers.
Illegal? Did you watch We Will Not be Silenced? Illegal.
Just watch No Man’s Land. Your character is Nino.:)
sparky - that photo is fake. do some research.
regardless, the next president (mccain or obama) will likely meet with ghadafi. the bush administration has opened up communication with the libyan government since it decided to dismantle WMDs and allow inspectors into the country. condoleeza rice has since met with ghadafi (sans muslim garb). the united states is now in the process of lifting sanctions against libya. it would be surprising, in fact, if the next president reversed the diplomatic progress in libya.
i am issuing a broken record alert for myself. i got 3 responses to my last post, yet none to my question: how can you spread a message of distaste for obama using the same approach of mixed ridicule and hyperbole that is similar to what your opponents (ie, pro-obama advocates) would use? in other words, people have called PUMAs stupid, misguided, and have come to this site to ridicule your opinion. yet, on these same pages, PUMAs are guilty of the exact same thing. pumasympathiser’s previous post is an excellent example.
just_an_observer - I am fully aware of the sanctions lifted against Libya since they turned in their “terriorists” approach to the United States and paid restituion ot hte Pan Am Fight 103’s families.
The photos are not doctored -they are real - see no evil……
