Palin was the only conservative among them. McCain lost it when he stopped campaigning and did the bailout. Romney stopped campaigning too, for who knows what reason.

Can the media be trusted? I guess it depends on ones perspective. If you are an average working person with an income below 10 million, the answer is NO. If you are the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, the answer is yes.

I blame the audience for being stupid enough to watch...



Obama questions:

How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to "win"?
How does your family feel about your "winning" breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor's [Clinton] speech?

Palin questions:

Do you have enough qualifications for the job you're seeking?
Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren't you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]

Palin was no more of a conservative than she is a rocket scientist..she's a wishy washy Neoconthat was and still is a huge embarrassment to true repubs everywhere..she's the type of talking crapstain that is the result of political inbreeding by Reagan and the evangelical crowd...a lying opportunist like the REST of the neocons..they hide behind the republican moniker is all and just like the ultralibs,they should have their OWN party.

And where do you get the idea that Romney "stopped campaigning FOR SOME REASON"..new viral email out and about from a neocon website that Obama bought him off or something? I mean really?

I'm not an Obama fan at all,but I would rather see him or just about anyone else on this planet(or another planet for that matter) as POTUS than trash like Palin.

Yeah, I don't know where some people get that "Romoney stopped campaigning" stuff, the torpedo in his boat was his own doing with the "47%" comment.

One would think that the "R" party would at least try to learn "How Not To Shoot Self In Foot", but, as long as they continue doing so, the "D" party might continue winning elections.

It almost seems as if they sabotage themselves..I don't get it and at one time I actually thought they were doing it by design so a D would end up taking the blame for Gdumbya's economy fallout and they would rush in after the fall and run someone worth looking at,but after the group of stooges that they fooled with last election(I mean Newt? Trump Perry?..seriously?} I have came to the conclussion its not by "intelligent design" at all..they are just flat out stupid and the old school conservatives are stuck with these morons for the forseeable future until they either flush their party toilet or form a new one not taken over by the neocons..pretty sad really.

Yes, the Tip O'Neils and Reagans of America have surely vanished.

For purposes of this question, Fox News is NOT the mainstream media any more because they have shifted too far to the right. The mainstream media consists of CNN, CBS, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the like. Do you believe those outlets are trustworthy?
FOX is a perfect example of mainstream media and why MSM cannot be trusted.
