What's the difference between a JD from Harvard and a 6yr BA in communications?

THIS IS SO SEXIST AND UNFAIR.

God damn "gotcha" journalists with their elitist, sexist questions.

[diethx]

Jesus. Didn't any of McCain's people talk to her before picking her for the VP slot?

[Jahira]

Wow. First time I actually decided to actually watch any Palin clips. I was very underimpressed

[Sean of the Thread]

Dan Quayle jr. Poor McCain.

[Mabus]

So you all disagreed with Federalism, States' Rights, Pro-life stance, or that she could possibly find other SCOTUS cases that could have issues that could violate Federalist principles?

I saw nothing wrong with the answer.

I guess you can find something if you are searching for it hard enough.

Down 15% in Pennsylvania, I'd be grasping, too.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I don't know why she didn't bring up the Exxon Valdez ruling, which she said while she was a Governor she disagreed with.. given it directly affected Alaska.

[Mabus]

:rofl:
Thank you for another issue filled post that answers the posed questions.

Perhaps if she would have watched FDR on TV in 1929 with Biden she would have better answered the question.

No, it's pretty much split down the middle:

Yeah they're doing maintenance so there's some wonkiness.

[Cephalopod]

I'm not going to say Biden comes off looking good in that interview, since he's always had a penchant for rambling and mis-speaking... but Palin comes off looking somewhat simple-minded and confused about some things she claims to have strong feelings about.

That's not 'finding something if you search for it hard enough', it's just right in front of you. Biden may be a rambling bozo some of the time, but Palin is Corky from "Life Goes On" all of the time unless she has a cue card.

[g++]

Wow when couric said, you know right to privacy is the foundation of roe v wade you could kind of tell Palin still did not realize what she was talking about. Like not that she got caught with it, I could see her being like well I feel they are actually separate issues....but after she was caught contradicting herself she still had no idea what she was talking about, like to the point where I wonder if she even knows how the supreme court works. Wow.

Although Bidens response also pissed me off. If everything that could vaguely effect interstate commerce was a federal issue states could just be disbanded. I mean its great hes sticking up for battered women (Although Im guessing he just picked that issue because he thought it had the best chance of setting the precedent to drag shit into federal court) but he could probably find a way to do it that did not blow up states rights so It makes me think he was a prick then trying to back door state courts out of their right to decide the cases and hes a prick now for using his old test case issue to pander to women.

He isn't retarded though...so theres that..

[Bothra]

Wow. First time I actually decided to actually watch any Palin clips. I was very underimpressed

Sadly enough this is one of her better answers. This was at least coherent compared to a lot of her other ramblings. She constructed complete, gramatically correct, intelligible sentences. Of course there is the issue of her not answering the question, but it's a start.

[ElanthianSiren]

I always giggle at people who say they're for a "culture of life" yet they're synonymously for war. Is that like saying "I'm for a culture of life as long as I get to pick who I'm referring to?" Abortion is such a sound bite issue.

For McCain's sake, I hope she has a better showing at the debate, or perhaps they're making her look this green intentionally?

[Warriorbird]

I'm for a culture of death.

:D

[ElanthianSiren]

I'm for a culture of death.

:D

one of the many reasons I :heart: you. Not riding in on the sanctity of life BS lets you off the hook for homocidal rage.

I do agree with her regarding states rights, but since they're not going to repeal a whole HOST of SCOTUS decisions, I feel both sides just need to take the little cobbling of laws they agree with and cling to them like we PA residents cling to our guns...totally.

What makes me more uncomfortable with her answering this question was what she did with her body language, which has been pointed out already. You could almost see her searching her mind for the right response, wanting to argue, then not knowing what to do with regard to Couric. Then she makes it worse with "I want I want I want" more of an embrace of a "culture of life!" It just made her look really immature, since public servants are usually supposed to present (at least) the illusion of serving the public.

Katie Couric is starting to look like Tom Petty.

That's already one of the most utilized justifications for federal legislation.

Don't you actually have to have an answer in order to find nothing wrong with it?

Just saying.

[Clove]

That's already one of the most utilized justifications for federal legislation.Palin sucks at follow-up questions, though I didn't see anything wrong with a State's Rights opinion (but then I don't feel privacy is constitutionally protected either).

Biden was making me roll my eyes his interstate commerce rationalization.

I gave both answers C-.

Aside from being clueless with follow-up questions Palin's image in interviews lacks confidence and conviction. She comes off as a hockey mom not an executive.

[Mabus]

This has to be a joke post. I refuse to believe you seriously just said this.

I found it a much more reasonable answer then Biden talking about FDR talking to people on the TV in 1929 while president.

I am sure you know FDR was not president in 1929, he was inaugurated in March of 1933 and, while there were experiments much earlier, broadcast TV did not take hold until the 1940's.

So a slightly evasive answer dealing with "which court cases do you not like so we can call you a conservative judge maker" is certainly less of a "gaffe" then Biden's answer.

But Biden gets a pass.

[CrystalTears]

So basically you can't admit she said "blah blah blah I have no idea blah blah blah."

Probably as one of the guards.

If you admit Biden looked like a complete idiot during his interview while he made up an FDR story, sure.

At least she didn't lie with some outlandish story.

They use a French press there?

[Clove]

Frankly, I don't really like either one of the vice presidential candidates. I don't think Palin was a horrible choice, but I don't think she was the best choice either. And the more I see her, the more it bothers me how she just knows how to (kind of) bullshit her way through an answer.

I'll have a better understanding of them after tonight, I hope.


At least she didn't lie with some outlandish story.Oh okay, what a relief then. /smirks

[TheEschaton]

I don't think Biden lied on the FDR thing, he just mispoke. Hey, you say we shouldn't count it when Bush misspeaks, what the hell!

Palin, however, didn't misspeak, she said nothing. Like someone mentioned previously, it seems she didn't even understand the connection between the right to privacy outlined in Roe v. Wade, whereas Biden seemed to at least have read the case.

As for the States Rights thing, I'd love to see her response to a state that consistently held up a woman's right to choose, and how she'd feel about that if she was VP. Or a state that allowed gay marriage.

As for the interstate commerce thing, I read VAWA, and yeah, it seems like a stretch, and not all that proximately related. However, you can sue for discrimination in federal court, and that's a private action which has been justified as "affecting interstate commerce", if you define commerce as the well-being of society in general. All in all, a workaround to actually pass legislation.

[Clove]

-TheE-I thought she summed that up pretty succinctly. Maybe you just don't listen. She felt it was a State's Rights issue and I think it's safe to assume that she understands that not all States will decide the same.

She also said that in any executive capacity (including VP) she felt her responsibility would be to hold up the laws of the land.

Rough day at the office man? Relax. It's almost the weekend.

[Back]

Coffee does not help high blood pressure.

[Parkbandit]

Not sure how you can claim Biden simply "misspoke" about seeing FDR on the TV on the date he offered... Since FDR wasn't the President and the use of Presidents using television to address the nation wouldn't happen for another 10 or so years.

[Clove]

Coffee does not help high blood pressure.I can stop drinking coffee. You'll always be brain damaged.

[TheEschaton]

He misspoke in two ways: FDR mainly used the radio to address the nation, and, while he was there for the RECOVERY of the crash of 29, he was not the President during that time.

The point is still the same - FDR led our country through a financial crisis with calm and panache.

[TheEschaton]

And Clove, I'm simply saying that I don't believe her sincerity in the states right doctrine. After all, Bush was a states rights guy, and wanted to pass an amendment banning gay marriage.

[Clove]

And Clove, I'm simply saying that I don't believe her sincerity in the states right doctrine. After all, Bush was a states rights guy, and wanted to pass an amendment banning gay marriage.Exactly. If she gives a bad answer she's stupid. If she gives a thoughtful answer, she's insincere; and lets not forget Bush, because Republican=Bush. No bias here.

Exactly. If she gives a bad answer she's stupid. If she gives a thoughtful answer, she's insincere; and lets not forget Bush, because Republican=Bush. No bias here.

[Keller]

Really? She said it was (1) a state's rights issue and (2) there was a federally protected right to privacy under the liberty clause.

So she said it was a state's issue and a federal issue. If you have a federally protected right then the state has no "issue" to decide with regard to that right.

Maybe she doesn't think her body is private; and I suspect many men would support her making it more public.

[ElanthianSiren]

You mean like people who are against the war but support the all volunteer troops that fight it?

As long as you pay the amount of taxes you incur, you can be for the troops and against the war, so I don't see the connection.

[Mabus]

One can believe in a right to privacy, and then still believe that "abortion rights" have nothing to do with privacy.

The two can be exclusive.

To bad she was not competent enough to articulate that.
Why should she have to? She said she believed it was a State's Rights issue and that States should decide. What confuses you and E about that?

Arguments about how privacy plays into it is... well, part of the debate now isn't it? Like I said I don't think she grasps the nuances of how a privacy effects the issue, but I don't know how much clearer she could have been about her opinion on where abortion rights should be.

[g++]

She didn't understand the implications of a Constitutional right to privacy on the topic. I don't know, maybe she misspoke.

Well yah...thats acceptable if your ..my little sister..or some guy at the bar. This person happens to be running for vice president of the United States. I dont think its too much to ask that she understand the implications of the constitution. I mean you could fail the immigration test for not knowing shit like that.

Well that, and aside from other issues such as is privacy really Constitutionally protected, and if so, do abortion rights involve privacy rights (or interstate Commerce).

Personally I think Biden answered as badly as Palin. But you know, he just misspoke.

You cant just respond to what you had wish you had read. I mean I cant just quote you and say "I think its terrible your in favor of child rape Back" and then say I felt in the context of the universe it made sense. The fact is your response had absolutely nothing to do with what was said.

We were talking about implications of the two VP candidates statements and specifically whether Palin was contradicting herself because shes pro-life and pro-privacy and whether she is actually a federalist or just someone who wants to outlaw abortion on the state level. It had nothing to do with claiming Palin was not pro-life, she explicitly states as much every chance she gets.

[Clove]

More on topic I don't think either Palin or Biden would make abortion rights a VP crusade, they just have to express their personal opinions without actually effecting anything.

For Palin to reach her conservative Christian base that means saying she's "Pro-Life" every time she can while at the same time doing little about it. Taking a Federalist stance (however impractical) is a good way of doing this.

It's a non-issue for me (and many women I know) because let's face it; Roe v. Wade isn't going to get overturned. Like ever.

[Keller]

I figured it out: the reason she says that state's have the right to override federal constitutional protections is that is still in the pocket of the Alaskan Independence Party.

His first act was applauded by the gaming industry, was to abolish the XBox. He named it the "All your Box are belong to us Act".

In further developments he has named ClydeR to the newly created post of Secretary of Religious Tolerance.

I don't know why she didn't bring up the Exxon Valdez ruling, which she said while she was a Governor she disagreed with.. given it directly affected Alaska.

So you have a problem with a Gov being against something that would adversely effect their state? I assume you would have something against a pres or vp being against something that would effect their adversely country?

Isn't that what there job is? Doing what is best for the people that elected them?

I like this quote "theres an effect on interstate commerce. Women who are abused and beaten cant be in the workforce" Now thats stretching it a bit.

I think that men that beat women should be strung up and the women they abused allowed to go at them with rusty razor blades and handfulls of salt. But thats besides the point.

Whether they should be allowed to sue them in federal court?

Thats more of a states issue to me. Along with any type of assault. Which is what it is. Assault. If I get my ass handed to me in a bar fight can I go to a federal court an sue? How about if I have to take the next day off work because I'm too sore?

[DeV]

How about if I have to take the next day off work because I'm too sore?I disagree with Biden's stance on the issue as well, but your example isn't even remotely close to the implications that brought about the nature of the legislation. Not even a little bit.

I'm saying it was a Supreme Court ruling she had pretty strong feelings about... and she failed to bring it up.

It was a stupid mistake on her part.

Diethx is right, you totally missed my point. Not that I disagree with Palin, but that she had a PERFECT EXAMPLE TO EXPLAIN HER VIEWS, AND YET SHE DIDN'T USE IT.
