Many versions of 'Bush Doctrine'

Palin could not answser because she was clueless. This country bumpkin is conscious of harassing wolves, blowing away Alaska's strands in the web of all life and how to breed, eat, consume and breed and not necessarily in that order -- and pray for piplelines. And, breed! This is as deep and profound as it gets for this beauty queen, turned governor, already accused of abuse of powers and fraudulent travel claims and pork belly per diem, which if she were in the Army abusing the preceding, she would be sent to prison, post haste!

Even her prayers reflect an individual that is about as conscious as Big Foot, wandering the wilderness and thumping her dark ages chest. Foreign policy issues? She is infinitely more conscious of bulging bellies and more adroit at butchering the bricks, bedrock and mortar of planet Earth than she is of and all national or global issues.

This female, dude, cowboy, reflects dignity, class, grace, cognizance and intellect about as much as a wolf's hide hung up to dry. If would not surprise me none, if after one of her kills, she didn't drink the blood of her victims, nice and warm, oozing from a blown away face. Yuck!

Amen!

The problem I have with it, is that if Charlie Gibson couldn't articulate the Bush Doctrine accurately, why would he assume Sarah Palin understood what he meant by it.

Good point. There are those that like to use this as a point that Palin is clueless. In reality, the "Bush Doctrine" is probably rather nebulous. She could use the fact that she's not entirely familiar with the "Bush Doctrine" as a sign that she's not a big Bush follower.

.

Palin didn't answer the question direct ? What politician do you know that does ? Obama ? He has yet to give a straight answer to anything ? His reply is "There's gonna be a change". He hasn't said what to do with immigration,.... He hasn't said what he was going to do with the health system,.... He hasn't said what he was gonna do with the economy ( except raise taxes).. So where is she different than any other crook ( sorry meant politician) .

Several posters in the recent past have taken note that Americans are literally dumbing down. I was appalled that Americans would elect Reagan until the sub intellects elected Bush, most assuredly one of the most stupid prez's in history. And then came along a female breeding machine with the intellect best depicted by the Salem witch hunts and black magic, a science phobic with the consciousness level of a pennywort bloom that makes movie star Reagan look like the second coming of Einstein, and Bush a cowboy, hog farmer but, at least, he got his tootsies into Yale,

And, then, there came along Palin, a beauty queen huntress right out of the Pleistocene, you know, the Ice Age, an assault weapon in one hand, huuurah, and a pipeline in the other. Was this great huntress ever a commando too, in the Marine Corp. I wonder, when she goes ahuntin merrily if she paints her face in black stripes and wears camofluages, Army issue drawers. huuurah. a go gettin gal. Heay, can she spell, hee haw? Naw!

Obama has been vetted, lauded and ridiculed for over 18 months. He's been thru the media ringer and emerged as an intelligent politician who can go toe to toe with anyone. Whether you agree with him or not, he's been interviewed and scrutinized by everyone in the MSM. Palin has been vetted for all of 4 weeks (?), with only 1 major interview, and still hasn't appeared for any other sit downs, whether with FOX, MSNBC, CNN, other Broadcast Networks or print journalists. So leaving aside the who has more experience argument, the question is why? The answer is simple. Because she's been hidden away cramming with her "handlers" so she won't make any gaffes. Who ever heard of cramming for the VP slot anyway? If you're "experience" hasn't prepared you to face tough questions without cramming, then what does it say about your "ready on day 1" abilities? Not much. Oh I forgot she does has foreign policy experience because she can see Russia from Alaska. All I can see is that McCain has completely lied about his promise to keep his campaign out of the gutter.

What bothered me about the interview was she continued to refer to Charles Gibson by his first name as though they were friends....I'm not sure why it bothered me except maybe her tone sounded condescending when she said it. Anyone else bothered by this and know why? Curious

Hi,
I would say it is a common form of battle with verbage.
Used a lot in debate, more informal than formal.
It is a good way to throw your opponent off. Very effective in real conversation....not so much in this type of communication.
Everyone on TV uses it when being "interviewed" by the media.
I know I most certainly would....but....I think maybe I am safe.
No calls to interview me yet!
hehe

Sarah was totally clueless..wake up! If you vote for these freaking @!$%#s then don't come crying to us if you lose your home, your job, your health coverage or your relatives get shipped off to war. Anyone who votes republican after these last 8 disasterous years is a complete idiot.

as if the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are not enough, here comes Palin and her spectacular ignorance on peace and conflict issues !

ENOUGH OF PALIN ! Ship her back to Alaska ! Immediately !!!!!!!

Barbara, she was so far from "right" it was scary. She is running for the next to highest office in the land. She should have at least been able to answer coherently. This shows her lack of knowledge of government issues and foreign policy.

"We can't second guess our allies, Charlie"-

A crash course in foreign policy is just not enough. We are trying to elect leaders of one of the most powerful countries in the world, not a church leader. We need someone well versed on foreign policy - not "spitting" out prepared "talking points".

Yes, Sarah did an excellent job, given the circumstances. The loaded "Bush doctrine" question reminds me of President Ronald Reagan's "Peacemaker" missile. It's both, a "peacemaking device" and a "deadly missile," depending on who is asking, a Republican or a Democrat. Questions as these should not be asked of a honorable lady who has a thousand more important things on her head ... starting with America!

I'm convinced now. This type of rhetoric is instilled at birth. Oh my! lmao
I now know why the Democratic ticket is fighting for adequate education. hahaha
Some of you McPalin supporters are red as beets trying to make sense of a ding bat.
So this is REALLY the level of intellect that lead to the downfall of this country. Well now I know why you guys wanted us to do all the work. Y'all couldn't figure it out. lol hahaha

Please! When Gibson asked her what she thought it was she said "His view of the world". That was incorrect. A doctrine is always a dictate or series of dictates, a principle or series of princles that prescribe how one approaches a particular subject or situation. It is never a "view of the world". Once Gibson mentioned preemptive war, then she did better. It was a little garbled, but it was an average person's description of Bush's policy of preemptive war.

Had she asked if he meant the preemptive war part or considering countries that harbor terrorists equally as guilty as the terrorists themselves or any of the other facets of the policy, then I wouild say she was familiar with the term. Whether or not she is to be expected to know all the ins and outs of The Bush Doctrine, one would hope she would know the definition of the word 'doctrine' since she did graduate from J school and should have a command of the English language.

Interesting, she pork-stuffed her travel claims' per diem. If she were in the US Army, she would be court marshalled and go straight to prison for such a crime.

She is more of a Earth hater and killer than even ole Bush, who is going down in history as this nation's most rapacious Earth killer! Palin is as qualified to be a vp candidate as a mannequin [sp] in a second-hand clothing store. Cheap, low class and real human trash.

1.Her wanting for Alaska to succeed from the Union
It Has been PROVEN that SHE was never a member of that party. Todd Palin WAS for a few years.

2.Teaching Creationism in the schools.

Wrong again. She wants ALL theories discussed. Can creationism even be discussed today?

3.Censorship of books in libraries – wanting to remove certain books from libraries and wanting to fire a librarian who refused to do so.

She wanted certain books removed from the children's section that contained innapropriate language

4.Opposes teaching sex education in school. Pretty ironic since her daughter is pregnant at 17 years old and single.

But was it taugt in her school? Before you throw stones, look at barry's mom. Same thing happened.

5.The case where she fired the head of the state police because he would not fire her brother-in-law who was involved in a tough divorce with her sister.

Still being investigated. But we know what the results will be, as barry's supporters are doing the investigating.

If true, then how can the left say she is a Bush follower and she would be more of Bush?

Apparently she is just as dumb as he is!!!

I would hazard a guess that there are a lot of Bush followers that don't understand what the man's policies actually entail. It's the only way to explain why they still support him, unless they are rabid hawks like Rummie or Cheney.

It was credible. I don't care if Ernie and Bert would've interviewed her. She has about as much knowledge as those droppings I scoop up behind my Labradore Retriever. My "Buddy" has eyes like a wolf and Sarah the killer would have him hunted and shot too. How about we give Mike Vick a shot a VP too. :smh:

So your saying she sounded intelligent during her interview? Even the republician analysts said she messed up!!!!

And please do tell what ideas she has to fix any of the major problems in this country? Because I haven't heard her say anything that would make me believe she actually has a plan or should be trusted to come up with one.

That is exactly what she said. cholla. When Gibson first asked her what she thought it was she said, "His world view". Did you watch the interview, cholla? I suggest you go back and read the transcript or watch the video before you call someone else a liar.

Here, I'll help you, since you don't seem able to help yourself...

GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush -- well, what do you -- what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: His world view.

You can apologize now.

Cramming does not help. Experience is the best teacher, as the saying goes. And shes got none required for the VP job.

You are all wrong when you criticize Mrs. Palin on not knowing what is Bush doctrine!? No one knows! Mr. Bush has no doctrine! The rumors that hit the airwaves about the Bush doctrine were solely for foreign consumption! The Democrats never understood this! They made it into a second Bible ... against Bush. Some kind of "waco doctrine"! It's all politics! I have several graduate degrees and speak fluently four laguages (probably better than some of you speak English). But if someone asked me out of the blue about Bush doctrine, I would most certainly reacted in a very similar way Mrs. Palin did! I would be annoyed at first, and then I would seek clarification! Why are you making a mountain from a mole? It is the heart that you should scrutinize in Mrs Palin, not her knowledge of a changing ephemeron, a fleeting political jargon!

Desert, you are incorrect. If this Neanderthal is going to assume the responsibility of this entire nation as vp, heart is as irrelevant as her beauty status. Herein is the problem; it is her intellect, worldview and knowledge that should be challenged, certainly not her heart.

Personally, I don't even think she possesses a heart as well, the way she blows the faces off elk and wolves? She is scientifially illiterate and does not realize that wolves and elk are biodiversity, the living components that create, support, sustain and maintain Earth's ecosystems, i.e., all the reasons you are alive. Evidently, you may be fluent in a few languages but are stuck in the dark regarding the biogeochemistry of Earth and the ecology of your ecosystem dependent planet.

As far as her status of literacy in this vital science, she rests at the bottom of the barrel. Even Bush is a better Moses than this Earth-hating, planet butchering Neanderthal. A Jackie Kennedy, this broad, ain't! She is a science phobic and illiterate in the most critical science of this century.

I suppose that barry's hobby of snorting coke and smoking reefer is a legitamite pasttime? Have you ever been to Alaska? The wolf population is HUGE. They will kill anything they see. Perhaps if they are not hunted the caribou population will drop and there won't bee a need for a waste of open space like ANWAR. Then we can drill there.

You see hunting as immoral. I see barry's drug use as immoral.

Are ou by any chance an Earth Firster? ALF? ELF? You sound like one.

Let's not dwell on gloom and doom scenarios, what if this, what if that. America is not run by the Presidents or Vice-Presidents! They are powerful, important , representative figures, yes. But there are thousands of advisers they listen to before they act! I prefer a Mrs. Palin on the helm, than someone who is very schooled and bright, but lacks moral direction! Morality is everything in a President! Mrs. Palin has a proven record of right moral decisions! This why I trust her!

Right moral decisions? Are you F*&king crazy? She is under investigation for trying to get a state trooper fired, she has an unwed 17 year old pregnant daughter... AWESOME MORAL GOOD CHRISTIAN VALUES!!!!!!! She at the very least tried to get books banned from the library... I guess that's her version of the LAND OF THE FREE!!!! What a joke!!!!

Desert, are you aware that the president of the USA is concurrently attempting to gut the most vital legislation ever crafted in the history of this nation, the only law that stands that protects this nation's ecosystems, i.e., your life-gifting systems? What is moral about an idiot that only knows how to kill the living, physical body of our Earth? This is not only unethical and unreasoning, but pure suicide for mankind. This isn't gloom and doom, a label some low-IQ invented to cause more and more brainwashing and dumbing down of the masses. This is science.

Our planet is struggling under the weight of human too muchness. If you don't agree with this assessment, then you don't know the science of ecology. Morality, when mankind is facing not only global warming, but world food shortages, dying and oxygenless marine ecosystems, and mankind is burying and slathering the face and living body of planet Earth with hot, hot cities and hot, hot concrete. Morality, while human hordes are scrambling the biogeochemistry of Earth that loops from the seas to the land that govern the nitrogen and carbon cycles that are life itself!

Each day, mankind pushes more and more of the strands in the web of life extinct, and this web is your home, your oxygen and fresh water factories, and everything that stands between you and the deadly pathogens in YOUR food chain that cause global disease pandemics, and some of these viruses are capable of wiping out almost every human on Earth. Morality.

It is Earth that needs a little morality and not another Earth killing machine like Palin. The ark was not deployed for nothing; He didn't send a fetus ship. He saved Holy Creation, Almighty Creation because he knew the science of the ecology of Earth, and that dum dum science illiterates would slaughter his Creation. Morality! Earth is dying, and if you don't agree with this, then you are incapable of comprehending all the scientific reasons you are currently getting oxygen, and it isn't anything based on morality or voodoo or black magic.

Sir(maam).... very eloquently stated.... I know white trash, and you, sir(maam?), are no white trash...

Gibson was chosen because he was the friendliest to conservatives, short of Fox News.

Most of the questions were simple, basic queries into what her policies would be on several well-known international hotspots. If he had asked her about Armenia or the indigenous polulations in the Amazon, I would understand why she wouldn't be that familiar with the subject matter. To ask her about Israel, Iraq, Iran, Georgia and Russia is foreign policy 101.

Larry, brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Heay, did you hear about all the pork on her travel claims? She porked up her per diem.

Your post hit its intended target and brought a smile to many a sad face, a jaw dropping face because of this Neanderthal. I wonder what Jesus thinks of Palin?

Am bringing the popcorn, beer, sausages, barbecue and all. This is going to be fun.

Heay, you two, great minds think alike -- don't forget to invite me. Can we roast a pig too. I'll buy the beer if you two furnish the pig. lol's

Three cheers for Biden!

Are barry's supporters any different? All you see is the color of his skin.

Yeah, reasonable is from the root of reason, which is a strong indicator of basic, inherent IQ; therefore, it would be totally unreasonable for Kitchol to refer to the word reason as they possess none. If you don't have it, you can't get it. Get it, Kitty and ole Chol?
