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 interview:
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] Hot Air Blog Archive Did Gibson have a double standard for Palin? Update: ABC’s edits Even though the two interviews were clearly different -one intended to lob some softballs for one candidate, and the other hoping to embarrass and discredit the VP candidate from the other ticket -people aren't stupid. Even though Democrats and the liberal media believe they are and will believe whatever they tell them to believe.
People can see which person was dealt the tougher questions -AND the motivation for the stark difference in questions. The majority of people in this country already believed that the media was intent on helping Obama win anyway, even before the Palin pick -and this only confirms that belief. For good reason. They are.
But if they do the same thing in the VP debate, people will be outraged about it which can only result in ANOTHER backlash -and not one that will benefit Obama. Maybe Obama's camp and the media haven't figured this out yet -but McCain LOVES this blatantly disparate treatment of Palin compared to Obama who wants an even higher office. At least McCain knows that people really aren't as stupid as the left believes. Too bad that is a founding premise of liberalism though -because I don't expect the liberal media to change a thing here. And McCain is certainly hoping they don't either. |

Gibson's hit piece (which I believe Obama was involved in, BTW) has backfired.
The Obama/Biden is melting down, and we have the pleasure of watching it happen right before our very eyes

The Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq war… as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us.” --Charlie Gibson, last night.
“The president in his speech last night, very forceful…He also outlined what is being called the Bush Doctrine, a promise that all terrorists organizations with global reach will be found, stopped and defeated.” --Charlie Gibson, 2001.
or maybe wiki?
"...the doctrine was articulated more fully in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, when President Bush declared that the United States had the right to treat countries that harbor terrorist groups as terrorist states themselves. This policy was used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001" I've got news for you. Every President in history has had the power and authority to a pre-emptive attack in order to prevent an enemy from attacking us first. And always will. Our Constitution is not a suicide pact no matter how many liberals squeal that is really is. Our Constitution doesn't demand that we must first have tens of thousands of dead before acting to protect the people of this country. If you think otherwise, you live in the wrong country -but I don't actually know of one that believes they must first have a bunch of dead people before taking their enemy's threats seriously. So I don't know which country you need to be in -but if you NEED to see tens of thousands of dead Americans first, it sure isn't THIS country.
As for the part about any country that finances or harbors terrorists being the same as the terrorists themselves -exactly which part of that do YOU find objectionable? Since international terrorists cannot survive at all without that kind of support from a government -what would you change about that? Bush got hit up broadside with reality -that we couldn't take on every single country that financed and harbored international terrorists all at the same time. But that sure as hell doesn't mean they aren't terrorist suppporting states and no better than the terrorists they are making sure can continue with their terrorist activities, does it?

That Gibson didn't actually know doesn't surprise me at all. It has been misstated so often by the left now, you'd think it means we get to bomb Canada for no other reason than we feel like it. |

Rep Power: 228 | | Here's what jumped out at me on the first reading: Quote: GIBSON: But, Governor, I'm asking you: We have the right, in your mind, to go across the border with or without the approval of the Pakistani government.
PALIN: In order to stop Islamic extremists, those terrorists who would seek to destroy America and our allies, we must do whatever it takes and we must not blink, Charlie, in making those tough decisions of where we go and even who we target.
GIBSON: And let me finish with this. I got lost in a blizzard of words there. Is that a yes? That you think we have the right to go across the border with or without the approval of the Pakistani government, to go after terrorists who are in the Waziristan area? He got lost in a blizzard of words and didnt think she answered is question ?
Sorry Charlie---I ain't buying the feigned confusion on this one.

Rep Power: 379 | | I read a suggestion to politicians to bring their own camera crew to any interviews, seems good advice when you read the unedited transcripts: The Mark Levin Show Gibson Interview
btw, I've never heard the Mark Levin Show, just found the transcripts there.
