Alaska GOP Governor Sarah Palin’s Monday interview with CNBC

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was interviewed by Maria Bartiromo of CNBC on Monday of this week about energy and national security in Alaska. Of course, this was before she was named John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate.

The entire interview is here at CNBC.

Note how Palin SLAMS Senator and Democrat Vice President nominee Joe Biden for thirty years ago being a naysayer and voting no on the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline.

Flap can hardly wait until Sarah Palin debates Slow Joe this fall.

From the Press Release e-mailed from a little bird:

email header left Sarah Palin Watch: Florida Democrats Slam Palin As Dangerous Right Winger email header right Sarah Palin Watch: Florida Democrats Slam Palin As Dangerous Right Winger

Dear Friends,


John McCain rolled the dice with his VP pick today – in an attempt to woo women voters.

But we cannot gamble with women’s lives.

Don’t let your friends, family and co-workers be fooled: Alaskan Sarah Palin is a dangerous right-winger who lacks the judgment to lead.

In 2000, Palin endorsed Pat Buchanan for President. Yes, that Pat Buchanan.

In 2006, Palin ran for Alaska Governor on a message of change – and then turned out to be just another corrupt Alaska politician who’s now under investigation in her own state.

She’s no Hillary Clinton. She’s Dan Quayle in a dress.

Women voters who care about equal rights, choice, family and other issues, will not see a partner in Palin.

Help us fight for these issues by electing Democrats up and down the ticket. Click here to donate today:

She is lockstep with Bush and McCain on issues important to women. Every one of them. That’s scary.

The corrupt trio of Ted Stevens, Don Young, and Lisa Murkowski all raised campaign money for Palin.

John McCain claimed that Barack Obama lacked experience. Then he picked a VP who has just 20 months at the helm of a state with a population smaller than the city of Jacksonville, and zero foreign policy experience. Palin would be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Barack Obama is ready to lead. Last night he showed us what the next American President will look like. He and Joe Biden will deliver change we need.

The stakes are too high to risk another four years of the same. If you have $25, $50 or $100 to spare, please contribute today to the Florida Democratic Party’s campaign to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. We’re on the verge of major change in Florida, but we need your help.

Contribute today.

Sincerely,

Does anyone think these arguments will fly?

First, I never remember Pat Buchanan bombing the United States Capitol or saying God Damn America, now did he?

And, besides, Flap was a Team Buchanan member in 1992 and running for President in the GOP.

The Florida Democrats think what about Tony Rezko, a convicted federal felon raising money for Obama?

Stay tuned……

2809172374 585c078466 o John McCain Watch: Obama Attacks Sarah Palin

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain at Ohio announcement rally of the McCain-Palin Republican ticket for President and Vice President

Team Obama has been mocking and belittling Alaska Governor Sarah Palin ever since John McCain named her as his Vice Presidential running mate.

First, after spending the entire campaign talking about how experience isn’t everything, Barack Obama, who’s never held a full-time job for four years, cannot start hitting her on inexperience.

Rove just called the response “petty and small,” and boy, this is going to just further convince the Pumas that sexism drives the Obama campaign.

A poor move?

A stupid move.

Here is the Team McCain response:

“It is pretty audacious for the Obama campaign to say that Governor Palin is not qualified to be Vice President. She has a record of accomplishment that Senator Obama simply cannot match. Governor Palin has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska and actually achieving results — whether it’s taking on corruption, passing ethics reform or stopping wasteful spending and the ‘bridge to nowhere.’ Senator Obama has spent his time in office running for President.” –Jill Hazelbaker, McCain Communications Director

Stay tuned….

2808315949 6241d393e3 o Sarah Palin Selected As John McCains Vice Presidential Running Mate

It is Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska.

See Flap’s posts on Sarah Palin here.

The official Team McCain press release.

U.S. Senator John McCain today announced that he has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate and to serve as his vice president.

Governor Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president. She has brought Republicans and Democrats together within her Administration and has a record of delivering on the change and reform that we need in Washington.

Governor Palin has challenged the influence of the big oil companies while fighting for the development of new energy resources. She leads a state that matters to every one of us — Alaska has significant energy resources and she has been a leader in the fight to make America energy independent.

More later……..
