Stewart: is Palin 'Dick-ish enough' to be vice president?

HAHA.

If you support Obama and you state experience as a reason to dislike Palin...you're either blind or ignoring the fact that Obama isn't better in that regard...same with his speeches.

and she's VP nod not Presidential nod. It matters not her experience. It only matters because people need to attack her because of how much help she is to the side they don't like. And it can be important because people can make whatever they want important...but for the job she's to do it isn't a matter of what she can do as President since that's not the job she's going to be doing.

Plus why take what a comedian has to say seriously?

I mean really jokes are nothing but jokes...they are not meant to be serious.

JJ, She is far less experienced than Obama. Period. As I have said before, she was a mayor of a city with about 5,000 people for about 4 years and a Governor of slightly over 500,000 people for less than 2. What about that resume says she's more experienced than someone who has been a STATE Senator?

But more importantly, explain to me what her speech said she was going planning to do once in office? Or perhaps you were too busy whooping and hollering while she doggedly attacked Obama...

Omg cheering someone insulting someone isn't fun? Oh so you watch John Stewart and just stare blankly? Please don't play me as naive to your dealings.

I don't care that she's "less" experinced. I'm sure that there are arguments for and against that and I heard them all. My point is that Obama doesn't have MORE than her. He's possibly slightly higher but not MORE.

And it's funny how you were probably justifying his "less" experience against Clinton but now harping on someone else's inexperience because it benefits you're side.

It's all disgusting behavior.

and her speech is just like Obama's speeches except they are not for your side.

There's no more info in it and no less.

JJ, I like your posts. You're as funny as Jon Stewart. It's nice to see someone with a sense of humor in all of the craziness of this election. He is a propoganda machine, but he is still funny, even when he is joking about my candidates. Hmmm, wonder if they saw him the other night when he had Brian Wilson on, although to his credit, Mr. Wilson showed humor too, even though I think it was a serious subject.

MarinesWife is that you JJammer?

*Sigh*... JJ, Jon Stewart is not running for vice president. Palin is. In addition, there is a difference between satirical comedy and insults. Stewart works in satire, so does Colbert. Therefore they are PAID to "insult" others- Palin insults Obama to win the election and the hearts and minds of conservatives.

I would have liked to know more about her plans and policies. Unfortunately, I happened to watch her convention speech where she did nothing but tell her life story and rip on Obama. Whereas, Obama actually made an attempt at telling people what he plans to do in office.

Also, you assumed to know my position on supporting Obama in the primaries, and made an ass out of yourself. Now, I will have to make an ass of myself.

I voted against Hillary becuase I did not feel she was the right canididate for the job. I could not trust her to uphold the office for the common person such as myself. Before I voted in the primaries, I even conteplated voting for Ron Paul on the Republican ticket. So I guess I'm not as much of a "Liberal Democrat" as you thought.

I'm sure you don't care that she's less experienced than Obama. However, for John McCain to make a big deal about Obama's experience then to tap Palin for VP, an unknown Governor from Alaska, it's pretty hypocritical.

And you wonder why I think it's impossible to convince Conservative Republicans to believe anything a liberal member says... It's because you believe you're never wrong and only believe what you want to hear.

jj....why would it matter, he's on a comedy network, his "news" is a parody of real journalism. maybe its a sign of how far journalism has fallen that's he's given so much respect. Even you seem to respect him as a newsman.

how silly...and sad

I respect him as funny not for news.

I don't respect news sources that hide their agenda.

He's for Obama and hides it under a guise of comedy. He's also smart to not make what he does actual news because then he'd be just as bad as FoxNEWS...so instead he keeps it the way it is and gets away with things news people can't.

He's smart and funny and extremely bias.

And it matters if it matters that a 17 year old is with child.

JJ he makes fun of both, chill.

I find nothing funny about protesters being beaten, but I find protesters who don't obey the guidelines of what they can and can't do in a public rally disgusting too. They are there just to rile young people such as yourself to think that any authority should not be recognized. Who do you call if you are in danger of being hurt, or if your home has been broken into, or if your family has been violated by hoodlums who find it funny to scare people, beat or kill them? But, you know what, those officers are paid less than most, yet they put their lives on the line everyday. Go ahead, spit of them, but they will be there for you if you need them, not the protesters.

Well if police are supposed to serve and protect then why were nearly 1000 people arrested during both parties conventions?

Don't tell me they ALL were being violent protesters...

Go hide behind your party and police lines that protects you from the dirty, violent protesters. Because eventually those same police that beat the young "vandals" you are so afraid of will turn their nightsticks on you.

No one is above the law. Not you, not the police, and not those politicians you're voting for. However, you seem to think those politicans you vote for are the only ones who deserve their rights upheld.

I hide behind no one. I just believe in obeying the law of the land, which includes non-violent protests.

I hoe you never need the police. It's a shame that you seem more afraid of the police, at least have less regard for them than you do terrorists, even protesters who would cause us harm if allowed.

It seems pointless to give you another point of view, so I will just wish you well.

In all honesty, I never have needed the police. After the past 6 months of seeing them abuse innocent people and protesters, I hope I never will.

Also, homegrown terrorism caused by the facist police state is far scarier than anything "The Taliban"(or as I like to refer to them as, the CIA) can cook up.

I'll politely wish you good day as well.

Yeah, try calling a cop if you need one. Their pat response is: "there's nothing we can do about it."

Ms. Murray, you would be in shock if you knew how little I I live on. I am a new widow, and my income is enough just to live on. Heck, I don't even own my home. But, you believe what you will, I am still doing just fine. Out of curosity, did you keep your stimulus check?

Yes, Ma am, I kept it. Sorry about your recent loss. Out of curiosity how can you support McCain? He voted against providing our troops with the needed funds and the new GI Bill. No veterans group endorses him because he has never supported the troops. He lied about their endorsement. Check and you will see.

You are awesome Marilynn!

Neither of the candidates are perfect, but I believe that McCain will not allow us to be overrun by the enemy. Despite what you feel about the war, we have not been attacked here since 9/11, and McCain knows what he went through as a POW, and he has been a Maverick in many areas. I will look at the GI Bill that he didn't vote for, but at this point, it is not going to change my mind. I don't like war either, but you know, sometimes it is a necessary evil, if you will. Another thing that I will remind you of is that we have a volunteer military, and I haven't seen anyone being dragged to the recruiting offices to enlist. If those in the services of our country were pre-war enlistees that believed they would never have to go to war, and that they would have a "cushy" job for whatever time they enlisted for should have stayed home in the first place, imo. Why do they keep enlisting? I don't understand the rationale of anyone who believes that anyone really wants to go to war, even our president, but what would you have us do... Sit here and have the enemy taking over our great country where we would not even be allowed to disagree on our politics as we are doing now? There is plenty of room for improvement on both sides of the aisle, but right now, I stand firm and feel good that I will be voting for McCain/Palin, and I support your right to vote for Obama/Biden. I simply disagree that they are right for our country at this time in a very critical time in our history. God Bless America!

we hadn't had a 9/11 until bush took office either. if you're going to give him credit, you also have to force him to shoulder the responsibility of his failure.

as to enlistment, they target young unemployed, relatively poorly educated people to serve overall. the army doesn't exactly cultivate or value intelligence in their grunts. of course even the grunts are catching on which is why they have begun to let in convicts and gang members.

and of course our economy has been tanking for 8 years....wealth inequality has grown and become entrenched, jobs are getting scarcer, education harder to attain, our rights granted by the constitution are gradually eroding because people like you are so afraid of commies and terrorists....

but yea! things are great and i think they should keep going the way they are. McCain/Palin 08/12/16

That's what John Kerry said.

Bush will only be in office for about 4 more months. As for his failures, he has to account for them. I actually don't have the "intel" to know whether or not everything that he has done has been right or wrong. If I believed everything I hear from the left-winged media, I suppose I might believe as you do, but I don't, and I refuse to march to their drums.

Are you one who believes in redistribution of weatth? Oh my. Those people who have earned their wealth, I say God Bless them. We should have been so insightful when we were young...we should have used our brains to make the money they have instead of sitting around saying how terrible it is that they have so much money. Since I am not rich, I have to spend wisely, and not above my means, and that means knowing how to manage what I have. The more welfare programs that are brought in, the more you and I are going to hurt (unless your are wealthy). It is not the wealthy that are hurting us, it is the left who believe that we need to support everyone, no matter what the circumstances. I believe in helping the elderly, the children and those who have impairments beyond their control, but not for those who are just to plain lazy to work for a living.

I agree that education is not so readily attainable, but look at what the kids are being taught...everything but the basics. If they were taught the 3 R's as we were when I was in school, education would not be such a problem. Half of the kids who graduate from school now can't spell, which means they don't have the tools to read and write with any sensiblity.The teachers who would like to teach can't because they are too busy being social workers, and then you have teachers who rewrite history, and the kids have no clue as to how this country was founded, and even who the VP is or anything about our government that even resembles the truth.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your assessment, but then you don't agree with me either. :)

Do you even realize what a very small slice of the overall budget "pie" goes to social programs, while the major slice (really the majority of the pie) goes to military and law enforcement? While you say you won't "march to [the liberal medias] drums," you certainly don't have any trouble swallowing the right-wing straw man arguments.

My husband is not living, but he served 20 years in the Marines, and served two tours in Viet Nam. As much as I miss him, I am glad that he is not here to see what's going own now. All the media hype over the the Republicans has got an awful lot of you convinced that Obama is the anointed one. I believe that he is a nice person (Obama) but don't believe he is any more qualified to be president than you or I. We don't need the government taking care of us. I don't believe in all of the welfare programs, which is the reason we are in the economic struggle that we are in now.

Actually, I am retired, and doing well. I am just old enough not to want the changes (higher taxes, playing footsy with the enemy etc) that Obama will do. Have a nice day.

Rational republicans,
and one is even a military wife! : )

then your not a democrat are you, you are either a conservative or a neo-conservative.

people such as yourself define hypocrisy. well done!

Thank you so much for bringing us the great hollowing out of the middle class that's occurred over last 28 years.

That is right but it is not AS dick-ish as shooting captured quail in a pen. It will take some more practice to be up to Cheney standards

And certainly not as "dickish" as shooting a friend in the face.

Stewart, Olbermann and Maher!! Me too...I love um!
