The question doesn't really count. It came from a voter.

The answer doesn't really count; nobody was supposed to be listening.

Couric: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?
Palin: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie - that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.
Couric: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.
Palin: He's also known as the maverick though, taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about - the need to reform government.
Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?
Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.
Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.
Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.
Now it's my turn to ask the regulation hungry Katie Couric and her biggest fan Rochelletoo a question...

For 20 years the ersatz messiah Barack Obama sat on his self-serving behind and exposed himself and his family to the anti-American racist filth spewed by his mentor and pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright...
Would you agree with the fact Rev. Jeremiah Wright regulated Barack Obama for 20 years? Yes or No?

Answer the question or will both of you need time to get back with me?

Palin will tear the bumbling Senator Biden a new one.

There's a reason that DA lost two Presidential bids.

Sarah Palin says her "Yes" answer to John McCain in response to being offered the VP nomination for the GOP, which appeared to contradict the position of selecting a qualified running mate for John McCain, was a response to a "gotcha" question.

The stock market lost a trillion (that's right, TRILLION)dollars today. Wonder if Palin thought it was seven hundred dollars? Could be another "gotcha" question for her...frustrating...

Give me a break you nutbar!
Every preacher I've seen spouts crap as their living. "The world is 6000 years old!"
"Noah fit every living thing on Earth on a little tiny boat!"
"Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt right before he impregnated his two daughters in a cave!"
And you have issues with a preacher talking about modern racism? Whether or not you agree with Wright, at least he's talking about something that's real.
wow
