2. Palin: Don't 'second guess' Israel
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (09.26.08)
I am with her 100 %
3. "It Ain't Funny Bunnie"

4. Palin
Millicent ,   Israel(formerly Fl)   (09.26.08)
I am crossing party lines to vote MCain & Palin, they're the best choice as far as Israel is concerned! Those who vote Obama are endangering Israel's national security by doing so! ...heaven forbid should Obama get elected and something happen to him Biden is worse, he's always putting his foot in his mouth at every turn, is that who you want as President?
5. I like the lady,shes all soo cute .Shes
Eric..... ,   Israel......   (09.26.08)
got my vote.I think Sarah and McCain are much better for Israel than the other guy.They also know that the muslim world is a threat to world peace. The Christian world better wake up.
6. Makes you wish Palin was at the top of the ticket
K Mathews ,   Maryland, USA   (09.26.08)
I hope McCain listens to Palin if he gets elected. She may not be experienced in the corrupt politics of Washington but is that a bad thing? She has common sense, a good heart and my vote.
7. Voting Obama as A Jew would be really stupid!
Jamie ,   Begium   (09.26.08)
8. Knowing the "good guys" and the "bad guys"
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (09.26.08)
Says Palin, "It is obvious to me who the good guys are in this one and who the bad guys are." Most Americans would agree. They don't buy "moral equivalence", or "cycle of violence". They don't buy "they're all responsible". There was a moment of moral clarity after the heinous attacks of 9/11. There was a similar moment after Bush' June, 2002 statement that the US would only support the Palestinians if they abandoned terror and adopted democratic norms. Since those times, everything is nuanced, not black and white but grey. Full of doubts and lacking confidence, it's no wonder we in the West are floundering. It's nice to have a taste of that moral clarity again.
9. Palin is AWESOME!
Sally ,   Boston   (09.26.08)
Sarah Palin is a smart cookie. She and McCain definitely get my vote!
10. Hey Babe, if things don't work out over there,
Sarah'le For PM!   (09.26.08)
why not come here - we need your type to run the country! Palin for rosh ha memshala!
11. Me hope and pray, Lady Palin not speak with forl tongue.
Vicky ,   Ashkelon, Israel   (09.26.08)
12. The end of the interview - jews4palin
Howard Richman ,   Kittanning USA   (09.26.08)
The end of the interview was riveting and is being cited by Palin's opponents as proof that she holds a simplistic view of the world. I don't find Palin's view at all disturbing, perhaps because I totally agree with it! Here's what Palin said: "It is obvious to me who are the good guys are in this one and who are the bad guys are. The bad guys are the ones who say, 'Israel is a stinking corpse and should be wiped off the face of the earth.' That's not a good guy who is saying that. Now, one who would seek to protect the good guys in this, the leaders of Israel and her friends, her allies, including the United States, in my world, those are the good guys.

13. incoherent
sarah ,   longwood, USA   (09.26.08)
listen to the interview - palin didn't even understand the question and her answer was consequently stumbling and incoherent - it would have been funny if it wasn't so scary
14. It's Really That Simple
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.26.08)
Sometimes, in this world of nuanced gray, a genuinely good person simply says 'there are good guys and and bad guys.' The lefties will surely pounce upon Sarah with all the vitriol they can muster. Just wait. They cannot countenance simple moral clarity. Their world is the gray Kultursmog of moral equivalence. "What naivete! There is no right and wrong. The monkey President of Iran has at least as legitimate a right to express his desire to vitiate Israel as Israel has to defend itself." "Seeing as Israel is an occupying entity, in our liberal lens on the world, their right to defend themselves is ...well...conditional" Yes, Sarah Palin and John McCain are Israel's - and by extension - freedoms last, best hope. The Lone Ranger(ette) rides again! Super(wo)man...able to leap tall buldings in a single bound! Truth Justice and the American Way! (music fade)
15. you have got to be kidding
eric ,   jerusalem   (09.26.08)
did any of you people actually see the interview? she contradicted herself when answering this and seemed like she didnt have a clue what was going on.first she said she wouldnt second guess, then she basically said the opposite.the woman is an imbecile.its all on youtube. check out her bumbling answer about her foreign policy credentials. the interviewer seemed like she would do a better job. wake up, she has no experience and will just be a puppet for her advisors.
16. Hey Vicky (11), it's 'forked'-tongue!
no spika de Englis? ,   LOL!   (09.26.08)
. . . hoo hooo hooo . . !
17. #16, Me know me make error.
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (09.26.08)
Simply did not check my own typing as I was in a hurry to get ready for Shabbat. Beg humble forgiveness! Perhaps Livni should take note of Palin and follow her lead. Israel first allies second,Third, trash were it belongs.
18. What happened to the commom sense of the Americans ?
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (09.26.08)
American pressure on Israel to destroy Jewish towns, exile their residents and give up land has resulted in "Hamas control over Gaza, catastrophe for 2,000 families, and allowing our enemies, Islam, to become stronger and present a major threat to millions of Jews... and the West. It is not acceptable for the US, at the same time that it fights terrorism on one front, to pressure Israel to give in to terrorists on another front!" It seems that the US want to get rid of its only faithful ally in the M-E, Israel, as explained at : http://xrl.us/i4sge
19. blind to the pandering are we?
Noah ,   Boston, USA   (09.26.08)
g-d. are you all so pandered to that easily? you're all so easily played. palin has been indoctrinated by policy advisors for the past two weeks coaching her what to say. her views are those of neo-con idealogues advising the mccain campaign. granted, if this is what you like, so be it. but if you think she has anything of substance from previous experience, you're out of your mind. i for one am terrified of her winning the VP seat... how about looking at her track record and her complete lack of experience regarding anything north of the Yukon? but its okay, vote for her, and see what happens to this country which is already dealing crisis in multiple realms... while your at it, ask her how she feels about the rapture as well.
20. McCain and Palin are beyond stupid....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (09.26.08)
His grasp on any important issue is pathetic - he's a doddering old fool. And she just babbles on and on....doesn't understand half the questions she's being asked. Sorry folks, McCain/Pailin would be a disasster for the US for us and for the rest of the world. Gobama! Its the only hope we have of cleaning up the Bush mess.
21. Shes an ignorant fool
rekky ,   USA   (09.26.08)
You read a couple of lines that she's stated, that were spoon fed to her over the past few weeks and you're in love with her. All you have to do to understand Palin is watch the ENTIRE interview that she had with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric and your opinion of her will take a 180 degree turn. She is ignorant about world affairs and can't put enough words together to make a coherent response to questions. I bet that 95% of the readers of Ynet have a better grasp of what is going on in the world world than she does.
22. Pathetic people happen to be smart people
Jen ,   Bethesda MD   (09.26.08)
Your comment is so stupid that it is not worth arguing - McCain can only get people like you to vote for him. The rest of world will vote for Obama
23. Hey # 21 I did listen to the whole cut up interview
Marty ,   USA   (09.26.08)
and it was Gibson who played the fool. He asked her opinion of the Bush doctrine and she asked in what respect. Fool, there are three different versions. It was Gibson who didn't have a clue.
24. 13# Sarah Let me explain it to you.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.27.08)
She said don't trip over a suicide bomber... because that is bad. She said don't hang out with a mass murdering leaders... of a fascist country...that's bad too. She said Jews get to box back.....they aren't the Arabs and Persians punching bags anymore. She said....Don't negotiate with bullies. It's pretty simple...don't cower in front of your enemies, like Obama plans on doing.
25. 20# Bush bombs and leaves a mess.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.27.08)
Obama runs and hides like a pansy. I'd rather have the mess myself.
26. Suppose...
Roy ,   USA   (09.27.08)
Suppose there was a US presidential election, and the Liberal-left news media was FORCED by law to be impartial? What would happen?They would all quit, and there would be NO news media personalities spinning things for the Democrats!! Someone needs to start "emergency legislation..." NOW!
