Sarah Palin, Republican Vice-Presidential Nominee, Plugs Romney, Paul — But Not McCain — In MTV Interview Published by MTV News on Friday, August 29, 2008 at 1:58 pm.

Back in February, on Super Tuesday, MTV News Street Teamer Dani Carlson did a Flixwagon interview with Alaska Governor — and now presumptive Republican vice-presidential candidate — Sarah Palin, who had some interesting things to say about energy policy and the “party machinery.”

In this interview, Palin calls controversial Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul “cool.” “He’s a good guy,” she added. “He’s so independent. He’s independent of the party machine. I’m like, ‘Right on, so am I.’ ”

So what's she doing getting chummy and on a ticket with somebody who is Ron Paul's exact opposite on every single issue?

That's a good question. How could someone who likes Ron Paul, who is supposedly on the same page, run with someone who is almost the exact opposite of Ron? Doesn't make sense.

She evidently has the stones to get in the game and hope to make a difference for the better.

If she's not there, she can't do anything for our country.

She's not stupid, this lady is a player who is ready for the big show.

She's a player, alright. Too bad it ain't a game.

Why are you so mopey and grumbly about Palin? Sheesh! You have been making snide comments about her all day. Are you an Obama-Biden voter or something? Or are you a McCain supporter who thinks he could have done better than Palin? What's your problem with Palin as VP? It's not like McCain is God's gift to America and now he's picked an inferior who will bring him down and hold him back.

McCain is a IsraelFirster warhawk who is a shameless leftie on social issues and shamnesty. McCain's a RINO par excellence. He even contemplated crossing the aisle and joining the Dems after he lost out to Junior for the 2000 GOP Pres election.

Obama is an Affirmative Action baby, an intellectually shallow empty suit, an inexperienced political candidate who is a for real re-distribution of wealth Marxist. He'd guns and butter America to death and with all his talk about the "obligation" of young America to do National Service, read between the lines why don't you - Obama is not allergic to the idea of Conscription, which is fedgov slavery of males ages 18-26.

Obama has picked Biden who is every bit a warhawk like McCain and he's a plagiarist - what does that tell you about Biden's personal ethics, he's capable of doing anything even stealing ideas and selling them as his own - because he has no original ideas.

So Palin is not the worst of the 3 Pres/VP candidates before us. She's no Ron Paul but so what - there's no one like Ron Paul on America's political landscape.

I don't understand your personal upset with Palin frankly. What did you expect from McCain's VP pick - Jesus Christ?

Neither McCain nor Obama are good for America - they're both terrible. But at least you might have some fun speculating on the strategy of McCain vs Obama instead of taking this Palin pick so hard, it's like the cat ate your breakfast or something.

I got bad news for you - the Pres election year has become a game - a game of egos jostling one another for power on Capitol Hill - there's nothing good in it for America. The best America can hope for is gridlock so the dupes sent to the WH are check-mated by the opposing dupe party holding the majority in Congress. End of story.

I see her selection as tainting her for a run in the manner of say, a Ron Paul......someone who stands for something we all here most generally seem to want the mostest--America First, blah blah.

She could have been a young leader in Paul's mold, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

Thanks for the clarification, dee.

Actually apart from what I read here today I never knew Palin had expressed admiration for Ron Paul in the past.

I don't know much about Palin except what I had read several months or more ago when it was first reported in Google news that she was a young Governor who had recently given birth to a Downs child. This peaked my curiosity at the time and as I read more about her I thought she was a very interesting political figure and someone to watch.

Then when McCain was looking for a VP, her name immediately popped to my mind somply from the perspective of who I'd counsel McCain to pick if I were his campaign manager - because Palin would cancel out some of his weaknesses - lack of executive experience, leftie social leanings, old age, old boy's club Beltway membership.

But whether she's a Ron Paul acolyte and whether she should have saved herself for the future rather than soiling herself with the McCain ticket association, I I have not researched her in depth to know if she is a Ron Paul type of person.

As to the question of whether or not she has soiled herself assuming she is worthwhile candidate in the Ron Paul mold, I don't believe she will suffer by being associated with McCain. Palin is getting tons of attention now solely because she is a VP pick. Otherwise she might have never gotten this exposure without prostituting herself, figuratively speaking. All this media spotlight has landed on her lap without her politicking for it on the Beltway like Hillary and Geraldine Ferrarro had to do.

Look at it this way - Palin did not seek McCain out. She did not use dirty tricks and compromise herself over the years to get McCain's nod. McCain selected her from the far away state of Alaska because he needed her strengths and she did not bring bad baggage to him - she did not solicit McCain. So actually it's a good sign IF indeed she is a Ron Paul follower - she's broken onto the national scene without any sleazy efforts on her part and to boot, maybe she may very well have the opportunity in the WH to bring a spotlight to Ron Paul's positions, if she's the real deal.
