Comments on: Palin Debates “Can I Call You Joe?” http://northshorejournal.org/palin-debates-can-i-call-you-joe An on-line magazine supporting the Ninth Amendment Fri, 25 May 2012 14:03:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: interpill http://northshorejournal.org/palin-debates-can-i-call-you-joe/comment-page-1#comment-15313 interpill Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:23:20 +0000 http://northshorejournal.org/?p=8615#comment-15313 Joe Biden did a superb job. He deftly stopped Palin from distorting Obama’s views. He won the tax cut argument– Democrats usually don’t. He won the health care argument; Palin just gave up. She wouldn’t — couldn’t — answer the questions; she wanted to talk about energy, which she’s supposed to know something about, but she even lost on that . Often she didn’t know or couldn’t say what McCain’s policy is. And on foreign policy, she must have been staring out the window when she sat down with Henry Kissinger. She “loves” Israel but can’t discuss mideast realities in one inch depth. She can’t even articulate basic conditions for the use of nuclear weapons. Palin relied on topline phrases and had little command of facts. Why, she even memorized the name of the President of Iran. But it was mostly blah, blah, blah. At the end, the Obama-Biden ticket is far ahead on the big issues — and Palin’s a parrot repeating memorized phrases, not a plausible vice-president. Biden called her on it every time.
