Palin tells East Carolina University crowd that she wanted to watch the debate with “real” Americans

http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/10/08/palin-weighs-in-on-mccains-debate-performance/

Sarah Palin watched her running mate’s debate and told a huge crowd at East Carolina University that she wanted to watch with “real” Americans, “I wanted to come to Greenville so I could watch the debate from here with a whole lot of real Americans, hard working Americans because you guys get it.”

She went to local sports bar and pizzeria, “Boli’s on the Boulevard” with North Carolina Senators Richard Burr and Elizabeth Dole. Wearing an East Carolina University jacket, she intently watched the debate and with a blackberry in her left hand and pen in her right took notes throughout her running mate’s face off with Barack Obama.

When John McCain mentioned “energy independence,” Palin gave a short “woo hoo” and began writing feverishly.

At the conclusion of the debate Palin praised her running mate, “He’s proposing real plans that will work for economic recovery and energy independence. I think Barack was even less candid than usual, which I was kinda surprised. But McCain has fought on and sounded very energized, and–and it was a good night for him, for all of us, for all of America.” Palin said, “Taking this message of reform on the road and just having it resonate more and more every day is what I believe is happening. And it’s good. It’s very good.”

7. Keep telling yourself that, Paliban.
I'm absolutely positive you can make yourself believe it.

9. Sarah, you ignorant s*&^!
Every American citizen is a fucking real American! I've had enough of your smears against those who don't march in lockstep with you! I will cheer so loudly on November 4th, when a whole lot of fucking real Americans send you right back to wherever the hell you came from, that you'll be able to hear it no matter where you are at the time.

12. I'm surprised Palin hasn't hired Michelle Malkin as her advisor
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 11:24 AM by lib2DaBone
I've been in Greenville. Grady-White Boat Factory is there. Nice little town. I'm surprised Liddy Dole even knew where it is located.. usually, Liddy is too busy stuffing cash in her pocket from the Red Cross or some other charity.

14. Sarah Poodle is a perfect reflection of the bigots who find her appealing.

15. So I'm not a "real American"?
WTF. At least I wasn't supporting a political party that hated everything America stands for and wanted to secede and start their own country.

18. Why is she always in bars? She also watched the first debate in a bar.
Isn't that kind of odd? She couldn't find a debate party at someone's house?

I have nothing against bars, it just seems like a really odd theme they got going there.

19. Wait, what?!
So, going to a bar with two current senators to watch your "running mate" fall flat on his face is watching it "with 'real' Americans"? What the hell?!?!

So, what part of that is going with "real Americans"? The bar? So, Sarah, you're saying that the only "real Americans" are those bar regulars? Surely you are not.

Going to a college town? Well, Sarah, that completely contradicts what you imply. You want to get to know the blue-collar voters, not the "liburl elite" that live in college towns.

And, going to see the debate with both North Carolina senators makes it more "real"? Sorry, Sarah, you are just making yourself look more foolish than before.

I didn't think you had it in you. You made a complete fool of yourself with your acceptance speech, especially when you refused to learn a new one after the Obama campaign made the "pit bull with lipstick" analogy look as stupid as really is. Your campaign make you look even more imbecilic by hiding you away from the media. You surpassed your expectations of the levels of "moran" with your Gibson and Couric interviews. And, then, you looked like uninformed, robotic, cold, and just plain stupid in front of Sen. Joe Biden. Now this?! Normally, I have hope that people will learn from their mistakes. But, that requires learning, which you apparently haven't quite grasped the concept.

Sarah Palin, please be quiet and go back to Alaska. You'll help John McCain by doing that. And, isn't helping the presidential nominee the real purpose of the vice presidential candidate?
