October 17, 2008 Palin speaks to reporters about Ayers, Wright, state of the race Posted: 04:30 PM ET From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby Gov. Palin spoke with reporters on her campaign plane Friday. MUNCIE, Indiana (CNN) – On a brief flight from Ohio to Indiana on Friday, Sarah Palin spoke to reporters traveling with her campaign for just the second time this election cycle. During a seven-minute back and forth with the press, Palin was asked why her campaign was focusing on Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers, even though Obama has much closer ties to his controversial former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The Alaska governor lamented Obama’s relationship with Wright, but said the decision to make it a campaign issue is John McCain’s. “He sat in the pews for 20 years and heard Rev. Wright say some things that most people would find a bit concerning,” she said. “But again that is John McCain's call.” Though the McCain campaign is being forced to defend traditional GOP strongholds like North Carolina and Indiana this late in the election season, Palin said “my input has been, let us get out there to as many states as we have time for.” “I think it's wise not to take anything for granted and assume that any state is a lock for either ticket,” she said. She also talked about what she meant when she said she enjoyed visiting "pro-America" areas, whether or not she believes Barack Obama loves America, and her upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live. The transcript of Palin’s full remarks are after the jump. SARAH PALIN AVAIL October 17, 2008 Flight from Ohio to Indiana ==== QUESTION: So how come you've dropped the attacks on Obama and Ayers lately? A: Well, I think that American voters are understanding that association — that it's OK to talk about fact. Of course, Barack Obama had been bringing it up, even in challenging John McCain on that, saying if you want to talk about it, talk about it, too, so McCain did that, and the association is out there. It's up now to the people of America to decide whether that association is important enough to them to research and find out more about a person's judgment and truthfulness. QUESTION: Just to follow up on that, you said that, you know, 'Obama doesn't see America the way you and I see America.' Do you think Obama loves America as much as you do? A: I know Obama loves America. I'm sure that is why he's running for president. It's because he wants to do what he believes is in the best interest of this great nation. I believe that our ticket can do a better job for America as we reduce taxes and reign in government and allow our private sector and our families to prosper, to grow, and to keep more of what they earn and produce so that they can reinvest according to our own priorities. I think that that is best to get the economy back on track. It's a better agenda for America. But I don't question at all Barack Obama's love for this great country QUESTION: It's unusual for a Republican campaign to be campaigning in North Carolina and Indiana halfway through October in an election year, are you concerned you are spending resources in states and places you shouldn't be? A: I think it's wise not to take anything for granted and assume that any state is a lock for either ticket, so if there were more hours in the day and more availabilities I would hope that we can be in even more states, even those that maybe we're down in, maybe those that we assume are a lock. I don't want to take anything for granted, and my input has been: let us get out there to as many states as we have time for. QUESTION: Governor, the Washington Post and Peggy Noonan both said independently today that you are unqualified to be commander in chief. How do you respond to that? A: Well, we talked a lot already about my executive experience that will be put to good use as vice president and if heaven forbid, anything happened to John McCain, if we're so blessed to be elected president and vice president, that executive experience will be put to good use, as coming from a mayor and a manager, small business owner and a governor and a regulator of oil and gas. That's important, but as important is the world view that I share with John McCain and the intentions that we have there to put in place policies that will put government back on the side of the American people and we'll win these wars and help secure our nation. Those things all put together will be put to good use and if I felt I was not ready I would never have said yes, I wanna take on this responsibility, this challenge, this opportunity to run for vice president as his partner. QUESTION: You talk a lot about voter fraud. How concerned are you guys about that and what can you do at this point when we're just 18 days out to kind of put any safeguards in place? A: I think voters are very concerned about voter fraud and as more and more revelation comes in these 13 states that are now under investigation for potential voter fraud, I think that more American voters are becoming very very concerned. There are safeguards already that are in place but evidently they're not being adhered to or implemented certainly in Ohio if the secretary there not seeming to desire to reassure voters that all securities are being taken care of to make sure that there is no, there's no fraudulent activity at all, that those who are registered to vote are eligible to vote. And obviously there's proof that that is not happening right now. So American voters are concerned about this, I'm concerned about it. QUESTION: Did you ask John McCain to bring up Reverend Wright more, and if so what did he say? A: No I have not asked him to bring it up. FOLLOW-UP: Do you think he should? A: It's up to him you know and what he chooses to discuss. I think that calling someone — an opponent on their record and even on their associations isn't — it's not mean spirited. It's not negative campaigning. It is fair to the electorate to have the discussion — the debate about someone's record and associations, but I haven't advised Senator McCain on who he should bring up and what his topics of discussion should be. QUESTION: How often during the day do you talk to Sen. McCain? A: A couple of times of day. And we really enjoy being able to campaign together, and I wish we could do more of that together, because we have I think some great synergy and really great chemistry and we get along so well, that not only is it very productive but it's also fun to be able to campaign with him. He's got so much energy and it's always a good time for all of our camps and our families to be together but we speak on the phone on the phone when we're snot physically there together campaigning together on the trail. FOLLOW-UP: What do you talk about? A: We talk about the news of the day, about what the issues are that seem to be resonating that, certainly, that you all are reporting on. And just a lot of reinforcement and encouragement of each other that again we are on the right track and explaining to all Americans our plans to reduce taxes and to get our economy back on track. They're great conversations, and very productive, very helpful for both of us. QUESTION: Are you excited for tomorrow night (SNL appearance)? Can you give us a preview? A: Oh man. I'm excited for tomorrow night. I have no idea what to expect because I haven't seen any scripts or anything else yet, but it will be fun. The opportunity to show American television watchers anyway that you get to have a sense of humor through all of this or even just this really would be wearin', tearin' on you so an opportunity to show that sense of humor and that side of all of this I look forward to it. QUESTION: Isn't Reverend Wright a lot more relevant than Bill Ayers? I mean, he sat in his pews for 20 years. A: That's up to John McCain to decide. That's true. He sat in the pews for 20 years and heard Reverend Wright say some things that most people would find a bit concerning. But again that is John McCain's call. QUESTION: Last night at the fundraiser you made a comment about the area being a pro-America area of the country. I was wondering if you could explain that a little bit more, what you meant by pro-America? A: Every area, every area across this great country where we're stopping and where also the other ticket is stopping and getting to speak at these rallies and speak with the good Americans, it's all pro-America. I was just reinforcing the fact that there, where I was, there's good patriotic people there in these rallies, so excited about positive change and reform of government that's coming that they are so appreciative of hearing our message, hearing our plan. Not, not any one area of America is more pro-America patriotically than others. QUESTION: Are you going back to Alaska to vote? A: We don't know what the plan will be yet on there if — if I'm not there physically we will be applying for that absentee ballot and we'll do the early voting there. Yeah. And we'll do it fairly. i really really really( composure lost) hate this bitch!

By the Way this seems to be a Good place to shamelessly plug my new thread that can be found in the lap-band talk lounge... go read post you know you want to.

but they aren't paying your part ... your still paying your part they are just paying more... because if we itemized what you use, and partake in and what they use, and partake in... then monetarily there bill would dwarf yours.

their part is determined by what you make ... you are forgetting if you are rich ... you can afford to give more with out feeling it.... i on the other hand feel every 25 dollars i send to uncle sam.

definitely.... i choose to look at it as you haven't seen the light yet...lol but on the subject of this thread... if i post the response i gave to the user who messaged me ... i dot a little bit more passionate with that ... i may post it later tonight... its more of an as i see it type of reply than what i opened the thread with... i hope it comes across as what its meant to be just a answer to a question.

your not the only one... and my apologies for my atrocious spelling.

*** sorry i meant to post something profound and ended up venting*** but thats not even the deal.... taxes are part of living in this country.... its called paying your dues... the wealthy can do more experience and live America more ... why not have they pay a little more to those who has to work harder and can only afford to live a little ... i mean God the selfishness is mind boggling... its a i got mine you can go @#$% off type of attitude. the fortunate should help the unfortunate .... it just that simple... no buts, exceptions, or excuses. we rise together we fall together.... i guess the wealthy just forgot all about that. and the fact is that they haven't been doing their fair share... because my boss is rich he gets to take the European vacation , drive the 645ci, have a main, summer and beach home, work less hours, get better perks and benefits, and pay 9% less taxes that me too... the hell with that selfish bastards obama is talking about taking wealthy people from 36% to 39% im !#$%ing at 42% as of last tax season and i make 88k less a year than he does and he still is complaining about higher taxes that under obama's plan he wouldn't even see. people like me Struggle to stay afloat and people still wanna give breaks and perks to the people who could most likely pay for it outright.... wth is going through peoples heads....they want vote for a person who will give tax breaks to a rich company over a individual whos trying hard or a family..... i need to stop before i get any angrier... plain thx for posing that questions .... i really needed to vent...

I have to know what is it that the Republican have shown us in the last 8 years makes people stand behind McCain so avidly what is going on. i mean putting republicans back in power is like asking the person that blackened your eye to hand you the ice to bring down the swelling.... WTF

i second that but plain my man look at the election... see any... oh i dont know similarities.

All good ...fixed my ears up with a little Lenny Williams followed by a double shot of teddy p and closed it all off with kanye, pac, and nirvana.... i know odd combo but it works

I was just thumbing through my massive music collection and i was starting to think that I've what i consider a soundtrack to life. songs that when you are about to get down to it would be the perfect songs to make love, have sex, fool around, or FUCK to. I have given a lot of thought to this subject and i have many but the aways seem to change according to the activities that i have listed above... each seems to have its own rhythm its own flow. ill start this thread with one a few of my own suggestions and people can follow in suite Foo Fighters - tired of you / F***ing Me'Shell NdegeOcello - Fool of Me / Making love JayZ - ni**** please / Having sex Guns N Roses - November rain / making love Prince - Purple Rain / making love So hopefully these give you and idea of what I'm talking about The songs done necessarily have to be about sex or love or anything like that... it may just be that the bass line ... a certain guitar solo.. or a part of the vocals would just be the perfect sound to accompany the act of what you are doing in the current moment. Thx in advance for the feedback

thanks that gives me a good idea... i haven't had acid reflux since getting banded which i guess is really good seeming as though it used to wake me up from my sleep. i cheated on my post op diet. not completely i just bent the rules and i was a lil paranoid about every little feeling and pain... so i get my first fill tomorrow so we will see what happens.

You know i am very eclectic i love everything from jazz to blues hip hop rap pop alternative rock in many forms and even a little classical, old school world reggae and recently i have found a liking to some group that is a fusion of a few types of music i have yet to identify. But i cant ever see myself listening to country... i don't know for some reason it has always been a game killer for me... as soon as that oh so familiar tune is played its like i am compelled by nature to leave the club/bar/ or party in search for a better venue.

How about we just say ill take your word for it.... i think of county and, yup... there it goes again ears bleeding.

that's because there arin't lies coming from both sides... there is a campaign based on integrity and there is a campaign based on lies bulshig and drama .... you tell me which is which

i just recently left a plateau and it was a it stressful just dont stop or panic ... just stay the course.

wait you get down with the get down.... to country, seriously... my ears are bleeding just thinking about it

:wub: Nice list lost a little with the queen of R&B..(rocks and blunts) but brought it back with the teddy p....
