Palin: "I've Got Nothing To Lose" In Attacking Obama

In an interview with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin explained her reasoning in going on the attack against Barack Obama. Asked why she was more "forceful" than her running mate, she said: "Rush, I've got nothing to lose in this and I think America's got everything to gain by understanding the differences, the contrasts here between Obama and McCain."

Watch:

Palin also argued that the media wants her to "sit down and shut up," before making an unprompted assault on Obama and ACORN.

Limbaugh: "The media is covering up for him. That is why there's so much admiration for you. The New York Times said you were a great speaker....your forcefulness and your opinions are driving away moderates. This is just an attempt to get you to stop."

Palin: "Well, yes, I guess that message is they do want me to sit down and shut up, but that's not gonna happen. I care too much about this great country. ... Speaking of some of those associations...lets talk quickly about ACORN and the unconscionable situation that we are facing right now with voter fraud, given the ties between Obama and ACORN and the money his campaign has sent them...Obama has a responsibility to reign in ACORN and prove that he is willing to fight voter fraud....for shame if the mainstream media were to cover this one up."

Asked if she had a political career beyond this election, Palin said, "That's a good question. No, because I am thinking about November 4th, and I am just so absolutely passionate about the job that we have in front of us from now to November 4th."

What are they talking about? "facing right now with voter fraud" Are they trying to blur the voter registration fraud with actual vote fraud? Registration fraud is to voter fraud as my canoe is to an aircraft carrier.

She also has nothing to offer in the way of intelligent input.

Her it-took-me­-6yrs-and-­5colleges-­to-grauate­-with- a-degree-brain can't tell the difference.

LOL FOH

I guess loosing your credibility and getting impeached is nothing, so much for "Palin in 2012"...lo­l.

If she would only lose her voice - that would be an improvement already since she most certainly wouldn't know how to write a coherent sentence. She'd make a great dictator for those who are into that kind of "government". I get nighmares imagining what it would be like to have her in charge. IT MUST NOT HAPPEN. VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!

This may come as a shock Sarah, but this election isn't about you -- it's supposed to be about our country -- remember that concept?
As for nothing to lose -- I think you are very very wrong.
For good or ill, girl, ever heard of scapegoats?

Good point!
Sarah doesn't realize she will be blamed for losing this election.
And Elephants are known for their long memories.

Nothing to loose?

Only the additional number of years it will take to repair the damage to women running for the highest office.

It's photoshopped. The original photo can be found on the Alaska state website, I believe.

Sarah,

If it is nothing...­it does not exist, you henceforth cannot have something that does not exist....I know sweetie, damn logic gettin in way.

[hortonhearsawho]

She is studying the ACORN situation and will soon release a statement. Here it is: I just knew that peanuts and charlie brown were for Obama...Sh­e now knows what context Charlie.

[cubs325]

i don't know what bothers me more - her lack of command of the information/issues facing this country or her lack of respect for the process of electing the president (something we take for granted but those around the workd marvel at our process and transition of power/leadership) that she mocks with her actions

[hortonhearsawho]

Whao...you have to have...bef­ore you can lack.

[hortonhearsawho]

wow how many dukes of hazzard reruns did they make her watch to pick out that gem.
