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."

Will she be doing the sequel for the exorcist movies?

[derik]

My understanding is that Huckerbee and Fox News could use her to fill in the matmos on their content. Basically, she knows she is toast so she just wants to go out with a bang to her next gig.

Spoken like a true existentialist dolt.

Of course she's got nothing to lose. She has no self-respect, no honor, no credibility. Why not just throw the kitchen sink at Obama....what does she have to lose? Nothing.

[longlived]

Nothing to lose??? The VP is nothing to lose??? Does this woman ever listen to herself speak or is she just relying on the people who think she is "cute" and will believe anything she says?

Palin has more to worry about right now:

http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/celebs/palin-exterminating-bigfoot/

Wildlife photographer Brett Sullivan is attempting to protect the elusive beast from hardhearted humans - by persuading Congress to declare Bigfoot an endangered species.

“There are a lot of nuts out there who would shoot Bigfoot in a minute, just to show they could,” said the 66-year-old Martinsville nature lover and newspaperman. “And Governor Palin has only encouraged them!”

Except your dignity, morals, trustworthiness, honesty, just to name a few.

[Heavy]

She never had any of those to begin with.

In other words, the McCain-Palin ticket is floundering and on its way to certain defeat, why not just try to smear Obama? That's what real "mavericks" do, right?

"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."

"You have nothing to lose:" - Incorect
"America's got everythjing to gain...." - At least you have a sense of humor.

Dan Quayle and his family are so happy you came along. You definitely win.

"i've got nothing to lose"

Glad to see she has no emotional investment in the election....

[Gardinia]

What does she means by Is "I got nothing to lose by this"?
Is she admitting defeat?
Is she saying she has no integrity left anyway ?
is she saying the election means nothing to her?

What this woman is talking about?

[RickO]

Sarah, you think this is all about you. That's why you're losing.

[thirteen13]

Palin, you have nothing, period.

[LemonMeringue]

She blabbers to Rush about fraud. I don't think she really wants to go there.

and remember there are questions about her $552,000 house that Todd Palin claims he built with the help of "contractor buddies."

What does she owe those contractors she is paying exorbitant rates to constantly remodel the mansion?
