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."

I guess Sarah sees the writing on the wall.

There will be no political future for her after November 4th!

Sarah Palin is a real piece of work! She's in heaven with Rush.

Hopefully after Flailin Palin loses the election, she will be indicted (somehow) in Alaska.

[Mike169]

Well if you've never had a sense of decency I guess you don't have anything to lose!

[ConcernedAmerican]

I'd say that Palin had her dignity to lose by continuing to attack Obama.

But that would imply that Palin had any dignity in the first place.....­...

[roald]

She is correct that she has nothing to lose.

[cminri]

I was going to say she has nothing to lose by her self respect, but apparently she never had any to begin with.

[Kindheart]

That's where she is wrong...sh­e has a lot to lose. By doing what she is doing during the campaign, she will end all hopes for a political future. She will have enough problems when she returns to her job. Alaskans are onto her.

[robXdion]

Oh yes she does. She just too stupid to understand the damage this election has already caused to her reputation and Alaska's.

I saw it and I was like 'FINALLY'. The McCain camp sent a reply to Rick Sanchez stating that they couldn't believe that he'd run that b/c it was akin to someone talking about Obama's religion.

[hardesty]

I didn't know secession was a religion..­.

[dloitz]

no one is listening any more because you lose any sense of honor.

[SOFOROBAMA]

She is an embarrassment. God help this country if she became VP.

[dmsdzinr]

BOY the TITLE of THIS article is SO TRUE! She has NOTHING to LOOSE: No Conscience, No Class, No Soul & NO BRAINS!!!

[coryco]

It is LOSE, not LOOSE. When will people stop doing this?

[NoSillyName]

Do you want to get into the devolution of "bring" vs. "take"? I would, but this isn't the place.

[RebelCPA]

I have to agree with Sarah - she lost her dignity long ago.

Palin-McCain has nowhere to go now but down. He can run away from President Bush, but he can't run away from the Republican Party. The Republicans will be regarded from now on as "the party that wrecked America." Over the weeks ahead, as carnage in the economy and the financial markets ramps up, it will become increasingly clear. It is important that this meme be spread through the internet. I urge all commentators to adopt and spread the idea that the Republicans are "the party that wrecked America." It will work because it is the truth.
