What Charles Gibson Should Ask in His Sarah Palin Interview

What I Would Ask! What I Think She Would Say!

Rose Richmond
Based on the already sketchy platform she is running on, Presidential running mate Sarah Palin will not deviate from her plan when Charles Gibson interviews her tonight.

This will be the ONLY interview Sarah Palin will do all by herself for the entire campaign. If I were Charles Gibson, were he not a supporter of Sarah's, I would start my interview by asking this: Why is that the only interview?

Why is she not confident enough to do all of the rounds of interviews with all of the reporters? I think her answer to that question will be the same as everything else. She will shift her attention and the subject to something else. I don't think she can honestly answer that question. The truth of the matter as it appears in their refusal to let her out on her own is they can't turn her loose to try and answer the many questions the media has for her. McCain is so far on top of her and his top aides that the media can't even get close. Why?

My second question to her would be, Why omit the FACTS about the "Bridge To Nowhere"? If you really, truly want to be honest about being a leader, why lie?
Again, I think she would put a spin on this and try to escape talking about it in detail. The truth of this question is she is not going to admit she kept the money even though the bill was killed in Congress. Rather than give the money back, the right thing to do, she just kept it. She said screw America, I am going to keep the money. Why Sarah?

What could she possibly say to justify that? That is the reason she is on Charles Gibson only. He isn't going to pounce on her and ask for the truth. He is going to coddle her and let her lead the discussion. It is suppose to appear that he is getting the "BIG" Story. Come on, this is so planned.

The third question I would ask and I could ask 5 or 6 more, is Are you willing to lie to the American people in order to be a big shot and win something? A title for YOUR advancement? Are you willing to be responsible to each and every person in this country that votes for you or not? Are you willing to answer to these same people if you screw up the country worse than it is already because you wanted to win?

I think the answer to this question would be an overwhelming story about how she has OUR interests at heart and blah, blah, blah. I think she will do anything to win. I think she is now so caught up in the whirlwind of being thrown in the forefront so quickly that she doesn't know what she thinks. I think she will say whatever they have TOLD her to say. Is she a leader or an opportunist?

Another article I read this morning said the top dogs in the McCain's circle and McCain himself were keeping close tabs on her. They only turned her loose to go back home where she has more support. Less likely to be exposed to major media questions. I am sure they walked her to her door and told her to keep her mouth shut.

Sad situation that Charles Gibson is the only interview she will give. America is buying a pig in a poke with this McCain/Palin ticket. As a lifelong Republican, I am not a sheep. I can see when the wolves are gathering at the edge of the forest, hoping the sheep won't see them coming until they are too close to run. Sarah Palin's interview with Charles Gibson will be yet another show. Choreographed and totally planning for anything that appears to America as "tough".

There is a reason there is only one interview America! Think for yourself and think with open eyes in this critical election year. Nobody is going to live your life on January 21, 2009 and beyond BUT YOU! If they are ducking and dodging the issues and just making a huge circus of this election, they aren't concerned with you or I. They are trying to WIN!

Watch the interview and listen not with "stars" in your eyes but with COMMON SENSE!

God Bless America!

    Both of the above links are article written during this situation. Nowhere in any of them does it state that the Governor of Alaska did anything to stop it. Both of the Republican Senators were pushing for it and bragging how stuffed the bill was. Sarah Palin didn't have anything to do with stopping it. She had no choice so she went along.

    Rose, NPR??? That would be like me posting facts from Carl Marx. Give me a good non-partisan. NPR knows that a true Republican admin. would cut all of their funding off. That is why they are running McCain and Palin through the ringer.

    Sarah Palin had the final say on the Bridge to Nowhere and she said "NO". That is a FACT!!

  • hammer9/11/2008

    The earmark for the Bridge to Nowhere originally appeared in the now-infamous highway bill of 2005. That bill included $24 billion in pork-barrel earmarks and will end up costing taxpayers a reckless $286.5 billion over six years. It passed on a 91-4 vote in the U.S. Senate on July 29, 2005, with Sen. John McCain standing in opposition along with three other lonely voices for fiscal responsibility. Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden both voted for the bill and its bridge of ill repute.
