Katie And Sarah And John

“I wanna go and moose-hunt with her. And then we can, maybe we can have a look.” John McCain

Or maybe not. Aw shucks Katie, did you really expect straight talk from us two mavericks?

Here is the transcript of the interview by CBS News anchor Katie Couric with John McCain and Sarah Palin that was broadcast on Sept. 30.

Trade Is Not A Scary Thing, Sarah Palin Is

There are many Republicans (including John McCain) who support English as the national/official language of the United States.

“You should be able to have to read English, write English, and speak English if you want to become a citizen.” Rudy Giuliani

What language is Sarah Palin speaking here?

Katie Couric: Why isn't it better, Gov. Palin, to spend 700 billion dollars helping middle class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas, and groceries, allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

Sarah Palin: "That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in. Where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh, it's got to be all about job creation, too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade -- we have got to see trade as opportunity, not as, uh, uh, competitive, um, scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today. We've, we’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation."
