There is no "Bush Doctrine" as far as I know. He made a statement about if you harbor terrorists or support them, we will come after you and he made the infamous "Axis of Evil" reference, but there is nothing that is really set in stone. Limbaugh and the media are the only ones that I know of that have tried to create a certain set of ideas that may be called the Bush Doctrine... :ermm:

Yes. There is no well-defined Bush Doctrine. You can't find a copy of the Bush Doctrine somewhere to study. It's just a name attributed to several foreign policy strategies that came about after 9/11.

I will say that Obama gave a "yes" to the question tonight at Columbia about whether or not they should let the ROTC on campus. He said "yes" without hesitation which I found refreshing.

Only because the no to ROTC has become a very unpopular position post 9/11.

That forum deal was rather boring tonight. It was like a platform for each candidate to sit up on stage and and both agree they are for good things. Rather senseless, and not very informative. Agree or disagree?

I thought it was what Ras said - you're with us or against us defined by you're stance on terrorists. What Gibson said didn't exactly match that.

I thought it was what Gibson said, but i realize that it's been used to describe almost everything related to Bush foreign policy in the past six years. In either case, she couldn't come up with any of the numerous possible meanings.

But she did in her initial response about what Bush did and then she suggested he made some mistakes. Given we have different interpretations of what it is she didn't botch it so bad although she looked uncomfortable then mad.

Do you have a problem with her asking the "in what respect" line? It seems you do, why? It was an open ended and vague question he asked.

you do try hard to appease TennNC, but you fail miserably for the most part. Stop mincing words and be the conservative that you are (except on social issues, where it appears you and I agree almost to a T).

I don't blame her, if I was a Republican I would pretend I didn't know Bush or his doctrine either.

Not at all, just saying that it didn't look so good. She could have said: "In what respect, in terms of preemptive strikes, Charlie?" .But she couldn't say that and Gibson wasn't willing to help her out. Overall, she did fine in the interview considering she's so new to the national scene. Her response to the Bush Doctrine question was not great, however. Like I said before, it's no big deal. Most people have made up their minds and those thatthaven't will likely not be swayed by this. After all, VPs aren't supposed to matter. It's McCain vs Obama.

Part of me thinks Charlie could not clarify for her because he did not know. Someone handed him a list of questions and when she asked for a question to be clarified, he was dumbfounded. He was thinking, "hell I don't know in what respect, I am just reading what someone handed me, I have no idea what the Bush Doctrine is".

What would it take for you all to say anything wrong about Palin?

Wow - now I'm starting to sound like you all talking to me about Obama.

I've stated my criticisms of Obama multiple times - does Palin have any faults in your eyes? Or is it always some unfair analysis or questioning of her? Can she do any harm?

I guess you missed where I said she looked confused, didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was etc.

Well I have stated several times I do not like her pro union stance. She is not perfect but is much better than what you are serving.

I said that her response was weak and she's at a disadvantage not being versed in Washington speak.

That is a trigger phrase and that is exactly the sound bite that the liberals/Obama campaign want McPalin to say... they want to advance the notion that we went into Iraq unprovoked.

I am not happy with her anti-abortion stance.

See we can be objective. How about you? What do you like about her?

I am watching this right now. I'm sorry, but it is absolutely painful. She has no clue what she is talking about. This is ridiculous.

Come on. It's not exactly hard hitting stuff, but she's doing OK.
