What a load of BULLSHITE!!!

Sarah Palin’s political beliefs are probably among the best known of any public figure. Or is it not valid unless you get Bill Ayers to write your books for you?

This guy deserves to be smacked.

Careful, he's come out of the closet.

No, seriously, he's been on record as being against the tea party, U.S. Patriots and average, blue-collar Conservatives

....has been uninterested in setting forth a vision crafted after years of thorough study to match her outsized influence. .... Article

..... What a load of BULLSHITE!!! Sarah Palin’s political beliefs are probably among the best known of any public figure.

Is that what you think "vision" is all about when a person becomes Commader-in-Chief?

Just parroting political talking points?

It is also about having a clue about what is going on in the World and having a clue about how to deal with the World:

"Palin couldn't explain why North Korea and South Korea were separate nations. ..... Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank. Later, on the plane, Palin said to her team: 'I wish I'd paid more attention to this stuff'."

Back in 2008, if a new FReeper would not have had a clue about the Sunni militias, the al Sadr militias, the Kurdish situation and what had happened at Fallujah, we would have thought that that newbee was either pathetically uneducated or a Democrat Underground troll.

Sarah Palin was chosen by John McCain to be his V.P. candidate after just 18 months as Governor of a state with half the population of San Diego, CA because she was a woman and McCain wanted to play the Gender Card to attract the pissed off Hillary voters. When picked as McCain's V.P., Sarah Palin had no clue who her own son would be up against in Iraq in 2008.

Since when did conservatives, along with the Democrats, also become the champions of Affirmative Action Presidential nominees?

All Sarah Palin does is regurgitate the conservative political talking points that all of us on Free Republic could recite in our sleep before John McCain ever picked her.

Do you want to know what "setting forth a vision crafted after years of thorough study" is?

This is it:

From 1975 to 1979 Ronald Reagan gave more than 1,000 daily radio broadcasts, the great majority of which he wrote himself. ... These addresses .... enhance and revise our understanding of the late 1970s - a time when Reagan held no political office, but was nonetheless mapping out a strategy to transform the economy, end the Cold War, and create a vision of America that would propel him to the presidency. These radio programs demonstrate that Reagan had carefully considered nearly every issue he would face as president.

That is what vision is.

That is what preparing yourself for the Presidency is.

In 2008, Sarah Palin had no clue what the al Sadr militia was even though her own son was heading their way. That is truly pathetic and 180 degrees from the standard that Ronald Reagan set.

"In 2008, did you know who I was? Sarah Palin didn't."
