Sarah Palin's Problem

I like Sarah Palin...

Recently, however, my confidence in Governor Palin’s judgment has begun to ebb – most dramatically, this week...

I really think Jindal will serve two terms in Louisiana.

It's supposed to be "OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people".

Not "Of the LAWYERS, by the LAWYERS and for the LAWYERS" !!

Palin 2012 !

Palin IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

A lot of people said that about Rudy in 2004.

PERHAPS THE DAUGHTER WANTED TO DO THE INTERVIEW NO MATTER WHAT HER MOTHER DESIRED. gRETA WANTS VIEWERS AND HAS HAD Sarah BE THE MAINSTAY OF HER PROGRAM SEVERAL TIMES.

oppppsssssss!!! Sorry about the caps.

Having to come up with programs of interest to viewers 5 times a week is no small task.

They (most) want tabloid type shows to attract the audiences.

A sign of our age.

The daughter might very well loved the opportunity to appear on a national popular show. The chance of a lifetime.

Who knows?

"And the writer doesn’t dislike Palin. She just questions her judgment."

Quit defending the author. You do not know her intentions, unless you are her. Palin is far from arrogant. She is true, unlike the fake arrogant Zero the author does not feel the need to critique.

"Fairly or unfairly she has been Quayled while Jindal is stepping up to the plate."

Nonsense!

The liberals wish to 'Quayle' her but nothing has stuck, and with good reason: She is who she seems to be.

Jindal, a liberal republican, cannot 'step up to the plate' because he has no idea where or what the 'plate' is.

Welcome to Free Republic!

Many of you must be drinking the same kool-aid that was given to Obama supporters in regards to Palin.

Is her daughter not 18? Do we believe that parents should be controlling their children's lives by what they say and do when they are 18?

I completely agree, unfortunately, as I had supported her completely. After the election, I wrote her a letter of thanks and support. I started to watch the interview with Greta, and had to turn it off. I am sure that very few agree with me, but I think that is was not the wisest choice. (granting the interview.)

“And let’s not forget the now-infamous footage of Governor Palin pardoning one Thanksgiving turkey as another was slaughtered behind her.”

Kinda makes you wonder if this ignorant ahole writer understands WHY one turkey is getting a pardon?

The point is quit obvious, the pardoned turkey doesn’t get it’s freaking head cut off!

I love it when the piece starts, "I like Palin.... but."

Just like every liberal who writes an anti-gun screed starts out with I believe in the second amendment, but...

I question the ideology of the writer here.

".yet dislikes palin"

I can't say that I dislike her but I'm sure having a hard time finding out her positions vs. those of McCain.

For instance do you, or anyone for that matter, know her position on illegals other than what she said during the last cycle?

If those are her own views I just couldn't support anyone, beyond voting for them if they were the only alternative, that supports amnesty.

Or is amnesty the new conservative?

"Enough that it will give a lot of idiots second thoughts about her."

You supplied the reason the your first statement was false in your second statement.

It is only the losers that can’t take a bit of criticism now and again. Sarah Palin, imo, is a winner.

So like any other winner in society today she will undoubtedly take this article, and others like it, and use it to make her an even stronger candidate come campaign season.

And who is this? Never heard of her but she sounds stupid. How exactly was Governor Palin supposed to “stop” her EIGHTEEN-year-old daughter from giving that interview? This same person would have complained about Sarah being a tyrant if she had tried!

I question Palin's judgment on the Bristol interview, too, and I loved Palin.
