My opinion of Sarah just took a dent. She was on Bill O'Reilly's show and he quizzed her about her opinion, in his overbearing fashion, on how to deal with the illegal alien problem.
I'm afraid it seemed instantly obvious that either she has not spent five minutes looking into the issue and talking to people who actually know something about the problem or she has and is keeping her real plans secret a la Chris Christie.
She did not bring up any specifics or actual ideas and plans and basically let Blowhard Bill lead her around by the nose for seven minutes. They then concluded with some meaningless cheery sentiments about the mama grizzlies and concluded. BOR moved on.
I realize she is busy building up chits playing kingmaker and tweeting and all that but I would like to at least see and hear some evidence that she is doing some serious policy formulation and (if she does run for prez) will have a battle plan on day one.
Appearing on Bill's show for barely enough time to smile and chirp for less than ten minutes is decidedly discouraging to people like myself, who desperately want to take her seriously.
"So you've closed the borders, now you have ten million people sitting here looking at you, what are you going to do about them?" "Make them register?"
"Well, I, uh.."
She should not have set herself up like that. Bill barely gave her enough time to recite the Pledge of Allegiance but she could have gotten her message across if she had had a message.
Not good.
What will it take?
No doubt ;-)
...so maybe it will help your PDS problem.
Voices in your head told you that?
It first requires leadership that has a vision of a plan, the willingness to accept trials and tribulations of every aspect of that plan, and most important the willingness to be absolutely committed to going through with the plan.
No golfing breaks, no backpedaling, no blaming poor results because of someone elses position on the same subject such as Obama blaming Bush.
Whatever it takes is just that, more than what you think and everything you have including the kitchen sink.
Of course this modern society has no comprehension of going all the way, something that nobody has the stomach for anymore. Being an Alaskan Sarah Palin is no weakling in challenges be it outdoors or in spirit.
I know what the differences are as I too am an Alaskan.
” The Clintonian parsing of words doesn’t cut it. Palin has said she wants to deport the criminal aliens. i.e., not all 12 or 13 million. Those who have “followed the rules” will be allowed to stay and work here and eventually put on a path to citizenship. Hence, she can say that she does not favor amnesty for all. “
In other words, she is a fraud.
It is kind of shocking to hear a smart sharp person speaking clearly with no uhs or ummm and knowing what they are talking about. BOzo sounds like a low grade moron next to Sarah Palin.
What plan?
No. You shouldn’t assume that everyone heats voices just because you do.
No. You shouldn’t assume that everyone heats voices just because you do.
How’s Chun and Remo doing?
It’s sad to see you acting like this, and I would say that even if I opposed Palin. I have held you in high regard, but this ranting is sad. I literally checked a couple of times to make sure I wasn’t mistaking you for another creeper.
Just sad.
What’s the full text and context of the quote in your tagline?
The idea that deporting these people en masse would be feasible is silly at best. The way to do it is to make them want to go home by shutting down the amusement park rides. Dry up the job market for illegals, reduce wire transfers to a pittance, get bennies tied to immigration status, etc.
I understand that, but the all or nothing approach isn’t going anywhere. The gangs will get the boot. We had better start somewhere, or it’s not going to matter at all.
She’s been supporting amnesty since I can remember. But look for the Palindians to be seeking your scalp.
LOL. She’s had multiple opportunities to straighten this out. SO far, she’s batting .000
Just those with PMS (Palin McCain Syndrome).
You mean like a post "registration" deportation en masse?
