Why "must" we defend her? She's a big girl who claims she can beat the incumbent president. If she wants to take on the biggest job in the world, she need to prove to us that she's capable and up for it. It's up to her to defend herself by acquiring the knowledge and -- dare I say it -- gravitas for the job.
I won't defend her just because she's a conservative. In fact, just the opposite. I expect more of her; not only her, but any candidate on my side of the political aisle. I want to be proud of them, not run around defending indefensible drivel about a critical foreign policy matter.
It doesn't matter what Obama, Biden, the MSM or anyone else did or said or flubbed up. What matters is that our candidates be far better than the opposition.
“not run around defending indefensible drivel about a critical foreign policy matter.”
Of course it wasn’t indefensible drivel, Gov. Palin had mentioned SK as our ally 8 seconds prior to misspeaking. She misspoke, big difference.
The truth cant be repeated enough.

I agree. We want to be proud of strong Conservative spokespeople. Perhaps Sarah will become yet a stronger spokesperson, than she already is, or are you saying she’s not one now just because you’ve got a flub on her (which was apparently her 6th or 7th interview that day?) As to defending Conservatives - I’m not talking about defending her flub up directly, which you call ‘indefensible drivel’. I’m saying when the propagandists want to savage Conservatives, it’s about time we hang tough together - or do you disagree with that also?
