Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), the Tea Party Princess, played a noxious game of dodge ball with George Stephanopoulos this morning when he asked her whether she believed that President Obama was born in the United States and is not a Muslim. Leave it to the Tea Party Queen -- Sarah Palin -- to show Bachmann and others in the Republican Party the right way to answer the question.
"Do you question his faith and citizenship?" Palin was asked today during an onstage interview hosted by the Long Island Association. Her answer was brief and to the point.
"I don't, and those are distractions," she said to some applause. "What we're concerned about is the economy. And we're concerned about the policies coming out of his administration and what he believes in terms of big government or private sector.

You’re exactly right. Even if he’s on a prayer rug five times a day, and he was born in Zanzibar, his puppeteer will NEVER let us find out about it.
All media does these days is assault the American public in one way or another and try to shut them up. That’s all it is. Assault on anti obumbler-nation Americans. First they called them bigots and racists and kkk astroturfers, then they called them tea-baggers and haters and murderers of democrat politicians, and now they are birther fruitcakes and obumbler faith-sceptics who should just shut up and disappear because their cause is really “distractions” from real issues — e.g., they’re drawing blood . . . of the obumbler, the won’s, that is!
The Left uses bayonets. And all the Republicans have are limp spaghetti noodles, because they’re not principled.
You guys even seen the polls? The country is at its worst and the usurper still matches any GOP candidate’s numbers. If the economy improves slightly it’s game over for America.
The eligibility issue is the ONLY surefire way to prevent 4 more years.
She is another POS. She is off my list now. Another Rove/O’Reilly/Fox Al Waleed and his other network elites. F her.

She is playing it smart. What is she going to say..... Yes I think he is a muslim. The press then says, you are a bigot and because you believe muslims cant be president. If he gets taken down because others reveal it, well so be it. The other thing that should be pointed out is pissant is a....
Sarah has excellent political instincts.
Let those who don’t have a chance fight the unwinnable battles.

Darn tootin she’s a politician, and a smart one. She doesn’t let them derail her or divert her for a moment. She knows how to play the game.
No babe in the woods, no angelic being, is ever going to be POTUS. It’ll always be a politician.
The better she is at it, the better her chances.

America needs a leader, not another politician.
The sad part of this is watching her supporters now feel compelled to follow her and then find themselves in an anti-constitutional position.
Another solid conservative sacrificed on the purity altar as a birther blasphemer.
I have bad news for you guys...if you hold out for a birther presidential nominee, you won't have anyone to vote for.
You. Cannot. Be. Serious.
I have heard SP called many things, but a RINO. I dont think so.
And I dont think he’s sure of Reagan and Jesus.
