Ok, you won’t answer me, but I’ll answer you. Ron Paul didn’t attack all Sarah’s supporters, he just said most are the country club type. Talk a lot and act tough, but let someone else do the heavy lifting (sound familiar).
Ron Paul just mentioned that he has yet to hear Sarah talking about the Federal Reserve, the unconstitutional and stupid war on drugs, any intrusions on liberty, etc. He didn’t say this, but I will: she did a very socialist thing in putting a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. She claimed that the oil belonged to the people of Alaska - uh huh, Hugo Chavez said the same thing. And of course, she never mentions bringing the soldiers home and/or getting us out of the affairs of other countries.
As politicians go, Sarah is far from the worst, but I personally haven’t heard much difference between her and a lot of collectivists. She has brought up states rights a lot and kudos to her for that. But you can’t have states’ rights till you get rid of the Fed, stop federalizing the state militias, get rid of all these “federal” laws etc. etc.
Answer your question?
What do talking a lot and acting tough have to do with playing golf? Nothing. Eisenhower spent a lot more time than Patton playing golf and cuddling hostile nations during WWII and afterwards. I'll take Patton.
The Alaskan oil reserves ought to be available to those who discovered them or drilled for them or their contract successors. I suspect that the oil became the "property" of the Alaskan government when Sarah was living in Idaho and was busy transiting from diapers to undies. How is this her responsibility again??? Was she supposed to give the oil away to cronies? Hold a lottery? Ugo NATIONALIZED oil reserves. Sarah did not seize anything from anyone. Ugo needs to be overthrown and executed. Sarah deserves to be supported and elected. There may be others who deserve to compete but none will be paleonobodies or other surrendermonkeys.
You or the paleosurrender artist can accuse Sarah of a few things but boring people to tears with endless monologues about the Federal Reserve System is not one of them. Not that there should be Federal Reserve Banking System, mind you, but no one gets excited over the continuing existence of the WW I era Federal Mohair Commission or Federal Tea-Tasting Commission either.
The "unconstitutional" and stupid war on drugs??? What is really stupid is the use of narcotics and hallucinogenic drugs. "Unconstitutional???" Have you ever heard of the interstate commerce clause??? You don't suppose that drugs move in interstate commerce or that opium derivatives and many other "recreational" drugs move into our nation from foreign countries??? This one is always the hallmark of the libertoonians and marks them as cheerleaders for the enemy within. Do you think that it is patriotic and pro-Western folks (or even just antimoral libertarians) who reap most of the profits from Afghan poppies, Latin American coca leaves, or even from Turkish Red and Acapulco Gold and other international party starters? Then there is the alleged lack of complaint by Sarah on "any intrusions on liberty." Such as??? I hope that you and Paulie are whining about something a lot more serious than a negligent wiretap under the Patriot Act that catches your Aunt Cunnigundus arranging Thursday night's bridge game with her old cronies.
If Sarah were running around making a fool of herself whining about "bringing the troops home" or keeping us "out of the affairs of other countries," you would not have anything to worry about since she would get her patoot kicked to the heavenly body formerly known as the planet Pluto as did the paleosurrenderman get kicked last year in his race for POTUS. Fortunately, Palin prefers patriotism over being a paleosurrender artist. There is no chance that lavender Justin(e) Raimondo will be moving his limp wrist from antiwar.com to Secretary of State under Sarah.
States' rights, properly employed, are good. This means state's rights under the 10th but no state right to abort, recognize lavender canoodling posing as "marriage" or sexual abuse of household pets, farm animals or common (non-human and non-paleo) vegetables.
