The lame media won't have the few short months as they did before an election to have an effect if they are not straight up. It will be hard for them to fool the public. It's a long ways to 2012. Palin will have the time to take them apart.
Here is the full exchange from HA. (transcript).
Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?
I think the public, rightfully, is still making it an issue. I dont have a problem with that. I dont know if I would have to bother to make it an issue cause I think there are enough members of the electorate who still want answers.
Do you think its a fair question to be looking at?
I think its a fair question, just like I think past associations and past voting record all of that is fair game. You know, Ive got to tell you, too: I think our campaign, the McCain/Palin campaign didnt do a good enough job in that area. We didnt call out Obama and some of his associates on their records and what their beliefs were and perhaps what their future plans were. And I dont think that that was fair to voters to not have done our jobs as candidates and as a campaign to bring to light a lot of the things that now were seeing made manifest in the administration.
I mean, truly, if your past is fair game and your kids are fair game, certainly Obamas past should be. I mean, we want to treat men and women equally, right?
Hey, you know, thats a great point, in that weird conspiracy-theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isnt my real son. And a lot of people say, Well you need to produce his birth certificate! You need to prove that hes your kid! Which we have done. But yeah, so maybe we could reverse that and use the same [unintelligible]-type thinking on them.
