I can’t watch Palin that much because she has a tendency to just fill the air with a bunch of nonsense words as if she is buying time, trying to find the right answer. Illegal immigration has been a burning issue for years. The fact she was not ready to answer the question of what is to be done with the illegals that are already here is lame. I saw the show and she was avoiding the question, sorry to disagree with the Palin apologists here.
The real answer to that question is going to sound cruel to some people but here it is. Kick their kids out of the schools, throw them out of their jobs, deny free health care beyond critical care, and cut off all government services. If this were done in a consistent manner illegals would self-deport by the millions. Take the Arizona concept nationwide and do even more.
I like Sarah generally, she pisses off all the right people and her detractors force me to root for her. She knows how to draw a crowd and could raise money for the cause. But we already had a guy for 8 years that couldn’t make a compelling case for conservative principals even though that case can easily be made.
Palin talks in vague generalities, constantly repeats herself, and STILL doesn’t understand the issues in enough detail to convince the 10’s of millions of people who don’t find her credible to give her a chance. We need political leaders who don’t require others to constantly come to their defense because they lack the gravitas to make their case. We need to go beyond repeating phrases like “common sense solutions” endlessly and having no detail to back that up.
I couldn’t agree more.
Though I’m a Palin supporter, I will be bookmarking your post, and here’s why: It is a perfect example of the difference between criticism of Palin and PDS.
Some folks around here should take notice, but I won’t ping them because they’re as likely to learn as the libs who say all criticism of Obama is race-based are.
