Palin: Obama lacks 'the cojones' to tackle immigration
The Washington Post ^ | August, 2010 | Matt DeLong

Posted on 08/02/2010 9:11:43 AM PDT by yoe

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Sunday that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) has "the cojones" that President Obama "does not have" to take on illegal immigration. Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Palin blasted Obama for suing Arizona to block the state's controversial new law without addressing "sanctuary cities" -- in which local law enforcement are prohibited from asking people about their immigration status.

The former governor said the president and congressional Democrats "are all wet" on plans to allow the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans to expire. "It's idiotic to think about increasing taxes at a time like this," Palin said. She added that her "palm isn't large enough" to write all her notes down and she proceeded to read prepared notes about tax policy from a sheet of paper.

Palin declined to address "fickle" polls showing that she remains unpopular with independents. "I don't blame people for not knowing what I stand for," Palin said. "If I believed everything I read in the media, I wouldn't like me either."

he said it alright this morning on fox, my drink nearly got thrown at the TV.
They asked him about her comments, he listened and then said it was tasteless and she should not have said that.

No wonder the GOP cannot gain traction when we have these kind of fools in the GOP.

All these cowards PC idiots need to go.

Rove, Noonan McCain, Graham etc have to go once and for all

Karl Rove is more correctly identified as “The Arsonist” than “The Architect”.

Durinbg his watch as GOP guru, ALL was lost.

nothing distasteful about her comments at all.

It is the PC crap which will not say the truth how it is which is distasteful.

She was right, the GOP have no balls and the sad part is that many GOP voters are the same because they live in their little elitist world of PC

he doesn’t have the balls and damn straight she is right.
Rove is wrong and so are the elitist cowards in the GOP

Your selective indignation has be noted on numerous threads.

When you put half as much time and effort into defending those on the Right, as you do complaining about them, we will take you seriously again.

To the tune of “Bridge on the River Kwai”

Obama, he’s only got one ball.
Biden, has two but they’re real small.
Holder, has one that’s moldered.
And Clinton has two, but they’re out on call.

nail on head, we have far too many PC idiots in the GOP or far too many elitist fools who think such language is wrong because they do not hear it at their wine and cheese black tie parties

To me, the problem is this sort of thing leads to more of the same — which I do agree would be tacky and distracting.

If we, as conservatives, even open the door the slightest to this kind of discourse, the Progs will roll in with the most vile stuff imaginable. Not good.

I agree. They have all turned out to be a sore disappointment. I’m especially disappointed in Peggy Noonan turning “moderate” after coming out of the Reagan White House.

Trying to maintain a higher standard of public discourse than, say, DU is not “spineless.”

I’m not suggesting Palin’s comment “went there” — this time. But if we chip away at our own standards, this will go nowhere.

It’s not a matter of being PC. I for one think being PC is being naive.

It’s a matter of being refined as a lady. It is my opinion that Palin could find a better way to describe a man’s fortitude. She’s a very intelligent woman.

So stop the flaming, guys. I’m on your side with Palin, I’m just suggesting better choice of words.

There’s GOT to be a more intellectual way to say the man has no balls, but for the life of me I can’t think of it.

***************

Well, I do think of Obama as a mincing, simpering palace eunuch.

Does that help?

:-)

It is nowhere near PC idiocy to refrain from coarseness in public discourse.

Agree full hearted. She has been destroyed by the Nazi Media. It reminds me of the Movie the Final Conflict with Sam Neil as satans son. They destroyed people by killing them, we dont have that yet but the Media and democrats destroy every one that disagrees with them. Sarah was a good spokes woman, but they ruined her chances of ever being President. God I cannot stand the media and Obama Admin.
