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."

LOL! Outstanding, RangerSIX!

Now I have that wretched tune stuck in my head, and it will take a few hours to stop. Worth the joke though, well worth it!

she says it how it is and how the people who are down to earth say it.

It might not be popular in that stuck up circle the GOP has but screw them.

he has no balls plain and simple.

We are at war for the future of the Republic and people like you spend all your time shooting our own in the back for not being pure enough for your tastes.

You all are the David Frum/George Wills wing of the party. Never fight back against the Leftist machine, always shoot your own in the back.

Maybe if some of you tried spending your time fighting the Left instead of endlessly complaining about our allies on the Right, we would not be in this mess.

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

With all due respect, taking the high road against the Rats has NOT worked at all. When they are playing by Alinsky rules, you can't play by Marquess of Queensbury rules and expect to win.

If we're going to defeat them, then yes, we have to take off the silk gloves, put on the brass knuckles, and get down in the mud and slug it out with them using their own rules against them.

And Sarah Palin is doing that.

Well, I’ve been “around here” somewhat longer than you have and, yes, some of us do have a problem with it. We see how everything the Libs say is couched in vulgar, coarse, adolescent-sex terms. No reason for FR to devolve into that as well.

For one thing, it invariably becomes coupled with personal attacks, which do nothing to advance the debate.

Screw the "dignity", call these people out for what they are and what they lack.

Obama has no balls, pass it on.

I like the addition of Rahm’s tutu-it’s so fitting.
For anyone who thinks this picture is a fake-it’s from the Congressional picnic in June.
The White House thought having Barry walk Bo
might make him look manly.
Instead, his pathetic dog walking fiasco reaffirmed how light and weak he is.
Probably from those missing man parts.
The series of pictures is here :

http://www.petsugar.com/Follow-Leader-Bo-Takes-President-Walk-8729284?page=0,0,4#4

In picture 1 he’s Goofy barely hanging onto the dog
and grasping the leash with both hands.
About to fall down and be dragged by the dog.
Michelle is yelling something at him-probably “ You **# fool, don’t fall down
and let the dog get away.”
Picture 2 -The dog is walking, but, Barry has to run to keep up with him.
Michelle joins Barry probably ready to leap in and grab the leash when Barry loses control.
Picture 5 is Barry doing his twirling , light in the loafers act.

this is a website, not a real world so it doesn’;t matter how long you have been on here longer than I.
Anyway what has FR got to do with anything?NOTHING, we’re on about Palins comments and Rove saying it was tasteless because she said it how the most people would say it.
Rove and the elitist upper class republicans are out of touch and it is time they got in touch .

In the real world the GOP are spineless and have no balls with their communication.
Our ideas are the majority it is the communication which is a problem and thinking now we have to be polite is not working .
so the GOP needs to cut the crap and say it how it is because right now the far left is and they are winning.

Lets face it the far left has a gun we have a piece of paper full of manners and nice words.

I am not a big Rove fan, but he is a strategist. He probably thinks a atatement like this from Palin will help rally the base for Obama and get them to the polls in November.

I will piss on their grave. Next time you are in a town hall meeting with any politician that supports illegals and obama-care, tell them (especially if they are old, post 65 y/o) when they die, you will piss on their grave and then maybe crap and use their headstone to wipe your butt. They piss on the constitution and piss on us, so why not return the favor and water their flowers? you gotta go au naturale to save the environment too!

Bingo!

How often do conservative suffer under progressive/liberal double standard.

When the left comes out (and they will) whining about this crude comment is the defense "you do it too", a good one?

As with Reagn I thought we were proud to have higher standards than the left

stuff like that makes people feel like she does not have the "Social Graces" to be President.

But Obama does. See...Meeting w/ Queen Elizabeth, return of Churchill bust, not showing respect to the flag, etc. etc. etc! Obama has south side of Chicago street graces...which are basically those of a thug.

Right now the democrats are suffering from a lack of enthusiasm problem. The far left is unhappy because Obama hasn’t declared himself dictator for life yet.

Many white dems are disallusioned and all the special interests are unpleased.

The dems have been doing everything to reexcite the vote.

You can see the articles springing up already. These articles could care less about we on the right. They will use it to wee wee up the party.

I agree, but none of what you have said relates to my point that we can do all you suggest (and more) without being vulgar, coarse or childish.
