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."

true but to hear a couple off here saying we should just concentrate on the rats is laughable.

it seems we’ll just ignore the idiots in the GOP who have a big communication problem while we should play into the party hands and look the other way

Social graces?
How many of the last 10 presidents swore like sailors? Answer, 9.
How many ever killed a bear? Answer, 0.
Social graces? You mean like Obama?
I would prefer a president who understand the difference between good and evil, like Sarah.

The truth is spoken the problem is that we have republicans like Karl Rove saying that the comment was tasteless and many in the GOP have no balls what so ever.


Karl Rove is an Anti-American Liberal Globalist RINO...who likes Illegal Aliens more than American citizens. Karl Rove is no conservative

And I am no fan of Palin’s...but this Rove comment is so indicative of why the GOP lost the House, Senate, and lost to Obama....brain dead Anti-American Liberal Globalist RINOs like Rove. Only a single-digit IQ idiot thinks Rove is a Conservative

Damn right.

This upper class snotty talk is getting us no where, we need to fight fire with fire and stop being so PC and polite.

Fight fire with fire and call a spade a spade.
Call it how it is and stop beating around the bush.

"...Karl Rove saying that the comment was tasteless..."

I can't find where Rove said that, can you post it? Thanks. Republicans can take a page from the Progressive/Democratic play book.....we as Republicans/Conservatives need to stand together and not tear at major points about the opposition no matter if it is not drawing room perfect....Rove needs to get out of Washington into the real world somewhere west of the Mississippi! Sarah and I speak our minds no matter where the words land...usually it is a fit *~*

it was on the Fox show between 9 and 11am this morning.

Martha something asked him about it and she was laughing but he had his stern look on and then said he thought it was tasteless, His exact words too.

Not sure if it is you tube or not but I bet there is some freeper out there who knows where the clip is and who to put it on here.

Good luck on not throwing the TV out of the window like I wanted to on hearing it.

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

Exactly right. I hate it every time the unctuous Hannity calls him “The Architect.”

Steve Schmidt and Karl Rove are indistinguishable. Sarah Palin has their number. Both of them.

Even the deepthinking Wm F Buckley once told Gore Vidal on television, “Shut up you G__d_____ queer, or I’ll punch you right in the face!”

********

LOL! True, and it was epic.

Context and timing is everything.

You don’t get it. People are pissed and are tired of Republicans spewing bland policy points and statistics when dealing with the Left. This is why Palin is so popular. She has a brilliant way of calling a spade a spade regardless of the political consequences.

Oh, I get it. I am a fan of Sarah Palin, and believe she is brilliant. However, pointing to a man’s lack of balls is not a brilliant way of calling a spade a space, IMO

Perhaps you don’t get it.
