Palin did a good job, but the truncated responses shown by Gateway make her look foolish.
Beautifully stated, and I could not agree more.
To be fair, she was asked in a binary sense, in which it either is time for a female president or it is not. I’m very glad she answered in the affirmative rather than the negative.
Ann Coulter? Surely, this was said tongue-in-cheek? She, who is the Judy Garland of Conservatives? She, who has an orgasm over Chris Christie? She, who dated Bill Maher?
Say it ain’t so.
like you said it got them in the WH....or in other words by playing the game the dems won the election.
If the game can get a no name unquailified pretender into the WH like Obama think what the game can do for a totally quailified candidate...
Who cares if she said it or not? She’s still the most qualified of all known or unknown candidates at this time. And, do you think the media won’t have a field day with her gender? Guess again.
Really! Does she plan to skip running against the ideas of those other republicans during the primaries?
Americans want to know now. Right now they are getting more than their share of Newt's ideas and the other candidates. It's time to start competing with those other undeclared candidates. Sooner is better than later.
Conservatives support Palin for the same reason they support Thomas Sowell; they articulate principles embodied by the US Constitution and liberty.
Yeah, I agree. Many times the supporters turn off more voters than they win over
Well said!
Sorry, she is far from being the most qualified. That is absurd.
That does not mean that she isn’t qualified.
“Best to call the ones I disagree with a RINO than a seditious anti-American son of a bitch don’t you think?”
No, it’s best to keep name-calling to yourself, I think.
Don’t worry, this is just an academic discussion. All us non-RINOs know that Sarah Palin’s positions are absolutely perfect in every way on every issue.
Just go to Google and type in "It’s time a woman became president of the United States of America". You will get all the direct quotes you want with that particular quote headlining the entire article.
Here is only one of them.
FOX NATION: Sarah Palin in India 'It’s Time A Woman Became President of the United States'
She said it and the audience applauded.
It can't be any clearer than that until the video shows up on YouTube.
"On losing election-
Sarah Palin: Obama was a change agent.
Question: But so were you.
Sarah Palin: But I wasn’t on the top of the ticket.
Sarah Palin: It’s time a woman became president of the United States of America. (Applause)
Interesting! Who of the other republicans that appear to be going to run are some of the more qualified? And how and why?
It ain't so x 100! I didn't know that.
there is a lack of that “decision making” process that goes with the Presidency. (Sorry Sarah...just my opinion)
As chairman of the Alaska Oil & Gas Commission, she saw corruption. She chose not to take part in it. She couldn’t expose it while a member due to confidentiality rules, so she had to resign. She then decided to go public and accuse the chairman of the Alaska Republican Party of misuse of his office. She could have retained her office and a rather good salary and remained quiet. She chose to be out of work and have a clear conscience. A good decision and one that only an honest person would make.
She made a decision to challenge the sitting Republican governor. No one thought she had a chance to get the nomination, but she beat him and then went on to beat the former Democrat governor to win the seat.
When she was isolated, frozen, and attacked with Alinsky tactics in Alaska, she resigned. She was not able to be effective after her VP run due to these tactics. She was no good to Alaska or to the Republican Party as a result of what the democrats were doing. By resigning she changed the game. She was no longer frozen in place and as a result she was able to be a big part of the 2010 Republican victory. Good decision at great political risk.
Gov. Palin criticized Obamacare and its “death panels”. She was soundly ridiculed and called a liar. She understood that the bill could only be afforded by rationing care, that boards were created in the bill to do just that, and that they were death panels regardless of what they called them. Without her outspoken criticism, Obamacare would have sailed through with little public outcry. She made a great decision to speak out. TEA Party groups formed around the country to oppose Obamacare and overspending by the administration. Palin decided to whole-heartedly support the TEA Party groups while establishment Republicans were fearful of them. Another good decision.
Gov. Palin endorsed candidates in 2010 and most of them won. She mapped out 20 districts won by McCain-Palin in 2008 where democrat representatives were in office as targets. Yes, in politics, that’s what we do, target districts. 18 out of those 20 democrats were unseated. Good decisions.
Let’s look at a current foreign policy matter, Libya. On Feb. 22nd the rebels were gaining and Ghaddafy was threatening to use his air force against them. On Feb 22nd, Gov. Palin reacted to the rebellion in Libya by saying that Ghaddafy needed to be replaced and that the people of Libya needed protection from his thuggery and aerial assault by imposition of a no-fly zone by NATO. During the following week some of the European leaders also came out for a no-fly zone. Huckabee and Gingrich also later endorsed it. (Some others remained silent). It wasn’t until March 18th that Obama agreed to a UN no-fly zone after the Arab League endorsed the idea. It’s very unlikely that a no-fly zone will work now without much more military action as the rebels have already been defeated. Timing is everything in a military action. Gov. Palin analyzed the situation, saw a course of action that might encourage Ghaddafy to leave and made her decision. You can argue if that was the best thing to do, but she was decisive. Our President takes nearly a month to decide an issue where the facts are changing daily and then his staff tries to say that really Hillary was the one pushing him toward a no-fly zone, so that he has a scape goat if the policy fails. Palin again was leading the issue and was decisive.
If we look at other candidates, during the 2010 election, Romney often waited until after the primary to endorse the Republican winner. You don’t make enemies that way, but you are also assured of being ineffective in changing outcomes. Huckabee made endorsements but didn’t have a coherent methodology. His results were spotty. Gingrich was gun shy after endorsing Dede Scozzafava in NY. Of the other possible candidates only Jim DeMint made endorsements of conservatives. On policy matters, Palin is usually first out with an opinion and one that stands up to scrutiny. Others may follow, but some almost never offer an opinion on anything that is controversial yet it is said in the media that she doesn’t have much of a staff and that she lacks organization. If the others have a staff and an organization, why can’t they opine on the issues indicating the course of action they would take.
I’ll take Palin and her small staff and no organization over those others any day. She is the only Republican who has proven that they can make a good decision.
All them that were Governors completed one or more terms. That is for starters.
I don’t know who is running yet and neither do you.
All distinct minorities.
Republicans have the fighting instinct of sheep sometimes.
Those sheep just need the right babe to lead (and herd) them.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’d rather have 500 sheep lead by a lion than 500 lions lead by a sheep.
