On Fox Wednesday night, Sarah Palin said U.S. intervention in Libya will be a failure if Muammar Gaddafi remains in power.
"America will have failed if we turn over command-and-control of this mission, and the mission of ousting Gaddafi is not fulfilled.
It will be failure."

I'm not sure about that...some harpies love her for being a chick...odd considering they left here years back for Rudy and those two are way different ideologically
I support Palin pretty much..someone else could pop up and there is the issue of can she win...who knows really. I don't like some of what she says but her traditional cultural views when she leaves all that girl power out appeal to me. I have paid to see her at a private Tea Party event and that proof is here on this forum.
I also like Bachman...but neither because they are girls..I actually make an exception for them because in reality I think men make betters leaders and decision makers as a rule..without question. That may change today as women get stronger and men..white educated men anyhow..get weak as butter looking anyhow.
But...this thing some do here where they brook no dissent over Sarah and threaten expulsion is ugly and dirty and I don't like it.
I have witnessed this sort of herd and clique behavior here for over a decade now and was once even targeted by it over my opposition to amnesty and Travis McGee's expulsion before we were both reinstated a year or so later when the Harpies I mentioned before left in a huff to go anti-freep
I would advise this forum to allow an open discussion in the primary run up. It is a mistake in my opinion to make this a Do Not Be Ugly to Sarah Palin board. Sarah's supporters here like me or even more serious stalwarts can simply defend her just as she will have to do if she runs...and the incoming will be withering...the worst we've ever seen no question.
The fact I do support her is inconsequential. It's fine for the powers that be here make their choices known..hell I would too if I were one but I just don't see the point of purging anyone here who supports a GOP candidate at this time and I think this sort of thing appeals to the poorer side of human nature and is bad for the forum in the long run...like inbreeding. I can take you to any Southern based thread right now and show you folks who fire away with impunity cultural liberalism all day long but when JR ran the Homosexual Purge thread and attracted a few of them for the liberals we all knew they were all along they got caught in the light and he bagged em and good riddance.
But threatening folks and running over them hand calling mods for not being Palin enough is just another Harpy in a new hat to me.
You are either telling a lie, or you did not read the thread in question. In either case, that is not what happened. JR does not abide trolls here. The Abuse button was made for trolls, among other things. I reported the actions of a troll. I was in the right.
As for the rest of your rant, J. Robinson has already said multiple times that FR is "Palin Country," and has zotted several nasty anti-Palin trolls. If you don't like that, or don't the Homosexual purge, you can find another place to post, just like anybody else who doesn't like the way Jim runs things. This is his property, after all.
Agee.....but ya knew that already !!...:o)
I want to hear the good and bad on all the potential polidiots. But right now, as we explore.......Palin and or Bachman.... I would be happy voting for. No they ain’t 100% perfect. You find 100% perfect anything and your dead and in heaven IMO.
Energy is the key IMO to this nations survival. Extremely Extreme Extremist wrote a very good post on this .....

Stay safe WD !
I didn’t send you any freep mail messages. I didn’t ask to be your secret friend, nor did I ask for personal information.
Before trying to spread this sort of falsehood, you should pay attention to the fact that it is, as is often the case with liars and lies, inconsistent with what would be expected. Where in our conversation is there any indication that I would care to be your “secret friend?” Your mistake here is that you have verified to me that you are a fraud, without a doubt.
Frauds and liars should be banned. I will take this to the next level, and I won’t give up unless asked by the administrators of this site.
“You are either telling a lie, or you did not read the thread in question.”
Agreed.
I would bet that the anti-Palin rhetoric has only just begun. The ignorant, the double-tongued, the deceptive, the useful idiots, the trolls and the bearers of plain old nastiness will pop up more and more.
I just had a poster attempt to smear me by suggesting I freepmailed him and wanted to be his “secret friend.” Merely because I accurately explained that the only real weapon they have against Palin is to try and fool people into thinking that Tina Fey is the real Sarah Palin.
It will be a lot easier for you anti-Palin posters—whether you’re the outspoken ones or the cowardly, double-tongued types unable to stand up like a man for your beliefs, or a “moderate” in between the two—to just give up and watch things from the sidelines.
Think about it. The only way you can advance your anti-Palin agenda is through fraud, deceit and trickery. This tactic in itself sets you back morally as well as strategically.
Sit down and listen to me. Your real enemy is not Sarah Palin. It’s the people, and as we speak they are wide awake. There are many just like Sarah Palin, Allen West, Michelle Bachmann and Ronald Reagan standing in line for a chance to battle the tyrants and the ruling class. Some of them will not, now or ever, take a payoff to sit down and shut up. And nobody can control them all. Bank on it.
I never said you did.
I contend that Palin is neither experienced enough nor capable enough to handle the toughest job on the planet.
I use her own words and actions always. If they are unpleasant to you take it up with her.
I do not believe that she can get the 70 million votes needed to win. I believe that a Palin nomination is the surest, perhaps only, way to give us four more years of dear leader.
When FR is declared to be nothing but a Palin fan club then I will leave on my own. As long as it remains a forum for discussion of conservative issues then I'll stay.
What are you so afraid of?
If you think my post indicated I didnt like the way south bashers were exposed finally in the homosexual purges then you have clarity issues especially after I said Good Riddance.
And I’ve noted you like sucking up and running with the pack buy be informed this old tyme freeper is not intimidated by your threats and id be willing to bet my bonafides are more easily proven than yours
who knows who the hell you are dear
And by the wayif you think only trolls get shown the door here then you arent paying attention
Piss was not a troll ...that is ridiculous...but he did cross a line with the innuendo but a troll are u joking
If you know anyone else who could use some help distinguishing between Sarah Palin and Tina Fey, let me know.
In the meantime, remember—Tina Fey is the actress on SNL. Her skits are make-believe, not real.
Sarah Palin is the one who you can see regularly on Fox News, and on all other media sources throughout the week. She’s been leading all other Republicans in standing up to Obama’s war against the principles of our Constitution.
You’ll recognize Palin as the one who, guided by the spirit of our Constitution and backed by We the People, will defeat this progressivist regime.
>> Is Palin advocating that America put troops on the ground?
Based on your article quotes, that’s unrelated to her stated consequent. Sarah simply stated the conditions of Obama’s actions. BTW, a mission failure is not necessarily complete failure for the West’s long term goals.
I interpret Palin’s remarks to be less FP oriented than to speak to the capacity of the WH occupant.
Palin’s style of speech is imperfect, but that doesn’t define nor limit the quality of her judgment.
Actually, that's not accurate. In the particular interview with Greta that I posted, she doesn't specifically give any indication about what her position may be as it relates to ground troop deployment. Why, I'm not sure and I'm not sure why Greta didn't press the point when she initially asked the question "What would you do?".
But, in a March 6 (the weekend of the 6th), some two or more weeks before the UN even approved the No-Fly zone, Palin said the following when speaking to Jeannine Pirro on FNC (the article on this interview is linked in post #16 of this thread)...
""Certainly a no fly zone," Palin said. "I hate to say, jeez, more troops on the ground. You know send more of our brave young men and women over there in Libya. When yes, 41 years of Gadhafi. He’s got to go."
Granted, the quote is in Palinese, so the locutions are more than a bit stumbled, but it's fairly clear that she (at a minimum) is tacitly calling for and perhaps explicitly endorsing troops on the ground, long before the UN even endorsed a No-Fly zone .
>> Granted, the quote is in Palinese...
Palinese indeed.
I trust your selection of references. Regarding “troops on the ground”, it’s not exactly clear what’s meant by the quote.
Bump dat...and thank you for the clarity. I watched Greta that night, and you are right.
First of all, as much as I’ve enjoyed your posts, it is common courtesy to ping anyone who is involved in a conversation as wardaddy was involved in this one. He is the one that backwoods-engineer made the lying charge against.
I’ve known wardaddy for over a decade on FR, and I’ve never known him to lie about anything. In fact, he’s one of the smartest, most plugged-in FReepers I know. So, for any relative n00b to accuse him of lying is ludicrous.
I have no idea why disagreeing with someone has to be so disagreeable with some folks. It’s very unattractive, and very immature.
I’m very disappointed in you.
I know that JR is very pro-Palin, and I can’t say that I disagree with him on that point. However, she’s not infallible, and I believe he would agree with me on that point.
So calling anyone who disagrees with her on a point a troll is ridiculous.
Thank you for your posts on this thread.
To say she is speaking in “Palinese” says a lot about this poster, and his view of women, in general.
I haven’t seen him say “Gingrichese” or “Obamaese” or “Pawlentyese”...just name any other man, and it’s not there.
Just “Palinese”.
I will give him credit for not saying “Bachmannese”...yet. ;o)
“I actually make an exception for them because in reality I think men make betters leaders and decision makers as a rule..”
Just look at the women who are in charge of Lybia now...they are doing a bang up job of it. /s
However, I see Palin and Bachmann as set apart from them. They are successful in their own right, and didn’t need a man to lift them up to the places where they are now. IOW, they didn’t hitch their wagon to a rising star, and expect to rise with him.
Speaking of harpies...
I remembered something the other day that I’ve been meaning to tell you regarding the thread you posted a while back.
The harpies were very organized, I know you know that. But, what I forgot to tell you is that they actively recruited people for their cause. I know one person who was recruited, and turned it down.
Senior moments are bad...but sometimes, if one waits long enough, they can be very lucid. ;o)
I’m sorry that FL has had such a cold winter. I hope you are thawing out now.
