I never knew so many repubs were intellectual contortionists until they started defending her erroneous statements.
If someone is right about the important things what does it matter if they sometimes get insignificant and trivial details wrong? If you want infallibility elect the Pope.
OK, OK, So Mrs Palin might only be a ten times better President than Mr Obama, not one hundred times. A lot of people might settle for that.
Governor Palin...
Quit as Alaska governor. Why? Nobody really knows. But she resigned from what would likely be on the lower end of the spectrum as "hard" jobs in governor mansions...would you agree? It's not as if she had a big immigration problem, much media attention, much of an opposition party to worry about etc...
Okay fine, she quit because _______________. Insert any flowery reason you can think of.
In the mean time, has she done anything to try to lend gravitas to her record? Like Alan Simpson (of the Simpson-Bowles Commission); a long retired politician still on the national stage.
No, she's done reality TV and is a fixture on TV commentating.
This is who you guys want to nominate? I say more power to you but there may be more qualified candidates out there. Yes, I know then-Senator Obama had a qualification issue as well but few could argue that he has not been effective as President; passing the ACA whether you like it or not, settling two errant wars, etc...
Being right on the "big points" (if you characterize her as right) is useless unless you can execute a strategy to secure those goals. Has Governor Palin given you any indication that she can? That she has the heart to do what is hard, what is difficult?
Exactly. If Barack Obama has accomplished one thing, it has been that it is a HUGE mistake to select someone with a virtually blank resume as your candidate for President.
I find it jaw-droppingly astounding anyone thinks Palin should be President.
