In defense of Palin
I missed this very important interview which took place during the election campaign in ’08. Note how the interviewers were out to slime Palin and thought they could get away with it because they were interviewing a US Democratic Senator from Alaska.
I just don’t get!
OK, she’s attractive, has had some work done since she last ran for the Republican ticket with McCain, but why is Israpundit so in love with this woman??? Last time she was exposed as grossly unprepared for the job! She’s at least 10 years away from being half ready, so leave her alone for now.
It is all relative.
Obama will never be half ready. Not in ten years. Not in ten lifetimes.
Palin is loved because her instincts are so good. She will do the right thing because it comes naturally to her. She prefers freedom to tyranny and good to evil, which distinguishes her from the incumbent.
Insofar as her appearance is concerned, I grudgingly forgive her for being so gorgeous.
Come-on, she isn’t bad looking but gorgeous?
Tina was gorgeeous! Jackie Bisset was gorgeous! Palin is not bad looking that’s all.
That comment is a dead give away for a kool-aid drinker.
If you are a betting person the odds in Vegas are rjb is an MSNBC viewer.
More like a CNBC viewer.
Don’t get me wrong. I like the woman, but i don’t think her opinions or contributions carry much weight, even within her party.
She is good looking though.
I drink mostly diet ice-tea!
First, the legs.
Then, the heart.
Now, the eyes.
You are falling apart, Bar Mitzvah Boy.
.
CNBC. MSNBC, NBC, all the same garbage network run by Jeff Immelt, liberal left winger and ass kisser for obama.
You say Last time she was exposed as grossly unprepared for the job! She’s at least 10 years away from being half ready
Talk about someone being unprepared how about obama with dumbo ears, nothing more than an acorn community organizing arrogant wimp who is in love with himself. During his so called state of the union massacre last night he said the word I over 96 times. He is clueless and is both anti-Semitic and anti-Israel.
Check out the diet ice-tea, you thought you were drinking, it’s obama kool-aid.
Jeff Immelt
What does it mean to be EXTREMELY pro-life? And why are pro-life people portrayed as the extremists? What is extreme about believing in the sanctity of life, including that of the unborn? That interviewer is a lunatic.
Bull! She is far more prepared than obama.
I am aware of Palin’s key negative namely she doesn’t sound so smart or talk like an intellectual. I am also aware of her strong points namely she has star power, good instincts and is a fighter.
This is her make or break year. Its up to her. Either she will prove herself and her ratings will go up or she will stall in her ratings and start to drop.
I am prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt because everyone craps on her.
My opinion:
I am prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt because currently everyone craps in comparison to her.
Show me a smart and intellectual person out there and I will expose him or her as an idiot.
I have know a few and they generally lack common sense and are unable to deal in reality.
You don’t have to be an intellectual to be a leader.
Her syntax may be lacking – she may sound somewhat like the Alaskan version of a Valley Girl – but the content is first rate.
Her substance is outstanding.
Obama speaks well (when reading a teleprompter), but it is eloquent babble.
Besides, I sound like an intellectual and I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.
I hasten to add that Palin’s critics also skewered Reagan as being an “amiable dunce”.
That amiable dunce was the most successful president of the twentieth century, liberating a billion people from communist slavery and presiding over the strongest economic recovery in world history.
Gimme that right stupidity over liberal wisdom any day.
Reagan was a no-nonsense man. He chose the right men to do the job, if they couldn’t or wouldn’t do the job, he replaced them. When he had a problem, he spoke with the men he hired. He expected to speak with only one man. And not waste his time or words with others, unless needed. If that ONE man couldn’t do what he was hired to do, then he was replaced with a man that could.
Reagan told the American people they can become great again by? BELIEVING!!
If for nothing else I liked him!!
Reagan represented NO double speak (NO double talk), do the job you were hired to do. As the Federal Air Controllers found out, when they were all FIRED (thousands of them!). Reagen was NOT Politically Correct; a horse was a horse, and a car was a car.
What ever those qualities that endear Pallin to some if not most of Israpundits attribute to her, My primary interest is a president that is also best for Israels interests and with that in mind I still go with Mike Huckabee.
Ayn, you hit the nail right on the head.
You understand the real problem we have in the government is a majority of those in the house and the senate are attorneys.
You also know as well as I do, the majority of them are overly impressed with themselves and because the have esquire behind their names they actually believe they are experts in everything. I have over the years dealt with them and find them clueless.
Teleprompter for Life
Pressy Obama has a lot of trouble as people wake up to his nonsense and ineptitude.As more and more come to see the mindless spending and anti-American attitudes coming right from the White House they are wondering how they ever went into the stupor that came over them when they voted for this guy.
Here he is using his teleprompter at a talk with sixth grade kids in school. Just another photo op, just another political campaign speech for him. Just more people to schmooze and the ever present teleprompter is there as always.
He introduces people the kids could care less about. It’s off to a bad start.
Sixth grader: Yawn.. who is this guy?
I remember people laughing at President Ronald Reagan for using notecards when he was president. He started his first term when he was just about 70 years old. People mocked him for it and said he was “senile”.
This “kid” in the White House uses a teleprompter. Is he senile too?
I wonder if there is a teleprompter in his bedroom or any of the rest of his private residence rooms in the White House? Who feeds him this stuff too, because when he is interviewed he is like a deer in the headlights, or Yamit debating Reagan.
During the 2008 campaign my relatives would say, “We know you can’t stand Obama, but at least you have to admit that he is bright.”
I said, “He is less intelligent than Bush, who is not exactly Nikola Tesla.”
They would roll their eyes. Poor ayn. So reactionary. Too biased to admit even the most obvious of truths.
Well, sweet vindication has finally arrived courtesy of this posting by Handsome Ted Belman.
Obama cannot speak extemporaneously when talking to children.
As Johnny Carson once said of Chevy Chase, “That idiot couldn’t ad lib a fart after a bean supper.”
Ditto Obama.
Nikola Tesla, who remembers?
Genius, Scientist, Inventor
Penniless at death
yet ignored
The Republicans have no decent candidates who are real conservatives. So they have a big problem there and they don’t seem to stand or anything either.
Now, the eyes.Maybe but even my myopic blue eyes can tell the difference between gorgeous and just run of
the mill good looking or pleasantly good looking broads. You are into overkill in your superlative characterization of Palin
as “GEORGEOUS”, That’s all I was saying.
I think Michelle Bachman is better looking, smarter and certainly more articulate. April 6th has a
special meaning for me as well.
Compare:

Michelle Backmann

Yanit. I agree with you. Whenever I hear Bachmann speak I am very impressed. She is far better at articulating than Palin is. I first took notice of her when the bailouts were being debated she was the strongest voice against them.
I focus on Palin because she is currently the mover and shaker.
That’s a populist position no different than how MSM works. It’s much too early to take solid positions as to who most of us will support. 3 years is a long time and the world as well as seekers of the Presidency may change many times till then.
I still favor Huckabee AKA Gomer Pyle because he is as grounded as palin if not more, with the people of America. Is religiously based, as articulate as any candidate Democrat or Republican and the least likely to throw Israel under the bus. He is my ideal Christian Zionist and is damn smart as well.
Fox has given him a platform to get national exposure and his show is rising in popularity. He is besides religiously based also knowledge based and understands the issues, domestic and foreign as good or better than any other potential candidate.
He also seems to have a real understanding of the American political realities and seems to know where the obstacles and political land mines are buried. Israel could not hope to have a better President in the W.H.
Negatives: He looks and sometimes sounds like Gomer Pyle. Huckabee’s shortcomings like pyle’s will generally be outweighed by his sweet non-offensive temperament.

Sarah Palin Endorses “Lindsey GrahAMNESTY”; Gives $1K to Israel-Hater
By Debbie Schlussel
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/16441/sarah-palin-endorses-ashley-grahamnesty-gives-1k-to-israel-hater/#comments
That’s Conservative? Sarah Palin Endorses Sen. GrahAMNESTY
Not good.
Would like to hear what she has to say.
Sure, What?
She could say:
“Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day?
Sure I’m lucky. Who wouldn’t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy?
Sure I’m lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift — that’s something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies — that’s something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter — that’s something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body — it’s a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed — that’s the finest I know.
So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for.”
That would be quite moving.
Or she could say:
“Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball player, the toughest boxer. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
Now, an Army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don’t know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating.
We have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit and the best men in the world. You know, by God I actually pity those poor bastards we’re going up against. By God, I do. We’re not just going to shoot the bastards, we’re going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel.
Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you’ll chicken out under fire. Don’t worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend’s face, you’ll know what to do.
Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We’re not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass. We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we’re gonna go through him like crap through a goose.
There’s one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home. And you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you’re sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what did you do in the great World War II, you won’t have to say, “Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana.”
Alright now, you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel. Oh, and I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle – anytime, anywhere.
That’s all.”
Either way I’m satisfied.
Aren’t we being philosophical today? This doesn’t sound like the ayn reagan we have grown so fond of, even love.
To say you don’t give a rats ass does not compute unless, unless_________?
What’s up?
Palin has been very pro-Israel, so I am waiting to hear her explanation.
Fair enough!
It’s not only about Israel. It’s about intelligence to lead. All those previous warning shouts about Palin are beginning to clang like 3-alarm fire bells.
I have now dropped any thoughts of considering Palin to be a qualified candidate for anything in 2012. At the most, Palin is simply the lesser of all evils. And that would be a terrible alternative after 4 years of Obumbler.
Unless the true moshiach shows up to throw his hat in the ring, we’ll be lucky to get a lesser evil like Palin to replace the current “anointed one” in 2012. Besides, I think lesser evils is all they make anymore.
We will see.
Her recent detour into poor judgment is not encouraging.
Still, the lesser of all evils equates to being better than anyone else.
If I were a candidate, I would incorporate the concept into my slogan:
“Vote For Ayn Reagan: She Is The Lesser Of Two Evils!”
You would lose. People want the greatest evil working for them.
I was never in favor of Palin or any other past or current crop of presidential wannabes. In normal times most inadequate presidents managed to get through most of the problems he and America faced without bringing down the Americas roof structure.
I think we are now in a situation more complicated and more dangerous to the security and wellbeing of America and the world as never before and that includes the rise of Hitler and the Second World War.
America and the Free nations of the world will require extraordinary leadership in the coming years.
I don’t see such a leader in the offing at this time. Maybe in the future but not yet.
First consideration is electability and here the Jury is still out on Palin. If she is making big mistakes it’s better to have them now than later when the negative impact could be catastrophic for her candidacy.
To be elected she will need by the very nature of the American system to move somewhat to the center. She will need to form political alliances and allies where many of us will question her acumen and ideological sincerity. Can’t be helped, this is the political baggage all of them will carry. Extending low cost political favors today will bring her she hopes bigger rewards when she calls in her favors later on.
She got my vote.
If elected, I will dispense obscene amounts of taxpayer-subsidized graft to my loyal supporters.
In this way, Obama and I are kindred spirits.
How much? Sliding scale or across the board? More to inner circle and less outward?
Important to know before I commit. If I’m into selling my vote……!
The Gaza/Egypt border crossing is all yours.
You have my vote! I’ll even stuff every ballot box for that perk. Acorn are amateurs compared to what I can do.
