Sarah Palin's Problem

I like Sarah Palin...

Recently, however, my confidence in Governor Palin’s judgment has begun to ebb – most dramatically, this week...

[utahson]

Sarah Palin is far brigher and more competent than this writer. Sarah for POTUS 2012!

[Crimson Elephant]

Fairly or unfairly she has been Quayled while Jindal is stepping up to the plate.

Whether Jindal decides to give it a go this time around is a question, but I think the advantage for the next conservative leader is clearly to Jindal right now. He has been more impressive than Sanford also...thus far.

Still way early though.

Beware of ANYONE who claims to be conservative ...yet dislikes palin...

They are most likely a MODERATE Like Powell.

What in the world was she thinking to allow her daughter Bristol, an eighteen year old unmarried mother, to proffer a national interview?

Please.

[mel]

Media will have Palin for lunch. Not her fault. Look at the job they did on her family. Enough that it will give a lot of idiots second thoughts about her.

[frogjerk]

For Governor Palin, the interview was an unforced error. What’s most disturbing is that it hasn’t been the only one. Others include accepting and then declining the offer to address the Conservative Political Action Committee in person, and failing to pay taxes on her per diem expenses (although, in other circumstances, such an oversight might make her a prime candidate for an Obama Cabinet position). And let’s not forget the now-infamous footage of Governor Palin pardoning one Thanksgiving turkey as another was slaughtered behind her.

Do we have to rip this person's "evidence" to shreds once again? I mean, this is getting very tedious.

[ClearCase_guy]

By now, it’s obvious that Sarah Palin has many of the qualities that would make her a compelling leader – most notably, an enviable degree of self-confidence. But self-confidence unsupported by judgment, knowledge and savvy is nothing but arrogance.

Yeah. Palin is arrogant. Sure.

Despite what this writer says, I don't believe she has ever liked Palin.

[LibLieSlayer]

They said these things about Reagan also... Palin IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

LLS

[utahson]

She has not been Quayled. Some would hope. Most in the media would, some conservatives and some on FR. Some of those are trolls posing as conservatives too.

[EveningStar]

Powell’s not a moderate. He’s a liberal.

And the writer doesn’t dislike Palin. She just questions her judgment.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

The writer of this piece must be an idiot. There are so many troubling things going on in this Country and she chooses to come down on Gov. Palin, disgusting!

[Sir Clancelot]

Exactly. Some states allow 14 year olds to get an abortion without parental permission, yet somehow Bristol needs Mom’s permission for an interview.

[Nachum]

I love it when the piece starts, "I like Palin.... but."

It is not only the democRATs that Republicans have a problem with, it is the 5th column rats in the party itself.

[Eagle Eye]

The author is dishonest.

[GWMcClintock]

Agreed! The last time I looked, Eighteen was the age of Adulthood in the U.S.! What was Sarah going to do, send her to her room?!

Beware of ANYONE who claims to be conservative ...
_____

Beware of ANYONE who claims to be able to determine whether or not one is a conservative based on their stance on a single issue.

[popdonnelly]

How’s her confidence in Obama and Congress doing?
