He wasn't right to trash her and not say a solitary negative thing about the Dem candidate. He essentially shoved O'Donnell down the stairs and then congratulated himself for predicting she would fall down the stairs.
Barry salivates at the thought of running against Palin in ‘12.
Rest assured on that one.
Every potential presidential candidate (Palin, Romney, the Huckster, T-Paw, etc.) has a Facebook page. The difference is Palin uses hers to effectively circumvent MSM.
We're in the 21st century; what century are you living in, Little Pharma?
I hope she lays out the effects of NAFTA in her next OP-ED..bet the blue-bloods and their cheerleaders Dana,Rove & Krauthammer would love that. They all love the open borders takeover...and the road to serfdom.
Nobody is except for say John Bolton.I bet she would ask him to be in her administration.His dream job would be head of the departure of the united nations from the shores of America.Damn good start.
Why would she run when she gets the money and glory with none of the stress of making actual decisions about the country?
She will continue to hint at running because it keeps her name in the spotlight. The minute she says for sure she isn’t going to run in 2012, her 15 minutes are over.
Like the Mittster, Huckleberry and Obambi know policy.
What is this babble? Palin’s pronouncements have been rock steady.
He always looks like he’s smelling something bad. Methinks he is one embittered man. Joe Klein (a creep, admittedly) hinted at this about a year ago and got hammered for it. But maybe he was on to something.
I don’t believe she is shallow enough to play that fame game for no other reason than money and fame. I think she loves this country.
I served under some the world's finest leaders in the US Navy, and I also observed the differences that set apart great leaders from others who were superb as Division Officers, but would have become less effective as Captains of a ship.
My teenagers compete in Team Policy Debate and Lincoln/Douglas style Values Debate with a homeschool organization. I've only been able to see a few of these debates, but they sure do like to talk about the processes.
Prospective legislators would benefit from Team Policy Debate, and it seems more suited to the legislative/collaborative process.
Leaders need to be able to establish a vision for the future, a general direction based on principles, morals, and values, that will inspire others to follow their lead and help shape policy objectives toward that vision and along the guidelines of those principles.
This difference is what makes Senators and Congress-critters (generally) poor prospects for leadership, but allows their policy work (if it matches the prospective leader's vision) be instrumental to a leadership team.
This is also why Ivy League and other MBAs have been disasterous as corporate leaders, and collectively are responsible for the current sad state of our economy and markets. As "business administrators", they are policy wonks, not leaders, focused on the quarter-end figures, with absolutely zero vision for the future, and seemingly oblivious to the secondary effects of their short-term stupidity. This is also why Romney is the worst possible choice of the current wannabee leaders.
Every other potential candidate has a Facebook page as well as having presented policy. Palin has not done the serious grown-up work. If you think that she will be elected to the presidency with clever tweets and reality shows, I fear you are in for disappointment.
This country is not going for an inexperienced choice whose strength is a good speech and whooping up a crowd. Not again.
American Nationalism --- that's why the talking heads, the leftist media, the fossilized Republican Establishment and the statist/internationalist/world government promoters hate Sarah Palin. She puts the American People and their interests FIRST! She puts the country first. The Establishment traitors to the Republic hate the fact that the public is no longer asleep and Palin is leading the struggle against them.
Your earlier pronouncement that she has never outlined a policy is simply untrue. She, like everyone else, has no policy position papers, but she has discussed energy in depth, discussed economic policy in depth, and shown enough in her critiques of Bambi's policies (foreign and domestic), that someone who is supposed to be paying attention (you) should know she is fully capable of outlining good, conservative policies.
If she decides to run, she will need to convince those who aren't paying attention of her abilities to govern and form policy. That's what campaigns are for. If she runs and explains herself well, she will very likely win.
But the fact is that all candidates for serious public office use FB these days to reach the largest # of people possible. And if used properly I suspect it can be highly effective.
