You'd have better luck trying to nail jello to the wall as win this argument. I agree with you about Libya, by the way, which might be the first time I remember ever agreeing with you. Good luck.

Hyperbole? Not at all. Heck, she thought that Obama should intervene MORE in Libya...that is before she was against his intervention.

Since when is calling a spade a spade, “out there.” You disagree. Well then answer this question: Can you name ONE, just one, war Palin has opposed? Heck, her original stand on Libya, that’s before she was against it, was that Obama was not doing enough to intervene.

And, in that interview she advocated ground troops AND regime change.

Well...better late than never.

I was surprised when she came out with McLame to shouting for another war - this time on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood “protestors” for “democracy.”

She had rinoitis. She caught it from McLame and his nasty spawn. Maybe she’s healing up and getting control over her brain again.

“Palin is moving toward Ron Paul’s position. Good! However, I prefer the real thing.”

Insanity and anti-Americanism in not a foreign policy, nor something that Palin is heading for.

Nobody knows where “Palin is heading for” not even Palin. One day she’s a super hawk on Libya and the next she thinks Obama had done too much. I suspect she’ll change her position a few more times.

She didn’t support ground troops in the interview, and a coupe day later she reaffirms that on the Judge Napolitano when she repeated explicitly that she does not advocate ground troops in Libya

Ron Paul gives you nutbags certainty.

Certain to enable terrorists, because it’s America’s fault.

Certain to never defend America or use enhanced interrogation.

Certainty in getting his usual 3-5% of the vote.

Have to agree with Bigtigermike. I saw that video too. The words on paper do come out like seeing the video. She was clearly expressing a reluctance to go the direction of committing our troops to ground combat when objectives were not clear. But she did think there needed to be air cover as a way to protect civilians from senseless genocide. And her timing was much better than Obama’s. Had he acted as quickly as that, the situation might not have degenerated into the present mess it now is. Read the Art of War. Timing is critical in military conflicts, whether you’re a Reaganite, a neocon, a liberal/libertarian, or an amateur golfer trying to play president in your spare time.

Palin is moving toward Ron Paul’s position. Good! However, I prefer the real thing.

So you're one of those Ron Paul nutcases. Now I see the reason for your illogical posts.

PS - Sarah Palin will never be a surrender monkey like Ron Paul. To suggest that shows you're as much of a cook as Ron Paul.

Not really. Lots of sane people don’t want to start wars they don’t have to. That doesn’t make them Libertarian. Reaganism and Paulism are fundamentally irreconcilable. Reagan believed, as Palin does, in being loyal to our allies through thick and thin, including Israel, because it is America's best interests to do so. Not Paul. Reagan believed, as Palin does, that it’s important to identify and soundly defeat America's real enemies, whether foreign or domestic. Not Paul. And neither Reagan nor Palin would compromise US sovereignty to the demands of the modern illegal immigration movement. Apparently Paul is shifting to a weaker position on immigration. But as for me, I’ll take Reaganism, in heels if necessary, over that Libertarian mishmash any day of the week.

though perhaps her dumping of the neocons indicates that she has had a “Jesus moment” on foreign policy

According to the article, they dumped her, because they didn't have the time for her. But it said it was amicable, so I didn't think it meant they had a problem with her or vice versa.

I think it makes sense to look at who she hired to replace them, but it doesn't make sense to interpret their leaving as part of a plan, unless you find some other article that suggests that she initiated it.

While we're still on the subject of Madoff (/snix)....here's a few tidbits.

Some of the most viscious anti-Semitism came to light when Madoff's thievery surfaced: that Jewish thief Madoff fleecing Jewish thieves (via his affinity Ponzi) was the definition of a "victimless crime."

H-o-r-r-i-b-l-e stuff was going around.

It took the wisdom of Holocaust Survivor Elie Weisel to put it in perspective (Weisel was also fleeced by Madoff).

Weisel said that thieves can imagine themselves committing crimes but innocent victims cannot imagine anyone would commit crimes against them.

Amen.

That says it all.

How much did Madoff swindle, anyway?

SJB, you must know that what you do is mouth the words and spare your brethren the caterwauling.

I wish Yoko Ono would have done this. LOL

Hum so Palin had several on the payroll that almost all Freepers consider RINOS or worse.

$63 Billion-—but some say Madoff stole more.

In France, the names of the victims was dubbed, “The Pigeon List.”
