Based on the fact that - unlike Democrats - Palin happens to be a true patriot.
According to who -the elitists? LMAO!!!
Are you one of the elites?
The ONLY vote that matters is at the ballot box. Get a clue...

When President Obama hosted five liberal bloggers for a brief roundtable discussion Wednesday, he took two questions from blogger and Media Matters employee Oliver Willis, who authors the eponymous OliverWillis.com
Over-exposure.
She is in the media more than ANY other potential candidate. And since she is SO popular, anything she says will be amplified. Yes, I heard the entire interview, and I understand it was a mere gaff which she did clear up.
But I am getting tired of seeing her on Beck, Hannity and the rest of the FNC team (Chris Wallace not withstanding). I understand she's got another book to sell, but she needs to keep her focus there. Her answer to the North Korea question was weak - at best.
sidenote: you can save all the accusations of me being a troll. She is CLEARLY the best candidate out there as of now, and I plan on giving her my full support(as of now - that could change is Bachmann runs). The fact that she *IS* the best on the GOP side is what concerns me about the GOP as a whole; as in - why no one else to call out the Groper-n-Chief (Bachmann being one of the few exceptions). But I digress.
She doesn't need to bone up on issues.
She doesn't need to brush up on foriegn policy.
But the MORE she is in the media asking questions that other potential candidates don't even have the guts to answer, the more mistakes she will make. That's just natural.
But she needs to understand that the media is NOT going to give her a break.
My suggestion for Sarah: Sell the book, then go on a world tour. London to visit Lady Thatcher, then Merkel in Germany, the Czech Republic, Israel, then close it out with a visit with the troops. During this trip, don't talk to media - just government leaders and photo ops.
When she gets back, drop the Fox News commentary contract since it'll be time to start fundrasing for 2012. She's a big girl now. It'll be time for her to start controling the media, instead of letting it control her.
getting off my soapbox now. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I know what an “incumbent” is, but what’s an “incumbant”?
Case closed.
I've never disguised the fact that I do not consider palin qualified to be POTUS based 100% on her CV. Here she had the opportunity to show some FP chops and instead blew smoke. If that's all you expect from a potential contender for POTUS then I suggest that you raise the bar a bit or get used to breathing the smoke and calling it fresh air.
Are you a true patriot? I’ll assume that you are. See how far into the workings of the military or our FP that credential gets you.
Thanks for the reminder that Oliver Willis also works for Media Matters.
You pollute every Palin thread with the same old BS. When people say elite to you it means that you remind them of the country club rinos who hate the Tea Party and Palin (i.e. like Rove). If your only choice was Palin or Obama, who would you vote for?
If we send it around the world, it just gives it more credence. What we should do is post the whole response at the places the libs post the slip of the tongue.
And hey, everyone knows it was a flub. It won’t be the last and we here at freeper do the same thing to the libs.
Maybe we should stop making fun of mistakes or just print the truth and let it go.
I used to giggle at GW’s, but I laugh because I know it was a mistake. I Didn’t laugh at the 57 state thing, or other TOTUS errors because they didn’t seem like mistakes, they seemed more like ignorance, and that was scary.
>> I read the transcript. It doesn’t seem to make much sense even without the slip.
>> Palin: “we do need to press China to do more to increase pressure on that arena. “
>> huh? If we can’t pressure NK directly then how will be able to pressure China to put pressure on them?
You must think that Bolton is also a moron.
Add, “My Muslim religion...” to that list as well.
It's too badpeople hate Palin so much. The woman has such a homeliness to her and she's just demonized, probably because people listen a lot more to the prince of this world than the King of Kings and she's a child of the most High God. Bound to hate her.
No, she does NOT need to do any such thing. The US's problems these days are largely domestic, and Palin is best qualified to deal with those. It is long past time for the US to simply tell the rest of the world to **** off, and take care of our own problems for a while. The Europeans have been squealing for the opportunity to "be a global player". Let them.
That said, I would still trust Palin to get it right on foreign policy issues because she has shown a strong knack for choosing knowledgable subordinates for those areas where her personal expertise is not as strong.
A "big" part of Reagan's success was due to the fact that he knew how and when (and to whom) to delegate. Contrasted with Jimmy Carter, who micromanaged everything and got it all wrong.
Who hasn’t said North Korea when they meant to say South, at least once?
This media attack is nothing new. “Republicans are dumb” has been the media mantra for as long as I can remember. The only sad thing is to see some on her own side attacking her. In my mind, the more the mainstream media attacks her, well, the more regular America likes her.
In her defense, in addition to signing hundreds of books, she was zipping through 7 radio interviews yesterday. I listened to them and she was talking as fast as she could. It was like, “okay, I’ve got 5 minutes before I go on Laura’s show.” All 7 of the talks show people were shooting questions at her just as fast. In all of that, she didn’t have any teleprompters, notes or pre-screened questions, and she only misspoke one time? Give me a break.
You mean North Korea isn’t one of Barack Obama’s 57 states plus Alaska?
