Palin = Ordinary ???

Some would say that Oprah was an ordinary woman, but now she is a billionaire.

Ronald Reagan was thought to be ordinary. But he believed in exactly what Palin believes. Government isn't the solution, government is the problem.

Those who believe Palin is ordinary are buying the medias slander job.

If you want to be honest and assess the woman do a google search for the original text of the Sarah Palin interview with Charles Gibson. Look at her complete answers and then look at what ABC broadcast. You will find a television network that did a classic hatchet job on the woman.

Do a search, read it and you will have clue number 1 as to why the liberals fear Sarah Palin.

Oh, and by the way... Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her front porch. That was Tina Fey. Just thought I'd help all the liberals out there tell fantasy from reality.

Hey, they all thought Reagan was ordinary too!

Yeah, those pesky liberals, they didn't need to make anything up or slander Palin to make her look bad, she did a fine job all on her own. She is such a genius.She lied about the trade missions with Russia, she has never been involved with trade missions with Russia ever, and this has been verified.

She bold faced lied during the interview, and cites that being able to see Russia from land in Alaska would help enhance foreign policy credentials.

What a joke, no she didn't need any help being made to look bad, she did a fabulous job all on her own.

GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?

PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land-- boundary that we have with-- Canada. It-- it's funny that a comment like that was-- kind of made to-- cari-- I don't know, you know?
Reporters--

COURIC: Mock?

PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia--

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state.

 

Palin lost and in no in a political position.

Palin , like all politicians, told some lies.

Palin is not a polished speaker.

looking back at the last vp that didnt make it, Edwards, he is not so great either.

 

And Sarah Palin has admitted that she was not prepared for that interview. Why you continue to crucify a good woman is truly troubling.

Compare her to our real VP, and she looks better every day.

 

But wasn't her job TO BE PREPARED for the inteview? Wasn't that the mission of the people who selected her and vetted her? If she was not prepared, what does that say about her capabilities as well as her focus? If she canot be prepared for a mere interview, how can she be prepared when the stuff hits the fan?

And I do not believe that she is a "truly good woman." She is a politician; that says enough.

I would rather see her make a mistake in an interview and face the ridicule of the omniscient Democratic (91%) press, than be given a pass as Biden was with his "generated international crisis" remarks.

 

The lady can sell some books, thats for sure.

Biden has said some pretty stupid crap too, but he is a dem so we don't see it on the news hardly ever, and when we do its mentioned for like 10 seconds and never dared mentioned again. When Palin says something stupid we talk about it for literally over a year....people still care about an interview from like 18 months ago? We get it, most libs hate her, most repubs like her. Move on people!

 

It's my opinion that she is a better person and better woman than she is politician and that is why so many of the press and Libs have trouble with her. Obama is an example of a better politician than person, in my opinion.

 

Joe Biden

 

You folks tend to ridicule Jimmy Carter, and with good reason. I look at Palin the same way; she came onto the scene from a state government amd was poorly prepared for what she was going to do. Good intentions? Yep, but regardless of that, both of them were poorly prepared to handle the rigors of leading the most powerful government in the world. While Jimmy was elected president, and Sarah was running for VP, one did control the most powerful government, and the other, through tragic necessity, could have also been in the same position.

Don't canonize her, she is no saint; she is ordinary as the peanut guy was. Her weaknesses came out before she was elected; Carter's came out after. Regardless of how good the person was/is, they both were poorly prepared to lead, period. I like the idea of being a good person; that is important, no doubt there. However, she didn't have the ability to lead; and that is something else that is equally important. Leading Alaska is one thing; leading the USA, quite another.

Using your logic, Bluejay, Jimmy Carter therefore was ideal for the job; he was a really good person. In terms of a policitican, though, where does that get him? Same goes for Palin.

I much prefer a better person that is a weaker leader than a strong leader that can sell his program and is a lesser person. It leads us to more government than we can bear and down whatever agenda that stroger politician is peddling.

 

So Carter, who was a really good person, was OK in your book? You have to admit, that Carter was really a good-intentioned person. He was truly a gentleman who really, really meant well. If that is the case, why come down on him so hard?

TSC

 

I don't think Carter was a good person...

 

Wow---perhaps one of the last honest presidents we have had---perhaps too honest.

Why do you think that way?

 

If the internet existed back then, maybe these same conversations would be taking place with just a few different names.
