Its probably a wash for God. On one hand, she is strongly pro-life. On the other, she stinks at spelling.

Regardless of what they consider it, thousands of other people who are not them but who visit CAF have the opportunity to view my posts, which were inspired by them.

Beautiful picture. There are people in this world who will take any opportunity to say vile and vindictive things about a person with whom they disagree politically. IMO, it is okey to disagree with her politics, but to attack her personally, as well as her family, shows small minds. But then they have the MSM to spur them along. Disgusting.

I think our Sarah (which this thread is about) is different from other politicians. She is far more sensitive to criticism; acknowledging no mistakes on her part. Its the ‘lame-stream media’ and they are always ‘making things up’. Most politicians have some quotient of self-deprecating humor, but not Palin. She takes herself far too seriously.
Thus I think that calling her narcissistic is accurate and is not a trait shared by all other presidential wannabees. So, she is not ready for a national campaign. And, folks should understand, that she has appeared at closely chosen, friendly crowds. She also has not really been subjected to press conferences by media representatives. Other campaigners have.
There is a big difference between a gaffe and some basic lack of information. So comparing the two is misplaced. Does anyone here really believe the president does not know the number of states? However, Palin (and Bachmann) have some misinformed views of US history and Palin has little familiarity with US economic details. Folks now are beginning to understand how provincial her life in Alaska was. No one can become president without having appeal which crosses partisan lines. Palin surely does not have that so as much as she and some here may want her to be president, her candidacy is doomed as too one-sided.
Finally, Palin is currently working as a pundit for Fox news. It is time for them to jettison her if they want to maintain any credibility as she surely is on a political campaign.
So, others here don’t need to hijack the thread with mention of the president, Trinity United Church of Christ (which mention was uncharitable and false) or abortion. This thread is about Palin and some of her obvious shortcomings.

I apologize Beau, I did not realize we weren’t allowed to talk about the obvious shortcomings of others currently in office in defense of Palin. Go right ahead and talk about her shortcomings and whatever else, I’ll bow out and let you liberals say whatever you want per your request…
Gee, talk about one sided…
Palins too one sided to get elected, but Obamas the centrist this country needs right?
Give me a break, I expect better than that Beau…

The title of this thread is called “Sarah Palin gives her account of Paul Revere’s ride”.
Please note that when I posted my pro-life photo featuring Sarah Palin, I tied it in with Paul Revere’s ride thusly, and I quote:
“Paul Revere rode for liberty.
Sarah Palin rides for life.”
And I might add,
I’m posting for the pursuit of happiness.

Thanks for the support, bbarrick8383 and mary bobo!
So far, Sarah Palin has given her account of Paul Revere’s ride.
Someone else has started a thread to give an account of Sarah Palin giving her account of Paul Revere’s ride,
… and others are chiming in to give their accounts on this matter as well.
What comes around goes around, eh?

Check forum rules on hijacking a thread.
Have you forgotten the 2008 election results?
Think of the primaries in CA, NY, FL, IL and TX. If she’s lucky, Palin could take TX, that’s all. That’s no way to win a nomination.

It’s one thing to hijack a thread, another to contrast and compare the subject of the thread to get a better understanding of the situation.
Nope, but if Obama can take it as polarizing as he is. Someone like Palin can too.

This is the same lady who didn’t know what the “Fed” (federal reserve) was. This is the same lady that didn’t know we ever fought the Korean War and who thought that North Korea was a friendly nation and that North and South were one country. This is the same lady who quit half way through a simple term as governor and can’t even account for what magazines or books she reads. It’s a sad commentary that the hardcore conservative right wing is so desperately wanting a shining knight or dame a la Reagan that they’ve gotten to the point that knowing history, knowing the law, knowing economics, knowing American history, that’s all overrated.What matters to most Republicans and Tea Partiers is that you hate abortion and like to hunt and that you hate the government. Satisfy those measly requirements and you’re an instant hero…“you betcha!”
What’s next, Palin thinks that Godzilla and Mothra were real prehistoric creatures?
It’s sad that this generation of Republicans actually make Obama look GOOD! I think Obama is possibly the weakest Democrat since Carter, maybe worse in some ways, and yet still he seems appealing compared to this travesty of a group…
I tend to agree with both of you.
I saw an interview with Charles Krauthammer (Pulitzer prize winning author) where he critiqued her needing to become stronger on policy, and he questioned her judgment on doing a reality show. He pointed out that she had very low favorability rate with independents, and needed to work on that.
When asked about Dr. Krauthammer’s comments, instead of taking them to heart as in “I see his point, etc…but…” She pooh-poohed him, saying, “bless is heart” and called him hoity toity.
Charles Krauthammer would be the type of person she would do well to listen too
Other conservatives are not comfortable with her as well. Peggy Noonan had issue with her comment that Ronald Reagan was just an actor. Ms. Noonan pointed out was head of the screen actor’s guild for years, a major labor union.
I think both the Krauthammer comments and her reaction might be on youtube.

OK, Sarah Palin has issues. Perhaps she shouldn’t be the candidate that could stop Obama from pouring anticoagulants into the hemorrhaging wounds that Bush opened up that are killing us. OK, I’m convinced. I will not support Palin in the primary process.

Here’s what she said on Fox this morning. Still clinging to her story:
“I didn’t mess up about Paul Revere,” Palin said. “Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that ‘hey, you’re not going to take American arms, you are not going to beat our own well-armed persons individual private militia that we have.’”
She blamed her previous answer on the media, saying it was a “gotcha question.” “

All examples of Obama off the teleprompter.
Good that people in CAF will cover things like these, because the MSM does not.
And as far as grasp on history goes, Obama’s Cairo speech was pathetic in its historical inaccuracies.
And if only it was a case of stuttering and blundering either. His was a deliberate act of political fluff.

It just goes to show that a lot of people, especially those like Obama and Palin who spend a lot of time talking, screw up whether its on the fly or a prepared speech.All examples of Obama off the teleprompter.

What matters is what sort of decisions will that person make when confronted with information from knowledgeable advisors. That is going to be the main part of their job as an executive.

Yes, exactly. I’ve seen this pattern occur over and over again. It’s the echo chamber effect. Conservatives, and indeed some liberals, have taken the unfortunate route of limiting their sources to those that agree with them exclusively. However, I think conservatives do this far more enthusiastically than liberals. Liberals suffer from the vice of wanting to be fair minded. This is of no concern for conservatives.
I read the article from that bastion of liberal lamestream media, “Forbes”, that bellasbane linked and found it interesting. The modern conservative movement has been contorting American history for its own purposes for quite some time now. The entire Tea Party movement is a bastardization of the true and accurate history of the events in Boston, but I digress. The article points out accurately, IMHO, that Palin’s defenders are willing to impugn Revere’s reputation in order to contrive a basis for making Palin’s mangled version of history accurate and correct. It does violence to any patriotic sensibility that Revere “sold out his side” when pressured by the British Regulars. As history shows and his own letter reports, “Revere did what any good patriot would do in that circumstance – he lied to the enemy to aid and protect his compatriots.”
“Any American should be distressed at this effort to paint Paul Revere as less of a patriot – all in the name of defending Sarah Palin’s ridiculous remark.”

You know it’s bad when Chris Wallace on Fox can’t keep a straight face!
