Wash, rinse, repeat. She is just stupid, right. She just says stupid things. She is just stupid. I got it.
And, you think I have a problem?

I invite you to suspend dissonance for a moment. Think about all the things she's said in the past, how Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, death panels, her inability to name a single newspaper or magazine, her wanting to stand with our North Korean allies, admitting that she and her family used to cross the border into Canada for better healthcare while bemoaning 'Obamacare', blaming the Gulf Oil spill on environmentalists, notes written on her hand during a convention speech, calling out Rahm Emanuel for using 'retarded', but not Limbaugh... the list is nearly endless in her two and a half years on the public stage. She's a stupid woman, Ace. Blood libel is just another in a long, long line of very stupid statements.

I could respond to every one of those issues, including honestly stating when I disagree with what she said or admit it being an error - as I have done - and it would not matter. Wash, Rinse, Repeat - I got it.

He has done televised live interviews as well as having his statements appear in digital and print media, do your homework.

And I basically agree. Now the tide has turned for me. I am 100% behind her run for President.

I meant that it is stunning to me that ANYONE believes she is the sort of person who might do it well.

One of the characteristics I like in a leader is, conviction. Palin has conviction to a level I have never seen in a politician - and I love it - it is so refreshing.
The lack of conviction is what I dislike most about Obama. The lack of conviction is why I did not support McCain. It is the reason I will never support Romney. It is the reason why I have respect for a guy like Kucinich while I disagree with him on everything. I am the guy who says, go to universal single payer healthcare rather than an unworkable compromise like Obama-care that is loaded with problems that can bankrupt the country and completely ruin our system. I am the guy who says win the war in Afghanistan or bring our troops home now. Etc. Etc. Etc.
