Palin Says Obama’s Nuke Stance Is Like a Kid Who Says ‘Punch Me in the Face’

ABC News' Teddy Davis reports: Sarah Palin is hammering President Obama for putting unprecedented limits on the use of U.S. nuclear weapons, comparing him to a kid in a playground who is asking for a punch in the face.  "It's unbelievable. Unbelievable," said Palin on Wednesday evening while appearing on Sean Hannity's Fox News program. "No administration in America's history would, I think, ever have considered such a step that we just found out President Obama is supporting today. It's kinda like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face and I'm not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.' "No, it's unacceptable," she continued. "This is another thing that the American public, the more that they find out, what is a part of this agenda, they are going to rise up and they are going to say 'no more.' National security, national defense is the No. 1 job of the federal government." Palin, who is a Fox News contributor, made her remarks while appearing with Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., on a special edition of Hannity's program. The conservative Fox News anchor brought his show to Minneapolis and conducted it in front of an enormous audience of people who had just attended a Palin-Bachmann rally. At one point in the interview, Palin turned to the crowd and asked them if they wanted the U.S. to keep all options on the table when it came to national defense.  The crowd roared its approval of Palin's position.  Switching gears, Hannity asked Palin about embattled Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele. She was quick to characterize him as a fellow party outsider.  "I think he is doing a great job," said Palin.  While she appeared to reject the idea of dumping Steele part-way through his term, the former Alaska governor did note that his term will be up in a few months.  On the domestic front, Palin warned that President Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress were making good on their promise to fundamentally transform the United States away from its free-market origins.  "Steps towards insolvency. Steps towards socialism with some of their programs," said Palin. "We don't want to see that transformation."  Palin predicted that the press — which she now regularly refers to as the "lame stream media" — would get "wee weed up" about her warnings.  "Their heads will spin, and they will tell people that we are fear mongers and that we are exaggerating the state of the union," said Palin. "And yet, this is reality, we cannot keep going down the path were going down."  At the end of the joint interview, Hannity asked the crowd if they would like to see a Palin-Bachmann ticket in 2012.  The audience erupted in cheers.  "As I have said before, I'm not going to close any doors that may be open," said Palin. "Michele and I — both — we have strong faith that fighting as hard as we can for our country and supporting those who share our values, share our principles, and, at the same time, putting our lives in God's hands." Hannity then turned to Bachmann.  "I want to thank Gov. Palin for breaking the barrier," said Bachmann. "She did a wonderful job as the vice presidential candidate and I think the world is her oyster. If she wants to run, I think she will have tremendous support from the American people."  Following the Palin-Bachmann segment, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) appeared on the program.  Pawlenty is actively laying the groundwork to run for president in 2012 but in contrast to the frenzy generated by Palin and Bachmann, the crowd appeared to have a much more subdued reaction to the state's incumbent governor.  During his interview, Pawlenty said that he had not yet made a final decision about 2012.  He also discussed his plans to sue to stop President Obama's newly enacted health-care law.

President Bush said Wednesday that American troops under fire in Iraq aren’t about to pull out, and he challenged those tempted to attack U.S. forces, “Bring them on.”…… So Sarah, even republicans ask for a punch in the face.

Why doesn’t she just go away? She is getting paid mega bucks for her stupid reality show that only mentally challenged fools will watch. She should be satisfied and try to manage her own disfunctional family and let the President do his job. I wonder if she can still see Russia from her home?

We Democrats will gladly accept Sarah Palin’s nomination for the presidency. This will guarantee a second term for President Obama. Can you imagine the shape this country would be in if she were president? Whew!

And, dont you actually have to complete your term as Governor to be consisered a “Governor”? just sayin’

Sarah Palin almost became VP of the United States, courtessy of John McCain’s selinity. This lady is short on being seen as the village idiot. With lack of understanding of globals affairs, she opens her mouth to spew garbage.

All of these cheap talk coming from someone who couldn’t serve as governor is a complete joke. I’ll be glad to give Sarah Palin some credibilty if she has an ounce of integrity in her.

Sarah Palin is a chief contributor to the “stupification” of America. Every time I hear her speak, I just shake my head.
The President’s plan does not call for us to lessen our defenses. The fact is that we are joining with a number of other nations who want to limit the use of nuclear weapons. This does not include those who would harm us like North Kora or Iran.
Read Sarah, find out what you are talking about before you say anything. Jeesh!

Please explain to me, how are we suppose to respect and take seriously a women who can never constructively criticize someone. She’s like a little kid, always using blunt superficial complaints. I respect the difference of opinion, for example with McCain, he is my senator, and I will respect that. But she shows no humility, and will NEVER gain a high office because of that.

Yes, ykk, steele has done a good job..One incident does not make the man…No differents than some of the things the left have done over the yrs….And obama might very well needs to be stopped also…. And the military, has to stay strong…..Thats a must..These ladies arnt as crazy as the media makes them out to be….And if they were elected to office, “they couldnt do any worse than what we’ve had over the course of the last several yrs”…And that is a fact….

Govenor Palin is correct; any sane person can see that it’s our God given right to use nuclear annihiation on any country we chose with no restrictions on why we do it. This path has been proven to work. Look at how we stopped all wars since WWII using this “We’ll kill every one” mentality. I’m glad she supports the nuclear option in any conflict. When she is president all God loving Americans will know that she has her finger on the button that will let them rejoin Jesus and turn the rest of the world into a burning hell for all those non-beleivers.

Hmmm. Has ABC resorted to reporting on what some other news outlet is reporting, as news? If so then if you were to sit in on some of the other outlets (admittedly outlets that nobody seems to watch) you might find similar banter, from the far left perspective of course, and then post it for comment here as well.

Presumably these ignorant two divas are totally unaware that Ronald Reagan, who they claim to worship, tried and failed to do with Gorbachev what President Obama has just pulled off with Russia & Medvedev – - do they even know who Medvedev is?
In a 2.4.07 WSJ article, former Secretary of State George Schultz, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Secretary of Defense Bill Perry & Senator Sam Nunn wrote: “Although Reagan and Mr. Gorbachev failed at Reykjavik to achieve the goal of an agreement to get rid of all nuclear weapons, they did succeed in turning the arms race on its head.”
“What will it take to rekindle the vision shared by Reagan and Mr. Gorbachev? Can a world-wide consensus be forged that defines a series of practical steps leading to major reductions in the nuclear danger?”
Gentlemen, it took President Obama to take those steps towards realizing Reagan’s vision and a world-wide consensus.
The 4 former US statesmen, all preeminent national security policy thinkers, this week issued a statement recognizing the importance of Obama’s achievement towards a safer world.
And former “half-term” Governor of Alaska, “star” of the GOP, embarrassed herself by calling the achievement “like a kid who says “punch me in the face”"!

Posted by: Truthfairy | April 8, 2010, 6:40 am 6:40 am

The GOP is going to drop Michael Steele like a hot potato now that the presidential election is over and he didn’t make any difference to the party by being a black man in charge. This guy couldn’t hold a candle to Obama, not that Palin is any better. I can’t believe the forums she gets to spout her nonsense. She’s the Kate Gosselin of politics.

It will be nice when Republicans get back to debating based on reality. Unfortunately, I think they need another cycle of fear mongering and pandering to the most ignorant fringe of their base before coming back.
The new nuclear posture is akin to a kid on the playground saying, “if you punch me in the face, I’m going to sit on you and pound your face into a bloody mass – but I won’t pull out a gun and kill you.”

That’s about the only way I can think she could gain any knowledge of such things. Well, at least she maintains the appearance that all Republicans are fools.

The Palin family is using the media for all they can. We got Sarah running around the country wherever she can find a camera. All she ever has to say are put downs on everything Obama is doing (good or bad). Never once does she give the public a straight forward alternative to what she is against. All she knows how to do is put Obama down. It is becoming obviously clear that she has a personal vendetta against Obama and she is out to get him in spite of whether it is in the best interest of our nation or not. Then of course we have Bristol who goes on TV telling kids to stop and thin before they have sexual relations. All this while she is holding her out of wedlock kid and thanking her family for all their support. What support?? Sarah is nowhere to be found at home. The only time you see her holding her down syndrome son is when it benefits her cause. Otherwise I assume he is at home with the first dude who now does daddy duty while Mom of the year is keeping her face in front of the cameras. If she slacks off and goes home to her family, she knows the public will forget her and move on as they should. This family is nothing but a joke. Sarah is an evil vindictive woman and all her rhetoric will come back to bite her soon enough.

jhw says: “The new nuclear posture is akin to a kid on the playground saying, “if you punch me in the face, I’m going to sit on you and pound your face into a bloody mass – but I won’t pull out a gun and kill you.”"
It’s quite obvious that jhw has never been punched in the face. Or thinking a punch is a love tap, and can imediatetly recover and counter.
What I know is that if I punched jhw in the face, there would be no way for him to “sit on me and pound my face into a bloody mess”.
I also bet that you would want to pull out a gun and shoot me if I punched you in the face. The thought of no longer having a nose, and feeling the excruciating pain would likely drive you to the ultimate revenge, murder.
Secondly, if you didn’t have the gun, how would you stop the second punch and the rest that would follow?

Palin is the star example of the new generation of world’s “trash reality politicians”. She is very ignorant and proud to be, because that is why she is popular, all the ignorance of deep America can identify with her, just like in reality shows any idiot can become a star.

Posted by: gina | April 8, 2010, 9:30 am 9:30 am

Apparently Palin is not familiar with the great Ronald Reagan and the history of her own party. Reagan several times voiced the opinion that a world where nukes were obsolete and gone would be a better world. Nuclear weapons are not a topic that should be politicized…ever. They are simply too dangerous.

Doesn´t Mrs. Palin realize that this nuclear arms reduction treaty has a long, long history which includes a number of Presidents, such as Republicans Nixon and Reagan? Is she really so naive? Or does her extreme disdain for the current President blind her to facts? Or, is she only interested in demagoguery? My vote is for the last.

Governor Palin is about as clueless as G. W. Bush was (is).
Living in Austin, as I do, I knew Bush was a clueless governor, and was horrified at his comments when President–”Bring it on”. As if he, personally, was going to be over in Iraq fighting on the ground.
But I digress, Palin is worse than Bush. Hard as that is to imagine.

Sarah “The Quitter” teams up with a proven psycho and all they can do is make fun at the President. They offer no solutions other than to take the country back to the dark ages. Anyone who believes Sarah speaks the truth needs to get back on their medication. She is no conservative warrior, unless there is a buck to be made.

THe ONLY, I repeat ONLY positive aspect to this MORON being on “Faux News” is that the educated, moderates and independents get a constant reminder of her “lack of worldliness and just plain stupidity”. And now that she is “casting Bachmann as her new playmate” it only gets better for the Democratic Party. These two “idiots” are drawing every extremist to them “like a magnet” which really spells trouble for the “Grand Old Party”. With a lot of “emphasis on OLD”.

Palin is full of hot air. Ask her specifically HOW she would handle government decisions IF she were President.
It’s fricking easy to say smaller government, lower taxes, national security, blah blah blah, all those stupid Republican talking points.

Palin is correct and all you bleeding heart liberals can disagree but MOST of America has common sense and agree with her position.

Posted by: Jean | April 8, 2010, 12:27 pm 12:27 pm

I notice that no one is rebutting Governor Palin’s comments, just attacking her as usual with ad hominem remarks or name-calling. Sad. You have a community organizer in the White House destroying this country and all the haters can focus on is destroying the one person who can bring it back. Typical of liberals, their focus is trying to defeat a mythical right-wing rather than working to make this country better.

Posted by: Titletown | April 8, 2010, 12:29 pm 12:29 pm

I love all the “I hate Sarah Palin just because she’s Sarah Palin” comments, but never a single post from someone about the merits of her points. She’s just “stupid.” You know what, you lib haters? Protecting this country is the number one job of the POTUS. Eliminating weapons is not a deterrent against an aggressive world. And calling Palin names isn’t a deterrent either. I wish you would all just grow up.

Those who don’t live by truth, don’t recognize it.

Sarah Palin is the liberals worst nightmare, someone with honor, intelligence, and tells the truth about them.

I was at this very inspirational event and anyone who wants to just dismiss these two is not doing their research or has any common sense whatsoever. They resort to calling them stupid, refer to a mainstream misconcepion or two, and then giggle to themselves as if they are the funniest people in the world. I have done my research, checked into both sides of the story, and these powerful women are on the right track.
I wish you all could have been at the rally to see how uplifted we all felt in that room. You don’t see too many talking about American exceptionalism like this in these times. C’mon people, please wake up, open your eyes and ears to what is going on. We must do what we can to bring this country back to greatness and I believe these two ladies have got what it takes:)

At one point in the interview, Palin turned to the crowd and asked them if they wanted the U.S. to keep all options on the table when it came to national defense.
gr’s response:
Who is going to paid for it!
my response:
The same people who are paying for the stimulus, the omnibus, the bank bailout, car industry bailout and the healthcare debacle. Unfortunately, only 1 (one) of these the government is obligated to fund as per the Constitution and that is “provide for the common defense”, so Sarah is abiding by the Constitution, Obama, not even close!

If I didn’t know Palin was uneducated about foreign policy, her statements about the disarmament treaty confirms it.
She brings comparing apples with oranges up to a whole new level.
Russia and the U.S. agreeing to bring the number of active nuclear warheads down from 2200 to 1550 = in Palin’s mind a kid on a playground letting someone punch him in the face without fighting back.
How can her audience not see that comparison is just plain dumb?

I love Michele Bachmann. As a conservative leaning libertarian, I share her views. And perhaps no other woman, other than Sarah Palin, has been so smeared while running for office. It gets nasty up in liberal leaning Minnesota and for a true conservative to win up there says something about her. Her and Palin are both tough and will make a great ticket in 2012. They just need to go right to the people and leave the MSM in the lurch. And that’s what they’re doing. Bravo!!!

Posted by: Juan | April 8, 2010, 1:03 pm 1:03 pm

The “wee wee” comment was a quote from a comment that Obama originally made at a press conference off tele-prompter.
That is the history of the comment. So, is you think it shows a lack of intelligence, consider its origins.
The specific point is under the change in foreign policy, a foreign country who uses bio or chem weapons on us would not face a nuclear response from us.
So, if Iran bio attacked New York, Obama would not use a nuke to retaliate.
That is the change at issue.

Posted by: Krazy P | April 8, 2010, 1:03 pm 1:03 pm

It’s sort of sad that so many of the people who post here with such an elitist attitude about Sarah Palin have so weak a grasp on both history and on the correct use of the English language. I liked the “Gov” post, though. Does that mean Obama was “Sen” as he didn’t complete his term? Now he’s “Pres,” I guess.

So, Obama is a hero for reducing the nuclear warhead inventory by 650 warheads. That must make George Bush a God because in his 8 years in office the inventory was reduced from over 4000 to the 2200 that Obama is playing with.
Typical lame Dems that attack the person. They claim their president is so smart, how about this comment from him, “Over the last fifteen months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states, I think — one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to … my staff could not justify it.”

Despite her colloquialisms, Palin is an order of magnitude smarter than Obama and Biden combined. Obama has proved that he is a fool and a destroyer. He can’t build anything. His whole career has been nothing other than demagoguery, lies, and destruction. It is doubtful that the country will ever recover the devastation he has already wrought. Obama is a narcissistic far-left radical who understands nothing about anything other than the politics of division. He is a curse on this once great county.

Nuclear free world started by President Ronald Reagan. He went china and made the speech and said want to get rid of all the nuclear weapons in the world.

Don’t be fools. This is a country with a plan. They want to dominate the world economically, they want to dominate the world militarily.
Because of the “one child policy”, China has population that’s 54% male. That leaves 10′s of millions of unattached men to be sent to die in various conflicts, when the time comes. Make no mistake, they’re government sees them as expendible. China has increased it’s military budget by 20+% every year for the last 15 years, do you really think that when China rules the roost they’ll be benevolent???
Obama is a fool, a radical, and the worst President the U.S. media has ever “selected”.

Foolish sheep!!! Shame on you. Educate yourselves!!!! You keep calling her a quitter. Do you realize how targeted this woman was and stil is? “Reporters and jornalists” swarmed to Alaska when she was announced as VP canidate. They hacked into her emails. THEY FOUND NOTHING!!! How many of you could say that?
After her VP run she returned as governor of Alaska. Such non-issues as “Troopergate” (which she was cleared of ANY wrong doing)would not go away. DO you realize that your Democrat party brought 15 ethics suits against her. She won every one. But the waste of tax payer dollars to defend herself against those who only wish to defame and smear her got old. She stepped down because it was impossible to do her job without being harrassed. She didn’t want Alakans to foot the bill. That is honorable! DO YOU GET IT NOW? The lady is not a quitter!
Sadly enough, this is true. THE PEOPLE GET THE GOVERNMENT THEY DESERVE. If we are a morally bankrupt country then we should expect Obama to win again in 2012.

You think Palin is stupid?? Look no further than the White House for two bigger idiots. Biden told everybody about his top secret bunker that is supposed to save his life! Obama just telegraphed to the whole world that attacking the US or an ally with nerve gas will NOT bring a nuclear response. Obama is bringing a gun to a knife fight and putting our guns away because it wouldn’t be FAIR to shoot a guy with a knife! I just threw up a little in my mouth.

What barrier is Hannity talking about? First female VP candidate? Palin is 24 years too late on that front – in 1984 Geraldine Ferraro became the first female Vice Presidential candidate representing a major American political party, when she ran as the Democratic Party VP candidate.

Looks like Kos and the Puffington Post have their talking points out to the troops early today. I suggest you look for Obie’s grades from Columbia since he cannot pronounce corpsman correctly with a Magna Cum Laude from Harvard.
Liberal thinking on most things can be ignored or corrected, but Obama’s idiocy in telling our enemies that we will not use our nuclear capabilities in retaliation for a chemical or biological attack is in the tried and true Neville Chamberlain tradition of telling our enemies that we will sell out our friends and do nothing as long as you promise not to hit us first. This is idiocy to the Nth degree and no libs, it’s not code for the “N” word.

Who is going to paid for it!
***************************************
The more important question is are you ready for the consequences of NOT paying for it?
As for all the ones who call Gov. Palin dumb, or worse….jump big or put a sock in it. If you are not willing to put yourself out there and do it….
Remember what Teddy Roosevelt said:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
From “Citizenship in a Republic,”
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Obama does need to be stopped before he weakens us to the point where every country that is against us feels comfortable knowing they can defeat us if we stick to Obama’s set of rules. If all countries/people were reasonable Obama’s way would be fine. Most of our unfriendly nations are NOT reasonable. They are not unfriendly because we are not nice to them or use the wrong words. They are against our way of life and have no problem harming or killing us. By the way, it was Obama who first used the term “wee weed up.” And he is almost inviting us to be “punched in the face.”

Is Palin suggesting that the countries in this world are standing in a circle ready to fight each other – I had a different impression than that. Last time I checked the rest of the world was pointing nukes at us in a war posture.

Wow, almost every comment on this article is in someway a direct, negative attack on Mrs. Palin, but yet no-one has addressed the issues she discussed:
1. A degradation of National Defense and yes, in terms a national security, a good offense, makes for a very good defense.
2. The transformation of the American way of life and dream from a country of opportunity and prosperity to a country of handouts – from capitalism to socialism.
3. The systematic approach to which President Obama is dismantling the core fibers of our country.
Given these three key tenets it is interesting that all the media and most liberals care to contribute to the discussion is a denigration of the delivery of her message vs. the content of her message. I wonder if Paul Revere was booed and shouted down as he famously rode though the night warning of an approaching catastrophe?

Posted by: Jon | April 8, 2010, 1:45 pm 1:45 pm

Posted by: Ryan Frank | April 8, 2010, 1:46 pm 1:46 pm

Bush is not the president, Obama is. Our economy is in the tank because of Obama’s policies, not Bush’s. Palin is a patriot, a capitalist, an affirmed anti-socialist, and unabashedly for Pro-American values. Of course the anti-American socialists posting here would not like Palin, she and other true Americans stand in the way of converting America into Venezuela, with our home-grown Mussolini chin up dictator installed as the King.

It is clear to me from scanning the comments, ABC is certainly a member in good standing of Oboma’s “Far Left” Propaganda Ministry. How do I know this.. I just observe all the vapid, sophomoric comments by the far-left idiots. It becomes obvious the only viewers/supporters of ABC (As well as the other members of the MSM, CBS, NBC, CNN, NYT etc.)consist of that 10-_20 percent of the population consisting of anarchists, Marxist and assorted socialists. Many attending our bastions of “socialist” thought, our universities. It is going to be such a disappointment to them when the democrat party is decimated this November. I expect they will wail and maybe even exhibit typical nasty behavior that the left has patented in this country for over 35 years. As for the MSM, it will continue to downsize and will eventually, unless “bailed out” by Barack Oboma, cease to exist. It’s about time!

Posted by: Brian | April 8, 2010, 2:05 pm 2:05 pm

Ok look, I’m quite a Republican. But, can we please grow just a bit here? Is the only way to fight Democrats to disagree with every stance (yawn)? That seems outdated and transparent to me if not counterproductive to America. When it comes to nuclear weapons, which could Destroy The World, perhaps our stance was a little too strong – perhaps even a little insane. From what I hear, it plainly was. I’m a Republican but taking a step back from automated annhialation is plain common sense. Palin, you’re beginning to sound like someone’s running your campaign. Try something new – are you being yourself? If so, I guess I just need to disagree. If you don’t think we can annhialate everyone quite well with the new policy, you need to think again. If you’re pandering to fools to get support and votes, is that who you want to represent?

It seems to me that Gov. Palin is a good lightening rod for the Liberals/Socialists who have chosen to react to her message. I believe that she has a clear speaking and well formulated understanding of the abismalogic of the Democrats. I hope that she stands firm and continues the messages of conservative and constitutional support.

I agree. The days of Peter Jennings are long gone. Heck look at NBC. It is owned by GE which is run by Jeffrey Immelt. Guess who sits on Obama’s financial advisory board? Yup…that’s right…Jeffrey Immelt! Oh and doesn’t GE have a Healthcare division too? Something smells funny. How about reporting on that?

Posted by: juan | April 8, 2010, 2:10 pm 2:10 pm

Sarah catches all the flak because she’s over the target. She can clearly articulate what most Americans feel.
Obama, on the other hand, talks in circles, and is still trying hard to “explain” healthcare to the public.

Posted by: Time2Wakeup | April 8, 2010, 2:11 pm 2:11 pm

Anyone who voted for Obama has no right to question Palin’s intelligence or qualifications.
You say she’s an idiot yet you put into office the most unprepared and least qualified President in our history. Obama couldn’t get a job as a waiter on AF1 and yet the brain dead voters made him POTUS.

This is FUN! I love watching liberals fulminate and get, in Obama’s words, ‘wee-wee’d up’ when confronted by Sarah Palin. She has broad support throughout the country because she has common sense. Our ‘smart’ prez is dismantling our way of life and endangering our country with his lamebrained flights of fancy. He has earned nothing in his life, it has all been given to him, whereas Palin is a selfmade woman. She is humble, he is an egotist. Flame away, you blind, crazy numbbots! It took a lot of stupid people to to elect the guy, and it seems a lot of them are here.

Folks, the responses from the Obamaniks on this post say it all. If Sarah Palin was really the stoop and imbecile that they all claim (and BOY do they froth…they’ve turned Palin-bashing into a laborous past-time), then they wouldn’t waste a moment of their time with her; rather, they’d be laughing and jumping for joy at how much she helps their side by being so ‘stupid.’ But…instead they’re SEETHING and SCREAMING and clawing at their faces, and throwing fits and cursing. Are those the hallmarks of someone who’s secure in their own beliefs and politics? Or, do they come across more as reflecting those who are chronically insecure, and feels THREATENED by dissent? The Obamaniks’ responses betray their collective insecurity…and believe you me, nowadays they have much to be insecure about.

Uh, Patriot…Reagan FORCED the Soviets to the table by A) building UP the USA’s defenses from the doldrums of the post-Vietnam Carter 70′s, B) not yielding one inch of ground to communism anywhere on earth and C)actively supporting anticommunist movements anywhere they existed. He forced the Soviets to the table on HIS terms, and NOWHERE did he ever say that he would not use nukes against another country that didn’t have them, as Obama stupidly has. That’s the very definition of deterrence: having an advantage over an enemy. Besides, do your perceptions of what happened a generation ago somehow excuse what B. Hussein is doing, today?

It is true that it was Reagan wanted to get rid of nukes. This is not was Palin was speaking about. She was referring to President Obamas statement that even if attacked we would not use nuclear weapons. I hope that it is the case that we never would have to use them again but it is unwise to broadcast when or against whom we would.

He has trashed NASA, stregthened the Unions, pee-od every American Ally and bowed to all Muslim Countries, he has gone after America’s #1 Car Dealer Toyota and America’s #1 Debt Holder China. The man wants to legalize 30 million illegal aliens while extending Welfare Payments another 18 months. Obama is trying to pass Cap&Trade to let the EPA regulate omissions, because he still believes in Global Warming, and in the meantime he wants Wildlife and Fisheries to regulate the waters so he can shutdown game fishing. The man is a total dufas, but you cats are content enuf to walk right over the cliff with him. Well, by all means, go ahead.

Hanna, you’re speaking from the perspective of one who uses LOGIC and REASONING, when approaching an argument. You have inhibitions, principles and boundaries. These Obamaniks have none of those; they only want to verbally assault Palin (and bug people like YOU in the process), and shut down all opposition. I had a younger sibling who used to play games like that. The best way to defeat them is to not even let them bother you. If you do that, you’ve instantly deprived them of literally their only weapon. Don’t stop fighting for what you believe in; just don’t let them consume you with anger. That only plays right into their hands…and when you deny them that, you’ve rendered them utterly helpless. What can they do, after that point…other than burn THEMSELVES up, hating you because they can’t make you hate them?

Ragnaar, I’m not a neocon (or a Repub, either). What I take issue with is Obama flatly ruling out a nuclear strike against a non-nuclear nation. Having that as an option has worked for over a half-century…why all of a sudden are we scrapping it, now? There will be no incentive for an enemy state to hold back — after all, what can we do back, to THEM? What, more conventional bombs, like we’ve dropped all over Iraq and Afghanistan, already? Ha! They’ve nothing to fear from us, any longer. They’re no longer afraid of retaliation.
And as for the A-bombs on Japan, Rangaar…what exactly should the USA have done differently? Invade the Japanese mainland and have far GREATER numbers of people die on both sides? It brought that war to a quick end, and saved lives, for both.
And incidentally, it was a Democrat who ordered those bombs dropped.

“Who wouldn’t want a world with LESS nuclear weapons?”
The point isn’t that Obama is reducing the number of nukes in our stockpile. It’s that he has said outright that the United States will not use them to retaliate for any attack against the U.S. (even a chemical or biological attack) as long as nukes are not used against us.
If that’s the way he sees things, fine, he’s the Commander-in-Chief and make that call when the time comes, but there’s no need to tell our enemies this. They’re better off having to worry a bit. Our weapons serve no deterrent purpose if we declare we’ll never use them.

But the left can’t see through the fairy dust well enough to see their policies are why California and Greece are falling off the economic cliff. As for nukes…nobody like them. The president’s weak defense stance has our enemies licking their chops.

Ok, along the same lines, using your methods, here it goes. Will someone PLEASE give Obama some money so he can go take some basic self defense classes. That way, maybe while he’s getting his ass kicked after letting his defenses down it’ll sink into his thick skull that doing the same with our defense budget could produce the same type of results!
As for ‘who is gonna pay for it comment’, we already are boneheads. That’s why they call it a ‘reduction’, lol, a scaling back of an already existing infrastructure. Which currently isn’t free. Remember, it was under the current ‘infrastructure’ that terrorists felt perfectly safe in conducting the 911 attacks. Scale back more and what do we get? Do you really want to find out? Is risking the safety of your family and friends worth that type of experiement? NOT to me!!!

It is really disappointing to read the responses of those of you on the left. Obviously we have extremely different world views but to resort to the chidish playground name calling is unessesary. Sarah Palin governed a state and was very popular and did a great job fiscally. Obamma’s first executive experience was on the job training as president and we are seeing the consequences of that. She as do many of us Americans believe a strong defense will deter aggression. Just think about it, if kids on a playground know you will not defend yourself, you will more likely be picked on. We don’t live in a perfect world. That is why we beleive that evil must know that there will be consequences to their attacks. We on the right think it is naive to say you will have only a limited response to attacks. Wrong! That will only bring on more problems. Example. Cuban Missle crisis. Russia perceived Kennedy as weak so they tested him. Fortunately he showed strength but his perceived weakness almost brought us a nuclear war. I don’t think any of us want that but how do we avoid it. We think strength. We just beleive your position is unwise. The massive out of control spending is also weakening us. It must stop and it has nothing to do with the wealthy not paying their share. The percentage of those not paying federal taxes goes up each decade. Spending must stop in Washington. We all have budgets at home. So too should our leaders!

LOL. Sarah Palin really gets the liberals all riled up. Keep it up.
The liberals will never understand that we have real enemies out there in the real world. Telling them when and how we will use nuclear weapons will just embolden them. It’s like the man that tells a thief. “I will only use my gun if you pull yours out,” so the thief stabs him.
If Sarah Palin is so stupid, as many liberals claim, and she sees this truth, how stupid are the liberals then?

Interestingly liberals love to call Palin stupid, but what they fail to realize is she is smarter than the vast majority of them. So what does that say about liberals? Other than name calling a contrived outrage, liberals bring little to the table. Hence the reason all they can do is demonize and lie because they have no REAL platform or values.

I agree with former governor Palin on this point of nuclear treaty president Obama proposes.
I go further and believe the Obama administration is working for foreign powers to the detriment of the USA.
Requested:
1. Vote Obama supporters out of Congress.
2. Impeach Obama for treason.
3. Impose term limits in Congress.
4. Cleanup the federal bureaucracy to prevent bad regulation that are designed to hurt the USA (for example EPA taxing CO2).

Posted by: Lawrence | April 8, 2010, 3:54 pm 3:54 pm

What exactly has Sarah Palin said that upsets so many people? There is such HATRED of that woman for no apparent reason. What I find great is that she never actually said that she could see Russia from her house. She said that they were “next door neighbors,” obviously an allegory. But, for higher ratings, unscrupulous folks in the media spun and lied about this, it was exagerrated by Tina Fey, and then all the nimrods who are posting on here believe it! My my my, how sad it is when we can’t think for ourselves. How about those of you who read what I just posted, instead of blowing me off, why don’t you research what I just typed and then CONSIDER that maybe you’re wrong? Just a thought!

Posted by: Lazaro | April 8, 2010, 3:55 pm 3:55 pm

The comments from liberals attacking this women show they are hypocrits, ignorant, and weak. I don’t want her as President either, but she would be 100 times better than Obama, who already is without doubt the worst and most dangerous president in history. Those who still support him will be steamrolled soon and really need to look in the mirror and ask—”why am I so stupid??”"

Posted by: Richard S | April 8, 2010, 4:00 pm 4:00 pm

Sarah Palin is not Presidential material. She reminds me of the comedian or band that comes out before the main show to *whip up* the audience. Gives the same speech over and over……sarcasm, criticism, no solutions whatsoever…….she connects well with an angry audience but God help us all if she goes any further than what she is…….entertainment…..not serious politics.

Posted by: talkalotgal | April 8, 2010, 4:02 pm 4:02 pm

It’s amazing how the left is so scared of right wing conservative, well spoken woman… Where do you get Stupid from? Seriously…? Read an article why she left the Gov. seat and you may understand. Oh wait, then that would bring facts to the table which are Kryptonite to a Liberal. Can’t wait to vote in Nov.!! We will shut Obama down by pulling the plug on his seemingly endless cashflow.

Reading the comments here makes it perfectly clear that it’s not only the “lame stream media” that are getting “all wee wee’d up” about Governor Palin’s comments, but the entire lying Leftist lunatic core of the Democrat party doing so as well!

All of the foregoing comments from Liberals/Democrats about Sarah Palin only truly prove, beyond any reasonable doubt,that many Liberals/Democrats are petty, uneducated, and stupid .

Posted by: Al | April 8, 2010, 4:06 pm 4:06 pm

Anything that may interfere with the liberal utopian world, including Sarah
Palin invokes the “shut up and go away” remark because it interferes with the false reality in which liberals exist. On behalf of conservatives everywhere we would like liberals to just “shut up and go away” too because we are sick and tired of your meddling in everyone’s lives. If you want more government spending and entitlements, pay for them yourself and leave us and our kids out of it.

Most of the commenters on this board by people who are insulting this woman remind me of children when they jump in with the bully crowd – they seize on anything someone says or does and insults them – no matter what.

All of you liberals bashing palin like you do just make more and more people side with her. Keep it your just fueling the fire with the name calling and outrageous comments. In 2012 when she wins at least you all might do better on your post vote interviews and save face from the lack of knowledge you all had about Barry Soltero

Posted by: Nick | April 8, 2010, 4:11 pm 4:11 pm

The Tinfoil-Hat Brigade haters are scared silly of Governor Palin, and not for any of the reasons they give.
They’re frightened because they know that she shares the common-sense values with many more Americans than the Left can possibly muster up to vote for President B.O. again.
Whether of not she’s the nominee is irrelevant. What she stands for is best for America, and people will rally behind those ideals both this November, and in 2012.

Posted by: Ragnaar | April 8, 2010, 4:14 pm 4:14 pm

From the outside looking in, seems like Gov Palin has been right on much of Duh One’s agenda so far.
Drive towards socialism? Check. No fair minded person could possibly deny it.
Death Panels? You betcha. Obvious necessity whenever there is a limited amount of money and 30 million newly insured. Someone has to say no, and most of the nos will target old/infirmed people.
Obama as tax and spend liberal? Check again. Just wait til the VAT comes a knockin’ boys and girls.
Drill baby drill? Gas prices are rising again. sure would’ve been nice to have started drilling back in 2008. But of course drilling now won’t affect now, it takes 10 years to see that oil Obama said. Wouldn’t it have been good to start that 10 year clock 2 years ago, 12 years ago, 22 years ago??

Posted by: Just Wondering | April 8, 2010, 4:16 pm 4:16 pm

I think its hysterical to watch you liberal sheep lose it over Palin. Unsurprisingly you all have accepted the caricature that the media has presented to you. You accept everything they say without even a second thought. You have no mind of your own on ANY issue because you lap up what you are fed, and you have the unmitigated gall to criticize conservatives for not being thoughtful. Do your homework and stop being controlled, its truly sad. Have you ever conjured an original thought? Have you ever said ANYTHING that was not given to you by the hacks on tv? I understand its a comfortable place to be-soaking in the same dirty intellectual bathwater with everyone else but for christs sake, start doing your homework. Your all a joke.

Posted by: Darren | April 8, 2010, 4:18 pm 4:18 pm

If our nation and other nations adopted the Palin logic, we would all go on and endless arms race; with bullying and threatening as our main tool of internationalrelations. Simple logic tells us that the biggest strongest kid in the group can decide to befriend or threaten the smaller kids in the group. I think Obama has the right approach.

Harry Truman made the right decision. His use of the atom bomb (twice) saved tens of thousands of American lives and kept the Soviets from justifying an invasion of Japan. We had it before they did, and good thing, too. Had the reverse been true, God knows what the world would look like today.

I love these two ladies. Smart, conservative, and beautiful! I would vote for either one in a heartbeat. As for all the other personal attacks here, give me a break. True wisdom lies not in reading great speeches, but in making good decisions and being moral. By that measuring stick Obama is an idiot. He’s also weak, and weakness may make you popular in some circumstances but it will never make you respected.

Truman’s decision ended the war, and probably saved more lives than it took. But his successor, Eisenhower, one of America’s greatest generals said this: “First, the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon.” Oh, and he was a Republican too. Was he a limp wristed socialist hell bent on destroying America? Or just another stupid elitist liberal?

Hey Genius, this is part of the SALT treaty that was devoloped by RONALD REGAN in 1981, The first START proposal was presented by United States President Ronald Reagan in Geneva on 29 June 1982. Reagan proposed a dramatic reduction in strategic forces in two phases, which he referred to as SALT III at the time.[2] The first phase would reduce overall warhead counts on any missile type to 5,000, with an additional limit of 2,500 on ICBMs. Additionally, a total of 850 ICBMs would be allowed, with a limit of 110 “heavy throw” missiles like the SS-18, with additional limits on the total “throw weight” of the missiles as well. The second phase introduced similar limits on heavy bombers and their warheads, and other strategic systems as well.The START I treaty expired 5 December 2009. On 8 April 2010, the new START treaty was signed in Prague by U.S. President Obama and Russian President Medvedev. It will enter into force after its ratification through the parliaments of both countries
so I guess that means Regan wanted to be punched in the face too! Repulicans get your house in order and get rid of this dummy!. I may not agree with your politics most of the time but at least I had respect for your canidates. That ended 9 years ago

Oh and for those that say she is uneducated. You really need to do some fact checking. Agree with her or not she does have a bachelor’s degree from a University. I feel I need to state the fact that it was a University and not a College in case you name callers do not know the difference. You claim to be such smart people but yet you cannot do a simple check to see if someone has a degree before saying they are un-educated.
Come on. Lame.

McCain used her so he wouldnt win the election. He knew whatever person won the election would be stepping in front of a frieght train of problems. And the public would crucify that person for making the hard decisions to fix the problems the Republicans created. McCain didnt want that responsibility.

I got mine from the U of WA completely stoned, never going to class, and spending less time studying than I can count on my hands! They’re a joke! I don’t think she is stupid or uneducated, but I also don’t think anyone with a BA is automatically intelligent. She was smart enough to get elected to a top tier public office and be tapped for the VP. No one that is stupid can do that. Please, PLEASE, PUUHLEEZE vote for her in your next presidential primary. I want her to run for POTUS so bad it makes my nether regions twitch. CMON REPUBLICANS!!! NOMINATE SARAH!!! SHE’S THE BEST YOU HAVE!!!!

If you want to see the definition of stupidity, try looking at any politician who tells you that the Fed can cover health insurance costs for 30 million uninsurred Americans, and it won’t cause the deficit to increase. THAT is the definition of stupidity.
At least Palin and Bachmann has the brains to realize that $1.5 trillion annual budget deficit is going to destroy any chances this nation has to achieve economic prosperity.

Mrs. Palin is getting her nukelar facts from Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
Anyone coming out publicly to state that we need more nuclear weapons are pandering for votes and money. Sarah who was exposed for having no world view is the last person anyone would ask about nuclear weapons. Listening to Hannity, Palin and Bachmann you would think the US have regularly drop nuclear bombs on our “enemies.”

why do Liberals think they have a corner on intelligence? I spent a lot of years in higher education, and most of the liberals had very little common sense. They never had anyone confront their world views. Liberals are living in fantasy land. Unilaterally limiting one’s options to influence others projects weakness. If you hit me, I won’t hit you back is an invitation to get punched. Iran (after they literally stopped laughing yesterday), concluded that Obama’s policy was a sign of weakness. They openly stated it. [btw Bush made several bad foreign policy decisions of his own]

Off the teleprompter “police act stupidly”, people get “all wee weed up”, doctors “yank out tonsils and cut off feet”, the commander in chief not once but 3 or 4 times knows some naval “corpsemen”, during the campaign Obama traveled to “59 states”,
etc. etc. etc. – as VP Sarah Palin probably would have more smarts than to use the “f” word at a momunmental bill signing.

Just a little aside to all those posters who like to call Republicans “stupid”… Chris Matthews just said that the Civil War had 600,000 Americans shooting at each other “at point blank range across open fields”. I suppose there were was also a lot of long range shooting from inches away.

Never fear…the Democratic mindset will pull this country down. Most Dems are childlike. No threats, No enemies, No worries. After the next election the democrats will never rise to the level they are now. They will fall to the side and become part of another era in American politics. An era that will be scorned by those who look back.

The bile spewing from the hateful leftists against Palin proves all by itself that she would be our best candidate for president in 2012. They are petrified of her because they actually recognize that her natural leadership ability alone will blow away their perpetually campaigning hero Obama.
They HATED Reagan just as much … and he won by a LANDSLIDE! (twice)

You Libs blame Palin for all your problems. Obama has been ruining the country 15 months now with:
record deficits
record unemployment
record spending
record bank failures
a war that has openly spread to Pakistan
record troop deaths in Afghanistan
continued secret wiretaps
Gitmo still open
record Democrat scandals
etc.

Posted by: Susan | April 8, 2010, 6:09 pm 6:09 pm

Why does everything she talks about relate to a fight? “It’s kinda like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face..” if you are ready to fight, doesn’t that imply your challenging someone to punch you. And Obama didn’t say we wouldn’t respond, he said we would not respond with a nuclear weapon.Is that the kind of leader we would have with Palin? someone says something she doesn’t like, and so she drops a nuclear bomb. Funny she didn’t have that attitude when she was getting “picked on” as governor…she just took her ball quit.

Posted by: paolo | April 8, 2010, 6:10 pm 6:10 pm

Frank,
Clue in dude..you want to call the christmas bombing attempt a terrorist attack, fine, but don’t forget the shoe bomber, under Bush and Cheney. And don’t forget, it was under their watch we had 9/11. Want to to talk about doubling the deficit, don’t forget Bush inherited a surplus and left us with a huge deficit. Want to talk national defense, we have enough nukes to incinerate the globe several times over. After the first several hundred detonate, does it really matter that you have a thousand more ready to go? As several people have pointed out, even the Republican God Ronald Reagan, realized enough is enough. OOOpps…maybe he was a liberal too.

Where to begin?
1)Annoying – yes. Dumb – no.
2) A WORLD without nukes is great. Our country without nukes when others have them or are acquiring them is shear stupidity.
3) 3-10 trillion is roughly what Obama has given us in the past 14 months
4) “Well, Bush did it” should not be an excuse to waste money. He was a deadbeat President. What is happening now is even worse. Wake up.
5) Hannity and Palin are great gimmocks, but they do not represent the true conservative base. They are show pieces.

Wow, comments from both sides seem a little immature. I will say this. Obama is not who America hoped for. Although, we now have a lot of Americans who voted for him now crying snake. They should have done their research before voting the way they did. It’s not (shouldn’t be anyway) a popularity contest.
I’m a staunch fiscal conservative and on most issues agree with the philosophies of the republican party. But I can’t get on board with Palin and our former President Bush.
I think the real problem is that the executive branch of government has too much power at the moment, and the federal government has their fingers in too many people’s pockets. Power always has and always will corrupt. Limit our ridiculous government and we will have less polarization in this great country.

Here’s even MORE encouraging news, folks (and BAD news for Obama and the Dems): Gallup has just found that 65% of those polled do NOT think that Congressional incumbents deserve re-election, this year.
Now, some Obamaniks may come on here and try the usual, predictable response to such news by saying ‘well, that means people don’t like the GOP, either! It’s not just against the Dems!”
And here’s what Gallup has to say about that (from the same poll):
“Voters’ anti-incumbent mood is like nothing Gallup has seen in the past four midterm election cycles. While that could have a negative impact on incumbents from both parties, the greater exposure of the Democrats by virtue of their majority status means greater risk for their candidates. Additionally, both parties have seen their majority control of Congress wiped out in midterm elections with less anti-incumbent fervor than is seen today. Simply put, the party in power seems to take the brunt of voters’ wrath in these situations. Gallup’s latest generic ballot readings on the vote for Congress, in which support for Democratic candidates is precariously low for that party, point to a similar conclusion.”
Read it and weep, Dems…and it’s hardly just Gallup, showing this kind of thing…it’s virtually EVERY poll, out there. You guys flipped us the bird, slandered us, and flat-out IGNORED us for over a year, and pushed stuff through anyway no matter how much we screamed we didn’t want it. And in doing so, you conveniently forgot one tiny, little detail.
WE are YOUR bosses — and not the other way around.
And come November, WE…ARE…GOING…TO…FIRE…YOU.
Take it from an independent — we also oppose Obama and the Dems by decidedly lopsided margins.

First of all Palin’s comment have nothing to do with the START treaty just signed.

Sarah Palin has MORE executive experience and education about domestic/world affairs in her little finger than hussein does in his entire body (as well as his marxist cabinet members) all of whom have NEVER EVER held down a real job in the real world.
Those of you who view Sarah Palin as some some backwoods imbecile must’ve voted for the WORST U.S. President ever.
It’s Ok if Sarah Palin does not run for federal office some day. But it is crystal clear to me that we would all be better off IF she does, hands down much better than the worthless imbecile we have in office today.
Elections have they’re consequences and we’re seeing it up close and personal these days. Taxation, taxation and more taxation. If you are better off financially today then you were just a year ago, then more power to you. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans are much worse off thanks to hussein and his criminal minions.

She’s been like Dorothy dumping water on the Wicked Witch, who whines “I’m melting, I’m melting” as she shrinks to nothing, all the while blaming Dorothy for her demise.
I don’t know if I’d ever vote for her, but its fun watching her critics melt down!

This country and the President would be well-served by a well-informed and principled political opposition.
It is a pity that none exists. All we have are ignorant demogogues like Palin pursuing personal fame and glory at the expense of the country.
I for one am sticking with President Obama, in part because he seems like the only adult on the scene.

The question arises: Does Senator John McCain have the courage to disagree with ex-governor Palin on nuclear proliferation? If not, he is the moral equivalent of a limp rag doll.

Posted by: Robert Mann | April 8, 2010, 10:19 pm 10:19 pm

Wow, I bet most people commenting don’t have a clue what is going on in the real world. Her comments aren’t about limiting the amount of nukes we have, her comments were about Obama saying that we won’t use nukes on a country that uses BIOLOGICAL or CHEMICAL weapons against us. I don’t see how anyone, liberal or conservative, could think that is a smart thing to say.

And didn’t a Democrat just express fear that an island would capsize if we put too many troops on it? Pelosi, man, what a respecter of the Constitution she is! Barney Frank, didn’t he say there were no problems with Fannie May and Freddie Mac? Yep, you’re right, you Democrats are much smarter!

The United States has a whole range of weapons that could and woould be used to respond appropriately to any hypothetical CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, or “CYBER” attacks on this country.
Ex-governor Palin and the other demogogues DO NOT UNDERSTAND what nuclear weapons are. Where in the hell would they drop a NUCLEAR WEAPON in response to a chemical, biological, or cyber attack? On a city?

Actually the President’s new policy leaves the nuclear option open in response to a GRAVE THREAT presented by the use of a massive new type of BIOLOGICAL WEAPON. So he is absolutely not inviting such an attack.

Got to go with Palin on this one. You don’t have to be an expert in “nukes” to know when you’ve given up a tactical or strategic advantage. The art of war has always been keeping your enemy guessing: Not knowing what you might do is a vital deterrent. No wise commander gives up advantage.

Posted by: Redford | April 8, 2010, 11:18 pm 11:18 pm

Wow, if Palin said twice as many of the dumb things that she is accused of saying, she wouldn’t even be half as dumb as Joe Binden, who for some reason is treated as some Democrat elder statesman. Between the men of both parties who are scared of a powerful woman and the women who are jealous of her, I don’t think that Palin has any chance of getting the nomination (and she’s much more fun to listen to than Hillary).

It’s amazing how threatened the left is by Palin. Their hatred and vitriol reflects an obvious fear. In sports, you don’t demonize non-threatening teams, but rather, your most competetive rival. She’s about empowering individuals and creative freedom. The “intelligence” needed for American exceptionalism comes from the people, not the politicians. Jimmy Carter’s “intelligence” was a disaster. Sarah Palin’s compass points in the right direction, and that is what really terrifies the relativist left.

well, I am back after all but only to repeat a post by someone else as it was apropos (appropriate for you lefties):
Remember what Teddy Roosevelt said:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

Sarah has sharp insights which reveal the truth, even if she presents them in a “plain” manner. Anyone calling that stupid is avoiding the reality of what is in her words… or rather attacking her because the truth hurts.

Kim, Obama never made derrogatory comments about anyone? How many jobs is he making right now for us? He promised so many things that will never happen. How about that Democratic congress the last 2 years of Bush’s term? Who was really in charge when the bottom fell out of the housing market?? The Dem’s wanted everyone to own a home…well they did, and now they can’t…How about Barney Frank?? How about those lovely perks the Dems were getting from their financial buddies?? Talk about stupid. The media is slanting Palin’s abilities, just as they gemmed up Obama pretending he had any exectutive decision-making skills at all…now look at the mess we are in, and that isn’t Bush’s fault…this guy can’t fix anything much less come up with a complete sentence that isn’t written for him and displayed on a teleprompter….oh yeah, and I’d vote her in office, and many of my female colegues would as well. She shares my values and what I believe in. It’s pitiful the left must tear her down constantly. I’ve seen plenty of interviews of “dumb” statements by people in office, can we say Joe Biden and even Obama?? WHY DO THEY GET A PASS?

Posted by: Rtate | April 9, 2010, 12:48 am 12:48 am

Cheryl,
Please supply legitimate quotes of Sarah Palin’s ‘racism’… you will not find any because they do not exist. Since we are judging people on how they conduct themselves, I’m wondering how intelligent you are with your poorly constructed and grammatically incorrect paragraph. Do not cast jugements on others pretending you are in the same class as high minded people. You don’t even bother to investigate reality. If you are going to accuse Sarah of racism, please quote reliable sources for all to see. And Hillary is an example for all intelligent women? She may have book knowledge and be shrewd politically, but she’s far from someone to be looked up to in ‘intelligence’. For example, she wasn’t very smart about Bill now was she? Which brings me to morals. It’s interesting you bring up that topic. So what did Hillary know all those years? And now they don’t even live in the same house!It’s an interesting line of thinking and very funny you should bring up morality. Additionally, you act like Whitewater never happened. Seriously, the woman is far from a saint. And then there was her healthcare boondoggle…You sound so afraid of anyone with position different from yours. You throw out terrible comments yourself and blame another for doing just that. Furthermore, you are quick to name call and throw out the racism card without any facts or complete sentences. How high-minded and intelligent is that? You sound more intollerant of people you deem beneath you and not worthy of having a dissenting thought. I’m sick of it really. It’s funny how people on the left pretend to be tolerant and really aren’t.

Every slam against Ms.Palin is worn like a badge of honor. Keep it up. A true leader has the heart of a servant. Listen to an Obama lecture and count how many times he says “I”. If America loses our freedom we have nowhere to go. If all you lemmings want to follow Obama off the cliff, go to Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, etc. and do it there, and let real Americans prosper without you.

Posted by: Patrick | April 9, 2010, 1:45 am 1:45 am

I’m conservative and I’m not a fan of Obama, and I can’t stand McPalin and all her BS. She abandoned her promised service to Alaskans for a book tour and FoxNews show. Who sees this as leadership? And what about McCain? Hasn’t he been disregarding our Constitution? Doesn’t McCain try to undermine our Constitution like smooching with Kennedy in a dark room? So McPalin goes and blindly supports a progressive like McCain at the expense of the American people and the country, simply because it is a situation of returning favors. If that is the case, This is unbelievable to me!!! What if McCain wins and he’s the deciding vote on Amnesty??? What then? Are we all going to be better off because McPalin returned personal favors? No one should be supporting these pathetic frauds.
If Reps want to eliminate real choices in 2012 like you did in 2008, they will be sorry in the most painful way. As a conservative, I promise my vote is going to Obama before McPalin. Sad, but true.

How is it that the democrats and liberals have positioned themselves the “smart” party when they are the party full of people who used LSD in the 70′s and are packed full of essentially uneducated English and Liberal Arts majors who have the audacity to lecture a host of Business MBAs about economics?

Hey Diane, you say Palin would get us another 3-10 trillion in debt? What are you even talking about? Besides, obama is the one running record deficits and asking congress to increase the debt ceiling. (even though in 2006 obama very vocally criticized bush for doing the exact same thing)
As far as Palin’s intelligence, you’re right, she is far from the brightest bulb in the box, which makes it even sadder that she would still be 100 times better than the current Messiah Marxist-in-Chief.
By the way, I’m not some Faux news watching neo-con, I’m a Libertarian, and pretty much think republicans suck, too, but come on, how can anybody still be supporting Obama? Hasn’t the kool-aid worn off yet? You people need to wake up. I didn’t think it would ever be possible to have a worse president than bush, but obama has certainly proven me wrong.

Posted by: mgarmon | April 9, 2010, 5:00 am 5:00 am

I’m a Democrat and a liberal, and I think Obama’s nuclear announcement is about the dumbest thing a president has ever said. Thankfully it’s meaningless… if a nuclear situation came up, a no-nuke President wouldn’t stay President for very long. It’s pretty much an instant treason scenario.
People are generally afraid of nukes, but I think it’s because of too many Hollywood action movies and poor understanding of the technology. Remember when the US used nukes in WWII it averted 20x the lowest predicted casualties from a land based invasion of Japan. This is basic high school history folks, we have an excellent track record with these, yes they are incredibly serious destructive weapons, but it’s the rest of the world in this case that screwed things up.
We created nuclear technology, the rest of the world stole it from us thru espiange. That right there is proof that other countries can’t be trusted, the only rational stance is that they demonstrate good faith any completely disarm before we do.
I think a lot of you commenting need to do a lot more reading about this stuff. Every person here has just been some knee jerk reactionary with little substance besides different flavors of shallow political propaganda. This is a mistake for Obama, probably cost him a re-election, we’re going to lose Congress in November (let’s hope it isn’t a big percentage) and we all better hope that this doesn’t embolden some of the really bad countries out there. I know there’s a lot of anti-military kooks out there, but remember the US with nukes is a deterent to potential regional chemical, biological and yes potential nuclear conflicts.
Obama really screwed up here, we need to stop being the same as blind conservative zealots and critisize our own when they make errors. There’s nothing good about this, if our President has the same class he’s demonstrated before – he’ll admit his mistake and correct it.

When did the Democrats get the idea that all of there voters are the educated ones and all the Republicans are uneducated? It seems to me all the dreggs of society and a few Elitists vote Democrat and the hard working, tax paying, business type people vote Republican. Another word for all you super educated.An education doesn’t make you wise or smart for that matter . I have met ALOT of educated idiots in my day. But when you test out in the top 2% on an IQ test MOST of you strike me as morons.How can the Democrats claim they are the smart ones when a large portion of they’re voters are minority. Have you seen the drop out numbers of minorities? Yep yous the smart party. Maybe you just don’t have the mental capacity to understand Republicans so you call them dumb,stupid,uneducated.The reality is Republicans have an overall higher education level on average.

@Diane Gonsalves, who wrote: ” If we want to go another 3-10 trillion dollars in debt, vote for Sarah.” We don’t have to wait to vote for Sarah, Obama is already on track to increase the Debt by $8 trillion.

Wow you are all so clever making fun of sarah palin. But noone is addressing the essense of her argument. Which, as I see it, is this: the world is full of grown up school yard bullies and the only way to deal with schoolyard bullies is to stand up to them and be ready to fight them if necessary. Talking to a schoolyard bully is a waste of breath the only thing the schoolyard bully will respond to is the threat of someone who he knows is stronger than him and would win a fight.

The Right is Right. Sarah beleives in personnal responsibility, controlled spending and has great faith. All you Goverment supported worthless mudslingers should get off your ass and get a job. You know one of the great jobs Obama has created for you. Tax Tax Tax read about the history of the “Sons of Liberty” if you need to know where our country started. I ramble so I stop now.

Let’s see can someone who makes fun of sarah palin explain to me a few thing because I guess I’m not that sharp either – 1. Why should we trust russia they seem to not really carry through on agreements very well. 2. Why we think us disarming will convince iran north korea et al to not want nuclear weapons. I have seen nothing that leads me to believe what we do will make any difference in what they do. And 3. Why the united states getting rid of its ability to defend itself and its allies is a good thing. Because its not just getting rid of nukes he is also getting rid of missile defense, gutting defense spending, leaving our borders wide open, stopping the space program, getting rid of submarines and stopping the building of new aircraft…

Posted by: julie | April 9, 2010, 7:58 am 7:58 am

Whatever criticisms (or media induced biases) you may have with Sarah Palin – she is exactly correct on this point. Rogue countried around the world, even those without nuclear weapons, have the capability to manufacture weapons like Sarin gas, which could kill hundreds of thousands if releaased over a city like New York. If that occurred and the offender was clearly identified, they should know they will face nuclear retaliation. That threat of destruction is no different than what kept the Cold War from turning hot for decades. Removing that deterrent is an absurdly stupid move on Obama’s part, and she has correctly called him out on it. Period.

Wow. Sarah Palin has never claimed to be a brain surgeon, people. Nor did W, if I recall. Both are ‘way smarter than most of their detractors. And, of course, subject to being underestimated. So go on, mock if you wish, use up all that energy finding fault with people who want to do something (as opposed to sitting on your backside mocking), but remember this: The doers get something done, and the mockers don’t.

Posted by: Steve | April 9, 2010, 8:34 am 8:34 am

Sounds like another disaster like 911 is in the works. When President Obama makes statements like if our enemies attack us with chemical or biological weapons he would not use any means possible to defend this country against a attack like that, you have to ask yourself, would Obama turn weapons of mass destruction against the American citizens? To make statements such as he would not use nukes to defend this country, that message is meant for our enemy’s security, not the american people security. Where did a statement like that come from in the first place? Be scared america, God damn the united states of america, not God bless the united states of america, keeps ringing in my ears. God bless all of you and keep your powder dry!

Posted by: mike | April 9, 2010, 8:35 am 8:35 am

To all of you that are naive enough to think that we ‘Don’t Need Nukes’ – wake up…we live in a world where most countries only understand power and the threat of its use if attacked. Giving up ANY of our arsenal invites attact. Back when I was a kid – this was known as M.A.D. – Mutual Assured Destruction – if you nuke us, we’ll nuke you 10 times over. Funny thing is, that it worked – no one dared deploy their nukes on our country because it was a given we’d wipe them out…
I’d rather listen to Palin for 15 minutes than the arrogant – America Hating Manchurian Teleprompter…wake the heck up you leftists – stop destroying our Constitution and Country…!

Nice that Fox News doesn’t even have the facts right. If there is a biological attack, then Obama said we do have the ability to use nuclear weapons. Their entire point is based off of false information.

THEY WILL ALL BE VOTED OUT IN 2010-2012. ON PALIN LETTING HER DAUGHTER BLA BLA. SHE DID NOT KNOW MORONS. SAME AS OTHER MOTHERS DONT KNOW WHERE THEIR DAUGHTER ARE EVERY SECOND.

Posted by: julie | April 9, 2010, 9:09 am 9:09 am

Actually, it’s more like a “kick me” sign on a kid’s back.
All this theater by Obama on nukes is designed to distract us from the fact that the economy is abysmal and not getting any better. It will be difficult for this to occur given his doubling of the debt left by Bush in just over 400 days, his saddling us with higher taxes and his general ineptitude when dealing with free market economy issues.
The nuke stuff is irrelevant and a slight of hand being done to make you feel that he is “doing something”. Typical Obama, style over substance.

It would be worth it to see Palin get the Republican nomination in 2012 so we can watch all of the liberals froth at the mouth, go into convulsions until their heads explode.

Sarah is exactly right here! The difference between the Bush analogy in Iraq and what she says about Obama is that the left has the STUPID notion that if won’t retaliate then nobody would attack us..very stupid.

You know it would be very nice if you would actually analyze the fairness and accuracy of Palin’s attacks, rather than just report them. If she disagreed with Obama over the best way to brush your teeth, saying brushing with milkshake instead of toothpaste was the best way to go, I bet you’d just report that as a he said, she said, like this article is.

Posted by: Brian | April 9, 2010, 10:04 am 10:04 am

Didn’t Ronald Reagan also sign a treaty with the Russians to reduce are nuclear arsenal by 30%? If Sarah Palin thinks that Pres. Obama is harming our national security stance by reducing our arsenal, does that mean that she is also a likely a critic of Pres. Reagan? Seems so.

Fools. The best way to not have people attack you is to be strong, and be able to fight. Ask anyone who has ever lived in a bad neighborhood or spent more than one night in jail.
The reason for having the nuclear weapons is the same, the ability to fight keeps other nations (China, Russia, Iran etc) from trying to challenge us. It’s very simple psychology, why it eludes so many of you remains a mystery.

You already have that increase in debt you speak of. Obama gave it to you. To blame Palin for Obama’s work is rediculous. As for Bush, his increase in the national debt is almost as bad but, at least it was spent of what the NATIONAL government is supposed to be spending on; the common defense. Ditch Health care and all other spending until the debt is gone. Yes, shut it down.

Sarah Palin said, “No administration in America’s history would, I think, ever have considered such a step that we just found out President Obama is supporting today.”
That’s true, with one exception. Ronald Reagan said, “Some argue that the spread of these weapons cannot be stopped, cannot be checked -– that we are destined to live in a world where more nations and more people possess the ultimate tools of destruction. Such fatalism is a deadly adversary, for if we believe that the spread of nuclear weapons is inevitable, then in some way we are admitting to ourselves that the use of nuclear weapons is inevitable.
Just as we stood for freedom in the 20th century, we must stand together for the right of people everywhere to live free from fear in the 21st century. And as nuclear power –- as a nuclear power, as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act. We cannot succeed in this endeavor alone, but we can lead it, we can start it.”
I believe Reagan was a Republican.

To All Who Believe a “world without nuclear weapons”….get a clue. Seriously. Thats never gonna happen. I dont much care for Palin…and i definetly dont care for Obama. But nuclear weapons is the only reason why these rouge nations (N. Korea, and Iran) arent attacking us or our allies. Obama is weak…and is making this country weaker. This healthcare bill is gonna make us 15 trillion dollars in debt..so the one who said vote for palin for another 3-10 trillion dollars in debt…you voted for a president who is socialist and wants “world peace.” that is something that will never happen. But there is something called “war-time” peace…and the nuclear activity in this world…is preventing another world war. All of you need to get your facts straight.

Posted by: Brady | April 9, 2010, 12:10 pm 12:10 pm

Thanks to John Stewart for pointing out that Obama’s treaty parrots almost word for word what Reagan wanted- end goal of eliminating all nukes, but a shorter-term 30% reduction in nuclear arsenals.

Obama is a delusional narcissist who has actually convinced himself that foreign leaders, friend and foe alike, are enamored with his incoherent verbosity.

We should call her Half Governor Palin; or maybe, Sarah Palin, the former half-term governor of Alaska. Just some thoughts. I know if she is elected president some day, I will feel so safe knowing she has her finger on the button for launching our nuclear weapons, especially since her former church in Alaska believes that nuclear war is inevitable and only Alaska will be spared from destruction.

Nancy Pelosi called healthcare a great acheivement like Medicaid and social security. Yah great programs that are failing and broke. If you want to talk about “stupid” republicans we can talk about incompetent liberals too. Just because we do away with nukes doesn’t mean our enemies will, I’m sure Iran or North Korea would be elated at the idea that we could no longer use nuclear weapons.

Why bother, we can keep Obama in. He’s doing just fine ruining this country with the Trillions already spent by him. Why are the Obama puppets so blind they can’t see how evil this man is. Stick to what people are doing…not because they have an R/D by their name.

If you think the US lost respect when Bush was president…i can only imagine what would happen if this idiot was in power…its really scary. A shame that someone like that would even be considered…makes you question the intellectual state of the union because without a doubt, she is one of the dumbest politicians i have ever seen.

Instead of attacking her personally, as so many of you are fond of, I wonder how you think it helps our country to say what Obama said? It seems his mission to make the US look bad, no matter how it affects the country in the long term. I’m not a big fan of Sara Palin, but she really has a great point here. The real power of the nuke option is the threat; eliminate that, and we’re stuck with nothing. And Diane, we don’t need to vote for Sara to go another 9 trillion in debt, Obama and the congress has already taken care of that for us!

Another example of the liberal mind set of American’s.
All though I am not a big Fan of Sarah Palin, I am very suspect of the people who pass judgment and call her stupid.
Seems to me that when it comes to common sense solutions that face our country, she is at least viewing them in the correct light and communicating a logical and positive path to solve the issues.
Maybe all you haters should stop acting the victim, stop demanding entitlements and earn something for yourselves before you mount your high horse and explain why you should be making decisions for the rest of the country.
Just a thought! It is always easier to call her stupid and attack her than it is to debate the policies. Like every single progressive liberal.

You people can’t be serious. Yes it’s a good thing for the US and Russia to begin disarming nucleur weapons… but we don’t live in a perfect world! Russia has no intention of abiding by this “agreement”. We will disarm 1/3 of our arsenal, and Russia will just keep theirs (while moving forward with their technology), or they’ll just send 1/3 of their nukes to China and Iran. And you think they’ll let Americans come in and count all their weapons? Really? The best part about this: it’s all so Iran will MAYBE stop their nuclear production. Does Obama really think Iran will say: “Oh look at the US. They’re getting rid at some of their nukes. Let’s stop building ours since we respect them so much.” Hell no they won’t! They’ll destroy Israel then us the first chance they get. It wasn’t enough for Obama to cancel our Missile Defense System. You say how would we pay for this? Maybe Obama should’ve thought about that before passing his just short of a TRILLION dollar healthcare package. If he keeps this up, we won’t need healthcare because we’ll all be dead.

Oh please. Dems are not scared of Sarah Palin. We are giddy with delight that she actually could be top of the ticket for the GOP in 2012. That would translate to possibly the biggest electoral landslide in history for Obama’s second term. Sarah Palin cannot be taken as a serious threat. We simply can’t believe the stuff that she comes up with. One poster tirelessly keeps asking why Dems keep calling Sarah names and don’t state a specific reason SP is misinformed. Yet many Dem posters have explained exactly where Palin is mistaken here.
Republicans will be too scared to do this but I’ll suggest it anyway. Watch Jon Stewart blow away Palin, Hannity and Fox News for misunderstanding the text of the agreement Obama signed and somehow forgetting that it was Ronald Reagan that wanted a world without nuclear arms and a reduction of a third of the US arsenal. Even George W. Bush cut back the number of nukes. Republicans didn’t complain in either case. But Obama does the same and you’d think someone had kidnapped your firstborn the way you are acting. Seek out the Jon Stewart clip. It clearly shows fox news’ biased and inaccurare reporting in this instance. Palin’s schoolyard analogy is idiotic when checked against the facts. To quote Ronald Reagan, “There she goes again.”
So to recap, dems LOVE Sarah Palin. We aren’t frightened of her or threatened by her at all. We love to hear her go on and on and on about all things political. PLEASE let her run in 2012. It will be the greatest gift you could give the Democratic Party.

What a dumb-ass policy – taking options off the table for how we would respond to a chemical attack. What naive childishness. The president is a baffoon. What a freaking idiot. He’s trying to cut America down to size and empower the “oppressed” terror nations. Freaking damn idiot.

So, Sarah Palin says “No administration in America’s history would, I think, ever have considered such a step that we just found out President Obama is supporting today”?
To borrow a phrase from Ronald Reagan, my first response is to say “Wel, there you go again!”. Yes, again it’s typical “Palin”, the way she convolutes and conditionalizes whatever she says. “I think”, she inserts, midway in her above sentence, presumably to safeguard herself (in her own mind at least) against having to state a “fact” that may upon questioning be proven to NOT be a “fact”.
Second, her analogy of kids just eager for a fight: Well, I would say, here she’s partly right but she’s also partly wrong. Right, on going with strength rather than weakness. Wrong, in her knowledge (or lack thereof) of the historical record. Even Nixon, Reagan, Bush Senior, Clinton, sought to limit nuclear-arms proliferation and the threat of nuclear war, and some of those Presidents actually succeeded in REDUCING the numbers of nuclear weapons possessed by BOTH sides. Further, while simple possession of nuclear-arms CAN be a deterrent, I wonder how aware Palin is of the ALTERNATIVE, NON-nuclear ICBM’s & related high-power weaponry in the US arsenal — weapons that can ALSO be a strong deterrent?

I had my doubts about Palin before, but I think she has what it takes that many men wish they had! (ba!!s)
Palin still has more experience than Obama. And the present experience that Obama is getting is more scary than impressive.

Sarah Palin is not uneducated, she has an education. You just do not like that she is just a regular person.

Posted by: CookieMonster | April 9, 2010, 4:55 pm 4:55 pm

I bet Sarah can at least name her favorite professional sports team player and pronounce her favorite sports complex correctly. This current regime president can’t even do that!

In the pronouncement of his latest National Security Memorandum; and, in a mind-numbing display of unparalleled naivete’ on National Security matters, Obama has given non-nuclear regimes what amounts to a cart-blanche to launch chem/bio attacks on American citizens. Obama has for many years had an obsession with his perceived evils of all-things nuclear: from nuclear weapons, to nuclear power, to fissile materials in general; while failing to comprehend the comparative devastating loss of life that would occur with a WMD/Bio attack on an American population center. The dispensing of a payload of weaponized antrax from a conventional crop-duster aircraft fitted with a dry-agent disseminator over an American city could have a significantly greater lethality-index than the detonation of a sizable nuclear warhead over that same city. Is there any wonder that America’s antagonists view Obama from the perspective of amused ridicule? America is paying an agonizing, and perhaps irreparable price for having elected such a severely mis-guided “incompetent”. Greg Neubeck

All this talk coming from the left that Palin is so stupid, well where are Obama’s high school and college records, why did he have his background info sealed? What is Obama hiding? Was he an affirmative action token at Harvard? Was he an affirmative action token on the Law Review, Me thinks so….

Posted by: Billy | April 9, 2010, 5:07 pm 5:07 pm

-Missy-
I guess you libs think it’s ok for BO to hide all his school records but Bush had to show every grade he ever made. BO must have flunked out or he would be proud to show us the records. He sure is another Harvard “educated” idiot.
Posted by: missy | Apr 8, 2010 5:44:53 PM
I agree except that I beleive he hides his school records because he doesn’t want us to know who paid for his school and what country his records may show he is from!

so typical of you liberals. When you can’t refute the argument you resort to namecalling. You’re SOOO intelligent you can’t?

Posted by: dumb republican | April 9, 2010, 5:22 pm 5:22 pm

Before you judge the ladies from this piece you need to see the show. Most of this is out of context. Sarah and Michelle are the most scary thing libs have ever seen and all the posts here prove it. If they are so dumb, why do you even read these pieces or take time to post? There were over 10K people at that rally. Numbers speak politics. I don’t think there will be any democratic congressional rallies this round that will even come close to hitting these numbers.

I really wonder why liberals spew such hate towards this woman. I tought liberals were compassionate intelligent caring people who could debate issues with a cool head.
Guess not!

I love her because she is a liberal agitator. Look how they come out to whine hatred from such a compasionate party. libs libs libs

Here we go again-taking things out of context and running with it; Even Georg W would not drop a nuke, which would kill millions, on a country who may have used Saran gas on hundreds; So what is the problem? You think Obama would not retaliate? Of course he would just not with a nuke.

Posted by: shabu622 | April 9, 2010, 5:41 pm 5:41 pm

It is amazing how many nimrods are threatened by Sarah Palin. It’s also equally amazing that the majority of liberals do know who Sarah Palin is, but a certain percentage of those same people can’t name the current Vice President of the United States. And even after Joe Biden has proven over and over that he is about as sharp as a bowling ball they still think Palin is worse. Biden is perfect in his role as the village idiot and he provides great security to Obama. After all no harm will ever come to President Obama as long as Joe Biden is next in line to be president!
Understand this people! If you adopt a rule that says your army won’t fire unless the enemy is within 50 feet, you DON’T announce it! Otherwise the enemy will stand 51 feet from you and destroy you!

Funny, how no one on the right comments on how Regan did exactly the same thing and reduced our arms by 1/3.. But he was great for doing that huh… oh time you viscous mistress you.

Posted by: ChrisPy | April 9, 2010, 5:55 pm 5:55 pm

At least Jimmy Carter got a phony promise from the Russians not to build any more nukes if we stopped building ours. Obama wants to get rid of our nukes without even that much. Furthermore, he actually believes that this will encourage Iran and North Korea to stop developing their own weapons. Even for those with an unhinged hatred of Palin, her analogy to school yard bulleys is a fair one. Anyone who’s ever been in a school yard would know this, which gives new meaning to the term, are you smarter than a fifth grader?

Posted by: Matt Pate | April 9, 2010, 5:57 pm 5:57 pm

Palin is an idiot,this woman just got her passport like 2 years ago and now she knows the in’s and out’s of nuclear warheads. I get the populist thing with her, but the lady has no intelligence behind any of her talking points to explain her ideas further yet these tea party morons support her like they are following Ron Reagan himself.

Posted by: Tyler D | April 9, 2010, 5:57 pm 5:57 pm

Both Bachmann and Sarah are selfish Idiots and are hoping to someday generate the same huge incomes like Hannity, Beck & Limbaugh by spreading lies, hatred and deceiving the tea-pary idiots who hang on to their every word without doing their own homework on the truth in this nation and like Glen Beck said “he does not care about the political process, it’s entertainment to him” do these people not get what’s driving the idiots that they’re listening to – it’s all about generating money for themselves!

Posted by: Bella | April 9, 2010, 5:58 pm 5:58 pm

If only we had a la carte (ooh, that’s French, my bad!) cable/satellite TV. I’d really rather not be a forced Fox News subscriber. The Major is o.k., but Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly and their ilk are so relentlessly full of fearmongering, divisive “you’re not gettin’ yours” crap that they’re a national liability. Like them, when it comes to gaming gullible voters, Sarah Palin’s willful ignorance works to her advantage. How so? We’ve all heard them say it–”I like Sarah ’cause she’s just like me and my friends!” If she’s got to keep appearing on TV, mud wrestling sounds about right–fits right in with mud-slinging, which she’s expert at.

I thought the Sarah-supporters were nicely summed up by Kim’s comments:
“go girl speak the truth and keep the heat on the mighty oboma, the media and daboma lovers keep shown who are really the bias ones.”
For some reason the phrase “functional illiterate” comes to mind.
Darned good thing s/he isn’t in charge of anything important…like pressing the right button for a nuclear bomb.

Where do you find the truth? Everyone has their own spin? The truth I’m faced with is that my paycheck is shrinking.

Posted by: CookieMonster | April 9, 2010, 6:27 pm 6:27 pm

The other truth is that my rights as an American Christian are shrinking as well. I see it in my daily life. Unless I am radical, I have been told I cannot express my views. So what do you have to follow except those that are speaking up for my rights? I will definately vote for the most conservative representative out there!

Posted by: CookieMonster | April 9, 2010, 6:38 pm 6:38 pm

Palin is a scold and mocker. When she’s not mocking, she’s scolding and when she’s not scolding, she’s mocking.

Putin can’t even be bothered to meet with the Organizer-in-Chief. He sends his version of Joe Biden, Medvedev, to the signing. The Russians, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, et al, all figure they can steamroll this guy on any issue. Makes Jimmy Carter look like Iron Man.

Posted by: Ray | April 10, 2010, 6:45 am 6:45 am

Boy, Hannity nailed it. If some country “Cyber Attacks” us, we NEED to Nuke them back to the Stone Age.
Pailn And Bachmann are, to use a phrase from the early ’60′s: “Bubble Heads”.. (a pre-cursor to Airhead).. Between the two of them they don’t have a complete, functioning, brain cell.
If they would just close their mouths, like they have closed their minds, put on a thong and “jiggle” around the stage, it would be better for the viewers and the political content wouldn’t change!!

Even Ronald Reagan was uncomfortable with nuclear weapons. George Bush 41 signed a nuclear weapons treaty with Russia following entry into office, and our most recent treaty expired in December. Palin has no clue what she’s talking about – she still isn’t reading. The US Army has determined that 311 nuclear weapons is adequate protection for the US and our allies. The treaty Obama signed with the Russian President allows for far more than that number.

Open comment to Sarah Palin:
It is not like a kid saying “Go ahead, punch me in the face. I won’t retaliate.”
It is more like a kid saying “If you punch me in the face I will punch your face back, harder than you can imagine, but I promise not to incinerate you and make your land unlivable for generations on end.”

Posted by: A. Linder | April 10, 2010, 9:55 pm 9:55 pm

To think that anyone feels that the people of the world will survive unscathed from a NUCLEAR conflict?
WWII was called the war to end all war. Hmmm!
Did that work? Hmmm!
What does Pallin and her Republican cohorts think the boy on the playground should do?
Carry a machine gun around at the playground?
NOT A REAL SOLUTION! in my humble opinion!

“No administration in America’s history would, I think, ever have considered such a step…”
Weren’t all of these moving towards disarmament, or at least not building more nuclear weapons:SALT, SALT II, START, START II, NPT?

No, (psycho) Sarah, it is actually more like the American people standing up and saying “We no longer will be punched in the face by the insane, immoral, unhealthy, greedy nuclear industry.” JUST SAY NO TO NUKES !!!!!

Sarah Palin’s critics are working their butts off to try and convince the country that she is dumb. But it isn’t working. Compare her to Joe Biden, who the media gives a free pass to at every turn, when he makes some kind of gaffe. Palin has more intelligence in her little toe than Biden does in his whole body. But the media covers up all of Biden’s gaffes, while keeping alive forever any little gaffe that Palin has made. Listen to her: she is not dumb. Whether she would make a good president, or not, I do not know. But she is a good person, and has a lot to offer to this country. The leftwingers who dislike her are nothing but hatemongers, who work themselves into a frenzy to try and make her look foolish. I’ve got news for them…you haters are only making yourselves look dumb and foolish. Why don’t you open up your minds and listen to what this decent woman is saying? You might have to change your biased opinion of her.

Posted by: Doug | April 11, 2010, 9:33 pm 9:33 pm

Mr. Davis, is it really necessary to print all of Palin’s lies uncritically? Does a reporter have *no* responsibility to his readers, and to the truth?
Palin’s description of the new treaty is completely off the mark. Are you just a stenographer?
I guess I don’t even need to ask. Sigh.

“No administration in America’s history would, I think, ever have considered such a step that we just found out President Obama is supporting today” – Sarah Palin.
Yeah, no administration in history would think of doing that other than Obama…except Ronald Reagan’s…

i’m not suprised at all by her more than typical of conservatives verbal dairrhea. she didn’t even read one thing about the treaty. the US reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in retaliation of biological attacks. it was Ronald Reagan himself that 25 years ago wanted to reduce our nuclear arsenal by 1/3rd, so there goes that “no administration in america’s history would…” right into the trash were everything else she ever says or does belongs. she’s trash and america deserves better that this piece of garbage woman.
