I mean, really. Do you think the military has the luxury of having people like you around, who make it clear that you will make promotion decisions, combat decisions, and service decisions based solely on how it makes your sexual orientation look and feel? After all, you make it clear that no gay and lesbian person can support Sarah Palin, regardless of anything else, because she doesn’t pander to their sexual orientation.

Nice side stepping job. I can understand why you don’t want to tackle my question, since it ruins your narrative. The truth is you can justify support of her in light of what she would mean for gay people.

You ask me to account for and explain the actions of others. I just asked you to explain and justify yours.

How about this one from just last month

“The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.” –Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28, 2010

Imagine how the press and the folks on the left would have treated that one if Bush had said it?

Or, how about

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”

Bush would have been killed.

“Hold on one second, sweetie, we’re going to do — we’ll do a press avail.” –to a female reporter for ABC’s Detroit affiliate who asked about his plan to help American autoworkers

Where were the leftist women’s rights groups over that one?

What is bothersome about Sarah Palin is that she never stands up to scrutiny beyond her canned speeches. She proves time and time again that she doesn’t grasp concepts of law, the government, how it operates or, indeed, real ideas for making changes. For 8 years I watched the last president who could read speeches, but literally could not deliver a coherent, grammatically correct sentence the entire time he was in office (the comment about gynecologists being able to love their patients is one tragic reminder that comes to mind easily). President O’Bama, on the other hand, can hold himself in a press conference, speak intelligently when asked a question and gives an indication he’s at least thought about the topic at some point.

Mrs. Palin falls into that category of politicians who can *never* answer a direct question any where, any time about policy, what will work, what won’t work, etc. It’s nice to have zingers, but you can’t keep using them when you’ve got nothing real/solid to back them up. She proved this early on in her interviews with the extremely lightweight Katie Couric and she continues to prove this every time she opens her mouth.

It’s simple as playing a Beatles song backwards: Sarah backwards is HARAS.

Liberals read it as “Harass” as in ‘bother her now” and Conservatives read it as “Herass” as in “Doesn’t she have a great…”

BREAKING NEWS!!! It’s not a Photoshop.

Huh? There isn’t a dedicated photoshop troll out there writing on Palin’s palm? Sounds like a typical political war room tactic to me.

However, should Palin have written on her palm, it is no biggie to me and here is why: I would find a “Hi, mom!” hand flash to her mother as endearing. If she wrote a last minute unscripted key words on her palm, so what? It hardly rises to Obama reading his stage directions off the teleprompter as an integral part of his speech.

I’m still wondering how Levi can protest the free speech decision.

As opposed to the empty suit that resides in the White House now? Once again, what exactly were his qualifications other than the color of his skin? America’s Affirmative Action President.

More proof that Affirmative Action is an epic FAIL.

So in other words, you support everything that the media does to Palin because you think a portion of it might be deserved.

So which part do you support? The one where the media claimed she faked her pregnancy and that Trig is not her child? The one where the media claimed her husband was having incestuous sex with her daughters? Why do you support and endorse that, Carol?

Actually, that demonstrates exactly why DADT is necessary; gays and lesbians like yourself make decisions based solely on your sexual orientation, without any consideration whatsoever for any other factors.

That is not acceptable behavior for the military. Our armed forces cannot afford to have people like yourself serve whose primary consideration on every decision is your sexual orientation.

Reader D e-mails: “It doesn’t get much greener than writing notes on your hand, does it? It costs a bit of ink and a bit of soap to wash it off. No teleprompter which uses energy. No paper which kills trees. The Left should be consistent and applaud her greenness.”

You post your thoughts, others read it, and they post their thoughts.

Golly, that is really simple!

Sarah Palin is bleeding you morons dry.

Gosh I am really simple.

She abandoned public service because she realized there are throngs of mindless conservative automatons willing to finance the lifestyle she’s always dreamed of having.

What a simple plan.

We’ll stop talking about her when you stop talking about her, deal?

Oh, oh. This is too complex for me.

If we make her go away, you will allow her to go away. Right? But we are morons. Shouldn’t the bright guys make her go away and just leave the morons wondering what happened?
