That's right. She did.
I know that John McCain will do that and I, as his vice president, families we are blessed with that vote of the American people and are elected to serve and are sworn in on January 20, that will be our top priority is to defend the American people. ?
You've got to be kidding me.
Oh, Saint Sarah, you're so smart and so hot! (puking)
Originally posted by EladarAnd the United States has an extremely serious problem today because short-term myopic anti-terrorist preemptive strikes without a commitment to diplomacy with our allies first, has fomented greater dangers to the United States. Bush not only has failed to defend us, he has increased the threats of which we must be wary.
[b] A President should defend the U.S.? Is that it,
You must be pretty screwed up to not understand the truth of that statement.[/b]
Palin wants to chant the Republican ticket's mantra of change, but she cannot do this and speak intelligently about foreign policy for two reasons:
1. McCain wants to continue the failed Bush doctrine
2. Palin does not comprehend the world outside the frameworks presented by missionaries that speak from time to time in her church.
If the media were liberal, as is alleged, they might have already probed the foreign affairs education that a young woman with a journalism degree gets in Assembly of God churches.
Originally posted by EladarAnd you must be pretty simple minded to believe that she did. None the less, let us not devolve in to name calling. I will post he question and the answer again and you explain how she feels about the Bush Doctring, not a presidents duty to protect the country.

GIBSON: The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us. Do you agree with that?
PALIN: I agree that a president's job, when they swear in their oath to uphold our Constitution, their top priority is to defend the United States of America.
Ok, the question is about preemptive strikes...
Originally posted by EladarI see you post such nonsense fairly regularly, but I challenge you to find a single post where I have called you or any other right winger a "moron" or "stupid" or any other such term.
Let me see if I can boil down this discussion to its fundamental truth:
If you disagree with me, then you are a moron.
I'm certainly glad that we have these threads to clear things up.
I have been abundantly clear that political rhetoric in the United States from all sides, but especially from Reagan Republicans, appeals to simplistic thinking, naive stereotypes, and ignorance. But I have not let these observations become ad hominem attacks. Even smart people often find simple-minded explanations politically expedient. Just because you promote ignorance and stupidity does not mean that you yourself are ignorant or stupid, and I have never alleged that you are.
Originally posted by EladarActually, what I said as that Sarah Palin did nothing to answer the question that was asked of her. She said that she agreed that a president should defend the United States of America. That is pretty much like saying "I agree that the sky is blue." It didn't address the question regarding the Bush Doctrine.

That is not a question of "If you disagree with me". You claimed that she answered the question clearly. I posted the question asked of her and her response and you replied with "I'm sure from your point of view you actually had something relevant to say."
I then asked you "So, please explain how she feels about the Bush Doctrine as defined?" and you responded that A president should defend the country. That wasn't the question asked of her or you.
So once again, I will ask you to explain how Sarah Palin feels about the Bush Doctrine as defined by the question "The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us. Do you agree with that?"
Since you clearly do not understand the question I will break it down for you. The question is; Do you agree that the US has the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us?
Actually, what I said as that Sarah Palin did nothing to answer the question that was asked of her.
No, I believe you said: And you must be pretty simple minded

Wule,

My post was in reaction to the other leftist idiot in this thread.

Originally posted by EladarAh the ostrich defense. My argument had no merit so I will stick my head in the sand. Nice. I asked you to clearly to explain how her response had anything to do with the Bush Doctrine and you said I was screwed up if I couldn't see it.
I see no reason to try to discuss anything with you or Wule. You don't care about discussion.
You can continue to post if you like, but don't expect a response.
I'm guessing that you, like me, can find nothing in her response that pertains to the BD either so y now you must run away.
Thanks for playing
