“You people said the same thing about Fred Thompson.”

And Rudolph Giuliani.

If it makes you feel better, keep minimizing her. Just look at history to see what happens to those who underestimate their “opponents”.

You people said the same thing about Fred Thompson.

She had just said her good-byes to Track as he was headed off to Iraq. No one could expect her to be at the top of her game on that day and you could see it in her face. Americans can all relate to that.

I don’t think most Americans can relate to having a child with a stupid name. Seriously, “Track”? “Bristol”? “Triginometry”? They’re human beings, not pets. Though I wouldn’t expect Palin to know the difference.

She acted like she never heard the word doctrine used like that before.
Monroe Doctrine
Truman Doctrine

She should have covered that in high school.

“The Bush Doctrine”?
You mean “The Refutation of Nuremburg”?

Way to lower those goalposts, kids! Why don’t we just cut to the inevitable end where you ask, Who cares what she does or doesn’t know? Who cares whether or not she’s underqualified? Who cares if she’s under investigation for abuse of power? Who cares whether she’s flipflopping and then blatantly lying, when we have slogans that fit neatly on these signs?

Did I leave anything out?

Who cares whether or not she knows whats labeled as “The Bush Doctrine”.
If she doesn’t know the answer then she better keep her butt in Alaska and out of our White House.

“Sarah’s white, that’s the only thing that matters. It’s fine she is like Ms. South Carolina”-repubs

Who cares whether or not she knows whats labeled as “The Bush Doctrine”. Most Americans couldnt have even told you if she got it “right” or not.

The bottom line on that issue – and what Americans care about more – is whether or not she believes a preemptive strike on/in another country is on the table as an appropriate action to protect us. Most Americans will be satisfied that she addressed that question.

But of course, media pundants (and now most “reporters” as well) and party loyalists have to put their spin on it to reinforce/justify their preconceived bias.

How about foreign policy authority? How about foreign policy _familiarity_?

She’s a joke. Bill Kristol and the other serious He-men of CONSERVATIVE THOUGHT are going to have a hard time finding more lipstick for her.

But as others have said, it’s really about he relatively few remaining undecideds right now. And Palin ain’t going to bring any of them over to her with incompetent performances like this one.

Bush Doctrine? Who’s Bush?

This is the team of Change and Reform and Country First.

And Sarah America will be in charge of Reform; not worrying about hypotheticals of what some ex-President’s world views used to be. That will be done by the top of the ticket.

Absolute moral authority for that one day at least.
