ThinkProgress » Palin: ‘Obviously, We’ve Got To Stand With Our North Korean Allies’

That's not always a great slip up to make while trying to prove you are the right stuff

We should see if she can spell potato....
What scares me as much as Sara Palin for President are those people who actually think she is capable & would be a 'good choice' as president for our country.

She's way ahead of the curve.

She only meant that once North Korea becomes our ally, we are standing by them, that's all.

That anti-missile defense system which was cut defended the continental USA.


At Fort Greeley in Alaska, the missile defense silos can defend the U.S. from both North Korea and but the Obama budget would cuts the number of interceptor missiles based there from 44 to 30.

The Senate voted Tuesday to cut off production funding for the F-22 fighter, a come-from-behind win for Defense Secretary Robert Gates who has targeted the costly program as part of his effort to restructure the Pentagon budget.

Turtle bridges OK,...missile defense and advanced fighter jets a big waste of money?

But you people still have no excuse for Obama and his repeated "mistakes" like we have "57 states"? And that was on several occasions, not just one.
So you forgive Palin but not Obama. That hypocrisy don't ya know.

Maybe the candidates should run in two's in the primary.

Huck and Mitt as one and two, and if that doesn't work out, try Mitt and Huck.

Who could beat that kind of cooperation?

From someone who believes that the Earth is 6,000 years old I expect to hear all kinds of insanities, and this one actually isn't the worst.

Does it make sense to you that we are allies with both North and South Korea?


Flippin' DUH!

She said we were bound by treaty to defend what she mistakenly referred to as our N. Korean ally, then, when corrected, made the second point that we were also bound by prudence to defend our S. Korean (same subject) ally. The subject isn't both North and South Korea. The subject is and was S. Korea all along and the reason it wouldn't make sense for her to have said what you are trying desperately to have had her say is that she didn't ever mean N. Korea as you would hope she did.

I said the same thing about the Obama and McCain supporters.
