Sarah Plain is now on a trip to Israel and plans to meet with Netanyahu. This has brought out the angry left on MSNBC. Note the immediate snipe.
Palin, who was John McCain’s running mate in his failed 2008 campaign for president, rarely travels abroad and has been criticized for a weak foreign policy record.
Barack Obama, of course, had a foreign policy record from the ages of six to ten. He has criticized Americans for not learning a foreign language while he, himself, thinks Austrians speak “Austrian.”
Note the trend in the comments:
I take it the Koch brothers made a substantial contribution to the Israeli governing party to put this little junket together as I am sure they did in India. I am pretty sure Sarah didn’t just call
Why would this person, other than being an MSNBC viewer (one of the few), have reason to believe that the Koch brothers, villains of the month for the left, have anything to do with this trip? Of course, that is one of the mild comments.
Why is this woman visiting foreign nations now? To create the illusion she has experience in foreign policy for a 2012 run? She has no business visiting Israel and India, holds no office, and does NOT represent the United States in any way.
Is there a reason why she cannot go ? I would like to visit Israel in the next year or two and I have NO ambition to be president. Will I be allowed to go ?
As for representing the US, do John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi visiting Syria, a terrorist state and enemy of the US, have the right to undermine our polices ? Pelosi went when Bush was president and she clearly did NOT represent the US government. Kerry has long experience in dealing with enemy governments while holding a US office. His antics in 1972 probably got him a dishonorable discharge from his Navy commission, hence his re-dated certificate for his Vietnam medals.
The loony left hates Sarah Palin in a way that suggests they are really afraid of her. I am a fan of hers, although not necessarily a presidential supporter.
They just cannot stay away from her, like moths to a flame.
I have a web site where I research stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience withe these type of stocks. I would like to comment about calvin coolidge theirs an old saying about calvin coolidge before he was president he slept 12 hours a day. when he became president he still slept 12 hours a day.
It’s not the Left and their hatred of Sarah Palin we should focus on, doc; it’s the RINO “Right” and their fear of what “Palinism” means to them, their wallets, and their power base.
Now we’ve discussed Sarah Palin many, many, many times in the past. I’m hardly in 100% agreement with Palin’s every policy prescription. HOWEVER…
That’s the same for how I feel about any politician who’s not… er… me.
(Ya see, doc… the only person I totally back is me – and even then… I realize I’m only “usually right.”)

Neither Obama nor Pelosi nor Reid nor George Soros can hurt Sarah Palin the way folks such as Krauthammer and the like on “our” side do.
Going back to “there’s no such thing as a perfect candidate” let me note that I trust Sarah Palin far more than I trust the average politician.
I trust in her integrity… I trust in her common sense… I trust trust in her basic sincerity.
You and I doc… (*SIGH*)… we know the kind of people who often become “insiders” – movers and shakers… rainmakers – within the GOP.
We both know the reality of the sausage factory that is the Republican Party as a party. Oh, sure… compared to the dems the folks you’ll meet at GOP functions are the salt of the earth. That acknowledged, all it takes is a few bad apples to spoil the bunch.
(And that’s the story of the 2006 & 2008 elections; only to be fair, it was far more than simply a “few” bad apples in the Republican barrel.)
My point, doc? Sarah Palin had better focus on watching her back.
