Not really sure what I was supposed to answer here. She was right. The left is fucked in the head and can't make a case for what president loser is doing. So I'm just going to sit back and be right.... As always.
Palin gets a LOT of shit wrong:
http://www.ranker.com/list/13-social-studies-facts-sarah-palin-got-wrong/kel-varnsenWe all get things wrong... but it's like she goes a way to be over the top with these odd, quirkly comments that really appeal to the voters that use emotion & hormones to vote, rather than logic or facts. The left does it too, I'm not making this dem/repub. Most repubs at that level are competent and skilled and know their stuff. She just isn't nearly as prepared as cruz, rand, jeb, perry, or others. She's really not. I think most republicans on getbig will say Obama is an idiot, Hilary is an idiot, most repubs have great intelligence, most dems are immature and unrealistic/stupid, and sarah palin is just not a brilliant person - average intelligence at best. it's okay to point out her as just not bright, just wrong on so many things, without being on obama's nuts. People think it's either/or. No, it's okay to say "obama is an illegal kenyan marxist bent on destroying america" AND "sarah palin is not that bright. you see, BOTH things are possible.
She makes up words (refudiate!) She speaks authoritatively on history - when her facts are beyond wrong. Above all, she BELIVED MAN CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING a few years back when most repubs were off that wagon. AND she supports amnesty. Is she still brilliant?
