Sarah Palin: No current Republican candidates are qualified to be president — and neither am I

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) suggested — perhaps unwittingly — on Thursday that neither she nor any Republican weighing a 2016 presidential campaign is eligible for the position.

“It’s said that old men declare wars, and then they send the young ones to fight ‘em,” Palin said during an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). “So it’s the duty of he who sends them to actually make sure that we can win those wars. And it’s our duty to elect an honorable commander-in-chief who is willing to make the same sacrifices he sends others away to make.”

One of Palin’s sons, Track, served in Iraq for a year for the Army. Going by her remark, however, her son is more qualified than any of the GOP’s most visible prospective candidates: Governors Jeb Bush of Florida, Chris Christie of New Jersey, Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, and Scott Walker of Wisconsin have not served, nor have Senators Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida.

14. It reminds me of college freshman jingoism...

... true story, had a couple of them that would joke around with me and say:

Rose's are red.
Violets are blue.
I'm a schizo.
And so am I.

Take it for what it is.

9. That, apparently, was only a rumor never substantiated.

I'm not going to nail him for serving based on rumors, regardless of his mom being an idiot.
All of what i could ever find was that a rumor said thats what he did. Interviews i read including people involved in the vandalism crime said he wasnt a part of it.
Did I mention none of this excuses his mom from being an idiot?

6. So now we are to expect a new poltical dynasty of half term Governors and Presidents?

Imagine the comedy when people ask, "Is Track on the right track or wrong track with his foreign policy?"

7. Really. Her. Voice.

Makes fingernails on a blackboard seem like a sweet and ear pleasing sound

[Geronimoe]

[louis-t]

11. Nope, sorry, can't watch.

I'll take your word for it. Every minute spent watching her is a minute of my life I will never get back.

12. Palin slams the GOP

Love it.
She damns Congress for slashing veteran services and payments.
Fails to mention the Congress that did that was a Majority GOP Congress.
But I'm sure you Americans are swift enough to make the connection.
I don't know, perhaps hanging out with all the folks at SNL 40 had an influence on her.

[El Shaman]

13. Lets give John McCain a

'CLAP' !!!

[Bossy Monkey]

16. "Unwittingly" is the word, all right. n/t

[panfluteman]

17. For a Moment, I Thought That Sarah Was on a Roll...

She seemed to be revving up her own brain with a good dose of that common sense she was talking about. But when she started rattling off all those standard right wing cliches and oversimplifications of complex problems, I came to my senses. When she says about giving the troops the tools to win, I suppose she means just giving them carte blanche to mow them all down. And when she talks about political correctness getting in the way, that's right wing lingo for diplomacy and the national interest. At least she is talking positively about benefits - in this case, for veterans. Either a lot of veterans must have been in the audience, or that's the only group of people that right wingers consider to be worthy of receiving benefits.

18. Her voice is more agravating over the years.
