She IS Pro-Israel and has more common sense than all the politicians put together out there.
That's why she supports Rand Paul, John McCain, and the two-state "solution"?
Dr. Brennan Fan, one thing that is apparent with all of the Republicans who might run for President in 2012 and have a realistic chance to win the nomination, is they are going to have significant concerns associated with them. This is the case in the vast majority of elections. Even with candidates I ultimately strongly support. Here in the JTF Forum, you used to bring out many concerns about Mike Huckabee and provided info and observations that really caught my attention. Much has been mentioned about Mitt Romney, that makes one think, is Romney anything close to a solution. The same with Newt Gingrich and basically all of the potential candidates who have a realistic chance of winning.
While I agree that Sarah Palin made a major mistake by supporting Rand Paul and share your opinion on Rand Paul, unlike his evil father Ron Paul, Rand Paul has to the best of my knowledge never made a direct statement against Israel. He publicly came out in favor of Israel. Chances are very high that Rand Paul has used deception. The bottom line is a multitude of those considered Conservative by most have come out in support of Rand Paul. Unless one digs deep on Rand Paul like Kentucky blogger Lisa Graas has, they are likely not going to find the type of info that strongly connects Rand Paul and Ron Paul. The bottom line is criticism of Sarah Palin is warranted in terms of her coming out in support of Rand Paul. But Steve Forbes actually came out in support of him before Sarah Palin did. With Jim DeMint and many others doing to same later on. All of them warrant criticism for this but it should be kept in the context of how deceptive Rand Paul is.
Not many ( any ) Governors from Alaska, who never were in the U.S. Congress, have the opportunity to be the V.P nominee. I have no problem with Sarah Palin deciding to accept John McCain's offer to be his running mate. Considering the stakes ( Barack Hussein Obama being elected to the highest position in the United States ), it would be difficult to turn down the opportunity to be McCain's running mate. Regarding Sarah Palin's endorsement of McCain in 2010. While McCain wasn't my first choice, McCain did give her an opportunity that most in the political world would never get. From a human side of the equation, it's difficult for me to criticize Sarah Palin for her endorsement and support of McCain. I realize there are legitimate counter points.
Because of the rest of the reply that Sarah Palin made in her response in the V.P. Debate and all of Sarah Palin's pro-Israel comments and actions before and since, right now I can't envision Sarah Palin being in favor of anything that would remove Settlers from their homes and Israel giving up more land. If she proves otherwise in the future, then clearly my support for her would be substantially less. Because Sarah Palin associated the ' two state solution' with a McCain and Palin administration and not her own individual position, I'm still willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Also, because Sarah Palin was Governor of Alaska, she might not have been familiar with the term ' two state solution'. At the time, she didn't have the detailed knowledge on many Foreign Policy issues. One reason I was willing to overlook this in 2008 is she has the willingness to study and learn.
Overall, I think it would be for the best if JTF focused much more on the 2010 Congressional elections in the next 2 + months. After that, then much of the focus should turn to the 2012 Presidential Race.
