It's about time a Republican said it

And why not Sarah the Barracuda?

Palin told Carl that she was “annoyed” at some of the interviews she has done, “Ok I’ll tell you honestly the Sarah Palin in those interviews is a little bit annoyed because it’s man no matter what you say you are going to get clobbered. If you choose to answer a question you are going to get clobbered on the answer,” Palin said. “If you choose to try and pivot and go on to another subject that you believe that Americans want to hear about you get clobbered for that too.”

She then aimed to defend herself for some of the criticism she got for the Couric interview. She was blasted for not answering Couric’s question on any of the periodicals she reads or even a Supreme Court decision that she disagreed with. She defended some of the circular answers she gave the CBS anchor saying that she did not get to cover some of the topics she saw as important, “But in those Katie Couric interviews I did feel that there were a lot of things that she was missing in terms of an opportunity to ask what a V.P. candidate stands for. What the values are represented in our ticket. I wanted to talk about Barack Obama increasing taxes, which would lead to killing jobs. I wanted to talk about his proposal to increase government spending by another trillion dollars.”

She then slammed Barack Obama calling him disqualified to be President of the United States, “Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may — in my world– disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander in chief.” Palin said, “Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly– just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That’s reckless.

I hope like hell the McCain campaign is setting her free and that they won't attempt to muzzle comments like this.

She is woman, hear her roar.

That was awesome.

"Country music is better than rock" is an opinion I, personally, find disagreeable.

"We need to sit down with our enemies and talk out our differences without preconditions" is an opinion that isn't even a legitimate one to have.

The trouble with the way our country has been talking out these disputes, is that the right-wing and the left-wing both get to participate in discussions about what's agreeable -- but the left-wing enjoys a complete monopoly, or close to a monopoly, in hashing out what's legitimate. And so now it has come down to this: A war protester's insistence that soldiers engage in civilian rape and murder, is a legitimate opinion to have...someone else saying that said war protester may not be a "true patriot," is somehow not.

You're headline says it perfectly, Rick. Republicans need to stop concentrating all their energies on debating what's correct, and spend some energy on debating what's legitimate and reasonable. They've allowed the enemy to own this spot of turf, and run roughshod all over it. When they do that it gives the appearance that the right-wing is acknowledging the left-wing is correct, or could be correct. And so we have the spectacle of congress nationalizing the mortgage lending industry, supposedly as an emergency measure, and then gloating about it on camera with huge smiles on their faces. This abuse of logic has a very real possibility of destroying the whole damn country, in a fistful of different ways.

Again, Rick: Well done.
