The Palin Doctrine :)

varwoche said:
The thing is, The Palin Doctrine :D is quite simple at the core. (Like Palin!) It can be summed up in one little sentence fragment: whatever Obama isn't doing.

I sympathize with naive observers such as yourself who are unaware that for Obama to follow The Palin Doctrine is actually a metaphysical impossibility.

Good try, but if you examine your logical construct carefully, you will find it to be incorrectly postulated, and the conclusions do not follow from the premises.
 
The call by the Arab League for Western military intervention in an Arab state — in this case asking that a UN “no-fly zone” be imposed over Libya – is not only without precedent but it puts in formal terms what Governor Palin stated three weeks ago should have been America’s response to the political and humanitarian crisis now unfolding there.

This is inaccurate.

The "Palin doctrine" would be to go in guns blazing without regard for the Arab League, or Europe, or anyone else. This is even looser than the "Bush doctrine" (of which Palin was famously ignorant during the election) of forming a show-coalition in order to justify what the US had already decided to do.

The "Obama doctrine" would be to do the groundwork first and refuse to make a military commitment until other nations with much more direct national interests agreed to shoulder the bulk of the political burden.

No, that doesn't apply. Yokel will do.

You can be well informed and be from a rural area and very ill informed and be from an urban area. The thing with Bush W and Palin is that they don't want to be informed or think the voters they are going after are ill informed. I personally find them very condescending.

I have a great idea. You can explain what the 'Palin Doctrine' actually is, or what it means. Then we can discuss if it's 'obvious' or out of line with what others have explained it to be.

You won't do this of course because you'd have to show that you know what it means. I get the feeling you're actually a little vague as to the meaning.
 
The New Spin: The White House Would Be A Step Down For Sarah Palin

"I think the presidency is beneath her," Breitbart told GQ. "There's more power in being Oprah Winfrey than in being Barack Obama. It would be my goal for Palin to become Oprah and be the ultimate kingmaker for twenty-odd years. Oprah anointed Barack Obama."

Then there's Ann Coulter, who has offered similar arguments in multiple interviews.

"I think it would be a step down for her," she said in an MNSBC appearance last month. "It's like saying Rush Limbaugh should run for President. She's huge, she has enormous power. She sends out a Twitter on death panels and everyone's talking about it. I think it would be crazy for her to run for president."

Coulter offered a similar assessment last year to CBS, saying that Palin "has more influence than a President does."

Sour grapes.

I have an even better idea. Why don't you actually read the article which I pointed out was misrepresented in the CNN link by Tricky. You know, the source of the phrase "Palin doctrine"?

Then we can discuss things better, right? Because I don't have much of an agenda here, I only pointed out the misrepesentation, the lying, the typical spin and so forth.

Wait...no, don't bother because the thread is really just another Palin bashing thingie, isn't it?

Yep....and so trivial, small minded and boring.

But please keep the hatefest going.
