Sarah Palin Dishes Out Endorsement to Katrina Pierson

[PatriotOne]

DH: Finally, if you and four other people could sit around and write all the laws in the country, who would those four other people be?

KP: Rep. Justin Amash, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Rand Paul, and Sen. Jim DeMint.

I wish she would have left off Cruz and DeMint and in their place include Ron Paul and Thomas Massie. I might even be tempted to put Judge Nap in Massie's place.

That tired argument again. All issues are not equal...I would offer that a disagreement on foreign policy alone is worth much more than 10%. In fact, that's one of the issues I look at first when judging a candidate. If they sound like a neocon or teocon, I move on.

Then you are indirectly contributing to the downfall of this nation by allowing people like Pete Sessions to remain in Congress.

Many of the "teocons" support at least some reduction in military spending and oppose humanitarian intervention, the United Nations and foreign aid. This makes them our closest allies in Congress, including on foreign policy.

Amazing picks.

Ya know, I could be persuaded that she may be a better overall pick than Pete Sessions. Maybe. But I just wish we would stop rushing to label everyone who is better than their opponent as a "Liberty candidate". It's overkill, and it's not true in most cases.

Katrina Pierson is a liberty candidate.

Katrina Pierson is a liberty candidate.

She's still being evaluated.

Maybe we should wait until that plays out before jumping to conclusions.

Yeah, a thread on an internet forum is what dictates whether you're a liberty candidate or not...

Yeah, a declaration of same by eduardo89 and/or compromise isn't exactly impressive either.

No, but being endorsed by FreedomWorks certainly is.

LOL. FreedomWorks doesn't even include Foreign Policy among their Key Issues.

So? They're excellent when it comes to economic issues as well as civil liberties. If you're endorsed by them, you most certainly are a liberty candidate.

Ms. Pierson was also endorsed by Sarah Palin, which means she's a small government conservative and she'll defend liberty and the Constitution in Congress.

So, if you don't include foreign policy among the issues you consider, your evaluation is incomplete.

You don't have to be an isolationist to be a liberty candidate.

True, but you should be a non-interventionist...not treating Israel as the 51st state.

The only way to your idealism is gradualism.

How would you word the response to avoid alienating 50% of voters and 95% of the media?

I don't see anything in the issue statement that says the US should provide material support to Israel. I actually think it is well done. I'd ask her exactly what she means by standing with Israel, but otherwise it sounds similar to how I would say leave Israel and the rest of the middle east alone.

Well, I guess you can't. That's why it's so damned necessary to EDUCATE the voting public before we can expect to see real change. But lacking that in the immediate future doesn't mean that anyone who comes along to pander to the uneducated is a liberty candidate. They may be more electable than someone (like Ron Paul who really IS/WAS a liberty candidate) who tells it like it is, but that doesn't make them something they're not.
