Proof isn't something that Republicans need. All they need is absolute  
confidence in what they are saying. That is all the proof that they  
need that what they are saying is the truth... an unblinking, absolute  
confidence that what they are saying is all the proof that anyone will  
ever need.

 From Nixon's famous "I am not a crook!" to Bush's lie about Saddam  
being an imminent threat to the US to Palin's "I have that confidence,  
I have that readiness" when asked to give specific skills that she has  
in foreign policy experience.

Republicans believe that all they have to do is say what they want  
people to believe and that is all the proof that is needed.

As for the people living in the real world, the world where over 4000  
American kids and over 100,000 innocent Iraq citizens have died, where  
Palin's foreign policy experience consists of being able to see Russia  
from her house... well... we need some proof.

And it just isn't there.
