Palin is without questions, the premier candidate for the GOP.

To anyone who thinks the power of the MSM is diminishing, just look at the public perception of Hillary Clinton vs Sarah Palin.

Contrast that rather thin record with that of Sarah Palin, whose partial term as governor was largely successful, featuring budget cuts, measures against official corruption, and approval of a gas pipeline. She was an immensely popular governor before the Democratic attack machine used the very ethics laws she caused to be passed to drive her out of office with frivolous lawsuits, using a loophole in the law that required public officials so charged to pay for their own defense. Palin, who was at the time not at all wealthy, was obliged to either resign as governor or else be driven into bankruptcy.

This needs to be driven home. We'll never win over the liberals, but we at least need to win over some Independents and undecideds if President Palin is going to become a reality.

Simple answer is that Hillary has the huge dependent and large government employee backing.
Sarah is a candidate that tells you to put your big boy pants and to grow up.

Plate of money for free (for a short time) or go be responsible for yourself. Which sells for election in these modern times?

That is the problem non-liberal/non-progressive/non-communists have in competing today.

She cannot waffle again. Stand forward Ms. Palin.

She NEVER waffled. That's only how you interpret it. She has NEVER stood down, Gov. Palin's political life has been anything but.

You're right. If the "free money" doesn't run out before 2016, Americans will vote for more of it.

Eventually there will be both austerity and riots here in America.
Those getting the most (government union employees) will be the one crying the loudest.

Look I am a huge Palin supporter, from back when she was a candidate the first time.

(Before McCain picked her for VP candidate in fact.)

I get it, but she needs to be aware she will need to win over a lot of GOP, who are now a bit perplexed at her.

That is all I am saying. Palin has some PR to start.

I firmly believe she is the right candidate, and I support her 100%.

Just saying I hope she runs, and runs for real this time.

I have believed since 2006; the GOP doesn’t give a Shiite about conservatives or conservatism..

Why wasn't it confirmed to you in '08? And it was a slam dunk in confirming it in '12 and still in unbelief? Confirmation Day is long gone - it's time to start BELIEVING IT.

Barry is the one with the “thin” record. 140 days in the senate voting present! Hillary is like a false store front. She will be further propped up by the dog breath news media. I imagine that Hilary’s enemy’s will pull out some more recordings and evidence just at election time. This next election might be a new Peyton place.

BTTT!

Money vs. grassroots Americans.

And add that many are out of jobs because of money putting and keeping O in office. And money will back HRC and we get the same result. Money equates to power, and then power over the people.

As a side note to the issue of whether Clinton or Palin will be the next president to exercise constitututionally nonexistent Oval Office powers, please consider the following.

I’d support Obama to be president for the rest of his life if he would faithfully promise (not going to happen) to force Congress to tax and spend within its constitutonal Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

In other words, US involvement in global conflicts aside, consider that one of the few intrastate-related powers that the Founding States actually delegated to the feds is to regulate postal services as evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I. So not only would Obama possibly would be able to spend most of his time on the golf course if he helped patriots to force Congress back into its Section 8-limited power cage, but he could occassionally help Congress to perform its Section 8 duties by using his golf cart to help postal service deliver mail.

On the other hand, Clinton or Palin could learn how to play golf too.

Palin has all the virtues of conservatism across the spectrum, but more importantly, she’s had a history of bucking the ossified corruption of the professional political class... and unlike almost all other political leaders, steadfastedly refused to become beholden to the usual crowd of influences, from special interests to corporate lobbying to even Party machines. The whole sleazy mire that keeps perpetuating larger and larger government, along with the toadying media. She’s obviously paid a big political price for refusing to assimilate into the system, and has had to basically work on the outside as a guerilla fighter for Constitutional restoration.

I certainly have more trust in Palin than anyone else out there, and would support her, whatever avenue she might decide to take. She has the right recipe for America, although I do truly believe it’s likely too late to salvage what has become this dying, decaying farce of a country.

YOU get it BUT she doesn't? You are so laughable. And you believe the GOP is perplexed at her? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saying I hope she runs, and runs for real this time.

SHE DIDN'T run in '12, what's wrong with you. And she never said she would. She came out and said she wasn't running. What was in your head before that time is YOUR PROBLEM and not her waffling.

If Palin runs, I will vote for her. If Palin doesn’t run, I seriously doubt that I will bother to vote this time around.

I believe you are perhaps confusing 2008 and 2012.

Sorry.

That is part of the confusion which needs to be straightened out.

Palin was the VP candidate in 2008 in case you forgot.

Palin stood aside in 2012 at the last moment.

I was referring to Palin’s VP run in 2008.

She did fabulously.

Would have won in fact, if she had a stronger leading man.

I have always supported McCain for selecting her as his running mate. But I am increasingly fed up with everything else about him.

I think Palin needs to somehow break publicly with McCain.

If she cannot shut him up, then she should distance herself from him.

Just saying.

I just had this conversation with a liberal at a BBQ last week. I asked what Hillary has ever accomplished and his reply was that she never stops working for women, children and people in need. This is how liberals and media hacks value intentions over accomplishment. And this is what will win her millions on top of millions of votes.

(not to mention the fact that Sarah Palin is a racist right wing terrorist)

At least back then they weren’t so in your face with it. I have to admit, that Rubio’s complete and utter betrayal surprised me. I really believed him during his campaign. Between the embarrassing 2008 GOP candidate and his subsequent caucusing with the hard left with no retaliation at all from the GOP, tells me they don’t give a Shiite about conservatives. The whole RNC is a joke. I used to think it was fear of the MSM, but now I know it is nothing more than collusion..

Oh, besides Palin, I could see myself voting for Cruz. But I admit, considering the rancid direction the GOP has been taking the past few years, I am finding my lifelong voting habit is gradually coming to a close. A transition that already started last year. Staying home entirely in 2016 is extremely conceivable for me at this point.

Democrats operate like the Islamic Muslims in that they believe if you tell a lie long enough it will be taken as the truth.
They have huge sums of money to spend by laundering donations through government employee unions. The press gives billions in free press and WORKS against all opposition.

Even though conservatives deal in reality, how do they compete against a rigged system? From the ground up IMO, and the Republican party needs an enema...
