Finally; Sarah Palin, yes
American Thinker Blog ^ | February 6, 2015 | Paul Murphy

First, Sarah Palin is one of us, not one of them.

Second, the country needs a healer – someone who can rise above the mass media's hate-fueled attacks while working to bring sanity back to government and ideological balance back to both major parties. Sarah Palin can do this: she's a deeply committed conservative who has consistently shown, and not just as governor and McCain's running mate, but throughout her personal and political life, both an ability to work with the other side and a willingness to listen to others.

Third, Palin is electable – whether she takes Scott Walker, Michele Bachmann, or Newt Gingrich along doesn't really matter. With her at the top of the ticket, the media will go berserk, and the same four million Tea Party voters who stayed home in 2012 will put her into the White House with a massive majority.

I wrote her in last time and will again this time. Wow, someone to vote for instead of against.

The rubber circuit takes time. That’s not something that you can start on a Friday and finish by Monday. Maybe at the state level you can do that, but you would need a weekend at each state.

My position inherently anti-Palin. She knows what it takes to run a national campaign. If she were running for office, she’d be doing everything that everybody else has to do.

I get the fervency of tea-partiers, and I would be one myself if I were an American.

I’m a Palin Fan and I never got the impression that she was running. The only ppl who say so are her enemies who bring up a straw man argument to tear down. She have always said she’s open to the idea and that she will never close any doors. This is not an admission of her running herself next election

RE:”The fact that, to nobody’s knowledge, there is no indication that she has done any of that would indicate she probably isn’t running.”

Better indicator

She still works for FNC as a political commentator while the actual candidates left.

Just like in 2011 and 2012 she never left FNC.

This was the clear sign that she never intended to run

RE:”I’m a Palin Fan and I never got the impression that she was running. The only ppl who say so are her enemies who bring up a straw man argument to tear down. “

Only her enemies said she was running??? Were these folks conservatives4Palin her enemies?

How many times, and ways, can I keep saying this until it finally sinks in?

SARAH PALIN IS RUNNING FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and has been doing so for, at least, the past 2 years.

This decision, by Mrs. Palin and her family, was made immediately before she resigned as Governor of Alaska. In fact, it was one of the principle reasons for her resignation.She knew, as anyone who analyzes that decision, that she could not run for the Presidency while fighting off the frivolous lawsuits of her enemies for 2 years.

She knew she needed to be free to travel the U.S. and connect with the American people. Which she has done exceptionally well.

That decision, was the start of her “campaign.”

One need only ask some basic questions to determine Mrs. Palin’s intentions.

1 – For what reason would Mrs. Palin insert herself into the 2010 election cycle? Why go out of her way to “endorse” local candidates all over the United States? And mostly TEA Party and grassroots conservative candidates?

2 – For what reason would Mrs. Palin take her entire family on a “bus tour” of historic sites around the United States? The key here is the BUS. If she wanted to tour these sites, she could easily do it in her family vehicle. Why stir up all the attendant media coverage?

3 – For what possible reason would Mrs. Palin need a movie about her political career? Remember, she had her staff approach Mr. Bannon about making some “short” segments. It was Mr. Bannon who made the decision to make a 2-hour movie, using his own money. Why didn’t she just say no?

4 – Why is she supporting this movie with appearances all over the United States? What is the point of traveling all over the U.S., generating press coverage everywhere, and shaking hands and speaking with people, voters, in every locale?

5 – Why are there O4P organizations in over 30 states, especially in all of the early primary states? Why didn’t Mrs. Palin just tell these people to stop? Is she that callous, that she would allow these people to waste their time and energy in this manner?

6 – Why does Mrs. Palin, a native and proud Alaskan, with a television series to prove it, need a home in Scottsdale, Arizona? Wouldn’t this be a complete jolt to her entire family? Where is Todd Palin going to find work on an oil rig, or pipeline, in Arizona?

Why don’t you all just accept that Mrs. Palin is running for the Republican nomination for President, and act accordingly?

Let me put it this way Twit, if she declares, I'll support her, if she doesn't, I sincerely hope she continues what she is doing, saying the things that Rinos won't.

The worst thing for me is if her and Cruz both decide to run, then I have a big problem.
I don't want to see the two top conservatives, who tell it like it is, dividing the conservative vote.

I think her bus tour was to test the waters to see how viable her candidacy was. I don’t recall any huge MLK-like crowds, even if those who did show up were highly dedicated and fervent.

...someone who can rise above the mass media's hate-fueled attacks...

If she runs, you ain't seen nuthin' yet! The hate will boil endlessly!

I'd vote for Palin. Not Bush, not Romney, not Christie, not Jindal, not Rubio. But I would vote for Palin. Put her on a ticket with Cruz, or Gingrich, or my Governor Walker and you have a guaranteed 2016 victory. I do think, however, she closes the deal better as VP.

...I think she intended to in 2012 until that movie came out.

Movie? What movie?

I don't accept your declaration of her candidacy for one simple reason: You are NOT Sarah Palin.

Only Gov. Palin can make that announcement.

Don't be so presumptuous.

She has the potential to do what Nigel Farage has done with UKIP in the UK.

She can draw people from both major parties into supporting an alternative to business as usual politics that bails out the big guys at the expense of the little guys.

What is with the misplaced semicolon?

Palin is also misplaced as an actually running candidate. She won’t be.

75% of Americans think, no, they are SURE, Sarah Palin is stupid. The media won. She is not stupid. I agree with everything she says. She is the real deal. But she is UNELECTABLE for national office. It’s a done deal.

You’re getting kind of psycho on Palin.

I think you are sick of yourself.
