Sarah is the breath of fresh air the GOP needs so bad. Obama is proving just to be the same old big government liberal. People are sick of big government, and the old GOP is as much to blame as the current fascists in charge. Sarah is going to win the nomination fairly easily. But don’t tell the MSM. They think she is politically dead.

here is what I posted to another article:

All those people who write sneering comments at the Wa Post or NYT, calling her trailer trash, etc, or Letterman or the jerks at KOS or Huff Post, are in effect sneering at me also because I identify with Sarah. I think the spending is outrageous and immoral, that we need strong defense, accountability and honesty in government and think we need to shake up the establishment even when that includes Republicans who just play that old scratch my back scratch your back game. I'm sick of all that and I believe she is also. No wonder the smarmy thiefs in D.C., their minions in the media, and the useful idiots want to destroy her. I also think this is why some establishment Republicans have trashed her - most of whom don't have to guts to use their own names.

I stand with Sarah. I admire her accomplishments, her fearlessness and honesty. It's been a looooonnng time since we've seen a real Mr. Smith goes to Washington and this time it may be a Mrs.

As some people on Lucianne started staying: "I am Sarah Palin".

Brilliant article and loved the “paraquat” analogy. Look around you - wherever you are there are people of modest means, average state college educations at best, living in (only one) mid-priced home working hard to do the best they can in life - - and you and I would trust every single one of them more than we would just about any current member of Congress (much less the current resident of the White House).

It’s time we reject intellectuals, statists, and elitists in favor of “salt of the earth” people who have their heads screwed on right - like Sarah Palin.

You know how good it felt to see that imbecile Ward Churchill denied the other day? Think about that happening to Dodd, Frank, Biden, and Pelosi. Throw the bums out! But don’t just replace them with clones, let’s get decent traditional Americans back in control of our country.

It’s interesting that Hansen should call Palin the “Jacksonian” candidate. I think he is absolutely on target. The party that succeeds in capturing the “Jacksonian” vote wins the presidency. And nobody since Reagan is as “hooked in” to the Jacksonian psyche as Palin.

She can balance a budget and get rid of corruption. I thought that’s what everyone but Congress wants.

... she is the Beltway Outsider.

Bingo. Palin was born about 60 miles North of where I sit. She was educated (college) less that 2 hours drive from here. From what I have seen, her mental processes are similar to mine.

I have absolutely no further use for the beltway, politics-as-usual mentality. It is what got us where we are today.

The latest Rasmussen polling numbers were quite instructive. Palin's biggest group of supporters are young, unmarried, and not social conservative evangelicals. Her supporters do not view her as the social conservative candidate.

Reason A1 why Romney-trolls like steve-b hate Palin....

Thanks for pointing me at the VDH piece. Like George Will, I feel like I'm five again trying to read some of it, but he nails it. There's something about people that succeed in the physical world where you risk getting seriously injured or ruined. They have a courage that you admire and respect. People that stay calm when everything’s going to sh_t. Palin seems to be of that type. I'm not one, but I've seen them, and the natural inclination is to fall in behind them.

Palin is the ultimate outside, even more so now that she has cut herself lose from the political establishment altogether. July 27, 2009, will be the beginning of a new, revolutionary day in America.

It’s interesting how so many have been critical of Gov. Palin’s resignation speech, I found it to be just fine, I knew exactly what she was talking about. I guess having a slick speech writer, and blazing teleprompters is what what matters most to so many.

Sorry for the ‘either/or’ reductive binary: but I saw more stupid people in graduate school and three decades in academia than I ever did who ran 100 acres without going broke-and more of the latter whom I’d trust not to bankrupt the country and let down our defenses than of the former.

BINGO!

I say this and people criticize me as being anti-intellectual. BS. The problem with some intellectuals is that they live in a world of theory where they are never held accountable for their being wrong. Whatever lunacy they spew they still end up getting a paycheck. Now try doing that as a farmer or fisherman or small businessman.
