I hadn't heard that about Jindal. I did hear yesterday that Hillary said she isn't going to run, but I have no doubt that could change in an eye blink.

Ronald Reagan was without a doubt one of the top five best Presidents in all of American History, IMHO. Certainly #1 in the 20th century. But even he knew that in order to get elected he had to pay the piper. He had to (just as has been the case in ever Presidential election since the early 1920s) toe the line with the elitists most notably inside the Council on Foreign Relations.

Although Ronnie wasn't himself a member of the CFR, everybody in his team and almost his entire cabinet AND most of their top three assistant secretaries, were CFR members. GHW Bush was a former director of CFR and he is the guy who coined the term -- actually who popularized it -- NEW WORLD ORDER for the 20th century. Here's a list of current CFR members. Have a look and see if you recognize any of those names.

My point is that although Ronnie himself wasn't a member of the band, he knew all the musicians and he knew he had to play their tunes if he wanted the job. Sarah doesn't play their games and THAT'S why she will never win. They played King Maker with Jimmy Carter and won. Same with Clinton and with Obama. They can do it in reverse with Sarah. Anybody who truly believes anything else is uninformed and delusional. I have spent my entire adult life studying these organizations and their interrelated conspiracies.

There's nothing in Sarah's background or her personality that disqualifies her. That's not my point at all. I just understand that at that level of politics and with that amount of money in the game, the game itself is certainly rigged.

If Sarah declares and wins the nomination, I'll fight like hell to get her elected, but I'm also realistic.

Ping to my post #82. This has nothing to do with the American voter. Nada. Zip.

Why endorse someone you'll be running against for the nomination?

That's actually an interesting point. Who is the other Republican female that could be the next Sarah -- Noemi somethingorother?

Sarah would make an AWESOME Secretary of Energy or Secretary of the Interior — But she would have no chance in the general election for POTUS.

Kind of like moving the goalposts back
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sigh....the meme evolves over the past two years

1. Sarah who?

2. Wolf killer, hick and throwback.

3. Choker on CBS.

4. Scandal magnet...damaged goods.

5. Quitter...she’s toast.

6. Well, sure, she can make a good populist speech to the tea party dogs (phhffffft).

7. Is only in it for the money and publicity (publicity whore).

8. Only good for electing “red-state fringers”.

9. Okay, okay, she’s good at raising money...as if that means anything. (eyes rolling)

10. Okay, okay, okay...she can can hang with us so long as she stays in the back of the bus. Maybe we can pigeon hole her as RNC chief.

11. Oh friggen kay, she can have a cabinet post, but shut her up.

12. She’s a highly valued team player but will never be POTUS. Let the beltway, bigboy RINOS take care of that. Can’t she just go away and hunt unicorns in Eskimo-land??? Sheesh!!!! The nerve of that beeoch!!!!

I think the other people who want to run but have not said so have people looking at our site and slamming Sarah at every chance. They hate her and hate knowing she will be the next President!!!

Soldier, I know what you are saying about the power behind the power. There is a lot of money there, but is there more money than a fired up populace can come up with if we have too? We have a lot of troops in the county/state offices now. It seems to me that if we can keep the momentum going for the next two years, we can defeat the “shadow” gov. We defeated a lot of them this go around. We dug into Soros SOS plan. We can’t go into the one world slavery without a fight and the only person I see fighting is Sarah Palin.

Palin Will be the next President of US!

More women voted for Republicans on Tuesday because of Palin!

Women are tired of Obama like everyone else.

We Palin supporters have seen all the reasons she can't be President and WE ARE NOT BUYING IT!!!

The reason that there is so many people trying to stop her is she is a Pro Life Women,

PERIOD!

It's true that Soros blew a wad of cash with little or nothing in the way of results and that's always a good thing. But he is not alone. Think "We the people" can come up with the kind of cash wielded by the folks who belong to and fund CFR? Did you read the names and businesses at the link? That goes waaaaaaay beyond the "shadow government." We're also not just talking the cash, we're talking the folks who shape opinion and a lot of them are burrowed in at places normally considered to be "conservative."

I agree with you about not going quietly into that long night and just knuckle under and crawl into slavery. Agreed! As long as we can resist, we must resist! But I don't have many illusions about the end results, either. For that stuff, though, I'll just keep on followin' the Lord and hang onto HIM. Sarah isn't alone, either. She proved that herself in the endorsements she issued and the fights she launched herself into with mostly good results.

The thing I really love about her is the level of devotion to our Lord. If HE wants her to run, HE'LL make it possible and I truly think that if that isn't what HE wants, HE'LL make it known to her and she simply won't run.

Now we’re on the same page. I’ve not said it, but I too believe that if God wants Sarah to be president, nothing or no one can stop her. That is what I pray for. I pray for God to protect her and if be His will to seat her as our president. I pray for her to stay in God’s will in all things. I told her last Saturday that I pray for her every day. She put her hand over her heart and said, “Thank you so much for that.”

Wow. That gave me chills. The thing to remember, IMHO, is that if she gets that negative "vibe" from the Lord and decides against a run, there will be many who CLAMOR for her to reconsider. That, to me smells like smoke from the Pit of Hell. That's the Father of Lies urging personalities to put themselves above God Almighty and it springs from the free will trap we mortals always fall into.

The Lord lets us know his agenda in all things, but he gives us the free will to ignore that and when we follow our own desires it inevitably leads to disaster. So if Sarah decides against a run, I feel that springs from the Lord originally and not the evil one. She is too strong in Christ to have her initial feelings emanate from the darkness. But there are many people who will push her to ignore that "still small voice" because her future political fate seems so closely tied to their own bitterness over past events. See my point?

I don’t know why you forwarded this to me. I am a simple guy and all I can say is. I don’t know what God’s will is. I know there are young conservatives and young conservative women watching every move Sarah makes. Say enough people on our own side (Karl Rove types) convince her that she is unelectable. say she starts to believe that and just takes a ride back to Wasilla. Who wins ? The establishment types win. It is not just about Sarah Palin.

There was a quote from the movie “Hoosiers” where they said “lets win this for all of the small teams that never made it this far”

Sarah is in a unique position where she can do that. She is one of us. A real person from a small town. She is Hickory. She can’t fail now.

I think Sarah is grounded well enough to know what she is supposed to do. When she needs to make decisions she goes and “reloads”. I don’t doubt that she hears from the Lord, loud and clear.

Mike dear one, I'm afraid you are putting too much trust in one human being. Remember the Scripture that tells us that all "kings" and "princes" rule at the Lord's pleasure." If Sarah is supposed to be president, she will be president. If it is not in God's plan, she won't be president.

We don't always get what we want, but we get what we need. Who would have thought that God would allow an obama to be president? Well, look what has happened. He has been so radical he has awakened the sleeping giant. The people are paying attention now and we may yet be able to save the country. If we had "slept" through another Bush or Clinton, it might have been too late to save the country. We can't see the big picture, but God can and he knows what we need. Trust Him. And yes, it would be wonderful if he allows Sarah to be our president, and I will work for her if she runs.

She is Hickory.

I didn't quite understand this reference, unless it's the reason Andrew Jackson was called Old Hickory? Is that the reference? Strong and resilient? I seriously doubt that Sarah listens to anybody like Karl Rove. If she did, ever, she never would have achieved any of the huge successes she has enjoyed in her life. I think Sarah really listens to her family and to God and that's all she needs.

Maybe so. It is so easy to get bitter. I want to poke a finger in the eyes of the MSM so bad, in large part for what happened to Sarah in 2008. But also their actions starting really just a few short months after 9/11.

If Obama and the Democrats were our only political challenge to saving this country, it would be a gravy train. we could run circles and do backflips around those people along the way. factor in..ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, AP, NPR, PBS, most print publications..Entertainment media..Hollywood... and I feel like we are at the Alamo sometimes.

but I guess at the end of the day it is easy to forget that our true enemy is not flesh and blood.

I'm not even sure if Palin needs to run at this point. I think she does a great job garnering support for candidates.
