The Palin Effect: Tea Party Flexes Muscle
Breitbart News ^ | 5-14-2012 | Tony Lee

Posted on 05/14/2012 1:03:29 PM PDT by palin45potus

The conventional wisdom among the mainstream media is that the Republican establishment would strike back during the 2012 election, thereby blunting the influence of the conservative Tea Party movement that propelled the party to historic gains in the 2010 midterm elections. Implied in this chatter is that the power and influence of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, seen by many as the figure who can best mobilize the Tea Party movement into action, would fade as well. But recent events in Indiana, Nebraska, and Texas have shown that this conventional wisdom is false.

Sigh....Sarah is the only one worth voting for in this morass of Republican stew.

I still maintain that Palin could run as Independent and still beat both Obamma and Romney. But still hoping for a brokered convention.

Well, I wrote her in for the primary but I hope and pray that somehow, some way, a brokered convention will put her on the ballot in Novenber. If not, I’ll just have to write her in again. I will not vote for either Obamney or Romama! I’m too old and crippled to shoulder a rifle and fight against the tyranny that’s taking over our country but I can cast my vote for the person I feel is best qualified to run the government. Leaving the space blank would be a cop-out.

I’m planning to do the same. Just make sure that your state permits write-in votes for president in November so that your ballot counts. Otherwise, it will not be counted and your votes for lesser offices will also be tossed out.

God bless and keep you.
