PALIN: 'WE HAVEN'T YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!'—EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH BREITBART NEWS
What's Next:
Short term: I encourage others to step out in faith, jump out of the comfort zone, and broaden our reach as believers in American exceptionalism. That means broadening our audience. I’m taking my own advice here as I free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most exceptional nation. We can't just preach to the choir; the message of liberty and true hope must be understood by a larger audience.
Focus on the 2014 election is also imperative. It’s going to be like 2010, but this time around we need to shake up the GOP machine that tries to orchestrate away too much of the will of constitutional conservatives who don’t give a hoot how they do it in DC.
We’re not going to be able to advance the cause of limited constitutional government unless we deal with these big government enablers on our side....
2. Where do you think the country stands at the beginning of the President's 2nd term?
Conservatism didn’t lose. A moderate Republican candidate lost after he was perceived to alienate working class Reagan Democrat and Independent voters who didn’t turn out for him as much as they did for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008. Granted, those same voters also didn’t turn out for Obama as strongly either. We had an election defined by a biased media plus millions of voters who sat it out in disgust.
As long as we allow the media and GOP establishment to tell us who our nominees must be, we can expect to lose. I’m not interested in losing. America’s next generation can’t afford another loss.

Mrs CW3 and I say go, go, Saracuda.

Thank you for posting that most demoralizing statement. Now do us and yourself a favor, and get off the computer and do something productive, instead of wallowing in that enemy-induced mentality.
Sarah’s the “onliest” one, if i may quote a young caccius clay. Sarah focuses right on the “rub” in the issues; she doesn’t tap dance around, & it’s really refreshing.
Whenever we get a good Conservative Candidate, we needn’t worry about particular constituant groups. Voters automatically gravitate to goodness and commonsense....Reagan, ‘94, ‘10, and Sarah’s Governor Race in Alaska all illustrate it. Worrying about uniting Evangelical, Libertarians & such, when we have a Good Conservative, is superfluous BS, and the language of rinos.
Yes. West and Palin.
She can and will fight the corruption that is the root of the destruction of the Republic.
She can marshal the right people that have an ethical underpinning.
People will follow her.
The first thing is to work on cleaning out the electoral process - without that, there will be no progress.
Where the heck does a person sign up for that?
What you have said Lach I can add nothing too.
Such a statement has never been truer since John Adams argued for Independence in Philadelphia.
That's my dream team.
[Taps fingers on table, looks bored]
Still waiting for awesome leadership after ... how many years?
For the past 50 years, the Democrats, the media, AND the GOPe have played upon these divisions among conservatives to push their candidates in the primaries. Mitt won the primary because Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, and others split the vote.
Newt was running third, and Santorum a close second behind Romney, but they successfully painted Santorum as someone who would “impose his morality” on the country, which pretty much cost Santorum the libertarian vote. No, Santorum was a man with moral values, but he had no intention of “imposing” them on anyone. But that was the meme—and it worked.
And the GOPe has organized the primaries with liberal states and open voting states in the lead to help ensure that no decent conservative will win.
It’s imperative that we just have one Conservative in the primary, so we don’t water down the vote. But, with Sarah, “OR” Allen West, not both, in the primaries, any other milktoast kind of Conservative, such as Santorum, would be inconsequential.
Too many people fail to understand the need to work together and agree on some points that are basic to each side in order to avoid a far worse result.
Your whole post is absolutely correct and eloquent but that statement right there is one we should all embrace.
Sadly the GOP-E and their people never seem to want to moderate with US.
We swallow our pride and vote for the candidates they run, yet I know for a fact that many of the GOP people refuse to vote for ANY Tea Party Candidate.
Perhaps those moderates need to moderate somewhere else.
I will continue to work on my Libertarian Brothers and Sisters to accept Sarah (Many do and yet still more are simply unaware of how on the same side she/we all are)
Sarah’s September 3, 2011 anti-cronyism, get government out of supporting big corporations, anti lobbying, free market speech that even the NYT raved about should make any libertarian shout for joy! I don’t understand why the libertariansi know are so pro-bashing Sarah but never actually want to pay attention to what she says
