Sarah Palin's scorched-earth plan for the GOP: Governor challenges party to move sharply right

No bias there at all, nope (sarcasm)

[denydenydeny]

I’ve never bought into the “Palin is stupid” theme for a number of reasons, especially because the Left pushed it so hard—I suspect that, on some level, they know their diety Barry is only slightly smarter than the grinning imbecile he named as VP, and they needed to elevate him by diminishing his critics.

Palin has a real gift for simplifying complex issues, has demonstrated the ability to turn a phrase. I just think she’s damaged goods because the Left has successfully assassinated her character.

[GeronL]

So, he supposedly likes “Severely Conservative” Romney while hating on real conservatives.

They liked the guy lying about his conservatism but those who tell the truth are horrible.

When, in the history of this country, has person of low intelligence risen to high office of any kind, excluding dynastic and family wealth candidates? Governor Palin had no relatives or machine helping her become governor, quite the opposite.

[acapesket]

I agree. Sarah is willing to be the Martyr to save the Country…the Joan of Arc…if you will (a bit Over The Top) as a metaphor to get the Gang in line and cut out these B/S LOSERS.

I can see Charles Cooke and Byron York from my front porch.
Sarah lives rent free in thier pointy heads.

All the lefties and even those on ‘our side’ bitching about Palin have her next speech wide open on their calendars.

They’re addicted, and when she unloads next time in her more ‘familiar’ fashion, they’ll resume looking under their beds at night for her. Their ‘witch’ has hundreds of thousands of miles left on her to torment them.

[EinNYC]

immensely likeable Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey?

To whom is this one-trick teacher-hating pony likable? To Obamabots?

[CyberAnt]

Maybe not .. but I bet she’d make a GREAT Energy Secretary.

[Flick Lives]

Ever notice how long winded lib articles are? Guess they like to hear themselves. Much like Obama, they are.

[conservativegranny]

They sure are getting a lot of mileage out of one bad speech. I heard the speech. I’m a fan so I listen to as many of her speeches and interviews as I can. It wasn’t her best but hardly a career ender. If I had been there I probably would have given her a standing ovation regardless just because I would be so happy to hear her in person.

I wish she’d run but I don’t think she will. I was disappointed in her when she decided not to run the last time after all the hoopla. It just seems to me that she isn’t prepping for a run for political office.

I’ll have to go with my second choice for now. Cruz or lose!

[mylife]

She aint running.

[Boomer]

“Consider, say, Hillary Clinton versus a red-meat conservative who wants to shut down the Federal Reserve, the Environmental Protection Agency, the federal Education Department and maybe even the Internal Revenue Service, slash taxes, put God back in the public square, privatize social security, kill Obamacare, bomb the hell out of evil regimes abroad, and stop welfare Tuesday. “

Yes! This! Let’s do this and make it the platform to run on.

As time goes on I see myself as less of a Republican because the party is veering too far to the left for my taste’s and seeing myself as simply a conservative without a party.

This saddens me to no end. what happened to the Pub party when we weren’t looking? How did our elected representatives get so far off track? Boehner and McConnell are clearly only looking out for themselves.

We gave them a clear mandate in the last election and after it was over; they just said “uh, ya, thanks” and shined us on since our input was no longer important to them.

Seems to me it’s time for a change in leadership within the party and not just today; yesterday too.

Time to can both majority leaders IMHO. Let’s do it now. There must be a way to give them both a “no confidence” vote from the people who elected them.

[RobbyS]

Palin was stabbed din the back by the McCain crew because she didn’t get the message that his handlers had told him to take a dive.

[RginTN]

this op ed so dumb reading it made my head ache!

[Bratch]

That's not scorched earth.

Yet again Mr. President, you lie. You boasted that your exchange of an obvious traitor for a group of known terrorists hell bent on America’s destruction is because “we leave no man behind.” You lie. You left an entire nation behind in the Rose Garden while celebrating a military deserter whose treasonous act you smiled at for all the world to see. You hold the proverbial hand of a traitor, but don't have the character to do the same for deserving souls who consistently give their all to protect America. Have you spoken up for the likes of American sniper Chris Kyle or so many other fallen heroes? No. You have no guts for that.

Astute, commonsense patriots, you were right all along. I said months ago (https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin/posts/10152470416973588), “You blew it again, Barack Obama.”

Read Bristol's post for truth about Bowe Bergdahl:
http://www.patheos.com/…/its-true-our-president-traded-5-t…/ 

As Bergdahl’s father spoke his scripted Arabic greeting while Barack Obama nodded approvingly, I've never been more ashamed of a President's action than this arrogant, destructive exchange of another stone in our foundation of freedom – for evil men who hate our freedom. Our once solid rock upon which we were built turns to sand with astounding anti-American acts praised by Leftists. We will – we MUST – survive this President, but God help us survive the people who still support this.

THAT'S scorched earth.

Awww it’s only lightly toasted!

"And then she made a declaration so incoherent it made international news.

"Everyday-Americans are getting taken for a ride … and GOP leaders, by the way: the 'Man' can only ride ya when your back is bent, so strengthen it! Then the Man can't ride ya and Americans won't be taken for a ride."

Sarah played them like a fiddle... the "Man can only ride ya when your back is bent" is taken from Martin Luther King, Jr's "I've Been To The Mountaintop" speech. The media is too stupid to do a simple google search before crucifying her.

Absolutely.
