Palin 2012. Hypothetical narrative.
If this is what she runs on — and does it well — then watch the hell out:
I’m Sarah Palin, and I’m running to be Citizen-In-Chief.
I entered politics to change something. I ran to serve my state, the great state of Alaska, and then for the vice-presidency because I care about this country.
I saw first-hand the viciousness and pettiness that have made Americans fed up with politicians, politics as usual, and the destructive personal attacks that also go on far too often. Those sorts of things that public service should never be about.
I thought I could serve my country best by being removed from that environment.
I don’t need a title to bring to Washington the change America really needs: a dose of humility in a federal government that has completely lost touch with its citizens.
So I come to you today as an Alaskan, as a parent of a soldier, and as a mother of five. I am running not as a member of the elite, of the establishment — but of the everyday. I ask to serve you as president because I have shared your experiences and I understand your disgust with the system. What we need today is not a ruler, but a servant. A servant of the people. A servant of America.
I will govern as first among equals, not as your ruler. Not as the Queen of Washington, giving orders that descend from on high. I know firsthand how that culture of selfishness and personal destruction in Washington harms lives. I ask for your support because I share your disgust with the system. And if you will fight with me, if you will put that trust in me to do that — then you can trust me, also, to change it.
“Actually I feel white guilt had a lot to do with it as I don’t think Barry would have stood a chance of a snowball in hell if he wasn’t half black...”
I agree. That’s why I think the guy will get another term, too. Too many people, I think, feel so good about electing the first black man president, that they won’t want to admit it was a mistake.
That, and we’re gonna get another round of “if you don’t vote Obama, you must be a racist”, and that seems important to some people that they aren’t perceived that way. It’s just wrong.
Bunk. I want your money. You must want mine. Step up or step off.
“Well at least I can say I fought it at ever turn...lotta good it does me now though.”
Well, I’m in the same boat you are—and it seems that there’s a big hole in the bottom of this boat.
The left knows about the country's weak underbelly and uses the race card every chance they get....you can't say one word about Barry without getting labeled a racist...it doesn't work on me anymore and hopefully the over-use of it will diminish it's power over others...
“Truth isn’t always self-evident.”
Of course it is. Now, whether or not an individual fails to recognize it, or reasons post hoc ergo propter hoc doesn’t mean truth “isn’t always self-evident.”
“...but it’s nice to talk to you too.”
Now, is that true(yes, I’m being cheeky)?
Well start bailin' like mad, brother!!...:o)
I don’t know what that means, but JR and I aren’t on personal terms. I doubt he knows who I am.
I named the price so go ahead and name the payment options.
Your naught but a bug bite on my ass, but I love a good wager, so name your terms vermin!
Your thoughts don’t amount to much.
LOL!
I guess my first mistake was not asking who the truth is self-evident TO.
Gotta remember that for next time. :)
Excellent!
I am certain the wager I offered was one Benjamin (The $100 paper version) that Palin would not be the next candidate for the Republican nomination for President.
Your credit is good with me, since your offer of JR holding the bet is off the table.
Do we have a deal?
Oh but they are they are! You DID hear Helen Thomas go off on "Glibbs" the other day didn't you? The natives are getting pissed...BO's days of walking on water are numbered...I predict no way he will get a second term as he will screw things up so badly and he won't be able to blame it on GWB forever..."the higher you loft them the harder they fall "....
:) That’s the problem. Do we start bailing or swimming?
Then you should not have a problem wagering against them.
I don’t deal w/vermin.
either or both....better than sitting around resigned to failure....
That's your out?
Pitiful.
You see. There’s some truth for ya. :^)
Can always use a little more truth...
Yeah, I heard about Helen. It was hilarious.
But (and here’s the cynic again), the press is only mad because they aren’t getting the access they think they’re entitled to. Plus, the administration let in some nobody to ask the question. I don’t think their anger has anything to do with his policies. Or did I miss something on that?
“either or both....better than sitting around resigned to failure....”
I hear ya!
