She just cam on - 1st up on show.
That's her "Mama Grizzly" face.
And as a certain Civil War General said, I believe Sarah will say of those Democrat sub-human vermin who attacked her, and her family in the most vile terms possible,
"May God have Mercy on General Lee, for I will have none."
Cheers!
Another one I like is Herman Cain - he’s new at this and hasn’t got long to catch up - and probably hasn’t got a chance in hell - but maybe he’d be a really good VP.
I sent him some $. I think he’s a worthwhile person.
I really hope Sarah Palin runs.
She can always quit running if things go badly or something happens, so why not just start running now Sarah? come on Sarah ,Run!
Things a president should do:
1. deport illegals, only Tancredo is for this.
2. Make things in the U.S.A., manufacturing and that means trade barriers especially against China and OPEC. Trump and Perot were right on this.
3. Drill for oil here and make products here in the U.S.A.
4.cut taxes and reduce the size of government and especially reduce government regulations against businesses for example by eliminating the EPA. I think Palin is for this, letting the free market be free again.
that's for starters . any one agree , disagree?
Also, I agree about the crony capitalism. It’s a legitimate issue and if there is public outrage the establishment will be running from their partners in crime like cockroaches. Palin is so good at driving the message.
>> Yes, and I think her voice is toned down.
I think Sarah looks and sounds great. I prefer her pensive disposition on the issues.
reasonable post
must be something wrong with you..lol..didn’t you get the memo
That’s a classic.
That may be an insult to Ernest T Bass, who as I recall was a man of considerable character, once you got past his poor social habits and his rather, um, homespun exterior.
Darkwolf: I was thinking today, after resigning to the fact that Palin is not going to run, that I wanted Palin to run for the same reason that a parent wants their child to accomplish goals that the parent is not capable of achieving. I thought to my self, how selfish to place the weight of the World on Palin,s solders.
Later in the evening I saw her Hannity interview, and I thought to my self, how foolish of me, of course she is running.
Yep. I remember daily to send up a few prayers to the Almighty to bless her and her family with strength, safety, courage, healthy resilience, and peace of mind. I am convinced that the power of prayer is very real, Christian prayer especially, put forth in Jesus' name, and I'm heartened to know that I'm one of many FReepers and many American who pray for the good health, safety, courage, and strength of Sarah Palin and her family.
Amen! I'm with you!
Amen! I'm with you!
I pray for Sarah and her family every night, and will continue to do so.
Oh, puh-LEEZE. What that tells me is that I don't need to bother to finish reading your post. She resigned for TWO very good reasons: 1) to avoid being forced into personal bankrupty and 2) to avoid seeing her Administration wasting man-hours and tax dollars responding to a strategic attack of frivolous lawsuits whose SOLE PURPOSE was to drive her to personal bankruptcy (she wasn't allowed to use a defense fund set up by her supporters) and to paralyze her Administration by making it expend so much energy on required responses to the ridiculous lawsuits on such things as what logo she was wearing on a t-shirt, or holding up a fish during a speech.
The enemies that launched that below-the-belt attack KNEW THAT FOLKS LIKE YOU would perceive Palin badly no matter what she'd done -- if she'd NOT resigned, you'd be right here criticizing her for being so inept that she had to declare personal bankruptcy and for costing her state so much money dealing with lawsuits filed against her -- you'd be saying she should have gracefully bowed out (aka, "quit") rather than use the dime and time of Alaskan taxpayers to defend her political ego.
YOU have been manipulated, and would have been regardless of what Palin had done.
For whatever reason, Cain just isn’t catching fire this time, but I am interested in what he does next. Perhaps a cabinet position in the Palin/Perry White House?
You begin by saying you didn’t read my whole post, so your response is meaningless. You’ve simply inventing my position as you imagine it, and then attacking that position. That’s that kind of response I expect from blind followers—you don’t like what I posted and claim you didn’t even read it, yet you ‘answered’ it, because all those who do not worship the object of veneration are evil and must be shouted down.
Sorry, I think for myself and march in lockstep behind no political figure, even one I like, like Palin.
I don’t like quitters. Palin’s two big resume items are positions from which she’s quit. You can rationalize it all you like, something you wouldn’t do were she a democrat.
Unlike those who worship Palin, I don’t alter my standards and ethics to accommodate someone I ‘like’.
Simply put:
Her resume simply doesn’t tell me she is prepared for the job. And in two cases, the same two cases her boosters claim make her perfect for the job—she quit.
And now, she seems to be prepping to enter the race late, after the others have ‘bloodied’ each other. Huh, when previous potential candidates did that sort of thing we always criticized that attitude as being a sign the person wants to be coronated, and didn’t want to work for the job.
Unlike you, I answer directly what you’ve brought up, and I ask this:
You’ve explained that Palin left the governorship because of the liberal attacks and lawsuits—which is true as far as I can see. So, do you think those won’t happen when she’s president?
YOUR WORDS: “to avoid seeing her Administration wasting man-hours and tax dollars responding to a strategic attack of frivolous lawsuits whose SOLE PURPOSE was to drive her to personal bankruptcy (she wasn’t allowed to use a defense fund set up by her supporters) and to paralyze her Administration by making it expend so much energy on required responses to the ridiculous lawsuits...”
So these SAME liberal scum (we can agree on that) who couldn’t stand her while she was governor of Alaska are just going to watch her as president and do nothing? NO efforts to “paralyze her Administration by making it expend energy”? What should she do then—quit? Or deal with those attacks, which will be all over the media? Is the governorship of Alaska important enough that she had to quit to stop the distractions, yet the presidency of the US ISN’T?
And we see she has quit twice, whether justified or not, and now she’s waiting as long as possible to enter this race. The message that sends to me is that this is a person who leaves early and enters late, and you bots can spin it all you like, what does that say about someone’s ability to stick it out through the long, boring, tough job of the presidency?
All of this while she is bringing up a family—something that used to be so important around here. Now I guess the ‘conservative’ position is that the job of presidency is something a person can do on the side while attending to what we used to agree was the primary job of a mother—bringing up her kids.
I like Palin’s positions, which is why I’m having such a tough time deciding if I still support her, because beyond those positions, which I believe SHE believes, she doesn’t seem qualified.
You can spin all you like, but you seem to forget that if there are even a few conservatives asking these questions, there will be countless non-conservatives she needs to attract who won’t be paying attention to your nuanced responses.
Holy cow, that is the best summation of ONE element of her appeal I've ever seen, anywhere.
Indeed, part of me cheers Palin on because I want to see her up there on election night giving a victory speech, while Chris Matthews weeps on TV and Rachel Maddow calls for civil unrest, while I also want to see Palin roll back the damage of Obama and perhaps inspire some backbone in our gutless Republicans.
Of course, my problem comes from the rest of me, not just the part that feels great emotional investment in her winning.
I do think she may have come up with the key concept behind the whole election with crony capitalism. It'll be funny when Obama steals this concept (and he will, just watch) and attempts to co-opt it...hopefully while Congress is looking into his solar panel deal...
