Is Sarah Palin the “real” Hope for Change?
Mark Epstein ^ | September 5, 2009 | Mark Epstein

Posted on 09/06/2009 3:00:08 AM PDT by SolidWood

Mention Sarah Palin’s name in polite company and you’re sure to ellicit a firestorm of indignation from all sides of the political spectrum. And even though it’s a foregone conclusion that her name is a catalyst for those who support “all that is wrong with the country,” (regardless of political striping), we’ll journey to that dismal land of Palin-bashing and irrationality.

Sarah Palin represents a stereotype to many people. Almost a throwback to the era of Mad Men. However, if there’s an undergirding insanity in the body public, it’s not Sarah’s beliefs, but those who abhor her. Unmistakable among the “Haters of Sarah” is her own political party. A party that has devolved into slow socialism via men like John McCain. Carefully ditching its conservative credentials like a crack addict in the midst of a police Field Interview (FI), the Republicans have consistently sought to distance themselves from Sarah. Included in this duplicitous pandering to the mainstream media are McCain’s handlers; men and women who wouldn’t understand true conservatism if they were locked-up in GITMO for five years and exposed to William Buckley re-runs 24/7.

Even George W. Bush was not immune to slow socialism. However, in those areas where he felt comfortable and immune from scrutiny, Bush instituted some of the most egregious policies, programs, and personnel changes, whose result served to energize the most radical leftist positions. His appointment of a corruptocrat to head the Office of Special Counsel is one example, while Rumsfeld’s National Security Personnel System is yet another. In essence, Bush’s policies at the federal personnel level handcuffed all hopes of real change, enriched managers in the “pay for performance” scam, and radicalized many federal employees.

McCain policy she had to share.

You might find this article intersting:

Joe The Plumber 'appalled' by McCain (over bailout, but amazed by Palin)

I think it's clear that Palin was forced to go along with a lot of McCain's RINO crap policies because she was on the ticket. She clearly wasn't comfortable with defending the Bailout in interviews.

"we’ll journey to that dismal land of Palin-bashing and irrationality."

Merely mentioning Sarah's name in front of many democrats brings out the most psychotic mental patients from within them.

The only thing missing from any interaction with these democrat losers is the slimy foam oozing out of their mouths.

That's why I love to mention her name whenever I am interacting with them.

Go Sarahcuda!

Sarah Palin quit on Alaska; I imagine she’ll, Perot-like, be sorely tempted to quit on the Republicans, too, if nominated. As with divorce, the second surrender’s usually easier and quicker than the first

What the hell are you talking about? And it’s very odd that I’ve never seen you on any of the Palin threads before...

This is what I’m talking about:

Sarah Palin to Resign as Alaska Governor, Citing Probes and Family ...
Sarah Palin, the Republican Alaska governor who captivated the nation with a combative brand of folksy politics, announced her resignation yesterday in ...
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/.../AR2009070301738.html

And here’s a Palinpost from me, for reference:

Headline: Sarah Palin Is Remarkably Similar To Ronald Reagan

Remarkably Similar To Ronald Reagan, except that she’s screechier, whinier, and less stable. But what accomplished woman isn’t screechier, whinier, and less stable than a man-of-slightly-similar-accomplishment-at-the-same-relative-point-in-his-life?

flowerplough is obviously an ultra liberal RINO, having been stuck up in the boonies for too long.

Good article. Few comments afterward, by a couple of cretins that are typical of the anti-Palin windbags.

to 11 - Flowerplough has indeed graced previous Palin threads with his/her venomous; ignorant remarks. I am of the opinion that Flowerplough is either a troll or one who vehemently loathes strong willed, intelligent yet feminine and attractive ladies such as Mrs. Palin. Throw in Sarah's Christianity and the heads of folks like Flowerplough explode.

Oh, so you’re either a Romneybot, a Pauline Apostle, or a lib operative who has absolutely no clue as to what you’re talking about.

Your comments are duly noted. Now run along and play with your toys.

Yeah, I remember this loser now-—he’s one a clique of misogynistic RINOs on here who think Palin can’t succeed because she’s a woman and has a family.

Yes, like Maggie Thatcher.

Conservative Snobs Are Wrong About Palin
I know Maggie Thatcher. The two women have a lot in common.

Get Sarah on board with pushing the FairTax and we’d have a real revolution. Real change. Change the world.
