Critics on Both Sides Be Damned: Run, Sarah
Pajamas Media ^ | November 26, 2010 | Pam Meister

Posted on 11/26/2010 6:03:51 PM PST by Virginia Ridgerunner

Love her or hate her, Sarah Palin has, within the past couple of years, become an American institution. All the former Alaskan governor has to do is post something on Facebook or give a “shout-out” on Twitter and both pundits and everyday Americans on both sides of the aisle are either singing her praises or talking about what a dumb hick she is who has no business breathing, let alone commenting on the news of the day.

The big question, of course, is whether Palin should run for president in 2012. Here are just a few reasons why a Palin run makes sense:

You seem to be confusing Palin with Mitt Romney.

In our present climate, while Governor Palin helped save the GOP by absorbing and redirecting much of the third party talk, Romney’s nomination could actually result in a third party effort, one that could result in the GOP getting 30%.

Did anyone notice that when she had a go at Babs & the ‘blue-bloods” she also made a comment on the Bush economic policies that led us to where we are now...did anyone notice this? I’m wondering if she is referring to the SKY-ROCKETING IMMIGRATION parralleling the NAFTA treaty & de-industrializing America. Anyone see this in her comment?

Question: If she was anointed by McCain, the very epitome of RINOs that have ruined the country hand-in-hand with the Dems, what makes us think that Palin is actually the “outsider” that will ...

1) pay off the debt
2) decrease government
3) close the border

There is no one currently a bigger threat on both sides of the fence to the giving up of American sovereignty and the embracing of a one world order than Sarah Palin...they know she would NEVER stand for that agenda in any form...that’s why they despise her and what she stands for and consider her dangerous~

If Rommey runs the only way he can win is have Sarah Palin as VP...other wise people will stay home...and I am not sure he can win but if OBAMA keeps going down hill any one could win...Look at the Carter Reagan election up to the last minute it was pretty much tied...People just said screw Carter...It turned into a landslide..

Governor Palin was not “anointed” by the Presidential candidate, she was chosen to make up for his short comings in reaching the conservatives, just as Reagan chose HW Bush to reach the liberals, you should have picked up on that kind of thing by now.

Unfortunately, we have millions of imbecile voters who would vote against Sarah Palin, no matter what. Among them are independents and the Jewish vote without whose support, no candidate can capture the White House

That is so true! It's nothing against Sarah. It's just the fact of the matter. She's a breath of fresh air, but don't see her as POTUS. I think she'd be better used in another capacity. A lightening rod, yes, but not in that role.

Niteflyr and ansel12 : So what makes you suspect she’s an outsider?

The USA is :

1) 13 trillion in the hole
2) has had every president for the last 30 years promise energy independence

What makes you think she has not been screened and certified to keep business as usual going? Think about the fact she gets metric tons of free (though negative) press from the MSM. Why no just ignore her, and promote others?

If she decides to run she will win...If she decides not to run she will win. For Sarah whatever she does is win win.

Hardly, in 2007 as Governor of Alaska, she urged then Senator Stevens of Alaska to vote for ratification of the Law of the Seas Treaty.

I am sure people are quaking in their boots.

A Palin candidacy would be a stick in the eye to the ‘Establishment’, to the ‘Elites’, to the ‘Socialists’, to the ‘Libtards’, to the ‘RATs’, to the ‘RINOs’, and to anyone else out there who even THINKS that there is a better CONSERVATIVE candidate with past Executive experience that is still ‘alive’ and their name is not Ronald Reagan!

ansel12 : Childish? 13 trillion in ever growing debt over multiple decades and multiple Republican administrations, still open borders, amnesties, ever growing government, and she was picked by McCain and the Republican party, and you’re secure in the knowledge that she’s an outsider that will break the downfall?

Why?

Before I point my finger at you and call you childish, please spell out why you think I am, instead of just throwing that out with zero to back it up.
