Finally; Sarah Palin, yes
American Thinker Blog ^ | February 6, 2015 | Paul Murphy

First, Sarah Palin is one of us, not one of them.

Second, the country needs a healer – someone who can rise above the mass media's hate-fueled attacks while working to bring sanity back to government and ideological balance back to both major parties. Sarah Palin can do this: she's a deeply committed conservative who has consistently shown, and not just as governor and McCain's running mate, but throughout her personal and political life, both an ability to work with the other side and a willingness to listen to others.

Third, Palin is electable – whether she takes Scott Walker, Michele Bachmann, or Newt Gingrich along doesn't really matter. With her at the top of the ticket, the media will go berserk, and the same four million Tea Party voters who stayed home in 2012 will put her into the White House with a massive majority.

The title is structured to look like an announcement. That’s bad.

The only person who can mop the floor with Fauxcahontas or Cankles and not be portrayed as a male chauvanist pig is....a woman.

Good point. She's also got a huge advantage in dealing with the Mean Girls of the MSM. Remember when Katie "Pinhead" Couric chided H.W. Bush -- a distinguished WWII Vet old enough to be her father -- as if he was a child, for his support of tobacco growers? Being a gentleman, he had to sit there and take it, as ANY man would. Couric played dirty pool and took advantage of HW's good manners.

But a woman ... Palin would slay the Mean Girls of the MSM on a lot of levels: she's smarter, she's better informed, she's prettier to look at than most and every bit as gorgeous as the best of them.

And when it comes to dealing with Putin -- I believe Palin's advantages in that arena would be so incredible that she'd make him impotent in front of the world, and he'd enjoy it!!!

Well said. It's really revealing, how so many folks refuse to take responsibility for their own actions, like being so sure in their own hopeful minds that Palin was going to run, that when she didn't, they held Palin responsible for their own disappointment.

She didn't ask them to get their hopes up, they volunteered all by themselves. And when they were disappointed (as I was when Palin announced she wasn't running in 2012), they whined and cried and blamed Palin for conclusions that they jumped to all by themselves.

Okay, I will sound like an old dummy....what is a ‘follower’, really, I don’t know! (I am not subscribed or signed up to those Face Book or Twitter things so I’m not to much up on the associated lingo whatsoever.) It does sound like a ‘compounding of supporters’ thing if I’m guessing correctly. I think if Sarah tossed in her support would galvanize immediately and she would be a serious force to be reconed with. GO SARAH!!!!! Go TED!!!!!

I agree. Governor Plain is not going to run. One thing to remember is that she still has a small contract with FOX, smaller than last time, but it still exists.

If she were going to run she would be spending time securing big donors and setting a machine in place. She has not been doing that.

Her family, lovable though they may be, are unruly and she knows it.

People should remember her words from 2012 when she said that if she ran, she would not be able to be herself. She is correct about that.

I will admit, she is a far cry over Obama, but her chance to win isn’t very good. She does not enter what she probably can figure is not a good chance of winning.
I do not blame her for that.

Running is a drain on a person’s whole family. The truth is one person, be it Palin, Cruz or whomever, will not be able to turn this country around alone. We are too divided and conservative people would not act in the defiance of the Constitution way that the Obama admin operates.

In the opening paragraph of the article, the author takes issue with another article written by a colleague the previous day:

Not Sarah Palin -- not again

I’ve got a feeling Sarah is gearing up for this fight.

She's not going to run for President.

I have this fantasy that the the Republican candidate for President runs on this one theme:

“I promise to spend the first 100 days of my Presidency undoing everything Ophonybama did in his 8 years in the White House!”

It must be 2011 again.

I love these playground threads.

Every time I play on these I get at least one freepmail thanking me like its serious, and I just reply that I am just having some fun.

BTW, she is running. Wait for it.

Can I have some of what you're smoking? Palin isn't running.

Ahhh I see you’re back to try to delude yourself into the idea that Palin is doing anything more than whipping up the easy marks....

Glad to see some things just don’t change....

And I see you're back to trolling me. Again. I'm truly beginning to think you've got some sort of weird crush on me.

Hate to disappoint, but I'm not your type, Mike. I'm a hetero GUY, who's been happily married to a WOMAN for twenty years. Sorry to be so blunt about it, dude, but you've really got to quit following me around.

And now you're projecting your infantile crush on a mediocre at best politician from an electorally irrelevant state (Alaska) onto someone telling you what reality is. That's not trolling, that's just laughing at you as an easy mark for a shyster like Palin.

Lemmings do what lemmings do I guess....

I think we should rename Palin to Pied Piper Palin - just because of threads like this one.

Such a brave front, but the pain you're feeling comes through in everything you say. I beg you, forget about me, Mike. I'm just hopelessly hetero, and I really love my wife.
