Sarah Palin: The Tonight Show Last Night (Backstage pics!)

Sarah Palin's Facebook Notes ^ | December 12, 2009 | Sarah Palin

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

The Conan visit was fun – the best part was that we had Wounded Warriors with us in the audience. I can’t express how proud I am of their courage and patriotism.

I’m extremely happy that Laura Ingraham had the great idea to put the simple coat from the cover of my book to good use. It’s being auctioned to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and the Fisher House. Laura pulled it all together with a live auction that continues through December 18th. Click here to see the auction and God Bless the U.S.A!

Truth is I don't think the left/DBM have a clue how to handle Sarah. They appear scared sh__less of her and should be. The wrong word from her and many of us will turn on them in a heartbeat.

[rodguy911]

Exactly, Sarah will let the RNC know if “She” is interested in running.

[rodguy911]

Exactly!

I have never forgotten the Huckster running shotgun for McGeezer to keep Romney out. He will never be the nominee and will be dam lucky to get the second seat. I don't care what his numbers are or who many watch his tv show.

You betcha!

[who knows what evil?]

Have to register at Facebook now to read her?

Not to my knowledge...I read her columns all the time, and I didn't register. You probably have to register to post commentary or to post to her Facebook account directly.

He made some mistakes but far less than Ronald Reagan who actually GAVE amnesty to millions of criminals

That's exactly why Bush's amnesty push was so wrong. Most of the country learned from Reagan's well meaning mistake of immediate amnesty and secure borders... maybe... someday... never.

Bush was stupidly quadrupling down on known failure.

1. Tax cuts which expire. (the greatest WTF move in US political history)

Might turn out to be a savvy political move. There are going to be a LOT of middle class people who will be ticked as all get out if the tax cuts are allowed to expire.

Which will happen on the Dem's watch.

And in the middle of the worst national economic situation since the Great Depression.

I figured from the start that the sunsetting of the tax cuts was partly a hedge against the Dems being in control of at least part of the government when it happened, and therefore designed to put them between a rock and a hard place in the 2010-2012 timeframe. There's no way that GWB could have foreseen the economic situation, but that only serves to make the situation that much worse for the Dems.

BTW, we should NOT be using the term "Allow the tax cuts to expire". We SHOULD be using the term "Allow taxes to increase". Take the language and tactics the Dems use in calling a lower-than-projected funding increase a "cut" and turn it back on them. They are in the big chairs now, they will be the ones responsible for allowing taxes to go back up.

Hold on a second... while I disagree with what Bush wanted.. he did want SIMULTANEOUS tightening of borders with amnesty.

Still wrong .. but was not “Some Day”...

Also.. Bush provided the SINGLE BIGGEST build up of the Border Patrol in the history of our Republic.

Not saying GWB was perfect..but he was one of the MOST conservative Presidents we have had... PERIOD!!

Hold on a second... while I disagree with what Bush wanted.. he did want SIMULTANEOUS tightening of borders with amnesty.

I don't want to drag this out, I'll leave you the last word, but...

We told Bush for years "secure the borders first" THAT would have been "SIMULTANEOUS" since signing a law granting amnesty requires only seconds while it requires years to put fences, tools and manpower in place to truly secure the borders.

Bush would have no part of "secure the borders first" until too late in his administration when he halfheartedly made a show of trying to secure the borders.

If Bush would have deigned to listen to fellow Republicans earlier in his administration and truly secured the borders, I don't think there is any doubt that Congress would have passed a worker plan and a bit of amnesty, but Bush was intent on ramming amnesty and a promise of secure borders down his base voters' throats.

That's how Bush got to a 26% approval rating, no Democrat approval, no independent approval and he alienated about a third of the Republican voting base.

[SoftwareEngineer]

Very good post.

I disagree on what Bush wanted but his muddled communication on that issue cost him.

I think he did not realize how much the base wanted to SEE the border secured.

I think he assumed that since he was sincere people would believe him. Problem is that while Bush was sincere, Congress was not

In any case, well reasoned post... thanks!
