Fred Malek: Palin’s not doing what she needs to do to run
HOTAIR.COM ^ | 16 APRIL 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 04/16/2010 5:28:52 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Who’s Fred Malek and why should you care? Think of him as sort of the Beltway-insider equivalent of John Ziegler. Like Ziegs, he’s a Sarahcuda defender par excellence, and like Ziegs, he doesn’t think she’s angling for a serious shot at the presidency. From a WaPo profile last year describing him as “the authority on Palin”:

The party’s using her for the positive PR. The positive effect of her name will wear off, and they’ll discard her.

If she’s a mind to run towards the White House, she’s going to have to do what you say - ditch the RINOs and let her true colors show through.

I’m not sure at this point that she wants to seek higher office, and that’s OK too. As long as she understands that the party is full of RINOs that are as ruthless as the punks on the left.

I guess you're getting a lesson in how some sarcasm can be too subtle for some to understand?

Just tweeted by someone at Sarah's speech in Kentucky:

Sarah said, "" she's reading the book of Esther at night to Piper... "About the underdog who is waiting for the right time"" LINK

sarcasm or not,
FR is loaded with that same type of post over the months.
One that is supposed to be sarcastic in the middle of the ugly same that push their hate is lost.

The Lefties want Sarah to run, they can’t attack here unless she runs. Their attacks upon a private citizen can be taken to court, especially the “Intent” to lie and liable.

Sarah isn’t going to run until the last possible moment, and then maybe not even then.

Sorry, Libs, go pond sand, she is exercising her first Amendment rights and you look silly or worse if you unleash another nationwide campaign on Sarah.

“Fred Malek: Palin’s not doing what she needs to do to run.”

Fred Malek worked for Nixon and got into pretty serious trouble helping Nixon target “Jewish officials” whom Nixon deemed subversive. He left government during the Ford administration and was MIA (or maybe it was persona non grata) during the Reagan Administration.

He showed up in the very next moderate GOP administration (that of G.H.W. Bush) and was appointed campaign manager for Bush’s reelection effort. He thus has “hands on” experience managing the worst election defeat of an elected incumbent Republican President in 60 years since Hoover.

As has been pointed out, this guy is in the tank for Romney. He has a list of top ten contenders which I link below in which he names Haley Barbour and Mike Castle and Mark Kirk ahead of Palin on the list.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22736.html

Why would I take advantage of a guy who converted the magnificent 49 state 60% Reagan landslide of 1984 into a 37% disaster that resulted in the first defeat of an elected, incumbent GOP president since Hoover? Yet old Allahpundit taqke him for the Gospel. Sarah Palin sdoes not need the advice of this old RINO.

SShortly after she resigned as governor, they asked her if that did not mean the end of her career, and her reply was, If I die, I die.” which is a quote from the Book of Esther, by Esther who took a great chance rescuing her people.

Sorry to dash your hopes, Fred Malek and Allahpundit, but she is running. And she is winning.

Malek also served Reagan. From his Thayer Capital Partners bio:
Mr. Malek advised President Reagan as a member of the executive committee of the President’s Council on Cost Control, as a member of the President’s Commission on Private Sector Initiatives and as a member of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

AP’s quote of Malek’s is not found in the video or even is own right up. He said she is focusing on 2010 and that is the right thing to do.

In my opinion, Romney, Huckabee, and Pawlenty are going for the nomination too soon.

Why not take her at her word.

She said she would want to run if it's right for country and family.

I saw #28 before but wasn't able to decode it:
