Is Sarah Palin actually Ronald Reagan Part 2?
I can’t help but notice numerous similarities between Sarah Palin and Ronald Reagan: both with a strong Christian faith and unabashedly pro-life. Like Reagan, Palin is a free-market advocate.
Both were governors of Western states and enjoyed the outdoors.
Both seemed to have supportive spouses content to stay in the background. Both have autobiographies titled An American Life (probably a conscious decision by Palin).
Both are vocal supporters of states’ rights. Palin, like Reagan, cites the Founders often. Like Reagan, Palin is attractive and charismatic but not supported by the political class.
Reagan was president of the actors union, and Palin’s husband is a union member. Both had the old-time Americana thing going (Reagan from a small town in Midwest, Palin from Idaho and then Alaska).
Both had monumental speeches at the prior term presidential conventions as did President Obama in 2004.
Reagan won two elections by a combined 1,000 to 50 electoral votes.
So whether you are right, left, moderate or none of the above, you can see why Palin commands so much attention.
If the right is brave enough to nominate her, 2012 could be another Reagan-type landslide.

I sure wish I could go face to face with vile creeps like rahmmy the rat and tell him COMMUNISM will NEVER be the American way of life...And that men like him who cannot hold onto their faith, surely cannot hold on to their patriotism or any worthy belief system and have NOTHING to offer. Period.
