Ping!
This is why so many conservatives admire and support Sarah Palin. I'm proud to be one of them.
Gingrich is hoarding mo’ money then others.
We have to outstomp the money and elect our baby Reaganette Sarah!
Palin also slyly mentioned how excited she was to ride horseback at the ranch... on a trail that was cleared by RR himself. I certainly got the metaphor.
The moment she announces, I’m in for as much as I can afford to give her campaign. She will have an astounding campaign fund and it will scare the RINOs and left to know how many Davids are here to fight their Goliath.
Nice!
Domestically speaking, I don’t see much difference between Clinton and either Bush. Makes me sad to say it too.
Dittos.
This is a daunting task.
In the entire field, only Gov. Palin has either committed to that mission or has the stature to see it through.
The Tea Party delivered a ton of votes. The Republicans fired back at the Tea Party by supporting Rats or write ins, and followed with the "Date Night" at the State of the Union address. It was their way of saying, "Here inside the beltway, we're one big happy family. If you didn't go to Harvard and don't embrace the premise of a New World Order, we'll take your votes, but after that, the H### with you. We're dancing with the Rats who are more ideologically in agreement with us." Battle isn't over. 2012 will tell us if we can root out the One Worlder Big Government types from the Republican party.
I must admit I was so distracted by the terrible audio/video that I didn't listen as well as I should have, so it will he great to listen to it again or, better yet, read the transcript. BTW, if you find one, forward it to Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit, who had this to say:
I DIDN’T SEE SARAH PALIN’S SPEECH LAST NIGHT, but Randy Barnett saw it, and emailed: “I must admit it was an impressive speech. The first I have heard her give since she accepted the VP nomination, only much better. Reaganesque even.” When Sarah Palin is getting that kind of praise from Georgetown law professors, it suggests that there’s something missing from the narrative. Is there a transcript somewhere?
Thanks for the analysis. Didn’t have a chance to see the speech, but I really like what Palin has to say about “compassionate” conservatism and big government.
Clearly, conservatism is favored by the majority of people, while liberalism is opposed by the majority.
The confusion comes because the values of liberalism (lying, cheating, stealing or policies of big government in general) are very often disguised as those of conservatism.
When this happens, people think they’re opposing conservatism but in fact what they oppose is liberalism disguised as conservatism. In the confusion, conservative candidates lose votes.
She was way too ‘subtle’ last night.
It was easily the least of any of her speeches.
Excellent.
Very well done!
I've hated that term "compassionate conservatism" since the first time I heard it. It's insulting, presumptuous, and condescending and reflects badly on whoever uses it.
