Palin is Running, and She’ll Get Creamed

It does appear that former governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah “you betcha” Palin will be throwing her beauty pageant sash into the presidential ring. She has added veteran Republican strategist Michael Glassner to serve as chief-of-staff for her political action committee, Sarah PAC, and steer her political operation. For the political insiders this is the strongest indication yet that Sarah Palin is seriously laying the groundwork for a serious bid for the white house. Unfortunately, she is probably the most disastrous of the current crop of possible GOP hopefuls and in my humble opinion would stand absolutely no chance in the general election. I will even venture to say that I don’t think she’ll make it out of the primaries. She is mistaking the general support the Right gives her as a person of character and cheerleader Tea Party as political support for a presidential bid. I submit to you the two are not the same and she will find this out the hard way. And if by some miracle she were to get the nod to lead the Republican party into the next general election we will witness a most embarrassing of electoral trouncings since Mondale got crushed by Reagan.

I defend Palin vigorously from the hatred and smears from the Left and admire her commitment to what is right and true. For the most part I share her politics, values, and ideology. And I think she makes a great fundraiser and cheerleader for the Right in general and the Tea Party in particular. But she had her chance for glory and success on the national stage and frankly blew it.

If you see success w/the MSM, I’d say you are in the ‘ easily persuade ‘ column. Don’t say it couldn’t happen to you - remember ‘08. Many are kicking themselves now for being ‘easily persuaded’ - at the time there was no talking sense to them.

Click off the MSM and live in reality.

One thing for sure, you never need to lie about a Democrat!

Davy the fat boy, Davy the fat boy
Isn't he round? Isn't he round?
What do he weigh folks?
Can you guess what he weigh?
It's only a quarter
Win a teddy bear for the girlfriend
Or something for the wife
You got to let this fat boy in your life

I think we can persuade him to do
The famous fat boy dance for you
Give me half a chance
I just know you'll like my fat boy's dance

Davy the fat boy, Davy the fat boy
Isn't he
Isn't he round?

Apparently to be a real conservative you have to think Palin is Reagan incarnate. Very odd.

Palin/West 16 years of conservative leadership. what the country needs to save itself....

[RichInOC]

We’re talking about a woman who beat the incumbent in their party primary to become the Republican nominee for governor, then beat his immediate predecessor in the general election. This, without major support from the Lower 49 (because unlike now, pretty much nobody south of Juneau knew who she was at that point). This, in a year when a lot of more experienced, better supported Republican politicians weren’t winning. Don’t discount her.

And let's see. Why would I want more revenues to be taken from oil companies and given to the public school system, other social programs, feminism, etc.? BTW, both of her parents worked for the public school system, and I understand that influence. I like her style, but my preferences are more conservative than that, especially with opportunities for smaller government ahead (defaults).

"2 - Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So, she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES". Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar."


TRANSCRIPT: Sarah Palin's RNC Speech
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2074322/posts

This was the spirit that brought me to the governor’s office when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau, when I stood up to the special interests, and the lobbyists, and the Big Oil companies, and the good-old boys...When oil and gas prices went up dramatically and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged: directly to the people of Alaska. And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way that they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources. As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.


...supports extra, "early funding for [public] education" (Alaska State).

it might help if you didn't post sexist insulting garbage. “beauty queen sash” “cheerleader” . this piece could have been written and posted at dailykos and you think it is “conservative”?

[Cheetahcat]

“Dear Sage,

A walk down memory lane is in order. RINO GOPers (aka Rockefeller Republicans) and all their blather was victorious for the stumblin’ bumblin’ nominee Gerald Ford.

Reagan gave a unifying, consession speech at that convention. What the delegates instantly realized, at that moment, was ... they nominated the wrong guy. (Watch Reagan’s convention speech on You Tube and see for yourself)

Of course, Ford was defeated by peanut head.

Mark my words, dearest Sage ... we won’t make that dumba$$ mistake again by listening to the establishment RINO GOPers.

And for those conservatives that give heed to this prattle, please check your premises before you act. Stay the course, we will restore Ameica.

God Bless”

Nice Rebuttal Thanks.

[TFMcGuire]

CC, I don’t ned you wasting your energies on telling me why Palin cannot win.

I need you to join the rest of us in ensuring she does win.

My back is to the wall and I will not support a RINO Like Romney or Huckabee this election.

I need a Reagan-type Conservative.

Just an observation. FReepers can draw their own conclusions.

I don’t know how old you are but there was a time in the late 70’s when I was scared to death about the current President. The alternative was even crazier. A fundamentalist wackjob Right Winger. He was going to destroy civilization. Turned out that guy was Ronald Reagan. Not so bad after all.
