I love Sarah Palin. There, I’ve said it. While I’ve never met her, that is beside the point.
What is right on point however is why I love her. Sarah Palin bleeds American. She is not American simply because of an accident of birth. Rather, she understands what makes America different; she believes that America is exceptional and knows what makes it so; she is passionately pro-American without being jingoistic; she is willing to fight for what she believes regardless of who’s lined up against her; she is willing to put her credibility and reputation on the line to help others who share her views. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, she is a normal, average, regular person.
Sarah Palin did not grow up rich or attend an Ivy League school. She did not spend her life in a courtroom extorting money from corporations or small businesses. She did not spend her life in an ivory tower or in an editorial room pontificating about how the world works in some fantasy universe where government regulations make everyone pure and everything perfect in every circumstance. No, she has lived a fairly normal life, one you might call working class.
I remember back in ’88 or ’92 someone asked George H.W. Bush if he knew the price of milk, and he didn’t. He was of course pilloried for being “out of touch” with the common man. (Frankly it doesn’t bother me at all that the VP or President of the United States doesn’t know the price of milk… let someone else buy the milk, I’d rather him focus on knowing how much of our money government is wasting!) Sarah Palin probably knows the price of a gallon of milk. More importantly, she understands America from where the tire hits the road. She started out her political career at the PTA because she wanted to improve the education her children were getting. From there she spent four years on the Wasilla city council and six years as mayor. Next she was appointed to chair the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and later defeated the incumbent to become the Governor of Alaska. In every one of those endeavors Palin showed herself to be not only capable, but effective and successful as well. Indeed, the latter two positions found her fighting an Alaska version of Tammany Hall.
She has demonstrated a willingness to fight for what she believes in, even if it is within her own party. She defeated the Murkowski machine in Alaska and she stood side by side with tea party candidates across the country in 2010, often against the wishes of the entrenched GOP establishment. Christine O’Donnell may have been a flawed candidate, but at least the citizens of Delaware had a choice between two distinctly different paths rather than the choice between the liberal and more liberal paths they would have had with Chris Coons and Mike Castle. They may have chosen bigger government, but at least for a change they had a choice, and Sarah Palin helped give them one.

If she declines to run, her stock will drop off the proverbial cliff. She’s got to be a player, not merely a commentator. Bob
Not pretty, Democrats know we have a mess on our side, Huck appears not to be running, FNC suspended Newt and Santorum but not Huck or Palin.
And what group supports Newt? He is a loser with some liberal ideas and he looks and sounds terrible.
Nope....just loading more magazines.....
that, and your ongoing pathetic commentary.
Are you really this stupid?
A rhetorical question of course......
HA-HA, another lakeshark canned (OVERUSED) personal insult on a “I love Palin” thread. Of course this is a complement, a somewhat meaningless one. I guess in your head it means something. But that is not my problem.
Unfortunately, it's doesn't seem to be an affliction you can change.
Is this what really inspires you? To throw around meaningless personal insults to anonymous internet posters on “I love Palin” threads? It seems to be your main activity. I cant object because I dont really understand the point of an “I love Palin” thread anyway. Maybe that is the purpose, to Anonymously vent personal frustration. Glad to be help if such a silly thing makes you feel better,
somewhere a DU bridge is missin its troll...8^}
Your mental midget legend grows by the hour. First, you announce that one of the joys of your life is being on "Love Palin threads" and being snarky. Then you accuse others of having a similarly small life motive. I guess you need your own problems to be shared by others......
I've also noticed you multiple times on other threads bragging about your love for snarking on Palin threads, so it seems to me you're the one with the small minded life goals.
But you knew that.
I just clicked on the thread and saw your snark, it deserved what it got from me. As to that being my driving force, Meh. I just see small minded fools like you and call it like I see it sometimes. People who aren't derisive @ssholes never get into trouble with me, just those who are. Anyone can go through articles I post and see they are mostly about other subjects than Palin, as is most of my posting history.
You on the other hand....total mental midgetry.
99.9%
"You are a mental midget. You are stupid. You are so dumb you don’t understand why I am relevant. If you were smart like me you’d care what I say. What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like I am not saying anything important? Are you that stupid? Can’t you recognize that I should be important to you? You must have a low IQ, not like me. Look how smart my comments are. By calling you stupid that makes me smart. Can’t you understand that? What is wrong with you?”
Yep, real important. Life-changing. You got me there LOL.
But dream on if you must.
The fact is, you're the one who came on to this thread to snark, you're the one who brags about how important that is in your life.
You did it openly on this thread, you were called on it, so now you have to make up thoughts in someone else's mind to justify your petty existence.
Pretty sicko (your new poster name methinks). You might want to rethink how pathetic that actually is.......
Sarah has my vote for 2012, whether she is on the GOP ticket or not.
