If Sarah Palin’s not running for president, what a terrible waste that would be of the single best stump speech I’ve heard since, well, Palin’s ’08 convention speech, which just happened to be the single most electrifying political moment of my adult life. A thrill didn’t just run up my leg that night, it ran up everything in me that’s American, and today in Madison, WI, it happened again. Surrounded by an obnoxiously hostile, astro-turfed, pro-union crowd that tried and failed to drown out her message with obnoxiously hostile astro-turfed noise, the former Alaskan Governor took the fight directly to the growing pile of Obama’s failures in the most effective way we’ve heard yet from a potential GOP challenger.
If you want to know why Obama’s Palace Guards in the MSM are determined to destroy this woman and all of popular culture has risen up to help, press PLAY. If you want to know why the GOP Establishment had better start looking over their collective shoulders,
You see what else she did there? Exactly what she did as a reform-minded governor in Alaska. She called the GOP Establishment out for everything they’re doing wrong, appealed to reasonable rank-and-file union members disgusted by their leadership, and reaffirmed her own proud union credentials. Better yet, she also launched the kind of tight, sharp, and articulate attack on President Obama’s failed presidency that likely has the White House — and their media allies — loosening their ties, clearing their throats, and looking for any word she might have mispronounced as an excuse to drown out her appealing message with the furtherance of a cruel “stupid” narrative they’ve been failing at for two-plus years.
I’ll ask again: How can someone so “dumb” be so right about everything?
Who knows how the MSM will try to spin this speech into a negative, but we all know they will. However, that’s the beauty of the Internet age. Today the corrupt media has no say in the matter. We as citizen journalists and activists can spread the word unfiltered through Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media. Please do.
For my money, what Palin really accomplished here was grabbing hold of and making her own what has made Donald Trump such a breath of fresh air and boosted his poll numbers. What we want first and foremost in our GOP standard-bearer is someone unafraid of the MSM, and who takes the fight directly to Obama. We also want them calling out our friends in DC when they — to paraphrase the Governor — rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic after they’ve promised to stop Obama from hitting icebergs.
On this day, Tea Party tax-day, Sarah Palin walked into the heart of this nation’s battle, stared down a gallery of Leftist union goons with poise and grace, and articulated our message as well as anyone ever could. Let’s hope this is just the beginning.
She may have kicked them so hard she will be wearing them for earnings!
Palin 2012
A FANTASTIC Sarah speech and NO ONE had a live thread on that Madison speech - 13.000 people there to listen to Sarah and virtually NOTHING on Fr - but oh...so many posts on Trump in Florida...what is wrong with Fr? They never let us put a Sarah post in frontpage but Trump is ALL OVER breaking news. Hello Jim??? Where are you on that one?
There are so many great lines in this speech, she should save a few. I was cheering.
bttt
Well. I just listened to the entire speech. It is a campaign speech, no doubt about it.
If she stays on target I think she can kick Obama’s ass.
It’s not as if the Left will dredge up some new accusation against her. They’d have to photoshop something to get any lower than they have.
Contrast this with the pissy Peggy Noonan column in the WSJ.
I’ll vote for Sarah.
kristinn’s thread was regarded as LIVE - he had the LIVE stream linked, but believe me, I unbderstand and agree with your point.
I posted the LIVE STREAM LINK on the FReepathon thread where Jim watched it along with several of us.

This was the Live Thread earlier.
There’s just that peeping last summer’s neighbor’s book coming out about her -— whathisname? Joe McGuiness? -— that’ll be gutter trash -— along with that trash movie, Game Change.
That means the Left and the Regime are still running against Governor Sarah Palin and she knows it.
She will announce in her own good time and I am willing to wait, along with my money that I have saved ONLY FOR HER.
Thanks for all the Sarah pings lately Onyx! You do a great job for all of us Sarah lovers!

A truly great speech. Worth listening to over and over — as in many campaign stops for the next year and a half.
I love “solar shingles and really fast trains”, just for instance.
Please write to me again. I replied to you!
I’m here now, Just send without the html. Just the links, (((please))).
Folks...make sure you check out the video of Brietbart’s introduction of the Governor...he tells the unions and community organizers where to go...literally. Only runs a few minutes, but worth every second.
