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.
As she said in her speech, “What else can they say about us?”
Me too. Sent some to SarahPAC last week, but when she's ready, we will sell our silver and other stuff and start her campaign. We old folks have no other wish but to see America restored for our grandchildren.
Nice post. What a horrible day to be a Palin hater. This is gonna be fun.
If you go to Big Government.com and look at their Sarah Palin speech, at the 07:45 minute mark, you can see someone with a Vote Kloppenburg sign.
That’s a great picture.
For some reason, the media was unable to take a bad one, today :-)
Oh.I assumed your friend mentioned in #56 took the picture.
Bump! :)
That picture and the one of the cop came from the Journal-Sentinel. Just about all the other ones I posted came from Ashley.
You haven’t been watching very well then, there was a live feed, plus there have been several threads of WI with pictures of the rally posted. I haven’t see any Trump threads(well, maybe one)posted yet.
Game on!
See tagline for further edification.
The line in the sand has been drawn for your children and your grandchildren, folks.
Obama and the Democrats have to become a footnote in
American history.
This is no time for sunshine patriots.
We need to fight back, an d take OUR country back from those who would enslave us.
ML/NJ
BTTT!
I want those boots! I am a sucker for boots w/heels!
That reminds me, I received my ‘Palin 2012’ sticker earlier this week. Now that the van is clean of pollen again, I just might put it on there tomorrow ;) (Patriot Depot is where I bought it, for any who are interested)
Way too many Freepers call Obama dumb, ignorant, and incompetent. He is none of those things. He is a willing agent of Soros who has been assigned to implement hard socialism in America, like Bill Clinton was so assigned.
Obama is an evil agent of an evil force. He is willingly out to destroy our historic culture and institutions. He is no dummy. We underestimate our enemy when we take his cunning evil for mere stupidity.
Palin gives a marvelous speech, one that lays out the groundwork for the defeat of Bambi, and you carp and snit like a kindergartner.
May you join your mentor the urineaunt soon.......
Fwiw, you should watch the rest of the speech, it was excellent.
Ooo-Rah!! .............................. FRegards
I was there, and it was COLD. Part of the problem, though, was I thought it was April, and wore a spring jacket instead of a winter coat!
