That was the best speech I’ve seen from her since the 2008 convention. I have to admit, I’d resigned myself to the idea that she probably can’t win cause her negatives are too high and maybe she wouldn’t even run because of it.
Then I saw this speech, and now I think, “why should we let the other side tell us who we are allowed to have as our nominee?” She fights harder than anyone else, and makes more sense than anyone else.
The way I see it, they’re going to try to destroy any nominee we have, so why not go with our best? If she keeps making speeches like that, she can win this!
the only people who say her negatives will make her lose are the beltway people who hate her anyway.
The powers that be still don’t understand the Governor’s influence and why we like her, why we turn out for her.
They’re too busy playing games in DC, we’re tired of games.
And frankly, 14.5 Trillion deficits scare the dickens out of me! It’s time for drastic.
If the debt is raised - and they’ll have to, if they don’t want defaults - then I want cuts as large as the stimulus, as large as the biggest increase in the last two years. All the fluff that doesn’t keep us alive, that can’t be directly tied to protection of our inalienable rights -— which are not the same as our wants and wishes.
This isn’t time for the machete, but it’s time for some serious cutting.
Judging by her example, “fighting like a girl” looks like telling the truth, giving the left fits, and where possible having fun doing it. (Hmm…I think I just summarized the FR mission statement.) Judging by the example of some of her opponents (not all of them men, by the way), “fighting like a man” looks like hiding behind the girl, letting her fight the fights and take the arrows, waiting for her to fall, and then swooping in to take the credit and the spoils. Looking at it that way…I’d rather fight like a girl.
Right now we’re only watching the warmup acts for the Greatest Show on Earth, 2012 edition. The clowns are putting on their makeup, and the dancing elephants are trying on their sequined costumes.
Leave your conventional wisdom at the gate, anything can happen!
If the Republicans can’t fight like men then fight like a bunch of girls.
at least fight
“That was the best speech I’ve seen from her since the 2008 convention.”
I was thinking that, too. Then when I thought about it, I decided Saturday’s was her best speech EVER. The 2008 speech was remarkable because she was fresh and new and she knocked our socks off. This week, though, she was even better.
I agree, the left and some amongst us forget that a couple of “knocked out of the park” speeches like this can set a candidate on a course directly to the White House. And she doesn’t need a teleprompter...
“Sarah Palin laid it down in Madison, Wisconsin in a speech”
Sarah is the best by far,but shouting doesn’t do her justice. She sounds like Hillary or an x-wife.
Ditto that. And if you haven’t heard it, she was tough as nails in how she delivered it under duress, as there was a large number of union thugs on the periphery making noise, horns, cow bells, chants of “liar,” etc. throughout the whole speech. People think Trump is gutsy for raising the birther issue but he’s got nothin’ on her. Mama Grizzly indeed!
See #14. Raising her voice was probably necessary under the adverse conditions.
Yes indeed. The union goons were out in full force, trying to drown her out. She had to shout. (you can hear them in the vids.)
Perino said she gave a good speech and she’s gonna run. Surprised me. It was a great speech, I watched in live on the web and then again later. It was amazing to wade into the middle of the rent a mob and lay it all down.
The other side says she sounds like an ex-wife. In my observation, they should have stuck with wife#1 and they wouldn't have turned out so bad.
excellent point
