Why Sarah Palin scares them
Daily Caller ^ | Friday May 13, 2011 | Jedediah Bila

Posted on 05/13/2011 3:40:28 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Some media commentary on Sarah Palin continues to amuse me quite a bit.

There are those who love to talk about how irrelevant she is — usually in the midst of a lengthy blog post or column that obsesses about something Palin recently said or tweeted.

There are those who continue to distort her record, despite the surplus her policies afforded Alaska and a list of accomplishments that includes substantial spending reductions, incentivizing and expanding drilling for oil and natural gas, investing in state savings, and a commitment to transparency, ethics reform, and tackling corruption.

And there are an array of “tell-all” books soon to come out that will attempt to discredit both her character and her record. They will try their hardest to reinforce pre-existing media-fed hype about who Palin is, what kind of a leader she was as governor, and what kind of a leader she could be for America. Some of the authors are ideologically driven. Others are driven by the hope that having the words “Sarah Palin” in their books’ titles will put money in their pockets.

I also saw a glimpse of the woman who terrifies some when I met her in person at the Long Island Association’s February 2011 Annual Meeting and Luncheon. There’s absolutely nothing about her — from the way she greets you to the tone of her exchanges — that fits into the mold of “conventional politician.” I suppose that must be terribly frustrating to those who struggle so hard to stand out, but don’t … because when it comes down to it, they’re not all that different from the rest.

A gorgeous and capable woman for president and a handsome and likeable Todd for First Dude.

Sounds like a winner!

Only if she dared try to pass it off as her own phrase. If she channeled St. John and reminded the populace that we need to return to the days of individual responsibility and the days of reaching for the heavens rather than holding our hands out for gubmint crumbs, she’d be drawing an unmistakable distinction between herself and Zero and would crush his socialist ass. I believe she’d be able to incorporate that theme into a speech far better than I could ever do in this forum (or any other).

Sit back on your heels and wait, Sarah. Let them all come out and flail about. I am for YOU and always will be. And I will wait if need be. All the rest pale in comparison.

......a commitment to transparency, ethics reform, and tackling corruption. This is what scares both dems and repubs alike about sarah

"K Street" doesn't get us, the Tea Parties, and by extension us ( FR ) and Sarah and that we want them out of our lives, they are all pigs at the trough.

I have been posing the question here a long time, in terms of throwing the bums out will the Tea Parties try to throw "K Street" bums out in 2012 ?

+1.

And to see the debates. I think anyone who underestimates her is going to see a thing or two. On Energy Policy she can talk for hours as an expert. She has an uncanny knack for a turn of a phrase - “palling around with terrorists”, “death-panels”, etc.
