Now, what on earth would cause you to think that way of Palin?

Governor Palin Retweets Article from Whitney Pitcher and PA4Palin That Notes How Rick Perry Almost Tripled Texas’ Total Debt
This re-tweet from Governor Palin should pretty much put an end to the outrageous rumors that she’ll endorse Rick Perry. The great article from Whitney and PA4Palin re-tweeted by the Governor directly contrasts Governor Palin’s stellar record on debt and liabilities with the futile records of Mitt “peacetime” Romney and Rick Perry. If Palin is endorsing Perry, why is she re-tweeting an article that slams his inability to control what Governor Palin has described as the “foundation of destruction?”
It’s also noteworthy that the article that Palin re-tweeted pretty much calls for her to run for the presidency.
True, and I have never seen honest people continue to try and call 32 months 24 months, but we do see some of these troll types try it.
They remind me of MSNBC anchors.
Give it up. You wasted a lot of space. It isn’t a mandate if you don’t have to do it. Writing a simple letter is not jumping through hoops.
And it wasn’t even a bad thing and will probably someday be a mandate.
"The nation" as represented in authentic votes mainly consisting of media-led zomies -- a minority in America -- plus a cocktail of manufactured, ginned, gerrymandered, and downfight fraudulent votes. You believe in a nation of idiots, yet that actual "nation" represents such a minority, if it didn't cheat to win, it would LOSE.
You will ask me, "How do you know they're a 'minority' in America?" and my answer will be: "Because they have to cheat to win." The more liberal the politician, the more probable it is that a sizeable number of his "supporters" is pretend -- Al Franken and Barney Frank, anyone?
"The nation" that became "delirious" about "the new fresh face" that was somehow (gee, wonder how he pulled it off?) "able to deflect the baggage that came with him"????
There was zero deflecting. Zilch. What there was was a lot of stuff, noise, and flutter within the news media with the general conclusion that "there was no 'there' there," though none had investigated it. The MSM blithely moved on as if everyone fell for the "no 'there' there" line. But in reading consumer comments at MSM sites like LA Times, Yahoo, ABC, etc., I saw that most of the consumers were disgusted at Obama, liberals, and the MSM -- in that order.
Now, Palin and the cause of LIMITED GOVERNMENT may or may not have the popular appeal so many of us FReepers think they will, but one thing IS for sure: if you're relying on the MSM and polls to gage what "the nation" does and doesn't love and hate in politics, you're going to get a seriously distorted take.
Here's the reality: Liberals have to cheat to win because if they didn't, they'd lose.
Liberals are the minority.
One of the things that appeals the most to me about a straight-ahead limited government conservative like Palin is that it represents "a nation" of right-thinking folks, and I believe right-thinking folks are the majority. One of the things most disturbing about candidates like Romney and, it could be, Perry (I was hoping you'd ease my mind on the "international health insurance" thing by explaining what Perry meant), is that it represents a nation of timid Americans afraid to advance the cause of limited government because "the nation" couldn't handle it.
Shhhhh! (haven't you done enough damage already?)
No, no, I was just here reading the evening paper when a cat flew through my window, and George next door stopped by to return my kitchen sink......wait.....(damn encryption program on the fritz again!!)
Ah...as I was saying, yes, have a nice day, and be of good cheer. I'm leaving now...
No, but one should know what's going on in the world before making the sort of declarative statements that you did, on a forum filled with some of the most well-informed people in the country.
Later.
I'm gonna hafta get out my trusty 'Rumor-Stop" spray, if this don't quit. ;-)
Was that second session extended? I wonder, because I know I got news about the legislature going into a third session (or some such).
Did we meet at any of the Committee hearings?
No, I'm in Dallas, and wasn't able to travel during the legislative sessions. A couple of groups that I'm connected to took busloads of folks down to the Capitol to testify, lobby, etc., but I wasn't able to go with them this time.
I did spend a lot of time calling legislators and emailing them, right around the time the session began.
Thanks for the inside scoop on what happened with the Sanctuary Cities bill. I've been so thoroughly disgusted with so many things about the last session, that I sort of tuned out when it was all over.
You are the one that should give it up. Every news article that was written calls it a mandate. As you can read there are not many on this board who agree with you on this.
Very good point, and very well stated.
A liberal friend visiting the house was disturbed to see Going Rogue in my bookshelf. She asked me why I liked Palin, and I gave a REALLY DUMB answer that I would redo if I could, but ... I haven't yet invented a time machine. I could only think to say, "Because I'm self-employed." (This person is a retired teacher married to a retired teacher; they have never braved a marketplace to make a living, and therefore have zero idea of how people like me are encumbered by government, government, govenment; we'd talked earlier about how an independent contractor or self-employed person had to charge nearly double the hourly rate to equal the cosmetic $-per-hour pay plus benefits of a public sector or corporate salaried job; I'm pretty sure it sailed over her head).
I wish I had said: "Because she'll reduce the size and scope of the Federal government."
From now on, that will be my answer to liberals who ask me why I like Palin.
See if you can find somebody who cares. I don’t.
Now, what on earth would cause you to think that way of Palin?
Wrong.
Obama is loathed by many if not most Americans. I think there's good chance he won't even be the nominee, and if I'm right, YOU will be repeating the same old "anybody but" maneuver that had just about everybody about this time in 2007 thinking "the issue is WHO is most likely to defeat Hillary" -- and the odds-on fave was Giuliani. We know how that worked out.
The issue is WHO is most likely to rally Americans to a movement to reduce the size and scope of the Federal government and enable prosperity. I believe that person is Palin.
Just one special session.
I'm one of "us"!
Thank you so much for posting the longer informative post. I had not previously seen it! I emailed it to myself for future reference.
You are doing a wonderful service informing all who share the Founding Fathers vision of what the United States was meant to be.
I will not vote Rino again. I used to think that the lesser of 2 evils would be the better choice, it seemed logical. Only recently I came to realize that one must vote based on principles, even if it means the nation gets worse before it gets better, or be destroyed and start again. If people are so dumbed-down, drugged up, (and the system so corrupted) that they can’t see who to vote for, then so be it. Just my opinion.
Anyway, I just wanted to say Thank You and offer appreciation for your postings.
RWL
... which is WHY we are facing total destruction with Obama.
For decades I voted JUST as you counsel above, and I finally figured out that things were getting worse because of it. I now accept part of the responsiblity for creating Obama; the difference between you and me is that you don't even recognize that your and my supposed "pragmatism" nourished the monster -- I DO.
We have to change course hard-right to a limited government tack, and the only way to change course is to see that statist liberal Republicans LOSE.
It's not about Obama -- it's about rallying behind a limited government alternative that Americans YEARN for.
lol
Fellow FReepers and lurkers, catfish1957 has been posting this lie one and off for a couple of years, now. He knows perfectly well that he is telling his fellow conservatives, Republicans, and FReepers a falsehood. He hopes like crazy that you won't have the curiosity or intelligence to read this right here, or that if you do, you won't read beyond the first 50 or so comments on the robust discussion forum that followed -- it wasn't until quite a few readers had posted that folks started to catch on to the whats and whys of the semantic propaganda play on the scary phrase "oil windfall profits tax" to describe what was, basically, a state-imposed usage fee (a tax, it's fair to say, though some would argue even that) based not on profits nor on windfalls, but on the going price of a barrell of oil. He also hopes that you won't further take the time to read this discussion. He hopes you aren't independent-minded and ornery enough to google the issue and then spend a few hours educating yourself and realizing that the folks who want to call this an "oil windfall profits tax" are lying, plain and simple, and they range from the MSM to Murkowski's folk.
catfish's hand is weak, and that's why he has to resort to misrepresentation and falsehoods in order to convince you not to support Palin.
False premise when you describe it as based on oil income revenues. It considers potential income, or would that be revenues? -- or would that be income revnues? -- as per the going price of oil.
The liberal MSM doesn't like Palin any more than you do, which is probably why MSM sources like Seattle Post refer to it as a "windfall profits tax" when it isn't on profits (though it is calculated to work via adjusting to the changing profit margin that is necessarily linked to the market price of oil) or on windfalls.
Fred Thompson also was a strong supporter of John McCain, and had been instrumental in passing McCain/Feingold. It was hard for a lot of people here at FR to overcome that history and support him.
I figure that if Rick Perry joins the race, then we’ll find out if Palin is going to support him directly or not. Until then, we’ll all have fun guessing what is going to happen next.
It does distract from the candidates who are already in the race — hopefully, we won’t go through an entire summer and end up in October pining for new entries into the race, like 2008. In my opinion, that’s how we ended up stuck with John McCain.
