All I need to know about Sarah Palin
Lipstick 2012--Diary of an Election Cycle ^ | July 2009 | Jeanette Pryor

Posted on 08/27/2011 8:11:09 PM PDT by Mach9

On July 3rd, 2009, Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska, figuratively nailing the following sign to her door: “Men Wanted For Hazardous Journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.”

This most famous newspaper advertisement ever penned placed its original author, Sir Ernest Shackleton, in the position of selecting his Antarctic expeditionary crew from among 5,000 applicants. Comparing Sarah Palin to Shackleton might appear to stretch the limits of metaphorical license, even for an Irishwoman given to hyperbole. I contend that it pales when compared to giving a Marxist revolutionary with two weeks of Presidential experience the Peace Prize offered to Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sarah Palin will be the next President of the United States, and the secret to her success is a characteristic she shares with all true leaders, tenacity.

Nor is FR for those who lack the ability to think. Parrots belong in the pet store.

How fitting. A parrot/non-thinker held in captivity in a cage, fed and cared for by it's owners.

"The job our next president will face is not for the faint of heart and the future of the nation will be in the balance. It is not a job for a quitter."

I believe the naysayers about Sarah Palin are simply trolls with their bag of talking points that have been passed from one blog to the next by many with little mind to intellectually explore what is being said. As Ann Coulter said in her book Demonic, they operate in packs like sub humans in a lower state of mind. Don't let the toilet bowl swirl you down with those talking points.

Starting one second after she “quit” she embarked on a path that is probably going to lead to her becoming the next President of the United States. Call that “quitting” if it makes you feel better.

We need to support the person who has proven conservative credentials. We need to support the person who demonstrates their consistent conservative credentials by their actions as an executive. We need a proven fighter who is unafraid to fight the establishment.

That person is Sarah Palin. She has my support.

Two questions: What's Sarah Palin's position on illegal immigration? Does she support that border-fence idea?

Thanks in advance for any answers, and especial thanks for any links to (or citations of) her words on the subjects.

In 2009, when the dems won everything and the repub leadership was playing invisible, I am glad Sarah left her position as Governor of Alaska. She became a one woman opposition, and rallied the base. Who else was brave enough to make the point of the death-panels.

"All plenty true.

So, you go along with this crap:

"The job our next president will face is not for the faint of heart and the future of the nation will be in the balance. It is not a job for a quitter."

That tells me that you accept lots of mindless pap on the net without turning on your critical thinking functions. If you stick around at the Free Republic, you might learn something.

I want to be able to support a winner. Palin, God bless her, has not positioned herself as someone who can win the presidency. She quit her job as governor and became the caricature of herself, staring on reality television and catching Greta’s softball questions on Fox News.

Palin has further shown herself to be a fool with this on again, off again bus tour. She starts and quits when convenient, sucking the O2 out of those who are really running campaigns.

I wish Palin well, but not the White House.

You dare to denigrate the most selfless act of personal sacrifice in the pantheon of American politics, by the greatest natural-born leader this generation will ever know? Projectile vomitus. Human puke. Shame is your enduring legacy, shame and disgrace upon you and your house.

Christ said, "No greater love hath any man but that he lay down his life for his friends." Palin laid down her position at the pinnacle of political power in her State for the good of her constituents, and you mock it with the casual disregard of a village idiot.

Sarah Palin has more courage in her little finger than you would know in a thousand of your pathetic excuses for a life. What filth. I need a shower. "Soul of scum."

"...staring on reality television..."

Idiot.

I don't agree.

The more people see of Perry the less they will like.

His caricature will be GWB 2 and they are salivating over this.

The lefts false media created perception of Sarah will be revealed with more exposure, and the people will see the true strength of her character.

How did quitting her governorship somehow morph into Profiles in Tenacity? It’s like saying what really impresses you about Barack Obama is his frugality.
