This week the NY Times finally noticed that Gov. Sarah Palin is not a typical Republican. They seemed shocked to discover that she stands in sharp opposition to the abusive alliance between Big Business and Big Government practiced by so many Republicans for decades.
So is it any wonder that typical Republicans arent on board with her?
As case in point, former vice president Dick Cheney was on the Laura Ingraham show discussing the requirements he felt were necessary in being a vice president, at which Laura brought Palin onto the table. Cheney replied that unanswered questions remain about Palin, especially in regard to her resignation from the governorship.

Yes, he has and we should appreciate Cheney for his dedication to his career. But, he and other "good conservatives" have been trapped inside a system that has done great harm to our country. Even is they aren't corrupt themselves, corruption has been a part of everyday life inside government. Cheney and others have tried to finesse around the corruption as best they could, imo. However, unless we remove the roots of corruption, it'll go on unabated. Palin understands that, so do we who support her.
You missed the meme, not the memo. There is no memo, only the knee jerk commentary of the corrupt establishment.
You know she is! But don't be expecting a memo for the official announcement, it'll be an earthquake under the feet of the establishment elites. :)
The commercial they never want to see:
Hi Hawkeye Stater”s I am Sarah Palin:
If I could have 50 seconds of your time: I will be traveling into every nook and cranky of your beautiful state.
I would appreciate your support or just having conservations outlining my vision for this great country.
An Doggone It!! if you do not agree with my vision are we better for the chat?
You Betcha!! See You Soon and Look Forward To It. Thanks For Your Time
Sarah Palin coming soon to your neighborhood.
Yes I admit it I know she is running.
Well, to paraphrase Nick Lowe, from the establishment elite, it's not "Cool to be Kind" to Sarah Palin. Give them time. I believe she has the support from the regular folks to get her the nomination. The GOP establishment will,for the most part, follow our lead after that. Begrudgingly, perhaps.
Very good point. A systems man like Cheney, despite his good qualities, can't figure out what's entailed by really challenge the status quo. They're used to using Sarah's words as ad slogans, as "product" differentiation to make Republicans more electable. Sarah Palin bears the scars from really threatening the crony-capitalist system, and people like Cheney can't quite figure it out.
As she mentioned in her speech, Abraham Lincoln was thought a fool. The people who said he was, the insiders of his time, didn't say it because they had it in for him. They meant it. In Canada, there's an old slogan - one that might as well be the slogan of the permanent political class: "Loose cannons fall off the deck." Systems people take that to heart, so they're bound - condemned - to see real challenges of the status quo as fools' errands. As beating your head against a brick wall.
That's why people like Cheny can't figure her out. They know she's a very good politician: she went all the way up from Wasilla to the governorship of Alaska and the Vice-Presidential nomination. Their common sense tells them, "a quixotic figure would never have gotten that far." She's in the winner's circle, so they likely have gotten her Tea Party leadership pegged as her latest schtick.
Thus, his bafflement at why she resigned. Not only is it not something a successful politican does, but also it shows her as a real reformer - which the insiders associate with tilting at windmills. How could a political star like Sarah Palin be so "foolish" as to cut into vested interests to the point where they sic the attack dogs on her as a person?
But...I have a sneaky suspicion that Cheney's playing a disinformation game. He could be pretending to know nothing about it, so as to give her supporters an opening to explain why. Structuring it to give the impression that anyone who thinks she's a "quitter" is merely ignorant, and in need of the truth. If he's up to that, he's effectively pro-Palin.
Sarah dosen’t look anything like my father either thank God. ;>)
The GOP establishment will,for the most part, follow our lead after that. Begrudgingly, perhaps.
....begrudgingly??? the establishment NWO Bushie GOP would rather have Zerobama than Palin. Much better for their control and corruption...
ymmv
It's nice to think so, but plenty of ordinary citizens also have trouble grasping the concept.
That's true, which explains why changing the culture of corruption will not be easy. Those of us that do grasp the concept will need to be relentless and uncompromising in our quest.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
She is anything but the dimwit her enemies have made her out to be, and probably intuits the ailment of America better than anyone on our side.
Run Sarah, run.
It really is hard to put Palin into a category. If anything, her party could be named the We, The People Party.
I’m looking forward to seeing The Undefeated. My brother and I watched Media Malpractice on NetFlix yesterday. I’d recommend people watch that one, too, just to remind themselves how the media worked to defeat McCain by trying to destroy Palin. Caution though, it will make you really angry watching it.
Yeah, The Undefeated made me more than a little angry. It really gave me a lot to think about concerning how I let my own perception of Palin be shaped by the attacks on her. I’m ashamed.
I’ve been onto the media’s bias for a long time now. I can’t even watch a commercial on TV or a sitcom without noticing the bias. I’ve been a supporter ever since I first heard her speak after McCain chose her as his veep. The media’s attacks on her have done nothing to me except steel my resolve to help her become president. We need to beat the media on this one. We can’t let them win because if they do, we won’t be able get decent people to run for office ever again.
Happy to know you are on our side!
