As you probably know, I supported Governor Sarah Palin's running for the GOP nomination and had vowed to raise $2 million dollars for that campaign. I have posted hundreds, if not thousands of "Palin" threads since she came on the scene in 2008. Having said that, it's not just about Gov. Palin. This is a fight for control of our country and culture. On one side is the liberal fascism of Barack Obama, the left and the Democrats. On the other is the shrinking part of society we call conservatives. In the middle are the many millions who go with the flow. Those individuals are who put Barack Obama in the White House, Harry Reid in the majority leader's office and thousands of left-wing officials at the school board, county supervisor, city council and statehouse levels.
Those places are where the real fight is. If we cannot recapture the local and state offices, it won't matter who we elect president (assuming we can beat him) because the left will still control the purse strings and power from dog catcher to the US Senate. So our first goal is to take back the Republican Party, so that we control who is nominated for those thousands of positions and we are able to support the conservative candidates in their campaigns. How many here are precinct chairmen, committemen and etc. within the GOP? Who here has worked on a local or state campaign? Sure, it'd be great to have a true conservative in the White House, but without conservatives up-and-down the line, there won't be much that that person can do to turn the ship of state around.
I believe she will help with getting our party back.
Penetrating, insightful analysis never before seen here on FR. Worthy of its own thread.
We need more Tea Partiers at every level of government as a hedge against a President Romney or Perry.
She showed us the way it's done. Start at the local level. Run for President of your PTA, City Council, County Supervisor, etc., and go from there.
Any reason why you couldn’t be a bundler for Cain?
I’ll contribute what I can.
Who do you think Palin will endorse for President?
Supporting congressional tea party candidates is exactly what Palin said she will do. If you can’t be the general, then you flank the enemy from behind.
Palin has become good friends with Perry. That would be my guess. Maybe she can get him to rethink that whole illegal nonsense.
Palin was 1st, Cain was my 2nd. He just moved to the top slot.
And I cannot believe the attitude of ‘some” Freepers that they will just give up the GOP bearer because the “elites” want to. This was the same ‘I’ll pray for America’ attitude i saw right after Hussein won/cheated in 08.
Cain, or possibly Perry. I just don’t see her endorsing Romney and the rest are dwarves.
Rather suspect she will not endorse till it becomes clear who is going to win the nomination. At that point she will support the likely/eventual nominee no matter who it is.
The "establishment" doesn't like the fact that conservatives have a voice in the Tea Party and with Sarah. Too bad.
Yeah, don’t think so as she rightfully took him to the woodshed for cronyism.
Palin will likely not endorse anyone until a winner is chosen. And then, she endorse whoever wins, even Romney (as she stated in Iowa since she believes ABO).
Yes, 2DV, I have some comments.
1) You are 100% right.
2) I am on board.
I just (sobbing uncontrollably)pealed the “SARAH 2012” stickers from my boat motor and my car. Oh well, she still has more spunk in her little finger than any one of the GOP front runners. Since I am not a Republican, they are going to have really sell me for my vote. I absolutely will not vote for Romney and would have to puke and pull to vote for Perry.
