Finally seeing the light is a life changing event for life-long Democrats. They can’t believe how evil the media is, they sense their own infallibility, they will lose many life-long friends whom they try to enlighten...and they won’t care because the truth does, indeed, set you free.
Thank you for posting. It was the same for me. Lifelong democrat, Hillary supporter. I was also acitve duty military at the time. I didn’t feel the Republican Party spoke for me. Then I saw what Democrats did to Hillary. When Sarah Palin walked on that stage, I had tears streaming down my face as well. When I researched about Down children and realized how many were aborted, I was shocked. Then Sarah said, “Who am I to question God’s idea of perfection?” I changed parties right then and there and have never gone back. Establishment Republicans are making a mistake. She needs to speak. She speaks for all those women (and men) who felt they never had a voice. She speaks for the every day man and woman who went to different schools trying to find themselves and pay their way. She speaks for Moms, Military, and true, blue Americans!!
I had a gut feeling that Palin would be snubbed at the convention. This talk from the RNC chairman is just tripe.
They simply don’t want her to have that platform. Her speech at CPAC 2012 showed how much she can connect.

Right now, RNC inc (trademark pending) is running the show. They know how much we dislike Obama and that we have no place to go. They rigged the game, they have the money, and the own the machine. Heck, they just voted down closing their primaries to only GOP voters.
This is beyond Palin. If you want a conservative in the future it will have to be a “long march”. You’ll have to do lots and lots of “small ball” stuff. Lots of blocking and tackling.
We’ve taken a few steps, got a few victories and a few defeats.
March on folks.
Chairman Reince Priebus said on Mark Levin last night that she was invited to speak in prime time but said she declined citing other commitments. It would be great to hear the other side of that story.
At this stage of the game, I just don’t trust the establishment in what they say.
Even Levin wasn’t buying it.
Someday, we might know the other side.
After what Romney and Rove have been doing to Sarah for the last 4 years I can understand why she would not want to speak to America in behalf of Romney.
Chairman Reince Priebus said on Mark Levin last night that she was invited to speak in prime time...”
There was an awful lot of hemmin’ and hawin’ when Priebus spoke. It was his opportunity to tell the truth, something that all people who are part of the Republican political scene have trouble doing, particularly where Palin is concerned. Her mere absence from the podium speaks volumes and increases the gulf between the RINOS who wish to remake the party and many of the rest of us. Perhaps this is another example of what she was alluding to when she spoke of “taking one for the team” last night on Greta.
The Romney/Ryan ticket will have my vote because I want Obama and his crew out of the White House but they will not have my support or my money.
You are a troll. This is your ONLY post here, EVER! I never got any communication from Sarah Palin asking to be nominated.
She chose not to enter the primary. My state voted for Mitt Romney in the Presidential Preference Primary and that is who I will be voting for in accordance with being true to the great state of Arizona.
He wasn’t my first choice, but as of now he is the ONLY choice, and your goal, troll, is to disrupt the convention and re-elect the communist.
Please go away.
I will never vote for Romney, Ryan is a paid puppet. The GOPe should meet the same fate as the Deamoncrats when the whole thing falls in.
All that has to happen is for all to stick with Palin out in the local, state legislature races and federal congressional races for a few more election cycles until-most importantly- the state legislatures- and then DC has been completely TeaPartied.
She’ll walk into the WH at that point. Won’t spend a dime doing it.
What? Huh?
“, Ryan is a paid puppet. The GOPe should meet the same fate as the Deamoncrats when the whole thing falls in.”
Here Will let me help.

Lifelong Dem here til 2008. Watching that debate, I saw what an idiot Gore was and what a real person GWB was. It didn’t even matter if I agreed with everything, but I wanted someone who knew what he thought and had passion about it. Then when Sarah hit the scene, I was absolutely blown away. Isn’t she wonderful?
Life After Being a Democrat is the best.

I’ve seen her speak a few times — in L.A. Both times, I was shocked by the turnout. Who knew all these conservatives were hiding in this sea of socialism and illegals? She is the real deal. I wish she were speaking at the convention.
Get over yourself. I'm from Wisconsin and this man is one of the most intelligent, articulate conservatives around. He has won 7 times in a very democratic district. 2008 - Obama won in his district (took WI also) by 14 points, and dear sir, Paul Ryan WON HIS district with 63% of the vote.
Now you can take THAT to the bank. He garners votes from Dems. Don't doubt him. He is sincere and NO one’s puppet.
