“If Palin Had Become President”
House of Eratosthenes ^ | June 15, 2013

Posted on 06/16/2013 6:26:05 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

•Palin would not have dismissed the Black Panther intimidation lawsuit that the government had already won.
•Palin would not have seized two auto companies and give them to her cronies in and out of the UAW.
•Palin and her supporters would not be claiming that her opponents were racists for disagreeing with her policies.
•Palin would not have tried to block Boeing from building a factory in South Carolina as a gift to her union buddies in Washington state.
•Palin would not have toured the world apologizing for America.

If Palin Were President

•Palin’s Homeland Security Department would not have classified patriots as security threats.
•Palin would have expanded oil and gas exploration on federal lands instead of reducing it, make the US even less dependent on foreign oil.
•Palin would not have allowed the Pigford suit to be settled that gives billions of dollars to “farmers” that never farmed.
•Palin would not have shipped thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels so that they could be found next to the bodies of murdered Mexicans and American agents.
•Palin would not have encouraged the IRS to harass Tea Party groups.
•Palin would not have encouraged the IRS to illegally reveal the names of contributors to conservative groups to Liberal organizations so that contributors could be harassed.
•Palin’s IRS would not ask groups seeking 501(c)4 status about their prayer life.
•Palin would not have passed a national health care bill that is a 2000 page “train wreck” and that threatens to destroy America’s health care system.
•Palin would have focused on reducing unemployment as it skyrocketed instead of wasting a trillion dollars on green boondoggles.
•Palin would have known that in today’s regulatory state there is not such thing as a “shovel ready jobs” program.
•Palin would not have spent a trillion dollars to prop up state and local government employees when private sector employees were losing millions of jobs.
•Palin would not have handed out “Palin phones” to welfare recipients.
•Palin would not have attacked Libya, without congressional approval, turning it into a rogue state.
•Palin would not have allowed her ambassador to Libya to be slaughtered, along with three US service members, and told would-be rescuers to stand down.
•Palin would not have blamed a demonstration that did not occur caused by a video that no one saw for the attack by terrorist in Benghazi.
•Palin’s UN ambassador would not have gone on national TV to lie about the terrorist attacks in Benghazi because she would not have broken Libya in the first place.
•Palin would not have been stupid enough – or naive enough – to support the Islamist take-over of the Egyptian government.
•Palin would have given encouragement to demonstrators in Iran when they went to the streets to protest a fraudulent election.
•Palin would not be giving the Islamist regime in Egypt billions of dollars to keep it in power.
•Palin would not have told Putin to wait till after she was re-elected because then she would have more flexibility.
•Palin’s appointed officials would not be lying to congress and the American people when they are not invoking the Fifth Amendment against incrimination.
•Palin would not be sending Secret Service agent to her critics’ homes demanding to do a search, go through his medical records, his computer, his cell phone and pretty much anything else, and then threaten to come back and confiscate his guns if he “stepped over the line.”
•Finally, Palin would have taken responsibility for the things that happened while she was President instead of telling us that she only read about it in this morning’s newspaper.

The toughest question that never got answered is, “Just what are these ‘extreme policies’ of Sarah Palin?” Her critics, be they Obama fans or be they something else, can’t field that one.

But more important than that, I see a lot of people are missing the point: Many potential presidents right about now, would not have done these things. Much of the problem is partisan, in that it is in the nature of democrats to obsess much about what’s being said when it’s all over, how loud each voice is, and who has the last word. It’s worked well for them, so why should they stop. But the real issue is this “transparency” thing. We can’t really have any with a democrat in charge. Implicit in all of these bullets is the unstated extra, “If President Palin ever made any movement in any of these directions, the media would light her up like a f**ng Christmas tree.”

But, Obama gets to do what Obama wants to do. For now…

‘When gas prices would spike during the Bush years, the liberals would scream about those events being Bush’s fault. How this hurts working families, yadda, yadda, yadda.

The price of gas has roughly doubled in the four plus years of the Obama era, and the liberals have not said one word about that fact.’

I vaguely remember something about that. We had all sorts of warnings about this evil demon.

They’ll need to exorcise the White House when they vacate.

'Alaska’s law left Palin personally responsible for (massive) and rapidly growing lawyer bills. Personally responsible, for a raft of politically motivated gotcha suits'

WELL PUT AND EXACTLY RIGHT C N N. THE cost of those lawsuits were bankrupting the PALIN FAMILY to the tune of a half a million dollars...AND hamstringing the governor's ability to properly run the office....IE the lawsuits would direct her office to provide all correspondence from for example 4/5/03 thru 5/5/05 and she had no choice but to gather this info up under law. These demands were many and constant. It got so bad her staff's time was almost completely tied up with the frivolous demands. It's all straightforwardly explained in her fabulous best seller 'GOING ROGUE' A great read Stormer the dormer there might have cracked open before shooting off his mouth....oh well they dwell amongst us..like the bible says about the poor ...the slow will always be with us... And it might well be noted the party did not provide it's own VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE with legal assistance or funds to fight the battles she was forced to wage to defend herself.....at least i have not heard of any such help proffered....and Sarah never mentioned any in her book....so there must have been none or this honest woman would have told us about it. Anyway she's a stunning example of what is finest in the American culture and I for one am proud to live in the same country with people of her ilk!

WASILLA ALASKA'S SARAH LOUISE.... A PLACE WHERE BEAUTY MEETS BRAINS MEETS BRAVERY MEETS HONESTY MEETS FAITH AND ABILITY.... !

Finally I read a cogent post on this threqad. It is all well to praise Sarah for her leadership in Alaska, and even her stepping down was aimed at benefiting her state since the democrips had set out to waste her time in office trying to deal with the myriad of false suits brought by democrips and criminal republicants up there. The real difference between Sarah and it would appear all the others in both parties is that Sarah would spend time doing what Washington, Adams, Monroe, Madison, etc. did regularly ... seeking the counsel of The Lord so they could do right things.

The godless soul of the twisted old treacherous devil named McCain stands as a sharp contrast to the open to the Lord soul of Sarah Palin. America needs God's blessing through His hand guiding our leadership. Nearly all of the current crop of scum euphemistically called 'politicians' are as dead in soul as a rock in my yard.

IF We The People ever come to realize that it is not a genius IQ which we need for leadership, or a slick drug-addled half-black man, but instead a heart that is open to God's guidance in crucial matters, then we will have a chance at being redeemed from the devils of the current regime and its enablers. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that to dawn on the American psyche though ...

She is Christian.

She is beautiful.

She is happily married to a strong man and has a beautiful family.

She is staunchly pro-life.

She does not have a snobbish education.

She is a true conservative.

There are numerous reasons why the feminists hate her, but I think these are the main ones.

Liberals hold that as a positive thing. The higher fuel cost causes fewer drivers polluting the air with combustion byproducts. It has the added plus for them of sticking it to those that work and own vehicles.

That’s because liberalism is a mental disorder.

Palin isn’t anti-Free-America...unlike the pretender, nobama.

I’m certainly no Romney fan, but it would be better than Obama.

at least it’s a better reason for unproductivity than say, EPA regulation

This is moot, since Palin did not run for president.
