Governor Sarah Palin has done MUCH more for the conservative cause and this country as a whole, even WITHOUT a title and in far less time.
1) Palin, not Scott Brown, is most responsible for the reason why healthcare reform is in jeopardy. (Remember "Death Panels?") --> Mitt Romney instituted socialized medicine in his state!
2) Palin publicly challenged the science of global warming before it became "cool" to do so. --> Newt Gingrich and Tim Pawlenty are "greenies," though they are probably flip flopping on this now.
4) Palin has been a vocal advocate for the unborn far more than any other Republican, before and after she rose to national prominence. She doesn't just "talk" during speeches or "vote" whenever a bill comes up. Palin walks the walk. Her social values put her in the good graces of most Americans, INCLUDING minority and immigrant Americans as well.
4) Palin endorsed underdog Doug Hoffman in NY-23 and allied herself with the Tea Party movement, regardless of the "establishment fallout" that she'd be met with. --> Were John Thune or Mike Pence as bold and aggressive in their willingness to challenge the GOP establishment, before it became cool? No, they all seemed quite "muted" until Palin blazed the trail first. Or maybe it's because, they're PART of the establishment.
Palin has shown time and time again, she's about the people--not about career politics and saving her political skin.
5) Palin has incredibly media savvy, and this will serve her well should she ever become President. She will not let the media control and manipulate her agenda, but will instead communicate directly to the people.
6) Palin's support for our men and women in uniform is not phony -- but genuine and close to her heart. Her own son is honorably serving in the military. HARDLY (if ANY) of our representatives in Congress have any children who serve! Not only that, I trust Palin to take a bullet for a fellow American before any of the other "men" in our government would. Any day.
7) Palin takes on her own worst enemies without losing her integrity or class. She's even willing to challenge the greater culture at large. Even Hollywood feels threatened by her.
8) Palin is unabashed about her faith in Jesus Christ and her Biblical worldview.
9) PALIN has the boldness to directly call out Obama for his lies AND his cronies (like Rahm) for their incompetence and classlessness. NO OTHER REPUBLICAN has been as blunt, up front, and truthful as she has regarding the nature of Obama and his agenda!
10) I'm leaving out many other examples.
Point blank, Governor Palin has proven her leadership, while the others in the running have had MORE time and actual power to do so, but have little to show for it.
Also she is the only canidate that made a living working with her hands by helping Todd with the fishing business. Us hard blue collar 12hr a day workers love her.
Sarah in 2012, Piper in 2036!!!
