Why should Sarah Palin run for the GOP nomination?
Obama is totally beatable by any Conservative because he is a true Marxist progressive ideologue and when it comes to Medicare and other entitlement programs the President is not being honest with the American people. He knows that Medicare is quickly becoming insolvent and will eventually destroy the American economy; his party’s answer is to attack those seeking solutions and to kick the can down the road. If the President continues to refuse to lead on this issue then he is in direct violation of his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution because the consequences of inaction on Medicare’s current unsustainable path will ultimately destroy the blessings of liberty to our posterity.
Americans must unite to reject this wealth redistribution and socialist experimentation enacted by the liberal progressives or it will mean the end of America. The stakes could never be higher and I think many people are starting to really understand it but they need more information. What Sarah Palin can do, better than most of the other candidates seeking the GOP nomination is, communicate a true fiscal Conservative policy, explain the Conservative ideology and readily discuss, in plain language, the truth about where the nation is headed if we fail to act.
The media won't ask the hard questions of the Obama administration and will never hold him accountable, I think they are so vested in him they have created the myth of him being too big to fail, they continue to ignore the facts of his failed policies and failed administration, this massive government debt has doubled on his watch, sure Bush screwed up by reckless spending and increasing the size of government and government programs because of his reactions to 911 and his attempts to appease liberal critics but that doesn't make it OK for Obama to double down on the spending like he did.
Obama's reckless disregard for the state of the nation when he took over needs to be pointed out to the people. Sarah Palin can be very good at pointing things like that out to the people and putting Obama on the spot to answer tough charges, as we have witnessed the Mama Grizzly won't pull any punches and she is not apologetic for her beliefs, she is truly a courageous Conservative voice.
The media will attempt to destroy Sarah Palin but that will be their mistake because in effect they will give her an enormous megaphone to reach the masses, she is a very talented politician and will be able to use that attention to her advantage, especially now as it will be her own campaign not the McCain train running the show. One hurdle for her will be the RINO GOP, and it must be made perfectly clear to the Republican establishment that their failed support of a true Conservative at this point in our history will ultimately result in a fracture of their base support.
It will be easy for Sarah to explain to the people that the liberals are a corrupt bunch, how they actually run their campaigns with promises to rob the public trust by bribing the majority of the electorate with social programs and "freebies" all of which are unsustainable and irresponsible and then they have the nerve to call it a "social compact" with their constituencies. Then with their champions in the media they run campaigns of fear against anyone that tries to fix or reform the programs.
Liberals always offer the same tired solution, make the rich pay, this class warfare rhetoric is a bunch of liberal lies because the rich don’t pay for tax increases, tax increases are always paid for by the middleclass. The business rich pass costs of government regulation and increased taxation down to the consumers of their products so the middle class always pays for those and the business or company if large enough simply up and outsource their production even move their entire business outside of the USA and that hurts employment and as an added bonus costs of their products may still increase. The Hollywood rich, Sports rich and the Independently wealthy pay expensive accountants and managers to hide their money so they can avoid taxation. When was the last time you heard a multi millionaire had paid extra money to the government in order to support all the social programs? Never, it would have been front page news even the vaunted Oprah writes off all that wonderful charity.
This taxation confusion and class warfare is how the Liberal Politicians have blind side the middleclass and poor for decades, they have them believing they are looking out for them with a class warfare type of meme, when in fact the middleclass and poor, are the very ones that ultimately pay for the expansion of government power and control in the name of the political careers of the Democrats in Washington.
The current debt is so far out of control that taxing the rich simply won't fix it anyway. All of our social programs and our tax system need total reform. When the country is in great fiscal shape it may very well be good politics, to ask that programs provide a bit more services but when the country gets itself into fiscal calamity like we have now it is highly irresponsible to continue down the path of ruin.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury (DEMOCRATS) with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years."
The next time a Democrat demagogues an issue that the fiscal Conservative is attempting to fix it is important for all Conservative to remind the electorate of what’s really at stake here, our country. Conservatives must unite and save America from the reckless liberals, it is impossible to try and change them because they are so wedded to the idea of equality through social programs and it would take real political courage and guts on their part, to stand up and tell their constituents that we can no longer "Ask what our country can do for us, we must ask what we can do for our country".
Right now the best that Conservatives can do is unite and try to educate the public to the coming danger and the last best hope of that resides in this great lady from Wasilla Alaska. That is why Sarah Palin should run for President.
The “elderly” who are, statistically, the wealthiest people in the country will vote against anyone who dares to change their beloved socialist security and mediquack programs. The baby boomers will do likewise as they are currently getting ready to descend upon the treasury to get theirs.
I just don’t feel most Americans want the economy dead for four more years, or want gas at $6 a gallon, or want their kids to be crippled by debt. If I’m wrong, I really see nothing but bloody chaos in America’s future. Sarah would be good. Hell, a barrel would be good. Just not Barry. Hell, I’d rather have Bill Clinton. There, I said it. I think it’s THAT bad.
1. She will rally the base that has really been dormant for many years like no other
2. (THE KEY) She will run against the Republican Party...ie (Establishment) NO major candidate since Reagan has really ran against the establishment and that will endure her to many conservatives and even independents that don’t like what the Republican Party has become over the past 20 years
Including Rand Paul ? He’s been on FIRE for the past few days over the GOP abandoning his thoughts on the Patriot Act.
I’m afraid you’re correct here. Baby Boomers feel absolutely betrayed - I have little to nothing in the fund (I’m 34 and have no SS benefits) so I can easily say “Away with them!”. But to someone who has watched money be removed from their paychecks for decades wouldn’t, nor should they, allow the benefit to be compromised.
Lots of people are going to lose. Sorry. It was a bad investment to begin with.
Um, you didn’t actually explain why Sarah Palin will be president.
Make a liberal’s head explode. Vote Sarah.

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
You mean...
Nonsense. Just any conservative can not beat Obama. It is not good enough to be right on the issues, our candidate needs to be able to persuade people, demonstrate a solid understanding of the issues, earn Americans trust, be able to reach independent voters, convince them that the welfare state can not go on as it is, etc.
Now I agree with you about Palin. I believe she could beat Obama. I think she could unite Republicans, movement conservatives, Tea Party folks, those disaffected with the establishment, etc - but it will NOT be easy. I am all for Palin. I really hope she gets in. The day she does I will be lining up to find out how to help.
Saying that, defeating Obama will be especially tough because not only do we have to defeat his ideas, we literally have to defeat the idea of Obama. And while the public may oppose much of Hussein's policy positions, they seem to generally like him personally and like the idea of him - first "black" President, young and hip, almost a celebrity superstar. Do not underestimate how hard is going to be to kick Hussein out of the White House. We can do it, but it is going to be incredibly, incredibly difficult. Just any conservative will not get the job done.
Obama will lose to a candidate who makes this race about him and his socialist agenda. Obama will beat any candidate who is too cowardly to make the fight personal for fear of being called a racist.
If she does, I hope she signs an executive order outlawing inane vanity posts.
Yeah, people can't make the distinction between their own opinions and the opinions of the hundreds of millions of OTHER people in the electorate. They just assume they'll all see how brilliant their own opinions are and adopt them.
The big issue is how you get all the independents and swing Democrats to un-completely-and-totally-hate-with-utter-contempt Sarah Palin.
I know quite a few of the above that voted George W. Bush twice, and even a few that went McCain, but that go out of their way (without prompting) to mention how much they hate Sarah Palin.
The basic problem is that everyone's opinion of Palin is basically formed and set. It's hard to change those.
You’re absolutely correct. That makes it more infuriating for the person who has planned to take it back, but now can’t.
Tens of thousands, if not more - Lost.
Cheers!
