Michael Steele wants Sarah Palin to reorient" the party and grow it. Interesting
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
She’ll be the Democrat candidate? That will be the day.
Bob,
Can you name one Democrat in congress who votes for the "right things"?
Can you name one Democrat in congress who doesn't caucus with their liberal party leaders?
Then tell me which Democrats Sarah will campaign for?
I just love being right.
Answer the above three questions correctly if you "love being right?
I’ve been following the thread.
Thank you for your posts.
Steele has been very supportive of her — much more so than the so-called “conservatives” like Sanford... I would not be so quick to throw the baby out with the bathwater, it’s time for people to keep their powder dry for a change and keep the eye on the ball in order to stop O and his socialist agenda.
Your comment was not funny and in light of the other big dustup you should have known that.
Obviously Sarah isn't going to waste her time... She's pushing ideas not party affiliation... There are more independents looking for a party than conservatives in the RepubliCAIN party who want a new TRUE conservative organization.... Pro Life Democrats... and Democrat women who will follow Sarah... Let the GOP keep the Rino trash.
2 party system:
1 Democrat/Socialist
2 Bull Moose/Conservative... or whatever you want to call it
GOP/Rino gone the way of the Whigs...or if you prefer, the Dodo Bird
I never said she would be a Democrat.... put your glasses on.
I think her timing with her constituency is now, whereas it may not be later if she delays until 2016 or beyond. I believe she is at the peak of her political power at least until 2012. If she delays, her grassroot constituency may happen upon another leader of their chosing. Even the Tea Party movement is now in its political ascendancy, and will continue to grow at least until 2012.
I think Sarah Palin has the political prowess to write her book, re-orientate the Republican Party as the party's chair and win the election by 2012, and make ten to twenty million along the way. I think she is that formidable if she acts now.

I don’t know about Bob, but I can name two Democrats who come close to fitting the bill. They are the two Georgia House Democrats who voted against the TARP, both times, along with seven House Republicans.

Make that PALIN wants Steele ...
None...yet... There will be a new wave of candidates because this president has them seeing defeat with deficit spending and a near communist foreign policy.
Can you name one Democrat in congress who doesn't caucus with their liberal party leaders?
None yet.... see above
Then tell me which Democrats Sarah will campaign for?
See Above and...There are more PRO LIFE Democrats in the electorate who are having their eyes opened and their pockets emptied for the first time. ...Probably happened you at one time and me for sure... Jimmy Carter was the last RAT I ever voted for.
AND as I said... The independents and the true conservative ...soon to be former RepubliCRATS. That is a huge total constituancy that will also decimate the inept GOP and send it to the dust heap of history
You lost me there, for sure.

Palin is calling the shots, not Steele.
Yeah another president like Woodrow Wilson would be so cool. Not.
AMEN and DOUBLE AMEN Steele’s gotta’ go FIRST
Bob, your view of the reality of a three-party system is exceptionally naive. She will have no choice but to reform the GOP because a third-party run, I say again, WILL NOT WORK. If you have Sarah (3rd party), a Republican and the False Messiah in 2012, the False Messiah wins. You cannot run two opposition party candidates against him and expect to win. The GOP will not “go away” as you claim. You have also not addressed the immediate problems a new party would have with most of the “problem people” instantly migrating over from the GOP (if and when it were to disintegrate), so you’d end up with another GOP with the same problems. You have to work to CLEAN UP what you have. You just don’t get it, Bob.
Well, she can be. Steele is asking her to call the shots, I believe. I could be wrong, though. I’ve been wrong before in these situations. The only thing to do is wait and see. As Dylan says, “There ain’t no shortcuts when you’re dressed in drag.” Not that Sarah Palin is dressed in drag. But there ain’t no shortcuts when you are a politician in the public’s eye as much as Sarah Palin is and will become.

Bob doesn’t get it.
The Bull Moose was only a term to label Sarah Palin... you know the MOOSE HUNTER? IT WAS USED AS A Rhetorical vehicle ....It has nothing in common----> politically<----- with the name of a fly by night party from the DISTANT past
Read ALL the posts...jeeeese. Maybe this is why conservatives can't win a dog catcher campaign... public education.
Steele means that he sees his job evaporating if he doesn’t align with Palin pronto!
