At a reception and dinner attended by fifty conservative movers and shakers, Sarah Palin implicitly compared herself to President Ronald Reagan. At the same time she suggested that she is mulling a Presidential run in 2012.
According to Politico:
"Speaking to a group of well-connected Republicans at a private dinner in Florida this week, Sarah Palin implicitly addressed questions about her own electability by noting that critics also said Ronald Reagan couldn't win in 1980, three attendees told POLITICO.
"Palin, at an event organized by the conservative magazine Newsmax, told the right-wing crowd that those who don't have the same convictions will always say a true conservative can't win.
"Pointing out that the knock on Reagan was that he was also too far to the right, the former Alaska governor repeatedly invoked the 40th president and conservative icon, at one point citing the quotation he was most fond of: that America is a "shining city on a hill."
"'I think she sees herself as heir to Reagan,' said one attendee."
While just about every Republican politician invokes Ronald Reagan, just as Democrats like to invoke John Kennedy or Franklin Roosevelt, Sarah Palin's implicit suggestion that she is the heir or even the second coming of Ronald Reagan would seem somewhat presumptuous, at least at first glance.
There are some parallels. Like Reagan, Palin was a state governor. Like Reagan, a large percentage of the liberal intelligentsia has labeled her, mistakenly, as somewhat dim. Like Reagan, she is beloved by many, hated by many more. Like Reagan, Palin is something of a media star.
There are differences, of course...

Liberals Want Sarah Palin to Be 2012 GOP Nominee, Survey Says
However, due to the high volume received, at this time, a personal reply is simply impossible.
Careful, hate instigator and anti-freeper Evening Star wishes death on those that expose him.
And he is so proud of it that he links it when it is mentioned.
onyx, the only crazy people posting at this board on the Palin issue are the pro-Palin extremists.
After years of your harassment and half-truths, I lost my temper and thereby played right into your hands. I’m not proud of that in the least.
No thanks. I'm not into playing your stupid games.
Then again, only educated, reasonably intelligent people are aware of the subtleties of the proper use of basic English, and most Palin haters fall way outside that descriptor. Bone brain.
(_8(|) "OOooh, donuts...!"
Actually, you're a fly pinned to my corkboard, and I'm pulling your wings off with that statement. Next, I'm going to feed what's left of you to my skink. Then you'll be a "good Palin hater." Say, did you see where I left my oscillating phextuillanometer?
That'll be all for now, soldier, STAND EASY! As you were.

I think this includes your “The One”.
Yup. She's just our side's version of Obama.
There were/are no half truths or lies from me and just spin, death wishes and false accusations from you. And you know it
Wow! Here's something else we agree on!
IMHO, Palin is the Obama of the right. She's great at making content-free speaches that, for some inexplicable reason, are able to get lots of people fired up about her, but when it comes to actual executive experience or political achievement, she's little more than an empty suit.
It saddens me to see how so many people on the right have forgotten that personality cults aren't conservative.
Of course they do. That's because they think she'll lose. The same people who wanted O'Bumsuck because they thought he'd be great. These slunk are imbeciles, if they were not, they wouldn't be liberals.
So their endorsement of Palin for the GOP nominee is the best news Palin supporters could get. At least the libsnots won't be fighting against our next president any more, only the violently homosexual mentally impaired RINO assh*les will be doing that.
Thanks for the great news!

It’s sad to see that you’ve become like this, onyx. :(
Stalk you? You’ve initiated all the recent exchanges between us. I’ve only replied.
I haven’t changed. Think about it.
You are a good mind reader too on top of being a prophet predicting the Second coming (in female form.)
Let me try to play: “Oh Sarah, please bless me, please heal me. I know you really are ‘The One’. I ignore their insults and ridicule mistress because I know they only make fun of what I write because they really hate you. I knew it couldnt be me.”
On a long thread right here over and over again.
And then you and her and several other banned anti-freepers (cyncooper, Fairbanks, daughtrOfWhatever etc) went to "lets shut down Free Republic" sites and continued the lies there to the point that people there threatened my life.
You had a great time putting down FR members and agreed with the others there about how horrible and slanted FR is.
Of course you all thought you were going shut down this site, but it didn't work and you slithered back here.
So are you finally admitting that I didn't stalk your mentor HLL (or is it ok if she falsely accuses me of that) and you are going to apologize?
Or do we use the same criteria and you are a stalker too?
Oh BTW I NEVER harassed you, just called you and your banned anti-freeper friends out on your antics to destroy FR.
Harassment is you and them here and at anti-fr sites lying about me (lol even to the mods as illustrated by admissions at the cp site) to the point that all of them were banned...except you.
