One good thing about President Obamas re-election: It seems to have prompted some sober thinking by Republican Party leaders and allies. Oh sure, theres been some loose talk of secession, but mostly what youve found is top GOP leaders trying to figure out how to broaden the GOPs appeal and shed its reputation for anti-intellectualism while staying true to their conservative values. This is a good thing.
One sure way for Republicans to blow it: If Sarah Palin runs for president.
You mightve thought Palins political career pretty much ended when she decided not to run for president against a week GOP primary field in 2012. Her supporters were certainly eager to see her run, and the other candidates were clearly terrified that shed jump in. But she stayed out, made frequent appearances on Fox News, and that seemed that.
Until Sunday, that is, when conservative writer Charlotte Allen took to the pages of the Los Angeles Times and urged Palin to run in 2016.
Why? Well, because unlike boring old Mitt Romney, apparently, Sarah Palin wont try to appeal to voters on the basis of issues. Shes a good old-fashioned demagogue. Shell appeal to their hearts, and their penises...

95% with you, except I think we go into a more “Running Man”, television, media hyped society than Mad Maxx...They need propaganda to continue to feed their greed.
In total seriousness, I believe Road Warrior. The problem with RM is that there will be no ‘society’ to entertain. Nor the infrastructure to do it with.
Who goes to work doing anything but working to find food, security and sustained shelter?
Ergo, Road Warrior. Been saying it on FR for a long time and I truly believe it with every fiber of my being.
You sound like me. I'm looking to upgrade my piss-poor arsenal, too...
You think too small Windy. I’m looking for that kid the feds nailed for building a functional nuke reactor in his garage a couple years back ;)
Exactly, just another illiterate pretending to know what is best for us “week” conservatives. Haha.

There ya go. Much better. Yell it from the rooftop.
I’m all for the South rising again too Cowboy, but it won’t happen peacefully. Frankly, I don’t see peace for anybody in the world until the Lord comes and puts a stop to this mess. Pray you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving.
are those crawdads?
Like I said, peace won’t happen, so I’m prepared to fight CW2.
winning hand
LOL. I’m coming to hang out with you.
Well folks, the “silly season” is underway and the GOP bigwigs and 2016 hopefuls are trashing the Tea Party and pandering big time.
...and they wonder why we stay home?
Well, alright. Will this do?
;)
Though I’m a redhead fan, I can think of worse ways to spend the Apocalypse ;)
Palin is twice as smart as the turd currently in the White House. Unfortunately, Barry’s state controlled commie “media” has a war against conservative women going on. They prefer liberal condom munchers.
LOL!
Sarah has that effect on patriots!
