Wise words, my friend. Wise words.
Re#36 Trust me, he gets grief at every turn. Not just from me but from his whole circle of friends. He has admitted his stupidity but we will hound him to the end of his life. For the children...

Huzzzah! The favorite yell of the Tea Party Patriots. Huzzah! Now, let’s root out the rest of these socialist sympathizers and put them on the right track...
“The intelligentsia (led by the “Katie” and “Charlie” media sorts) also think that the average American is waaaaaaaaay beneath them.”
Only the uneducated and unwashed watch their idiotic “opinion” shows.
The covenants in our neighborhood prevent campaign signs, but we can have flags. Prior to the election, I placed the Flag of Alaska over the garage. Since the election, I see no reason to take it down.
It is my way of saying, "Don't Blame Me, I told you to vote for Sarah!!"
>The only way they could win is through massive fraud.
I for one would NOT mind seeing ACORN workers, poll worker, city, county, and state clerks... anyone who conspires to undermine our election-process as a group, hang.
Let’s make Conspiracy to Commit Voter Fraud a Capital Punishment, with a MANDATORY execution-date of six months after conviction by Jury, barring a successful and completed appeal...
Should we amend it to the Constitution? (I, for one, would LOVE to see the Constitution “Of the People” bite back these traitorous politicians!)
Should we make it immune to Presidential Pardon?
I preferred Fred Thompson, but Sarah Palin is the future.
Ditto.
Why do you post crap like this here? These photos were taken by some slime ball photographer hiding in the bushes with a zoom lens.
The comparison with Reagan is forced. His communication skills, leadership skills, and appeal to “Reagan Democrats” added up to a very different kind of candidate.
To all the posters who think Palin doesn’t have a chance in 2012 you’d better do your homework. You might be surprised. In politics, three and a half years is an eternity. It’s true, she’s been marginalized somewhat and smeared by the mid-stream media but it’s the same liberal media who said Ronald Reagan was a simpleton and never had a shot or the intelligence for the presidency. Even a week or two before the 1980 Election the media still thought Carter would win, then you watch Cronkite and his network cronies on election night scratch their heads and wonder “how the hell did THIS happen?” It’s easy to count Palin out. But it takes courage to stand behind this brilliant but battered woman and make her re-emergence to the national stage a movement — a conservative movement — like we haven’t seen since the 1980s.
Re: “True but she won’t win a national presidential election”
It is amazing that even conservatives don’t seem to understand that there has been no such thing as “republican” since the 17th amendment took effect.
Republican and Democrat are terms use to avoid using descriptive labels for political philosophy. The battle is about whether there is such a thing as individual freedom as opposed to collectivism.
I suspect that if we hang our future on the selling a Vassar accent, Bella Abzug beauty and a Berkley brain, we aren’t gonna get er done!
Ronald Reagan was lampooned as a amiable dunce, Bonzo up past his bedtime, B grade actor, etc. No other president since the civil war has done as much long term good for the country. His reelection was the greatest landslide in the history of the US.
The antipathy of the press and the “trueblood” democrats was just as universal toward Reagan as it is toward Palin. If he had been running in 2008 instead of 1980 it would have been just as vicious.
Everyone who has had any experience with her says Palin is very smart and a quick study. She almost certainly has more knowledge of energy policies than any individual in congress.
We need to first get our heads straight. The country is on the cusp of sliding into the abyss. If the american public can’t be convinced to vote for a conservative candidate who tells the truth, what’s the point of trying to run some “better red than dead” compromise in an attempt to pick off a few wishy-washy socialists (democrats)?
If we try to run a candidate that will be acceptable to the MSM we will lose for sure.
Because who cares what they said. Palin is hot. We all love her. Everybody here loves her. Who cares what TMZ or anybody else has to say about her.
Sowell nails it.
I am so tired of the “elites” in Washington telling me who I should support. THEY are part of the problem.
The election only got interesting when Palin entered the fray. I would have reluctantly pulled the trigger for McCain, but he was wrong on so many issues.
We need someone who understands energy policy and who is not afriad to CUT spending in Washington. Also, someone willing to call this global warming what it is - a hoax and a scheme to raise taxes. On all of these points Palin was way ahead of the other three idiots running. And she was the ONLY one with proven executive experience.
I laugh at the commentators and know-it-alls that keep trying to tell me how bad she would be. They haven’t got a clue about the frustration and anger ordinary Americans have with the runaway Federal government.
Palin 2012
Funny thing TMZ couldn’t identify the “young man” as Todd Palin.
Bears repeating many times over......one reason kids are not taught history, IMO
I know a woman who, ostensibly conservative, voted for Obama because she was convinced that:
A. Both McCain and Obama were likely to not survive their term in office, and hence she wanted a VP with “experience”.
B. Palin should not have been running around campaigning because her kids needed her at home.

You comparing Palin to Fey is forced.
