Palin To Be Part of National Council [Cantor's office confirms]
The Washington Post - The Fix ^ | 2009-05-04 | Chris Cilizza

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be part of the National Council for a New America, an attempt by leaders in Congress and potential 2012 presidential candidates to rebrand the struggling party.

"I am pleased to announce that Governor Palin has joined the National Council for a New America's panel of experts," said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) today. "When NCNA was announced last week, we spoke about a dynamic organization that worked to constantly bring in new people and innovative ideas."

. . . . .

Palin's involvement in the group will help rebut the idea that the National Council is an organ of the establishment wing of the party set up to keep the Palins and Gov. Mark Sanford's (S.C.) -- both of whom are more hardline conservatives -- from taking over control of the party.

I read her statement, she is only doing this if it benefits Alaska. I think she is playing it safe, I don’t think she will be socializing with these people, especially after what they said about her yesterday

Well Sarah, I know you mean well, but all you’re going to wind up doing is lending credibility to the worst of the worst one more time.

I’ll wait and see, but I don’t see you changing idiots like McCain, Romney, Graham, Snowe...

Good luck!

Leftists will maintain their political majorities, thanks to, both, RINOs and former RINOs.

She is surrounded by snakes - socialists in the press and socialists in the party - rinos. They all hate the unwashed - conservatives.

I don't think Sara will let these guys walk all over her. Hopefully, she'll send them in the right direction.
Voting for these guys would be a dumb move. Their core values aren't ingrained enough.

This used to be a free country, and I'd like it to be free again. I'd like to keep what I earn. I'd like to think and believe freely without some politician threatening to imprison me for it.

She’ll be a part of it and, if RINOs have their way, her part will be that of doormat!

One small step in the right direction. Now is the time to retire, most, if not all RINO’s and Moderates. Need more like Sarah. Consult people like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Rush Limbaugh for additional names of rock solid Americans who believe in the winning ways of conservatism.

I have a different take on this.

Palin will now have a national platform to show the contrasts between herself, and the Rinos in the same arena!

Palin is outstanding when left to be herself! She is wiser than before, and beware a woman scorned!

Baloney.

Palin needs to be on her toes every minute, as most of the GOPer's involved in this still want to marginalize her.

Inviting her to join was not so they could embrace her conservative values and ideas.

If this report from Cantor is true...and it’s hard to imagine he would have made a public announcement like this if it wasn’t...then Sarah Palin has been captured by Romney.

This is completely demoralizing, like getting punched in the stomach and having the wind knocked out of you.

She doesn't NEED these clowns. Palin, just focus on your job and talk to the grassroots. Utilize YouTube and make speeches defending conservatism. Why is there a group of Republican losers trying to bring "new direction" to America? Just speak truth to power on conservative principles and the masses will follow. How hard is it to understand?

Remember Palin’s Motto?

What’s the difference between a hocky mom and a pit bull!

LIPSTICK!

They may have invited a mongoos into the vipers den!

Sounds like the RINO crowd panicked after seeing the reaction in the Conservative blogosphere and went to her with hat and hand to beg her to join up. I wish that she would have told them to pound sand, like we had originally thought she had done, but oh well.

I know exactly what you mean. I was much happier when it looked as though she had told these guys to piss off.

I see she has learned nothing from her experience with McCain.

That's what I see. She doesn't need them, but they need to use her - for now.

Reagan won 49 states with one sentence - "Government is the problem."
We just want our lives and freedoms back.
