Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), the 2008 vice presidential nominee, will join a new Republican policy group aimed at reshaping and promoting the party brand.
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.)announced Palin’s decision to join the National Council for a New America on Monday night. The group launched late last week and held its first town hall-style forum on Saturday in Virginia.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the 2008 presidential nominee, indicated during a conference call last week that his former running mate had been invited to join the policy panel. The group, which is made up of prominent Republican leaders, plans to hold town hall meetings across the country over the next few months.
Palin’s absence from the group had prompted questions about whether she was snubbing it or being left out.
She loses by joining this group of losers.
I hear your worry.
It bears waiting, watching, and, yes, prayer.
I don’t see an obvious hamartia for Sarah Palin here. Not yet. We know Jeb Bush is Roman Catholic, and Mitt Romney is Mormon. All three would certainly disagree about just who is Christian. If we see them, say, join in a communal church service, we know we are in spiritual trouble. Must Sarah do all without coming to some political understanding with possible or actual unbelievers? I doubt it, and I also doubt that God is requiring that.
What an idiotic comment. So you think there can be a future presidential candidate running all alone? She needs the RNC, and the RNC needs her. This IS exciting news.
And now stop hijacking this thread. You have yucked through these same arguments on enough Bristol threads.
There used to be a television commercial where the spokesman complained about being “misconscrewed.” It was a portmanteau word combining “misconstrued” and “scr*wed” the latter intending not a literal act but metaphorical for an unfair treatment.
Of course we all sin, but there are biblical remedies for that sin which have social utility. Our very republic was based on that biblically-mandated social response to grave sin. In the case of murder, you execute the sinner—after due process. You may forgive him, but you don’t re-fellowship him. In the case of adultery, drunkeness, extortion, etc., you disfellowship the sinnner, even if the sinner is your own kin, until they are truly penitent. The reality of those penalties made for a more peaceful, and a considerably less expensive government.
Nope. See my post 71. Do you expect her to be on the national stage all on her own? Unrealistic. If she is to be a future contender she needs to deal with the RNC. The RNC knows that she is a power, and that’s mighty good news.
Or, we should hope and pray, the erstwhile losers (and party) gain from her.
Okay. Fine. Now keep the Bristol stuff on Bristol threads. Agreed?

This young girl and her private life should not be a topic here nor any where...
I've always be taught if you ask God to forgive you of your sins, He will..
I doubt that even the most pristine Christians in the presidency, if they should so desire, could bring us a second Puritan land, though they could certainly help ameliorate existing evils.
Why don't you go ahead and read all of Genesis 38, where you will learn about Judah and Tamar, and how he impregnated his daughter-in-law while thinking she was a prostitute. A little fornication, possibly.
Then turn your Bible to Matthew 1:3 and discover that Judah and Tamar were both direct ancestors of Jesus.
Sounds to me like God has more forgiveness than you. Not a good place to be.
You don’t elect the parent of those neglected children to be the President either.
Yeah... show me a succesful presidential candidate running all on his own, without a party to back him up.
Since you dislike Palin, you apparently would want her campaign to fail.
Sounds like a RINO Who’s Who.
Not all of them, but most.
Reminding the party faithful that the Bush family has active contempt for conservative principles is ACORN-think? Interesting.
