Palin Joining GOP Rebranding Group
Roll Call ^ | May 4, 2009 | Jackie Kucinich

Posted on 05/04/2009 10:27:57 PM PDT by Choose Ye This Day

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.

"Can we cut out the Romney's sniping about Mitt against Gov. Palin . It’s pointless."

There, fixed it for you.

“In Sarah’s case, she is trotting out her daughter (tomorrow, apparently on TV) as a darling single mom, but it ignores the facts: she slept with her boyfriend, spawned a child.....”


Spawned?

Most people with some courtesy use the word conceived or something like that.

At times crude language is required, but to use the word spawned describing this situation really lets us see some of your inner thoughts and those thoughts appear to be full of hatred.

If you don't mind me asking...

What church / denomination are you? I would make some guesses (based on personal experience) but of course all but one of them would be wrong, in the best case.

Since I would hate to guess wrong, would you mind telling me? I just want to know. I'm just curious.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe she will step in and take it in the right direction and all those losers will just fall by the wayside.

We don't want the liberal wing of our party to get all the press do we? Let her step in and see what happens. I don't believe she is going to cave on her principles.

Must be a bitch for you, being so perfect and all, to have to deal with rest of we imperfect humans.

It certainly is a bitch for us to have to put up with an imperious scold like you.

How about you STFU and we’ll call it even steven?

Imperious scold. Doesn’t quite go with “STFU.” I must say it makes for great Bristol apologetics—half cut-n-paste posturing and half obscenity. Exactly what I would expect.

If this is true, I'm feeling better about this group. Before, it was a bunch of the also-rans with a few up-and-comers to provide cover for them.

With the addition of Sarah along with Jindal and Cantor, it looks more like a party unity effort. I'm ok with that--for now.

I read you post to farmer18th. I don’t believe this person is a conservative. I think he, or she, is a lib probably from DU coming over here trying to rouse our stereotypical hatred and vitriol with flaming over the top remarks.

No matter what one’s teenage child has done, I think its important to keep in mind that, “Before the Grace of God go I,” and “Don’t remove the speck from your brother’s eye untiil you remove the log from your own.”

Mercy and Forgiveness are fundamental to Christianity. I have no patience for anyone who would condem a teenage child with the words, slut and spawned. That is hate and it is unacceptable. Sarah Palin’s daughter sinned. She’s taken responsibility and no one on this site knows for a fact that the baby will be denied his father or that Bristol has not paid for her sin and has been given forgiveness.

Geeze, let’s try love instead of damnation for a change.

You’re either a lib or a seriously deranged individual. Either way, you need to be banned from this site.

A weird liberal to be sure, since it parrots bible verses that would seem to pertain, but any serious student of scripture can see the comments as superficial. Spawn of Westboro, except with a different hangup?

She is for following the rules regarding immigration, and is against blanket amnesty, another one of your smears.

You keep posting snippets of articles out of context. On another thread, you are insinuating she supports Obama's bailouts, again with nothing to back it up - you either can't or won't bring yourself to perform some due diligence on a woman you are obsessed with. Too bad you couldn't have used some of that energy to pull your hands out from under your butt during the election.

Here's a snippet of a 12.22.2008 interview with Human Events on the stimulus packages as the NWO events were unfolding; http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29994

GIZZI: In campaigning for Sen. Chambliss, you brought back a lot of conservatives who had been critical of him for voting for the Wall Street bailout [of financial institutions]. Would you have favored the Wall Street bailout and voted as Sen. Chambliss did?

PALIN: I would have done what the GOP [senators] did yesterday and said ‘no’ to additional bailout efforts of one industry [the automobile industry, whose proposed federal bailout was stopped in the Senate December 11]. Picking winners and losers in Washington, D.C., is a dangerous thing to do when you’re talking about a system that supposed to be based on free enterprise. When you talk about rewarding for work ethic and good management decisions and then consequences are the results of the opposite of that, and those decisions lead to some mistakes that are made in some industries, taxpayer bailouts should not be looked to as the be-all, end-all solutions.

But back then, weeks ago, when that initial bailout [of financial institutions] was proposed, remember, it was considered at the time a rescue and not necessarily a bailout. Without having as much information as everyone has now, I did support that initial effort that was going to come from Congress. Of course, we saw [Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben] Bernanke and others appear to change the rules right away, it seemed like, after that initial rescue plan or bailout was given the green light, then everybody in the public, including me, started hearing that the rules were changing on where those dollars would go and what the criterion would be. Unfortunately, that leads to distrust of decisions our politicians make on our behalf and bureaucrats make on our behalf.

Now the situation has changed, and I think the GOP did the right thing yesterday in saying, “Look, we still want more information before one industry -- in this case, the auto industry -- gets more taxpayer assistance until everybody knows what those dollars would be used for and how it will lead to success in this industry.”

GIZZI: So you stand with Sen. [Bob] Corker [Tenn.] and other Republicans who stopped the auto industry bailout in the Senate?

PALIN: I do. Once bitten, twice shy. We learned a lesson, at least being amenable -- if not enthused -- to the idea all those weeks ago to the first rescue plan. But then the rules changed quickly, and more information was revealed that perhaps Congress and the bureaucrats in the Treasury Department not having a good grasp on what the problem was and how taxpayer funds would solve any of the problems. That’s caused a lot of concern and caution on my part and the part of the Republican Party.

GIZZI: Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels has spoken out against the bailout of states that [California] Gov. [Arnold] Schwarzenegger and other governors have called for. As a governor yourself and an active member of the National Governors Association, where do you stand on the bailout of states?

PALIN: Every state, like every community in the United States, comes to Congress with its list of infrastructure needs. Alaska is going to join every other state with a governor’s list. In fact, I’ve looked at every other governor’s list of infrastructure needs that’s presented to Congress. It’s up to Congress, because Congress holds the purse strings, to decide how some of those projects are going to be funded. Alaska’s projects are going to be in the nation’s best interests. They will be infrastructure that will build gas lines and build that infrastructure up that will lead to energy production to allow us to become energy independent. We aren’t asking for things like “Bridges to Nowhere.”

But, in speaking with Gov. Schwarzenegger about this, he has said it’s not his intention to ask for a bailout that is based on his state’s management decisions that have led to some problems in that state. In Alaska, we’re fortunate. We have a surplus. We have money put aside for the last few years, waiting for a ‘rainy day’ when the economy wasn’t as strong. We are in a good position, so we are not asking for, nor should we ask for, a bailout from the ‘feds.’ But we will, along with every other state, have our list of infrastructure projects and roads and very basic tools that will lead to energy production.

Why not try on a new tagline to the effect of Governor Palin has managed to maintain a SURPLUS, LOW TAXES, AND A FRACTION OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAN MOST BIG CITIES HAVE ILLEGAL ALIENS, BUT I STILL HATE HER AND I DON'T VOTE.

At least that'd be honest.

I never said I hate her...I just refuse to drink the Palin Kool-aid. She supports a path to citizenship for illegal aliens. THAT is amnesty. Half full, no full, no blanket or otherwise...it’s AMNESTY.

You either refuse to acknowledge the truth about her position on this...OR you have no problem with amnesty. Frankly, I’m guessing the latter.

Oh, and not that it is any of YOUR business but I certainly DID vote. I voted for a CONSERVATIVE republican. Let me guess...you voted for MCSHAMNESTY!
