Sarah Palin At High Noon

By Lloyd Marcus

I just watched the classic movie "High Noon" (again). Gary Cooper played a brave sheriff who brought law and order to his town. As one woman said, "He made it safe for a decent woman to walk down the street". A recently released outlaw was coming back to town on the noon train to deliver vengeance against the sheriff who put him away. His gang of three arrived early to help their leader take out the sheriff.

Fully aware of why the bad men were in town, the sheriff could not arrest them because they had not broken any laws. Waiting is not illegal.

Desperate, the sheriff interrupted a church service to solicit help. After much debate, the ungrateful town folks declined. They even suggested the sheriff "get out of town" hoping the trouble would follow him. The sheriff contemplated their recommendation. He began saddling his horse, but something inside would not allow him to run away. Heroically, the sheriff faced the bad guys and won!

I thought of another strong, gutsy, bold, stand-on-principles hero, Sarah Palin, in her own modern day version of High Noon. Sheriff Palin rode into America Town on a white horse with conservative guns blazing and saved a dead McCain campaign. She brought hope to weary and battered conservative town folks and gave them a reason to vote.

Outlaw Obama and his posse, the hate filled liberal media/Democrat gang, came to town a gunnin' to politically eliminate Sheriff Palin. They ambushed her at Miss Katie Couric's CBS saloon. Though wounded numerous times, Sheriff Palin survived.

She bravely stood tall and rode high in the saddle while ungrateful, weak kneed Republican town folks ran for cover, hid in their homes and peeked nervously through the curtains.

Why are Obama and his gang so committed and desperate to destroy Palin? Could it be they recognize her destiny, like that of Moses, to set her people free? And why is she so despised by them? Obama's gang hate Palin for all the reasons we love her. Sheriff Palin is a good, decent and strong character driven conservative leader. Palin also believes in God. Such humility and virtues are as repulsive to liberals as showing Dracula the cross.

Something that sticks in the craw of many liberal women is that in their youth, they brought into the feminist rhetoric that women's liberation means no husband and family. Tragically, they find themselves aging and alone. Meanwhile, this conservative woman has it all: great career, fine family and a husband who loves and respects her. Adding insult in injury, Sheriff Palin looks mighty fine in her jeans.

Recently, the libs sent an old washed up gunslinger, the Letterman Kid, to challenge Sheriff Palin to a shoot out. Palin planted two bullets between the pathetic old dude's wrinkly eyes before he could un-holster his gun.

Despite Sheriff Palin's courage and willingness to fight, Obama and his posse rule America Town. They are in the process of taking over everything! Obama took over the livery stable and banned horses. While he and his posse continue riding horses, we town folks are forced to ride miniature ponies.

But in the spirit of what has made America Town great, an uprising is a brewin'. A huge conservative posse is building daily. Our first battle will be in 2010 to win back America Town's House and Senate. Then, in 2012, God willing and the creek don't rise, Sheriff Palin will lead us to victory in the battle of Little Big Washington DC. Years earlier, another great lawman cleaned up America Town, Sheriff Ronald Reagan.

After Sheriff Palin sweeps out the Obama gang, perhaps once again, we will be as what Sheriff Reagan affectionately called us, "a shining city on a hill".

OK, try this:
reread #219.

Your argument was already dealt with there.
Two examples: Mondale and Truman.
Both had been VP candidates the prior election.
Both rematches produced the same results.

In one, the former VP candidate won... but unlike Palin, he was already a winner.
In the other, the former VP candidate lost... again. And even worse the second time around.

[Turret Gunner A20]

One thing I am sure, is Sarah Palin would not be able to keep up.

Well, that may or may not be true, but Ill bet you she cans write a much more complete sentence than that -- and put the comma in the right place.

[Bryan24]

Did it EVER cross one of your brain cells that John McCain was the boat anchor on the ticket? Got a newsflash for you, most of the conservatives I know, including me, only voted for McCain because he choese Palin. Had he chosen Romney, I would have stayed at home.

You are far out in left field.

[Snurple]

Ive been read posts on FR since around 1998 and you are without a doubt one of the biggest idiots Ive ever come across. You rate up there with TLBSHOW....ask an old timer who he was. lmao.

[counterpunch]

The Democrats are trying to marginalize Palin?
Perhaps you’re on to something if you think her main competition is David Letterman.

Palin doesn’t even exist in the real world of politics.
She’s a pop culture figure. Like Miss America.

I’m surprised the PalinBots haven’t jumped ship for Carrie Prejean.
Let me guess... you’re working on a movement to draft her for California governor...

[counterpunch]

There’s a competing theory that say McCain would have won had he not alienated so many voters by picking someone like Palin, undercutting his entire “experience matters” campaign.

Personally, I’m not so sure I buy either.
People had an opportunity to pull the lever for Palin instead of 0bama.
They decided to pass.
History shows us this won’t change in 4 years.

[counterpunch]

And look, you are making the case against Palin for me.
You said “most of the conservatives I know, including me, only voted for McCain because he choese[sic] Palin.”

And yet Palin came up 10 million votes short.
Has a light gone on yet?

[Snurple]

Palin didnt run for president....you really cant be as dense as you appear....but...maybe you are.

[okie01]

Palin was on the ticket and she attracted less votes than 0bama.

Ah, but how did she do vs Joe Biden...???

Not that we'll ever know for sure, but I'd wager that Sarah Palin drew more votes than Joe Biden by a margin of 10-to-1.

To insist otherwise is just being pig-headed.

[counterpunch]

It doesn’t matter.
She was on a presidential ticket.
There is no historical example where a losing VP candidate produced a better result 4 years later in a rematch against the candidate that defeated them.

there is a direct parallel to what the PalinBots want, though: Mondale vs. Reagan.
And rest assured, a Palin vs. 0bama rematch would go down much the same.

[ShandaLear]

Ever heard of Richard Nixon?

[Snurple]

Ive read your stuff before and your logic in really screwed up. Back Mitt with all your strength and money...you guys deserve each other.

[counterpunch]

Read more of the thread before going over covered ground.

[okie01]

Neither Nixon nor FDR ran in rematches against a candidate who they had faced on an earlier ticket. Also neither ran in back to back elections.

My, oh my. Angels dancing on the head of a pin. If you need so many qualifications to make your rule axiomatic, odds are it's not a rule!

[counterpunch]

Again with the Mitt Romney strawman?

[Bryan24]

It has been pointed out to you about 20 times that McCain lead the ticket, not Palin. And all the polling evidence suggests that Palin HELPED the ticket, not hurt it.

Your “theory” is a bunch of hogwash started by Romney’s advisors.

Also, your wisecrack about Letterman gives you away. Palin has been SAVAGELY assualted before and after the election by Democratic POLITICAL operatives and the sycophant Hollywood industry.

You sound just like one of the beltway Republicans who are scared to death of Palin. Every fiber of your being is dedicated to marginalizing her, because you know if she runs she will cut all of the RINOs out of the game.

Newt Gingrich has a better chance of being named Miss California than he does being elected President. Gingrich has gotten caught up in the Washington back-patting circuit and has already begun compromising his principles. His best days are far behind him.

You are offering NOTHING viable. You are offering NOTHING substantive. Go to DU and play their game.

[Snurple]

Dont make me wade though a bunch of your posts (and post them here) to show where you stand.

[Bryan24]

“And yet Palin came up 10 million votes short.
Has a light gone on yet?”

The light is on.

JOHN S McCAIN CAME UP 10,000,000 VOTES SHORT, EINSTEIN!!!

Take Palin away, he comes up 20,000,000 - 30,000,000 votes short.

It was McCain vs Obama, not Palin vs Obama. You must have concrete for brain matter.

Guys like you are THE MAIN PROBLEM with the GOP. You want to be like the liberals. You want to be liked. Therefore, you cozy it to them and select candidates they try to be like liberals.
