Ha! That would be great!
I've already named it!
The Moose Party.
Reagan refused to be Ford’s vice president. People said he was done. The nation thought otherwise, and the press didn’t tell us until the polls were closed back in 1980. They continued to invent lies until Carter conceded that night. Then they got mad at Carter and said he had taken down the Democrat ticket by not continuing to fight like Algore and Kerry would later.
I almost vomit seeing Freepers believe the media/establishment crap. We have a bunch of Rino infiltrators around here. Mitt Romney blows. That’s what they want to foist upon us.
This is the most succinct article I have seen. Profoundly nails it.
I am proud of her and support her. She is a great American.
The left, the MSM, and many RINOs hate her precisely because her very life and its achievements refute all of their entitlement and big government arguements...and let's not forget, many hate her as well because she and Todd chose life for their down's syndrome son, Trig. God bless them for that.
I think Sarah has just turned, like a fed-up mama Bear, on her detractors. She has put things in order, she has left them in the hands of capable people, and she has now turned to face her enemies directly.
...and I think they are going to be sorry. We have smelled the fear in them for a long time. Good on her!
Sarah will now get her book out, go on tour, give speeches and promote conservatie principles all over this country in the midst of the Obama administration disater and gain great political capital in the process. Then she will support conservative candidates in 2010 and help them win, amassing much more political capital. She will then take all of that and make an awesome, stunning run for the Presidency in 2012...and she has my full support.
GO SARAH GO!
Wow. Thanks for posting. Compliments to the author. She sees very clearly what is happening.
Finally, some in the media that gets it.
You can't be serious considering the way the republicans have treated her. Read the Vanity Fair hit piece on her, which wouldn't have had the impact it did without "loyal" McCain campaign staffers pouring gas on the fire as they've done ever since the election.
With friends like that...
By turning over the office to the Lt. Gov. who has been working with her on the good work she's been able to do so far, she knows that work will continue, but he won't be having to spend his time or his staff's time to fend off lawsuits, because they were aimed at HER personally, NOT as her work as Governor.
Well said. The first time I saw a post here about the number of complaints being filed and the time and money that it was costing, I knew that Sarah would have to do something about that situation. I think the incredibly crude attacks on her family, may well have figured into her decisions, but I am inclined to believe she sees this as a fulfillment of her promise to Alaska. I hope she will take it a step further and do something more on the political scene.
the populist part makes a little nervous too but this is not SP speaking
By her selfless act, she has also positioned the Lt. Governor to take over and then he'll be able to run as an incumbent when this term is over.
You know, when sneaking through the bush hunting a Grizzly there can come that moment when you realize the Bear is not where you thought. At that moment the hunter becomes the hunted. Hope zero is not stupid enough to celebrate yet.
General Washington retreated across the Delaware River.
The Brits retreated from Dunkirk.
The Red Army retreated to Stalingrad
Napoleon retreated to Egypt before defeating the Turks.
At Corunna, Spain, the British in heavy retreat turned on
the French army and routed them.
Even Attila the Hun had to retreat once.
And Ronald Reagan, God bless him, retreated
from Lebanon and regrouped.
I don’t know if Sarah Palin is exactly retreating, but she is certainly regrouping.
She is also about to become the face of the conservative base of the Republican Party. By resigning from her job in Alaska she has put the Messiah on notice that she is after hhis job in 2012.
Not ALL Republicans are like those in the McCain and Romney campaigns. In fact, she could help marginalize them when she gets out and starts raising money for Congressional candidates. Those candidates will see just who in the GOP is the one bringing in the funds AND voters, and it won’t be the RINOS.
I would be the first to admit that if Sarah Palin was not a political superstar like Reagan she would not be able to pull this off. Because she is I am convinced she will. If you don’t think Sarah can pull this off then you must not think Sarah is a superstar. If you feel that way, we will have to disagree to disagree.
Let me put it another way. Who else in golf but Tiger Woods could have made that 12 foot right to left putt over bumpy greens in last year’s US Open knowing that if he missed the putt he would lose the tournament, while physically, mentally and psychologically assuming the burden of immense pressure while over the putt.
Sarah Palin is the Tiger Woods of national politics.
