All this Palin bashing is not going to save your boy Obama. The economic policies he is employing will destroy him.

But please, keep up the diversion. Its what you do best.

Who needs policy? In her world -- and the world of legions of conservatives who revere her -- the persona is the policy

Is he talking about Palin or Obama?

It's not intended to - this is Hillary starting her next presidential run.

The book is meant to create an image, or maybe a brand

Kinda sounds like Obama's two books doesn't it?

Blah, blah, blah....

If Palin runs, she WILL be the next REAL President of the United States.

Oh.... and Huckafraud doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell.

I hate to break it to him, but Conscience of a Conservative was ghostwritten.

Best,

Quick name me one other politician on the national scene that you would invite to Thanksgiving Dinner.
None that I know of.

Quick name me one other politician on the national scene that has been in politics for 20 years and has to write a book to pay his/her books.
None that I know of. Hell most are millionaires.
That makes her honest and trustworthy in my book.

Having not received my copy of Palin’s book yet, I still believe that I’d prefer anything in it to anything ghost-written by Bill Ayers, or ANYONE from Chicago. I swear that I’m getting to where I hate the very word ‘Chicago.’

What RINOS don’t see is that we are not in ‘business as usual’ times. We are in extraordinary times and placating democrats and meeting them halfway is like walking the plank halfway... It makes no sense except to those who refuse to recognize the danger of our situation.

LOL -- if any politician were going to get into my house somehow, I'd lock up the silverware and other valuables.

Do not let Mark Levin read this, he would say that “conservatism is rising!”

“Reagan likewise made the thinking person’s case for conservatism”

That aint what the press was saying at the time though...

I haven't paid much attention to what the Chicago Tribune says since early in President Dewey's first term.

Dewey Defeats Truman

Reagan likewise made the thinking person's case for conservatism.

LOL! Goldwater and Reagan were demonized by the Left when they were active, exactly as Palin is now.

So what this dazzling article is telling us is that Goldwater's policy document had policy in it, but Sarah's autobiography only has stuff about her life in it?

That's their big scoop?

Really?

Whenever many on the left bash Palin they always compare her unfavorably to Reagan so their criticisms won’t be dismissed as a partisan attack. But I don’t remember any of the Steve Chapman’s of Reagan’s day ever saying his policy writings had great intellectual depth. They attacked him the same way they attack Sarah today.

Truthfully, why should Palin talk farm policy when our country in on the brink of a socialist takeover? She is using her megaphone to save what matters most.
