NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) – Republican firebrand Sarah Palin fired up party loyalists on Friday with a biting critique of President Barack Obama's new plan for offshore oil and gas drilling as nothing more than "stall, baby, stall."

Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and former governor of Alaska, did not say she planned to run for president in 2012 but did nothing to discourage speculation in a speech to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

A polarizing figure in American politics, Palin found a hearty welcome from several thousand conservatives who stampeded into a hotel ballroom to grab seats for her speech and filled every one of them within minutes.

And they cheered her on, particularly when she outlined some proposed slogans for bumper stickers to reflect their disapproval of the ruling Democrats: "Repeal and Replace," referring to a law that overhauls healthcare, and: "How's that Hopey, Changey Thing Working Out for You?"

Hey, she’s been upgraded to a ‘Republican firebrand’! Whatever else that they can come up with is drivel.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Indeed they were. Bachmann rocks.

Is it just me, or do I sense a tad bit of bias in Reuters?

Just a case of Sarah grapes.

"A polarizing figure in American politics..."

In Reuterese, that means "a conservative that we leftists love to hate."

[Christian_Capitalist]

Good one, Sarah.

[incredulous joe]

Yeah, she is doing a great job!

How refreshing to have a Republican set the press straight on something as stupid as the criticism of the “retreat/reload” quote.

In years past the pubbie would have apologized and buried themselves in a hole,...

Finally, some common sense at the national level.

Polarizing to the Establishmedia. Of course they & their messiah are uniters.

PRay for America and Gov Palin

[DeweyShootem]

As close as zer0 is to a nuclear expert, he might own a watch that glows in the dark!!!!!

[Hojczyk]

Ronald Reagan was polarizing also

Finally, some common sense at the national level.

May I add "common sense and guts".

She and Liz Cheney seem to be the only conservatives with guts enough (or 'spine enough' for the queasy) to buck the Obamanation.

In Reuterese, that means “a conservative that we leftists love to hate.”

You are so very right, my friend.

[no dems]

Someone told me tonight that Huckabee told John Voight that he did not believe that Obama wants to hurt this nation.

Is he that naive? I never liked the Huckster.

[Ole Okie]

Yeah, I think Huck is that naive.

And I don’t care for him either.

That's called reporting with a heavy agenda.

The public school graduates on the liberal side would be too dumb to catch that and they would accept it as good reporting of the "facts".
