Conservative superstar Sarah Palin opened the door yesterday to joining forces with Mitt Romney for a 2012 White House run - a hot ticket that has some Republicans licking their chops at the prospect of unseating President Obama.
“Sounds pretty good,” Palin declared at yesterday’s Tea Party Express rally on the Common when asked about pairing up with the former Bay State governor - giving the idea a big thumbs-up as she left the stage after her headline speech.
Last night, as Palin stopped for cannoli at Mike’s Pastry in the North End, she said she was “serious” about the idea.
“I have a lot of respect for Mitt,” she told the Herald.
Asked who would be on top of the ticket, Palin roared, “Ha! I haven’t even thought that far ahead yet.”
Indeed, Palin said she hasn’t decided whether she’ll run in 2012 - with or without Romney.
Romney, a presumptive 2012 Republican presidential contender who recently embarked on a nationwide book tour, has not ruled out an alliance with Palin, the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential candidate.
“Mitt Romney respects Sarah Palin and he appreciates the contributions she makes to the party,” said Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. “But his immediate focus is on helping Republicans win back the Congress in 2010.”
Some veteran political observers were intrigued by the notion of the two telegenic former GOP governors on the same ticket.
“They both have a lot they can offer a campaign,” said Douglas Lorenz, a California-based GOP consultant. “Romney has the experience as a governor and experience as a candidate for president, and when you combine that with Sarah Palin’s ability to get people motivated, that could definitely be a formidable ticket.”
Republican gubernatorial candidate Christy Mihos called the matchup “the best of both worlds.”
“They both come at it from totally different parts of the spectrum,” said Mihos, who attended yesterday’s Tea Party rally. “One deals on a gut level with people and the other is highly successful on the business end of things.”
Speaking before a rapt crowd estimated at 5,000, Palin squarely targeted Democrats, pounding away at Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package. She also lobbied for domestic oil drilling.
“I want to tell ’em, ‘Nah, we’ll keep clinging to our Constitution and our guns and religion - and you can keep the change,” Palin said, later adding, “Yeah, let’s drill, baby, drill; not stall, baby, stall - you betcha.”
Meanwhile, Palin said last night she had no hard feelings about U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s decision to skip the rally. “He was in Washington doing his job,” she said.
I don’t think there was a fourth.
Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to church general authority government, all others being retained by God's people, as they are indwelled by the Holy Ghost.
Well you fit some of these don’t you sense you think Mormons are roadkill!
OK. I looked back at the thread just after your post, but the zots weren’t too well marked except for the first three. I actually have that thread bookmarked, calling it a ‘Three-fer Zot” thread. That’s probably what it was...
The old covenant that God had established with His people required obedience to the Old Testament Mosaic law. Because the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), the law required that people perform rituals and sacrifices in order to please God and remain in His grace.
Jesus Christ came to fulfill the law of Moses (Matthew 5:17) and create a new covenant between God and His people. The old covenant was written in stone, but the new covenant is written on our hearts, made possible only by faith in Christ, who shed His own blood to atone for the sins of the world.
Luke 22:20 says, "After supper, [Jesus] took another cup of wine and said, 'This wine is the token of God's new covenant to save you – an agreement sealed with the blood I will pour out for you.'"
Now that we are under the new covenant, we are not under the penalty of the law. We are now given the opportunity to receive salvation as a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9). Through the life-giving Holy Spirit who lives in all believers <(Romans 8:9-11), we can now share in the inheritance of Christ and enjoy a permanent, unbroken relationship with God.
Huh, this thread’s still going?
Romney is still a gay-loving, gun-grabbing, culture of death-supporting, big government-loving RINO turd.
Reid is a dye in the wool Socialist or worst! ~ Restornu
There’s your problem right there, Resty: Implying that Reid is a “moderate” ~ Colofornian
****
Colofornian, you really have art of the progressive tongue!
Never with Mitt anywhere a ticket!!
Now what would that do to the claims that anti-RINO Palin critics must be destroyed because they are helping Romney??? . And the claims that only Sarah can save us from Romney and that there is a big Sarah against Romney battle going on right now? Will Rabs be flooded with apology pings if Sarah joins the Dark Lord RINO Romney?
A side question I always wonder: does the author put the text ZOT in these titles before he is ZOTTED? Or is that added later?
Fork tongues can not speak truth so go away!
As for me my journey in the earth is to follow the Spirit of the Lord!
Post #284 presents the daily lecture by the Church Lady of the Polygot accompanied by the Mormon Blabbernackle Choir. Any resemblance to reasoned discourse is purely coincidental and impossible to find.
Tune in again tomorrow for more of the same ;(
Well, I won’t go away. That was the word of God sweetheart. The bible.
Which part is lies? Please just answer the question instead of throwing more doo-doo on me. It won’t stick Hon, I’m under the New COvenant with the God of the Universe.
glad you have loose thoughts in your head!
Well, I notice I haven't been zotted yet, but JR is free to do so and wouldn't owe me an explanation. It's his party.
As for roadkill, I love Mormons. I grieve for Mormons. I pray for Mormons. I abhor their false prophets and their prison of a religion/cult. I
Than don’t go away I can choose not to care!
You can thump your Bible and the roadkill all you want...
I notice you didn’t deny that Joseph Smith was a liar. Doubts creping in?
I notice you seem to have disdain for the bible. are you afraid of what it says?
Hi, BOF...howya doin’?
If Joseph Smith might be a liar and the Bible speaks with a forked tongue, that would leave someone extremely lost and frightened I think.
Doing great. Yourself?
