Actually after her debate with Biden in 2008 - Tom Brokaw , some guest on MSNBC and another guy on PBS said that she was Reagan like.....while I don’t care much what libs are saying, it’s worth noting

Advertisers often know what's really going on in the country and make their commercials accordingly.

You may have seen the commercial for Dodge Challenger; it shows the British army all set up ready for battle, but turn tail when they see George Washington (in a Challenger) with a stern RESOLUTE look on his face, coming at the Brits full speed.

“Two things America got right - cars...and freedom” goes the narrator.

My point being these Republican upperclassmen have no clue how sick and tired we are of the unconstitutional goings on in government. ‘We the People’ want our country back and are as resolute as Washington is portrayed in the advertisement.

Those that don't recognize this is a new day and act accordingly will simply get left behind.

>>I want a serious candidate like Chris Christie.... the boy plays hardball without drama.<<

By putting a Muslim on the court? That’s not going to work out well. While he’s good fiscally I haven’t seen much good about his social policy either.

Is there anything in Cain’s past or present that could be a danger to his electibility?

‘Cuz if there is, the media will find it and magnify it.

I ask because I was thinking last night that a Palin/Cain ticket would be a good one and might even draw a few of the disillusioned blacks like the ones on Hannity last night.

What in the heck makes you think I’d vote for Romney? good grief! I’ll probably vote for her, but the fanboys are as bad as being at a Justin Bieber concert :-)

I haven’t liked a candidate since Barry Goldwater; doesn’t mean I’m going to vote for a socialist, though.

Based on what I’ve seen , Romney, Huckabee, and Gingrich are the front runner right now. Pawlenty, Daniels, Pence, Barbour are all way behind. Looks like Giuliani wants to get in.

SP and Bachmann will probably not run. Ron Paul will make his usual Don quixote like stab at it.

Pay close attention to dark horses like John Thune or Marco Rubio who could wind up on the second spot of the ticket.

Propaganda machine is out in strength ... like Obama’s speech it is simply lies, Over and over again. Say something often enough and people begin to believe it, Propaganda is powerful The Left has most of the Main stream medias, either owned by liberal stockholders ... thus able to channel the direction of the news, day after day: or the news persons themselves are liberal and thus berate the republicans, and especially Sarah Palin. ... because she is good, true, unafraid, honest, and an ordinary American in many ways and has values that do not agree with the overall projections of the left for America.

Which are ... Homosexuality, marriage, abortion, Socialism, government control from birth to death, taking away our incentives to achieve and taking away the paths to be achievers. Dumbing down education, and ... of course, the government itself and all it big wigs are completely immune and exempted from all these rules and regulations.

SARAH = FREEDOM, CHRISTIANITY, COMMON SENSE CONSERVATISM, ELEMINATE BIG SPENDING, CUT BACK ON GOVERNMENT CONTROLS ENCOURAGE SMALL BUSINESSES ... Have a life with family values, THIS SARAH'S MESSAGE. She is a terrific communicator and I will support her and vote for her.

Like the SOTUS, it is 'propaganda lies' for effect.

No, the left hates her because she proves the lie of their pro abortion/pro choice stand.

Those on the republican side are mainly cynically trying to keep her from ruining Jeb’s chances in 2016. (Rove, Kraphammer, barbara bush, Will, et al)

They are complicit with the left in advancing the smears, but for somewhat different reasons (although pro-choice republicans are afflicted the same way by her I’m sure).

Her inherent goodness and character shows them how debased and vile their lives are, and they hate her for it.

Liberal Media praising some liberal candidate (Obama) that they hyped as the next Reagan, FDR, Lincoln, RFK, JFK, MLK is no big deal

Liberal Media praising someone they dislike (Palin) is quite different

That’s good to know, but you should do more. You should back her without reservation. You should endure her overly worshiping admirers with a kindly toleration.

They don’t like Palin because they don’t like us.

And they aren’t going to like anyone who looks or sounds like us.

And furthermore, they aren’t going to like anyone who they perceive is a threat to themselves. She draws fire for the above reasons, but if you back away from her to get away from the line of fire, whoever else you choose to rally around will start to draw the very same fire. It isn’t her they hate so much as it is, us.

As for the “Rino” Republicans, why do they hate her? For the very same reason. And, trust me, at least on my part, its mutual.

Welcome Back, Dad

I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong! Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she. And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP. Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.

~Michael Reagan, Chairman, Reagan Foundation, syndicated talk show host and son of President Ronald Reagan

I’d say Palin has more guts than Christie. She’s got common sense. That makes her perfect for office.

I don’t think she’s fully pro-life though.

Contraception leads to abortion: You can’t use something with a proven failure rate of 2-17% and have it work every time!!!

And that’s why 60% of black New York women shred their kids each year. Unfortunate media-educated non-thinkers.
