Palin to GOP: Fight like a Girl (An instant classic)
Politico ^ | 4-16-2011 | ANDY BARR

Posted on 04/16/2011 1:56:01 PM PDT by quesney

Sarah Palin unleashed a withering critique of congressional Republicans Saturday, lambasting them for not cutting spending deeper and faster, and saying the party needs to “fight like a girl.”

"We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic," Palin said during a rally in front of the Wisconsin statehouse in Madison. "What we need from you, GOP, is to fight." Pointing to the national champion University of Wisconsin women's hockey team, Palin said the GOP could learn from its resolve and “needs to learn how to fight like a girl."

My only problem I have with her is her blind spot when it comes to McCain. He’s completely untrustworthy and she continues to honor him when she needed to toss him to the curb a long time ago.

DONALD TRUMP: ...Do not underestimate Sarah Palin.

He's a smart business man. But I don't see him as presidential material.

These boots are made for running. A couple more pics from my friend who attended the rally.

The problem, as I see it, is that If you discount what Trump has said over the last week, he has all the conservative credibility of any of the politicians in Ayn Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged”. He gives money to people like Rahm Emanuel and thinks government run healthcare is a great idea.

If he becomes a candidate, you can bet a year’s salary that the MSM is going to pump him up for all it is worth. They will even ignore the Dems in the primary to give air and print time to Trump. The Republican primary will be a knockdown, drag out bloodletting with Trump getting the nomination.

After that, Trump’s liberal leanings and two faced stands over the years will be the story.

I hear what you are saying, but it could well come down to casting a vote for Trump or Obama. And that is not a position I want to be in. If he wants to savage Obama on any and all issues, I am fine with that, but it will be a disaster if he is in the primary.

To your comment about Sarah’s needed speech coach....I heard her today and it was not as bad as before. She sounded very much like the perky cheerleader girl at school. She absolutely bubbled enthusiasm. At least once she started to get carried away.

You know Obam-bam is in trouble when Sarah Palin can draw that many people in MADison, Wisconsin.

But I don't see him as presidential material.

To be honest, I didn't think Sarah was presidential material in 2008. She had stupendous natural positives, but I think she was thrown into the mix before she was ready. Kind of like those high-flying QB picks from college football who ooze natural talent but are thrown into starting roles too soon and are overwhelmed. She has gained much experience over the last couple years, and let's hope that experience, wedded with her natural gifts, can move her to the forefront.

Politics is certainly not Trump's natural arena. He certainly is no kind of "conservative" if you use the movement conservative checklist. I think he has a visceral feel that the country is off track, and wants things to "work." He can't stand the amateurishness that is on display in Zero's administration, and was evident during the Bush years too. It seems to me that Palin and Trump are the only two viable candidates for our side. Ideally, I would prefer Palin, but we shall see what happens.

Yep. But there are quite a few conservatives in Wisconsin, but all the noise is generally made by the Left.

'Tisn't you that needs to shake your head in shame, but many if not most of the "leaders" in the Republican party, including much of the current Congressional leadership. What a bunch of ball-less bastards.

Some misguided individuals think this is a Republican site rather than a conservative forum.

Let them be on notice!

I’d walk over hot coals to vote for this woman. If she runs in 2012 I will do whatever I can to get her elected. I’ve never been this enthused about a person before..she runs, she wins, u can bank on it!

'Cuda, if she is elected, I will drive you to Washington D.C. for the inauguration! (of course if I get married between now and then I'll have to check with my wife first!) And I'm local, so you know I could do it!

By the way, today marks 570 days until the 2012 election on November 6, 2012. I figure that's 10 days for each of Barry's 57 states.

I agree Buzz, Trump has guts and his pricking on Obama will definitely help SP and tarnish all the squishes on the right and left. I’m even sick & tired of the O’Reilly, Mark Levin, and even Rush for being such cowards...the GOP all are doomed. I think there is a chance we will have a successful new party elect a POTUS in 2012. Get ready for the fight of your life.
