Excellent post.
Note to GOP contenders
Ponder the underlying truth in the old movie cliche,
“It’s quiet out there. Too quiet. I don’t like this”
Excerpt:
“....Assuming that Sarah Palin doesn’t run the campaign will go sort of like this: the media will talk up the largest RINO they can find in an attempt to split the Republican Party from within. However, the real dirt will be kept securely under wraps. As the Republican primary nears its close, the research effort will go into full force. They will send squads of lawyers to go into every tiny detail of the candidate’s personal and professional life. They will examine every detail of the life of the nominee from the day of their birth. The researchers will talk to every ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, every business partner, and any employees they can find.”
“After the primary is over, they will start to dump the juiciest tidbits in carefully edited and scripted special stories. National interviews will be granted to jilted lovers and business acquaintances that felt wronged by the candidate, or perhaps could be persuaded to feel wronged with a little interview stipend. The candidate will be mocked for their lack of intelligence and any microscopic mispronunciation or slip of the tongue will result in a weeklong national news cycle about why that candidate is too stupid to be president. The candidate will not have time to counter the perception and, combined with the media adoration of Obama, likely Obama would get another four years....”
She has the basic Christian spiritual qualities Franklin (I think) said was needed to properly (by their definition [the founders]) be a citizen of a Christian principled Republic, not even mentioning the obvious .. to govern,
She's come up through the ranks from concerned citizen to experienced politician,
She made of a so-so State, a viable enterprise
She fought and won against the good ol' boys,
She brought money rightfully due Alaskans back to Alaska and put it in the people's pockets,
She's intelligent and clever and if you don't know it by now, she's one step ahead everyone that is against her.
She has defeated enemies and made friends, unlike too many pols today that make enemies and defeat friends.
It's hacknied, I know, but Sarah's the real deal and America needs her, if not for president, at least Sec of State, or some high level security position.
Someplace a clear thinking and powerfully voiced patriot WILL do good
