And, the GOP knows that she can destroy them...entirely.
The dims will survive as they will never split. They are a far more unified force in politics.
However, I believe the GOP to be doomed. And I'm OK with that.
You gotta start somewhere.
Oh? You can almost bet that Palin's entry into the race will cause the left to panic, because they know inside that Barry can't beat her. Her presence in the race will almost certainly draw a primary challenger from the left.
I disagree.
Further, I am going to predict that in less than two decades, no American will even admit that they were ever a Democrat.
Democrats are the anti-freedom party. Social Security and Medicare are MANDATORY programs. In a free country, government mandated programs are contradictions of freedom.
The entitlement programs are ponzi schemes that are on track to bankrupt the United States before 2020. The entitlement programs are contradictions of economic reality.
People who believe the economy can grow sufficiently to prevent bankruptcy are delusional. People who believe taxes can be increased sufficiently to close the unfunded liabilities gap are delusional. People who believe some combination of growth and tax increases can close the gap are hopelessly delusional. I would not presume to ask anybody to take my word for it.
"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." John Adams
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson
"A republic if you can keep it....When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." Benjamin Franklin
Sarah Palin sure sounds more like the Founders and Ronald Reagan than any of the other people seeking the highest office of a country claiming to be founded on freedom.
For those who claim to want their freedom back, Sarah Palin is clearly the logical first step.
