Better get used to the idea of her leadership, you’ll be seeing a lot of her for the next nine years.
I agree 100% with everything in your post. I wish it were not so, but I think you are right on her not being able to win.
What a wonderful a change it'll be to see them at 1600 after the squøtters are evicted .. and the Nation can begin to hold it's head up again, begin the work of reclaiming our heritage !
I for one am looking very forward to eight years of her leadership.
The Palin Army is Growing and Ready!
Thanks for posting the pictures, One Name!
Onyx, thanks for the ping to the pictures!
Real Americans will vote for Sarah Palin.
The Takers will not.
Libs hate her, RINOs fear her.
GAME ON, good old boy’s network, GAME ON!!!
There is no other candidate who will do what Sarah will do.
God Bless her and keep her safe on her journey.
Ron: Sarah, the enemy is just over that hill. How about you take them out while I cover your back.
Sarah: You betcha, Ron. They'll never know what hit'em.
Yep, Ron Johnson would be a great pick for VP.
I’d hate to lose him in the Senate, but if she picks him I support it 100%.
I meant to post to you because you were lamenting the size of the crowd, etc, and missing the magic of the moment. In other words, you are focusing on the wrong stuff. However, I read your later posts and was happy to see you self-corrected after Palin's speech. It was awesome, wasn't it? :-)
I doubt we’d ever see Sarah with her feet/shoes propped up on the desk. Such a crappy thing to do...even when Bush did it, and especially when obozo does it.
This line is typical of a concern troll, sure you want that in your resume?
Hey we can add that to the list.
President Palin
1)Doesn’t throw like a girl
2)Doesn’t bow to anyone
3)Doesn’t put her feet on the Oval Office desk
At the time I was whining about the crowd size, there certainly was no magic. At that point, the whole rally before Sarah was lame if you ask me. No one would have been there if Sarah wasn't back stage.
It was awesome, wasn't it? :-)
Sarah's speech was amazing. A gamechanger.
Shes able to articulate the true passion she has for this country, Jepsen said. Its so contagious. It sends shivers down your spine.
Bold Leadership and a Bold Economic Plan are required to jumpstart the American economy.
Palin’s Plan Starts that process.
1. Repeal ObamaCare
2. Cut Spending
3. Unleash US National Resources/Energy (A real stimulus plan)
4. Allow US business to be competitive internationally by:
*Eliminating all Corporate Income Tax while also eliminating all corporate welfare (loopholes/subsidies)
I’m a nitpicker of people who claim to support Palin but say things about her that she didn’t say herself.
I’ve yet to find anyone who says this about me who can find a post where I attacked Palin (other than on her move to stop people from using the word “retarded” in a political context). I’ve defended Palin when she quit her governorship; I defended her when she endorsed John McCain. I defended her when others said she wasn’t conservative enough on one thing or another. More recently, I’ve posted information supporting her regarding her ACES program.
On the other hand, I’ve corrected her supporters when they’ve claimed she said things she didn’t, or when they twisted her words to make it seem like she supported their odd notions. I guess if I’m arguing by quoting Sarah Palin, and someone thinks the quote makes Sarah Palin look bad, they might think I’m attacking her. I never understood how you can attack someone by quoting them, especially when you agree with the quotes, but there you have it.
And I’m not yet decided about Perry. I’m not a “supporter” yet, although I am a defender. You can defend a person against attacks you find to be faulty, without actually sending them money and support. I’ll probably decide pretty soon though, maybe after the debates if Palin hasn’t joineed up yet. I haven’t found anything yet that will keep me from supporting Perry, but I just haven’t felt like I needed to pull the trigger and send him money yet.
I’m not waiting forever for a candidate. I did that in 2008 with Fred Thompson. I haven’t sent Palin money because I don’t do PAC money and she’s not a candidate. I toyed with supporting Bachmann, but then Perry got in, and everybody started attacking Bachmann for being mean to Sarah Palin, and I decided after defending her for a while that it wasn’t worth the effort.
Hey tomcat, can I ask where you got that picture from? I took that picture, so I can’t understand why it says copyright Drew ‘08 on it.
