Sarah Palin weighs in on Cory Booker’s comments as well as the Romney repudiation and the NC teacher who scolded a student for talking about Obama. And more on the video!

Agree about Perry. I really don’t like to dwell on where we would be right now if he’d been successful in the debates and continued on his ascent. It makes me sick.
As for Sarah, every time she gets asked about Romney SHE looks ill. I think she will put off actually speaking his name until the last possible moment, but of course she’s going to support the eventual nominee.
Nice picture of two losers.
We all work with the light we have. Sarah is not a deity. Her efforts to help us get a conservative presidential candidate were obvious, sincere, and within the scope of the constraints on her activity. Neither you nor I know all those constraints, and I for one appreciate what she tried to do. Newt was, IMHO, our best hope for taking a real chainsaw to the budding socialist tyranny. All the others were half measures at best. No intellectual firepower. But no one could match Romney’s financial firepower, nor his ability to convert that firepower into lie-driven carpet bombing runs against his opponents. This is not something Palin or anyone else could do much about. Our only hope, from a human perspective, was us, and we let us down.
You see, I’ve been a candidate locally. I’ve tried my hand at getting people stirred up to do more than post and pout. We needed people to jump in with both feet. Candidates need money. But everybody is too broke to save the Republic. Candidates need people. But everyone is too busy to make the meetings. Maybe they’ll get around to it next time. Or maybe there won’t be a next time. What is lacking is a sense of urgency that matches the dangerous reality in which we now find ourselves.
Just the other day I was talking with the cable guy, trying to see where he’s coming in on the political situation. He didn’t care one bit for politics, just wanted to live his life and be left alone. He was visibly irritated that I even mentioned the subject. He doesn’t realize how his life will change if he doesn’t get energized. He doesn’t realize that getting involved now could literally save his own life later on.
Freedom is something we all have to fight for. Like Sarah said in Wisconsin, we have to do this together. That quote is on my ringtone. People at work hear it regularly, and they know who she is. More importantly, she knows who she is.
You say you are a Christian, and I am happy to take that at face value. Sarah is also a Christian, and one who has made it clear she seeks God’s wisdom for the things she does, in whatever realm. I am prepared to take that at face value too. I believe she has done what she believes God wanted her to do. She is not so arrogant as to think that our success really depended on her, and she has said as much. She knows this truth, that our success in deposing the Marxist depends entirely on the mercy and aid of God, and on our own willingness to carry our own weight, every one of us, in salvaging what remains of our great country.
“her fame and reputation would have launched her to the White House no sweat.”
I also think Palin would have rallied the conservative base and would have been a good president to get this country back on track from the leftists running us off a cliff.
I’m confused about one thing, though. I saw Newt as having the support of political conservatives, but Santorum having more support with religious, faith based conservatives.
I presumed that Palin would have supported Santorum, and perhaps her political clout may have helped him get the nomination instead of Romney.
If not Palin, at least Santorum or Newt would have been a conservative candidate compared to liberal Romney.
Good For You!
I have different plans.
Palin supported Newt, and like many conservatives, did not seem to trust the remade Santorum.
I don’t thing there is going to be a miracle. Judgement on the other hand...
Word.
Palin supported Newt, and like many conservatives, did not seem to trust the remade Santorum.
Shocking news: Santorum was the same guy in 1994 as he is today. He has no need of being “remade”. I still can’t believe how many savvy folks here bought the Romney-manufactured BS about him. Bob
“Agreed. It will also be a bummer when she endorses the turd...”
I don’t believe that she ever will given the treatment she received at the hands of the Romney people working for McCain in the 2008 election and during the period post election. They’re the people she went Rogue on!
Sarah may campaign Against Obama with all her heart, but I doubt she’ll spend Any time campaigning for Romney. Nope none at all.....
“I’m sure I’ll take some hits for saying this. But one reason (out of many) why we’re stuck with Romney is that Palin did not act when the conservative cause really needed her.”
Not to worry, you are doing fine job of self flagellation.
Funny thing is that the Michigan Delegation got prime spots and room assignments for the Convention in a Tampa and now they won’t even be Mitt’s people.
She knows that it was Romney’s minions who were backstabbing her during the 2008 campaign and over the past three years since. I have no doubt that it’s personal for her now, and that she will never formally endorse Romney, only the “ABO” candidate or the always unnamed GOP “nominee.”
I don't.
Like the graphic on the lack of understanding of Romney’s first name. For some reason “turd” was not listed.
Ah, another PDS'er emerges out of the woodworks I see...where have all the other ones gone? All the old poop slingers seem to have disappeared.
She reiterated that exact point last night. Be it she was subdued by the obvious cold/flu she has right now. I agree with your point she has a certain distaste for him and his handlers that will not cease when he becomes the nominee. It wasn't so much the vile crap from the left but more so the piling onto that narrative by the likes of Wallace and Schmidt.
I'm sure I'll take some hits for saying this. But one reason (out of many) why we're stuck with Romney is that Palin did not act when the conservative cause really needed her.
This is partially bollocks, and partially true.
Palin was going to run, and she would have been Goldwatered by the same Establishment that torpedoed Barry in 1964. As it was, the two flawed candidates who ran, Santorum and Gingrich, ran comical campaigns that both got dusted by Romney's money and firebombing. They were never serious opponents of Romney.
Palin also made the conclusion that the GOP was not as of yet a serious instrument of conservative reform. There was a tepid reaction to her Indianola Reform Speech, which will be seen as an important step in the dismantling of the Crony State Capitalist regime in the future history of this country. The Paultards have not quite matured enough to become a force in their own right in the Party, and the Reagan Wing of the Party, which she leads, is still too weak and disorganized, to challenge the Bush/Establishment wing of the Party.
I suspect though that she has something planned for the Convention. What I do not know. She wants Obama out in the worst way and is planning her own downticket campaign on her own principles. She won't let Romney or his people control her for one nanosecond. It's Palin's conviction that the Establishment GOP doesn't have the wherewithal in them to fight, although the Romney people would argue that the focus of the fight should remain on the economy.
So we'll see how this plays out. There may be an unwritten agreement between the Romney people and Palin that allows Romney's ticket to take the economic high road and Palin to do her own thing and hit O'Jesus in the gut with the Reverend Wright stuff. You all would be surprised at how much these people communicate with each other.
Best,
Chris
Exactly....
That is why she never mentioned Willard by name as he was one of the primary backstabbers via his minions the last 3.5 years and just as bad as the left.
She will however work her butt off like she noted for Tea Party Conservative types for the House and Senate which will have ole' Willard reaching for the Kayopectate as they pull him to the right, far right.
What goes around comes around and payback is a Beeotch. Willard will politically regret the day he messed with her political career. He is not gonna have an uber Liberal House and Senate like in Mass and pass all they gave him to get along, he will have just the opposite.
I noticed her wording very carefully in that interview and it was more informative and profound in regards to where she is headed and many of us will be in the near future. What was said in this interview IMHO was more important than we imagine. It maybe a game changer from a historial standpoint.
Chris, as usual outstanding post, your insights are always very interesting...
Last October 5th, I felt as you do. But I’ve changed my mind and feel that time will vindicate her decision not to seek the 2012 Republican nomination through the primary process. It may be years, if ever, before we learn which of the threats against her family made her back away from running.
