DeMint: Give Palin Major Speaking Role at Convention
NewsMax ^ | July 20, 2012 | By NewsMax Wires

Posted on 07/21/2012 3:57:00 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Powerful conservative Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., thinks former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin deserves a prime speaking position at the Republican convention.

"I'd love to see Sarah Palin have a big slot — as far as speaking — because there's no one still in America that excites the base of conservatives and even libertarians as she does,” he told Fox News Thursday.

“She can draw a crowd more than any other Republican, and I think has more influence in primaries than any other endorsement right now, so I think she'd be good."

Well if so, it makes things so very much simpler the day (after) the election.

Because in that case, it’s all hands on deck from day one, to replace Romney in 2016.

I’m still waiting to see, whether Romney has a moment of clarity, and buys himself some time to maneuver first.

I’ll take either approach.

:D

Hate to say it, but if Obama wins, 2012 will be the last year you have the option of voting or not.

Thanks for sharing about the root canal. My husband is going to have one, and though he’s not worried, I was. I feel much better after reading your post.

"Romney is a real screw up. If Palin does not get to speak he will lose lots of the Tea Party that might be sitting on the fence."

Romney drags his feet to pay Palin even the least bit of basic human respect because Romney is a first class jerk. Palin would do well to keep him at a distance.

Palin for President. That would be exciting times.
Not excited about Romney.

Every single person who got an endorsement by Sarah Palin in 2010 owes it to her to demand publicly and loudly that the GOP have a speaking slot for Sarah.

Nothing less will do.

I’ve no desire to hear Palin say anything supportive of Romney, anyway.

Now, if she were to call him out, demand that he step aside and let the delegates nominate a conservative...well, that’d be different!

But she’s too polite, and she thinks the party can be redeemed somehow — after nominating a pro-abort, pro-gay, pro- socialized medicine, Reagan-rejecting s-o-b.

No, I most definitely don’t want it to be Palin who calls for his nomination. That would only twist the knife.

Personally, my views on Mitt Romney line up with Ann Barnhardt’s. I’ll watch tv that night if they broadcast a rebuttal by Barnhardt.

They think she's Tina Fey.

Only the retards do - as you've proven.

Her image is PERFECT. You'd have to be a conservative to understand that. You are a liberal - can't expect much from you.

They are scared to invite her to speak at the convention because she could become the talk of the convention and Mitt would look weak next to her. It would remind the base once again what they are missing this election.

Mr. Thirty Percent and his band of followers probably feel that they may be embarrassed.

Well, I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I see I was mistaken.

Don't bother to respond.

Sarah Palin is a paid political commentator for Fox News.

Actually, on another Palin thread,the reporter had contacted Fox and was informed that they will not prevent her from speaking.

LOL! I like how you think. They just might asked to have approval rights to what she will say. GOP wants to be obeyed and know you can be bought.

They know Sarah cannot be bought and needs NO political favors - so they are taking a chance and I bet they feel they need to be sure. I don't trust them. I think they are afraid of her going off and getting the delegates and they want her CLOSE to them. With godless Romney in the picture, nothing is as it appears with that snake in the grass!

She screeches in a high pitched tone.

She does have that effect on liberals and hardcore Rombots. They feel like closing their ears and running away as fast as they can when they are exposed to the truth.

Romney’s a mess - one big mess! Interesting about him whoring for more money and mentioning Sarah. Goes to show, Sarah lives in his head 24/7/365x4

Probably installed an elevator in his new home so he doesn’t have to walk up the stairs or through the house with his hired help there. From his car straight to his area.

Willard is a pussy, liberal, liar; although he
IS the author of both RomneyMarriage and RomneyDeathPanels.

Therefore, Mr. RomneyCARE fears and hates Gov. Palin.

Anyone who has integrity is hated by Team Romney.

In that case, that's very good news for conservatives, but not such good news for Romney, as it eliminates another excuse/reason not to invite her.

Unlike Willard RomneyCARE who is an evil liar,
she speaks truth;.

Unused to truth, thus Gov. Palin creates high pitched
tones in RomneyBOTs ears and liberals’ brains.

I wouldn’t doubt it. The man is not normal. According to the book, folks who know him say he isn’t interested in making small talk or chit chat with people outside his bubble-—in other words, wealthy Mormons. Quote, “He isn’t interested in anyone’s spouse, or kids, or what’s going on in their lives.” So all of the smiling talk you see at campaign stops is completely phony; in reality, he can’t wait to get away from those unwashed peasants and sanitize his hands.

No what you gave was your mittbot/PDS mindset. And they are always mistaken, too bad you didn't know that! UNTEACHABLE, that's why.

And I'll do as I see fit - the action that needs to be taken, no mittbot tells me what to do.
