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."

RE :”“I can tell conservatives from my perspective is that, I’m not only comfortable with Romney, I’m excited about the possibility of him possibly being our nominee,” DeMint said

Thanks. That is what I recall too, I was just too lazy to look it up.

Between that and DeMint claiming that SS is still solvent and self funded I have already removed DeMint from the list of Republicans who I can count on for good advise.

I find nothing about this election inspiring. This 'Palin must speak at the Romney convention' is just more BLA_BL-BLA

That’s OK. She didn’t initiate a socialistic healthcare system with aborting babies for $50 a clip either. Romney’s own slaughter camp!

Romney is anti-American as he made MA the 1st state to bring his filth to America with same sex marriage that is as anti American as you can get. Worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. It’s common knowledge that romney is anti-American and Sarah doesn’t have to say it for anyone with half a brain cell to know it.

Personally, it doesn’t matter who he picks for VP - no one will make the POS cult leader good. Dress him up, surround him with whatever - EVIL IS still EVIL. And I will NEVER vote for EVIL on America.

As you know that is what we have now and we want to get rid of it. How pathetic being fearful of evil/anti-American Obama and voters turn around and voted for evil again because it appears different because Mitt put voters back against the wall by HIS LIES. Yeah, you jokers are rocket scientist’s all right - A crooked politicians dream, THE LIARS dream.

If satan can’t get you one way, he’ll get you another way to bow to him.

Not me, I’m well aware of the tactics of the godless as I’m grounded in unshakeable TRUTH.

Actually, the book is written in a very fair, evenhanded manner. The author is complimentary of Romney at times and even seems to be somewhat of an admirer. But the thread that runs through the narrative, repeated from many sources, is that he’s unknowable unless you’re a rich Mormon. He simply isn’t interested in you otherwise.

Also interesting was the description of how he came by his political “convictions”. He would ask how the issues were viewed by this group or that, but it never occurred to him to figure out how he felt, himself. In other words, he played to his audience.

All of this is pretty much in keeping with what we already know of Willard.

Were you one of the many who disrespected Sarah unmercifully when she endorsed John McCain for reelection?

NO, IT was YOU, STOP PROJECTING!

You really will use any excuse to trash Sarah just like godless MITT has/does.

Pack this into your pistol McCain does NOT support baby killing, neither did he initiated SOCIALISTIC healthcare which includes BABY KILLING at $50 a clip!! Neither did he initiate same sex marriage and be the FIRST gov to bring FILTH to his state and AMERICA! Neither did he personally marry any of the Sodom and Gorammah wanna be crowd. Mitt's as anti-american as one can get.

Neither did he bring in higher taxes/fee to his state and he wasn't the gov of a state when under his govern ship his state employment was ranked 47% in the country.

Romney and his filth and his liberalism and his godless status should be kicked to the curb so others liberals could walk on him - that's how low he is!

So don't talk about McCain. The POS cult leader Romney couldn't shine the soldier, John McCain's shoes, a PATRIOT.

I got more if you want it but I make that decision, you aren't worth my GOD GIVEN time.

The GOP doesn’t have the balls to allow this conservative woman to speak.

Then I won't be watching.

RE :”On another note I was devastated to see Palin’s last book at the Dollar Store today

HA-HA,

I bet it sold for more than the ‘Undefeated’ DVR that went on sale the day before she went on Levin and ‘fessed up’. Lots of hints that Palin is a modern day Biblical leader in that DVR
(DVR : 'HINT, HINT, She's Running') .

That is definitely a way to stay 'Undefeated', don't run in elections.

Surprise, another Obama trait, a bigot. 'Those cops acted stupidly'.

it never occurred to him to figure out how he felt, himself. In other words, he played to his audience.

Exactly what we saw in the debates. He's generic answers or saying what someone else said. No thought of his own - just something easy to please the audience.

Remember when asked his contribution to conservatism? And he paused and he said married to the same woman and I have 5 children. That was really a slam 'he thought' at Newt but exposed him, yet again, what dumb sh** he is.

He thinks married to the same spouse gives someone conservative status and that's there contribution to it!

I think Palin realizes the gravity of the situation if Obama wins another 4 years of his regime, so I would expect that she would wade into the convention of RINO’s to shred Obama.

If she could do a repeat of her spectacular first speech and take down Obama, that would be a good service to the country.

Just as long as she’s on teleprompter because she becomes horribly inarticulate when she speaks extemporaneously.

I think that all the Sarah supporters should go to Mitt’s web site and post, “No Sarah, no vote. Your choice Mitt.”

I had forgotten that. If that's the only criteria, we might as well nominate Bill Ayres.

Romney really is an empty suit.

I don’t think she should speak, because the nominee isn’t a real conservative. If she spoke, she would have to poke all the establishment in the eye, repeatedly, and they don’t want that. By doing what’s right, she would upstage the entire reason for the convention, thereby pointing out all of Romney’s shortcomings. It’s sad that we have to twist ourselves in order to support this nominee.

Speaking of what is horrible ....your post is

Duh! She has been shredding him since '08 while others were quiet.

first speech and take down Obama

Dumb cluck, a speech doesn't take down anyone, picking the right candidate to take him down does! And LIBERAL Romney ain't it.

Just as long as she’s on teleprompter because she becomes horribly inarticulate

Take you own advice - find another means of posting your trash and idiotic post. Just want to post some cr@p with no thought behind it, I see. Give it a rest, it's over your paygrade to participate.

What would know about smart, mittbot!

Voting for a candidate to left of Kennedy and the mittbot thinks he knows what undefeated is.

This is how you stay undefeated ....rolling over and playing dead.
