Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin re-emerged into the national spotlight to level a blistering rebuke of both President Barack Obama and the Republican establishment, calling upon a friendly conservative audience to "stop preaching to the choir."
Amid the Republican soul-searching on display at this week's Conservative Political Action Conference, the onetime GOP vice presidential nominee issued her prescription: "Now is the time to furlough the consultants, and tune out the pollsters, send the focus groups home, and toss the political scripts," Palin said, "because If we truly know what we believe, we don't need professionals to tell us."
Palin's speech the first major appearance she's made following the presidential election and her expired contract as a television analysts was equally critical of Democrats and the Obama administration. Her remarks were a tour de force of conservative memes about Obama, dinging him on everything from his golfing to the canceled White House tours taking place under sequestration.

Sarah writes her own ticket.
Boehner is a useful idiot to the left..just sits there, cries a little bit, and caves to WHATEVER the Dems want..just imagine what would have happened to Pelosi if she had done that, the Rats would have thrown her out of the party..but Boehner gets re-elected..he “Trusts” Obama, that’s like trusting Casey Anthony with a 2 year old..we are so screwed
Thanks. Watched the entire clip. She the libs and karl rove wet their panties.

13 Palin
Don’t count out Senator Cruz.
Yes she does and she tells us why she rocks
If we truly know what we believe, we don't need professionals to tell us.
Great line: "tell the architect to go back to Texas and become a candidate to see if he can sell his ideas"
I prefer natural born citizens for presidential candidates.
"From your lips to GOD'S EAR"
I don’t get it. I sit here reading fr posts and its like everyone expects the GOP to change if u get the message out. It’s fried. It has no future. It cannot be recaptured. Why aren’t you guys turning your attention to another party? Once that happens in force, the GOP will collapse. Done. History. Only then can the conservative party rise.
“Plain 2016? You betcha.”
I pray that is true.
I think you might have it back-assward.
The GOP needs to collapse... then a NEW party will emerge.
If that doesn't occur you're just chasing the chickens.
Because whether it's Libertarian or Constitutionalist or whatever third party, it's a guaranteed loser. Sorry, but that's just the cold, cruel fact of life.
The Russians have an old saying, "Perfection is the enemy of the good enough." Although the GOP is far from perfect, the Democrat party is orders of magnitude worse. So it's a HUGE mistake to do something that would help the Dems out, and voting third party does exactly that.
What makes you think that the party remaining standing (the Democrat) will even LET this new party emerge?
What makes you think they won't?
Wake up... nothing is forever.
Well it Palin decides to throw her hat in the ring next election time, she doesn’t have to worry too much about being attacked by the Libs, its the Repubs that will do it for them. Dem’s completely destroyed her last time and now she will have TWO sides to fight. The Repub’s need to be “done with” entirely before there will ver be a chance for a new group to surface. Yes, we are SO SCREWED right now.
What makes you think they won't?
Their mendacity, ruthlessness, and lust for power. That's what.
The Democratic LEFT, the RINO Republicans, and the MSM all piled on in an attempt to disparage and BURY Reagan.
Reagan's ace in the hole... he went around all that noise with his ability to speak to and communicate directly with the American public.
Sarah Palin has similar skills and she seems to be honing them as time passes.
Don't EVER underestimate the POWER of a WOMAN.
Palin's speech, however was exactly RIGHT ON THE MONEY. So many things in it were music to my ears, such as her calling the ball on identity politics. She's exactly right -- there are AMERICAN issues, not Hispanic issues, black issues, women's issues, and all that crap. God bless her, and God bless America.
