Sarah Palin may be once again dreaming of the White House and a run for the presidency in 2016.
After a long absence from the political arena, Palin appears to be strategically increasing her appearances and speeches while also taking solid aim at President Obama. This has led many political experts to conclude that she is aiming to enter the 2016 presidential race, or at least is trying to test the waters for a potential run.
The rumors kicked up a bit this week when a spokesman for the Rev. Billy Graham announced that Sarah Palin will be a guest for the reverend’s 95th birthday. Graham still carries great political sway, so much in fact that Mitt Romney carved out time to meet with Graham in the final days of the 2012 presidential race in the hopes of earning a public endorsement and assuring conservative voters.
Graham’s birthday celebration is also drawing other big names in the conservative world, including real estate mogul Donald Trump.
Sarah Palin has also taken her political tour to Iowa, one of the most important states for Republican hopefuls. On November 9 Palin is slated to speak at the annual banquet for the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, an important conservative and evangelical group.
After spending a long stretch away from the spotlight, Palin is also ramping up her political attacks on President Obama in what could be the groundwork for her 2016 platform.
In a Facebook post entitled “Obama’s Debt Default is on His Shoulders While We Shoulder His Impeachable Offenses,” she placed the blame for the debt limit fight solely on Obama’s shoulders.
“Defaulting on our national debt is an impeachable offense, and any attempt by President Obama to unilaterally raise the debt limit without Congress is also an impeachable offense,” Palin wrote.
If Sarah Palin is planning a 2016 presidential run, she will have even more ammunition to boost her resume in the coming weeks. On November 12, three days after her planned speech in Iowa, Palin will be released a book taking on the conservative-friendly topic of the War on Christmas.
Pain promises that in the book — titled Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas — she will “tell you how to fight back against those politically correct Scrooges who seem to hate not just a beautiful holiday, but an entire faith.”
Sarah Palin is still a long way from an official 2016 presidential run, however, and likely wouldn’t declare any intention to run for several months.
I learn from past which is why I was skeptical then (proved right) and am again now.
2011 saw no end of make believe GOP candidates totting out to get attention, all leading to the easily predictable disaster.
What I want to see is someone who can demonstrate that they can kick the crap out of Dems and BEAT them, not just make speeches, not quit, not blame others....someone who gets results.
That person will beat the GOPe candidate and a good shot at beating Hillary, not more wishful thinking.
My questions were posed prior to yours, correct?
Not here. Here Sarah was the nominee(with way too many) , till the floor fell out Oct 2011.
WTF???
Read post #267. There are 2 questions which you have failed to answer.
It's not about what you want.....it's about ‘who knows how’ to maneuver the potholes and landmines that they will assuredly be setting...and play there own game against them. If you don't 'know their game' then you can't win....no matter how good you might be at kicking butt. Those who know their game and can play it you won't always get to see their moves or understand the ones you do see.....Cruz thinks things through....but he cannot do it alone, just as he and Sarah both have said. They need the support we can give them...I intend to do that...I hope you will too.
If they committed crimes that's where they should go. Just because she happened to be governor at the time does not mean she would be a good president.
There was no "tax." It was essentially a land use fee based on the going price of oil, and the land belongs to Alaskans.
Pure spin. It's a tax, every bit as much as the gas taxes you pay. Worse, it was retroactive. I'll bet you liked that too.
That's a state's thing, Alaska alone is about one quarter the size of the continental US. I guess you think oil companies shouldn't have to pay to use that land? Or that if it does, it should go to the politicians?
I do think that oil companies should pay landowners for mineral rights, but I do not believe in government ownership of land. I guess you believe in State ownership of land, which is the essence of socialism sonny.
Sheesh. Just because you liked the deal does not make Palin a principled conservative, in this instance, quite the contrary.
This is why Cruz can manuver Washington....and why Sarah supports him....and puts him at the top of the list....he knows political law and otherwise....and he fully stands on the Constitution and knows what it is and means......
Thanks to 2nd Division Vet for this brief:
“Cruz was only the primary editor of the law review at Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude....... and was founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review, the Attorney General of our largest contiguous state,...... and served as a law clerk to J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States in 1996.... as the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States..... and assembled the Bush legal team,... devised strategy,..... and drafted pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, the specific case being Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, ....leading to two successful decisions for the Bush team.”
Cruz is perhaps the most intellectually gifted conservative I have seen in my lifetime (to take nothing from Reagan). That does not mean I believe him to be knowledgeable on every issue. Palin has the ability, but clearly not the education, nor did she take the time to correct that deficit when she had the opportunity, unlike Reagan who toured the nation while with GE learning how manufacturing really works. Empty platitudes are not enough.
I'd as soon not be fooled by a crap-spewing sour-grapes imbecile.
Stoopit fargin bastidge. Go molest your gerbil.
;-\
Let's be serious. Santorum and Gingrich had no chance for the nomination.
I have said for years that I don’t even think she can carry AK for President.
Stoopit fargin bastidge. Go molest your gerbil.

Why bother writing, when you can just slam your head on the keyboard between beers, right?
LOL!
