Quite simply, I love her.

btw—I’m not a guy. I just think she is one classy woman.

Ping to Sarah's Achiever List!

Sarah has certainly impacted my life in a way I never thought possible.

Truly Inspiring.

I direct people to my tagline :)

Build the America you want to live in at your address, and keep looking up.- Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin: living rent-free in the liberal’s heads since 2008.

My daughter got me a signed copy of her last geek for Christmas last year. (I finally read it this week and highly recommend it.)

While in line in Michigan to meet Sarah, my daughter called as asked what she should say. I told her to ask Sarah to endorse Dan Bongino for his maryland congressional run.

Since we were several states away, my daughter said it took a second then Sarah and Todd both got big smiles and said how much they liked Dan. Sadly, he ran in a heavily gerrymandered district and was one of the two who lost. Barely. It took days to declare the winner.

If a liberal Democrat were that successful at endorsements, it’s all you’d see from the New York Times, Politico, MSNBC, WaPo, Huffington and all the rest.

What a team!

Both working towards the same goal.

The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic.

Benjamin Franklin




Quotes by This Author

The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.” (Benjamin Franklin)

I agree 100%. She may have human faults or frailties like we all do, but I don't see any in her public presence, aside from what the lefties have made-up about her.

BTW, I am a guy and I still think she is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And so does my wife. Plain-spoken, down to earth, one of the regular people not the elite. She would make a great president but the political landscape would have to change before she could ever be elected. The left has besmirched, ridiculed and hated her so much in print and on TV that she has become a divisive figure.

If she ran for office, any office, tomorrow, I would vote for her in a heartbeat. She's my gal.

I’m a Palin fan, but among the 100 most influential Americans in 250 years of history? I don’t think so.

Sarah Palin was a sitting governor, and at that time, before the Obama campaign and their allies in the press spent months relentlessly smearing her good name, she had the highest approval ratings of any governor in the country.

Sarah held progressively higher office; she has many years executive management experience at local, regional and state levels and has a history of being a reformer and taking on powerful interests for the benefit of ordinary people.

She was a fiscal conservative who made the largest veto cuts in Alaska history, reined in the reckless waste, cut her own expenses, sold the governor’s private jet, let the personal chef go, and put away billions of dollars in savings for Alaska for a rainy day.

She was a tough CEO who went toe to toe with the Big Oil companies and fought to get the best deal for Alaskans, the resource owners she represented.

Taking on corruption and crony capitalism has always been a cornerstone of Sarah Palin’s agenda; in Alaska she did take on the old-boy network — the oil companies and her own party. As oil and gas commissioner, Sarah Palin called out the unethical practices of members of her own party. As Governor, she sought to end the back room deals and improper relationships between oil companies and politicians.

And she did all of this as a woman from a modest background who was entirely self-made – without the benefit of a rich or influential father or husband. All of Sarah Palin’s success was due entirely to her own hard work and intelligence.

Sarah Palin’s spot in history is earned by her standing up to bad Republicans as well as Democrats. In order to halt the abuse inflicted by the liberal faction, she resigned from the governorship.

Now she leads the only constitutional movement alive in this nation.

She’s earned this rating.

New, and overwhelmingly elected, USA President Sarah Palin discussing the latest military options with her hand picked Secretary of Defense, Boss Jim, regarding the soon to be exterminated muslim terrorist training camps in America. The current campaign, (Operation ‘Allah Ackbar this beyotches.....’), is only in it’s first 6 hours, but both President Palin and Boss Jim see the entire mop up to be 100% complete by this afternoon. When asked where the muslim terrorist POW’s were to be held Boss Jim replied: “Huh? POW’s?... Well, heh, their doesn’t seem to be any of ‘em, heh.”
