If the liberal loons would have just shut up after the election in 2008, perhaps Sarah Palin would have been forgotten, a mere footnote in history.
The problem is, the liberal loons just can't help themselves, and are genetically encoded to attack anyone with ideas they deem repellent.
If you're pro life, you're an superstitious idiot. If you're against homosexual marriages you're a evil bigot. If you dare to question global warming, you're a dupe for big business. If you own a gun and like to hunt you're a mindless barbarian.
We all know the predictable screed from the irrational leftist loons.
Sarah Palin reminds the progressive nutjobs of these things, and stands as a symbol for them to mobilize against, mock, and demean. Democrats have a long history of this, calling Ronald Reagan a cowboy, Bush 41 a secret spook, Quayle a dummy, and Bush 43 a boob.
Sarah Palin represents everything the goons on the left stand against.
When you add that to the fact she's smart, good looking, and has a deadly sense of humor-- well, you have the possibility the first female president of the USA could force the first black president of the USA out of office after one term.
Things had better go well for Obama in the next three years, because they will go swimmingly for Palin.
Palin has put together a deal with TransCanada, a pipeline building company, and Exxon, of the oil producing fame, to build a new pipeline from Alaska to the continental USA that will transport NATURAL gas.
I'm not sure many Americans yet realize, but natural gas is going to be a HUGE transitional fuel as we seek "independence from foreign oil supplies."
Natural gas is going to be a very large factor in fueling our cars, as well as our buildings, mainly because the USA has a very large reserve of natural gas at their disposal, and Palin has perfectly positioned herself to take advantage of this confluence of events.
This project ALONE will keep her in the news for the next few years, and I'm sure we can count on the leftist loons like David Letterman to keep her in the headlines as well.
Sarah Palin is the future of the GOP, if they know what's good for them.
I’m very sorry that she is giving up being a conservative, because everyone knows you cannot be a conservative and be a Republican at the same time.
I am certain that she is not as technically as intelligent as Jimmy Carter, a nuclear engineer, but he was a disaster.
consequently I believe she is smarter that Obama, also a disaster. Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi are 2 & 3 in line for the presidency, between them they don't have the mental capacity of a flea.
So tell me how smart do you have to be to be a good manager, good delegator, and a good decision maker. All key to being a good president.
Actually, silly posts like yours are more likely to get you banned than not liking Palin.
“She still has quite a bit to prove with her being on the national scene for only a year”
Only to the Huckabee and Mitt fans. Both of whom have a mountain of CONSERVATIVE proving to do to get the Palin fans...
I have my concerns on the same issues.
Well, if that's true, it's sad that the choices are so limited. My only non-negotiable criterion is that they simply uphold and defend the Constitution as they swear before God and man to do upon taking office.
Lately, I've been getting this feeling that for one reason or another, many FReepers have a distrust of intelligence. I don't get it.
When I was growing up, everyone wanted their children to be smart, and it was a bragging right if your child was intelligent. Now, I'm getting these visions in my head of people saying things like, "Thank God Johnny isn't one of those smart kids. I just couldn't live with myself if we had intelligent offspring." It's confusing as hell.
Sarah is the future of the GOP, but only IF it embraces her as its future... otherwise it has no future,
BINGO! We have a winner... You nailed it, my next republican vote will be Palin or it won’t be republican
I will not settle for a Rino like Huck or Mitt. Done, voted for my last Rino
So telling MaggieCarta that Donna wasn’t likely to be banned (after Maggie warned her of such) was silly? Queer definition of silly.
No, posting that you get banned if you don’t like Palin is silly. In case you haven’t noticed, there are several freepers who don’t like Palin who are still here. Its those who poke the snake with the stick that get bit.
Mark this warning.
PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE AND STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!
Oh really? Who pray tell? A millionaire that couldn't buy the vote last time or a preacher that's turn politician.
Neither of which I will ever vote for...
Jindal and Sanford are possible VPs but not leaders of the pack...
Not liking Palin is not a ban worthy offense.
Calling Palin a progressive is...
Huck is making a lot of money with easy hours. He is central to any debate he cares to enter through radio or his show.
Romney could win if he suddenly became a lazy Presbyterian (like me)but I doubt he could energize the Baptist base that is actively seeking Mormons to convert.
If Sarah held weekly tutoring sessions with Newt, Steve Forbes, Larry Kudlow, Thomas Sowell, etc., then she could win it all. Especially if she had someone like Eric Kantor or Pawlenty as VP.
IMHO.
FWIW.
I think some on this thread are still waiting for the Hindenberg to land.
They think Third Party loons or Mitt or rich boy L Ron Paul clone, Sanford have a chance.
They are known to their neighborhood, and couldn’t draw a crowd in a phone booth.
Mitt couldn’t even get to first base in the primaries.
It seems Palin does a great job when she knows the substance of the questions ahead of time. She does quite poorly when she is asked a question that makes her think on her feet.
Gov. Palin is doing fine with out instruction.
Many could take lessons from her on economy, energy,
negotiating with other countries and corporations
Good lord lets keep Pawlenty on the bench...!
