Does anybody remember how Bill Clinton’s career was over after his disastrous 1984 Democratic National Convention speech—the one where the delegates burst into raucous applause when Bill finally got around to saying “and in conclusion?”
Nixon was done after the Checkers speech.
Mark Twain said “the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
We will hear from Sarah Palin again. She may or may not ever win the Presidency but it sure looks like she’s planning to build her own network outside the GOP good old boy’s network, and with it her own national power base, which—like Palin or not—will be a force to be reckoned with.
Unless Obama makes that illegal too, of course.
Everybody, on this Independence Day Eve, needs to remember why this country was founded, and think about what we all need to do to make the American Experiement successful again.
Obama got away with calling himself an “imperfect vessel.” Little did we know how very imperfect he was.
Palin isn’t perfect either. But she’s the most charismatic leader that we who still respect the original ideals of the American Experiment have right now.
If her resignation allows her to do something like turn the Tea Party movement into a real political force, then that’s a win for all of us, even if she never serves a day in the Oval Office.
Stay on target, people. The goal is not to elect Palin, the goal is to ensure liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
Let’s be about it.
That was in 1988, and Clinton was supposed to be done after Gennifer Flowers came out.
“Palin isn’t perfect either. But she’s the most charismatic leader that we who still respect the original ideals of the American Experiment have right now.”
And yet a good number of Republicans seem to hate her guts every bit as much as the Left (The guy writing this article seems to be one of them). They don’t say that they hope she becomes more polished or electable, they imply “Good riddance”.
Gee, I wonder why the Republican Party is screwed up?
Guess a lot of them just want to see Huckabee vs. Romney II while another RINO takes the nomination in 2012, which is probably what we’re looking at anyway.
Having said that, I hope Palin doesn’t run in 2012. I hope she waits til 2016. Obama’s a two-term guy, like it or not. Dems and some Independents have too much emotionally invested in our “First! Black! President!”
Having said all that, I think it will be some time before Palin recovers from this (to get elected to something). You want to see lots of Google hits? Try typing in “Palin” and “quits” in a week or so. Gonna take awhile to get over that.
