The ‘Cap And Tax’ Dead End

By Sarah Palin

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

The ironic beauty in this plan? Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.

Shrum is a Dem. This is his wet dream and sincere hope...that Palin is not the GOP candidate in 2012.

Is Bob Shrum the guy that's 0 for 8 getting Democrats elected to the White House?

Thanks for the help Bob, anyone that had doubts about Sarah Palin now knows she is the one candidate who can unify Republicans and Conservatives and win.

Bob Schrum? Get a real job Bob!
You’ll be calling Sarah, “President Palin” someday!

"The comments about the “big donors” are the most correct statements in the article. The candidate needs them and she may not be the one they are willing to back.

How many ways can we say “follow the money”?"

I bundled over $40,000 for Fred Thompson using the computer I'm on right now. If I can do it, so can just about anyone here. If each FReeper only raised $1,000 Sarah would have $30 million just from us!!

Shrum is a wasted weasel.

He knows that Obama can beat the mitt, but thinks that nobody else does?

Wishful thinking butt boy!

I know he is a dem and so is flowery Peggy. And I do agree Shrum is doing his part to make sure Palin is not the GOP candidate, but even Shrum has to run a campaign to eat. Obviously Sarah has the movers and shakers of the incestuous northeast corridor with their panties in wads.

I share his view that Sarah has little real chance at POTUS

Well, none of us knowS what Sarah is going to do, remember? She flatly stated that she has no plans to run in 2012. Just like that Independent Conservative Movement (coined by Tammy Bruce, not Palin) is being used to say she's running 3rd party or "helping Dems."

Notice that it's the beltway establishment who is doing all of this speculation, over someone who supposedly has no chance or who crashed and burned when she "quit." More proof that Palin is playing them like a Stravinsky.

Way to go Mitt, you just got the Bob Shrum endorsement.

Why wouldn't Shrub endorse Myth? As staunch liberals, they agree on most things, socially and politically.

“If Sarah Palin went on Meet the Press it would be the first time I’ve watched Meet the Press since Tim Russert died. Gregory would try to Couric her but I’m pretty sure she would beat the hell out of him, figuratively speaking, unfortunately.”

I don’t think they’d put her on anything they couldn’t edit to make her look bad. Or maybe they’d put a whoopee cushion under her, laugh uproariously when she sat down, then call her undignified.

The press are bottom-feeders off the Liberal elite, who are, themselves, the scum of the planet. How they can sleep at night is beyond me.

Newt is the only answer. Brains— leadership -— vision for the future...

Yeah, Newt's "vision for the future" had him sitting on the couch with Nancy Pelosi trying to sell solutions to climate change.

No Thanks!

Well the GOP is certainly the stupid party but not for the reason he states in his editorial.

It's nearly certain that the GOP's big money poobahs won't fund a Palin race, not least because they fear that her nomination would decimate Republicans at every level.

Did Shrum forget to add "again" to that sentence, or more accurated, "for the third consecutive election"? If the party wasn't decimated in 2006 and 2008, I'd hate to see what decimation looks like.

And, during the two consecutive decimations, the party was being directed by all the know-it-alls who now tell us what must be done for 2010 and 2012.

Not at all convincing, Shrum. And aren't you the guy who's managed several national campaigns without ever winning even one?

Shrum is a jackass, strike that jack asses have more smarts, and has no idea how strong Sarah’s support is.

By nomination time she will be unbeatable in my estimation.

The only question is will we still have a country and the right to vote by 2012?

Newt is a flake, and has more baggage than Paris Hilton ;-)

"Sarah may be that one..."

If she isn't, then there isn't one. The rest have all already lost. A RINO nominee is a guarantee for the bummer.
