....and for the better. Drill baby drill.
Unfortunately, the maggots weren’t looking for “change” in 2008. They were looking for freebies and government handouts. Government freebies are the new American dream.
The headline misrepresents the body of the commentary.
Unless I missed something?
No republican ticket could have won in 2008. After 8 years of W it was near impossible.
Just look at 1980. It would have been much tougher for Reagan if we was trying to succeed a failed and unpopular GOP President. He’d probably have lost.
It’s tough to win 3 straight terms even in good times, ask Al Gore. He had a good economy under Clinton, no wars, and he still lost.
When you look at the the 8 years of Bush, the unpopularity of the Iraq War, the bad shape of the economy, Obama’s massive 400 million dollar spending edge, the GOP was pretty much doomed. And that was before the market crash and Lehman collapse and the implosion of the economy.
I’ll always wonder what would have happened if Lehman hadn’t collapsed and the economy stayed as it was through the summer. I think McCain would have won a very narrow win.
But once the economy collapsed in September the election was over.
Fortunately, in 2012 Obama won’t be an agent of change. He’ll be representing more of the same.
Perhaps someone can explain how this can be when she doesn't even advocate ending any programs or agencies of government, even those that are plainly unconstitutional such as the Dept. of Education.
Happy talk, at a time in history when that won't be anywhere nearly good enough.
This was news to her? Oh boy!
Tell what My Leader.
Feel free to Bring about change in 2012 and take the trash out too.
Sarah Palin/ ? 2012!
Then why didn't she run in '08? This is an odd statement. Was she suggesting that the GOP party apparatus install her on the top of the ticket to beat Obummer? I don't get what she was trying to accomplish with this part of her answer.
Think again, Sarah. That traitorous bastard would have been sabotaging the United States, just not the same way Obama and the Democrats planned on doing it. It may be bitter medicine to swallow but four years of Obama may prevent the next 20 years of Democrat rule.
You would have seen change, but not the sort of change the GOP should be proud of.
Me also!
We know Sarah wanted to make Rev Wright and Barry`s terrorist pals part of the campaign, but McCain would have no part of it.
I think it could/should still be a issue in 2012. Barry said that he did not share the views of Rev Wright, I think the list is long that he does in fact share Rev Wright`s views.
Whether or not that is a issue in 2012??? I think it should be!
funny thing is that wasn’t what Gov aplin was suggesting nor is it what she said.
She had zero chance of being at the top of the ticket in 2008.
Another in the persistent series of continuing non-informative articles about SP that passes for news via most of the media these days. The author with a feminine first name ho-hums her way through her incorrect characterization of SP’s India speech and the following Q&A which Palin fielded without error.
Are “libel” and “slander” now meaningless legal terms, unenforceable and without redress just because a private citizen is famous?
********************************
Despite that the wait seems endless, I think she's making the right decision here.
I don’t see where she’s promising to shut down public education, social work programs or other worthless revenue hogs. The future of defaults will be very bleak for everyone in spendthrift politics.
