Sarah Palin, Leader of The Pack

By Lloyd Marcus

So, who do I like as our Republican presidential candidate in 2012?  Parodying the song recorded by The Shangri-Las: "The liberal media is always putting her down (down,down). They said, she came from the wrong said of town. They told us she was bad. Then I knew she was the best we had. That's when I fell for the leader of the pack." Who am I singing about? Obviously, the one and only Sarah Palin.

Folks, it is a bit too early to go all in on any presidential candidate.  I really like Herman Cain.  But when I think of the one person who appears to be uncontrolled by liberal media attacks; who epitomizes the kind of "in your face" no holds barred approach to attacking Obama's horrific record, we Tea Party patriots are so desperately longing for, hands down, it is Sarah Palin.

I know. I know. Republican elites and conventional wisdom says, "Be reasonable. Palin is too toxic. She could never win. Pick an electable candidate like Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney."

When ObamaCare first became law, Huckabee said repealing it would be difficult. He suggested that we try to find some good in it. My mental buzzer went off, "Wrong answer".

On Rush Limbaugh's radio program, Donald Trump cautioned Paul Ryan to work with the Democrats and not be too aggressive about moving forward with his budget proposal. Again, Trump set off my buzzer, "Wrong answer."

"Working with Democrats" always means compromising our values, principles and desires. We want conservative representatives with backbone in Washington fighting on our behalf.  Yes, the liberal media will portray them as Satan incarnate.  But, there's a new sheriff in town called the Tea Party and we have our representatives' backs.

As for Romney, I do not sense a fire in the belly of this man about standing up for conservatism or the Tea Party.

The liberal media is planning a sequel to the McCain/Obama race in which they picked our "moderate" losing candidate.

Once again, the liberal media is telling us who is "too Tea Party" to win and why we should pick a moderate to run against Obama in 2012.  The title of the liberal media's sequel is, "Sucker the Conservatives Two: This Time We Really Think You're Stupid".

Let me tell you what I think about moderates.  Even Jesus had a problem with moderates.  He said, "You are lukewarm -- neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out of my mouth."   In other words, for crying out loud, have the backbone, character and conviction to take a stand for something.  The liberal media wants to set us up with another moderate linguine spine to lose again!

The 2012 presidential election is going to be all about Obama.  Thus, we need a candidate who understands this reality and will boldly go after Obama politically; someone with all American John Wayne true grit committed to Tea Party principles.  So far, our John Wayne is a Momma Grizzly.

As I said, it is a bit too early to formally endorse anyone.  Palin may or may not throw her hat into the ring.

Now, regarding the issues, Palin is pretty much on the same page as most of us tea party patriots; drill baby drill, smaller government and no new taxes.

And once again, I must cite her boldness and confidence when espousing her conservative beliefs.  You never see Palin dancing around questions from liberal media hacks trying to make her conservative ideas sound mean, heartless, stupid and racist.  It is extremely refreshing and encouraging to see someone on our side fearlessly challenging the liberal media!

And what about presidential charisma? In my nationwide travels on four Tea Party Express tours, in which Palin participated, nobody sparked excitement nor struck a stronger emotional chord with audiences at the rallies than Sarah Palin.  She is a rock star.  The people love her.

I pray that whomever we select as our presidential candidate will grasp the seriousness of the situation in which we find our country. Various potential Republican presidential candidates are good people with great conservative ideas to get our country back on track.  The most important critereon for a candidate to win my support is a willingness to launch a shock and awe all out assault on Obama's horrific record and terrifying agenda.

Obama has the bully pulpit of the Oval Office, his Democrat minions, racist black so-called civil rights groups and a sycophant liberal mainstream media, all working in concert for him to be reelected in 2012. America cannot survive another Republican presidential candidate committed to "playing nice" for fear of being called racist. As they say in AA, "Half measures avail us nothing".

If Obama is reelected in 2012, America as we know it is over. King Obama must be politically dethroned.

Cain has a lot to offer in this election, but with his cancers (survived liver and colon cancers, I believe), his lack of political victories (0-1 in a 2006 GOP Senate primary), and his hard-line position on abortion (none even in rape and incest), he’s not going to motivate the independents. However, he’s an almost ideal VP pick.

Yes, Cain would make a good VP pick.

His liver cancer was a Stage IV colon cancer metastasis. That's a very serious thing. But he has survived 5 years, while about 95% of those who have Stage IV colon cancer, don't. He would certainly have to hold a press conference with his doctor on the subject. Perhaps he has already done that and I haven't seen it.

Eggs ackley!

According to Peck an evil person is characterized by:

*Is consistently self deceiving, with the intent of avoiding guilt and maintaining a self image of perfection
*Deceives others as a consequence of their own self deception
*Projects his or her evils and sins onto very specific targets (scapegoats) while being apparently normal with everyone else (' the illustrated parents of 'Roger' displayed insensitivity toward him selectively ')
*Commonly hates with the pretense of love, for the purposes of self deception as much as deception of others
*Abuses political (emotional) power ("the imposition of one's will upon others by overt or covert coercion"
*Maintains a high level of respectability and lies incessantly in order to do so
*Is consistent in his or her sins. Evil persons are characterized not so much by the magnitude of their sins, but by their consistency (of destructiveness)
*Is unable to think from the viewpoint of their victim (scapegoat)
*Has a covert intolerance to criticism and other forms of narcissistic injury
Most evil people realize the evil deep within themselves but are unable to tolerate the pain of introspection or admit to themselves that they are evil. Thus, they constantly run away from their evil by putting themselves in a position of moral superiority and putting the focus of evil on others.

That said, where has such a person been over the last two years while Obama and the Democrats in Congress have been destroying our country?

Where was Sarah when the 3 GOP-controlled Houses were spending at a higher rate than Clinton? There were numerous GOP representatives who stood firm against those budgets.

Palin didn't run for president in 2008. She was picked as a VP candidate. Any "conservative" who stood firm on those budgets and who publically fought against those budgets would have been more qualified to run for president than the McRudyHuckaMitt candidates that did.

Yes I agree very nice!

Check this out (countering the charges of racism in the Tea Party Movement):

I am a black performer/activist traveling on my third national Tea Party Express tour. We just finished our rally in North Platte, NE.

Two white families asked me to hold their new born babies and pose for pictures.

Excited white grandparents who are fans of my articles and music asked me to pose for pictures with them and their grand kids.

Numerous white patriots shook my hand with tears in their eyes thanked me for what I was doing for our country.

A white woman who said she was 86 years old gave me a big hug in thanks for my efforts.

Polatik, our young Hispanic conservative rapper, got his usual huge positive response from the mostly older white crowd. These are the decent hard working great Americans, Waters, Rangel and the left continuously attempt to portray as racist.
Snipped from this article Black Dem Race Exploiters Trash Tea Party which included this picture:

There are more pictures at that link and the one below:

Meanwhile, even though this was from a positive Article, I got a chuckle over the caption for this picture:

Cancer is no big deal once you learn the realities.

Reagan had very successful “alternative” cancer therapy in Germany during his time in office, and so can any other president. Its the butcher shop approach that makes cancer deadly.

>> “It’s also a bad choice in that Johnson was fairly popular as an incumbent at that point.” <<

.
Not exactly.

What was happening was that the country had finally been pulled out of the Great Depression’s lingering doldrums by Kennedy’s tax cuts, and so the general outlook was fairly bright. The only dark cloud was Viet Nam, and the MSM attacked Goldwater for stating the obvious in that regard.

Just weeks after the election, Johnson proceeded to do exactly what Goldwater had said was necessary, and the MSM said nothing.

Her speech at the 2008 convention was one of the best political speeches I’ve ever heard. Well done, indeed.

GWB afforded [Obama] SS protection from the get-go. Won’t happen one bit for someone running for the republication nomination, for sure.

Correctamundo bump. Instead, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood will receive daily blast-faxes of the GOP candidate's daily schedule and itinerary, including security arrangements, frequencies, codewords, and photos of the Secret Service detail, private security and event staff, vehicles, and aircraft.
