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.

How do we prevent that kind of massive voter fraud in the next election?
Aggression. Push back. Slap the “H” out of them when they cry “disenfranchisement”. Be just as mocking, as aggressive, as they are, but push harder than them. Don’t sit by twiddling our thumbs wondering what to do.
Best defense is a good offense. Kick their collective behinder’s.
Seriously...No more Mr. Nice Guy. It’s the only way to deal with radicals.

The idiot savant media is shooting themselves in the foot by calling the R field lackluster and without any star power. All they are doing is paving the way for Sarah to outshine them all.

They merely used video from a previous interview to advertise a future one.

Indeed it is.
Voter ID laws in all 57 (sic) states would help too.
After being polite and allowing ourselves to be bullied into silence for too long, we must fire back at them with their own ammo.
They must never steal another election.

The Leader of the Pack. Game on!

However, you left out one very important detail. Coincidently, it's one that is "left out" by most professional politicians (regardless of level). It is a very simple question, but involves a detailed, complex and probably lengthy answer. The answer will also generate controversy, anger, and challenge.
OK?? Here's the question: HOW
And please, be specific. You might want to refer to Saul Alinski's "Rules for Radicals" to assist with the thought process.

Simply put, the DNC/RNC/MSM CANNOT have Sarah in the race. It’s one thing to fantasize “what ifs” or “will they run” it’s another thing when said person runs and it takes a life of its own.
1992: Bush 41 at 89% approval only to flame out to Bubba
2008: Hillary’s “coronation” got whackec by “Mr. I Vote Present”
They CANNOT afford to have her in the RNC debates
They CANNOT afford to have her stumping and handshaking
They CANNOT afford to have her winning primaries
They CANNOT afford to have her accepting the RNC nomination at St. Petersburg with a nation-wide audience.
They CANNOT afford to have her one-on-one against Obama in a nation-wide debate(s). Oh gawd, that just CAN’T happen. Obama thinks he’s a great orator but in a free flowing debate (minus the TOTUS) he’s a fish out of water.
They simply can’t take that chance. Period. Zip-zero-nada. It’s like the playoffs. How many times have we seen an “underdog” catch a spark and take it to the top? It’s pretty freakin amazing when the status quo folks get bitch slapped like a $5 tart.
To get an idea why the elites hate her, just check out this article: “I still hate you Sarah Palin” by David Kahane.
