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.

First....and most important....I support Mrs. Palin's ideals, conservative positions, bravery and courage.

Further, should she become the candidate for President, I'll vote FOR her....immediately!

That said....
1. She's not announced any candidacy for the office.
2. At least as important, no natoinal poll, survey, or questionairre places her among the top 5 actual or potential candidates. Not even conservative polls.

And that is a very very difficult mountain to climb for her.

Those that support her are rabid and viscious in their support.

But at least at this time, there are not nearly enough of them.

What groups does Mrs Palin require "on her side"??
A majority of independants (at least 80%).
The black vote (and yes, there are independant black voters - so we don 't want to double count here) - at least 25% of that "block"
Conservative or right wing men under 50 years of age (yes, there are conservative, right wing, black men under 50 - again we must not double count)
Other "minority" groups (illegal voting aliens, mexicans, etc.) - at least 15% of them.
Women (at least 45% of all).
Skeptical, rino/repub voters that don't believe she can win and will sit out the election rather than vote for her (at least 80%).

I believe if she could gather this kind of support, she'd have a fighting chance.

Understand....the msm will never, under any circumstances support her. And the msm is powerful. No left winger will ever support her; most minority groups will not support her; and needless to say, the stains sycophantic followers will never support her. Indeed, many of them will actively attack her and her supporters. She will not be supported by the "intelligencia" of the right (the roves of the world).

If nothing else, she is devisive; she forces a person to "take sides".

The question then becomes: are there enough on her side to put her where she belongs? In the White House!

If you keep posting these photos I’m just going to have to buy a 32gb memory card for the Blackberry for the 2012 Palin campaign.

That question has occured to me many an occasion with the MSM, the overall media, but then I repeat myself bought and paid for by the Left, and as we’ve recently read mainly Soros.

The only answer I can come up with to get around the locked up communications is an alliance of private individuals emailing. TEA Party style. Get the underground working for us. Get the chain emails going to friends, who have other friends.

I think that would develop an attitude which is what we need in this country against the Left, an attitude.

Support the TEA Party, and email, communicate with friends, and family. Get the word out that fraud is rampant in the system, and it has to be prevented from succeeding.

Develop an attitude, and the Left will be toast no matter the amount of fraud.

Attitude is the answer IMO.

Republicans have never chosen as their nominee (at least not in many many years) someone who couldn’t be seen as the “top” Republican running.

Sarah Palin got instantly famous by getting picked for VP.
That won’t happen for anybody on this list before the Presidential nominee is picked.

Agree....agree....agree!

Grass roots is where it begins....and the fire must spread like....well....."wild fire"!

That said, we've simply got to gain traction in the liberally biased msm. I'm truthfully not sure at all how to do this. Without the msm, an important and powerful "mouthpiece" is not only not with us...but is virulently against us.

Where are the really big money folks on the right that could buy up some of the TV/Radio/Newpaper conglomerates and turn them around? Why is FOX the only one (and not all that strong on the conservative issues, IMHO)

Why did the rinos cave on the defunding of NPR/NPTV when they had the chance? NPR...the single most biased, liberal "mouthpiece" in the land....being handed conservative $$$ through taxes?

We've a very long way to go....and, as Jerry Reed once sang, "....a short time to get there."

Snip:
Rather, think of the Democratic Party as what it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.
Exactly.

SHE`s IN IT TO WIN IT..

Hey Bristol was asked if she would like her mother to be President (some time ago) she said that would be cool.

Her dad said she was not retreating but reloading. Todd was deeply offended when someone (I forget) would not say she was qualified to be President.

If her family is the only concern, seems to me that is not a problem?

“we’ve simply got to gain traction in the liberally biased msm. I’m truthfully not sure at all how to do this. Without the msm, an important and powerful “mouthpiece” is not only not with us...but is virulently against us.”

As I posted previously: “The only answer I can come up with to get around the locked up communications is an alliance of private individuals emailing. TEA Party style. Get the underground working for us. Get the chain emails going to friends, who have other friends.”

It’s the only way around the lock on the communications the Left has, and we had better use it quickly as they are working to ruin that as well.

Beautiful photo. Wonderful memory! I'll be thinking of Gitmo Sailor for a long while, whenever I see photos of Piper.

I believe that person who wouldn’t comment on whether she was qualified was 2010 Senatorial candidate Joe Miller In AK. The Palins withdrew their support and money for him after that and some think that’s a key reason why he lost the campain to Murkowski.
