'I can win': Sarah Palin on Cover of Newsweek

Newsweek via Facebook ^ | Sunday, July 10, 2011, July 18 cover date

[STARWISE]

Totally!

And I think her rating beat ALL state governor polls .. ever.

The libs will continue to distort and fabricate
that record .. and so, there must be now be an
immediate ‘war room’ response with the unvarnished
truth for Sarah and EVERY single pubbie candidate
for office.

This is going to be the bloodiest political war
season in history. God help us all.

[Norm Lenhart]

So you just like stirring crap up for attention? Y/N

[Windflier]

I would like to make a motion that Evening Star be water boarded...do I have a 2nd ???

I would second the motion, but I'm sure someone already has. Got a petition I can sign? LOL

[Spirit of Liberty]

In the photos of her at Rolling Thunder, she does not have on a wedding ring. Maybe she was bloated the day the photo was taken? (you women know what I’m talking about)

[EveningStar]

No.

I always vote for the Republican nominee for president in the general election, regardless of whether or not I supported him/her during the primary contest.

In the general election, it’s time to close ranks and be an adult.

I vote for the Republican.

I don’t vote for the Democrat.

I don’t vote third party.

I don’t “stay home.”

[Norm Lenhart]

Then why exactly are you spouting anti-Palin crap every chance you get? Something does not exactly add up here. If you are a Republican, act like one, not a friggin liberal.

[Finny]

She loves the spotlight, no question about that ...

I know lots of people who love the spotlight. I'd venture to say that just about every FReeper knows those kinds of people. Folks I know who love the spotlight -- the drama queens, the it's-all-about-me types, the family feud types, the show-offs, the know-it-alls, the hams -- are a totally different breed. Politicians who remind me in their ways of spotlight lovers? Well, McCain, for one. Obama. Biden. Gingrich. Pelosi. In honesty, Reagan loved the spotlight, too, but I always love that it was because he was such a master at being in it, not because he wanted to be noticed more than the others, which is what I think you mean when you say "love the spotlight."

So far, all she's proven to me is that she loves the celebrity life, but would not want the work involved in running for the nomination and presidency.

Now, please. THAT comment can only have come flying out of your butt. Look at her. This is a person all about work. Physically and mentally, this is a person who knows how to kick ass and take names.

*rolls eyes* "... not want the work involved ..." What planet do you live on -- your screen name?

[Windflier]

I’m of the opinion that even the worst picture of Palin is still beautiful. She has an inner beauty and an outer beauty

Not only can the left not bring Sarah Palin down with their scurrilous slanders, knocks, and untruths, they can't photoshop out the spirit that shines from within her beautiful face.

She is truly, The Undefeated.

Palin 2012 -- Game On!

[sickoflibs]

RE :"Well, I wouldn’t hold it against her if she spent more time raising her family... maybe the younger ones won’t be as short-changed as Bristol and Willow."

Even if she's the only one who can save this country as president?

[Norm Lenhart]

Are you going to start this crap again? Wasn’t embarrassing yourself once over this enough for you?

[Windflier]

No she can’t. She’s trailing in every poll head to head with Obama and it’s not even close.

And you trust that every polling firm is as pure as the driven snow - that they're wholly unaffected by any sort of liberal bias, and that the principals and employees are under no duress or pressure to steer toward, or to produce any particular result?

I ask you to recall how badly all of the major polling firms performed on election night, 2004, when they claimed (through exit polling) that Kerry was beating the stuffing out of George Bush.

Or, how about the 1980 race, when "all" of the polls showed Ronald Reagan losing to Jimmy Carter by at least 30%?

Now all of a sudden, when the left is confronted with a political figure who represents the greatest threat to their power that they've seen in nearly a lifetime - they've suddenly become honest and true?

Get a grip. Nothing's changed with these polling outfits. They're still doing the bidding of their masters, and hoping that most on our side still ignorantly trust them.

[Finny]

The media wants Romney, they think he will lose, so my opinion is a lot of these polls are rigged.

The left is perfecly okay with Romney even if he won. I think it's important for limited government socially conservative Republicans to fight against statists like Romney with the same agression as they fight Democrats.

More than the media wants Romney. He'd be a pliable placeholder for the next "Obama" (that was worse than Hillary, that was worse than Gore, that was worse than Bill Clinton, that was worse than Carter, etc. etc.)

Nice, "compassionate" statist Republicans like my beloved Dubya, HW., Nixon, God bless him (he was a great man, but dammit, Nixon is responsible for the creation of the EPA, for crying out loud!!!) led from disastrous liberal nightmare to the next ... looking back, Obama makes Clinton seem almost like Opie ... after four years of a big government statist Republican like Romney, the next liberal Democrat nightmare would make Obama look like Erkel.

I pray that the GOP ousts statists from places of power, and puts in conservatives who are simultaneously conservative in terms of limited, small government and free markets, as well as social conservatism such as "gay rights" and abortion. Limited government behooves a more moral society, just as it behooves a commercially more prosperous one.

The GOP must become the party that Americans flock to as the alternative to what's gone before. A Republican vote, anywhere, MUST be a vote for the guiding principles of smaller, limited government and greater freedom to prosper and pursue happiness within what our Founders understood was God's law -- with certain inalienable rights endowed by our Creator.

To the 'Underdog' Sarah - the most iconic "win" image ever...

[sickoflibs]

RE:”Are you going to start this crap again? Wasn’t embarrassing yourself once over this enough for you?”

Not sure I know what you mean, or really care. Something about you disagreeing with me.

So you have become interested in politics just recently? And Palin even more recently? Your interest in Palin seems to have gone from zero to hyperdrive in a few days. And after only a month you are SURE she is running for president, unlike some of those no good PDSers.

[riri]

I thought the same thing.

[Mozilla]

Why Newsweek? Didn’t they support Obama? Want socialism? Odd choice.

[Sic Parvis Magna]

Well, the only rigged poll I'm convinced I've seen thus far is the Azimuth Research Group's poll of Texas showing Ron Paul with the lead (because it appears that there is no such polling firm). Gallup, American Research Group, UNH, etc. are respected polling firms. PPP is a Democratic polling firm which has shown Romney leading in the GE in some states (PA & NH most recently), but there some questions about their methodology. Of course, if you look at these polls, there are still large numbers of undecideds, because most people are unenthused with the current field. That's one of the reasons I keep saying as of now, because a lot can change in the next several months: other candidates can enter, the undecideds begin to move and the donors begin to commit. Picking a winner at this point is like hitting a moving target; you just have to consider all the variables and take your shot.

[The Bronze Titan]

Here's a picture of a 'real' future President...

[Windflier]

The PDS crap is getting ridiculous.

Honestly, it's gotten as bad as any leftist troll droppings. If these people didn't claim to be conservatives, they'd be gone in a flash.

There really does seem to be some sort of double standard going on with the management's tolerance of these people's psychosis. I don't care what candidate (or potential candidate) we're talking about - this behavior is just intolerable to normal adults.

[Finny]

Now, hold on guys, I like a good RINO waterboarding as much as the next FReeper, but ... remember the value of these folks, whether they're sincere or whether they're paid ops. A lot of folks scan and lurk on these boards, as people do on all kinds of conservative comment boards. People like these ARE VALUABLE, I believe, because they illustrate so well the flaws in their candidates, as we are able to demonstrate here regularly. Back in 2008 and 2009, anyone referring to Free Republic, for example, picked up real fast that the Romney supporters were a certain kind of ugly and low.

I see the same in some PDSers, who knowingly ignore or twist truth ("She's a quitter!" "She brought a windfall profits tax on oil companies!") to promote their own candidate in Palin's stead. Hey, let it all hang out. Let them show their true natures. They're only fooling themselves.

Jim Robinson is so wise in mostly letting their voices be heard here, as he did with a lot of very colorful and vocal Romney supporters. They didn't help Romney, they hurt him.

I propose that it's the same thing with PDSers. Their behavior reflects on their candidates, and the truth will out. The don't hurt Palin, they help her.

Just a thought ... :^)
