Nor would she have let Peter Siingleton talk about a Palin presidency last night at dinner in front of a restaurant of people.

[Outlaw Woman]

Well I’m freakin’ trying.

You two must be reading things into what I wrote.

Except that he supports gay marriage/gay union, I would be glad with Bolton.

I’ll just not go there.

Another convert. ;) Next thing you’ll know, he’ll be signing up on FR!

I was proud to hear her attack the real enemy: Obama and the Dems, esp. Marxine Waters. As to the shysters in the GOP, from Fed Up!:

Republicans often aren’t on the right page- indeed, some aren’t even in the right chapter. But most are in the right book. Most Democrats today, on the other hand, can’t even find the library.” p.14

The truth is, I don’t care what party the statist is in. The fact of the matter is, it is the statist, and those who support or enable him, who is the problem. For too long he has undermined this country by empowering the national government at the expense of liberty. An America defined by the statist in Washington is an America doomed to fail. p.15. location 338

Our cause is simple: to restore the balance of power intended by our Founders but forsaken by secular progressives determined to say what government will do for the people rather than allowing people to do what they can do for themselves. Our goal is to take power away from Washington and instead empower states, communities, and individuals, because America’s future greatness is inextricably intertwined with states pushing back. p.16,location 355

Well worth repeating:

“Mrs. Palin smiles knowingly and remembers the words of Napoleon,.... “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”.... and General Patton,.... “Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy..... We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!”

‘When she arrives’,... you can count on total war..... She has learned how to fight..... She does not spin;.... she does not back away from principles;.... she means exactly what she says.....and says exactly what she means..... She builds a base of support because of who and what she is......not because of who or what she panders to.”

Probably, pins and needles don't you know!

Courtesy PING for when you’re off the water!!! It was a barn burner of a speech with very clear intentions!

[ReneeLynn]

Watched it on the link above. Good grief she HAS to run.

[GOPyouth]

Whenever you hear that, you need to remind them that it had nothing to do with not being able to take the heat. She’s been taking heat since September 2008.

Oh, I agree. I think very highly of Palin. She's my not first choice, but if she were to enter this race and win the nomination, I would gladly vote for her without any reservation.

That is such a 180 from 2008 when I gladly voted for Palin as VP, but held my nose on the McCain part of that ticket.

The press did such a hatchet job on her in 2008, and the McCain people did nothing to throw water on that fire. Granted, her Couric interview didn't help matters, but it's hard to come out swinging when the man in charge kept her restrained. I really do not like McCain because of that campaign.

I have a co-worker who is in her mid to upper 20s who has taken a leave of absence to work the ground in Iowa for Palin. I admire her drive to work for free up there. She's single and can do it. She was never in politics before 2008, but Palin did something to motive the hell out of her. I emailed her this week telling her how proud I am of her. She knows I'm a Perry guy, but knows that I am a big fan of Palin. My only fear is that the people like my friend will completely give up and sit out if Palin doesn't run. This is the risk Palin runs by waiting so long. Her supporters are waiting on pins and needles for this, and I hope they don't bad mouth her if she decides that a run isn't in the best interest to her and her family.

I've already started to see hints of that on here when the option of her endorsing Perry comes up. We'll see though. The water's warm, so hop on in.

Even though I went to see it in a theater, I think I will rent it tonight too!

Let’s all rent ‘The Undefeated’ tonight..send a message!

"There are no real negatives, only will o’ the wisp prefabs created in the minds of non thinkers."

Perfect wording. I'm saving it.

[caww]

I can’t see how any red-blooded American can fail to be moved by everything she said today.

[ozark hilljilly]

Let’s all rent ‘The Undefeated’ tonight..send a message!

That was my plan for tonite!!

[onyx]

THANK YOU, DEAR mojitojoe!!!

Somehow, I missed Logic n’ Reason's original post! It's awesome!

GO SARAH! WE WON'T SETTLE FOR LESS!

I had to backtrack to see what the heck was going on, and I'm rather surprised and disappointed by hocndoc's snark.

Outlaw Woman: Can you not get either of these two links?

Thank you sweety :) That was a quick run, you know me ;)

I will make a bit more detailed one soon.. and upload as JPG so it will be much smaller.. I like PNG because it never loses quality... but it is probably taking too much bandwidth for Jim and John Rob’s site :/

[Jane Long]

Sounds good! Waiting (not so) patiently for my copy to arrive. Until then...renting is a great idea.
