As We See It: DC corruption and Sarah Palin

[Navy Patriot]

That is a poor choice of words or illustration.

Sarah Palin is one of the few persons that those words do not at all describe.

Use better.

[cripplecreek]

No kidding. Look at the way Michele Bachmann gets beat up with her “record of failure”.

[Navy Patriot]

Yes, and thanks for a much better analogy.

[cripplecreek]

I was never a Palin supporter but am a fan so it was not a big deal for me when she decided against running. Nothing has changed as far as I’m concerned, she’s still a very effective conservative voice.

[Jimmy Valentine]

So vicious death threats, against you and your children, a series of financially debilitating and taudry almost illegal lawsuits, a creepy interloper moving in next door to spy on you and then write a hateful book that even the New York Times totally panned,almost hourly smears and hate speech would not even give you pause?

Give it a think.

Establishment DemocRATS and Republicans both hate her and wish her dead or gone. The reason is that she writs pieces like this one that calls the sleazoids out for who and what they are.

Mine voted FOR TARP. He had two opponents in the primary but they had no name recognition...and only one should have run.

Redistricting will put me in a new district...new with no incumbent.

Washington has been invaded and is being run by a dictator who receives his orders from outside groups, arguably many people just won’t or cannot conceive that in any context, they think that foreign troops would be taking over and conquering our armed forces.

No the capture of America was performed by something else, something much more subtle and relentless.

As it is Sarah Palin has been or decided to just stay out of the way, she has more offensive weapons bt being mobile, she may very well become an underground leader that initiates a nationwide insurrection of Constitutionalists.

We have seen the OWS, the world hasn’t seen a truly organized army of Tea Party loyalists. Unlees someone has a better theme for how to gather patriots willing to clean up Washington.

I think Sarah Palin is a modern day George Washington trying to organize patriots to fight off and kick out the turncoats in Washington.

Git R Done!

Then who is? Bachman is the only one who has resisted co-option, but this has kept her from a leadership position the House. Cain has been defamed. Santorum is getting no where. Paul is as marginalized as Palin.

[dirtboy]

I really don't know the answer now. I am as undecided as I was three months ago.

I just don't think Newt is the right answer for this election cycle.

[grey_whiskers]

I wasn't living in Minnesota when he got elected.

(Of course, the place I *was* living then elected someone even worse. Not everyone gets to have lived in Alaska to have voted in Palin, sigh.)

Cheers!

Term limits are not the answer, the answer is no one is exempt from the law. i.e. All laws should apply to all, when the powerful are exempted, either by writ or influence, or wealth the body politic is tyrnaized and become serfs subject to the injustice of the powerful.

****As it is Sarah Palin has been or decided to just stay out of the way, she has more offensive weapons bt being mobile, she may very well become an underground leader that initiates a nationwide insurrection of Constitutionalists.****

By putting herself up as a possible candidate for President, she gathered lots of intel on who is doing what and how as far as the corruption goes.

This will be very valuable if the system does collapse soon. It may be that she sees an imminent collapse, and that she didn’t want to be in a position to be blamed for it. Giving cover for those who are to blame and the media has also been covering for.

If she intends to lead after a collapse, she will be well heard.

[Eye of Unk]

In all honesty she may not want to be a leader but the people will not organize under anyone else, after all the liberal left spent years vetting her, she is without a doubt well known for where she stands, cannot find a better person when the enemy puts you as their most formidable opponent.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

(It takes a village of idiots to elect a village idiot.)

Nice tagline..

[DoughtyOne]

I agree with your comments. Nice...

[Art in Idaho]

Still, I’m turning heavily in favor of term limits.

Imagine.

One term only, with many FReepers running!

[moose-matson]

I supported the lady and defended her tooth and nail from the rabid moonbats and rinos for three years, the lefties were right, she’s a quitter.

____________________________________

It wasn't just rabid moonbats, rinos and lefties who saw through her before you did...a lot of very Conservative freepers did too.

[moose-matson]

It was her supporters that kept raising the furor over her running; not Sarah.

_________________________________

Nonsense. Every time Palin bogarted an event or announcement by somebody who was running by showing up outside or around the corner...every time she played coy...every time she tweeted about the need for someone new...every time her organization spoke about a coming announcement she was setting the expectation and yanking your chain.

[reasonisfaith]

It’s gotta be said: the left doesn’t know Sarah Palin, they only know a caricature of her. Most of these editors think of Tina Fey when they hear the name Sarah Palin.

Just like the leftists’ understanding of conservatism in general—they have none. Only a vastly inaccurate stereotype.
