Winning the presidency has a lot more to do with the charisma of the leader than it does with the policies that are brought to the American dinner table. Just look at the last sorrowful example the country was saddled with in 2008 with the current president. There is reportedly, current intrigue moving about in the backrooms of GOP political leadership within Romney’s campaign concerning Sarah Palin. It is suggested that Romney is sitting pat on the idea of not issuing Sarah Palin VIP credentials to the August RNC Convention in Tampa, let alone giving her any real speaking role.
The pundits and Palin detractors having been speaking recently about how toxic the idea would be to let a energized Sarah Palin speech loose upon the conventioneers and of course, into millions of American homes across the nation. There are even those within the Republican establishment who want to hang everything that went so badly south in the John McCain 2008 presidential run at the feet of Sarah Palin. Of course the accusation is absolutely unfounded.
Whatever went badly for Senator McCain had more to do with his own inability to project leadership, than it had to do with smarmy characterizations of Sarah Palin by comedienne Tina Fey portrayal of Palin in Saturday Night Live sketches. Or gotcha sophomoric media antics of then CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric.
What has happened since then is a course correction in the grassroots embodied in the emergence of the Tea Party. Its power and strength was given birth out of the out of the president’s failure to lead, except through growing taxation, and failing trillion dollar bailout deficit policies.
Millions of grassroots people became patriots with a principled purpose, in small towns, farming communities, suburbs and cities. They refused to be ...

You don’t read well.
The senators are always going to pick the judges, and who will depend on what senator has seniority in the district.
>> “ I am pretty sure Sarah calls herself a conservative not a Republican.” <<

You couldn’t be more wrong. Sarah Palin is a loyal Republican.

You know absolutely nothing of the political processes in this country!
The senior senator in the judicial district of the retiring judge has always picked the replacement, and the President accepts that nominee and formally nominates that judge. Then the senate holds confirmation hearings.
That is the way it has always been done.
My Gawd, if that's not the truth. Buncha girly men if I've ever seen some. Stupid, rotten, fascist, smug, elitist girly men. Shooting themselves in the ... okay... FOOT... anytime they get the chance.
I doubt the lack of an invite upsets her much.
Also true, and yet another reason conservatives respect her.
Interesting so tell me what senior senator wanted Harriet Miers to sit on the Supreme Court?
No, she refused to bow to baal, so no invite.
I’m happy about that - she’s not tainted by the Romney filth! Good has nothing to do w/evil.
Not to worry, your saint Romney would never think of lying or stabbing you in the back - so don’t stay up nights worrying about your saint romney. Just bow to him, that’s all he requires.
He decide to run and came through fire to get your vote and will return to fire with it. Sweet dreams!
You really think that? She is LOYAL to God and NOT to a party. So you couldn't be more wrong. She has her priorities straight - unlike the masses!
Longtime follower, posting for the first time, appreciative of this forum.
Romney NEEDS Palin. Palin inspires conservatives, Romney inspires nobody. Palin respects the Constitution and America, Romney respects only power. Palin worships the one and only GOD, Romney worships himself. I would hope the Republican Party recognizes that WE THE PEOPLE wish to return America to its Christian roots.
That being said, if Romney continues to snub conservatives and if he proves incapable of beating Obama in November, at the very least, I hope it allows us to purge the Republican Party of RINOs once and for all.
I actually see her laughing about it. Sarah draws crowds that want to see and hear her - and they will have NONE of that - Patriotism, Our Constitution, not being for sale, not bowing to baal but standing for good.
A speech by Sarah would thrill everyone in the hall, and they'd leave saying the same thing they did in 1976 after Reagan's powerful off-the-cuff speech that Ford asked him to give ....
"We nominated the wrong man."
She has stated herself many times that she is a Republican, and has no intention of changing.
Why would you not believe her?
Tell me, have you forgotten the outrage from the Meyers debacle?
You’ve really picked a poor example if you have some obscure point to make.
When the president doesn’t go along with tradition, its always a debacle.
Thats fine. Then let her stand outside the convention and make her spee ch. You would do the same thng.
“But alas, one of her children didn’t want her to. Screw America that really, really needed her.”
I feel the same way. Palin had her moment to act on her patriotism and make the sacrifice she’s asking others to make - to be a true leader and set an example, if nothing else. But she bailed. All of her words ring hollow after that.
I wouldn’t say she’s yet another self-aggrandizing conservative TV/radio celebrity making moolah of our collective angst, but she’s drifted in that direction.
We dont need any more speeches and celebrities. We need leaders.
I have been hearing that sorry tail on MSNBC Maddow who loves it.
I don't consider Ron Paul a serious figure at all. He acts much more like another cult figure than anyone who is serious about having responsibility..
So if those who want Palin drama at the convention see her as a cult figure (and I see no one here admitting that that think both) as I see Paul then using Paul as an role model for Palin makes perfect sense to me.
Which one didn’t want her to run , that Bristol?
Thanks a lot Bristol for destroying America you moron.
