“Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt thundered out those captivating words at his first inaugural speech in 1933. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney must seriously confront the political ghosts haunting his decision to let Sarah Palin speak at the GOP National Convention in August in Tampa, FL. Allow Palin to speak so that a Romney administration can turn economic retreat by Obama into economic advance.
This is the time when Romney has the opportunity to not fall into the carefully laid traps of liberal commentators like MSNBC Chris Matthews with his over the top hyperbole or his fellow liberal combatant-in-arms Lawrence O'Donnell. Each has never seemed to miss an opportunity to cast verbal grenades at Sarah Palin, since 2008. Their goal is quite simple, demonize Palin, the Tea Party and plant the seeds of distrust in the American consciousness that Palin and the Tea Party is kryptonite to Romney and in their crude way, also to America.
This liberal convention strategy is quite clear. They want fear of Sarah Palin to be the ongoing sound bite that reverberates in Romney’s mind. They want the truth about the horrendous economic affects that millions of Americans are feeling every single moment of every single day in their homes to be blurred out. They want Americans who are hurting in Ohio, Tennessee, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan and all over the nation to be hidden behind campaign advertising lies blasting daily in their homes. If Sarah Palin is added to this liberal narrative, then her ability to connect and motivate conservatives and millions of independents is neutralized by their calculated deceit. But you see, the “nameless, ...

Let Brown Bear Woman SPEAK!
No I will not vote for an abortionist for president. Period. It’s no secret. I’ve been posting that I will not vote for Rudy/Romney abortionist for many years.
Welcome to Free Republic, America’s exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives!
Romney does not qualify on any count!
Jim Robinson.
I concur 100%.
I’m pissed at all republicans for not letting Sarah Speak. My vote goes to Sarah wherever she is.
If Romney doesn’t let her speak, that nails it that he wants rid of the Tea Party as he has nothing in common with her or them. He’s a liberal and they are not. Evaluate his actions, not what he says.
Sarah Palin, a Republican is so, pro America...And Romney and and main street Republicans can not stand the sight nor sound of her...
When little George Bush became President, all the policy advisers from the Washington think tanks stayed...Same advice for the same policies from the same advisers that advised Clinton, and now Obama, and the soon to be the next President whether it be Obama or Romney...
They’ve sure got most of us duped...
What is toxic is to declare the republican vice presidential candidate from 3 1/2 years ago, who is the leader of the Reagan wing of the GOP, as too far right for a Romney GOP.
Romney has only won a single election in his life, and he left that office as a failure with 34% approval and no chance for reelection, and is the most liberal republican ever nominated for the presidency, he really doesn’t need to be going to war against the Reagan republicans.
He won't be going to war with anyone. Your post shows the animosity he has with most conservatives. Generally, conservatives will vote for him over Obama when push comes to shove. He must win over the majority of independents if he has any chance to win. That's just smart politics.
Declaring war against the republican base is not the key to victory, and to snub the next leading republican (to the actual nominee) in America, and the veep nominee from last time as unacceptable to the republican party is a snub to the Reagan wing of the party.
It is a clear signal that the fears were correct and that the Romney nomination is dedicated to permanently ending the Reagan/Palin battle against the Romney/Rockefeller wing of the GOP.
It shows that the GOP is anti-conservative.
It took me a minute... but that is some good stuff!

He doesn’t need to be the nominee... in fact... he is the worst possible choice... which is why the gop/e love the guy.
LLS
It wont happen
Shes a woman...
Wee Willies handlers in SLC, his money men, wont let him ...
even if he wanted to...
He must win over the majority of independents if he has any chance to win.
