Free Republic

Want to know why the Democrats in Congress are mumbling "f*** the president"?  Want to know why the Cancun mobsters are demanding world power for yesterday's climate fascism? This is Dunkirk, folks.  It's the Battles of Midway and Gettysburg rolled into one.  This is the watershed moment in history. This is where the Evil Empire gets its comeuppance. The next few years may be the most historic ones in our lives. The left is at the very peak of its power since the Evil Empire fell in 1991, with Obama occupying the White House today, surrounded by his commissars.  The...

She may not be an official candidate at this point, but former Sarah Palin will hit the airwaves in Iowa on Monday, and it’s not going to cost the former Alaska governor a dime. Tea Party of America -- a recently created group that is hosting a Palin-keynoted rally in the south-central Iowa town of Indianola on Sept. 3 -- is launching a major radio blitz in the nation’s first voting state to promote the prospective GOP presidential contender’s attendance at the event. Charlie Gruschow, a co-founder of the group who confirmed the ad buy to RealClearPolitics, said anyone interested...

GOP megastar Sarah Palin’s bus tour rumbled toward the Hub last night, driving into a Republican Party furor as her headline-grabbing East Coast trip threatened to overshadow today’s presidential announcement by party front-runner Mitt Romney. “She will certainly be in New Hampshire to rain on Mitt’s parade,” wrote Massachusetts GOP spokesman Tim Buckley in an e-mail obtained by the Herald. Bay State GOP officials confirmed yesterday that Buckley wrote the e-mail, but said it was a private exchange and not an official communication. “I guess she blew in with the storm,” sniffed state House minority leader Bradley H. Jones (R-North...

Sarah Palin via Twitter: Show photo as warning to others seeking America's destruction. No pussy-footing around, no politicking, no drama;it's part of the mission

Palin Doctrine? Sarah Palin spoke at a Tribute to the Troops at Colorado Christian University. "The Soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him. But because he loves those and what's behind him!"....G.K. Chesterton 1. We should only commit our forces when clear and vital American interest are at stake.2. IF we have to fight, we fight to win. We use overwhelming force, we only send in our troop into war with the objective to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible: We do not send in our military to stretch out the mission with an open-ended...

For a silly hick snowbilly who doesn’t know anything, whom loving and tolerant liberals call a “special needs case” in honor of the new civility, Sarah Palin is establishing a track record on the issues that is, over the past year or two, without equal. On Libya, Palin saw that indecision and lack of clear leadership would not do any good. We had to be in it to win it. So what our president said at first, that our mission is to see Qaddafi go, he’s got to go, but then we’re told by one of his top advisers, the...

As Sarah Palin addressed the Reagan 100 Celebration in California last night, I was almost distracted by her warm embrace of Reagan the man and what his vision and accomplishments meant to the country. There was no direct reference to the two Bush administrations, which spanned over half of the 22 years since the Gipper boarded the chopper bound for Rancho del Cielo...and his place both in history and in the hearts of his countrymen, who miss him so. Her address was both moving and pitch perfect. And while there was no direct reference to the two Bush Administrations or...

No wonder they hate her. Sarah Palin absolutely dismantled the president and his failing big government policies in her speech last night at the Reagan Ranch Center. It was a beautiful thing. Reuters reported: Republican Sarah Palin said on Friday an explosion of government spending and debt under President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats had put the United States on “the road to ruin.” In a tribute to former President Ronald Reagan, the potential 2012 White House contender said leaders in Washington had lost sight of the values that made Reagan a Republican icon and a hero to conservatives...

Gov. Palin rocked the place! Tickets were sold out months in advance. The ballroom seated 4,000. I decided to wait in line an hour and a half before the doors opened to get a good seat, and there were already 200 people in line when I got there. I felt I was there with "my peeps". I imagined that this felt what a Freeper convention would feel like! People were really happy, excited, thrilled to be going and I imagine if anyone had wanted to sell their tickets, they could have made a tidy sum. This audience, however, wasn't selling!...

Sarah Palin, it's great to hear an American voice again. Sarah is the product of her upbrining, her faith, and her experience. Sarah...a constant. I am one of those Americans who knows who he wants for the next President. Her name is Sarah Palin. Sarah's speaks clearly. You dont have to be a college graduate to understand her. You don't have to have taken political science at an Ivy League school to understand Sarah. You don't have to be dependent on government, like a drug addict, to love Sarah. Sarah's comments about Obama's State of the Government speech, and the...

As media outlets across the fruited plain float the notion that Sarah Palin hurt John McCain's chances of winning the White House, the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza will break with the herd on Sunday to dispel this nonsense. Imagine that. As the last of his "5 Myths About an Election of Mythic Proportions" slated for Sunday's print edition but already available at the paper's website, Cillizza parted with his fellow journalists who believe "McCain made a huge mistake in picking Sarah Palin": Love her or loathe her, the data appear somewhere close to conclusive that Palin did little to help...

SALEM, N.H. -- "Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!" Two days after her Democratic counterpart drew a comparatively intimate crowd of 600 people to a small basketball gym in Manchester, Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin filled the Salem High School football field to capacity last night with adoring supporters chanting her name. "Thank you for that warm welcome to the Granite State. I hope you don't take the beauty of your great state for granted," said Palin, opening her speech before a wildly enthusiastic and all-supportive crowd that Salem fire marshal Jeff Emmanuelson estimated to be about 7,000. "I've never seen anything like...

By Tim Graham (Bio | Archive) October 14, 2008 - 14:05 ET * [Email this to friend] * [Printer-friendly version] Rush Limbaugh inteviewed Sarah Palin Tuesday for about 10 minutes in the 1:30 half hour. On the media front, Limbaugh noted that unlike the media, "you are the one that is holding Barack Obama to account." He said that the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times both praised how Palin is "the most dynamic and forceful" speaker of all four candidates, but they claimed her forcefulness is "driving away moderates. This is an attempt to get you to...

Rush has Sarah on the Phone

By Shawn Steel CRP National Committeeman to the RNC October 4, 2008 Not since Ronald Reagan's final campaign rally at Orange County's Mile Square Park on the eve of the 1984 election, have thousands of Californian Republicans gathered. Neither Bush could do it. None of last year's Republican presidential candidates could fill the Home Depot Tennis Center. The Center has 13,000 court side seats. All those seats plus the suites were filled to capacity. Still thousands more were slowly streaming into the stadium quickly filled up the court yard. Thousands more found standing room around the rim of the stadium....

Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly believes GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin has brought the most energy and enthusiasm to the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan. And polls among white women are indicating the Alaska governor has revitalized the GOP campaign among that demographic. Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly says she personally knows delegates who went to the Republican National Convention (RNC) last week not planning to vote for John McCain -- but after hearing Sarah Palin's speech, were "standing up on chairs cheering for the McCain-Palin ticket." "I think it is energy and excitement that we haven't had in years. It's...

KANSAS CITY, Missouri-Missouri corn farmer Phil Vogler doesn't need to listen to any more campaign speeches or see more political ads to know who he will support in November's U.S. presidential election. Vogler's vote is going to Republican presidential nominee John McCain. The farmer cites as a key reason for his newly found enthusiasm not McCain's record but his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. "She helps. She is probably more conservative than McCain is," said 38-year-old Vogler, a self-described conservative who farms 2,000 acres in northwest Missouri. "She'll be good on the economy." Only weeks ago, rural America's 60...

FAIRBANKS -- Just before 5:30 p.m., long lines had formed for Alaska residents to get through security and into a fairly full hangar at the Alaska Republican Party's welcome home rally for Gov. Sarah Palin, who is due by 7 p.m.

For the women attending a campaign event in Lancaster County, Pa., Sarah Palin might as well be at the top of the Republican ticket. "I like the way she's going to bring Washington down to earth," said Erin Gilsbach, 30, who drove from Allentown with her sister, husband and two daughters to hear the Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee speak here Tuesday. "Everyone talks about it, but I get the feeling she's going to do it." That's exactly what worries Democrats, who see women in Pennsylvania and other states who might have voted for New York Sen. Hillary...
