Free Republic

Here is the why Romney will be the republican nominee and why Perry or Cain or Bachmann will not save the republicans. Romney is moving left on global warming and staying the course on Romneycare and you will see him take his natural left positions on other issues as the campaign gets underway. His goal is to attract as many democrat voters into the republican open primaries as possible to vote for him. Meanwhile , Bachmann has been brought into the race by the establishment as well as Cain who has no idea. Perry is coming in too. This is...

On the day of the release of “Undefeated”, the new Sarah Palin movie, The Stakes are high indeed It’s an amazing, somewhat frightening time that we live in today. We are witnessing the slow but steady collapse of the US economic system that’s been in place since the end of WW2. Does anyone really think that gas prices won’t continue to rise? Energy prices won’t “necessarily skyrocket”? Housing prices won’t continue to crater? Foreclosures won’t continue to blight the entire housing market? On the World stage, the Arab Spring has become a scary echo of Europe circa 1938, with Jews...

As even the pundits are beginning to acknowledge, their two year long campaign to keep Sarah Palin out of the 2012 Presidential election has failed. She is going to run. Even the likes of Karl Rove acknowledge it at this point. Their strategy for stopping her will now shift in focus, but it will remain essentially the same. Smear and distract. The Establishment of both parties will continue the relentless ad hominems against her that have so far fallen like spent bullets at her feet. And they will try to distract her in any way possible by raising issues of...

I have been a casual observer of polls for over three decades, since early 1979 (about the same time in the 1980 election cycle as we find ourselves in the 2012 cycle) when Jimmy Carter was posting a 57-35 lead over Ronald Reagan in the respected Gallup poll. Carter maintained double digits leads over Reagan throughout 1979 and even into the spring of 1980, as the March 31, 1980 edition of time observed. ("National opinion polls continue to show Carter leading Reagan by an apparently comfortable margin of about 25%.") Early polls of general election contests (19 months out) are...

Governor Palin must be the GOP nominee because of energy. Energy will arguably be the top issue facing America in 2012. The rise in fuel prices also brings about a rise in commodity and food prices, as those products are trucked, shipped, and flown to their destinations. I work in transportation logistics, and I can tell you first hand that fuel prices are so high, drivers for most of the carriers my account is contracted to are refusing to haul freight unless they get additional money for fuel. There are over 6,000 products made from petroleum. Here is a partial...

We are within hours of Sarah Palin's speeech to the Indian conclave. I thought it would be interesting to look back at where Palin has come from and what the pundits, pollsters and history have said about her foreign affairs/national security qualifications or lack of qualifications: The top 10 quotes or events regarding Sarah Palin's foreign affairs experience: 1)Charles Krauthammer July 2009 "...She is NOT a serious candidate for the presidency. She had to go home and study and spend a lot of time on issues in which she was not adept last year and she hasn't. She has to...

This post is written in response to the piece written today by Nicole Coulter at conservatives4palin.com: UNFINISHED BUSINESS: WHY GOVERNOR PALIN WILL MOP THE FLOOR WITH THE GOP, THEN WAX OBAMA http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/03/unfinished-business-why-governor-palin-will-mop-the-floor-with-the-gop-then-wax-obama.html Nicole, whenever I think of the possibility of "regime change", I watch a documentary or movie on Adolf Hitler, and I especially focus on his mesmerizing speeches and speaking ability, the impact his demagoguery had in seducing the masses and how his words and views came to eventually represent the Zeitgeist of the German nation. And if anything, it has always brought home to me how difficult it...

Freepers?.......and Sarah, Madam President, if you are listening............, "IT'S TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH" Campaign slogan or not? I know it is really too long, so maybe "Tell the truth", but I think that has less impact, than "It's time".....

Over at conservatives4palin.com a couple of days ago I went out on a limb in response to a skeptic that felt Sarah Palin would not run for POTUS in 2012 and suggested that I could name 50 reasons why Sarah Palin would run for President. Well as I am a person of my word here are those 50 reasons, some understandable and some a little more obscure. Nevertheless, I believe that sometime since 2008 Sarah Palin has considered each one of these issues as she has gotten closer to making the ultimate decision to throw her hat into the ring....

As 2012 approaches, the State of the Union is grave indeed. Our economy is principally threatened by an explosion of federal spending which, if left unchecked, will bury us all in a red inked sea of hyper-inflation, chronic double digit unemployment and shortages. The America we grew up in will cease to exist. Two things seem to me to be essential: 1) A leader with a steel spine who is both principled and fearless in attacking the Leviathan and all its shibboleths; and 2) A platform, a mandate and policies that will both starve and neuter the federal government. In...

I am so sick and tired of hearing people say that Sarah Palin is not "Presidential". Someone, please tell me what the hell people mean when they say that? I mean, as much as I loved the guy, George W. sure as heck wasn't "Presidential". Barack Obama, the Marxist scumbag that he is, sure as hell isn't Presidential. So, please explain to me what is meant by "not Presidential". And, tell me, who in the GOP is "Presidential"? Do you have to be a Washington "insider" for a gazillion years to be "Presidential"???

Good Lord willing. When Gabrielle Giffords is able to recover enough to read, she will have letters from people like Sarah Palin and many other high profile people. She will also get thousands or millions of letters from regular people all over the world. There will probably be more than Gabrielle can read. But we all need to make sure we ALL send letters and emails. And send letters to all of the victims and their family if we can find a way. Our prayers are working. Keep praying

I have not posted a vanity for awhile now and I post this in good faith. I was thinking earlier about what the politcal lands would look like with Sarah Palin not in the next Presidential race. I don't think it would be good. I think she has a duty to run unless family reasons dictate otherwise. I hope and pray that she is not buying the media narritive that she is unelectable. I know she is a very smart person. But I hope she has more confidence than to give any thought to the idea that she might not...

This thread is only for freepers who want Sarah Palin to be President in 2012. Please all (TROLLS)other stay out.

I watched the debate between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman. The commercials run by Carly Fiorina were interrupted twice, maybe three times in the post debate broadcast on Channel 4 NBC. Did anybody else catch that? Carly's latest ad is POWERFUL! (She should request an immediate audit of the broadcast, an apology, and a comp of time in the prime time before the election ....

To all who support Sarah Palin. Please do not support or send money to anyone that rejects her in the future. Do not support the RNC. Send your money to SarahPac. To all of those who don't support Sarah Palin. I am seeing far too many people buy into the idea that she is not ready to be President. My question is this, What more does she have to do to be ready ? She already has excutive experiance. She is a great leader. I see no reason that she could not be a great President. What makes you think...

I have two concerns that I think the tea parties should NOT become (we should fight these anyway). 1. they should not primarily become movements to support the Republican Party, alone, and for Republicans to regain political power (though that doesn't preclude any one member or a group from supporting Republicans where they agree with US). 2. These tea parties are not about any ONE individual, either to demonize or for one person (or organization) to "lead", they are about citizenship leadership, spontaneity, and just FED UP Americans, we can not allow any one person to become leader to "dictate"...

Most FReepers have probably seen the previews. Movie heading our way this weekend, a hollywoodish gayish looking terrorist alien, arrives on Earth and begins wreaking havoc with humans. I think I figured out what the story line is gonna be: (so please, nobody has to spend good money to go and support this sort of liberal pap!)

36-0 WHOOOOOOOOO. Thank God, I can go to work Monday. I've been letting my mouth overload my hind-quarters, and it would have been embarassing if the Tide had lost, or even if the Tigers had held it close. Bring on the Gators.

The concept that "Bush hurt McCain" in the election is utter nonsense and fabrication by the MSM. If anything, McCain hurt Bush with his constant obstruction because of his bitterness for the 2000 primary outcome. McCain-Feingold was the ultimate "came back to bite him in the butt" logic, and this sort of stubbornness by McCain also took out a chunk of the Republican party along with it. Case and point: The bailout McCain approved. This was McCain's one chance to stand for conservative principles. Instead, what did he do? He supported it, and furthermore, he extended the idea in the...
