If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in LOVE. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died. Rom 14:15
There are lots of reasons for Gov Palin to be President besides her being hated by the Establishment, although that is a pretty good one. The NE Corridor has determined she just doesn’t have what it takes like McCain and Barak did. The main criteria we need to choose our next Presidential candidate will be if they live outside the District of Corruption. This is the problem and the primary goal of the next leader will be to clean the swamp of corruption which means you will have to be an outsider and Palin’s porch is a half a world away from that Inner Circle. Besides Tina Fey just bought a new house and needs to pay for and President Palin would give her 8 more yrs of Palin and Conservatives are really, really stupid poopyheads, jokes. This would not only help America but our liberal “comedians” of not having material while their candidates are in office.
The other main issue will be to reverse the institutional laws and regs that have hamstrung our Country to open up capitalism to free market principles like freeing the energy industry to development of our resources. Who understands this more than Palin as the onetime member of the Oil Board in Alaska as well as one of the most effective Governors of that oil rich state? We also need a spokesman who can stand up to the pressures of the establishment who will face intense pressures from the Brie and Chablis crowd to moderate their stances to make them more appealing to the commiecrats. The next President is going to have to make some very difficult decisions on balancing the budget since playing Santa is over and the credit card has arrived. This will be what separates the Conservatives from the modeRats and absolutely critical in the next leader.
Now the echo chamber is repeating she doesn’t have the gravitas it takes to occupy the White House like Ohbummer does. Since most mediots don’t know much about histoir, as we see Ivy League education and leadership are usually polar opposites since the most educated were Carter, Clinton and Neville Chamberlin and the under educated were Churchill, Reagan, Truman, Kennedy and FDR well FDR was a dictator. To imagine that we would even bother to listen to the Stone Age Press as to who our nominee is should really tell us who to pick. They are attempting to Alinsky the Palin name so that the Conservative Country Clubbers will be too embarrassed to embrace her as a serious candidate just like they attempted to do with GW, Reagan and Eisenhower hoping we will pick another Republicrat loser. They want people the independents will vote for like McCain and Dole.
What terrifies the establishment on both sides is that she will become the Tea Party candidate. After she stood up to them and put her neck on the line for all the Tea Party nominees as well as bringing her crowds to the Tea Parties the last thing the Inner Circle could stand would be a Tea Party President. She would bring excitement to the race that has not been seen even by the messiah when the world was fooled by the establishment. This would be a true grassroots movement who would not be bought off by any outside lobbies. She would even be basically separate from the GOP as they have not done any favors for her or the candidates she supported. This terrifies them as they would lose complete control of everything.
The fact that she would be almost completely independent from any corrupting influences is a critical factor to her candidacy. Her shows and books allow her to be a person who has made herself personally wealthy to allow her more independence than most candidates enjoy. We have seen enough of leaders who are a part of one machine or the other and especially corrupt machines like Chicago or the NE corridor. Is the Tea Party ready to take over the DC cesspool and run the ultimate outsider? You betcha!
Now the Punditocracy feigns concern she isn’t a “serious” candidate since she quit as Gov and has a reality TV show. Not sure how either of those relate to your ability to lead a Country out of the malaise we are in now but much of the same was said about Gov Reagan when he went from movies to GE Theater as well as being a B actor who made “Bedtime for Bonzo”. They were mocking him for speaking too much politics in his hosting of a TV show that happened to pay more than most movies did during their time and led him to the Governorship. Then of course there was the knock on GW for being a Gov in a weak Gov state like TX. Seems the libs always have a reason candidates aren’t ready for prime time unless they’re Dems like Kerry, Carter and Kennedy?
The real reason they are terrified of Sister Sarah is what we saw in this election. We will hear how unelectable she is because she is too extreme for the precious Independents and women. Those are the same independents who voted for our candidates this election around 65-35 and women who voted for us for the first time since they got the vote. By nature moderates are followers who are looking for leaders willing to take a stand. The women changed to Repubs since we explained our values better than ever before and much of that reason is we ran more women than we ever have. We also won’t hear how the Tea Party movement is 55% women and heavily Independent and Conservative. This is a mix that is not only a winner but the death to the DNC victim politics. This is the real reason the Punditocracy will be trying to convince us she is unelectable and need to look at someone more “moderate” or beatable. Does the Tea Party compromise their values and beliefs in the Beltway or do they mine real Gold in Alaska w/Palin? They may want to add a pick and shovel to those tea bags.

To 17 - I’d give odds she does indeed have a reason. Abortion.
Really, we are melting down financially and have 15% unemployment and the only issue America cares about is an obscure Oceans Treaty. Then you finish by calling her McCain, pretty weak argument.
Now who is your candidate?
That little UN oceans treaty comes to a vote every couple years. US sovereignty used to be important to conservatives. I guess it isn’t anymore. So who cares?
I would choose Barbour or DeMint or Pence. They have never been for Cap and Trade. All of them kind of stink on amnesty, including Palin.
It really isn’t too hard.
So which candidate is on the right side to this treaty?
Really, hundreds of times. So you have to get your ping list of thugs to argue your weak arguments to stop these hundreds of argumnets. Must have missed something since all I am seeing is reasons why she will scare off all the moderates w/her extreme positions. So which is it?
Pray for America
You think that one up yourself? You should consider becoming a professional joke writer.
Glad you liked it.
Look, I am a realist, not a Stalinist. I despise Obama. I want whoever it is that is honest about their record.
Do you really believe that the people who oppose Palin in a primary are going to allow her to get away with being for these things without mention?
They may have no room to talk, but at least people know them.
When McCain chose Palin, she was an unknown commodity. He chose her, I think, in late August. She was sold as conservative. She is socially conservative. That is what he was looking for. Other than that, her record was a lot like him, she is a hell of a lot prettier than him too. Plus she was known as a maverick.
Palin is far from stupid. She does know how to connect with people. She saw what could sell. If she is going to connect, she at least needs to be honest about her record. She really is not all that conservative.
If you take notice, the GOP establishment does not pick on Palin or her record as Governor. Why is that? They don't because they don't have a problem with that.
If Palin ends up our nominee I will vote for her. Thats the most zeal I have for her. Once a candidate is picked in the primaries, I will vote against Obama.
Stalinist?
Every one of the people I can see that were pinged are hard-core, rock-ribbed Reaganites - Each one a respected and eloquent defender of ALL things Conservative, and considered personal FRiends of long standing.
Do you really think you advance your cause with such a brayzen lie?
To be sure, if they are not for Palin, it does my old heart good - because, as I would expect, they have not been moved to compromise the principles that they have stood upon as long as I have known them.
These are not Stalinists, but rather the very epitome of the force that opposes it.
I don’t think it was really “whining.” I was, however, scratching my head at some of the descriptions. “Conservative Country Clubbers” is an oxymoron. And what about Eisenhower as a candidate was not serious?
What the commentary does do is try to attribute a whole slew of things to Palin that I have never heard her affirm and introduces a bunch of irrelevant mumbo-jumbo that hardly qualify as criteria for evaluating presidential candidates (IMO.) So, in that, I agree with you that it is past time that she announce that she is running and make public exactly what her positions are. Then we will have something to discuss. As it is, all we really have is her past record and statements which, in many important areas, directly conflict with the caricature that her supporters are trying to paint.
And Bray — I am not a Stalinist, nor anti-Palin. Your insults strewn at some imaginary big-bad-enemy-group-of-freepers only undermines what credibility you may have.

Well said, roamer. Bump to everything you just said.
Thank you very much, roamer_1 !!
I have no other comment.
Our next President must NOT be a NWO/CFRer.
And, as a FIRST priority, our next President must IMMEDIATELY and EFFECTIVELY secure our borders and MUST NOT support ‘path-to-citizenship’ amnesty.
Our sovereignty and security MUST be our #1 issue. Without them...no other issues will matter.
Really, seems that I may have hit a nerve for your Stalinist thug tactics to silence anybody on FR who dares to say a positive thing about Palin. Guess we are getting a look at the tactics that will be in place for the next 10 yrs of the Palin Presidency.
You will notice I never went to find a group of thugs on a ping list like your dear leader. So who is trying to silence who? Now who is your candidate who I should be following?
Second, I have no credibility on FR but worlds more than you. How many years has she been in DC? Oh yeah, none which is my main point. Guess all us Tea Partiers are just easily duped by her charms ass opposed to your gang of thugs.
Pray for America
What was that again? I couldn't hear you over the sheep braying.
Please point out where I have used "Stalinist thug tactics" or tried to silence anyone. Since you can't, as roamer said, you are just spewing brayzen lies.
You will notice I never went to find a group of thugs on a ping list like your dear leader.
FYI, I have no leader. I am perfectly capable of thinking and acting on my own. And the people he pinged are not thugs. They are Conservatives. You are the only one here acting like a thug, calling others Stalinists.
Second, I have no credibility on FR but worlds more than you.
LOL. Yeah, right.
As a Conservative writer in Portland OR I have seen this thug tactic plenty of times before. I am happy to debate issues but when someone comes in w/a Ping list of thugs I call that a call to war and will respond accordingly. I have seen this Thug tactic plenty of times and will call it exactly what it is.
Your gang will go around here and call each other to shout down any positive posts for Palin. That is a thug censorship tactic. Clear enough for a braindead stalist thug?
15 yrs in Portland will give you plenty of opportunities to fight those who do not have the truth on their side and simply want discussion stopped.
If there was a FR during Reagan he would have been called Rino Ronnie.

Please point out where I have used "Stalinist thug tactics" or tried to silence anyone. Since you can't, as roamer said, you are just spewing brayzen lies.I don't really care what you have seen on other sites, or FR for that matter. That is not justification to post outright lies and smear a whole host of good conservatives in the process. You call yourself one; perhaps you should start acting like it.
Pot/Kettle/Black
You are the ones picking the fight, I’m just fighting back. You are also calling yourselves good Conservatives while starting fights with people you disagree w/all over FR. What is so good about that?
You want to argue issues or attack people, you decide. I ain’t the one bringing 50 people to every Palin thread, you punk thugs are.
