"You can throw Palin under the bus if you want, but what will you do when the next candidate faces blistering false accusations which drive negatives high after a mainstream media feeding frenzy?

There is an insatiable mainstream media hunger to demonize and marginalize potential Republican nominees. Feeding that beast in the wake of the Tucson shooting is not the way to win in 2012

One problem with the author's thesis.

Palin is the bus.

They know she’s inevitable.

They knew it the first time they saw her.

It's why they go insane every time they think of her.

ineluctable

To hell with all you Palin-hatin' Yankees.

We'll elect her President of the Republic of Texas.

Eat your hearts out.

And no, you can't have any oil or spaceships.

Why is such an announcement necessary now, at the very moment that the conservative movement is trying to fight back against the mainstream media campaign related to the Tucson shooting?

Fighting back against the mainstream media???

We're stomping the mainstream media into the dust.

Repubs never learn. Yes, every conservative candidate the media sees as a threat to winning the White House will be BS’d about ad nauseam, and then the Media picks the Milquetoast candidate for us to run.

She has both parties working against her. Too bad there wasn’t a party for conservatives.

This blog piece is written by either an ignorant dope, a Palin hater or a panic freak.

First off he writes as though the medias attempts to steer the country their way is working. If so explain the failure of the MSM’s work on blaming the right for the Giffords shooting, very low support for Obamacare, low support for Obama himself and the absolute disaster the Rats had in the midterms.

Second. He cites John Hinderaker at Powerline as reason to worry the narrative the MSM has put forth on Palin is working. This is not a go to blog for the pulse of the GOP and John Hinderaker has been shown to be questionable in his motives by Mark Levin.

All together this whole thing sucks.

“There is an insatiable mainstream media hunger to demonize and marginalize potential Republican nominees.”

Except the ones the dems want to run against.

I still remember 2008.

I love her, because she scares them.

(and, I love to see them scared.)

The only way to defeat the media is to stand up to them, again and again. There’s still plenty of time before the primaries. At some point people are going to weary of the punditry’s tantrums.

She’ll still be front and center.

We are beating this to death. We have 21 Months until the Election and at least three months until the field of players decide to show themselves.

If Palin throws her hat into the ring, she will end up on a Debate stage with the usual suspects and few newbies. Her ideas, as well as the ideas of her Foes will be debated.

If she holds her own, she will win over the Primary Voters. If not, we get who we get and it becomes Anybody But Obama instead of another Reagan Revolution.

Ultimately, Governor Palin will say yes or no. All this pontificating will not change whatever decision she makes.

Screw the Media, the Rats, the Rinos and the nutcase Liberals spewing their slander. If Sarah Palin runs the gauntlet and survives, I will follow her to the Gates of Hell.

If the Useful Idiots pick Obummer again in 2012, it will only prove that over half the Electorate is beyond redemption and the Country I grew up in is no more.

I want a true Conservative on stage debating the Marxist. I have only witnessed that twice in my life with President Reagan in 1980 and 1984. I would hope to see that same kind of debate with Sarah Palin or another true Conservative as our Candidate. I think 2012 is do or die.

This all reminds me of history repeating itself.

For those of you old enough to remember Barry Goldwater running - I was a child but still remember how scary that tv commercial (run by the dems) was, with the little girl picking daisies and then the atomic flash. It was chilling. I believe that commercial (which can still be viewed on you tube), in large part, defeated him in the presidential race. Now, of course, we know how well history has remembered him and he’s long since been vindicated from the left’s fear-mongering portrayal of him as a right-wing nut who wanted to nuke any/all enemies. He was the better choice and would’ve made a good president.

My dad, his political brother and many, many other conservatives supported Goldwater. It’s a shame how he was maligned and discredited in the eyes of the masses who decide elections, but I see the same sort of parallel happening (and growing) now, with Palin.

She’s young and has so much time in the future to run. Right now, we MUST assure that a second term of b. hussein obama doesn’t happen. Period. Whomever that takes to win the most votes.
