Do you see the RNC denying funds to RINO’s anytime soon under anyone’s leadership?
Do you see the RNC supporting a rock solid conservative challenging an entrenched career RINO in the primaries anytime soon?
By taking over a party, you mean we gain control of the RNC and tell the liberal Republicans that it is our way or the highway? No campaign funds for you?
Throughout history until recent times, the word man referred to both males and females.
Even in the Bible, it says God created man, male and female did he create them. IOW, it is completely proper for a woman to be referred to as a Chairman.
Precisely!

It is precisely why we like her so much, she is not one of them.
Okie dokie.
I’m down with that. ;o)
I don’t get this whole “reorient” nonsense. Never heard that term before, is the Republican party moving to Japan LOL
The GOP is in total disarray. At first when Michael Steele won RNC chair I was excited, because I knew how much he supported Sarah, thought he would be good for the party, then as time went on I saw him as just another one of the same crap we have now. Now I regret supporting him. He may like Sarah, but he doesn’t support Conservatism. Sarah is gonna blow the GOP out of the water, throwing out these RINO losers one by one. God I hope she can do this, I would forever be grateful for her and I think everyone here would be too. Sarah has the power to expose these clowns for what they are
What if there is no third party, but Sarah Palin can direct 40 million dollars in PAC money to where she thinks it would do the most good?
RNC can direct their money where they think it can do the most good.
The Republicans currently running away from Palin provide me with a litmus test. I like that.
If you think my post #61 is plausible, I’d like whatever you are drinking. Make it a double shot, I’ve got some catching up to do.
I am speaking in practical political terms here. A third party, particularly one that is based on a single, strong individual, cannot last, nor long compete. If Sarah Palin is strong enough to form a viable third party, she will be certainly strong enough to take over a weakened political party. Taking over on a major political party on the wane is something we Republicans know something about. We did it before. We can do it again.

The RNC is in trouble..no foolin. They have been in trouble for a long time now. They don’t know who the hell they are. One day they are Republicans bashing Obama, the next day they praise him, the next day they bash him, then they praise him. They are all over the damn place, like a chicken with it’s head cut off. Sarah wants no part of them. She wants to promote Conservatism and that’s it. Michael Steele is just trying to use her star power to make money. Sarah will say thanks but no thanks to that. I can tell from the many interviews she has done this week she wants nothing more to do with politics as usual in the GOP
"By taking over a party, you mean we gain control of the RNC and tell the liberal Republicans that it is our way or the highway? No campaign funds for you?"Yes, I do. Sarah Palin, unlike Steele, can generate political donations from her grassroot supporters. Once that comes into play, the corporte wing of the party, smelling a winner, will trudge along as well. It's the Golden Rule at play.

“You are wrong. They are afraid she is going to be controlling all the money that conservatives are going to donate to her PAC rather than the RNC.”
Bingo, we have a winner. How many of us (thousands, hundreds of thousands?) of us when called lately for a contribution to the RNC have told them, “not one red cent to you who will use our money to support a RINO over our choice.Thanks, but no thanks. We will use our own jack to help Conservatives only.”
Nugent Sec of State.
agreed. It’s just that with this call, he is really showing his weakness (which we already knew), and that’s a good thing. He is the one who gives the media the impression that the Republicans have no base and are in disarray. Oh, we have a base alright, it is just not the RNC and Steele.
If Sarah Palin can consolidate her support, she can either "go it alone", as you say, or take over the party. All I am saying is, it is much better to take over an exsisting political party while you move to the top rather than try to move to the top while going it alone.
Now, I have to leave it here...my mommy says it's way passed my bedtime.

I’ve been thinking about your post.
I thought I understood, but now I’m not sure.
Do you mean they are going to try to force her to go third party?
Re-orienting it, to me, means turning it back to it’s conservative roots, and I believe Sarah could so that. That’s why RINOS and liberals are so exorcised about her. They don’t WANT that to happen!
Unless that existing party is overrun with RATS!

In such a scenario, the bloodletting will be confined to the Palin conservatives versus the Republican conservatives, resulting in a dilution of conservative political strength, giving the political left a clear, unobstructed road to victory, chuckling all the way at our political stupidity.
In politics, you don’t win by dividing forces. You win by combining forces.
