I still think Mclame chose her because they thought it would destroy any chances of him winning. The establishment GOP did not want to win 2008. Turned out people loved her they almost won despite their efforts.
I am not sure what to make of this, but I do note that she didn’t close the door completely.
I still think she’s the only person we have on the Republican side that could potentially throw the base into overdrive.
Now, whether the RINOs running the Stupid Party would WANT to win with her at the helm — that’s another question.
She damn sure isn’t going to take VP, and I guess we just haven’t fallen far enough yet to see the need for a true conservative God-fearing rogue at the top of the ticket.
I have no puppy in this fight. It isn't about defeating Obama, it's about saving the Republic. The only way I see to do that, given the WEAK GOP candidates, is to start from the ground up and work to elect conservatives to local, state and Congressional office. Expose and block the next term's socialist agenda.
Gridlock for another 4 years? Yes.
If a weak GOP candidate is elected that candidate will bear the responsibility for whatever bad ensues. If that happens the socialists gain the upper hand in 2016.
Sometimes you have to stoop to conquer.
All that is unless a CONSERVATIVE candidate emerges before or during a deadlocked convention.
I fail to understand why people insist on believing this fantasy that Palin could somehow wind up as the GOP candidate
She has made it perfectly clear she isn’t running....
She can’t win for multiple reasons.....the powers that be from both left and right would never allow a Palin presidency to happen....
Would I vote for her?.....in a heartbeat
I’m pretty sure we could get 10m people to ask...
would that be motivating enough?
As much as I would like to see her sworn in as President of the United States, she’s not running (at least not this year). We have to do the best we can today, if we have an acceptable candidate. I’m leaning toward Newt and hoping he can close the deal with enough voters. If we really want her to run in 2016, we have to get out there in person and on the Internet, on news sites and blog sites, and defend her name and her values, correct the lies, and call out the sleazy attackers. We need to prove to her that America is ready to support her, and we need to convince the oblivious 80% to listen to her with an open mind.
I don’t understand why people don’t understand what Sarah simply is saying — the Establisment isn’t going to ask nor want her to be involved in a brokered convention - she said so a few weeks that the GOP establishment would NEVER come to her and she’s right, the only way she gets in is because the people demand that she be there
Heard Palin will run in 2016. Anyone else get that? Would that be because she could better handle the attacks on her kids because they would be old enough to handle it?
Today we were discussing Reagan, Thatcher, and Palin.
Similarities: plain talking, to-the-point liberal bashing, no nonsense cutting taxes and big government).
Differences: liberals can only "win" by marginalizing opponents through personal attacks because they can NEVER win the debate in the forum of ideas. They tried demeaning Reagan with things like "Bedtime for Bonzo" but nothing stuck. Could it be that they could not overcome the reality of Reagan's eight stellar years as CA Governor. This was a solid credential they couldn't get around. Palin was successfully marginalized by attacks on her children and by being cast as a lightweight. I wonder if she made a mistake by not staying in as Governor of Alaska all eight years. I think this could have given her the authoritative background to shut the left up.
Between Palin and Margret Thatcher: Palin did battle with the Left but did better in talking directly to the American people. Thatcher (and Reagan) spoiled for a fight with the Liberals and seemed to enjoy every minute of it and rarely didn't come away as the clear winner of the skirmish.
And I bet she sighed in relief.
She talkes a good game but when she might be asked to step down from her role as king maker and get dirty,she makes excuses as to why she wont be asked.
IMHO she let down the country and the party.
