Sarah Palin for President? A 2016 comeback that shouldn’t happen
Philadelphia Magazine ^ | November 19, 2012 | Joel Mathis

One good thing about President Obama’s re-election: It seems to have prompted some sober thinking by Republican Party leaders and allies. Oh sure, there’s been some loose talk of secession, but mostly what you’ve found is top GOP leaders trying to figure out how to broaden the GOP’s appeal and shed its reputation for anti-intellectualism while staying true to their conservative values. This is a good thing.

One sure way for Republicans to blow it: If Sarah Palin runs for president.

You might’ve thought Palin’s political career pretty much ended when she decided not to run for president against a week GOP primary field in 2012. Her supporters were certainly eager to see her run, and the other candidates were clearly terrified that she’d jump in. But she stayed out, made frequent appearances on Fox News, and that seemed that.

Until Sunday, that is, when conservative writer Charlotte Allen took to the pages of the Los Angeles Times and urged Palin to run in 2016.

Why? Well, because unlike boring old Mitt Romney, apparently, Sarah Palin won’t try to appeal to voters on the basis of issues. She’s a good old-fashioned demagogue. She’ll appeal to their hearts, and their penises...

The lack of freedom to deride, ridicule and sometimes smack communists, fags, flag burners, snarky liberal wimps and other worthless members of society coincides with my realization that this country needs a major reset.

I can't do it from the grave (I don't think) but other than that... LOL If everyone had read it, seen 2016 and read Atlas Shrugs or Common Sense do you think Mr. Obama would have been re-elected?

I wish Mrs. Palin would just hint at it enough to drive the left bat-$#!t crazy!

Imagine all the attention coming away from the pos occupying the WH? He would throw a hissy fit.

Sarah Palin for President? A 2016 comeback
Oh yea sure right ..that’s a good idea ...NOT
The right will be loosing forever until it gets balls , gets tough and adopts the VERY VERY highly successful methods of the left in order to get what it wants .
Until then we’ll continue to have ghetto trash and Marxist in power

This from a member of the party that just appealed to women to vote for them with their "lady parts" and they seem to only want free birth control and abortions....

Oh, the irony.

I love this thread. It makes me feel like putting on my warpaint and doing a rebel yell. I'm sick to death of all the hand wringing and 'we're doomed' posts around here. F**k that!

Ronaldus Magnus could have been brought back in place of Romney and this country would have voted for the purple lipped....soley because of the Soros Bought Media (SBM).

We lost the media, we lost the advantage....for NOW!

This will be a long fight, folks...settle in and prepare.

Nope. Short time.

When the SHTF and the world mirrors Road Warrior, one group of people does things like stockpile. One group lives moment to moment.

One has more than a passing familiarity with self sufficency. One relies all but exclusively on the support of the ‘village’.

One can survive a weekend camping trip in a tent. One requires an Airstream and access to cell phoned pizza delivery.

Nope. Not more than 2 months at the outside. When the Prozac and other psyochotropic withdrawls kick in, say nothing of the narcotic, there will be far fewer of them to keep on keepin on.

And there numbers are pretty gun averse.

Gonna suck to be them. Much more than to be ‘us’.

Perhaps not, but we have to confront the fact that only a tireless, irate minority will ever secure the blessings of liberty that our forefathers bequeathed to us. Such has it ever been.

Fight Back!

Good grief. Not even a month past the last election and they already start attacking Palin. They are sure scared of her.

The GOP-e "brain trust," you mean, or the 'Rats...?

(... or is there even any significant difference between the two, any longer?)

All mine were lost in the desert years ago. I was out 4wheeling one day and a bunch of robed swarthy men robbed me and told me if I reported them my family would be killed.

Since I did not want to be thought a racist, I surrendered all my guns to them and sat quietly in fear to this very day.

I sure do miss them all. The guns I mean.
