Palin 2016 and the Silly “Reality Show” Narrative
Conservatives4Palin ^ | March 22, 2013 | Steve Flesher

Posted on 03/22/2013 11:22:13 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Dustin Hawkins has a pretty decent article over at About.com under “U.S. Conservative Politics” titled “Should Sarah Palin Run in 2016?”

He begins by having a little fun with the left:

Democrats claim they would love for Sarah Palin to be the Republican nominee in 2016. They constantly write articles of her “irrelevancy,” and mock her and write story, after story, after story about her. Because that’s what you do with irrelevant people. Many Republicans are even wary of what her nomination would bring, noting that the media and entertainment industry assault on her has currently destroyed her public image.

He then notes her fearlessness when it comes to espousing her constitutionally-conservative positions:

If there is one thing about Palin, it is that she is not afraid to go after her opponents. She is tenacious. She would not back down. She would not apologize. She would not have conservatives hopping mad in her refusal to go on offense. McCain and Romney played nice while candidate Obama pounded them into the ground.

He then talks about the possible Palin-Clinton matchup:

She [Hillary Clinton] will get a free pass [on Benghazi], and the only person who can change the narrative is the nominee for president. But that nominee must also be willing to change the narrative. Palin might lose. But a week-kneed and “safe” Republican would be but a sacrificial lamb in the electoral slaughter that would be headed the Republican’s way.

He goes on to talk about what he calls a “myth” that people don’t like Governor Palin.

Many think a Palin candidacy would be DOA because of her poll numbers. But are those poll numbers a reflection of what people actually have seen of Palin or just a reflection of the portrayal and constant mocking.......

Correct. But the article inside, from February 2, 2008, shows she was beginning to gather attention outside of Alaska.

She's not an illuminati satanic lizard.

That's why the GOP will not back her.

That's why we won't back the GOP!

Your screen name is so false. It should be Crybaby Conservative, you and your "Our fellow Countrymen have disappointed me more than I could have ever imagined...."

You are also gullible in your self-pity. You actually believe that your fellow Countrymen voted for this crap. Hello? Why do Democrats have to cheat to win? Why do they have to gin and manufacture and spin and manipulate and harvest and multiply votes? Because if they didn't, they'd lose. Why? Because MOST OF YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN REJECT THEM AT THE BALLOT BOX AS DO YOU AND I.

"Kickass" my foot. You belong to the Hudson Brigade: "Game over, man! Game over!"

I have news for you. Your and Rush's "Realville" is pure fiction. In you guys' "Realville," most Americans are contemptible child-like morons at the ballot box who vote for Santa Claus. In your "Realville," conservatives -- even the ones hyphenated as libertarian -- are smart to vote FOR the guy who grandfathered Obamacare, who created law punishing adoption agencies for refusing to cooperate with gay men pretending to be Ozzie and Harriet, who is 100 percent on-board with the Global Warming statist overtake of energy and food production, who is 100 percent for tax-funded on-demand abortion, who is 100 percent on board with the homosexual agenda, and who was very big on liberal activist judges. In your "Realville," he was not only viable, he was electable, and in your "Realville," imagary voters ginned by Democrats are real.

You and Rush don't live in Realville, you live in Contempt for Fellow Americans ville. Anybody who believes that the majority of Americans are idiot children, is a guaranteed LOSER.

Geez Finny, are you telling me you weren't disappointed in your fellow Citizens that Voted for Obama and the rest of his merry Commies, not once, but twice? Ignorance is 2008 turned into Stupidity in 2012, but the results are the same.

Didn't mean to set you off, but I think you are reading something into my Posts that just isn't there.

I'll take up your suggestion that I change my FR handle, if you can do that. Not really, just wanted to give you a ray of sunshine, which is something we do not have in this Country at the moment.

If you believe that there was enough Voter Fraud that would have changed the results of the 2008 and 2012 Elections, dig up the FACTS and present them to your Elected Representatives. Yelling at me won't change a thing.

The Santa Claus Voters did what they did and we are reaping the rewards of their handiwork. That is Realville, but the reality is we will be living in Obamaville long after he is gone thanks to Obamacare and the mere fact that a majority of the American People, as well as the Illegal Invaders, think that someone else owes them a living.

As Mark Levin said Friday, the DemonRATs succeeded in doing enough damage in two years that will take forty years to correct. We should never let them take power like that again. They are a lethal threat to this nation.

The Hildebeast has in her lair as Secretary of State, been fully seasoned by the far Left Communists who have infiltrated the reigns of power in our nation. I am sure she has got extra schooling from her fellow travelers in countries around the world. She is well seasoned, much like Zer0

The Hildebeast, along with the rest of the Marxist Syndicate thugs, have their agenda set. They spat out Obamacare at the last minute and had it passed without time to read a word of it. They don’t care if anything is wrong with it. It is the Communist agenda and you will have it stuffed down your throat (or where the sun does not shine) whether you understand it, have objection to it, see it as unconstitutional, or have not had time to read it. The main point here is that the Hildebeast has signed on to the entire plan. Now they have Benghasi Gate to hold over her head to keep her Hildebeast self in line.
