Thanks for the compliment,Vin
As for your site.....your first essay said a hell of a lot...and said it well.......and the Videos were spot on for the season....I commend your guts putting it up and having to listen to no-talents like me commenting on it.....such is the price of fame!
Palin is a populist because unlike Wash DC GOP she does not fully trust corporate America. Look how she broke up their old boys network/deal when it came to bidding on pipeline leases. Today she is embroiled in a legal fight with Exxon because they were givened leases on land to drill oil. Oil was discovered and Alaska assumed Exxon will drill and create revenue for the state. Instead Exxon refuses to drill despite the energy crisis. Now Alaska is finding a way to take the lease away from Exxon and give it to another bidder who will immediately drill for oil and gas. That is why she resonates with me, she knows what life is like for the blue collar (her husband is one) and she knows that the US has resources to produce jobs for them (not like globalist GOP who would find ways to export our jobs overseas and the Dem environmentalist that will prevent job creation). Palin in 2012!!!!!
Ronald Reagan referred to himself as a populist, so I'd reckon Gov. Palin is in pretty good company.
I salute that! I would love to make AK my annual vacation this year as well! :)
Great Lilpug15!! Now we just need to fill up the charter flight with 50 more freepers. Maybe this summer. I’ll keep you posted on the growth of interest.
I wish I had taken that National Review cruise to Alaska a few summers back. I understand some folks on that trip had a chance to meet the Guv.
Besides, nothing is set in stone. If we don't go this summer we have two more before the real war starts in 2012.
And the more I think about it the more I would like to make it some type of freeper event. It would be great to meet in person all the folks we meet on line and to do it with a purpose to meet SP is an added bonus. If it does get a little traction I will talk to big Jim Robinson for his blessing.
You're on the top of my list for all alerts if this idea goes anywhere.
Check out Posts 100 and above. In as much as you are the unofficial leader of our little ban of Sarahphiles I would like your feedback, and those of your ping list, if the idea makes any sense and has any interest among the team. Feel free to add/subtract/modify/expand/reduce what we are talking about
Thanks, mick
Post 86- Magnificent!
This is the point I am trying to make, the left don’t bash Huckabee, they don’t say anything nasty about Romney, or Sanford, or Jindal, or Huntsman, these are all supposed conservatives, they ONLY bash Sarah, say nasty things about her, Huckabee ran for President, so did Romney, yet not the hate from the left like they hate Sarah, the left are terrified of her, her charisma, her ability to bring people to her, her likability, her conservative views, pro-life, pro 2nd amendment, if the left were making nasty comments about Huckabee I’d say “Ok I guess they just hate everyone on the right” but nope, I don’t see the kind of venom that I see towards Sarah from the left, so I smell fear from them, and if we are smelling fear from the left then that means we have a great chance in coming back and taking back the White House in 2012 with Sarah as our nominee<<<<
AMEN!! AMEN!! Sarah for President in 2012

Thanks for the link. To see so much about Pat B. was sad, he is a first class nut.
On CNN to pretend he is a conservative.
What planet do you think Pat lives on?
The site as far as I could tell says nothing to inform visitors about Sarah. It’s all about Pat Butthead
www.2012DraftSarahCommittee.com
**Conservatives won’t be supporting her.**
Really now? Sounds like you’re out in left field.
She won the most number of Conservative votes
She was also named as “Conservative of the Year” by Human Events.

I’ve yet to see you post “truth” about her.
The bulk of your message seems to be that she isn’t conservative, without much substance to the position, and that we should be wise to move on...to what or whom exactly?
Last I checked she’s very much a favorite of the conservative movement and the base of the party. So that would make you and your “conservative” friends an extreme minority would it not? Which is fine. But if you are so far apart from where the majority of the movement is, why would I follow your lead to the promise land where “real” conservatives reside? We evidently differ on the definition and those who serve it.
BTW, don’t be so ludricrous as to suggest disregard of your position as being rooted in that of a cult following. She’s a politician and as such no infalliable immortal. Certainly she doesn’t warrant her own alter at church. If you want to seek example of a cult, exit stage left to the Obama alter down the road.
I’m merely tired of hearing from people like yourself who would run off a conservative for whatever fleeting passion you serve. I don’t care if you vote for her or support her for higher office. But I’ll be damned if I stand by and see conservatives run off or urged to be abandoned by anyone. There are precious few in the party these days and none with her current high profile stature. The way I see it until you or your kind produce someone of equal or better value in position to be heard and effect change, your calls to throw her overboard will go unanswered.**
Great post Soul Seeker!
That was simply the article of the month on that website -duh.

Well I thank you. I don’t think she is a Pat Butthead supporter.
Good post.
I learned something new today, so I can go to bed now.
I had thought a populist was someone like BOR or Slick Willy, who stuck their finger in the wind and saw what was currently popular and went that way. I guess their just weasels with no center.
