The RINOS want to keep the GOP candy store all to themselves, and even if it means they never see majority power again...

Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner!

What better way to distance Sarah from the established GOP and it’s nightmare media coverage? Positioning her as an agent of change rather than a return to the Bush years could be a good thing.

The ONLY thing I’ve seen that gives me reservations about Sarah is her apparent capitulation on globull warming. I’m another who voted republican for no other reason than Palin.

On the other hand, Newt has given me a multitude of examples not to trust a word he says. Saying it to Christianity today only makes it more distasteful.

It seems that virtually everyone on the left and ‘right’ wants to tell me I don’t have a choice... again. (It’s bittersweet that they can’t continue to blame the right about what’s going on in America. I pray we’re able to survive the stupidity and/or the evil of the left.)

Again, always turning on ourselves. How quickly we forget. The only Republican I can think of in the last 25 years who was worth a damn and who got more done has been Newt Gingrich... He is a very smart political man....

We seem to think we can find a candidate we agree with 100%. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Dems know this, that's why they always win and we will always lose. I don't know if what he's doing is right, but I'm willing to listen.

I wasn't thrilled with what she said but based on her past actions I'm not too concerned about it yet. I mean it's not like she is sitting on couch with Pelosi...just saying.

The “inside” boys cannot understand why your “average joe/jane” would be so enamored by . . . a woman . . . who hunts and fishes and has a good sized family and talks TO us and not ‘at’ us . . . who doesn’t take voters for granted . . . who has faults exposed by the MSM and did not try to cover them up . . . who we’re able to forgive because “we’ve been there” (or know someone who has) . . . who enjoys her audience . . . who has a zest for life . . . who jogs in freezing Alaska weather . . . whose husband races snow-machines and pilots his own plane and works in the oil fields as well as on his fishing boat.

Or, put more simply, the “inside boys” cannot understand the breath of cold fresh air coming down from Alaska.

2010 and 2012 is going to be OUR year to choose OUR candidate. We will NOT allow the Media to hand us a RINO or other loser to vote for.

THAT is part of what the TEA Parties have been all about. It’s THEM against US . . . Media and the “inside boys” against Normal US Citizen Taxpayers; people who do the right thing because it’s the right thing not because someone has passed a law that says we have to do the right thing.

WE MUST KEEP MEDIA FROM HIJACKING THE ELECTIONS IN 2010 and 2012.

Palin and Bachmann . . . it takes 2 women to clean the House AND the Senate!

In 2012 Sarah Palin’s common sense approach will be the same breath of fresh air that Reagan was after the Carter debacle.

Lets remember that Tommy Christopher is a liberal hack writer that wrote an article last year saying Palin was playing the “RETARD CARD”...

THe guy is pure filth...nothing more nothing less.

“Palin and Bachmann . . . it takes 2 women to clean the House AND the Senate!”

Now THAT would be an awesome combination!

And the press smells blood & Party division, and is exploiting it: "Sarah Palin's hopes for presidency damaged by family feuds"

They even mentioned the words "trailer trash".

While little Tommy Christopher has been gathering a mountain of evidence, SarahPAC has been gathering a mountain of cash. It doesn’t matter if Gingrich or McCain or Jindal or Pawlenty or Romney diss her. Palin has an army of loyal followers, will continue to gather more as she tours the country side making speeches as effective as the one in Evansville, all the while raking in the cash. By 2010 I’m hoping that SarahPAC will be the finanical powerhouse. Money is power.

They are entrenched elitists who don’t want to rock the boat too much.

For a maverick, McCain spent a lot of time osculating the derriers of entrenched liberal interests.

Gingrich is out of his time. Bright guy, nice guy, but not up to the present.

Palin kept McNutjob’s campaign from being a catastrophic landslide. Her and Joe the Plumber. We need MORE people like them and LESS people like McNutjob and Gingrich.

I don’t care who they are or what party...I want to oust every single person who is currently holding office in the congress! Every one of them! Now I know some will say this suicide, but we have finally reached the point where the devil we don’t know can’t possibly be any worse than the devils we have.

That scumbag Newt can go to hell for all I care. What kind of a man talks divorce with his wife while she's in the hospital recovering from cancer? He's the lowest of the low.

That dirtball also was cheating on his wife while he was going after Clinton. I'm sick of scumbag hypocrites.

Newt isn't fit to wash Sarah's old socks.

She needs to ramp up her knowledge of domestic and world affairs and prepare for a much harder campaign.

Can we just stop using this canard?

Obama knows squat about foreign affairs, can't speak without a teleprompter, and hates America.

Joe Biden is a complete moron, and as been wrong about every major foreign affairs issue for almost 40 years.

McCain couldn't even understand "no bailout" and said there was nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency.

Romney couldn't figure out if he was a conservative oir a liberal Democrat.

Please--Sarah Palin knows plenty about foreign and domestic affairs. She is the Governor of a State, a very large one.

Sarah also knows what it is like to be a mother, and to have a disabled child, is raising a family and running a state.

None of the other GOP dimwits can claim that.

So folks--no more of this stupidity that she has to be "seasoned" and "learn more".

She is ten times smarter than the POTUS ever will be, and can speak from the heart without a TOTUS because she has core beliefs.

Inconsistency - exactly! I felt absolutely bi-polar with him over the years. One second he was THE MAN, and the next quote, exactly opposite.

I’ve learned - never, ever believe a thing that man says to be what he intended to say or what he will do. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Sayeth the scripture.

I don't think Newt is working to undermine Sarah Palin. John McCain and his daughter Meghan are a totally different story altogether. Newt's remarks about Palin strike me as straight forward and honest.

>>>>>Sarah Palin has an obvious role if she wants it. The question for her has to be, are she and her family willing to go through another couple of years of the kind of media coverage that they currently get? Is she willing to do the kind of development of national issues and development of a national profile that would be required? She is a celebrity in her own right. She is probably the most successful figure in the party right now, and she's a formidable figure. I think to go from there to becoming a national leader would take a significant amount of work.

The liberal establishment and the Democratic Party apparatus went after Dick Nixon for years and in the end, with Nixon's help, they were finally successful in ending his political career. Later on, the leftwing went after Ronald Reagan, but couldn't lay a glove on him.

George W.Bush was attacked relentlessly for 8 years and hardly ever fought back. In the end, the Democrats beat Dubya to a bloody pulp. One reason why Obama is potus today, is directly related to Bush43`s lack of advancing conservatism. Not to mention his poor use of the Bully Pulpit. The uniter became a divider.

In 2008, Sarah Palin was continually assaulted by the liberal establishment. Newt's right. Is Sarah Palin willing to go through another political campaign with Democrats attacking her on a daily basis with falsehoods and distortions? Will the Palin family want to go through another 1-2 years of rough treatment? Before Palin decides if she'll run for president in 2012, she first has to decide whether she'll try for reelection as Alaska Governor in 2010. Sarah Palin has a lot of decisions to make in the next year.
