Sarah, as many will atest to in the conservative movement and elsewhere in the political spectrum, is such a leader,

I'll believe that when I see it. I'm not holding my breath while I wait for it to happen, though.

much I am sure to your chagrin.

r9,

You are acting as if this is a zero sum game. Palin’s resume and titles are different from Thatcher’s, but she has been in political office for over 15 years. She understands governance at the local and state levels, which is where the majority of it (governance) is supposed to take place anyway.

although Ms. Palin apparently aspires to a leadership position, she is not actually in a leadership position. “

Time for a little lesson on leadership here.
Informal Leader:
Leader whose power and authority over a group are derived from his/her acceptance by the group rather than from his/her office, position, status, or rank in the formal chain of command in the formal organization. An informal leader has earned a group leadership role by the group's acceptance

By her ability to influence the Republican base and send the 0bamabots crazy, Sarah Palin wields more power, than any other Republican Party”leader” right now, certainly a heck of a lot more power than RNC Chair Michael Steele, who most of the Republican base just wouldn't give the time of the day to.

"You, I, and every other rational person who cares about this country knows that there are leadership positions that you are elected to, and leadership positions that occur naturally because you are naturally and actually a leader"

Precisely! - The 'housewife' that slayed a sitting governor in the Primary election. - Sarah Palin is a threat to everyone that is a threat to this country.

People are looking to her as a leader and she is responding to the need by addressing the current issues. The libs are listening, not that they like what they hear.

Yea, I would say leadership position.

I likewise am in a leadership position but not on a national level.

Are you implying that someone has to be a Congressman, mayor, governor, president to be in a leadership position?

Anyways, now that I indulged you in your nitpicking session I think it would be a better exercise in intellectual honesty to stick with the gist of what is being said than policing comments to see how clever you can try and be.

And yet you managed to make an utter hash of your dismissal Thatcher's qualifications”

I managed to set the record straight, on your laughable disinformation attempt on Lady Thatcher's executive experience before she became leader of the Conservative Patty, which was pretty meager.
You bluster with “but, but she had 20 years experience as an MP”, I took apart with ease. British MP’s are but one MP out of over 600 MP’s, most of them of little consequence, and unknown by the British public, save people who live in their own parilkaimentary districts.

Palin has nothing close to Thatcher's experience and you know it. “

Plain has had more executive experience than Thatcher ever had when she was elected leader of the Conservative Party.
That is FACT. Get over it.

I am big time SP supporter and I agree with 95% of what she is saying here. However, "Many Americans want change and reform in our current health care system" is not only incorrect it also accepts the premise of the left - that it is the government's right to screw with something that already works.

In reality most Americans are perfectly happy with the system we have now. They like their insurance company, their coverage, their doctors etc. The grass roots uprising we are seeing at Town Hall meetings would not be happening if people wanted government change in a private run system that runs perfectly well.

Maybe I'm nitpicking.

Re: Nationalized single payer legal reform. I was just pulling your leg and it came off in my hand. Are you sure you are a lawyer?

The link at the top takes me to a log-in page for Facebook, of which I am not a member. Let’s see if these links work. Go here and click on “Notes”...

http://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin

Or, if the following link works, go directly to the August 21 entry of Sarah Palin’s Notes ...

OK . . . seems to work in preview :)

I like Thatcher, but that doesn't mean I am going to sit idly by for some anti-Palin nut to deal fast and lose with the facts as it pertains to the executive experience that Gov Palin has had as compared to Thatcher when she took over the Conservative Party leadership.
0bama hasn't even run a village before in his entire life, yet sits in the White House today, and this clown is talking about the ‘inexperience” of Gov Palin?
Give me a break!

If Palin was as inexperienced and unqualified as r9 and other Palin critics say she is, they wouldn't waste their time discussing her. They would simply ignore the Palin threads.

Some of these people opposing Palin have a vested interest in maintaining the status-quo. No doubt a President Palin, beholden only to the people, would kill a lot of people's favorite sacred cows.

true. The other day I was thinking about the federal government and what things in my daily life they provided that I needed, or had a prospect of needing. I came up with transportation infrastructure, national defense, law enforcement, and securities and banking regulation.

That should leave a lot of room for cutting.

Wonder what he’d do if DeMint is chosen to be her VP

Probably go into convulsions. ROFL

I see it the other way around though. Although DeMint has a business background, I don't think people want to choose from another group of Senators and Congressmen again.

"litigation is a bogeyman issue used by insurance companies to drive up premiums."

Stock attorney response.

My last case today was a 92 y.o. brain CT ordered by the ER for "mental status change". It was the patient's 9th brain CT in the last 12 months (not to mention 2 brain MRI) all ordered for "mental status change", and all showing nothing but a 92 y.o. brain.

These studies are ordered not because the ER thinks they're really going to find something treatable, but to keep some long-lost nephew who hasn't seen gramps in 30 year from coming out of the woodwork and suing the doc for everything he's worth; if by some chance something is missed. All defensive medicine, all the time. And the illegals will receive the same outrageous over-utilization for the exact same reason.

And its not just malpractice litigation. It's also the cost of equipment liability coverage that makes little stents the size of a caterpillar cost thousands of dollars. If one fails, look out. Better get more liability insurance so you can remain in business, and more classes on "Risk Management". For God's sake "Risk Management" (a.k.a. figuring out how not to get sued) is it's own industry costing who knows how many billions, and taking doctor and nurse time away from actually caring for patients.

I am with you. I have been chasing r9 around all afternoon continuing to rebut his anti-Palin postings. I am tired of these mamby pamby weiners posting and postulating about needing 10 years or 15 years of this or that before she runs. Screw that. She believes in the right things and has a track record of getting what she wants done, done.

Obama isn’t even failing because of his “inexperience.” Its because he ran as a centrist fraud and the Drive By Media covered up the part of his past we knew about, and kept the other 95% secret. People who care about america don’t like this stuff. You’re always going to have 30% who are leeches, but this nation’s electoral system is set up very ingeniously. There is always accountability right around the corner, unless fraud or apathy sets in.
