Come off it Buford.

Everybody knows you're a Paulistinian at heart.

I am (unfortunately) old enough to remember that Ronald Reagan was not electable.
No way. Could never happen.

We must be fearless, and let the chips fall where they may...

In 2008, we let the media and the Democrats pick our candidate.

Let's not do that again.

ok. Second time today I’ve seen the term “concern troll.”

I can guess what this means, but if you have a handy defintion for me, I’d appreciate it.

Sarah Palin is elocuent without visual aids, her character and her vision come through in her speeches clearly and her life reflects who she is and what she believes.

Unfortunately, her voice is a deterrent to her message.
I have heard people complaining that her speeches are hard to hear because of the shrillness of her voice. That may sound ridiculous considering the importance of the issues facing us but it is a consideration, especially when it comes to independents that need to hear her message.

I wonder if voice lessons could help her, but without changing her personality?

She needs a makeover, too. Her look is dated now.

Well, I went to Harvard, so I shouldn’t talk. But I had the advantage of a strong religious education before going there, so I could choose my professors and avoid the obnoxious junk. I’m not sure if that’s even possible now. Where half the English Department or half the History department used to be ideologically questionable, now it’s closer to 95%. There are virtually no decent professors left standing.

But this article has Palin’s strengths down. She is smart, well educated, lots of common sense, a natural leader since high school or earlier, plenty of executive experience, and strong religious faith which makes her reliable under difficult conditions, when most politicians would bend with the wind.

You don’t have to be religious to support someone who is, if that’s what it takes to be absolutely reliable.

She is by far the best candidate out there. Indeed, she is about the only candidate I’ve seen in the past twenty years who has the qualities we need in this national emergency.

As we know, qualifications don’t matter anymore.

America has elected as President and Commander-in-Chief a “community organizer”, Barack Hussein Obama, who sees things in terms of a Third World socialist. His father was an African Marxist and his mother a leftist slut. Nothing in his background or expereiece - far left community organizer, 20 years with the hate-monger Pastor Wright, friendship with terrorist Bill Ayers, shady real estate deal with Syrian (now jailed) swindler Tony Rezko, associations with Louis Farrakhan and black militants - makes him a real American in terms of values or world view. He spent 150 days in the U.S. Senate, about 120 of them campaigning. He spent a few years in the Illinois state legislature voting “present.”

So yeah, as far as Americans are concerned, former Governor Sarah Palin is more than qualified.
No question about it.

She didn’t go to law school, which is a form of brain damage.

Nobody knows who is going to run as of this date and it could very well be a complete unknown appear and rise to the top when the time comes.

The last "bolt-out-of-the-blue" GOP nominee was Wendell Wilkie in 1940. Good luck with that.

That’s one of those damned pictures that are just... wrong, but I can’t stop looking either.

As Victor Volsky writes in American Thinker, “in the eyes of the political/cultural aristocracy, [Palin] is the embodiment of its worst nightmare: the revolt of the masses against their masters.”

Excellent quote!
