Still, the Arizona shootings and their aftermath will probably be remembered as the end of Ms. Palin's chances of being taken seriously as a Republican presidential candidate. She had an opportunity to rise to an occasion, and she whiffed......Classic win/lose scenario. No matter what she says they can criticize.

“I’ve never seen the liberals so afraid of anyone in my life. I thought Reagan scared them. Not anything like Palin. Therefore I MUST support her!”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly! Not just the out-of-the-closet Communists either, but the Marxist wing of the Republican Party as well. The fear of these people, and the constant exposure to their shrill nonsense is probably turning more heads, and hearts, in her direction than the Right could ever do.

The more they hate her, the more I like her. I WANT someone who is polarizing, who is a fighter. The Left knows this is a war, and is fighting with everything they have. Civility my a$$. We’re going on the offense politically.

Does anyone have an idea of how many people have watched Sarah’s video re blood libel?

I would venture a guess that the numbers are huge and overwhelm those who watch or listen to mainstream media.

CHRONOLOGY OF ANY EVENT:

1) Negative Event Occurs.
2) Immediately blame Sarah Palin.
3) Events unfold showing Sarah Palin not at fault, or even involved.
4) Blame Sarah Palin harder.
5) IF SARAH PALIN DOES NOT RESPOND: Declare her out-of-touch and non-Presidential.
6) IF SARAH PALIN RESPONDS MILDLY: Declare her wishy-washy and incapable of leadership.
7) IF SARAH PALIN RESPONDS FORCEFULLY: Declare her too provocative and incendiary.


CHRONOLOGY OF ANY EVENT (if involves muslim perp/terrorist):

1) Negative Event Occurs.
2) Preach caution against “jumping to conclusions.”
3) Gingerly report only topical events surrounding the attack. Preach more caution against “jumping to conclusions.”
4) Avoid at all costs publicizing the name of the perp.
5) Once perp’s name is inevitably revealed, preach caution against assuming perp is a muslim.
6) Once perp’s muslim identity can no longer be avoided, search relentless for tangential causal factors, such as social isolation, poverty, frustration with racism, etc.
7) Preach caution against assuming the muslim perp’s faith is radical.
8) Schedule on-air live interview with CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper.
9) Show video of Palestinians in Gaza breaking out in joyous celebration of muslim’s mass murder of Americans.
10) Press the notion Islam is a “religion of peace.”
11) Blame talk radio, the Tea Party, the GOP and most of all, Sarah Palin.
12) Blame Israel.
13) Blame Bush.
14) Schedule obligatory live interview with Al Sharpton, who will reflexively blame talk radio, the Tea Party, the GOP, Bush and Palin, and instinctively call for conservative talk radio to be outlawed.

Yes when that happens I do not think that is too far off she will slice and dice the liberal enviromental agenda.(Don’t forget,Sarah, to please point out the folly of the electric cars when our grid will not support it and most of our electric comes from burning coal!)

When you reject the idea of objective truth,
what is true depends on what you are currently thinking.

She will bring sense to the energy debate... just another reason they hate and fear her.

I did not study her response in detail, but did she admit to being born in Kenya?

Meg was a max RINO...tried to have it both ways. You want to get ahead, differentiate yourself from your opponents. She, like her buddie Juan McCain, want to be dem lite type candidates. Principled leadership means staking out important positions, articulating why you have taken these positions, and make clear what the choices are between you and your opponent.

Case in point Chris Christie...he did not run as a dem lite candidate. He put the state’s fiscal situation into realistic terms for the citizens and made it clear tough measures were before them, but these measures were necessary. And they voted him into office.

The moral of the story = Don’t run away from the fight. Look to Detroit as an example where people refused to fight, they fled instead.

No, but she is going to give a short form COLB to Daily Kos and Factcheck.org to verify...you know, those guys who are experts in document forensics.

The queer-baits are going all out aren’t they? Queer-bait is about the highest they can assign themselves, which they have happily done.

On the subject of qualifications, let's address the qualifications of the current occupant of the White House.

I would crawl naked over broken glass to vote for this woman. I'll do it in the Primaries. I'll do it in the General.

I'm voting for her. Certainly if she runs, likely if she does not.

"I don't see it happening," a top Republican fundraiser told me this week (though he asked for anonymity in case he turns out to be wrong).

Typical gutless wonder.
