Palin: I could have brought change in '08
By Jordan Fabian - 03/19/11 12:52 PM ET
Republicans would have been more successful in the 2008 presidential elections if she was at the top of the ticket, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin suggested Saturday.
Speaking at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi, Palin was asked why the GOP ticket did not defeat then-Sen. Barack Obama (D). Palin said that Obama ran a strong campaign and effectively billed himself as a change candidate.
Pressed by India Today editor Aroon Purie that she also represented change, Palin replied, "I wasn't at the top of the ticket, remember?"
The 2008 vice presidential nominee said she was not claiming she should have been the nominee over Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), but her comments provide a glimpse of her potential appeal to voters should she choose to run for the nomination in 2012.
Palin reiterated that she has not yet decided is she will run.
"I don't think that there needs to be a rush still to get out there as a declared candidate," she said.
When asked about the greatest lessons she learned from 2008, Palin did not mention the friction between McCain's camp and hers. Instead she said the experience informed her public relations strategy.
"One thing I learned is that you cannot trust the mainstream media to accurately report on [your record and accomplishments]," she said. "You have to have the boldness, the courage to set the record straight yourself."
She even accused Republicans of not defending their records vigorously enough.
"Too often, Republicans have the fighting instinct of sheep sometimes," she said. When it comes to correcting the record, "I will put my foot down."
Rebutting a criticism often used against her, Palin said, "It's not victimization, I'm not playing the victim card."
Palin also touted her role as a key figure in the Tea Party movement, saying that it helps enforce accountability amongst politicians on both sides of the aisle.
"It's going to grow, it's going to be more influential and it's going to hold our politicians accountable," she said.
Palin even compared the Tea Party movement to the pro-democratic uprisings that have sprouted up across the Middle East.
The Tea Party is "all about empowerment of everyday, independent patriots ... to change the balance of power," she said. "The changing balance of power throughout the world today is driven by empowerment of the individual ... That's what we are seeing throughout the world today."
I think it could/should still be a issue in 2012. Barry said that he did not share the views of Rev Wright, I think the list is long that he does in fact share Rev Wright`s views.That's right. By the time of the 2012 campaign there will have been 3.5 years of proof that Obama shares Wright's views and that proof should be part of the campaign. If it's not, then we've got the wrong candidate.
And it won't be if a RINO is the candidate.
Looks like we got us another pissant. You whack one, and another pops up to take his place.LOL!
Well worth reading.
I was trying to get answers, but EV was continuing his character assassination mission.
pissant's zot had to do with his nasty mouth, not his discussion with [EternalVigilance]It's true. I was there when it happened and that's how it happened.
It's a true conflict of interest.Yup.
Facts are facts, buddy. And you haven't offered any in this whole conversation. All you've done is shown that you'll support anything for Palin, even if it leaves you standing with Barack Obama and Joe Biden on an issue that affects the survival of our national sovereignty.
Yeah, I guess the fact that he had lost the debate so badly that he was reduced to calling me a rapist had NOTHING to do with it.
/s
That is a bald-faced lie, worthy of a smarmy lobbyist political type. My #56 was loaded down with facts, "buddy," and so was my LOST letter thread; the latter from many FReepers who agreed with me that Palin was just trying to protect the energy resources of this country. But no, you stand with Saul Alinsky, who used any facts he could get his hands on to "freeze" and "polarize" any "target" candidate he opposed. You have to destroy anyone who gets in the way of your candidates. You act like you learned "Rules for Radicals" very well.
You have totally turned me off of the American Independent Party, of which you are the head honcho, with your smarmy tactics, and I bet you've had the same influence on other FReepers, too. Great job as an ambassador of conservatism, there.
Take your "/s" elsewhere. The Admin Moderator said what caused him/her to zot pissant, and that wasn't it. You just can't admit you're wrong; your ego won't permit it.
That’s not what he was zotted for, calling you anything.
It was for a comment he made about Palin.
I actually have a link to “pissant’s last post” but I’m not posting it because it’s too disgusting and I don’t want him to live on in infamy.
Just take my word for it. It had absolutely nothing to do with you.
You have totally turned me off of the American Independent Party, of which you are the head honcho, with your smarmy tactics, and I bet you've had the same influence on other FReepers, too. Great job as an ambassador of conservatism, there.I think any 3rd party effort in 2012 is going to be, basically, the work of the devil but yes, you are right, whatever respect I ever had for AIP is severely eroded by the performance here of one of it's star members.
So, he can make a lesbian reference about Palin, but calling me a rapist is fine. Gotcha.
I’m just telling you what he was zotted for, you freaking idiot.
You are, indeed, dense.
Ironically, you’re acting pretty much like pissant.
You got your feelings hurt 'cause nobody cares what you are called. You are a giant in your own mind. You are anything but in the rest of our minds...
TS!
Because I called you an idiot?
Because you are proving it with your own posts?
Because your inability to understand a simple cause-and-effect relationship between what somebody posted and why they got zotted and how it has nothing to do with you implies that all your other arguments are infected by a similar studied inability to reason logically, or even to understand certain basic ideas?
Because you can’t think of anything else to say to me so you’re calling me pissant?
Because you yourself already reminded several posters in FR of pissant and you bridle at the comparison so you’re trying to pass it on, haphazardly, to me?
All of the above?
Whatever.
Who cares? Our country’s sovereignty is being destroyed. Pissant’s posting status, or why he got banned, is not anywhere near the top of the list of what is important.
