~ EXCERPT ~
Sarah Palin rides to the sound of the guns. It was a chilly, wet and blustery afternoon in Madison, Wisconsin — one more appropriate for a late-season Packers game than a springtime political rally. The stirring NFL Films theme, “The Classic Battle,” would’ve been a more apt musical choice than Van Halen’s “Right Now” to accompany Palin as she entered the stage outside the state capital building to address thousands of Tea Party members, along with a good number of extremely hostile, expletive-hurling government union rowdies.
In the last few months, political professionals and insiders have been writing off the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate, convinced she won’t run for the GOP nomination in 2012 or ever. Then again, even those GOPers who are running can hardly compete with the MSM’s weird, all-consuming fascination with The Donald.
But all it took was one powerful, pugnacious and presidential speech — just 15 minutes long — for Palin to again make herself completely relevant to the current political and policy battles raging across America.
She waded forcefully into the state’s white-hot battle over government union power, giving her full-throated support to Gov. Scott Walker: “These are the front lines in the battle of the future for our country. A pension is a promise that must be kept. Scott Walker understands this. He understands that states must be solvent to keep their promises. He’s not trying to hurt union members. Hey folks, he’s trying to save your jobs.”

Yes indeed, it was good!
GAME ON!
—Sounds really good when she says it :)
I believe Trump is a liberal mole inside our party. I think he’s a plant to bring down the Tea Party.
Watch the movie, “Stalig 17,” and you’ll understand just how the Nazis infilitrated the gulags during the war. I have a sick feeling that Trump is a mole inside our Stalig.
Trump is working for Obama. We know in the past who Trumpet gives money to. This is the third party candidate who is acting just like Perot! Don’t be fooled again. We will lose with this loser. He’s playing with the birthers with Obama’s and the lame ass media.
Alan Keyes told us months ago, to watch ourselves this year: We would see every size, color, and flavor of "Judas horse" as he RiNO aristocracy tried to get the Tea Party cattle running in the direction of the RNC corral.
So far, Mitch Daniels, Chuck Crist, and now Donald Trump all answer to a reasonable degree the description of a "Judas horse": a conservative candidate backed by the RiNO Commentariat and Old Money Plutocracy, to split Tea Party support for genuine Tea Party patriots like e.g. Michele Bachmann, to diffuse and nullify Tea Party influence and pave the way for the Ultimate RNC Preferred Uber-RiNO, "Willard" Romney.
[Note: They've only been pulling this crap on Main Street Republicans since the 1880's .... Theodore White described their command-and-control in The Making of the President books, esp. the 1960 and 1964 campaigns, that saw the early conservative challenges to the Plutocracy, aka the Rockefeller Wing.]
Veni, Vidi, Velcro:
I came, I saw, I stuck around...

I can’t wait to cast my vote for her!
Sarah Palin 2012 ~ "Going Oval"
8^D
“I believe Trump is a liberal mole inside our party. I think he’s a plant to bring down the Tea Party.”
I think you’re right. May God foil that plot.
Who is Pissant? I see has name mentioned a lot on this site. He doesn’t like Palin?
"Was" is the operative word. He was one of the main leaders of the anti-Palin faction on FR. He was zotted by Admin Moderator with extreme prejudice for a particularly nasty post graphically suggesting that Palin was homosexually involved with Tammy Bruce. I rejoiced the day he was zotted.
See my post #30.
yeah I thought so. He or she hit abuse on me for no reason at all because I stuck up for Sarah Palin. I noticed a lot dropping off at that time. I never call anybody names here and I thought it was odd I got kicked out for being too conservative.
Mashing of gums?
Sarah did the same thing up here in Alaska - she ran against both the Democrats and the Republican establishment. Her legislative allies were cobbled together from both parties. And before she got picked for vice president, she was wildly popular here, which is something that rarely happens, as political complaining is sport in Alaska due to the absence of a football season.
I’ve actually met her. She’s a force to be reckoned with. Everyone who went to the rally in Madison - including the union thugs - no doubt walked away impressed by the woman’s abilities. Those people will talk to others. It is a slow but steady way to build support. Eventually the jokes on Leno and Jon Stewart will just sound dumb. Wait and see.
Mr. Trump may be a mole, as you say. I respect your opinion. It just seems to me that his mega ego would prevent him from carrying anyone’s water other than his own.
I think that he has broken down the “any criticism of Obama is racism” wall, and for that I am grateful to him.
I suspect that might depend on what the payoff was...
Finally watching her speech. Applauding alone at the computer!! Win The Future! She cracks me up. She was ON FIRE, even in the snow.
“Game on! “
Hooray a new slogan you can beat to death.
interesting. thanks
