Sarah Palin Gets It Right

The Baltimore Sun ^ | Tuesday, May 31, 2011 | House Editorial

Just when you thought the Republican presidential field was getting set, up pops the most mischievous force in American politics, Sarah Palin. The former Alaska governor — the real deal this time, not actress Julianne Moore channeling her for the filming in Maryland of the movie "Game Change" — dropped by Ft. McHenry on Monday in a non-campaign stop in her non-campaign bus on her (wink wink) non-campaign tour of the East Coast, which ends, in what must be pure coincidence, in the first primary state, New Hampshire.

While in Baltimore, according to a Los Angeles Times reporter who was able to keep up despite the lack of a public schedule, Ms. Palin read a manuscript of the "Star Spangled Banner;" hoisted a 36-pound cannon ball; briefly upbraided President Obama for referring to the U.S. Military during a Memorial Day observance as "one of the finest fighting forces in the world," as opposed to the finest; and in a particularly mavericky touch, paid a compliment to another non-candidate governor, Rick Perry of Texas.

All this action from the Fox News commentator, plus her recent purchase of a home in Arizona, which could be a perch in the Lower 48 from which to launch a presidential run, has delighted all ends of the political spectrum. In fact, it's hard to tell who's more excited, Governor Palin's many fans or the Democrats who think she'd be easy to beat.

SNIP

It's rare that we agree with something Ms. Palin says, but she had it absolutely right when she said at Ft. McHenry "Competition breeds success. I would hope there is gonna be vigorous debate and a lot of aggressive competition even in our primary so that our voters have a good choice." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

She is the only one I see with the fearlessness and heart felt drive to oust this communist destroyer in the WH.

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

I read their House editorial.

Whatever.

[HighlyOpinionated]

I like this quote from article: The Republicans have always been the party in which the establishment rallied behind a chosen candidate, and its understandable that some might be nervous that it isn't turning out that way this time. But it's time to stop fretting about who's in and who's out and to start listening to what these candidates have to say about where they would lead this country.

The author of the piece 'gets' it.

"... Ms. Palin says... "

Which one is that?

Piper?

Bristol?

Willow?

Can't be Sarah because she is Mrs. Palin.

Surprisingly favorable for what I presume is a leftist newspaper from a leftist state.

Nothing definite about the NH stop yet, although she's heading in our direction! Just rumor that she might be here on Thursday or Friday, same days as Romney and Giuliani...

Do you ever rest? If you have a beeper that goes off every time FR has a new Sarah thread, you will soon have all 24 hours of your day consumed! LOL Bob

No. She's Gov. Palin.

You must only be following Sarah threads. ASA Vet posts the birth info for all candidates which really is what voters should know upfront - that’s the first order of business - are they eligible according to the Constitution before we listen to their babble.

[jessduntno]

Heh heh heh ... I love seeing that post....

[Moorings]

Kristinn, thanks for keeping us informed on the latest, with these threads!

[Mtner77]

....”No. She’s Gov. Palin.”....

That is true. For now..

[aruanan]

But it's time to stop fretting about who's in and who's out and to start listening to what these candidates have to say about where they would lead this country.

I don't want to be led anywhere.

I want a federal government to provide the least possible interference in our everyday lives with the maximum possible protection from enemies both foreign and domestic within the boundaries of its enumerated powers in the Constitution and leave it to the rest of us to determine, according to our own talents and interests and our voluntary associations, where this country is headed and what it will be.

Screw dirigism of both the right and the left.

Screw it thoroughly.

The blithering screed above is PRECISELY why I would not even use the Baltimore Sun in the bottom of a bird cage! I would not disrespect even a parakeet that much.

Well, not all, but most. I even did one on Biden when someone mentioned him as next in line.

Any women will understand what Palin is doing. She is waiting for a groundswell of support for her candidacy. A man would announce his intentions to run for the position and then tell why he is the best choice.

A woman will let us tell her she is the best choice and that she must run for the good of the country.
