It is too bad, she has not put her hat in the ring. But, is it too late? Probably not, considering our less-than-ideal choices from the GOP, due to their own difficulty getting past the idea of a female GOP president.
I believe the GOP has thrown Bachmann under the bus, due to their sexism.
Can we believe Sarah will run on the GOP ticket, if she does run? Regardless, I hope she will run and I hope everyone will support her over the RINOs being supported by the GOP.
Sheesh...all the NYT is doing is its job..ringing the alarm bells for the RinoCracy.
The RinoCracy-the bipartisan cohort of socialist-crony capitalists has led the country to the brink. They are out of minds and out of ideas. The real question, if there is anything to question, might be whether they have more to lose by being thrown out of leadership than by fomenting internal chaos. Somebody at media-central is beginning to perceive the RinoCracy might well be thrown out-and is sounding the sirens.
When I look at this source (NYT) I think maybe pigs will fly! This backs up that article also posted today by Professor Jacobson - “Sarah Palin May Be The One Liberals Have Been Waiting For”.
--Sarah Palin
Tell the Truth, admit what happened - learn a lesson - and drive on with integrity and character.
How hard is that?
The Times must really be worried about Perry so they’ve suddenly started encouraging Palin to jump in.
Weird, a friend just opined “the next president will be bought by corporations. That isn’t right”.
I didn’t have the heart to tell her “Yeah? And you still have disdain for the Tea Party and Sarah Palin? Everything that bothers you is why there is a Tea Party and Sarah Palin.”
But she’s too stoopid to be president besides being stoopid?
I recall being told by a friend who has everyone including Bill Clinton in her house that American wasn’t ready for a woman to be president. This was when Hillary was running.
I laughed saying “That’s funny. You find me a Jean Kirkpatrick, Golda Meir or a Margaret Thatcher and that woman has my vote”.
(I love getting a chance to discuss my mind in those circles sometimes)
Sarah comes closer than most men to my political ideals and she sticks to her word and promises.
She will have my vote and probably some of my hard earned loot when she decides to run.
While I’d like to see her become President, I doubt if that will happen. However, I wouldn’t be surprise to see her tapped as a cabinet member. She make a great Secretary of Energy. I would love to hear the enviros yell for the next eight years.
Great article.

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS — Let us begin by confessing that, if Sarah Palin surfaced to say something intelligent and wise and fresh about the present American condition, many of us would fail to hear it. That is not how we’re primed to see Ms. Palin. A pugnacious Tea Partyer? Sure. A woman of the people? Yup. A Mama Grizzly? You betcha. But something curious happened when Ms. Palin strode onto the stage last weekend at a Tea Party event in Indianola, Iowa. Along with her familiar and predictable swipes at President Barack Obama and the “far left,” she delivered a devastating...

But when her throat was cleared at last, Ms. Palin had something considerably more substantive to say. She made three interlocking points. First, that the United States is now governed by a “permanent political class,” drawn from both parties, that is increasingly cut off from the concerns of regular people. Second, that these Republicans and Democrats have allied with big business to mutual advantage to create what she called “corporate crony capitalism.” Third, that the real political divide in the United States may no longer be between friends and foes of Big Government, but between friends and foes of vast,...

As the free agent she is now, she get s all kinds of media attention, her every word is reported, SHE choose when and where, how long she speaks and what she says. Because of who she is, the gets the media coverage free. The other candidates wouldn't have the following, the crowds nor the coverage. they had to jump into the race to get attention. Remember, Reagan didn't get into the race until NOVEMBER. Worked out pretty well. ;o)
Do YOU know where you local Republican Committees meet? Your local “Women's Republican Committee”? Your county Republican Committee? FIND OUT. (If y ou have trouble finding out, call you local congressman’s/senators office. They'll have the information. Call and get the time and place of the next meeting and GO. Take a friend. (do the buddy system ;o)...) You can quickly start making a difference. You can usually get chosen as a representative to the spring State Conventions where YOU will have a vote on candidates! AND on the Party Platform. This is where the power starts. YOU can have a say in it. This is how we get ‘Tea Party’ thinking people to Washington. “If you ain't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.”
“So here is something I never thought I would write: a column about Sarah Palin’s ideas.”
Ann Coulter, are you listening!
Sarah says it.. they accurately report it. What a concept.
Therein lies our biggest challenge, getting uninformed voters to actually examine Palin's record and her words. It doesn't worry me none though because once Sarah announces, she'll have the finest grassroots support imaginable. IMO, we are an unbeatable combination.
At this point in time I don't care if Congress is controlled by Democrats or Republicans. Both parties spew their effluent across the fruited plain based on what largess they can create for themselves, not those they govern.
It appears to me, and anyone else who has bothered to look, that Gov. Palin has held these views since she first got into politics up in Alaska. One can either support the exceptionalism of America in standing by its Constitution, or you can support the UN mandates leading to socialist misery. Those are the only two choices, and both Democrats and Republicans are both supporting the latter.
God help America.
Not to worry about flying pigs over this sinhgle article, the next 50 negative (AKA lies) Palin articles by the NYT will more than compensate up for their one liberal faux pas.
