“she is squarely in the camp of conservative populism, opposed to corporatism and its corporate state.”
She is not of the Washington elite crowd and the main reason I support her. Also the main reason the RINO’s dislike her, Rove being among them.
How I wish she’d run. Maybe she’s thinking later, when the kids are older. If she won’t now, can’t blame her. But this is an opportune time, given the loser on the other side.
(((((PING)))))
Ralph’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right.
So they missed the whole “maverick”, “going rogue” thingy?
Palin is smarter than some people think? I didn’t think that was possible around here. / bad humor
However, Ralph Nader, a lifelong leftist and a man who despises 'big business' frames his approval in terms that indicate he understands that although Sarah Palin is definitely conservative, she is not a believer in 'crony capitalism', where corporations give millions to politicians (in both parties) and expect - and receive -'access' and the passing of laws, usually tax-related, that favor these same corporations. That is not my idea of 'conservative'. We clearly need the corporations for employment and the supply of necessary goods and services but when they can avoid paying any taxes and generally receive favors smaller businesses can't obtain, that is a corruption of the political system. Palin understands this and, as president, with a Republican congress, would oppose it and put a spotlight on the deals politicians make with 'big business'. That would be beneficial and why the the Republican establishment, entrenched in 'buddy politics' oppose Sarah Palin.
Frankly, I never thought I'd be typing these words but here I am: Nader is right.
Sarah Palin seems to be genuinely down home, someone just like us, yet unlike any other candidate, she also has real star power.
She would overshadow the others, especially Rick Perry, if she were to have entered the race in the last few weeks.
As things are, we can examine the current candidates' records and listen to their debate answers and form opinions based solely on them alone.
At some point soon, I hope she gets in.
I want to hear what she has to say and to see for myself if she has addressed the few negatives she had as a new to the big stage VP candidate.
But not just yet. Let Rick Perry have his moment alone. He and we deserve that.
And let the Rick and Mitt comparisons be made and voter opinions be formed first.
Then we'll be ready for her and I predict a very enthusiastic reception if she get in.
Like I said, no one has her star power and it hasn't dimmed no matter what the msm and company have thrown at her.
Sarah is building a true Bipartisan movement, like all great leaders do, even if not all are willing, The Commies can go to hell and the Beltway Republicans can either fight be her side or be crushed under our heel, but they will NOT stand in our way.
All I can say is.
Run Sarah RUN!
Every now and then a blind dog finds a bone.
Hey Ralph, don’t let it go to your head.
palin more intelligent than obama?
of course.
