Palin, incoming
Politico ^ | 11/04/11 | Ben Smith

Posted on 11/04/2011 8:47:56 PM PDT by winoneforthegipper

Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner faced questions from "60 Minutes" yesterday on alleged conflict of interest, and my colleagues report:

According to Pelosi’s office, “60 Minutes” told them its upcoming report is based on a book by conservative writer Peter Schweizer, a fellow at the Hoover Institution whose previous books include, “Do as I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy” and “Architects of Ruin: How Big Government Liberals Wrecked the Global Economy – and How They Will Do It Again if No One Stops Them.”

Schweizer is also Sarah Palin's speechwriter, and this does seem right up her alley.

And she could do it at the same times she’s hunting moose! They still can’t get their minds off her...look at the scant “rumors” that she “might” be thinking about running now.

The mind-boggling corruption of the Obama/Dem stimulus and beyond is a bomb ready to explode, only in need of a crusader with a huge megaphone... and it is made-to-order for someone like Palin, whose whole political existence is practically defined by such battles, regardless of party. No other figure has as clean a record nor is better experienced in this department.

Obama needs a relentless beatdown on this sleaze. It’s an issue that appeals tremendously to independents, as well.

Palin ALREADY said No to the RNC Chair,...she SAID it was about going around doing fundraising and hobnobbing and something about that’s not something she would be interesting in doing. Sheesh!

Complete title of Peter Schweizer's book --

Throw them all out: how politicians and their friends get rich off insider stock tips, land deals, and cronyism that would send the rest of us to prison

Not my argument, my message is that she would make a great RNC chairman.

Asking for money??

SarahPAC letter today: "There's No Question That We Must Replace Obama in 2012" Snail Mail | 9/20/2011 | Tim Crawford, SarahPAC Treasurer
Dear xxx,
As you may know, Gov. Palin is on the verge of making her decision of whether or not to run for office.
It's one of the most difficult and important decisions of her life. And I want her to know that she has our support.
Gov. Palin is a proven leader. She's a common-sense conservative who fights for the rights of Americans like you and me — not special interests or big corporations.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama’s presidency is a disaster. One in five working-age men are out of work. One in seven Americans are on food stamps. Thirty percent of our mortgages are under water. Parts of Michigan and California are suffering from unemployment numbers that are greater than during the depths of the Great Depression.
Someone must save our nation from this road to European Socialism. Do you think it should be Gov. Palin?
If so, can you send your best, one-time gift to SarahPAC today to help her elect more common-sense conservatives - and show her that we support her if she decides to run?
With time running out, thank you for your swift response!
Yours truly,
Tim Crawford
Treasurer, SarahPAC

“Schweizer is Sarah Palin’s adviser, not her speech writer, she writes her own articles and speeches.

But hey Politco Bozo, you got Palin’s name in there as a hit magnet, so why let facts get in the way.

If wondering about what Palin is doing, why wait to be spoon fed BS by the LSM?

I heard the head of the RNC discussing Cain’s firestorm - with friends like that who needs enemies? He sounded like an elitist snob who could care less.

Sure can’t imagine anyone who would elect this guy as RNC head ever voting for a real person like Sarah.

Yep, gotta keep the rumor mill going to keep the interest up. Otherwise SP will go the way of all quitters...

She said running as a third party candidate in 2012 would ensure Obama’s reelection.
