Tain’t enuff and you know it. Do not be naive.
I disagree.
There are a LOT of people out in America who are just waiting for the right person to step up.
A lot of people, and a lot of money, are waiting.
For my lifetime, yes, maybe a 3rd party is "futile." But what about my children, or their children? What if I help plant those seeds now? Who is to say that one of them won't be the Reagan of the future who turns things around for this country? At this point, that's all I really have, and I'm willing to pin my hopes on it.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. We won’t know until she declares, will we? Look at all the people fed-up about the IRS, NSA, Benghazi, ObamaCare, gay marriage, the wussification and decimation of the armed forces, the constant apologies, the $100 million dollar junkets and vacations, Zimmerman, etc., etc. They’re just waiting for an outlet.
Palin by herself may not be enough, but there sure are a few of us who know what’s needed, what kind of machine, and what kind of funds.
Now, left/right is not really the relevant thing. Union/non-union isn’t either. Conservative versus liberal is the point, and grassroots versus elite is the point. Nack when I was another kind of insurgent here in Norway (we were a small oneplace union fighting the national), we scared the nejeezus out of the national TUC. To the point where I was offered, in handwriting, a ten-million budget for the first quarter to take over their computer section. I acttually have the campaign (designed by yours truly) that drove them into panic. I may no longer have the handwritten offer, written by Kåre Syltebø and endorsed by Yngve Haagensen, but I may have. I tend to never throw anything away :).
Before I stepped into antiterror, I actually was something of a firebrand, albeit a Conservative one.
Anyway, I was that union’s secretary. Kind of a scary critter...
