If the liberal loons would have just shut up after the election in 2008, perhaps Sarah Palin would have been forgotten, a mere footnote in history.
The problem is, the liberal loons just can't help themselves, and are genetically encoded to attack anyone with ideas they deem repellent.
If you're pro life, you're an superstitious idiot. If you're against homosexual marriages you're a evil bigot. If you dare to question global warming, you're a dupe for big business. If you own a gun and like to hunt you're a mindless barbarian.
We all know the predictable screed from the irrational leftist loons.
Sarah Palin reminds the progressive nutjobs of these things, and stands as a symbol for them to mobilize against, mock, and demean. Democrats have a long history of this, calling Ronald Reagan a cowboy, Bush 41 a secret spook, Quayle a dummy, and Bush 43 a boob.
Sarah Palin represents everything the goons on the left stand against.
When you add that to the fact she's smart, good looking, and has a deadly sense of humor-- well, you have the possibility the first female president of the USA could force the first black president of the USA out of office after one term.
Things had better go well for Obama in the next three years, because they will go swimmingly for Palin.
Palin has put together a deal with TransCanada, a pipeline building company, and Exxon, of the oil producing fame, to build a new pipeline from Alaska to the continental USA that will transport NATURAL gas.
I'm not sure many Americans yet realize, but natural gas is going to be a HUGE transitional fuel as we seek "independence from foreign oil supplies."
Natural gas is going to be a very large factor in fueling our cars, as well as our buildings, mainly because the USA has a very large reserve of natural gas at their disposal, and Palin has perfectly positioned herself to take advantage of this confluence of events.
This project ALONE will keep her in the news for the next few years, and I'm sure we can count on the leftist loons like David Letterman to keep her in the headlines as well.
Sarah Palin is the future of the GOP, if they know what's good for them.
That's what primaries are all about. You won't support the millionaire or the preacher, and I won't support the sports reporter cum politician. That's why we have primaries.
If she does want to be President, I hope she is working to improve the few things that gave her problems her last time out. If she does, she'll be unbeatable.
The country needs a strong, common sense leader like Sarah Palin and the longer we have obama, Reid and Pelosi running things the more desperate and obvious that need will become to all but a few liberals.
Here is to raising the tenor of the debate!
However, if you have not seen the similarities in devotion between Governor Palin followers, and followers of the President, I am honestly not sure if you have been paying attention
The thing Governor Palin has is that she is, well, a governor, and on the surface seems to support conservative causes
I personally like someone who has been doing it for a very long time, in Washington DC and his home state, and that is Governor Sanford, who has walked the walk since 1994
To put it politely, Palin has no intellectual accomplishments. If a general election were held today, she’d be annhilated, particularly by the Messiah, whose popularity is undiminished.
She’s not stupid, though, and I think she’d do better to shake her handlers loose and just talk directly to people. She has the charm to pull it off.
One of her biggest supporters here is on record as saying that the least intelligent people he’s met have been college grads, and the smartest have all been high school drop outs. No lie.
Not to get sidetracked, but given your high esteem of journalists, what do you think of Palin having a journalism degree? Positive, negative, neutral, anything?
Sounds exactly like gang-banger culture where education is also derided.
I have been following politics or involved in it for over 45 years.
I worked for Reagan when he first ran for Gov.
Get a clue. Sanford looks and talks like a funeral director. He will never draw crowds over 100 outside his state.
He sided up with anti war L Ron Paul early on.
You have no real history and background in American Politics. Sanford is a rich mans son with no reality in the real world
Mrs. Warchild pointed out to me that the HeeHaw crowd, the faux-blue collar types (most of whom live in the suburbs) love Palin because they see her as an animal-killin’, Jesus-spoutin’ (does she?) manual worker...just as they imagine themselves to be.
The reality is that she’s bright, ignorant, charming, and with a little coaching can communicate very well. She wasn’t ready for that last election. Couric gave her every chance...but with thinking people, when she couldn’t name anything she’s ever read or even a single Supreme Court decision...well, that was it!
You could be right about the blue collar thing. I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of hostility from blue collar types towards white collar types these days. Given the state of the economy, and who held the reins maybe I shouldn’t blame them.
Palin and Couric is another story. Personally I find Couric to be extremely empty and downright vapid, but to be honest, she didn’t make Sarah look bad. Sarah made Sarah look bad.
Out of curiosity, what bearing does Sanford being a rich man’s son have on this topic? Would you like him better if he were a poor man’s son? If so, why?

“Wow, and thank you too Shelly for that kind introduction, and thank you so much for your endorsement, and with your help, Shelly, in November, all of us, who consider ourselves progressive, yet at the same time we can be conservative, we’re gonna shatter the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America.
I was looking at Shelly’s resume before I came out here and I thought ‘Woo, there’s some diversity! I like this, it’s good.’ And, because, maybe this is the only time that I would get an endorsement like this, or an introduction, I’ve gotta share with you, it’s like kinda providential, yesterday what happened to me, I can use this today after that introduction from Shelly, I’m readin’ on my Starbuck’s mocha cup, okay, the quote of the day? You’ll never believe what the quote was. It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State, and U.N. Ambassador. And Madeleine has as her quote of the day for Starbuck’s — now she said it, I didn’t — she said, ‘There’s a place in hell for women who don’t support other women.’
Okay, now thank you so much for receiving that well. I did’t know how that was gonna go over. And now, California, let’s see, what a comment like I just made, how that is turned into whatever it’ll be turned into tomorrow in the newspaper.”
(According to CBS News’ Scott Conroy, Palin got the quote slightly wrong. Albright actually said, “There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.”)

> ‘I prefer the word “progressive,”’ she said. It has

Fabian Socialists have been calling themselves “Progressives” since at least the 1920s.
Remember John Dewey, lauded as “The Father of Progressive Education”? He was a signer of “The Humanist Manifesto” with a host of other atheists and “Progressives”, including Roger Baldwin founder of the ACLU, and eugenicist Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.
Why is a supposed conservative involving the state government in some kind of quasi-socialist business deal?
Right in the article it says that she's getting involved in private business dealings. That's not a governor's place -- not a conservative governor's place, at any rate....
Palin: Government Can Fix Social Ills
Sarah Palin's lasting legacy as mayor of the town of Wasilla, Alaska is a gleaming sports complex with an indoor soccer field, running track and of course, a hockey rink.To understand what makes the complex so much better than the old rink, all you have to do is sit down. The seats are heated.
This keeps hockey dads and moms like Sarah Palin a lot warmer as they watch their kids zoom around the ice. Palin's son and future son-in-law have made good use of the facility.
Local pundit Ann Kilkenny attended almost every city council meeting where Palin presided. While dozens of local organizations supported the building of the sports complex, Kilkenny did not, "I think it's self-serving, I'm not a hockey mom."
During Palin's recent convention speech she sharply criticized Senator Barack Obama for wanting to end Bush's tax cuts. She pointed to her sister and husband who are new small business owners in Alaska, "How are they going to be any better off if taxes go up?"
But in fact, the way the hockey rink was built was by raising taxes. Palin funded the project by pushing a special referendum that raised the sales tax by 25 percent. City hall records show the referendum was passed by twenty votes....
That’s right! “Progressive” means something REALLY BAD!
“All that progressives ask or desire is permission—in an era when development, evolution, is a scientific word—to interpret the Constitution according to the Darwinian principle; all they ask is recognition of the fact that a nation is a living thing and not a machine.”
