Winning the presidency has a lot more to do with the charisma of the leader than it does with the policies that are brought to the American dinner table. Just look at the last sorrowful example the country was saddled with in 2008 with the current president. There is reportedly, current intrigue moving about in the backrooms of GOP political leadership within Romney’s campaign concerning Sarah Palin. It is suggested that Romney is sitting pat on the idea of not issuing Sarah Palin VIP credentials to the August RNC Convention in Tampa, let alone giving her any real speaking role.
The pundits and Palin detractors having been speaking recently about how toxic the idea would be to let a energized Sarah Palin speech loose upon the conventioneers and of course, into millions of American homes across the nation. There are even those within the Republican establishment who want to hang everything that went so badly south in the John McCain 2008 presidential run at the feet of Sarah Palin. Of course the accusation is absolutely unfounded.
Whatever went badly for Senator McCain had more to do with his own inability to project leadership, than it had to do with smarmy characterizations of Sarah Palin by comedienne Tina Fey portrayal of Palin in Saturday Night Live sketches. Or gotcha sophomoric media antics of then CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric.
What has happened since then is a course correction in the grassroots embodied in the emergence of the Tea Party. Its power and strength was given birth out of the out of the president’s failure to lead, except through growing taxation, and failing trillion dollar bailout deficit policies.
Millions of grassroots people became patriots with a principled purpose, in small towns, farming communities, suburbs and cities. They refused to be ...

Actually she deserves to deliver the acceptance speech, but the GOP-e took care of that.
Good article with concise points for the Romney campaign to answer.
Many at the republican convention are socialists.. although technically they are fascists... Fascism and socialism are sisters.. They do the same thing only differently..
The problem is democracy, which is the political disease, that has socialism as a symptom.. Most republicans love democracy as a holy word.. ignoring that democracy is Mob Rule by mobsters..
NO democracy has ever yet been democratic.. none..
Democracy was and is a lie.. thats why the US used to be a republic..
It will take RADICAL change to re-arrange the United States as a republic..
Conservative change will NOT do it..
Conservatives are blowing up an empty pipe.. there is nothing there..
YOU must be a radical to reverse America from its fate..
Democracy is the road to socialism. -Karl Marx
Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx
Have Sarah Palin make the Romney nominating speech.
Which would be painfully obvious if she were to appear because she would suck all the oxygen out of the room. They want to avoid the comparison ... Sarah vs. Mitt .... true excitement/passion vs. 'not Obama' .... conservative vs. Obama-lite ..... etc.
Lookie who will be the Key Note speaker.
We can’t have anybody showing up the nominee, doncha know. All speakers must be even duller than the Mittster.
Which is precisely why she won’t be allowed to speak.
Love your screen name, welcome to FR!
During the primary Romney was the very bottom of my choices.
Have never much cared for him
Find it really difficult to consider voting for him.
Most conservatives are going to have difficulty voting for him.
Many, many Americans are done with the nonsense of voting for the lesser of two evils, which, is still voting for evil.
If he snubs Sarah Palin at the convention,he can kiss the conservative vote goodbye and there for any remote chance of winning the election.
GOP continues to be the party of stupid. How can we get rid of these morons in the leadership? Seems like the obvious answer is to first not vote for Romney.
“When something goes radically in one direction, the only way to change it is go radically in the other direction. Taking it to the middle just won’t do it.” Paraphrasing Tony Robbins.
The GOPE are trying to relegate Palin to ancient history as fast as possible, as well as assigning all conservative contenders to the cheap seats. They are deemed a threat.
Conservatives are OUT.
Bank it.
Good work, hp.
Now that would work for me much more than her making the keynote speech...and it would solidify the base
>> “Conservatives are OUT.
Bank it.” <<
.
The GOPE is working on being OUT! - Bank it.
.
Far as I know, Saint Sarah took care of that herself when she decided not to run.
Working on it? They are OUT already with the conservative base of the conservative base, if you get my drift. Just call us the base’s, base. :)
I have to answer for my actions. I will NOT vote for another Baal worshiper! PERIOD!
