But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith LOVE, endurance and gentleness. 1 Tim 6:11
We are now seeing a huge void starting to develop in the presidential race. We are obviously in need of an articulate Conservative after the display we saw on Thursday during the debates. As much as Perry makes an attractive candidate from a resume standpoint, the last thing the Republicans need is another tongue tied Texan. His performance from a verbal standpoint was a disaster as it was a debate nobody won but Rick Perry lost. There is now room for the minor candidates to make a move or an upcoming sweeping in of Sarah.
Could there ever be a lower standard for a leading candidate of not stubbing your toe too bad. Can anybody remember anything he said in any debate like Cain or Newt? Shouldn’t that be how we judge winners and losers of debates, rather than did not make a mistake? While the Establishmedia and their buddies in the Country Club are going to be saying how wonderful Mitt Rino is because he looks presidential and makes no gaffs by their estimation, we are witnessing another Country Club Coronation. Does anybody really believe that this will be the standard when our nominee goes against their messiah? No, just like McCain when he was the only one who was tolerable to the precious independents, the minute he was nominated he became the devil incarnate and so will Mitt.
Mitt actually made a huge mistake for most Conservatives and should be grilled again and again on it. He is using the turd rail of Social Security against Perry and saying the gummit needs to save SS and is not a program you are forced into. Does that mean we can opt out or is he simply saying what the media wants him to say? How do we balance the budget without addressing SS and Medicare? How do we solve SS if we can’t even speak about it truthfully? He apparently wants to keep kicking these nuclear warheads down the tracks rather than solving them. Why the candidates are letting him get away with it is a mystery, other than their fear of Perry taking the Tea Party vote?
Perry has a huge problem in a number of areas. The most glaring of course is his inability to speak or articulate the conservative message. Part of the problem is that he has not been a conservative for all that long being a Dem supporting Gore against Bush and doesn’t thoroughly understand it. His don’t have a heart comment revealed his lack understanding. He wrote a fine book but it was mostly clichéd thoughts without any real depth of knowledge how conservatism and freedom go hand in hand to him. He is a great Governor who has fought the Federal encroachment, but he hasn’t really thought through how capitalism works. His continued snarky sniping at Mitt was annoying as he should have ignored Mitt rather than continually turning every question into an attack that he didn’t handle well at all. He couldn’t even name the three main Mitt flops of abortion, gun control and Obamacare which he should know in his sleep.
The minor candidates have a chance to make some headway if they can articulate the Republican message in a way conservatives can get behind. We can’t simply say we need to close the EPA and Dept of Education without giving reasons why. Cain touched on it when he said they have gone too far by regulating dust. His next statement should have been that this is going to put farmers out of business which is going to drive up the cost of food at a time we can’t afford it. He could have said there are examples just like this throughout the EPA with oppressive regulations. There are these excessive regulations in the energy industry and every other industry to let those precious moderates know why you need to close or rein in these agencies and how it affects their lives and budgets as well as crippling our economy.
Santorum broke through with a couple of excellent answers and is always strong in social issues. He is becoming the more conservative version of Hucklebee and knows conservatism inside and out. With the collapse of Perry who many of us were hoping could carry the banner, there is an opening for someone else. They are going to try to convince us once again that Dole and McCain are the only ones who the public will stomach in complete dismissal of the last election or the Tea Party elections. If a true TP Conservative were elected it would be the end of their political power too.
The fact is the pundiots are dead wrong as always due to the echo chamber. The polls are absolutely fluid and the only consistent is the distaste for Democrats. By definition a moderate or independent is a follower who is always in search of someone to tell him what to think. These moderates are desperate and starving for a leader who can explain to them which way to go and what to do. We need a strong willed conservative who can articulate the American free market theory.
It is a difficult task because you have to convince the people there is no such thing as a jobs program and the very best thing the gummit can possibly do is nothing. This goes against most people’s logic but a true leader can and must do that in the face of overwhelming odds from the buggy whip media and their comrades in the DNC. We need a leader willing to tear down the gummit and attack waste and corruption. We have seen our best candidates wilt under that onslaught from the Ponzi scheme truth and Bachmann has shot herself in the foot too many times and doesn’t seem ready for their onslaught.
The Tea Party and Conservatives know who the person is who has the charisma, who is articulate enough to handle this job, it is Sarah. We need someone who knows capitalism and America from inside their heart and the ability to voice that philosophy. This decision is not going to be about Sarah, like Moses, David and Paul, her Country needs a leader and she must wear that mantle in spite of her hesitations. The fact that she embarrasses the Country Club and their NEstablishment is an added bonus. They haven’t been as embarrassed by a candidate since Reagan.
America is in desperate need of a leader who has a presence both on the domestic stage which is the international stage who can articulate American values. She is firmly and soundly based in her life both politically and spiritually and as the people come to know her and her crowds begin to grow this race will turn into Snow White and the 15 dwarfs. She will make these debates into Conservative solutions like energy, not are you a homophobe and why. This is no knock on them or their messages, but we are at a turning point in America and we need someone who will make some very difficult decisions rather than playing political games. Pretending SS is untouchable for personal gain should be an automatic disqualifier for our Party. Like Ruth in the Bible, we need someone of selfless integrity who is a breath of Alaskan air to blow through the swamp gas of DC. Sarah Palin is that person to march her Country back to freedom and liberty.
Pray for America

I like Sarah, but am annoyed with her for leaving us gasping for air wondering if she will run or not. It shows a bit of disrespect for her supporters, IMNSHO.
One of the biggest complaints of Conservatives against the Lyin’ King is that he has never run so much as a lemonade stand, has never had to meet a payroll, and has no executive experience. After all, we are talking about the EXECUTIVE Branch of government.
That’s why I like Herman Cain. Also he has NO Political Garbage behind him and is not beholding to the Country Club Republican set. He refuses to play the race card, and when somebody referred to him as an “African-American”, he politely corrected her, saying, “No, I am not African-American; I am an AMERICAN who happens to be Black.”
Sarah is a wonderful person and I pray for her daily, but I don’t think she is going to run.
Just my humble opinion.
Cheers!
That is classic Caip!
Me Too!
Nice....not sure how many people will catch that one!
Sarah is reading the green before taking her shot, patience from the gallery as the political landscape begins to break her way
“That’s why I like Herman Cain. Also he has NO Political Garbage behind him and is not beholding to the Country Club Republican set.

I agree with you about Herman Cain. He could make a REAL black President, not a phony.
One of the best movie sequels ever Back to the
Future...see, we get it.
Documentary on the Masonic order of Masons on tv, trying
to place an evil and mysterious aura on them, decoded
two words from their records. One was Genesis, the second
was Palin.
“...but am annoyed with her”
I am annoyed that you are annoyed because you confuse your own destiny with that of another person and you therefore do not understand your own density.
Wow! Destiny?
I am annoyed that you are annoyed that poster is annoyed that..
Understood, as is everyone else who is ready to hit the streets. Her strategy seems to be working and the less she has to raise the less she is owned by the interest groups.
She can campaign and not really campaign knowing that elections now are not decided until the last 3 weeks and ofter the last few days.

Obama had no experience but cult worship, and I won't go there on the Right. When the candidates starting talking solutions, then I will listen not
Gottcha debate moments that give us nothing. Like any business I will
look at one’s resume. Jobs or an environment friendly to job growth and
job creation is my FOCUS...the rest is diversionary propaganda and
doesn't mount to a hill of beans in the reality of building a strong and safe America for All.
I agree with your determining facts for choosing a candidate 2012.
We also need to know the facts of why an issue that now pops up in scoring debate points did so occur under another point in time under different societal determining factors. Times change, policy changes, the world changes and we move on.
Been in an Apple Store lately? That's an example of Growth under good business leadership. In a city that would only make up a few blocks in a NY or Chicago, this store must have had 100 people including sales agents. (sent from my iPad which is faster then my yr old wireless PC

Indeed.
America was founded upon Inalienable Rights endowed by Our Creator. Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.
The Free Enterprise System is a prerequisite for those Inalienable Rights to be equally extended to all.
I am self-employed. If my clients don’t prosper, then they can’t “use” my “product”. (I teach music.)
If I want to teach a poor child on a volunteer basis, I will. But it has to be MY choice. And I have done it on many occasions.
Prosperity and Freedom encourage charitable deeds.
Government Interference makes people selfish and fearful for their very livelihood. In that kind of environment, the “Nanny State” prospers, NOT the People.
I caught it. She is a warrior for sure.
Palingenesis, means to regenerate. To restore something that was lost. I find that almost chilling considering what Palin is trying to do. Is it prophetic?......Maybe, who knows.
