SARAH PALIN'S PING LIST!

"I don't want to sort of concede that we have to get used to this kind of thing because I think the majority of Americans don't want to put up with the blue bloods — and I say it with all due respect because I love the Bushes — but the blue bloods who want to pick and choose their winners instead of allowing competition to pick and choose the winners." -Sarah Palin
A day after Former First Lady Barbara Bush made a comment that Sarah Palin should stay in Alaska, Her Husband, George H.W. Bush came out and stated on Larry King Live that they support Mitt Romney run for the White House. Now the Bushes have every right to support anybody they want in the White House in 2012 but to tell somebody that they should go home and in essence don't try is something quite arrogant and high minded (Barbara's Bush made a derision comment and not some misrepresented choice of words from a simply old woman)
The disconnect between D.C. Beltway Republicans and Republicans/Conservatives throughout the country has been growing for nearly 20 years. We're told when GOP Establishment types win primaries in national elections, we have to get behind them because its the right thing and we as voters are scolded for rejecting them as though they are the right guys and girls for us and we are idiots for not seeing it, But when someone outside of the outstretched arms of the elites and ruling class in D.C. comes along then its the Country clubbers howling how these people are unkempt, naive and "lacks understanding how things works around here"
George H.W. Bush is a decent man and he was very grateful and admired the fact that Ronald Reagan gave him a opportunity as Vice President, but no sooner than when it was his turn to run for President he called for "kinder and gentler nation" taking a subtle swipe at Ronald Reagan's economic policies, as though it had been rough on too many innocent people
Bush was elected on the strength of Reagan’s record. But once safely in office, Bush appeared to forget what happened in the previous eight years and he ended up governing with a fiscal policy that was more like Bill Clinton’s than Ronald Reagan’s. By 1992, the Republican share of the presidential vote fell to 37%, a 22-point decline from Reagan’s total eight years earlier.
And we can go on with the likes of Bob Dole, an honorable man, but he was also a man famously described as having never met a tax he didn’t hike. Dole could only pick up 41% of the vote. John McCain was also an honorable man of sorts but it was Barrack Obama ,the Democrat, was seen by voters as more likely to deliver tax cuts than McCain.
How could the Party for 20 years led by the GOP Establishment, the party of Ronald Reagan let this happen?
But now when outside forces like a Palin, who has been known to challenge the GOP in Alaska comes along and questions the Party and tries to energize the conservative movement to time-tested truths that Reagan tried to espoused (he was ridicule early on for his simplistic ideas) she is mocked, ridicule, is told she is a joke and in essence told to go home or just rally for "us", the GOP machine!
Why can't these bozos let the free market of voters decide who they like and don't like? Palin has money and/or the ability to raise a lot of money and a base of supporters just like the Establishment candidates have, so why can't she go out there and try to win the nomination? Why can't she debate the issues with them and see who better relate to the average voter?
These Establishment types can do just like Palin and criticize the Republican Party for it's wrongs and not backed down when the liberal media howl and scream when they object to something they don't like; but they refuse to do it and more than just that, they don't want to do it because they want to be considered around the cocktail parties in D.C. as a sensible men and women. They want to be the prudent ones who wouldn't dare politicize the Federal Reserve decisions, but just claim that it's a bedrock institution and issue a mildly retort
Sarah Palin is right...the GOP will go the way of the Whig Party and become insignificant and irrelevant if it doesn't stop looking inside the Beltway for answers and think about its future beyond it on the outside looking in.
The Rinocratic Oligarchy put the USA in this mess...I have no problem with Sarah letting them know that the same minds that made the mess, probably aren’t capable of its solution.
There is not a single good reason We the People face the present economic circumstances. It can be summed up as the consequence of professional malpractice, by bankers and brokers, complicit with political and legislative professional malpractice in Congress. This whole situation clearly disabuses the need for a “professional” political class.
Barbara Bush, at least did’nt place “why bless your little heart” in front of her snarky Palin comment.
It’s time to clean house on both sides of the aisle.
I don’t know or care about Barbara Bush. If it were up to me I’d be on my knees begging Palin to run for president. It’s not just that she’s great (she is), it’s also that she’s all we got at this point. Hopefully, Barbara Bush will stay in Texas and shut her pie hole. Her family has done enough damage as it is.
I don’t want competition. I want the elites in both parties to go back to Europe where they can be happy.
She just went down a notch in my opinion of her
Or, did we have an open primary with a bunch of candidates who slugged it out from coast to coast with three or four having momentum at different times and several winning in different geo-graphical regions. I *thought* that is what I saw and participated in, and even fairly marginal candidates (House members) were given time in the debates, where they most acquitted themselves rather poorly ....
But, I'm sure Sarah knows more about it, and I'll have to take her word for McCain and her being chosen by the elite.
Now we’re talking turkey!
So true!
READ MY LIPS!! FUMR!! FUGB!!

/Snort...
did Bush really come out publicly for Romney?
McCain didn’t have the base solidly behind him going into August of 2008, He needed a conservative to rally for him to give him a chance to win....so Sarah is not an elite and just by the fact that the elites are bashing her greater than Obama tells you that fact.
Can’t do it! I’ll take Caribou Barbie over Ken doll any day.
He could be Sec Commerce. I can’t vote for a white gown funny underwear dude, though they make great conservative bedfellows.
The Bushes do not completely represent me. They haven’t since Bush I came out with his statement a new world order was comming. This on top of my feeling Bush I’s reason for his Iraq war was as much to save the Saudi regime as to assure the USA had oil supplies.The political history leading up to Bush I’s war is intriguing world politics. The Bushes have always been of the blue-blood class above the so-so peons. I have no particular angst
against blue-bloods except when they consider only their status above ordinary citizens of the USA. I would think that is the feeling similar to Palin’s.
Yes....Bush Sr and Barbara Bush came out and said they are friends with Romney and they would like to see Romney win the nomination and run for the WH
She has to overcome the media, the liberals and the establishment repubs. Uphill battle, by any stretch.
Piece of cake.
She’ll be the nominee.
