Palin in 2012
- Thread starter Walter
- Start date
Lou Dobb's has not declared a party yet. I am pretty open as to what party actually gets in, as long as this group of dweebs are replaced. There could be some new Democrats with a more realistic approach, I would support them, but not as long as Pelosi and mob are around.
Hating Sarah
By C. Edmund Wright
The Alaska Governor is far more than someone who appeals to the (conservative) base, she is someone who can make the base appeal to America.This compact yet comprehensive diagnosis was made in the early hours of the Palin Derangement Syndrome (PDS) outbreak, when Sarah Palin was first being introduced to the nation. It still rings true as the Jurassic media continues a childish obsession with someone who does not control a single government lever. Having said that, PDS has now matured past epidemic to full-blown pandemic status with a derangement component that is now insanely intense.... (Read Full Article)

Very insightful article.
Maybe not, but if he runs for New Jersey Senate, it will have to be as a Republican or a third party candidate, he cannot run as a Democrat, since there already is a Democratic incumbent.
And you are pretty open to which party actually gets in? Who are you kidding? You want Republicans to get in, you as much as say so in your next sentence, when you claim that you will support some democrats as long as they don’t support Pelosi. You know that isn’t going to happen, it is unheard of for a House member not to support the Speaker of his own party. He may not vote with the Speaker all that much, but when it comes to supporting her for election of the Speaker, he most certainly will support her.
So don’t act non partisan, you want Republicans to get is, just say so.
No doubt by a right wing extremist. But then aren't all the articles by right wing extremists insightful and accurate?
With an opening line like that, who could take the article seriously?
Palin doesn't make the base appeal to America, she makes herself look woefully over her head.
I seriously disagree, Sarah Palin would be very good at managing the baking department at a rummage sale., but Prez, uh uh.
You are absolutely right, I will support a real Democrat, not a Liberal Socialist like her. Pelosi should be up for reelection, one can only hope. If Democrats want their jobs in 2010 and 2012, she and a few others will have to be removed from their positions. (Pelosi removed as Speaker of the House etc.) No, what I want is Left Wing Liberal Socialists kicked out.
Pelosi isn’t going anywhere ironsides. Apparently her seat is a strong, safe Democratic seat. If Democrats lose her seat, they will be lucky to get 50 seats nationwide.
No, Pelosi is going to be around a lot longer, unless she chooses to retire. The only way she won’t be a Speaker is if Democratic Party loses the control of the House. If that doesn’t happen, you will be stuck with her for a long time yet, like it or not.
And Democrats must remove her if they want to keep their jobs in 2010 and 2012? Do you really expect them to take advice from a Republican?

By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan fisherman, as posted in comments on the MOVEON ad about Sarah Palin:
I've spent the last 45 of my 66 years in a commercial fishing town in Alaska . I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style, or rhetoric; it's about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to tell you here.
1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country who has ever done anything similar.
2- Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested so Sarah told them, "Don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country who has done anything similar.
3- Another thing she did when she walked into the governor's office get the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
4- Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America.. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.
5- For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth, they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started. This summer, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.
6- President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the Alaska legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath.
By the way, she was content to return to Alaska after the national election and go back to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now, these adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. They shoulda known better.
You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the Democratic party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents' wives.
So, "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your guts, determination, honesty, and morals.
I rest my case.
Only FOOLS listen to the biased media.

Palin and the future
By Christopher Chantrill
[FONT=times new roman,times]A generation ago liberals taught me to believe that Ronald Reagan was an extremist and a lightweight. Then I went to a Republican caucus in 1980 as a Bush supporter and met the Reagan supporters. I realized that they were the little people, mechanics, technicians, churchgoers, folks that used to be Democrats.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]Now liberals are teaching us all to believe that Sarah Palin is a flake and a lightweight.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]As the old saying goes: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]The critics are right about Sarah Palin's memoir, Going Rogue. There's a lot of score-settling, although usually the culprits are nameless.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]Still, the critics will never like Palin. It is not just her hometown gushiness that, to them, it is like scratching on a blackboard. It is more like the cultural chasm between the Greek immigrants and the desiccated liberals in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]Remember how embarrassed the heroine Toula Portokalos was about her chaotic Greek immigrant family? But the joke was really on the nice upscale parents of her WASPy romantic interest, Ian Miller. "Dry as toast" was the verdict of her father, Gus, on Miller's parents.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]That's my verdict on the snooty liberals that sneer at Sarah Palin: Dry as toast![/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]Modern Liberals are fortunate children. They emerged in the late 19th century, children of the wealthy. They were ashamed of their crude fathers, up from nothing. They wanted to be refined, unlike father. They wanted to help the poor, but with other peoples' money. They wanted to give the poor an education, but with other peoples' money. They wanted to do creative work, and they wanted tenure.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]Refined is something Sarah Palin has never been. Tenure is something she has never had. She worked through high school, waitressing, cleaning offices, inventorying groceries. Then she got scholarships and worked to pay for college. Then she joined boyfriend Todd in Bristol Bay, Alaska, salmon fishing, working slimy fish processing jobs at the canneries. Off season Todd would work as a baggage handler and she would work at customer service and part-time reporting.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]Picked by Wasilla mayor John Stein, Palin ran for city council and won in 1992. After two terms she ran against Stein for mayor in 1996 and won. Then she ran for Lieutenant Governor in 2002 and lost. She upset incumbent Governor Murkowski in the primary and beat the Democrat in the general election to become Alaska's governor in 2006.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]No wonder the liberals hate her. The whole point of public education, of business regulation, or rampant credentialism is to smother people like her before they have a chance to get anywhere.[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]No wonder the McCain campaign couldn't handle her. She's a force of nature. But what comes next?[/FONT]
[FONT=times new roman,times]We know from Palin's book tour that she has a base. You know who they are, because you've seen them in line at the book stores. They are the aspiring white working/middle class, the same people that turned out for Reagan a generation ago: "Ray the principal, Jose the Hairdresser, Peggy the Nurse, Bob the Cop, Joe the Plumber." Today's Democratic Party, once the party of the little people, has nothing to say to them.[/FONT]

Sounds like a regular Alan Keyes, ironsides. If he is running in a safe Republican seat, he probably will be elected. In a black majority seat, he doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell.
But he does use the right, politically correct language (politically correct for the Republican base that is). He talks of carrying pitchforks and torches, swarming the citadel of the infidels, chasing the evil out of the village etc. He sounds like the typical tea bagger, a typical birther, typical member of the Republican base.
Indeed, Palin's candidacy (or lack thereof) is entirely an internal matter for Americans, and therefore they are free to do as they choose, and it is our role to support them.
''liberals are teaching us all to believe that Sarah Palin is a flake and a lightweight.''
LOL! McCain and his camp say a lot worse about her.
