Investors Business Daily Editorials completely supported Sarah’s stance in her Washington Post Editorial of this week regarding Cap and Trade.

And also something that I think all sides need to deal with –
Hate Speech

but if we’re gonna hash…

700,000 grand in six months may be impressive to you… it is to me… but when you compare her to shoulder to shoulder to Mitt… well… here’s a link made special for this discussion
Palin’s PAC pulls in $733,000. Romney’s PAC racks in $1,360,000

Now… I’m not pulling for Romney over Palin… I’m only illustrating the point.

It won’t be until Washington elites prop her up… and they will determine her “viability” not the P-Bots…

I don’t want to discourage you… but I’m just viewing this pragmatically… I really hope the P-bots can prove me wrong… it may change the climate of presidential politics… but I’m not so convinced it is that easy.

Those jokes weren’t mean-spirited, they were pointing out a fact, and given that Chelsea is going to be POTUS soon enough, it’s only fair to preemptively attack her.

I don’t think Bristol or Willow have political futures planned though. I don’t know if even their mother does.

So what’s your point…I show up…and I’m working to change things…but none of that changes who and what these “Elites” are and what they’re about and it has nothing whatsoever to do with how WE define “Elites”

If I don’t raise my voice with the people that are supposed to be on the same sides of the issue, what makes me think I can make any headway with those having opposing viewpoints?

I have been recruiting and recruiting and recruiting. The next meeting should be quite interesting.

Show up to your county party meetings. Learn who’s who. Find out who’s good and who’s bad.

Work to improve things in your area.

You don’t ever have to run for office to represent your views in the party.

Bad moby, very bad.

You do a good job of exposing your double standards – and your PDS and misogyny. I doubt you’re going to last the hour unless our moderators are too busy with the rest of their lives. Hope it was worth it to you.

Just sayin’

(Read about some female entrepreneurs — women leaders often make bold steps, by striking out on their own.)

“There is a difference between being a good leader and being a good executive of an organization.

Presidents don’t get to quit and go home because the press and the bureaucrats are being mean. They have to step up and fight back on their terms.

So what she’s doing is probably great for her, but it’s simply delusional, personality cultish thinking to consider her a credible possible candidate for President.”

Obviously Governor Palin is stepping up and fight back on her own terms. (Nixon Quit)

I said the woman does not have to follow Regan or Newt. Heck she can run for President if she wants. She can do whatever she wants and voters can do whatever they want.

Why don’t you get over yourself? The only thing you have any control over is your own individual vote. Why insult her supports as “…delusional, personality cultish….”

Your comment was stupid not because you don’t think Palin can be President, but because you wrote.
“You can’t “blaze your own path” and also prove you’re a good executive at the same time.”
It is a stupid comment and changing the point to some Palin can’t be President rant, instead of conceding the obvious is what I find disappoint about some RedState posters.
“There is a difference between being a good leader and being a good executive of an organization.”
Of course there is, but that is not what you wrote. You wrote: “You can’t “blaze your own path” and also prove you’re a good executive at the same time.”

that said…that dog don’t hunt to use an old expression.

You keep saying over and over again something like this:

Ranting about the elites is easier than going and earning power yourself. Heck you don’t even have to get up.

As if not acquiring power for myself makes my arguments less true. I would also point out…(excluding your exalted position on Red State which I thank you for)…that you’ve never bothered to acquire any power for yourself so are your rants to be ignored as well?

I might think that I could be a decent alderman or something like that, but I don’t have any discretionary income, or even a job right now and am spending most of my time going to classes and looking for work.

Elitism is something that is natural. That is to say some people have a much easier time of it than the average person. By that I mean they have unusual talents and gifts, coupled with, in many cases, a step up the ladder in the first place, coming from a good family or attending the high end schools.

Such people naturally are over represented among our leaders. I see nothing wrong with that. But as Ace said, after a while the get a certain mindset and they become our “betters” and forget that this is supposed to be a government by the people.
