what we have now. I know that wouldn’t be had but at least she wouldn’t be bowing to the Saudi king.

Also, I doubt she would throw like a girl (at least she would have an excuse).

picture is on top with her admonition to Big Gov. and the media.

You go, girl! Use your platform for all it’s worth and make ‘em cry.

He will NEVER recover from his wretched behavior. The man’s a total disgrace as a governor, a husband and a father. To be honest, if I were his Argentinian tootsie, I’d be questioning my own judgment about he man as well. If she knew that he was really that big a sap, then she deserves what she gets.

you made a lot of sense in a very short paragraph.

I appreciated the line about “his double talk.” He makes progress for weeks, months, or years, then blows it on an ad with SanFranNan touting green projects.

But it wouldn’t be a bad thing if the Repubs and the conservatives could get organized enough to let each of them take certain, specialized roles. Sarah could be a dynamite spokesman on energy issues. Romney on economics and the dangers of state-run universal insurance plans. Coburn on health issues. Thune on Constitutional issues. McConnell on doddering. Oh, well.

In my lifetime the torch that defines the leadership of the conservative movement was never passed it was always taken once it fell.

Ronald Reagan had it until his term ended and when Bush 41 raised taxes and lost to Clinton Rush Limbaugh held the fort until Newt Gingrich rose to power in 1994. When his better days were behind him George W Bush took it for the first term but when he fell through the cracks and on the domestic front somewhere in the 2nd term that led to today with Obama and the liberal establishment in control.

In the immediate aftermath of Obama Rush Limbaugh stuck his neck out once again and dusted off the torch waiting for another statesman or politician to grab it and run with it. With Ensign, Sanford, making asses of themselves, Jindal getting smeared even before he was able to get started, the of the soldiers of the movement just begging that a politician please step up that appeals to them and more importantly demonstrate that they really want this torch.

Say whatever you want about Sarah Palin, she has clearly taken the single boldest move possible to take that torch. If the game changed it went from badminton to Russian roulette.

Only time will tell if she takes that torch to the White House or back to the wilderness so Limbaugh can point in the direction for the next politician to find.

Either way the role as leader of the conservative movement in this day and age will lead to greatness but it shortens the political lifespan in a hurry if you are not thoroughly prepared for it.

In the beginning Palin was not. That last speech she gave just proved to me that she clearly knows now. The endgame maybe glory and victory or it maybe forgotten and defeated. Question her intellect or knowledge if you want but I’m not going to question her motor within.

1. Hope ain’t a plan.
2. Conservatives don’t worship idols. It doesn’t work out. We stand on principle, on performance and on the facts.
3. Count up every “conservative” in the Congress and we’ll be a minority for the next hundred years.

Obviously I missed the “Reply to this” button. Sorry.

I believe SP didn’t quit her conservative values when she resigned as a Governor of Alaska. If Katesmith wants to support SP as her own “conservative candidate” for whatever politician office SP may take in the future, will that disenfranchise Katesmith here in RS?

On a second point: Is a Republican who does nothing but “pleases Obama than his electorate” still worthy of your promotion”? Most RS Directors can’t even swallow such kind of a Republican.

Just asking.

and all three have suggested that Sarah needs to stay home and raise her kids. Looking at your commenting history, I call Mitt-bot.

that she intended to rest.

Todd’s salary is pocket change compared to the advance she will receive for her book deal. And once the book is finished, she will make substantially more. And she has SarahPAC to help pay for her political activities. She will now have the money AND the time to travel around. Still wonder why she stepped down?

Somebody’s behind a proxy and making very mobyish comments.

Hmm…

Ah, bye.

Wouldn’t recommend challenging the other Murkowski whose pretty popular up there despite her father being a massive oligarch. She’s looking for ANWR people. And even though she would have plenty of PAC money it would be the only political seat which she absolutely HAD to finish her term.. Take Alaskan issues like ANWR and other forms of energy development to a grass roots level again and put pressure on future candidates to vote for it can do wonders for everybody.

Alaskan voters may not quite realize it now but they may just have a “4th delegate” to the lower-48
