We demand an upgrade.

Mike Pence for House leader.

Palin for Pres 2012.

This short clip reveals exactly why I, and at least 55 million Americans, LOVE Sarah Palin.
What a breath of fresh air.
Coincidentally, this clip also reveals why those Washington insiders and moderate RINOs are so afraid of her. You just know if she was sure who spread the lies and rumors about her she would have named their names and left them to the mercy of Operation Leper.
Go Sarah!

For good reason. Maybe that’ll wake up the conservative movement to take back Washington from our ElectedElites.

Palin was attacked for one reason only, she is an outsider and threatens the cozy incestual Washington DC gravy train.

???

She’s a bigger person than I.

But you’re absolutely right, despite the fact the media is slanted against them, too many Republican leaders have tried playing “nice” with the MSM. I will give some credit to Bush’s most recent press secretary (Dana Perrino (sp?) is it?). She has shown some spunk and fire and has not always kow-towed to the MSM.

This situation could cause a real meltdown of the GOP. Where are you John McCain and why haven’t you done something about it? If this keeps up, I wouldn’t blame Sarah for abandoning the party that is currently abandoning her. And if she leaves, she will take a lot of people with her.

This is the kind of conservative leadership we need. Conservative leadership that will fight for what we believe in!!!

Where do I mail my check? Where do I volunteer? Lets start the prep work for 2012!!!

And DON’T make Todd whip some preening little debate prepper’s a$$.

anybody else involved in the McCain trainwreck. I see the old fart is going to be on Jay Leno who relentlessly made fun of him. I don’t know how McCain is going to talk with his lips full of Jay’s ass.

She lacks experience in handling the press. The Katie Couric interview (although most likely edited by CBS to make her look as bas as possible) would have gone much better had Palin shown some of the fire that she is showing now along with some, for lack of a better word, “deftness.”

President Kennedy was a master at handling the press. He met hostile questions with wit and a way of turning the question back on the questioner. In the type of hostile media environment that the GOP has to operate in, such skills almost become mandatory to those seeking national office. President Reagan had at least a glimmer of Kennedy’s skill; Bush I and II were almost the anti-Kennedy in terms of their press-handling skills. A big part of the GOP’s losses in 2006 and 2008 can be directly attributed to President Bush’s utter failure to lead his party competently and effectively in a hostile environment.

As much as I was repulsed by this obvious attempt at stabbing Governor Palin in the back, I have to admit it was nice listening to her rip into another Washington political hack.

One of the real downers of losing this election was that she would have to go back to Alaska.

I may be a complete idiot for saying this, but could she start her campaign for 2010 now, because the greater 48 will be boring and wimpy without her.

But the question is – what do you believe in?

Obama, in his election night address, said, ‘Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.’ And continues, ‘Those are values that we all share.’

So self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity are common goals. What are conservative goals? How are they different?

Small government and fiscal discipline? From 1946 to today, Democrat presidents pushed the deficit up by 3.2 percent per year. Republican presidents, on the other hand, increased the budget deficit by 9.7 percent (thanks to Reagan and Bush Jr.). In other words, since 1946 Republican presidents have outspent Democrat presidents by almost 3-1. At no time since 1945 when Republicans have been in total charge of both elected branches of government have they ever reduced spending. As President Reagan entered office in 1981 he repeatedly called for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, yet never submitted a balanced budget himself. Many blame the Democratically controlled Congress for the “big spending” during his administration, though Republicans controlled the Senate for the first six years of his two terms. Only during the last two years of the Reagan administration was the Congress completely controlled by Democrats, and the records show that the growth of the debt slowed during this period. It appears that the frequently referenced Reagan’s Conservative mythology is contrary to the truth, he was an award winning, record setting liberal spender and government grower.

So clearly small government and fiscal discipline are not core values.

Lower taxes? The top marginal tax rate has been reduced steadily since the 1930’s. Under Nixon, they were 70%. Now Obama is suggesting raising these taxes from 35 to 39%, and is labelled a Marxist trying to implement socialism?

The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article Six of the United States Constitution provides that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States”.

So, religion is not mentioned in the constitution and is not required for holders of any public office. Is religion important to conservatives?
Returning to the original question, what is important to conservatives? What would they like to see in the Republican party in the future, or what ideals would they like to see in the next Republican leader? What are conservative views?

I am genuinely interested in knowing what are the cornerstones of conservatism in the United States?

Way to go Sarah. Let ‘em have it.

That is so refreshing to hear one of ours putting it so bluntly.

I hope she takes after wayward Democrats and members of the media (but I repeat myself) in a similar manner when they are cowardly, cruel, mean-spirited, immature, unprofessional jerks. She will have plenty of opportunities.
