Paul/Palin 2012?
As you all know, I’m a Ron Paul supporter. Have been for years. However, I also love Sarah Palin. I love that she took on the corruptocrats in Alaska–in both parties–and won. I love how she sold the governor’s jet on eBay. I love how she raised five kids while running a huge state. And I love how she leads the media around by the nose. But most of all, I love how she makes Leftists like Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann explode into misogynistic frenzies and reveal themselves as the raging hypocritical sexists that they are.
Sarah Palin has a track record of kicking ass, taking names, and not giving a sh*t what the Democrat-controlled media thinks.
Just like Ron Paul.
There are ongoing efforts by Sarah Palin supporters to get her to reconsider her decision to not run for president. However, I personally think it’s a moot point. She has missed the deadlines to appear on the ballot in several of the important early caucuses and primaries….as the presidential candidate.
But VP candidates don’t “run” for the office of Vice President in the primaries. They’re put on the ticket relatively late in the game.
So lately I’ve been having this secret fantasy about a Ron Paul/Sarah Palin ticket. I don’t know how much they have interacted, but she has supported his economic views on several TV appearances…and like Ron Paul, she has the cojones to wade into the cesspit that is Washington, D.C. and clean house. She was relentless in cutting graft and corruption in Alaska, so I imagine she’d be pretty good at it in Washtingon, too.
And this election is going to be all about the economy. Every single poll that has come out in the last 12 months shows that the American people are screaming, “It’s The ECONOMY, STUPID!” The only real objection most conservatives have to Ron Paul is his non-interventionist foreign policy. It would be interesting to hear Sarah Palin’s take on it, given her son Track’s military service.
The Democrat-Controlled Media is obsessed with Sarah Palin. They can’t stop talking about her. But their strategy in dealing with Ron Paul is to pretend that he doesn’t exist. (A Pew Research Center poll revealed that Rick Perry gets the most media coverage, and Ron Paul gets the least.)
So I think it’s interesting to ponder on how the media could pile on to Sarah Palin, while simultaneously never mentioning the man at the top of the ticket.
Here are just a few things Sarah Palin and Ron Paul have in common:
Ron Paul and Sarah Palin are both pro-life. They’re both people of faith. They both have incredibly strong families.
They both appear to be fundamentally decent and kind people, and clearly, they both love America.
They’ve both run for office numerous times before, and presumably, any possible skeletons have been dragged out into the sunshine.
They both have rabidly enthusiastic bases of support. Easily the most energized volunteers.
And both of them care more about their families and American than politics or running for re-election. However, both have learned to work with principled Democrats.
Both Ron Paul and Sarah Palin are hated by the Cocktail Party GOP. Both Ron Paul and Sarah Palin are loathed by the Democrat-Controlled Media.
Neither Ron Paul nor Sarah Palin would spend a moment pandering to either one.
So here’s my question for you, Dear Reader. What are the flaws in my fantasy football Dream Ticket? Let’s do some armchair vetting (which is more than Obama got in 2008).
How could the Paul/Palin ticket encourage GOP and Independent turnout? How could it suppress Obama/Biden turnout?
If Ron Paul announced Sarah Palin as a running-mate, would you vote for him in the primary?
Would you vote for Ron Paul and Sarah Palin in the general election?
What kind of attacks could they expect from the Cocktail Party?
What kind of attacks could they expect from the Democrat-Controlled Media?
What kind of attacks could they expect from Obama? How would they react?
I’d love to hear your take on this, Sarah Palin fans!

What’s on your mind today?
Are you out of Thanksgiving leftovers yet? (I’m not…the cat and I are still eating really, really well….mmmmm.)
Whoa. Tell Us What You REALLY Think, Donald.
I Miss You, Sarah.
A plea to get her to run. I’m afraid it’s too little too late. But I still miss Sarah….
Kathleen on Neal Boortz
My favorite talk radio host is libertarian Neal Boortz out of Atlanta. He was very anti-Ron Paul during the 2008 election (which saddened me greatly.) However, the times, they are a-changin’. Ron Paul debuted as a guest on the Neal Boortz Show about 45 minutes ago…and it was a great segment. Very happy for my candidate.
So happy, in fact, I called the show and got through! I got a mini-segment of my own with Neal, talking about the importance of electing a true fiscal conservative who is more concerned about saving the country than about getting re-elected.
I just got the limited-government message out to over 5 million listeners, and all it took was a toll-free phone call.
Anyone can do this! If you have a candidate you want to support, or a point you want to make about the Democrat-controlled media or the Obama Regime, call a talk show with a couple of talking points jotted down. Be polite, be respectful, be engaging, and get your message across.
Leftist Mayor Called Out for Occupooper Hypocracy; Responds by Auditing TEA PARTY
The administration of Mayor Dwight C. Jones has given the Richmond, Virginia OccuPoopers free reign in a city park called Kanawha Plaza. Since starting their illegal occupation in mid-October, taxpayers of Richmond have provided the OccuPoopers with portable toilets, trash pickup, and other services worth at least $7,000.
Costs of additional police, helicopter (!?) and incarcerations would probably push this total into the tens of thousands of dollars. The administration had declined to enforce a number of laws on its books that require permits for events on City property, and forbid sleeping overnight in parks.
Naturally, the law-abiding (and likely neat and tidy) members of the Richmond Tea Party had paid for permits for all of their previous Kanawha Plaza rallies. They paid over $10,000 for portable toilets, permits, police protection, and all the other costs associated with using the Plaza for a pubic event. And they (bizarrely) thought that all groups using City property should have to actually follow the law.
The OccuPoop hit the fan when Richmond Tea Party spokeswoman Colleen Owens pointed out the discriminatory treatment the OccuPoopers were receiving at the expense of the taxpayers of Richmond. “The city of Richmond is allowing Occupy Richmond to blatantly break the law day after day while forcing other groups to strictly comply,” Ms. Owens said in a press release that landed her on Neil Cavuto’s show on Fox News.
But apparently it was the invoice the Tea Party submitted to the City of Richmond that really got the mayor’s boxers in a bunch. Yes, the Tea Party folks invoiced the city to get a refund of all the money they had paid to use the park.
So, in a completely non-shocking move, the Leftist mayor of Richmond, Virginia has responded to the Tea Party’s call for equal treatment by auditing the Tea Party.
Needless to say, OccuPoop Richmond and Mayor Jones have earned major Down Twinkles from HillBuzz.org over this blatantly unfair treatment.

So, what’s going on in your world? What are people talking about? What are your friends and family talking about? What stories are the Democrat-controlled media covering up today?
Just a housekeeping note…our enhanced security procedures are throwing a lot of false positives, so more comments are going into the moderation ether than usual. We’re working on it, but please be patient while we sort things out.
