Sarah Palin
Todd Palin gives Newt a Thumbs-Up
Todd Palin has thrown his hat in the ring…for Newt Gingrich. It may not be as explosive as an endorsement from Sarah but it’s the next best thing and some people are saying that Todd may be speaking for the entire Palin family so it could go a long way in helping Newt’s numbers…especially in South Carolina.
I am still baffled by the silence of the Tea Party. I read several articles today that said that the Tea Party wasn’t well organized on a national level and was fractured on who to throw their support behind. Most felt like Herman Cain was the man but, obviously, many were disappointed by how that turned out. There isn’t one central “leader” of the movement so different Tea Party groups are supporting different candidates. Some like Rick Santorum…some Rick Perry…some Newt Gingrich but none are publicly behind Mitt Romney. Perhaps the Tea Party, at this moment in time, will function best on a local level…helping to elect conservative candidates to the House and Senate. Who knows?
I think that having at least one Palin behind Newt will draw in some of the Tea Party crowd…hopefully.
I really like Todd Palin….a lot.

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!
Sarah Palin Endorses Ron Paul’s Libya Policy
It’s getting colder and colder in Hell these days.
Last week, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh endorsed Ron Paul’s plan to slash the federal budget by $1 trillion, eliminate 5 unconstitutional departments, and roll back federal spending to 2006 levels.
This week, GOP Frontrunner Sarah Palin is giving Ron Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy a thumbs-up.
“You’ve got to give it to Ron Paul. Whether you agree with everything he says or not, at least he is one there in Congress trying to make our President stick to the law and understand that Congress does have a role to play in these foreign policy decisions that are made and Ron Paul, I think hit the nail on the head, when he came out and said Obama had better be careful when he interjects himself and our country in other nations’ business.” — Sarah Palin
I know there are some of you who won’t read this post on principle, because the name of GOP Frontrunner “Ron Paul” is in the headline.
I’d like to submit to you that unless you’ve made up your mind about GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul after reading about all his positions, and comparing them with the output of the current occupant of the White House, you’re just being manipulated by the Cocktail Party GOP and/or the government-controlled media.
Seriously. If you actually have a visceral emotional reaction to the name Ron Paul, ask yourself where that visceral reaction came from. If you’re afraid, it’s probably thanks to the government-controlled media and public school system, which never taught you critical thinking skills.
If you’re angry, you’re probably wearing a blue blazer and khaki pants, sitting next to your cucumber and mayo sandwich, waiting for that call from the Romney campaign to tell you when the next Cocktail Party is scheduled.
Journalists and editors overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. So, when you listen to “news” stories about GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul (or indeed, any other GOP candidate), it’s as though you’re letting the Democrat National Committee pick your candidate for you.
I can’t emphasize this enough.
When the Mainstream Media Democrat National Committee shoves Mittens Romneycare down my throat, and gives just 2% of its news coverage to GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul, I become even more interested in what Ron Paul has to say.
Especially when, despite the ongoing media blackout, Ron Paul is #3 in fundraising among GOP candidates (just $5 million behind Rick “I Heart Illegals” Perry), and has won or placed second in over a dozen straw polls of active grassroots republican voters, including the Big Three: CPAC, the Iowa Straw Poll, and the Values Voters Straw poll.
- Finishes 2nd in the New Hampshire Straw Poll
- Wins the CPAC Straw Poll
- Wins the Phoenix, Arizona Tea Party Straw Polls
- Wins the Republican Liberty Caucus of California Presidential Straw Poll
- Finishes 2nd among currently running candidates in the St. Anselm College Republicans Straw Poll
- Wins the New Orleans, Louisiana Republican Leadership Conference Straw Poll
- Wins the Clay County, Iowa Republican Party Straw Poll
- Finishes 2nd in the Iowa Straw Poll, by less than 1% of the vote
- Wins the New Hampshire Young Republicans Straw Poll
- Finishes 3 votes behind winner Herman Cain in the Georgia State GOP Straw Poll
- Wins the post-debate Cincinnati Tea Party Straw Poll
- Wins the California GOP Straw Poll
- Wins the Values Voter Straw Poll
- Wins the Los Angeles County Straw Poll
Yet the Mainstream Media Democrat National Committee continues to black out this story. Or when they do refer to GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul, they call him “unelectable,” which is an interesting adjective choice for someone who has been elected to his seat in Congress eleven times.
Hmmm. It’s almost as though the Mainstream Media Democrat National Committee doesn’t want people to know about GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul.
Why could that possibly be?

Governor Sarah Palin’s October 7th, 2011 “Defending the Republic” speech in St. Louis
Governor Sarah Palin has delivered an impressive speech in St. Louis at the “Defending the Republic” event that gives us an idea of her plans going forward and what role she’ll play in the 2012 elections.
You can watch the whole thing here at PalinTV.com
When I get home tonight, I’ll do a full write up on this, but please comment in this thread below with any thoughts you have on the speech.
I know many are still disappointed and even angry the Governor chose not to run for President in 2012. I, too, am disappointed because I know what an excellent President she would make…but I respect her decision and know she is doing what she believes is best for the country.
I think, personally, she made a mighty sacrifice for the country in that she’s giving up a chance to be President herself just so the Left can’t gin up its hate machine against her to give Obama any chance at re-election.
I remain an admirer and supporter of Governor Palin and appreciate her continued leadership in speeches like today’s where I see her laying out her strategy for 2012.
Different than what many of us wanted, but impressive, needed, and appreciated nonetheless.

25 Things You Need to Know About Joe McGinniss’ Book “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin”
Joe McGinniss’ book, “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin”, is a poorly written collection of lies and ramblings of a very strange man who spent a summer stalking the Palin family and their friends in Wasilla, Alaska (often incorporating the squirrels and waterfowl of the area into the book as characters, like the author was some sort of bitter, agenda-driven, drag-king version of Beatrix Potter). Kevin DuJan of HillBuzz.org read Joe McGinniss’ book so you never have to — and has collected the only 25 things you ever need to know about “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin” as a public service below.
What follows is an exhaustive attempt to tell you absolutely and definitively EVERYTHING you need to know about this book (so no complaining that it’s a long essay, all Ye of the Twitter and the 140-character maximums; this is meant as a resource for those who want to counter the vile things said about Governor Palin in this book without having to further line McGinniss’ coffers by actually buying a copy of his mutterings…as told to him by geese or squirrels). The book is 300+ pages of craziness that I’ve distilled into 25 sections for you, which also amounts to an identification of the Left’s 25 most common attacks on Governor Palin, since nothing in The Rogue is original. If you’ve been following Governor Palin’s political career with any interest, then you’ve heard almost all of this garbage before (and probably told better by the likes of Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and others in the lamestream media). The Rogue honestly amounts to several days of my life that I will never get back, having to slog through this dreck so I’d know what the Governor’s most mentally unstable detractors continue to say about her, so terrified by the clear and obvious realization that Sarah Palin is indeed the woman who’s going to defeat Barack Obama in 2012 and become the 45th President of the United States.
