Sarah Palin Resigns

[2BFree]

Bman - listen to your clip and read angelatc's quote of Palin. I believe the clip you provided, while edited to misrepresent Palin's statements, proves angelatc's point.

Go away troll.

I never, ever, back away from confronting those who attempt to silence others.

I never, ever, back away from confronting those who attempt to silence others. Stick that in your palin and rotate, Virgil.

You should not back away you should run away as fast as you can. Of course you are more than welcome to come back when you grow up. Also I have never, ever tried to silence others but I do expect others to be able to hold a rational and at least semi-educated discussion. When your Palin fixation is over come back and try to hold an intelligent discussion.

You don't make the rules, Virgil. I'm not going anywhere.

ummm no. That's what she said.

YouTube - Sarah Palin: Iraq is a task from God

Palin would be worse than GWB Jr.

What I posted is exactly, word for word, what you posted. At no time does she say Iraq is a task from God. She said to pray that it is a task from God.

Thank you. It's pretty amazing to watch folks who saw the media do this to Ron Paul fall for it when they do it to somebody else.

I'm no longer a Palin supporter, haven't been for quite a while, but there's no reason to make stuff up about her.

 

[LibertyEagle]

To whom it may concern. Please stop the personal insults.

Thanks.

o'rly???? Then what task from god is she talking about. Inquiring minds want to know!

I like Sarah as well.

Of the four, Obama, McCain, Biden or Palin, I would take Sarah Palin any day.

Perfect candidate - not at all - but better than many if not most. I like her willingness to develop energy resources. I like that she's not a polished insider politician. I like that she hunts. I like her speaking out for disabled children. I like her "small government" and private sector approach to development.

Sparebulb's got some issues with Palin - too bad he didn't share any opinions worthy of attention.

I agree with you. I like Sarah; she is genuine. I think I could have a beer with her and discuss the life of the everyday average American and she would understand. Obama, McCain and Biden would never understand. She said Ron Paul is "cool" which I like.

All of which easily makes her capable of being the president.

LOL I don't know about that, but I like her better than Biden, Obama and McCain

For 2012, Palin, Romney, and Huckabee are basically all in. [EDIT: Never mind, looks like this Palin move ISN'T consistent with her running for president]

And they all have about the same strength right now. In fact, one recent poll had them all tied for 2012.

I think only a R3VOLUTION candidate could challenge that trio, now that Sanford is out. Demint is conservative enough to stand out, but he doesn't really have the chops/charisma/drive.

I'd love to see Ron Paul run again and win some early primaries by scores of 30 - 20 - 20 - 20 as the three mainstream republicans split most of the mainstream/neocon republican vote.

Yes. Or a Ron Paul endorsed candidate. Perhaps Rand even. But I am pretty confident that Ron Paul will run. He's on a roll, seems revitalized, and heavy campaigning is less than 24 months away. I am still looking at the possibility that Sarah Palin may go rogue from the old GOP and try to co-opt the Revolution movement. It might be a brilliant strategy for her. What if we get to the primary campaigning and she is basically saying the exact same thing that Ron Paul is saying? The red state sheeple GOP voter base will suck up her talking points hook, line, and sinker (which could backfire and help RP, especially if she makes some campaign-killing gaffe or a scandal erupts). The other possibility is that such a metamorphosis for her might be sincere, or even consistent with her beliefs all along, despite the rhetoric requirements imposed upon her for the McSame campaign. She needs to join Michele Bachmann at the RP luncheons and get her talking points down.

Imagine the cover of Time in September 2011 with a split screen with Palin on one side and RP on the other. With the caption: "Has the GOP Finally Reinvented Itself?"

Food for thought..

Hey if Sarah quit her job to help get Ron Paul elected to the Presidency in 2012 I'll take back anything I've ever said negatively about her.

I have not written her off. We'll just have to see what her platform is and how specific she is willing to get. The "Ron Paul Wing" of the GOP will not give their votes to anyone with a vague or insincere platform. The smartest move she could ever make politically would be to absorb the Ron Paul Revolution platform. People want her to be different.

I don't want her to run. I want her to support Ron Paul. Otherwise I'll have to call it like I see it which is NO WAY JOSE!

Were she to adopt the RP platform she would be able to spread the talking points big time and make lots of converts. It's hard for us to imagine, but a lot of people still don't know who Ron Paul is. And if they do, they don't really grasp the platform. Palin could take away whatever remaining "fringe" taboo still exists because the base loves her and has already embraced her. If she tells all the soccer moms that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on drugs are bankers' wars, they will all believe her and start owning those talking points.

But she can also do that campaigning for someone else. She's a believer in God. I'd tend to think that it's really what god intended for her to do. Too bad, too much personal pride. We'd be much better off if people knew their places. Hers is certainly not in the White House.

The President is generally just a mouthpiece for the policy makers. They make visits with dignitaries and get up and read speeches. She would be just fine. She just needs a kick ass cabinet to take care of business. Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Andrew Napolitano, Pat Buchanan, Catherine Austin Fitts, Michele Bachmann, etc. She is certainly as smart as Reagan or Bush II.

It would be a trip, however, if she announced her new job as Chairman of Campaign For Liberty...

But even if she runs it could help because she could step aside late in the primaries and endorse Ron Paul or some other freedom candidate and sell a boycott of a Romney/Huckabee/Jindal type. Or run third party and kill the GOP again. Perhaps with RP on such a ticket. Don't forget that she will be a pied piper for a lot of the GOP base.

I think a Paul/Palin libertarian ticket could pull a solid 30% in the general election. Perhaps 40% with the right set of circumstances. This means throwing the election to the House of Representatives and a lot of deal-cutting in platform commitments. Unlike RP in 2007-2008, she can say loudly throughout the campaign and Republican debates: "I'm not play'in party politics. I don't care which gosh darn party it takes ta get it done, but I'm take'in all of the freedom lov-in Americans all the way to the White House with me in 2012! Who's gonna join me?!!"... or words to that effect. Then she and the Revolution can monitor all kinds of polls for strategy, such as: how many Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, or Rand Paul supporters would cross party lines and vote for one of them in a general election. But she can't herd any supporters or play this type of strategic roll if she sits on the sidelines and won't campaign for herself.

IF she anounces that Ron Paul is her Secratary of State and Peter Schiff is her Secratary of the Treasury I may also have a change of heart.

However she has to go a long way. The last time we elected A govenor, who spoke english poorly, and thought they were on a mission from god it didn't turn out so well.

I think Ms. Palin could script her remarks for the public at least as successfully as this:
