Sarah Palin Resigns

[LittleLightShining]

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.

This will never happen. She can NOT talk about ending the war on drugs after all the criticism she's taken about her kids. She believes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are divine missions.

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.

Get real - Palin is bought and paid for by THEM - otherwise she wouldn't have been put into the V.P. slot to sabotage the election by her very presence. They wanted Obama in and Palin was a tool.

Run Palin, you'll toss the women's vote, she is an embarrassment to the thinking woman.

"Get real - Palin is bought and paid for by THEM"

maybe...but your contention that she was put on the ticket (by THEM) to sabotage MaCain *ASSUMES* that McCain could/would have won without her. Do you actually believe McCain would have won except for Palin? McCain was well on his way to losing the election long before Palin's name was ever mentioned; Palin actually helped his numbers - so your logic fails.

So what you wrote PaulaGem sounds nice. It has the right mix of "bought and paid", "THEM", "sabotage" and "tool"; too bad its a perfect example of the sort of disinformation that was and is still being used against Ron Paul.

Oh well, such is the system, isn't it.

One favor PaulaGem - Could you point out a candidate that can get the women's vote?

While any gender candidate will do, I would be especially interested in any female candidates that *you think* would appeal to the "thinking woman".

I'm not familiar enough with the field to do that. But it isn't someone who exemplfies some of the worst stereotypes about women.

Did the have to fear a win to sabotage the ticket? Perhaps the idea was to strengthen the "mandate" for Obama.

women's suffrage was a big mistake...

it was a major move towards socialism.

Only land owning, job holding men over 30 should be allowed to vote. A [poll tax needs to be brought back and an IQ qualifier along with a test on American civics should also be reinstated.

There's a whole lot of non-thinking GOP women voters who would vote for Palin. Plus a lot of thinking women that would vote for the Revolution Platform. My whole hypothetical premise in this thread is based upon the wild and fantastical scenario that she goes rogue on the GOP with a libertarian platform similar to RP's.

You may be right about the notion that she was put on the ticket to sabotage the GOP. But I have trouble believing this because a much better tactic would be to simply pick a VP that they had some dirty secret on and then out them late in the general election campaign cycle. McCain was never likely to win anyway. McCain's win in New Hampshire was probably rigged, I am sorry to say. I think Ron Paul was getting dangerous and they went with McCain since he had won there in 2000 and it would appear believable. But this is speculation on my part.

Bingo. Well said. Air tight.

But it isn't someone who exemplfies some of the worst stereotypes about women.

Hmmm..let's see...the Chief Executive of a U.S. state and the mother of several children including one with special needs, a college graduate, a participant in a functional and complete nuclear family, a lover of the outdoors, and someone who does not need a rich and powerful man to "keep" her. I'm having some trouble identifying the tragic "stereotypes" that you are referring to...Perhaps you can enlighten me..

 

[PaulaGem]

For starters - a beauty queen who can't name one newspaper that she reads regularly.

a college graduate

This is what I think of Sarah Palins college education.

Yeah, I was wondering why all the Palin hate. Back in 2007, here on the ron paul forums, there was a lot of discussion about who, if anyone, should be RP's vice presidential nominee. Palin was mentioned more than anyone (Sanford was also mentioned). There was a reason that Palin was so well liked here in 07, and that was primarily her record. McCain was disliked, and I guess Palin was automatically disliked because of McCain. But we liked her in 2007 for a good reason.

Til she opened her mouth on national television... then it was pretty much over for me....

Paulagem...you remind me of a huffington poster. are you sure you are a fan of Ron Paul? I am a woman and I like Sarah Palin...conservative women like her. So do the men. She can probably beat ANY GOP man they put forth in 2012...that is why the GOP is trying to tank her..they fear her more than the democraps. tones

Who in the GOP is trying to tank Sarah?

Plus as a fan of Ron Paul, I absolutely loathe Sarah Palin.

Why would I buy one of those shirts?

I'm guessing it's sophisticated satire since they are on top of a pig rather than an elephant.

Sarah Palin was a pathetic joke...one part narcissist...one part white trash.

The totally uneducated PTA mom, Israel worshipping, ultra ambitious Jesus rapturist almost made it to "a heartbeat away" from the Presidency...

shows what a fucked - up country we are that total nobodies like Obama and sarah can be taken seriously.

OK. You're right. Let's forget about that U.S. state Chief Executive-independent from being kept by a man-mother of five-college graduate-outdoors enthusiast-family main bread winner stuff. All bad cheesy degrading stereotypes to be sure.

So that leaves us with: on top of her plethora of remarkable achievements she managed at one point to work in a few hours to win a beauty contest when she was young. So did Vanessa Williams. Gloria Steinem was in a beauty contest and later was a Playboy Bunny. I don't get your point.

I wonder why Katie Couric never asked Barky what he reads to keep up? Or Hillary? How would Ron Paul have answered that question? It's kind of a stupid question. Like: what does Benanke read to keep informed? Probably Fed data and data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and an occasional look at a Wall St. Journal.

I guess. Her first speeches were very well received by most. But, yeah, she does have an accent which I guess can bug people.
