I do NOT want a "comedian" in office. I am not looking to elect someone who follows party as a favor. Sarah has dropped the ball.<br />Appearances on late night TV will not add to her persona. I think, in fact, they may detract from it.<br />She owes JMcC NOTHING! When his "people" attacked her after the campaign, and tried to make her look like the reason behind John's failure, any question of "loyalties" to that clown evaporated! Knowing he is opposed to her thinking in more ways than just the drilling in ANWR, she should have shown her "stuff" by turning her back on his Senate candidacy. If she is really as "Rogue" as she would like us to believe, she should have walked away, and maybe even intervened for a more "Constitutionally qualified" candidate. Her acquiescence to McC does not elevate her, IMHO, it diminished her and her claim to take on even those in her "own party". Really? Then why choose to support McAmnesty? <br />I find Sarah has made herself unbelievable. <br />Anyone is entitled to make a mistake.....she's just made too many. I am not sure if the mistakes are Sarah's, or if they are being made for her by "handlers". But whatever the case, I no longer view her as the young, conservative upstart we were introduced to.Mairihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835022724045480221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-19296597107773094292010-03-05T23:40:47.535-05:002010-03-05T23:40:47.535-05:00I correct the spelling.

As far as Palin goes, where did she stand on the bailout?

I've promoted your blog since mid June 08. <br /><br />But this last post about Sarah is where I draw the line!<br /><br />"Pailin thinks Jefferson is an African-American dry cleaner in Manhattan who "moved on up to the east side"<br />"Pailin does not know anything about the history"<br />"Pailin does not know anything about political ideas"<br />"Pailin does not know anything about ideology of freedom"<br />"Pailin does not know why anyone might question the Fed" <br />"Pailin does not know who in American history favored doing so"<br />"Pailin in fact would be surprised if she found out"<br /><br />You would make the same observations but to a lesser degree about any of the conservative media people, specifically including all of the announcers on Fox? <br /><br />YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL HER NAME RIGHT and your an expert on her? Her Name Is Sarah Palin!!!!! And don't even say typo, typo, typo, you spelled it wrong 4 times!<br /><br />Mitchell, this is not to disparage you as a person. We are all members of what Kant called the Kingdom of Ends and so you deserve the same respect I give to Sherman Hemsley, who played George Jefferson.<br /><br />You suck@!

I'm suspect of all the "machine" but I don't see Palen as one of the parts of that "machine". You can't dispute the facts of the book - what she did to the party bosses - and how she was attacked. If anything - Sarah is the closest thing we've seen to Ronny Reagan in a long, long while. To have seen her get manipulated and then blamed for the loss is enough to make me want to quit all party affiliation. There are NO perfect answers - there is NO ONE out there who will be everything to everyone. But the constant bickering about all the faults is getting a bit rediculous.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03778019129857846968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-42089272803484610132010-03-05T05:07:29.483-05:002010-03-05T05:07:29.483-05:00Phil--what book did Pailin write before she had th...Phil--what book did Pailin write before she had the resources to hire ghost writers? Not that I can have an opinion on that, but might the Republicans be able to find candidates who have accomplished a few things of importance before they are nominated for national office? The current crop of bird brains and thieves is discouraging indeed. Nor, in reality, need I be convinced that Pailin actually wrote the book.Mitchell Langberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722335216553899790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-86673441769462434232010-03-05T00:25:36.255-05:002010-03-05T00:25:36.255-05:00I think you're underestimating Sarah Palin:
&...I think you're underestimating Sarah Palin:<br /><br />"On Friday, July 10th, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27 (HJR27), sponsored by State Rep. Mike Kelly. The resolution “claims sovereignty for the state under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States.”<br /><br />http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/07/13/palin-signs-alaska-sovereignty-resolution/<br /><br />Mitch, I just finished her amazing book, "Going Rogue" and I'm quite impressed. She impressed me as a meticulously honest and ethical person, not only ethical in her own offices, vetoing 80% of the pork requests, refusing fed $$, refusing the state jet, auto, cook, etc. but moreover standing up to even her own GOP party bosses even to the extent of conducting FBI investigations of party collusion with big Oil and having some Repub cronies arrested. She booted out the "Corrupt Bastards Club" of the GOP and was loved by all as one of the people. She stood up to the threats and lawsuits of big oil and overode their defunct contracts for the natural gas pipeline, and started the biggest private industry project in the US. <br /><br />During the campaign she was severely compromised by the McCain machine thugs who blamed her for the election loss and prevented her from saying what she really beleived during the campaign. I beleive she would have had the conviction to oppose the first TARP bailout but was forced to tow the party line. The MCain camp helped launch the subsequent media nightmare attacking her and her family with not only wild pornographic conspiracy theories, but an avalanche of FOIA requests and ethics violations that all were ultimately thrown out of court. <br /><br />The Palin media circus exploded into a critical mass and kept her from governing and she was thus forced to resign spending all her and her staff's time just to answer all the complaints. But I think she is a true limited government free market activist whom the leftist media demonized and destroyed. If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. Unfortunately, the perception is reality. <br /><br />Having said that, I believe she has her flaws and cannot be president or the leader of the freedom movement as you have expressed, sicne I beleive it to be a decentralized movement and having a national leader is contradictory. I don't beleive we will ever find such a perfect package but we can get close. We need to be thankful that some folks like Allen West have appeared and are a positive step in the right direction. Just had to get all that off my chest, my friend.Phil Orensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390414308766013311noreply@blogger.com
