I am so encouraged by her at CPAC when I was so previously so discouraged. That's the power of Sarah; she energizes people, she doesn't drain them. She gives people motivation, not lectures.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-48606989906535148032014-02-11T13:07:00.000-06:002014-02-11T13:07:00.441-06:00Happy Birthday, SarahHappy 50th Birthday Sarah!

All I have left to say is, please run for President. We need you. What's the worst that could happen? You'll lose? Well our country as we knew it is being lost on a daily basis. Who else could we hope for? You're the best and always will be.<br />

<br />
As a stark contrast, no one has to ask themselves where Palin stands on the issues. She has been open and up front with all her decisions from day one. Absolutely not a question. It's a shame the establishment GOP couldn't support her.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-5361368608149613312012-03-14T08:30:00.000-05:002012-03-14T08:30:25.570-05:00Now happy Sarah isn't runningI'm finally at peace with Palin not running. And it's not because I like any of the current candidates. I actually dislike all of them. But I can see one of the greater reasons (politically) Palin didn't run, and why it's a good thing. If she ran everyone in the media and blogosphere would be accusing her of dragging down the race, and splintering the Republican vote. There would be other accusations such as her being unelectable, too conservative, too religious, too stupid, not enough experience - that she would have to defend, again - and that's only from our side. Our side would be so blinded with rage and in-fighting that we would never be able to be happy about anything, and not unite. Now that she's not running, guess what - the party is still splintered. Elites are <em>still </em>attacking her for being too whatever, establishment GOPs are pushing Romney on us and ripping Santorum to shreds. Her not running exposes the GOP for us all to see. No normal, everyday conservatives are happy with the candidates and the elites just wish we would all shut up and vote for Romney. No one can blame anything on Palin, yet we still have the same problems.<br />
<br />
Palin didn't give up on us. She let the elites and establishment GOPs have what they wanted. And it showed we have much bigger problems than we ever imagined. Meanwhile we need to decide if we're going to continue to wallow in their cesspool or try to figure out how to fix these problems.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-60832855355416495462012-02-08T10:57:00.001-06:002012-02-08T10:57:25.691-06:00Rick Santorum sweeps...and I didn't get 10 comments into some posts on "conservative" blogs before they started screeching "<em>Santorum can't beat Obama. Romney needs to change his strategy in order to appeal to the base.</em>" These people are relentless. And they never learn.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-27544610667298436452012-02-08T08:00:00.000-06:002012-02-08T08:00:01.449-06:00ApathyWhenever the subject comes up about conservatives feeling apathetic about voting in this election, we're met with a barrage of voices screaming <em>"You better vote or else you're being unpatriotic! If you stay home you're going to let our country burn to the ground! If you don't vote you're disrepecting people who have died to give you the right to vote! If I have to hold my nose and vote for Romney, you have to too! You voted for McCain in '08 so why can't you vote for Romney now?! I don't care who the nominee is I'm voting against Obama!" </em><br />
<br />
I wonder if these people would be so hard-core about voting for the Republican nominee, <em><strong>whoever it is</strong></em>, if the nominee were Palin. Sure, now they're all hell bent on evicting Obama, now that Palin is out. But before she was out, they were hell bent on discouraging her run. THAT was their goal. They kept saying she was unelectable - well if Romney is so electable why are you trying so hard to convince everyone to vote for him? Sure, he's electable if you tell everyone to vote for him and he's the only one standing. When people use their CHOICE to either vote or not vote, or nominate someone they actually agree with, then he's not so electable anymore.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-55992937031674536342012-02-07T09:20:00.001-06:002012-02-07T09:20:52.414-06:00Does the GOP understand the meaning of the two-party system?I was watching Fox News this morning and someone made a comment about candidates being "too conservative" to win the general election. I have always wondered why the GOP used that line. Despite ALL the evidence, they think the majority of the country leans left. So they want to nominate a RINO in order to "win." Not only that but they'll actively destroy true conservative candidates in order to get their nominee.<br />
<br />
Do they not understand the two-party system? The liberals are supposed to nominate their candidate, and the conservatives nominate their candidate. Each of the candidates is an alternative to the other. It doesn't do any good to nominate someone with ideas a little more watered-down than the other. What is the point of voting? This creates voter apathy among the Right and then the liberal candidate wins. Then the GOP uses that win as "proof" that the country leans left. At this point I think the GOP is just furthering the Left's agenda. Our group of potential nominees is so bad, so so so very bad. We desperately need new leadership in the party, or an entirely new party.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-68771661480942827732012-02-07T09:09:00.000-06:002012-02-07T09:09:37.956-06:00The reasons why Palin didn't runI'm wondering what happened behind the scenes that would cause Palin not to run. To me it was crystal clear that she was running and then poof she suddenly wasn't. She mentioned her family being a reason, and since then has referenced her family's wishes many times. But it seems like they were on board with the idea of her running - at least from the outside. It didn't seem like anyone in her family was upset or worried. I remember when President Bush decided to run for POTUS and his daughters expressed their displeasure publicly. We didn't see any evidence of that from the Palin family.<br />
<br />
The other reason might be the establishment GOP. They might have withdrawn support financially or through endorsements. I have pondered this many times. It seems like the GOP really didn't want her to run. I wonder if someone said something to her that would cause her to withdraw. And I honestly believe Rick Perry ran in order to scare her off. He came in and all the "conservative" pundits immediately touted him as the best nominee, having the "conservative" credentials plus the elite background that they love. He received the GOP support very quickly. He's also a man and they wanted a man, not a "crazy woman." I wonder if the establishment GOP realizes they made a huge mistake?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-69325911717727317592012-02-02T10:59:00.000-06:002012-02-02T10:59:00.684-06:00The Palin supporters are to blame for this mess?There seems to be a theme going around that before Palin declared she wasn't running, her supporters "drove away" the good conservative candidates. And if Palin had announced sooner, or if her supporters were more open-minded then we would have much better candidates now. Riiiight. Those people really don't know the first thing about the conservative movement do they? Palin supporters never looked to her as the One. True. Leader. We all, Palin included, want to get the country back on track. We want a conservative who will have the guts to undo Obama's failures, someone who will honor the constitution, reduce debt, increase freedom, shrink the size of government, etc. Palin could do that, so could any number of people. Palin could only be president for four or eight years, and that's only one office. We need a long term solution. It was always about conservatism from the ground up. Sure, our first choice was Palin, but we all have second and third choices, too. We would love a Rubio, or West, or Thompson, or anyone with conservative bonafides. But the pundits won again and only elite establishment candidates are left. It's not our fault. It's THEIR fault.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-51053041228026544532012-02-01T10:50:00.000-06:002012-02-01T10:50:16.765-06:00IronicI love how Ace of Ace of Spades posted about how Sarah Palin is not a lightening rod anymore, and posts about her don't garner as much attention as they used to. Soooo ironic coming from the guy who used to <strike>slander </strike>mention her name in every other post in order to gain hits for his site. Otherwise known as a flame war between commenters. He would even gleefully join in the comment section to attack Palin supporters. Awww, it's just not as fun anymore is it, Ace? The human punching bag is gone; I wonder why? Could it be because of people like Ace, who turned his readership against her in a malicious way. It was either hate her or GTF off his blog. Remember, Ace is supposed to be conservative. This is the kind of reality Palin was facing: "conservatives" openly and cruelly attacking her on major blogs.<br />
<br />
I totally understand that it's his blog; he can say whatever he wants (he mentions that often). But he can't lament the fact that he's losing readers and interest now that Palin is gone. Dude, you wanted her gone more than anyone. When you attack true conservatives within an inch of their lives, don't cry when they go home and you're left with a bunch of losers.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-23344814108583965732012-02-01T10:36:00.002-06:002012-02-01T10:37:45.830-06:00"conservative" punditsHave you noticed that the big time, major, popular, so-called "conservative" outlets have really picked up the Obama-bashing? They spent nearly all of 2010 and 2011 pointedly attacking Sarah Palin, making sure she wouldn't run. Now that she's not, they've decided to get back to the real issue: our country going down the toilet under Obama's leadership. You know why - they want us to be mad and angry so we'll vote for their guy, now that they're guy is guaranteed to win the nomination. Where was all this gnashing of teeth during Obamacare or any one of Obama's job-killing, economy-crushing, freedom-taking policies? To them, the real enemy was a conservative mom from Alaska. SHE had them shaking in their drawers. I'm so fed up with them. And I hope they know that I see right through their bullsh*t.<br />
<br />
I hope they're happy. If they had spent that time uniting and trying to find a solution maybe Palin would be the nominee, or someone else who, you know, is a conservative who could get the job done. Since we spent all that time in a circular firing range we're now stuck with a Washington Insider and Romneycare. Good work, guys! You really did your job, there.<br />
<br />
These people really showed their true colors. They are nothing but pure elitists, holding all of us true conservatives down. They are not conservatives.

I thought the pain, disappointment and bitterness would disappear. It hasn't. Now that our choices are horrifyingly bad, I actually feel worse. I'm going to try and muddle through this election. It's not going to be easy. Or pretty.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-77124906874656068802011-10-12T10:30:00.000-05:002011-10-12T10:30:00.438-05:00Sarah Palin's endorsement for 2012Sarah Palin making an endorsement all depends on <em><strong>her </strong></em>popularity and influence at the time. Even if he's someone who meets Palin's criteria, her endorsement could potentially hurt his campaign based on her public perception. He may not even want it. If it's Perry or Romney...forget it; I'm sure she will not endorse them. If I had to make a prediction, I would bet that Palin doesn't endorse anyone in this cycle. This election is too volatile to take risks.<br />
<br />
However, if it looks like Palin supporters are so disenchanted by next year that they aren't going to the voting booth, then I think she'll come out and tell us to vote Republican, even if it's Romney or Perry. She loves the country too much to see Obama win (again) due to apathetic voters.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-74939930580701723592011-10-11T15:47:00.000-05:002011-10-11T15:47:07.527-05:00Good pointI thought of another possible reason why Sarah decided not to run - maybe she thought she couldn't win, that the media would destroy her chances and then we would definitely have to face another Obama term. By taking herself out, she's removing any possible obstacles that she would bring to the election. That's what all the so-called conservative haters kept saying would happen, and maybe there was a bit of truth to that. I always thought we needed a strong conservative no matter what; that it wouldn't matter if it was a choice between Romney or Obama because both are so bad. But I guess there is a bigger picture, that defeating Obama really is the #1 goal here, and one of the reasons why Sarah decided not to run was that she could possibly be an obstacle for accomplishing that goal.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-20070619464639349062011-10-07T12:22:00.001-05:002011-10-07T12:22:03.487-05:00Who will take this country back?Maybe I'm a little too depressed today, but I'm really starting to think that no one is going to be able to take this country back. For the past three years we've all said that we can't afford a second Obama term. Obamacare will go into effect, we'll be trillions more in debt, more judges and czars appointed, etc. It was imperative that we elect someone in 2012 who could undo everything Obama has done.<br />
<br />
It was an enormous task, but we had the strongest fighter with a proven record who we could put our faith into and work <em><strong>with</strong></em> to get it done. Now that she is out, it makes it really hard for me to stay in, too. It's hard not to think that Sarah is telling us it's a lost cause. I know, I know, I'm being way too negative right now and need to think of the bigger picture. But still. The Tea Party was my hobby. Supporting Sarah was my hobby. I took time away from my family to participate. With Sarah stepping back and saying that she needs to be with her family, that she's not willing to lead, then maybe I need to take a step back as well.<br />
<br />
I'm being "Negative Nancy" right now I realize this. I'm not usually this way. But in my opinion there is literally no one who could change our country for the better like Sarah could. Even the strongest conservative doesn't have her bonafides and her ability to fight corruption and win. I'm starting to think that it's inevitable that our country will descend down into socialism and there's nothing we can do to stop it. We're too outnumbered. Yeah, I know her political career isn't over. She could be elected president when she's 65 and that would be great, but where does that leave us now, in 2012? Where will our country be in 20 years when she could come back?<br />
<br />
I need to get outside and get some air. Sarah not running has changed my perspective on a few things. I'm being WAY too negative about our prospects.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-81999297276182027282011-10-06T10:25:00.000-05:002011-10-06T10:25:06.855-05:00What money?I saw an idiotic comment on a "conservative" blog this morning that said:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>"Now we know what her bus tour was all about - $$$!"</em></span><br />
<br />
What money did she make off her bus tour? Did she sell tickets? No. I only saw her encouraging people to visit cities and landmarks that played an important role in our country's history. Was she promoting her books? No. Her books have been out for years and whoever wanted to read them has already done so.<br />
<br />
I hate this argument that Palin stayed in for the money. People who say that never knew her, never stood with her, and in my opinion have let their minds wander to a very dark place. Sarah Palin was the person telling us that money and power corrupt; she wasn't part of that corruption. She was trying to fight it. She was never in it for the money. Get a grip you "conservative" haters.<br />

Probably even more than when I first heard it.<br />
<br />
I know I haven't been around here much lately. Since my daughter was born it's been a roller coaster and I haven't had time to do much of anything, much less keep a blog. But I still always loved Sarah and fought for her whenever/however I could.<br />
<br />
Of course I understand her reasons and this decision doesn't make me dislike her or what she stands for. No one could ever know what she had to go through, what her family had to go through, her marriage, etc., so I understand completely. It's just that her decision makes me feel less hopeful that someone like me, someone who is a political outsider, someone who has a family and a small business, could ever run for and win the presidency. I'm faced with the bleak options of the 2012 elections knowing no one could ever come close to her. More than that, I'm facing an America that's corrupt and being taken over by socialism and the strongest fighter in my corner has just bowed out.<br />
<br />
But I guess that's what Sarah has been trying to tell us this summer. She can't be the leader of a movement. We need something bigger than a movement. We need to change our country from the bottom up. We need to <em><strong>be </strong></em>the movement, not follow a leader. I know she never wanted to be someone like Obama was in the 2008 election; someone who people could say they supported because it was "cool." She wanted to help restore our country and we all need to actually do it, not just follow a leader.<br />
<br />
With this decision she's just showing again how human she is. She has feelings and loves her family just like the rest of us. She's not a power-hungry, win-at-all-costs political robot like most of the candidates out there. That's honorable. She has integrity. <strong>But I still wish she had made a run for it.</strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-71005308201257573152011-07-12T08:29:00.000-05:002011-07-12T08:29:39.526-05:00Executive experience debate<a href="https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150235296718435">In a recent Facebook post</a>, Palin emphasized the importance of having executive experience in running for POTUS.<br />
<blockquote><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Second, the office of the presidency is too important for on-the-job training. It requires a strong chief executive who has been entrusted with real authority in the past and has achieved a proven track record of positive measurable accomplishments. Leaders are expected to give good speeches, but leadership is so much more than oratory. </span></blockquote>That could be directed at a number of current potential candidates, and President Obama is the embodiment of the truth of that statement due to his lack of experience before being elected into office. Look where we are now with a president who had zero executive experience prior to the presidency.<br />
<br />
Michele Bachmann took it as a jab from Palin, <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2011/07/11/bachmann-who-needs-executive-experience-if-it-means-more-big-government/">responding with</a><br />
<blockquote><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Bachmann said executive experience doesn’t matter if it comes with “more of the same big government as usual.” </span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">“This election will be about quite simply, who can lead that restructuring effort,” Bachmann said, referring to turning around the economy and working to repeal the federal health care reform law.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">“Executive experience in government is one thing, but not when it comes to a promise of more of the same big government as usual,” she continued.</span></blockquote> That has to be one of the stupidest things I've read in awhile. It's completely incorrect for one thing, saying <em>everyone </em>in the field who has executive experience will create bigger government. And in the process of trying to defend her own lack of executive experience, made an argument that executive experience is a <em>bad thing</em>.<br />
<br />
Watching Michele Bachmann spin and spin and spin her gaffes is getting painful. I'm starting to feel a lot of second-hand embarassment for her now. Palin is doing a great thing by dropping these little nuggets of wisdom and Bachmann going to extreme stupidity in spinning it her way. Give her enough rope and she'll hang herself politically.<br />
<br />
A commenter at HotAir named "INC" <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2011/07/11/bachmann-who-needs-executive-experience-if-it-means-more-big-government/">explained executive experience beautifully</a>:<br />
<blockquote><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Bachmann’s statement is ridiculous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Executive experience does matter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">That’s how you find out if you’re a leader rather than a supporter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">That’s how you find out if you have the ability to articulate vision and purpose so that others will understand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">That’s how you find out if you can lead by example and bring out the best in people so that they know the end goal is worth the discipline and sacrifice. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">For Bachmann to say this really shows her lack of executive experience–not to mention poor logic, because a good executive leader wouldn’t grow government just to grow it, but assess, analyze and implement what’s needed.</span></blockquote>I would even add that being a good leader with a good record of executive experience is more important than IQ.

If Rick Perry decides not to run, then:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Governor Palin will be the only one in the field who can say that she vetoed some of Obama’s stimulus package. In the unlikely event that Rick Perry enters the contest, Governor Palin will still be the only person on stage who can say that she vetoed the energy portion of Obama’s stimulus package. She didn’t just oppose Obama’s stimulus package through her words, nor did she just cast the same vote that every other moderate or conservative Republican member of Congress cast. She <strong>is the only person in America</strong> who can say that she vetoed the energy portion of Obama’s stimulus package. She doesn’t talk about this very much and the “conservative” media won’t bring this up because it’ll help her. Let’s make sure we remind GOP and GOP-leaning indies who really opposed Obama’s stimulus package and who was the only one to back up his or her opposition with deeds and not just words.</span></blockquote><br />

This is a fact that needs to be immediately known by anyone thinking about voting. That's why I linked it from C4P. I remembered it when I read there, but it wasn't a fact that was at the top of my brain. This is an important policy decision by Palin that appeals to everyone in this country.

They get some jabs in here and there, and heap praise on Obama, but it's still pretty fair. As we know, Newsweek is floundering financially. They need a boost to remain on the market and solvent. They can't afford to do a hit piece because even Newsweek is smart enough to know how popular Palin is. I take their fair tone with a grain of salt. They're not going to offend the last of their dwindling readers yet; I'm sure they'll wait until much closer to the election to go all in for Obama no matter the cost.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But I will say that this article will be very good for Palin's image. For those who say that Palin never speaks to anyone outside of Fox News. For those who are on the fence, and for those who are reading Newsweek in waiting rooms and lobbys throughout the country. In other words, those who are outside of the conservative blogosphere and not already die-hard Palin supporters. I think this article is a great stepping stone to position her nationally as a competitor against Obama, not just other Republicans.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This article addresses the most worrisome part of her campaign and her career - the decision to step down as Governor. Newsweek did a great job handling the nuances of that decision, even for a left-wing magazine. I think people who didn't really know all the issues surrounding that decision will be better informed about it after reading this. And that's what I was hoping for - that the general public would understand her decision and look at her career and life as a whole, not just this one part of it. The resignation doesn't define her. And in order for that to happen more pieces like this need to come out. It's a truth that I don't like to admit. But the corrupt media has a stranglehold on our country. Not many people are going to suddenly wake up and be conservative out of nowhere. They either need to have a knee-jerk reaction to something they vehenmently disagree with, or they change their mind slowly over time. Those whose minds change slowly over time do it by reading articles like this.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-42267189383359665712011-06-29T11:17:00.000-05:002011-06-29T11:17:40.880-05:00Gov. Rick Perry 2010 campaign memoryI know this isn't very substantive, but I wanted to post this memory I have of Rick Perry's 2010 gubernatorial campaign. I was at Palin's book signing for <em>Going Rogue</em>, which was in December of '09. I got in line very, very early in the morning and just waited with the others until 9am when the doors opened. While waiting, a <u><strong>horde</strong></u> of Perry '10 campaign volunteers descended upon us wearing matching shirts. They walked through the line and asked each person if they supported Rick Perry for Governor in 2010. I was in the second portion of the line and watched them until they got to me. When a person answered "yes" they would ask if that person wanted to sign up to be a volunteer. If that person didn't want to be a volunteer they would press and ask why not, and badger them until they submitted their name, phone number and email address. If a person said they did not support Perry then they would badger and pester and ask them why not. They would say "he's friends with Palin and she supports him." They were UBER annoying. When they got to me I just said "yes" because I didn't want to be bothered with explaining why I didn't. I refused to sign my name, though. The guy next to me said no he didn't support Perry because he didn't think anyone should have three consecutive terms in office.<br />
<br />
The worst part was that the same horde of volunteers went through the line <strong>again</strong> about two hours later and asked everyone again and we all had to repeat our answers. It was infuriating. They were pushy and aggressive. My take on the general consensus of the people waiting is that no one really supported Perry. Despite knowing Palin supported him, we were all just kind of "meh" and over him. I don't really think there's a lot of Texas support for him and Palin's endorsement STILL confuses Palin supporters. Perry is not the conservative Texas hero that outsiders are making him out to be.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-52259537063257320032011-06-28T08:50:00.000-05:002011-06-28T08:50:57.475-05:00The "flake" Michele BachmannI'm sure you've all heard Chris Wallace asking Michele Bachmann if she's a flake. When I first watched it my knee-jerk reaction was being offended on Bachmann's behalf. The fact that no one would ask that question to a man, even a flakey man. Bachmann kept saying she's a "serious person" in defense of the question. Then it started to sink in a little. I thought about it more and realized that was pretty out of character for Chris Wallace. I started thinking something else was going on.<br />
<br />
Later that night (yes, I'm way too obsessed with this stuff) I remembered how months ago Mitt Romney said that Sarah Palin was not a <em>serious person</em>. Bachmann used the same exact words to defend herself. It makes me think Bachmann may be a stalking horse for Romney, and maybe even perhaps angling for the VP slot if he wins the nomination. I read HotAir regarding this issue and some of the commenters noted that Bachmann has been making herself out to be the darling of the Left-wing news outlets such as MSNBC and CNN. I didn't know that since I never watch those networks. It appears that she's pumping herself up to be the "media pick" such as John McCain last year.<br />
<br />
On to Chris Wallace. I didn't write about this earlier because I thought it was just too much "background" to get into on this blog, but Bachmann has hired notorious Palin-hater Ed Rollins as her 2012 campaign manager. Several weeks ago Rollins was going around MSNBC saying that Palin was stupid and that Bachmann is smart and "every bit as attractive" as Palin - barf. Why she would hire such a misogynist is beyond me, but it's crystal clear that she hired a Palin hater to do her dirty work trashing Palin while she can be in the background above it all just like Obama and his cronies do. Now to the point - I think Chris Wallace asked the "flake" question to take her down a peg for what Rollins said about Palin. She'll have to prove that she's more intelligent in her own words. He's not going to let her get away with trashing Palin behind her campaign manager. It's like he's giving her a tiny taste, maybe 1/10,000th of the pain that Palin continues to go through in the media.<br />
<br />
This is all just my opinion, and it may be all conspiracy, who knows. When one <strike>is obsessed with</strike> follows politics like I do, you tend to read way too far into things. Anyway, I think the "flake" question was very well-played by Wallace to expose the trash that Bachmann associates herself with, and it exposed her as the lightweight she is. Considering she didn't accept his apology right away and whined about it for almost two straight days shows she can't stand the heat in this kitchen.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-87423507872361020152011-06-24T10:56:00.001-05:002011-06-24T10:57:27.070-05:00Obama flubs Medal of Honor...again<a href="http://www.blackfive.net/main/2011/06/president-obamas-terrible-mistake.html">I'm starting to think he really hates this Medal</a>. From Blackfive:<br />
<blockquote><strong><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously."</span></strong> </blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As we all know, SSG Sal Giunta, of the 173rd Airborne, was the first living recipient (2011) of the MOH who fought in Iraq/Afganistan. SFC Jared Monti, 10th Mountain Division, was KIA in Afghanistan in 2006. He was posthumously awarded the MOH by Obama in 2009.</span></blockquote>So he mistakenly said that someone didn't win posthumously, when he actually did. What an insult. And to add to that insult, he, Obama, was the one who awarded the living recipient, so how could he mis-remember that??<br />
<br />
If this sounds familiar, you may remember that Obama <a href="http://sarahpalin-2012.blogspot.com/2009/11/obamas-use-of-symbolism.html">made a similar mistake on the day of the Ft. Hood shooting</a>. During his live press conference, he gave a "shout out" to Jim Crow and said that he won the Medal of Honor. But Crow hadn't won it since it's only awarded to combat veterans. Crow won the Medal of Freedom which is given to civilians.<br />
<br />
I believe Obama hates the military and does everything he can to undermine its traditions, history and honor by insulting MOH recipients. What a horrible president.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425504000857834002.post-42841229686896154702011-06-23T10:54:00.000-05:002011-06-23T10:54:08.508-05:00New address for "Texans for Sarah Palin" blogCheck out Josh Painter's blog, Texans for Sarah Palin:<br />
