Sarah Palin run for Prez

[Zoom-boing]

She isn't going to run in 2010. That leaves her about a year to file, run for, win, and serve in office before she would have to start campaigning for 2012.

Probably not-so-ironically, her timing would have been perfect if she had stayed on as governor of Alaska.

She's not going to run. Palin was astute enough to cash in on her gravy train when her popularity was high. She knows that the second she declares she isn't going to run in 2012 (which she'll have to do eventually), her stock will plummet. I predict she'll string along the voters as far as she can.

Frankly, I think she enjoys the celebrity far more than the responsibility. I can't say I blame her. Work is hard. Popularity is fun.

So, she isn't going to run and it will be the best thing for the GOP.

<sigh> Did I forget to post that I don't think she is going to run for potus in 2012? I thought I did. The bolded? Yep.

Yeah, I see that now. Frankly, I think her time in public office is over. I was certain she'd vie for the Senate seat in Alaska, but she chose not to do that.

Really, I think the act of quitting was political suicide for her.

I don't think that politics is where she thinks she will do the most good for the country. I wouldn't disagree with her on this.

Guess what happens when oil goes down? It devastates the economy.

And letting people keep more of their own money is not a handout.

What would a democrat congress do with more money? They would spend it. Sarah Palin gave it back to the people it belonged to in the first place. That IS very refreshing.

In Alaska, the people get a dividend check from the government for drilling "their" oil reserves. In other words, the Alaska government taxes the oil companies then distributes that money to the people.

Its very socialist.

And I thought the libs hate big oil? Wow.

Alaska main industry is oil. So when the oil market is really good the Alaskan budget has a surplus. When Sarah Palin first became pres. her legistature wanted to spend it of course. Palin, on the other hand, when they had a surplus returned money to the taxpayers.

Anyone see Obama bin Biden or his minions doing this?

Palin has serious achievements. Obama, after a year in office, with super majorities in congress, did nothing but screw up the economy, and is totally screwing up foreign policy.

I would put Palin instead of Obama anyday.

And I thought conservatives hated collectivism.

No matter which way you spin it, Alaskans take money from oil companies and give it to themselves, Sarah Palin included. That ain't a "tax cut" no matter which way you spin it. Sorry.

WELL THEN, what the hell is if she isn't a PRIVATE CITIZEN. she isn't in any elected office of the guberment, now is she.
sheeesh

Private citizens don't run around the country making national commentary. She's a public persona, just as Limbaugh, Beck, Schultz, and the rest of the crew is.

You can't have it both ways. You can't be a celebrity and then when people respond to your public comments cry foul about being a "private citizen".

 

[geauxtohell]

As I said, I'm not certain that she will run, but she should.

She's vetted and as Conservative as is electable in 2012 and the next 2 cycle will be historic wins for Conservatism

I believe the trend that has held for many years will have the GOP pick up some seats, but until they have a coherent message, it's going to be modest.

You're opinion is that she is electable. Mine is that she'd get crushed. I suppose it's all speculative.

 

[geauxtohell]

Fair enough. I've cynically attributed her motives to money. It could be to advance her ideology.

Or it could be a bit of both.

Either way, I suspect her days as a public servant are over.

hahahah, jealous much.
too bad the state you live in don't give you back money from the Natural Resource they have. they evidently don't think you all are worth it.

Yeah. My state don't give me no oil-welfare either!

Another non sequitur from Three-Sentence Stephanie.

Try and keep up, eh?

Hello?? What do you think taxes are?

I'll explain this to you how it works.

1.) Alaska government taxes oil companies.
2.) Alaska government takes those taxes and gives it to everyone else in the state.

Or I'll draw a picture.

Money taxed from oil companies ---> goes to ---> Alaskans.

Imagine this scenario.

1.) California government taxes Silicon Valley companies
2.) California government taxes those taxes and gives it to everyone else in the state.

If California did that, I would imagine guys like you would be starting threads about "Communism" and "Socialism" and "Marxism" and "Hitlerism" in California. But, ah, Alaska does it, and its a "tax cut."

Its amazing how the mind can rationalize things, isn't it?

wow, now the left is complain bout welfare. how bout that.
too bad the state you live in don't think very highly of you to share in the monies made off the Natural Resource that is your RIGHT not theirs.

LOl, last I checked, the Silicon valley companies isn't a NATURAL RESOUCE.
good gawd, what a stupid comparison.
but you were right on the last half of your post. and proves just where the Obama and the Progressive party are taking us. good one.

poor baby, move to Alaska. but it might be too tough a place for some to live.
I just moved from there after living there since 1993. so believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

Is that you, Bristol Palin?

At any rate, why would I want to live there?

I like it were I am. I guess I can do without the oil welfare.

I don't know about Sarah in the white house, do we really need to replace one pussy with another?

What is so difficult to understand?

Alaska gets most of it's money in the state budget from oil companies in the form of taxes. If the oil companies are doing well, Alaska collects more revenue. If the oil companies are doing poorly, Alaska collects less revenue.

Alaska then needs to decide what to do with the revenue. Oil companies at the time that Sarah Palin was elected were doing well. Therefore, the Alaska budget had a surplus at this time.

Palin was pressured to spend the money on whatever stuff legislatures piss money away on. Instead of doing that she gave a tax rebate to the people of Alaska.

That is a good thing.

I have been pondering this.

Sarah Palin is extremely knowledgeable.



YouTube - Palin SRLC - Part 1

YouTube - Sarah Palin Speech at the Southern GOP Conference

I don't think anyone who heard her speak at the SRLC can deny that. And she did it without a teleprompter.

We know that the radical left wingers shot all their ammo at her, attacking her children, attacking her as a mom, trying to portray her as stupid, yadda, yadda, yadda. They did this because they consider her a grave threat. The question we should ask ourselves is why do they consider her such a threat?

We also know that Obama is dumber than a rock.

He is the twit that has been embracing america's enemies, and alienating america's friends.

He is the twit that wants to raise all sorts of taxes in a bad economy.

He is the twit that wants to micromanage the private sector and thinks this won't lead lead to economic collapse.

So here is my question. Do you think that she is now immune fromthe viciousness of the liberal attacks in 3 years? Has she developed the antibodies? or do you think that they successfully destroyed her by being the evil vermin tha liberals are?

I do feel that she can do a great job. She did great for Alaska. She had 80% approval, took on corruption in her own party, cut spending even when there was a surplus in the Alaskan budget, lowered taxes, gave tax rebates to Alaskans., etc.

She is great as a motivational speaker and enjoyed as a commentator by many, but for president?? Not even. As much as I like and respect her for many qualities, I cannot see her a leader. She is not experienced enough, and I really doubt that she could ever be. Similar to our current president.
