Her Power Is Growing: Palin Racks Up Two More Wins

[Jarhead]

Obama hadn't made a farcical spectacle of himself on the national stage a few years before his election.

True.

Instead he waited until after he was elected.

He preferred to fool the electorate.

Luckily, the electorate wasn't fooled by any of Palin's shananigans.

Seeing as she was the number 2 on the ticket, the impact would not have been so bad.

Sadly, the elecotrate was fooled by the charleton we have in the oval office today.

I do not think Palin caused McCain to loose, I think he did that on his own, most people thought he was too old among other things........

 

[DavidS]

Voters Say Hillary More Qualified To Be President Than Obama, Romney, Gingrich, Palin - Rasmussen Reports

"As for Sarah Palin, ex-governor of Alaska and the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, only 26% feel she is qualified to be president, but 61% do not. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure."

LOL

He lost becuase the younger vote could not connect with him. He did not try as it is not supposed to be about "being liked as a friend". It is supposed to be about being respected as a leader.

Obama campaigned form a "hip" standpoint. Obama had an excellent campaign team that did not market him as a Presidential candidate. They marketed him as an American Idol....and it worked.

ANd now we must suffer the consequences.

Yeah, he was too old to have an End Timer a heartbeat away from the button of doom.

 

[Father Time]

I wouldn't mind seeing Sarah Palin as Prez.

The fact that practically all the Obamarrhoidal twits would hate to see that happen is surely one of the decisive reasons why she should be elected Prez.

What terrible logic.

The Dems would also hate to see Fred Phelps elected president. Does that mean you'd jump onto his campaign?

 

[Father Time]

Before you form an opinion about Sarah Palin...learn about her enviable and successful accomplishments by reading her book. To date, she has accomplished more in her political career than Barry/Hussein or any of his loyal thugs will ever accomplish in their entire lives.

Oh yes because being a governor and mayor of a small town is such a larger accomplishment than being president of the US.

I agree. McCain caused himself to lose by choosing Palin to be his running mate.

 

[Father Time]

According to Wikepedia:
A patriot is someone whom feels or voices expressions of patriotism, support for their country.

Regardless of whether or not she's a "tea partier"...her patriotism is overwhelmingly obvious. Barry wouldn't know patriotism if it hit him in the balls. In fact...on several occasions he's denounced our country throughout the world. He needs to go back to Kenya and shoot some hoops.

Thanks for the tip, now please answer the question concerning her "dedication", moran!

Despite the constant attacks on her character, the constant attacks on her intelligence, the constant attacks on her children....she sticks with it.

Sure, you can claim it is becuase she is making money off of it; but even so, it shows great dedication.

So by that logic Paris Hilton has great dedication.

The presidents campaign team won the election for him. Only some partisan loser would not see that. Surely it was not his experience nor was it his speech writing as he never wrote his speeches.

So winning was not his accomplishment.

So what has he accomplished?

Bi partisanship? No.
Close GITMO? No.
Withdraw from Iraq? No.
No higher than 8% unempliyment? No.
A lower deficit? No.
A health care plan that was voted in as law the traditional way? No.

Oh yeah. He was able to get some arrogant professor and some officer of the law to shake hands on TV for us all to see.

Lordy Lordy, ALL IS GOOD!

Paris Hilton? Sure, she is very dedicated to being a ditz.

Terrible analogy. You can do better than that.

 

[Father Time]

She sticks with WHAT? Obviously NOT public service....like say a job as, I don't know, maybe GOVERNOR?

I think that anyone running for a Different Political Office than the one they Currently Hold, should quit that Current Political Office to Campaign, Palin is not the 1st to do this nor the last.

.

So......you are saying Palin quit her job as Governor in 2009 to start a campaign for another office in 2012? Are you SERIOUS???

And if he is please point to a instance of Palin campaigning for 2012.

Curious....if not by my logic, how would you demonstrate someone is dedicated to a cause?

Your game playing is childish.

By following thru and doing what you committed to do. Deeds, not words. She quit. She failed.

She quit and failed? Or did she resign as the attacks on her as well as legal allegations against her were disruptive to her role as governor and costly to the taxpayers of Alaska?

What could it be. What could it be.

Well, as I see it, she has proven to be true to her cause, as is evident by her frequent outings with one cause for over a year now, despite the bad PR assholes like you give her.

SO I have logical reason to believe she resigned for appropriate reasons and not becuase she is a quitter.

All you have to work with is "ASSumption"

 

[L.K.Eder]

Before you form an opinion about Sarah Palin...learn about her enviable and successful accomplishments by reading her book. To date, she has accomplished more in her political career than Barry/Hussein or any of his loyal thugs will ever accomplish in their entire lives.

She's an amazingly dedicated American Patriot. Her heart and soul embraces everything America was founded upon. She understands and respects the core values and principles of our country. She "gets it".

I love a recent quote of hers: "I can see November from my house."

What good has she accomplished? As far as I can tell she's never done anything but run down half the country and blow McCain's last chance of being president.

I'll try this again...she's done nothing I envy and making money as a talking head isn't an admirable occupation.

So what enviable and successful accomplishments are you talking about?

i admire that she has time to read all newspapers and magazines. even before she quit her job.

Ooppsss, I did not word that very well

I think that anyone running for a Different Political Office than the one they Currently Hold, should quit that Current Political Office to Campaign, If Palin did this to run, she is not the 1st to do this nor the last.

That's what I meant highlighted in red, Good Catch

[Mr Natural]

But you have to give her credit. She parlayed a public service job in a small-market state into a lucrative career in the entertainment field.

For starters, try this.


Governor Sarah Palin’s Accomplishments

Energy Independence, Development, and Environmental Stewardship

*Governor Palin’s cornerstone accomplishment is AGIA (Alaska Gasline Inducement Act). During the Palin administration, TransCanada and Exxon formed an alliance to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to the Lower 48. Under Governor Palin’s governance, the project was expanded and revised from what previous governors had proposed with an open policy process for the Alaskan people. More progress was made on this effort than in the previous 30 years. This is the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history and helps put us on the path to energy independence.

*Governor Palin’s administration opened up drilling for oil and natural gas at Pt. Thompson for the first time in decades.

*Governor Palin created the Alaska’s Petroleum Integrity Office to oversee all aspects of energy development and to make sure oilfield equipment was safe to operate and a Climate Change Subcabinet to comprehensively and honestly evaluate climate change.

Fiscal Conservatism

*Governor Palin reduced earmark requests for the state of Alaska by 80% during her administration, requesting only earmarks that would benefit the country as a whole.

* Governor Palin reduced spending in her budget for Fiscal Year 2010 by more than one billion dollars from the previous governor’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget, a 9.5% real reduction in spending. Her FY2010 budget was $10.57 billion compared to Governor Murkowski’s FY2007 budget of nearly $11.7 billion. At the same time, she fulfilled her campaign promise to forward fund education, allowing districts greater flexibility and predictability in their planning.

*Governor Palin opposed much of the "stimulus", wanting only to accept 55% of the money allocated to Alaska, specifically only dollars dedicated to infrastructure [projects. Although the Alaskan legislature ultimately overturned her veto, she stood firm on her commitment to help Alaska to become more self-sufficient while not adding to not add to the skyrocketing national debt.

* Governor Palin invested $5 billion in state savings.



Walking the Walk on Fiscal Responsibility

*Governor Palin sold the private jet purchased by the previous governor. She state it was an unnecessary financial burden on the state and was unable to land on many of the state’s landing strips.

10th Amendment Advocacy/Promotion of State Constitution

*Showing that she is a strong supporter of the 10th amendment, Governor Palin advocated for the sovereignty of the state of Alaska.

*Governor Palin’s administration sued the federal government for placing the polar bear on the endangered species list, as this restriction affected energy development which would increase energy costs.

She exposed legal violations and conflicts of interest of Alaska Republican leaders, including the former state Attorney General and the State GOP Chairman (who was also an Oil & Gas Commissioner), who was doing work for the party on public time and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail.

Sarah Palin was Commander of the Alaska National Guard. Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the first line of defense unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units in the United States. As governor of Alaska, Palin was briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism daily.

Governor Palin was the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counterterrorism plans.

I noticed that all of you Palin bashers seemed to have ignored this post. I wonder why that is. Facts get in the way of having fun?
