On Hillbuzz: They are obviously a pro HIllary Clinton , but to their cedit, the writers have defended Sarah Palin and us Governors Palin supporters appreciate it. I would also like to point out Sarah Palin has raised over $2.5 in the 1st quarter of 2010 and 4x what Romney raised.
Thanks to a good friend, two of us will be lucky enough to go to Sarah Palin’s speech this Saturday in Wilmington, IL, near Peoria. We’re going to cover the speech in great detail, and hopefully do some cross-posts of our report at Palin sites we love, like Conservatives4Palin.
We don’t know how close we’ll be able to get to Palin herself, but hope we’ll be able to score a moment in front of her, at which we’ll tell her what we told Hillary Clinton in 2003, when we saw her at a book signing on Shaker Square in Cleveland: Run for president and don’t let anyone talk you out of it.
Well, The Kennedys and others in the DNC told Hillary to wait until 2008, whereby they succeeding in stabbing her in the back and taking the nomination away from her. Clearly, we see the RNC doing the same thing to Palin now, telling her to wait until 2016 to run.
We think it’s as big of a mistake for her to wait as it was for Hillary. The “It’s Mitt’s turn” nonsense will hand Dr. Utopia a second term, whereas we believe Palin would absolutely clean that socialist’s clock.
So, every chance we get, we want to tell Palin to keep doing what she’s doing, and to never, ever listen to the sort of people who kept Hillary from running in 2004, when we believe she would have won not just the nomination, but the presidency.
Palin’s moment is 2012. We want to stand behind her and help her in any way we can.
If anyone out there can help us get in front of her for even just a minute this coming Saturday, we’d appreciate it, as we want her to learn from the mistakes of Hillary’s campaign so that the RNC does not do to her what the DNC did to our champ.
Mark Levin Rush said she is the only one with Moral courage to stand up to Obama & the liberl hags she would delicately put them in their place with class.. God go with you guys..
Agreed. They won’t endorse anybody now, but they know who the libs fear, and they see what we all do: Gov. Palin hitting Zero with ninja stars left and right, day after day.
I think Gov. Palin would kick Obama’s ass from one end of the country to the other.
My best friend, a raging lib, makes a big point of saying how much he wants the GOP to nominate Gov. Palin. So I say to him, “Great — ’cause that’s a fight I want!”
Nothing better than a fight both sides want, right?
“Gov. Palin hitting Zero with ninja stars left and right, day after day.”
And she has been doing it from the very beginning. Unlike the boys, who waited until they saw the coast was clear before doing so (and not very effectively either).3e21`
Two weeks after Sarah Palin's unique exit from public office, Newt Gingrich offered up some unsolicited counsel for the former governor in an interview with POLITICO. Apparently, Newt was certain that Palin's reputation needed serious burnishing, and he was all too ready to provide it by offering substantial details on the range and style of speeches that would be most appropriate for Palin to deliver to various audiences in order to sustain a public revival. Exactly why he felt she needed his help remains a bit of a mystery, except that Gingrich, like Karl Rove, seems absolutely certain that the world is always on edge awaiting his next tactical stroke of genius.

Scozzafava supports the same extreme political positions (card-check, Obama stimulus) as any adolescent left-wing blogger. She maintains deep alliances with the most radical and odious groups (Acorn, Working Family Party) associated with the Democratic Party. By standing with her, Newt Gingrich has earned that dreaded label he once affixed to Nancy Pelosi. Newt has become a partisan and trivial politician. He has become a common hack.
In contrast, Sarah Palin just compiles conservative esteem. When she railed against the compromised Republican machine in its support of Scozzafava, it felt like a stiff, clean, purifying breeze. In her October 24th Facebook Note announcing her support for Hoffman, Palin argued with deep philosophical references to conservative ideals. Her support and conviction were not products of a focus group. The note moved many a radio talk show host who read it aloud, from Mark Levin to Tammy Bruce. It was the reasoned stance of a visionary.
Palin evoked Ronald Reagan, mentioned the importance of establishing sharp contrasts with opponents, and stressed the primacy of principle over party. Palin continues to be the antithesis of the trivial politician. She has that unique ability to convey the highest sense of personal honor without ever projecting any of the usual political pomposity. Perhaps the highest compliment we can pay Palin is that she is always interesting and always surprising.

But she has chosen Facebook, not YouTube, as her preferred mode of communication, at least for now. And over and over again, she has proven highly effective and influential, whether discussing health care, energy, China policy, defense, or congressional elections.
It's an effectiveness gained through focus, a focus that we can only hope other politicians begin to emulate. Free markets, individual liberty, small government, strong national defense, and low taxes are the constant themes she invokes. Along with those values, she makes constant mention of the two political giants of the 20th century who embodied them, championed them, and communicated them tirelessly: Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.
While pundit after pundit argues that we should throw Reagan over the side in pursuit of Obama-lite, Palin is bringing us back to the principled, universal roots that Reagan shared with the Founders. While many columnists anguish over immoderate candidates, Palin warns against "blurring the lines" and writes a Facebook birthday tribute to Margaret Thatcher.
A recent Gallup poll shows that in America, conservatives outnumber liberals by two to one. We know from history that conservatives can win landslide elections. But conservatives need to be confident to be resurgent. None of us knows what Sarah Palin has in mind for 2012 and beyond. But if she is the force that helped us regain the confidence of our convictions, then she will have given us a gift beyond repayment.
