Sarah Palin promises to be more rogue' (When I do run again)

The Globe & Mail ^ | Thursday October 14, 2010 | GARY MASON

Posted on by Bigtigermike

In a speech that seemed crafted for Tea Party followers more than curious Canadians, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin used an invitation to address an upscale book club audience here to preach the virtues of free enterprise and praise the power of tax cuts to cure all economic woes.

Most of the evening, however, was spent denouncing the free-spending ways, of U.S. President Barack Obama. She took particular aim at the Democratic presidents health-care reform measures and tax increases, both of which she said are job killers.

I call myself a common sense conservative, Ms. Palin told the crowd, a mix of Vancouvers old establishment and new elite and a group that crossed political party lines.

She referred to the current platform of President Obama as the failed policies of a leftist politician.

(His government) has super-sized an already too big government, Ms. Palin said. Enough is enough. Also rising up is what I call the Mama Grizzlies, mothers like myself who see the actions of this government as robbing our childrens futures.

One of my favourite signs at one of the Tea Party rallies said: My kid is not my ATM. And thats right. What we are seeing is generational theft. Its completely unethical.

She referenced the Tea Party movement as a grassroots awakening its all about the little guys.

Ms. Palins recipe for turning around U.S. fortunes focused on slaying the countrys burgeoning deficit  there are not enough monies in the entire world to cover our debts right now  and stimulating the economy by turning it over to business men and women who know what they are doing.

....She seemed to agree with one person who suggested she allowed herself to be too programmed by Republican presidential candidate John McCains handlers during the pairs bid for the White House. Thanks for the advice, said Ms. Palin, at the event ostensibly to plug her book Going Rogue. When I do run again I will be more rogue.

That's right, Canadians (and other Globe and Mail readers) have absolutely no use for free enterprise or tax cuts.

...and praise the power of tax cuts to cure all economic woes... I think the dominant conservative meme at this time is that "low taxes" is what the private sector needs, and in most political circles simply leaving the Bush cuts in place would suffice. The author is displaing his anti-conservative bias by snarkily mis-stating the conservative formula for economic revival. NO ONE is saying that tax cuts will cure all economic woes.



To: Genoa

No matter what Palin does or does not do in the next national election, she is a person the RNC may ignore or deprecate at their own peril. Palin was a good politician to begin with, and her activities since the last national election may be seen as the completion and refinement of her abilities and image. Getting and keeping in touch with American Conservatism is making her THE pivot point of Conservative strength and the focus of our intentions for the country, immediately and long term.

Good work BTM, one 2DV missed ;-) I like the sound of “when” just fine, and more rogue is always better than less.



To: Bigtigermike

Ha, ha. Eat your heart out, Mason. If you keep that attitude, you will never have a politician who cares more about your country than Gov. Palin cares about ours.

I'd like to be that man she's looking at.

here to preach No, that's not biased. /s

RNC is not assisting Ms O’Donnell in Delaware? This is what she said in an interview post CNN debate. They left her on her own. That tells me a lot about the RNC. No donation for them.

"I like the sound of when just fine, and more rogue is always better than less." Precisely. She's going for it, and her "polling numbers" will change instantly once she officially announces. Once we get past the "Great American Avalanche of November 2010" it'll be game-on. I think she'll be smart to keep giving her faithful the none-too-subtle hints for a while, but hold off on the official announcement just to cut down on the amount of time her rabidly foaming attackers will have to slash, smash and spray us all with their putrid halitosis-laden spittle. ;-\

Sorry Sarah. If you want to really put your money where your mouth is and go with the “little guys”, join the Constitution Party and call it a day. After all, the plan is already in place over there and you would fit in nicely with your statements. If only you just would stand up and call a spade a spade. It’s pretty easy to follow the CP plan because it follows the Constitution. No surprises there. Heck, even encourage an actual Tea Party. Do something. The Republicrats have this woman on a leash, that’s for sure. And Tea Partiers are eating it up hook line and sinker. Republicans are going to get a nice wakeup call come 2012, if there’s an election at all. Have you not learned from the lovely record the Republicans have been racking up lately? Have you not learned from the 2008 elections? The “hope and change” you’re expecting sounds eerily familiar. If you don’t hold your candidates accountable, what do you expect will change, other than a few less dollars going to a federal regime that will just assume put you in slave garb? I’ve got news for you; any vote for any Republicat truly is a wasted vote, as you say. You’re seeing this in Colorado. Tancredo has taken a stand, and he’s primed to be the first CP governor. He’s now free to do what he needs without all the buddy-buddy hand holding that’s sent this nation into a nose dive. The CP has very simple rules: Follow the Constitution (DUH). Have Christian values. Be Conservative. It’s time to say goodbye to the party that has misled you, stolen from you, and duped you with an empty promise of hope and change. It’s time to stop being a group of loyal lemmings and start thinking about the future of the U.S. Pick a side that actually cares for the future, not some bloated, worthless party who’s time has passed. Whether it be the CP or an actual Tea Party, stand up and tell your leaders you’ve had it and want to start over. Otherwise, expect to be gravely disappointed.

"I'd like to be that man she's looking at." No, I think not... that's a photo of her at the 2008 Vice Presidential debate, when she was asking Joe Biden, "Do you mind if I call you 'Joe'?" This was right before she tore him a new one on national TV. Poor Joey Biden had to lie and misstate facts 23 different times just to create the false illusion of belonging on the same stage with her. If she's ever looking at you like that, run. That's the same look a Kodiak bear gives a salmon as it's leaping into its waiting jaws. I have a version of this formatted for a screensaver; she looks so freaking predatory. ;-/
