Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Palin: GOP Establishment vs. Tea Party Grassroots

Archer,

You never posted a word in this whole thread that I don't agree with. I guess we're on the same page.

I know the political establishment would love to see an Obamy vs. Romney election. That way the established can keep on carrying on. Lots of Republicans can pat themselves on the back if Romney wins. The D will become an R!!! and that's all that matters to most. The progress rate of the Progressives may slow up just a bit for an election or two -- Probably not much though -- and we'll all arrive at the same destination eventually anyway.

Palin might not be the sharpest crayon in in the box (according to some), but she is a heck of a lot smarter than all the Romney backers who would sell their soul for the magic irrelevant "R".

Fortunately Perky is not in the mix.

I've seen enough of your posts to be absolutely certain of one thing -- "Perky" is a hell of a lot smarter than you.

Here are more highlights from �Palin's rambling, narcissistic and virtually incoherent resignation from the governorship speech.�
July 3, 2009
Here�s some of the things we�ve done:
We created a petroleum integrity office to oversee safe development. We held the line FOR Alaskans on Point Thomson � and finally for the first time in decades � they�re drilling for oil and gas
We have AGIA, the gasline project � a massive bi-partisan victory (the vote was 58 to 1!) � also succeeding as intended � protecting Alaskans as our clean natural gas will flow to energize us, and America, through a competitive, pro-private sector project. This is the largest private sector energy project, ever. THIS is energy independence.
And ACES � another bipartisan effort � is working as intended and industry is publicly acknowledging its success.
Our new oil and gas �clear and equitable formula� is so Alaskans will no longer be taken advantage of.
ACES incentivizes NEW exploration and development and JOBS that were previously not going to happen with a monopolized North Slope oil basin.

We cleaned up previously accepted unethical actions; we ushered in bi-partisan Ethics Reform.
We also slowed the rate of government growth, we worked with the Legislature to save billions of dollars for the future, and I made no lobbyist friends with my hundreds of millions of dollars in budget vetoes� but living beyond our means today is irresponsible for tomorrow.
We took government out of the dairy business and put it back into private-sector hands � where it should be.
We provided unprecedented support for education initiatives, and with the right leadership, finally filled long-vacant public safety positions.
We built a sub-Cabinet on Climate Change and took heat from Outside special interests for our biologically-sound wildlife management for abundance.
We broke ground on the new prison.

And we made common sense conservative choices to eliminate personal luxuries like the jet, the chef, the junkets� the entourage.
And the Lt. Governor and I said �no� to our pay raises.
So much success in this first term � and with this success I am proud to take credit� for hiring the right people!
Our goal was to achieve a gasline project, more fair oil and gas valuation, and ethics reform in four years.
We did it in two.
It�s because of the people� good public servants surrounding the Governor�s office, with servants� hearts and astounding work ethic� THEY are Alaska�s success!

If she had such a great half term as Governor why didn't she continue her illustrious career as Governor instead of quiting and becoming a minor celebrity?

The answer to that of course is the legal defense fund it would have taken to fend off the lawsuits being threatened wasn't something she could (or should have to) afford. A literal army of lawyers, reporters, and politicos were dispatched to end her career.

Initially we were lead to belive it was all lefties wailing, and gnashing their teeth - now, I'm not so sure.

Perfect!

Yeah, a lot of the impetus came from the Right during her half-term as governor. Soon as she achieved office, she started sinking he teeth into those boys and exposing their corruption. They didn't like that.

You're crazy Bow. She's a freaking conservative, not what we want, though Newt isn't conservative enough.

You have to judge Newt by the company he keeps; endorsed by Palin,Cain,Perry and Cunningham. Newt has divided the party between the kids and grown-ups, the embarrassing and the presentable, the preposterous and the sober.

Fox did a segment this AM on the hit job the GOP is trying to pull on him this am. Unreal.

Ha ha, now there's some sub minute accuracy. IMO, Gov. Palin is an enemy of my enemy and I don't give one ounce of class envy about how much dough she makes either.

The more she makes the less likely she is to mess in elected politics, good for her and good for the Country.

You go girly.

That's the best that stupid Spanky can do.

Jealous little punk, aren't you.

Staying in office would have cost the tax payers millions fighting off the endless assault of meaningless drivel-filled lawsuits from the liberal left.

You might recall, the liberals went after Palin as though she were running against dingleBarry. They hardly lifted a finger against McLame.... and they won't against McRomney, either, for the exact same reasons....

Palin was saving tax payer's money, plain and simple.
What a novel concept. Almost something you'd expect from a public servant...

Go back and read up on what she did to the deeply rooted establishment hacks in AK. When she's POTUS she'll do the same thing in DC. If you think people fought against her in the past, just wait. You ain't seen nothing yet!

But Spankpanky, that was all posted a couple of pages ago: part of Governor �Palin's rambling, narcissistic and virtually incoherent resignation from the governorship speech.�

July 3, 2009 �Nah, only dead fish �go with the flow�
�Some say things changed for me on August 29th last year � the day John McCain tapped me to be his running-mate � I say others changed�Political operatives descended on Alaska last August, digging for dirt.
The ethics law I championed became their weapon of choice.
Over the past nine months I�ve been accused of all sorts of frivolous ethics violations � such as holding a fish in a photograph, wearing a jacket with a logo on it, and answering reporters� questions�Every one � all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We�ve won!
But it hasn�t been cheap � the State has wasted THOUSANDS of hours of YOUR time and shelled out some two million of YOUR dollars to respond to �opposition research� � that�s money NOT going to fund teachers or troopers � or safer roads.
And this political absurdity, the �politics of personal destruction� � Todd and I are looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills in order to set the record straight.
And what about the people who offer up these silly accusations?
It doesn�t cost them a dime so they�re not going to stop draining public resources � spending other peoples� money in their game.�

And she went on to say:
�Life is too short to compromise time and resources� it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: �Sit down and shut up�, but that�s the worthless, easy path; that�s a quitter�s way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy.
It would be apathetic to just hunker down and �go with the flow.�

�Nah, only dead fish �go with the flow� No.
Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time...I WILL support others who seek to serve, in or out of office, for the RIGHT reasons, and I don�t care what party they�re in or no party at all. Inside Alaska � or Outside Alaska.�

Bows, my boy, do you think Perky will get the Nomination this year? Please say no.

The spastic wailing by the wounded RINOs is like sweet music. They still may rally to install the masshole as their guy who loses to the kenyan, rather than a slightly shorter horned Newt, & certainly any real conservative will be attacked with the heat of a thousand suns. The shots smoking across their RINO bow may help to affect future platforms and candidate choices. May.. Fire at will.

More likely is an even more terribly fractured party that splits and ensures the lib/progressive/socialists win for the foreseeable future.

It looks like we haven't come anywhere near the pain threshold required for the status quo fellers to bite off a piece of smaller government, yet. Everything in good time. Pain is coming & it is thanks to the guys with sharp horns on their noses. The clear lesson of 2010 has been squandered, again. No surprise, again.

The party shill, board trolls are hard at work here, as they are on other sites. You can see their cut & paste strategy flooding every site on the net. "Electable" is one of their main battle crys, again, plus the alinsky tactics are popular, as well. It's kinda fun to toss it back, just for sport, sometimes. [bleep] 'em.

[quote=BOWSINGER]Why is Sarah Palin still my first choice?

Bow:


Help me out here a bit.... Who is Sarah Palin? Does she do a show like Jersey Shores or does she cool Meth in Wasilla?
