Palin Hints At Independent Conservative Movement

Palin Hints At Independent Conservative Movement

Enter now Sarah Palin with very encouraging comments that lead one to believe that she is indeed planning to do what she must: build an independent conservative movement and take this nation back from the liberals which now control both parties.Thanks liberals, for provoking Sarah into the national scene while vetting that family at the same time.

One thing I will say, the Washington Times with their headline for this exclusive interview reveal an anti-Palin stance. She is, don’t doubt, a threat to every existing political status quo. I hope the Washington Times and their editors realize, sooner than later, that the Palin movement is unstoppable and their credibility would be saved simply by reporting the news instead of becoming a GOP version of the NYT.

She's got my vote!

Well Keli I also like her independence and her willingness to take on the so-called acknowledged political experts.

One place we seem to disagree on though is it seems to me the republican hoi poloi is more threatened by her than the Dems are.

You seem to think the Dems feel threatened more.

I dont see the Dems feeling threatened by her. ( because they underestimate her.)

Seems to me she is to the national republican party what Charlotte Pritt was to the WV Democrat Party.

I really like her populist approach and the idea of funding gvt. by taxing those most able to pay instead of those least able to resist.

My best guess is if she was WV Governor we would be taxing coal at least at the same rate as grandma's graham crackers.

There might even be a direct re-distribution of wealth from the coal shysters to the people like they have from the oil industry in Alaska.

I dont see the Dems feeling threatened by her. ( because they underestimate her.)

I was inclined (for maybe the first time ever) to agree with you until it occurred to me that all the attacks have come from the left.

Well I dont feel threatened.

I kinda like her.

I was pretty sure I had seen criticism of her from the republicans but I could be wrong.

There was an article in Vanity Fair that claimed anonymous sources in the McCain campaign. Only those on the left consider Vanity Fair a legitimate journal.

For what it's worth, the two GOP individuals the LA Times quoted on Palin, when I did a google search, about the only reference that came up was there comments on Palin.

Sarah Palin most likely goes the way of Alan Keyes with an independent conservative movement; however, I still hope she does so, as it can have the effect of holding the Republicans' feet to the conservative fire. But Palin's political future will be as a martyr (prayerfully not literally) rather than an elected official.

OK, first of all you have the MCCAIN campaign, quite likely the worst run campaign in modern history. Then you have an ANONYMOUS source from the useless campaign, mentioned in VANITY FAIR. But sure, some Republicans somewhere have spoken ill of her. No doubt. You can always find a Republican or a Democrat to say the darndest things.

Well I just did a google and that's what came up.

It's ok by me if you think the Dems fear her more than the Republican poo-bahs.

But most of the comments I hear from Dems indicate they dont take her serious.

I think the democrats are scared shirtless of her and they have been since the moment she was announced as the VP candidate. That is the reason for the all out attack that continued long after the election was over.

I think they are so scared that if the truth were to come out, we would learn that it is they who was behind the onslaught of baseless allegations that led to her actions last week.

And I have a feeling that no matter what she does, she will continue to be the focus of their continued maligning and personal attacks.

But I'm sure that's just me and in reality no Democrat has ever said a mean or spiteful word about anyone, especially her.

You expect the Democrats to come out and say they're worried about her? They know that will only encourage Palin and her supporters even more.....I think she's a force to be reckoned with. Just got back from little Rhody where my Republican friends and relations couldn't stop talking about how much they adore her.

Well I saw where she will be campaigning for some Dems as well as republicans in the next cycle.

If I was a democrat running in WV she sure could campaign for me.

I totally predicted this back during the campaign - the formation of a "family values" party with Saint Sarah as the figurehead. Good-bye, GOP)

She doesn't scare me (of course I'm not a democrat), she alternately entertains and enrages me.

I am scared about a severely weakened GOP. We need it to combat the all too liberal democrats.

The part of me that wants more entertainment hopes we see more of her. The part of me that wants the fed to stay mostly gridlocked (and thus more ineffective) hopes she goes away.

Those “gridlocks” are super-duper great thingys for making stupendous advancements in our socio-economic future.

And our Public School System and Government bureaucracy proves it.

,

Well Terry come on be objective.

The good ol GOP boys better hope she goes the independent route.

Can you imagine her duking it out with Mitt Romney, Haley Barber, and that Jinkovich boy or whatever his name is from La.?

They would all look foolish compared to her.

(but I dont expect the republican pooh-bahs to even have a clue what I am talking about.)

Do you mean Piyush Amrit "Bobby" Jindal, the youngest governor in the United States and the first Indian American governor after winning 54% of Louisiana’s vote in a 4 person race, a 2 term Congressman who won 88% of the vote in his latest Congressional election and who is considered a staunch conservative?

Those “gridlocks” are super-duper great thingys for making stupendous advancements in our socio-economic future.

Blah, blah, blah. Typical Sammy sarcastic nothing comment.

It keeps them too busy to step on us, or at least step on us as much.

Who is to blame for that? The GOP, perhaps?

Well now, ya can't be blaming the partisan Democrat voters, ..... now can ya?

The Democrats have more un-named "whipping boys" tied up in their closets than one can shake a stick at.

How so?

Their extremism. Their pandering to the religious right, among other things.

Flogging the people with gods, guns and gays will only hold on to the people that gave Bush a good approval - around 30% of voting Americans.

How can the dems NOT gain power under those circumstances?

I wouldn't know, I'm a registered independent that won't vote for a candidate I haven't researched.

Personally, I wish party affiliation would be taken off of every ballot in the country for every election.

But the thing is, Dems didn't gain power until Republicans ran a moderate. Don't you think it seemss odd that they couldn't beat a "right wing nut job" who ended up with a 30% approval rating? They had to wait until Republicans ran a moderate who was supposed to work with both sides of the ailse and then they barely beat him. It seems to me that throws water on your argument.
