Sarah Palin to Contribute to Fox News

[garand4life]

I had the fortune of meeting her when she came through the Ohio Valley just before the election. Not only is she genuinely concerned for the US she understands the world in the same way, I think, most Americans do. Simple solutions equal better resolutions. She may be inexperienced but as I have found from my experiences in management sometimes the lack of experience allows for a more wide angle view on the "world". You're not likely to have blinders directing you. I think she has the potential to be an incredible force for re-establishing a 1770's mindset of personal responsibility and independence. No, I'm not a Palin apologist. I was really impressed listening to her when she talks of the cuff. When she does interviews that aren't dictated by McCain crackheads she is spot on with her personal opinions on most things. I'm not 100% in agreement with everything she says. But, I feel that on the things that really matter she has a good sense of what has to be done. Hell any politician that knows an AR-15 is not an Assault rifle scores high with me.

I usually stay out of the politics, but...
People I talk to about politics are regular folks, and we often disagree a LOT. Many seem to think that we know how to fix a problem and, even though they believe that our elected officials aren't getting the job done, they still feel that a candidate needs "experience" to be elected. That argument comes up most in discussing Palin. She's just a mom, just a half term governor, just a crusader, just from Alaska, etc., etc.
My feeling is that when I look at Sarah Palin, I see someone who lives next door. I see a sister, an aunt, the lady at the food store, I see the mayor or a cop from my home town. She is real people with all of the faults, mistakes, and REALITY of any of us, and it's all OUT THERE for you to see. She definitely is NOT what we know as a politician.

Then I look at our government that we all agree AINT working and I look at the elected officials...disconnected liars, whores, all rich people, all power hungry... Harry Reid, McCain, Pelosi, Barney Frank, Clinton, Bush...and I have no doubts about WHY our govt. doesn't work. It's because of politicians.

Sarah Palin doesn't have "experience" and the left villifies her for being "folksy" and having an accent. Yet our POTUS has no experience...in fact, I cannot concieve of how a man over forty years of age could possibly have LESS experience unless he was locked in a closet in an Acorn office his whole life. The man has done NOTHING except go through the pinnacle of egg head educational institutions that have prepared him  for nothing but writing books about himself and making speeches, yet he has never had to hire or fire someone, never had to balance business books, and yet he is our president because all of those a******s who believe that Sarah Palin doesn't have enough experience ELECTED this guy.

When I argue politics with folks we often come to the conclusion that our govt, SHOULD consist of citzens, not professional politicians. My plumber would make a good president. The local undertaker is smart and makes careful, considered decisions. WE THE PEOPLE should represent ourselves, not allow this slimy political industry to dictate to us. Yet we fall for the sham every time. Smart, even brilliant people somehow come to the conclusion that people JUST LIKE THEM are not qualified because they don't have that political experience.

Palin is a real person with the drive to dive in and try to do something. The left is scared to death of her. If I have to entrust the stewardship of my country and the integrity of the presidency to Barack Hussein Obama, I'd be willing to let Sarah Palin have a shot at it. She knows what it's like to worry about paying the bills, and she knows the difference between a bolt action and a semi automatic. I say let her go as high as she wants. The worst she could possibly do is what we've got right now. [color]

Well said jaybet, and 100% right on the money. Her "lack of experience" in my opinion, is one of her greatest assets. I could just picture her sitting in the Oval Office saying, No, we simply cannot AFFORD it!  Bill T.

[Badgersmilk]

She's hot, controversial, entertaining, to one degree or another people can identify with her, and hot.  What more could you want in a tv personality?!?

Would she be my first choice as a politician?  Get me something to slap you with!

And it is one of the worst "assets " for BHO.. becasue he doesn't have the common sense or the understanding of "the people" to go with it.

I don't think this was posted here before, but if it has been, well, sorry for the reminder...

Even is Sarah is ignorant of a problem, she has shown that she will learn what she needs to make a decision, that her decision will be based on principles I support,  and that the has the backbone to do what needs to be done.....on with the post

By  Dewie Whetsell,  Alaskan  Fisherman.
As posted in  comments on Greta's article referencing the MOVEON ad about  Sarah Palin.


The  last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town  in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, it's  about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here.

1. Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.

2. Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed  and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.

3. The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.


4. Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't  impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.


5. For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started. Then, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the  court house. Alaska won again.


6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath.


By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now these adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab  and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda known better.


You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents' wives.


So "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your guts, determination, honesty, and morals. I  rest my case. Only FOOLS listen to the biased  media.

Excellent post. I saved it. Thanks.  Bill T.

 And she doesn't look like all those other women in politics, Pelosi, Boxer, Clinton  

(She actually smiles instead of that "I'm taking a dump" grimace )
