Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich
The way the Left goes ballistic over Palin makes the GOP act like mice. The reason why there is no leadership in GOP is because whoever steps forward will be villified just like Palin.
The Republican Party has NOT been a friend to conservatives. Just ask Rush about it. I was there at the CPAC in Washington DC and he really laid it on. His conclusion: Their agenda is almost indistinguishable from the liberal fascists, and this is an inevitable consequence of any 2-party system.
Currently, Governor Sarah Palin is the only Republican politician who is in high demand on the talk show circuit, has galliardising support, is directly or indirectly responsible for developing massive email distribution lists, growing the online presence of conservative chat rooms, networking site and blogs and has the ability to fund-raise at the level of President Bush. Since the Nov. 4th election, most of the new conservative blogs and sites have been created on behalf of Sarah Palin or created by administrators supportive of Palin and/or her conservative positions. The online growth (blogs, youtube, conservative social networking) is Palin motivated and Palin targeted.
The three largest national pro-Palin organizations, http://www.draftpalinforpresident.com/, http://www.teamsarah.org/ and the http://www.nfrw.org/links.htm have nearly 600,000 members. All three groups have a national organization, a fundraising apparatus and have utilized their membership lists, technology and networking capabilities to work on behalf of Senator Chambliss. DraftPalin and teamsarah only developed their networks in the last 200 plus days. These three sites, in combination with the other pro-Palin sites/blogs and networks will easily exceed the 1 million membership mark before the end of next year.
The online Palin movement is the ONLY conservative network to adopt identical technology and networking platforms as the successful BO Presidential campaign. The Palin movement will be the critical factor in saving many Senators and House members in 2010, which is why liberals want Palin to become insignificant and shun from the national stage.
We can’t forget Sarah Palin Radio http://www.wsradio.com/internet-talk-radio.cfm/shows/Sarah-Palin-Radio.html which has moved from 120th place at wsRadio to #7 in just 3 weeks. They are hoping that she will use this platform to speak directly, unfiltered to the American public, and I hope she does. Team Sarah is growing at the rate of about 150-200 new members every day, and is now over 64,000. When I joined 3 weeks ago it was just over 60,000.
The RINO’s at the RNC may not like her, and the media hate her, but the regular people, like me, like her. I’ve already got a “You can keep the change, Palin 2012” bumpersticker on my car, and a Palin for President 2012 button. I have no doubt that if she decides to run in 2012 she will be able to raise the billion or more dollars that it will take to compete head to head with BO. She is the only politician that has actually inspired me, and a lot of others, to vote FOR her and not just against the other side.
There are great things in store for her, all she has to do is reach out for it, and want it as much as we want her to want it.
Newt would be great as RNC chair. What bugs me about Newt is that he doesn’t want to do the hard work to obtain a leadership position. For example in 2007, Newt said he would run for President only if people donated $30 million to him in a month’s time. In December 2007, Newt said he would consider running for RNC Chair if eonough people formed a “Draft Newt for RNC Chair”. Leadership means coming out and making the case for yourself.
He wasted the greatest opportunity the GOP has had in the last generation. Had he been able to maintain his vows and keep spending in check we would have had a STRONG congress in 2000 that could have gotten down to real fiscal reforms. As much as he deserves some of the credit for the successes of the COA he deserves a certain share of the blame for the political climate in which we find ourselves today.
ALSO remember Newt's hideously awful term as Speaker was the pre-eminent factor in the resurrection of Bill Clinton's presidency.
Newt thought up a great campaign gimmick. His attempt to implement that gimmick was a ghastly failure. He's a fine strategist - but he's a terrible politician.
Newt has long ago given in to the beltway, cocktail party mentality.
Newt still dreams of getting the GOP nod himself. He is stuck with the perpetual dream of a fat boy who wants to be popular. He will never succeed, but he will try to undermine the prospects of other, better candidates.
This photo was taken at their joint announcement of their support for the ascinine theory of 'Gorebal Warming!'
Goodbye Newtie! You're a pain in the pelosi! He and pelosi already made the best commercial to use against Newt.
Newt is a Republican/conservative fraud of the highest order.
Of the Pelosi/Newt commercial on "climate change" which one is really the stooge/useful idiot for the other party???????????
Newt Gingrich: a younger version of Bob Dole. Let’s hope the Pubies don’t get Doled again like in ‘96!
Newt has become so inconsistent that he is losing his credibility.
Newt is smart but his eyes dart around all the time when he speaks. Shifty eyes to me appear to be a sign of a devious person.
Sarah rocks! Newt slithers!
Not even the fluid of nine tanna leaves can bring Newt's chances back to life. Us villagers already have our torches and pitchforks ready if he comes out.
Newt is moot.
Yesterday’s child.
We are looking otward the future.
And the future is Sarah Palin.
The GOP can get onboard or stay at the station.
Their choice.
The Nuge is always right as usual. He should be syndicated throughout the country so that lefties get some truth. Okay, I appreciate Ted Nugent, but I really don’t feel inclined to read the political musings of anyone who writes the following sentences: “XXX is cool. It rocks.” No thank you. And the man is no Reagan, Churchill or Thatcher, which is what this country badly needs.
Palin’s the one.
I think for most RINOs, Sarah scares the pants off these guys because she is a direct threat to their control over the Republican Party. I also LOVE it that the Left feels very threatened by her. I will vote for ANYONE that the Left despises or feels threatened by.
In 2012 Sarah Palin’s common sense approach will be the same breath of fresh air that Reagan was after the Carter debacle.
The people that voted “for her” on Nov 2008 are not going to be swayed by anything the out of touch “leadership” attempts against her. The people are the “deciders” and Newt and the rest of the “leaders” will just have to go along with “the people’s choice in the next presidential election cycle. As far as I’m concerned, and as far as I can determine, Sarah is by far the front-runner for the conservatives/republicans who matter.
The goal must be to find new faces of Conservatism and re-gain control of Government. As for Newt—get out of the way—or be swept up in history. He will make a good secretary of state in a new White House of led by Conservatives.
She's admired and supported from Coast to Coast . . . Check out the MySpace Team Sarah. The people are from the East Coast to the West Coast, from the Rio Grand to the Canadian Border, from Key Largo to Honolulu.
Newt, you're being used by the MSM. They know you are a has-been-there-done-that-ain't-gonna-do-it-again. Give it up and get a real job outside of politics.
And Newt. Why don't you go take care of your sick wife. You are so 1990s.
Newt, just like the RINOs in my tagline, you’re expendable. Sarah isn’t.
Newt's nickname should really be "Neut" since he, single-glandedly, neutered everything he had stood for.
2010 and 2012 is going to be OUR year to choose OUR candidate. We will NOT allow the Media to hand us a RINO or other loser to vote for.
THAT is part of what the TEA Parties have been all about. It’s THEM against US . . . Media and the “inside boys” against Normal US Citizen Taxpayers - people who do the right thing because it’s the right thing not because someone has passed a law that says we have to do the right thing.
WE MUST KEEP MEDIA FROM HIJACKING THE ELECTIONS IN 2010 and 2012.
