ABC News is reporting that Sarah has eared more than $12,000,000 since leaving office last July. Yowza. She deserves every penny of it. Keep speaking the Truth, Ms Palin, and we'll keep the checks coming!

And so it begins: Tancredo declares

Sources close to man himself are confirming that Tom is in the 2012 hunt. I've been on the phone all evening with various operatives - it's likely that you'll hear more from Fox tomorrow. Hard to say how this will impact the other contenders, but I wouldn't want to mud-wrestle this man. There's blood in the water.

Bachman Palin Overdrill:

"I knew that we'd be buddies when I met her when she said, 'Drill here, drill now.' And then I replied, 'Drill, baby, drill' and then we both said, 'You betcha!'"

There they go again--All This Is That, sob sisters and apologists for a President gone very wrong

2010-03-10T22:22:00.000-08:00

By Mona Goldwater, Editor

Today Pablo Fanque, "national affairs editor" of All This Is That wrote:

It has become abundantly clear that the Republicans and the Tea Party People think they have found the winning issue in their quest to return to power. From chairman Michael Steele to windbag Mitch McConnell, the GOP have said that they will hold the Democrats feet to the fire for passing health care reform come November.

Essentially the Republicans intend to campaign on their twisted belief that there is nothing wrong with the way insurance companies do business. In fact, the GOP seems to say, we probably need to cut them even more leeway. [Ed's note: how's that free-enterprisey stuff workin' for ya?]

Once again, Fanque drags the noble Tea Party activists into his specious argument, and as he almost always does, mischaracterizes nearly everything the Republican Party stands for. His title for the article? "The steaming pile in D.C. is almost up to Obama's Adam's Apple:::::BHO catches fire again."

Let's face it Pablo--the biggest steaming pile in Washington is the one generated by your keyboard. I will grant you one thing. You hit it on the head, when you said that Obama is catching fire. That's true. But, alas, friendo, it's his pants.

Tempest in a teapot: "Sarah Palin's family sought health care in Canada"

2010-03-09T22:37:00.000-08:00

Yeah, it was splashed across the headlines that Sarah Palin's family utilized health care in Canada. Read the article. They really had no choice, and it was not their first choice...but it was their only choice.

The real story appeared in the UK Telegraph yesterday:

Sarah Palin has raised questions over her staunch criticism of state health care after the former Alaska governor admitted her own family used to "zoom" over the border to get treated in Canada's hospitals.

By Tom Leonard in New York

Published: 1:14AM GMT 10 Mar 2010

Sarah Palin has criticised Mr Obama's health care reform proposals Photo: EPA The former Republican vice presidential candidate has been a frequent critic of big government and has lambasted Barack Obama's health care reforms as ushering in socialised medicine, denouncing his plans as "downright evil".

But during a weekend speech in Calgary, she revealed that her family used medical care in Whitehorse, the capital of Canada's Yukon Territory, decades ago.

Sarah Palin quits as governor of Alaska in surprise moveShe also criticised the publicly funded system saying that it should be dismantled in favour of free enterprise.

Mrs Palin, who moved as a child to the south-eastern Alaska town of Skagway, was speaking at an event sponsored by the Fraser Institute, a conservative Canadian think tank.

However, she did acknowledge the irony of her comments.

"Believe it or not - this was in the sixties - we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse," she said.

"I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing, and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse, and I think, 'Isn't that kind of ironic now'. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada."

Chuck Heath, Mrs Palin's father, said they had had little choice but use the Canadian facilities given Skagway's location.

"There was no road out of there at that time. The ferry schedule was very erratic. We had no doctor in Skagway," he said.

"The plane schedule was very erratic. The winds dictated whether the planes could come in or not."

He said his family probably took the train to the Whitehorse hospital only twice - once when his son burned his leg and again when a daughter had rheumatic fever.

Mr Heath also stressed that they had "much preferred" to use US medical facilities as his insurance did not cover any treatment in Whitehorse....

Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin share a close moment on the campaign trail

2010-03-09T00:57:00.000-08:00

Not completely sure if this photo illustrates the close partnership Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain enjoyed, or perhaps something more sinister? Or was it just one of those moments of temporary insanity?

Editor's note: This site was hacked, and the offending photoraph (is it?), or Photoshop job, was placed here without out permission. We took it down. Until we got a nasty note from another Sarah Palin blogger, who runs the Texas for Sarah Palin site. Sorry, Gary, there is still a first amendment, and as disgusting as the photo may be, well, this was someone's opinion. If it offended you, it must not be all that bad.

The Silver Spoon Demands An Apology To Sarah Palin

2010-03-08T00:01:00.000-08:00

In the aftermath of "Swaggate," the Silver Spoon has put out an explanation, and a demand for an apology to Ex-Governor Palin:

The Silver Spoon, a company owned and operated by women and established with a firm belief in supporting women in business and leadership, invited Governor Sarah Palin and her family to participate in a charitable function sponsored by The Silver Spoon and the Red Cross to support the Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts in Haiti.

Governor Palin graciously accepted since it was in support of such a worthy and timely cause. The governor arrived with a small group about 15 minutes prior to our store’s official opening; and upon arrival, she and her entire group gave generous donations to the cause. We offered to open early to accommodate her schedule; she did not ask us to open early. The other vendors routinely set up an hour before the event opens, so they were already there when the governor arrived. No one was asked to come in early. When Governor Palin arrived, she and her guests made generous donations.

I escorted her around and introduced her to every vendor, and they talked to her about their products and gifted her with samples. She never asked for anything but politely accepted the products. The governor and her family and guests were very gracious and respectful to everyone. We asked and the governor happily agreed to take a photo with the American Red Cross staff and the staff of The Silver Spoon. The governor stayed for a total of about 35 minutes, thanked everyone, made an additional generous personal donation pledge to the Red Cross, and then departed.

The stories currently circulating about Governor Palin’s attendance at our event are total fabrications. Just one example of the many falsehoods is the ridiculous idea that Governor Palin walked away with 40 AIAIAI headphones. In reality, she was given two pairs of AIAIAI headphones – one for herself and one for her daughter Bristol who could not attend the event. The idea that she took 40 pairs is an outrageous falsehood. It would have been impossible because the vendors only bring around 100 items for the entire two day event. They would have run out of product after an hour of opening yesterday.

Just to clarify things, the entire point of giving someone a swag bag is to have them take your product and hopefully purchase more. The whole point of giving away products is to “give them away.” That’s why we call this type of event style a “gifting suite.”

We would like an immediate retraction and an apology to The Silver Spoon, its vendors, and especially to Governor Sarah Palin.

Stranglehold on the Truth!

2010-03-05T12:05:00.000-08:00

By Phil "The Rock" Rockington
President Sarah Palin Blog Features Editor

Who doesn't love Ted Nugent? Wimps and liberals - which is a redundant way of saying: losers. "Terrible Ted" produced some of the most audaciously awesome music ever, and is now a respected commentator on the direction of our bloated, whining government. His recent piece in the Washington Times (DC's real paper), "NUGENT: Republicans must change to win," is nearly perfect. The same guy that wrote "Cat Scratch Fever" is clearly at the top of the intellectual heap these days, as shown here:

"It's time to clean out the House and the Senate. True change is voting out the entrenched, hopelessly disconnected Fedzillacrats and replacing them with statesmen and women who care about America's future more than their political skins.

While many independents and Republicans are celebrating Mr. Brown's historic victory,I remain extremely suspicious of the Republican Party. Clearly, both the Democratic and Republican parties have been overtly guilty of grotesque and irresponsible pork spending and support of bigger, more unaccountable government. They are both as guilty as possible.
So, while many pundits are wondering what message the president and the left truly got from the Brown victory, we are wondering just what message the Republican Party received from the Massachusetts massacre."

"Fedzilla"! - Damn, Ted, you're killing me! Turn that into a song!

Sarah Palin's Reality Show? Right.

2010-03-04T17:18:00.000-08:00

Talk radio show host Tammy Bruce wrote a piece today about the absurd rumor that Governor Palin will soon be starring in a reality TV show. She explains why that is ridiculous, and give a rule of tumb for evaluating Sarah Palin stories:

"Look, there has not been one ridiculous story/rumor/gossip about Palin and her family, starting with the 2008 campaign, that hasn’t been found false. So here’s the New Rule–if you hear something that sounds stupid, or ridiculous or makes it sound like Sarah Palin has somehow lost her mind, that’s your cue that it’s a false story, engineered to make it sound like, uh, Palin has lost her mind."

Quotes on Saran Palin, February, 2010

2010-02-28T12:36:00.000-08:00

Andrew Bolt: "What continually amazes me is that Leftists such as Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane still pride themselves on their greater moral sense... I thought MacFarlane using his show to brand John McCain and Palin as Nazis was already low... But using a politician’s Down Syndrome child as the butt of your jokes is depraved."

Candance Moore: "Roland Martin went nuclear on former Governor Sarah Palin in a rant clearly inspired by the 'retard' dustup that devolved into a general screed against everything the CNN contributor could think of. Among the lowlights of the piece, Martin: mocked those in 'real America' for being Palin fans; accused her of giving speeches 'full of falsehoods,' and; claimed she was an empty-headed celebrity who wanted nothing more than money. Perhaps this was what Martin had in mind when he encouraged President Obama to go gangsta on Republicans standing in the way. For someone supposedly concerned about partisan bickering, it was rich of Martin to suddenly drop all pretense of being a nonpartisan commentator."

Erick Erickson: "Governor Palin has gone all in with Sean Duffy and Charlie Cook is now saying David Obey is in trouble. Coincidence? Probably not... The refreshing thing about Governor Palin is her willingness to get into contested primaries."

Lynn Sweet: "Several Illinois Republican leaders said if Palin is agreeable -- and used in targeted areas -- she could be a help, especially in the governor's race, where either state Sen. Bill Brady or Sen. Kirk Dillard will face Gov. Quinn. Pat Brady, chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, says Palin 'energizes people...' Palin probably wouldn't play well in Cook and DuPage counties, but, in central and southern Illinois, her stardom could get out the vote."

Elizabeth Hasselbeck (to Evan Bayh): "You sit here and say, 'I'm sick of the partisanship,' yet you throw a cheap Sarah Palin joke in, so I don't really understand or believe you."

Lori Calabrese: "[Ann] Coulter said that since President Obama was elected, 'For the first time in my life, I’m sometimes not proud of my country...' Another Coulter one-liner that received cheers from the packed crowd was when she joked that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has created more jobs than Mr. Obama. 'She’s created at least 11 jobs fact-checking at the AP just for the Palin autobiography,' she said."

Eddie Burke: "Has a Vice-Presidential Candidate's children ever been made fun of and mocked like Sarah Palins have? The answer remains the same: No... Why would they do this? Why is this child a target? Why does this continue? The liberal blogs out there say it's because Sarah has brought 'Trig out on stage.' She has 'exploited Trig.' 'Sarah has used Trig as a political prop.' Are you kidding me? Because a mother is proud of her child and refuses to hide him, they say she's using him? Lets flip the coin and say Sarah never was public with Trig? Then, the 'left' would say Sarah is hiding Trig, and she must be ashamed of him. President Hussein, and his wife march their children out on stage, and people leave them alone. Why? Because conservatives act differently. We are not people who make fun of those who cannot defend themselves."

IOwnTheWorld.com: "I’ve never seen any of [Joy Behar's] show. I don’t know when it’s on. I don’t know where it’s shown. But I see they follow the classic 'fair and balanced' model. A dumb lib host, 2 dumb lib guests, and a conservative guest. Three against one. Too bad Behar effed up. 3 against one is not a fair fight against [Pamela Geller]. Perhaps if they rounded up 20 or 30 more libs one of them could accidentally stumble on an argument that didn’t amount to just saying over and over again – Palin Dumb."

Judie Brown: "Palin is a very public figure and she has ticked off a whole lot of people, not only on the far left but in the Republican Party as well. But the question is, does any of that justify using a special needs child as the foundation for unscrupulous personal attacks? No, not in a civilized country anyway. However, this... latest episode involving Trig Palin and his disability could be the emerging signal that American culture is not to be considered civilized in any way. Perhaps the culture — or at least those who frame the attitudes in the culture — has not been so for many years... Such a disposition suggests that attacks on Down syndrome children are really nothing more than another element in the formula for the American culture's dehumanization of the vulnerable."

Don Surber: "For Peggy Noonan, the health insurance summit was the end of her Obamacrush, but Noonan wrote: 'Speaker Nancy Pelosi was fascinating, though not because of what she said. She has high energy, an air of pleasure in her life, and always looks like a lady, putting in the time and effort it takes for a busy woman to be chic and attractive. She is like someone who walks into politics each day as if she wants to physically adorn it. This I take to be a patriotic act.' Substitute 'Sarah Palin' for 'Speaker Nancy Pelosi' and see if Noonan still agrees. At least the Nooner is no longer puppy-eyed for The Won."

ClarkKent: "I don’t understand this running gag inside the beltway that Palin is dumb because she’s plain spoken and went to a state university, yet Obama is smart because he went to Harvard, and yet no one has ever seen his grades. Or maybe they have and he ain’t as smart as they say he is. What makes Palin smarter and more aware than Obama is the fact that she openly admits her ups and downs as a college student and how she is willing to learn more as a potential political figure. With Obama, he doesn’t have to learn about anything, he already knows everything."

PrairiePundit: "Beverley McPhail complains about Sarah Palin's feminist credentials in a Houston Chronicle op-ed. Depite the fact that she is a female success story, McPhail says she is not a feminist success story. This is primarily because McPhail equates feminism to liberalism and her complaints about Sarah Palin is that she is not a liberal... Progressives are the fascist side of liberal control freak government who continually push an anti freedom agenda."

Brent Baker: "Sarah Palin sends liberals into irrational frenzies of contempt and, in the case of Bill Maher, fits of condescension which drive him to denigrate anyone 'stupid enough' to see anything good in her."

Meg Stapleton, Palin spokesperson is off the bus

2010-02-27T00:39:00.000-08:00

By Mona Goldwater
President Sarah Palin Blog Editor

Earlier this week, Sarah Palin's spokeswoman Meg Stapleton--a close adviser to the former Alaska governor who had an extremely rocky relationship mainstream Republicans and the media--resigned. [1]

Stapleton, who has been Palin's spokesperson since 2006, saying she needed--guess what!?--to spend more time with her husband and young daughter. Politico.com reported Meg Stapleton saying that serving Palin "has been an honor" but that it is time for her to "refocus my priorities."

Ever since August 2008, when Sarah Palin became the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate, Palin insiders, McCain staffers and Republican Palin fans have whispered, and said in public that Stapleton was in way over her head. Insiders say she was unable to handle the evermore byzantine task of advising the Ex-Governor who was suddenly under heavy scrutiny from old time pols, bloggers, pundits, and a press people believed was increasingly out to destroy Palin personally and, especially, politically.

It looks like the Ex-Governor is beginning to clean up her staff for her 2012 Presidential campaign.

[1] From Huffington Post earlier in the week: "The list of those banished by Palin is a long one. Some prominent names include: John Bitney, Curtis Smith, Christopher Clark, Bill McAllister and Frank Bailey -- all of whom were thrown under the proverbial bus during Palin's failed and abbreviated governorship of Alaska. Even her most prominent critic in the Last Frontier, Andree McLeod, was once a member in the Palin inner-sanctum. Palin has left a wide swath of human collateral damage in her wake.

"Now add the inimitable Meg Stapleton to the list."

Sarah Palin presents the facts about the falsehoods at the health care "summit."

2010-02-26T11:23:00.000-08:00

Sarah Palin presents the facts about the falsehoods at the health care "summit."

We should be thankful for yesterday’s 7-hour health care summit – it was helpful in that it allowed Americans to hear the fundamental differences in approaches to meeting health care challenges. On one side, commonsense conservatives laid out fiscally-sound, free market-based, patient-centered solutions; and on the left’s side we heard about the Democrat’s belief that growing government is the only way to meet challenges.

As the saying goes, “Everyone is entitled to his opinion, but not his own facts.” When these “facts” concern one-sixth of our economy and something as important to our personal wellbeing as health care, we’d better make sure they are the real deal.

Please take a look at the compilation below from GOP.com correcting the top five falsehoods from yesterday’s summit. I appreciate their research and revelations compiled here.

- Sarah Palin

TOP FIVE FALSEHOODS

If Democrats Would Start Listening To The American People, They’d Stop Telling Falsehoods

NO ONE’S TALKING ABOUT RECONCILIATION?

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) Claims “No One Has Talked About Reconciliation.” “No one has said -- I read what the President has online -- no one has talked about reconciliation but that's what you folks have talked about ever since that came out, as if it's something that has never been done before.” (“Transcript: White House Health Summit, Morning Session,” Kaiser Health News, 2/25/10)

But Reid Himself Is Talking About Reconciliation. “Harry Reid’s got a gift for hyperbole – and it keeps on giving. The Senate majority leader’s latest gem came in response to hints that Democrats might try to use the fast-track budget ‘reconciliation’ to bypass a Republican filibuster of President Obama’s health care plan. After advising Republicans on Tuesday to ‘stop crying over reconciliation as if it’s never been done before,’ he ticked off a list of legislative feats he contends were accomplished through the filibuster-busting process: ‘Contract [with] America was done with reconciliation. Tax cuts, done with reconciliation. Medicare, done with reconciliation.’” (Jonathan Allen, “Hyperbolic Harry,” Politico’s “Live Pulse” Blog, 2/24/10)

“For Some Bizarre Reason, During His Initial Presentation, Sen. Reid Said That ‘No One Has Talked About Reconciliation,’ … But That's Obviously Not True. Everybody's Talking About It. And A Lot Of Dems Would Be Pretty Upset If They Weren't Talking About It.” (Josh Marshall, Talking Points Memo’s “Editors Blog” Blog, 2/25/10)

“A Number Of Democratic Senators Have Signed A Letter Urging Reid To Use Reconciliation To Pass The Public Option.” (Eric Zimmermann, “Reid: 'No One Has Talked About Reconciliation,’” The Hill’s “Briefing Room” Blog, 2/25/10)

Obama Health Reform Advisor Says The Door Is Open For Reconciliation. “Linda Douglass, the communications director of the White House Office of Health Reform, left reconciliation on the table as an option for passing a health care bill if Democrats and Republicans don't reach consensus during Thursday's summit. … ‘Certainly if that were not to be the case, he would be asking for a simple up or down majority vote and would certainly hope that the Republicans would not try to block that simple up or down majority vote.’” (Carol Lee & Patrick O’Connor, “Douglass Open To Reconciliation,” Politico’s “44” Blog, 2/25/10)

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AREN’T INTERESTED IN RECONCILIATION?

Obama Claims Americans Don’t Care About Reconciliation. “You know, this issue of reconciliation has been brought up. Again I think the American people aren't always all that interested in procedures inside the Senate. I do think they want a vote on how we’re going to move this forward.” (President Obama, Health Care Summit, Washington, DC, 2/25/10)

But 52% Of Americans Don’t Want The Democrats To Use Reconciliation To Pass Their Government-Run Health Care Experiment. “In the survey, Americans by 52%-39% oppose Senate Democrats using the procedure, which allows a bill to pass with a 51-vote majority rather than the 60 votes needed to end debate.” (Susan Page, “Poll: Expectations Low On Health Summit,” USA Today, 2/25/10)

DEM PROPOSALS WILL LOWER PREMIUMS?

President Obama Claimed CBO Determined His Plan Would Lower Premiums. PRESIDENT OBAMA: “It's not factually accurate. Here's what the Congressional Budget Office says. The costs for families for the same type of coverage that they're currently receiving would go down 14 percent to 20 percent.” SEN. LAMAR ALEXANDER (R-TN): “The Congressional Budget Office report says that premiums will rise in the individual market as a result of the Senate bill.” PRESIDENT OBAMA: “No, no, no, no. Let me -- and this is an example of where we've got to get our facts straight.” ALEXANDER: “That's my point.” OBAMA: “Well, exactly, so let me -- let me respond to what you just said, Lamar, because it's not factually accurate. Here's what the Congressional Budget Office says. The costs for families for the same type of coverage that they're currently receiving would go down 14 percent to 20 percent.” (President Obama, Health Care Summit, Washington, DC, 2/25/10)

But Actually, CBO Determined The Bill Would Raise Premiums For Americans Purchasing Insurance Individually. “CBO and JCT estimate that the average premium per person covered (including dependents) for new nongroup policies would be about 10 percent to 13 percent higher in 2016 than the average premium for nongroup coverage in that same year under current law.” (Douglas W. Elmendorf, Letter To Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), 11/30/09)

INCREMENTAL PLANS ARE UNACCEPTABLE?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): “[I]naction And Incrementalism Are Simply Unacceptable.” (Mike Allen, “Will Dr. Obama Go For Plan B-1, Or Plan B-2? -- Dems' Post-Summit Message: POTUS Was 'Thoughtful, Comprehensive,' Rs 'Insulted The Summit' -- New NYT Expose May Finish Gov. Paterson,” Politico’s “Playbook,” 2/25/10)

But 56.4 Percent Of Americans Prefer An Incremental Approach. “Moreover, 56.4 percent of people indicated they would prefer Congress to tackle healthcare reform on a step-by-step basis, not take the comprehensive approach as embodied in the legislation that passed the House and Senate last year but has stalled for the past month.” (Jeffrey Young, “Poll: Most Americans Think Congress Should Start Over On Healthcare,” The Hill’s “Briefing Room” Blog, 2/16/10)

PUBLIC FUNDS WOULDN’T GO TO ABORTION?

Pelosi Said Abortion Wouldn’t Be Funded Under The Plan. “The law of the land is there is no public funding of abortion and there is no public funding of abortion in these bills and I don't want our listeners or viewers to get the wrong impression from what you said.” (Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Health Care Summit, Washington, DC, 2/25/10)

But The Bill Allows Federally Funded Abortions. “Under the new abortion provisions, states can opt out of allowing plans to cover abortion in the insurance exchanges the bill would set up. The exchanges are designed to serve individuals who lack coverage through their jobs, with most receiving federal subsidies to buy insurance. Enrollees in plans that cover abortion procedures would pay with separate checks -- one for abortion, one for any other health-care services.” (Paul Kane, “To Sway Nelson, A Hard-Won Compromise On Abortion Issue,” The Washington Post, 12/20/10)

Pro-Life Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) Calls Obama’s Abortion Language “Unacceptable.” “Unfortunately, the president’s proposal encompasses the senate language allowing public funding of abortion. The senate language is a significant departure from current law and is unacceptable.” (Ben Smith,” Stupak: “Unacceptable,” Politico’s “Live Pulse” Blog, 2/23/10)

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) Says 15 To 20 House Dems Who Can’t Support Obama’s Proposal. “Rep. Bart Stupak, the Michigan Democrat who led efforts to tighten abortion language in the House health care bill, said Wednesday morning there are 15 to 20 House Democrats who cannot support President Barack Obama’s effort to bridge the gap between the House and Senate health plans. … He said well over a dozen House members will likely balk, not just on abortion but on the residual tax on so-called Cadillac health plans, which he said the House had already rejected.” (“Stupak: 15-20 Dems Can’t Back Obama Health Plan,” The Wall Street Journal’s “Washington Wire” Blog, 2/24/10)

Sarah Palin's cogent analysis of the Obama Health Care Plan: "More of the Same, Only More Expensive"

2010-02-25T00:01:00.000-08:00

More of the Same, Only More Expensive

By Sarah Palin

The President can perfume this proposal however he wants, but it still doesn’t pass the smell test.

The President has wrestled control of the health care debate away from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid by finally introducing his own plan. Unfortunately, the White House’s proposal includes everything we found untenable about the old Senate bill – only this one is even more expensive! This is what you might call putting “perfume on a pig.”

What’s in this “new” proposal? It has the unpopular (and arguably unconstitutional) individual mandate that forces people and employers to purchase health insurance – only this time with much harsher fines on employers who choose not to go along with another expensive government mandate. It has provisions that will make employers think twice before expanding their workforce. It has cuts to Medicare Advantage, a popular program which allows seniors to pay a little more money out of pocket for better coverage. And, of course, it still has sweetheart deals – only this time they’ve been extended even more.

We don’t know what the final long-term cost of this will be because the Congressional Budget Office hasn’t had a chance to calculate costs. We do know that the White House recognizes that its proposal will cost tens of billions more over the next ten years than the already-expensive $2.5 trillion Senate bill. The President promised last July that he won’t sign a health care bill if it “adds even one dime to our deficit over the next decade.” But he’s now proposing a health care bill with uncertain fiscal repercussions that could lead to endless deficits.

The rising cost of care has driven the entire health care reform debate. So how does the President’s proposal address this central issue? Price controls. That’s right: Washington, D.C. wants to give a panel of bureaucrats the power to cap insurance premiums and prices. As Michael Cannon of the Cato Institute notes, “artificially limiting premium growth allows the government to curtail spending while leaving the dirty work of withholding medical care to private insurers.” This leads to rationing. Any economist worth his salt – including the White House’s own Larry Summers – will tell you that price controls lead to all sorts of negative unintended consequences. It’s another step towards government controlled health care and away from the real solution: free market, patient-centered reform.

With a government-growing proposal this bad, it’s no wonder the President wants bipartisan cover for it in an election year. Thursday’s health care summit is already being revealed as little more than a photo-op. The Obama administration still denies the existence of the House Republicans’ health care plan that offers alternative solutions to health care challenges – even though the White House website links right to it.

The President’s proposal doesn’t include pro-free market ideas like allowing people to buy insurance across state lines, giving individual buyers the same tax benefits as those who get insurance through their employers, or instituting real medical liability reform. Despite the “kumbaya” rhetoric, Democrats are making plans to ram this bill through the Senate using a partisan procedural maneuver that will bypass the normal bipartisan debate process.

In the meantime, the White House will continue to ignore Republican reform ideas and cast the GOP as the party of no. That’s a hard sell considering that Democrats still hold the majority in the House and Senate. The only real “gridlock” preventing Democrats from doing what they want is the very real threat of America's voice being heard at the ballot box.

The public is clearly opposed to the Democrats’ health care bills. Americans want to scrap these big-government plans and start over with common-sense, incremental reform. Some on the left have urged Democrats to vote for Obamacare because it’s a foot in the door for universal health care. They understand what’s at stake; so should the rest of us.

The President can perfume this proposal however he wants, but it still doesn’t pass the smell test. Washington should listen to Americans now, or Washington will hear us in November.

Jay Leno going rogue with The Ex Governor?

2010-02-24T13:38:00.000-08:00

Kevin Fobbs, founder and president of a policy organization called National Urban Policy Action Council, writes:

Sarah Palin will not only help to re-launch Jay Leno's second stint as The Tonight Show host but will serve as an example for other conservatives and those leaders in the Tea Party Patriot movement that late night can be a welcome home for its supporters and viewers.

There are of course the naysayers on the left coast who believe that Jay Leno's booking of Sarah Palin on The Tonight Show in such a high visibility slot only gives credence and support for a possible positioning of a run for the presidency in 2012 as well as a confirmation, of sorts, of the array of traditional values that she and conservatives hold dear.

Yet what is startling for some is the possibility that again, Sarah Palin is showing that it is the quality of her character and the widespread appeal she has to Americans that confuses her detractors. She appeals to those who live not just in the middle of the country, which has been traditionally considered the heartland, but also reaches into the neighborhoods and homes of residents on both coasts.

Stay tuned!

Obama, enviro-extremist, according to Sarah Palin: "Global Warming – More Like a Snow Job"

2010-02-19T12:37:00.000-08:00

In a recent Facebook posting, the Ex-Governor takes on the President on "global warming." Who better to give an authoritative opinion than a journalist who has lived in Alaska her entire life?

Over the last few months, and even again today, very unsettling revelations have come to light about the “settled science” of man-made global warming. With all of these shoes dropping you’d think every member of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) would be barefoot by now.

One thing after another keeps popping up to further discredit the theory of man-made global warming. The IPCC’s supposedly definitive report proving the theory is riddled with serious errors. The organization has been publicly chastised by everyone from its former chair to the heads of the UK’s biggest funder of climate research and Greenpeace UK. One of the world’s top climate change scientists, Prof. Phil Jones, has conceded that there’s been no significant warming since 1995; that the medieval period may have been warmer than today; and that he’s had trouble even keeping track of raw data crucial to the global warming theory. Yet President Obama still seeks to create a federal office for global warming, and they’re still talking about mandating their cap-and-tax plan that's based on discredited data.

The Obama administration’s environmental extremism also shows up in its aversion to oil and gas development. A true all-of-the-above approach to energy would mean allowing oil and gas explorers to drill here and drill now because America has the proven reserves needed to meet our energy challenges. A new industry study reveals that the federal government's current restrictions on oil and gas drilling in Alaska and off the U.S. coastline will cost us $2.36 trillion through 2029. Think of the millions of U.S. jobs we could create, and how much more secure America would be, if we had a true free market approach to energy independence that allowed us to finally drill!

And though I applaud the President’s newly declared interest in nuclear power, it should be noted that he’s merely following through on loan guarantees authorized during the prior administration. What’s more, while the White House now touts the building of new nuclear power plants, its budget inexplicably calls for cutting funding to the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. A real nuclear energy plan requires a strategy for dealing with nuclear waste storage and recycling.

The man-made global warming hysteria isn’t based on sound science, and the Obama administration’s energy policy isn’t based on sound economics. If the climategate revelations teach us anything, it’s that we need to cool down the rhetoric and fire up our common sense.

One more sure sign something's not right: Sir Elton John says Jesus was gay

Jesus was gay, according to Sir Elton John. The singer makes this controversial claim about the Lord in an interview that is sure to inspire CD burnings, and worse. And he did it in--unbelievable--America's Favorite Magazine, Parade! Please someone, save us from ourselves.

"I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems,” he told Parade. “On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East — you're as good as dead."

"Drill here, drill now": Sarah Congratulates Alaska and Exxon

2010-02-14T23:23:00.000-08:00

Alaska Steps Forward Towards Energy Security
By Ex-Governor Sarah Palin,
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 11:29am from the Sarah Palin Facebook feed

Congratulations are due Exxon and the State of Alaska’s Department of Natural Resources for completing the first development well at Point Thomson in northern Alaska. This is a huge field full of domestic crude, and it’s time to drill for it!

This week we’ve witnessed great progress toward more energy security for Alaska and our entire nation. What began as hefty trucks and hard working men and women heading up an ice road last year, to the commencement of drilling at Point Thomson, this progress has finally led to Exxon’s announcement today of completion of its first development well to produce oil and gas. Our “tough stance” with big oil and perseverance in insisting that Alaska’s resources be developed instead of warehoused while foreign countries are busy developing their oil and gas reserves has paid off to the benefit of everyone involved.

Drill here, drill now... energy independence is a national security issue that can’t be ignored any longer.

Taking up a collection for President Obama

2010-02-13T14:14:00.001-08:00

On my way back to my hotel in Washington, D.C., I was caught in a hellish traffic jam. I asked a cop walking between cars "hey, what's the hold-up?"

The officer said "the President is depressed. He stopped his motorcade and threatened to douse himself with gasoline and torch it. He says no one believes his stories about the war in Afghanistan, or that his stimulus money will help anyone except corporations. His health plan is a joke. Even the press is pling on now, he said. So, anyhow, we're taking up a collection for him."

"How much have you got so far?" I asked.

The officer replied, "About 14 gallons, but I think a lot of folks are still siphoning."

Mountain From A Molehill: Sarah Palin's palm reading

2010-02-08T22:42:00.000-08:00

Citizen Palin may well be indicating here

the approximate size of Chris Matthew's

manhood

Chris Matthews seemed like he was about to blow every valve in his heart when he got ranting about the Sarah Palin "palm reading" controversy. Let's face it folks, Matthews iw beginning to sound every bit as overwraught and hysterical as his station-mate Keith Olberman.

He went into a long rant Monday night. A very long rant. "Come on folks," as Sarah might say..."get over it."

Here is just the prelude to Matthew's invective last night:

Can a palm reader be president? What do we think of kids in school who write stuff on their hands to get through a test? What do we think of a would-be political leader who does it to look like she`s speaking without notes? What do we think of Sarah Palin this weekend answering pre-screened questions from a like-minded audience in Nashville, a tea party convention, and still having to put a cheat sheet on her palm to answer what she calls the basics of her beliefs? How can someone presume to be auditioning for president when they can`t even answer questions they know are coming?

Live from Nashville: The Resurrection begins now. Citizen Palin and The Tea Party begin their march to the White House

2010-02-07T13:18:00.000-08:00

I attended this past weekend’s National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. It was one of the most thrilling events, so far, in my comparitively short life. We are witnessing a new Great Awakening. This time around, it’s America’s politicians and parties. The politicians have become corrupt and out-of-touch. And, we the people, are taking back what we have lost, and what has been stolen from us.

Of course, Sarah Palin mesmerized the crowd with her eloquent attacks on overspending, weak national defense, slack morals, and broken promises. But the heart of her speech was this:

Now, the people are about to reclaim what is rightly theirs. Change is coming, folks, and it started coming this weekend. Hurrah and hosannas! Onward and upward! As Walt Whitman once wrote:

“All power is inherent in the people.”

Animals are Meat: Get Over It!

2010-02-05T15:00:00.000-08:00

For crying out loud! How stupid can liberals be? Apparently, this stupid:

History professor Andrew Hunt has set himself the task of convincing Sarah Palin to turn vegan. An article by Greg Mercer in the February 2 Record says that Hunt, an American-Canadian dual citizen and recent convert to veganism after some 40 years of eating meat, plans to send a new letter every week for a year to the outspokenly carnivorous former Republican vice-presidential candidate. "He plans to write about animal rights, health benefits of veganism, personal anecdotes about his own experience and even recipes. . . . ‘I intend to send them to her very religiously. I intend to persuade her that this is a much better way,’ Hunt said. ’I intend to write them as if I'm sitting at the dinner table with her.’" He plans to eventually publish the letters as a book and donate the proceeds to animal sanctuaries.

I thought I had heard it all when Prince Barack installed the veggie garden in front of the white house, but this takes the cake. As Sarah said in her book, "I love meat. I eat pork chops, thick bacon-burgers, and the seared fatty edges of a medium-well-done steak. But I especially love moose and caribou."

Pass the tempeh - NOT!

We're Digging Ourselves Into a Hole, People. And Sarah Explains How Barack Is Holding The Shovel

2010-02-03T13:05:00.000-08:00

The White House recently announced its pricey Childhood Obesity Initiative to tell us what we should feed our kids. Helpful I’m sure – but most Americans would rather see government focus on other important areas right now. We know what our kids should eat: more healthy food, less junk food. There – we just saved Washington a ton of money by announcing that finding on personal responsibility.

What does demand our full attention is the newly released $3,800,000,000,000 federal budget. The president and Congress have a huge job tackling the problem staring right at us as we look at a budget we obviously can’t afford. America’s freedom and security are endangered as we become beholden to other nations, thanks to ballooning deficits and debt. One congressman just warned that our nation may become insolvent if we don’t make better decisions starting now. As noted in a New York Times article today, unless “miraculous growth” or miraculous unforeseen change is on the horizon, America’s freedom, influence, and security will continue to erode. (Personally, at this point I believe it wouldn’t hurt to ramp up our nation’s humble request for the divine miraculous change and wisdom we’ll need to see us through.)

Getting our arms around this will take all of us working together, making sacrifices, taking more personal responsibility, and sending elected leaders to Washington that we can trust. That’s why some of us may come across as strident in our efforts to call out the White House and Congress. We want to trust you, Washington; we want to work with you, but we cannot stomach some of the things being rammed down our throats. Your actions to pile on more debt make no sense, so we must question your motives and intentions. For instance, there’s just no room for expensive, dangerous, and unsustainable new initiatives like Obamacare, Cap and Tax, and a dramatically expanded federal payroll. These government-growing proposals will obviously cause more problems than they’ll solve. They are just further steps towards insolvency.

Steps towards insolvency are steps away from freedom. They’re steps towards destruction. It’s the reason we ask why we should swallow what's coming out of Washington.

The Wall Street Journal has a brilliant column by Gerald Seib today. It reads in part:

The U.S. government this year will borrow one of every three dollars it spends, with many of those funds coming from foreign countries. That weakens America’s standing and its freedom to act; strengthens China and other world powers including cash-rich oil producers; puts long-term defense spending at risk; undermines the power of the American system as a model for developing countries; and reduces the aura of power that has been a great intangible asset for presidents for more than a century.

“We’ve reached a point now where there’s an intimate link between our solvency and our national security,” says Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and a senior national-security adviser in both the first and second Bush presidencies. “What’s so discouraging is that our domestic politics don’t seem to be up to the challenge. And the whole world is watching.”

In the 21st-century world order, the classic, narrow definition of national-security threats already has expanded in ways that make traditional foreign-policy thinking antiquated. The list of American security concerns now includes dependence on foreign oil and global warming, for example.

Consider just four of the ways that budget deficits also threaten American’s national security:

• They make America vulnerable to foreign pressures.

The U.S. has about $7.5 trillion in accumulated debt held by the public, about half of that in the hands of investors abroad.

Aside from the fact that each American next year will chip in more than $800 just to pay interest on this debt, that situation means America’s government is dependent on the largesse of foreign creditors and subject to the whims of international financial markets. A foreign government, through the actions of its central bank, could put pressure on the U.S. in a way its military never could. Even under a more benign scenario, a debt-ridden U.S. is vulnerable to a run on the American dollar that begins abroad.

Either way, Mr. Haass says, “it reduces our independence.”

• Chinese power is growing as a result.

A lot of the deficit is being financed by China, which is selling the U.S. many billions of dollars of manufactured goods, then lending the accumulated dollars back to the U.S. The IOUs are stacking up in Beijing.

So far this has been a mutually beneficial arrangement, but it is slowly increasing Chinese leverage over American consumers and the American government. At some point, the U.S. may have to bend its policies before either an implicit or explicit Chinese threat to stop the merry-go-round.

Just this weekend, for example, the U.S. angered China by agreeing to sell Taiwan $6.4 billion in arms. At some point, will the U.S. face economic servitude to China that would make such a policy decision impossible?

Please read the rest of Seib’s column here. Our out-of-control spending is weakening our country. We can no longer afford to kick the can down the road to the next generation. We need to have a serious discussion about our spending priorities before it's too late. Commonsense conservatives have a sincere desire to work with the White House on these challenges, and we’re thankful for those in Congress making the offer to help.

Fire Rahm Emanuel Now!

2010-02-02T13:40:00.000-08:00

To quote Three Dog Night:

"How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold"

Rahm Emanuel, the Obama Administration's Chief of Staff scolded liberal activists, calling them, "F—-ing retarded," according to several participants, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

It's hard to disagree with Mr Emanuel's sentiment, but how can he look himself in the mirror after a heartless comment like that?

"Just as we'd be appalled if any public figure of Rahm's stature ever used the 'N-word' or other such inappropriate language, Rahm's slur on all God's children with cognitive and developmental disabilities -- and the people who love them -- is unacceptable, and it's heartbreaking," Palin wrote on her Facebook page. Palin's son has Down's Syndrome.

I wonder what would happen if a conservative used the word "colored" - I bet the liberal media would go crazy!

Hate-monger Mike Murphy signs on to Meg Whitman campaign team

John Hawkins posted an excellent piece at Right Wing News today: "One the worst of McCain's staffers was Mike Murphy, who ripped on Sarah Palin like it was his new job. Where was the loyalty to the campaign? Where was the respect for all the conservatives that thought choosing Sarah Palin was the best move McCain made in the entire campaign?"

"So when Meg Whitman, who's running for governor, chose to hire Mike Murphy, what does it say?"

Yeah. No, no, look, she has a constituency. She'll never be the nominee, I totally agree with David. I agree with Steve Schmidt, it would be actually a disaster if she was the nominee. I do wish my friend Steve felt that a year ago when a lot of people were asking John McCain to put her on the ticket. - Mike Murphy

"It says that she holds Sarah Palin's many fans in the Republican party in absolute contempt. She thinks so little of them and feels their support is so unwanted for her campaign, that she's going to hire a guy like Mike Murphy, who made more of a name for himself trashing Sarah Palin than he did working for the McCain campaign."

Sarah Palin’s Daughter Bristol Sues Levi for Child Support

2010-02-01T00:01:00.000-08:00

Well, it had to happen, didn't it? I mean, Levi has got to be rolling in the cash now that he's posed in Playgirl?

Bristol Palin, the oldest daughter of Ex-Governor Sarah Palin, sued her one time boyfriend/baby daddy, saying he failed to pay enough child support last year. Levi Johnston, she claims, stiffed her for over $18,000 last year. She also seeks monthly payments going forward.

“Bristol has provided nearly 100 percent of the care and custody for the parties’ child,” her lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, said in a complaint. “Bristol has received only limited and sporadic child support payments from Mr. Johnston.”

Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican VP nominee, as you know, is probably running for President in 2012.

Johnston wrote an article in Vanity Fair’s October edition, in which he portrayed the Palins as a self-absorbed family whose Republican Family Values were marginal at best, and likely nonexistent. Is it payback time?

Palin Urges Sarah Palin Urges A GOP-Tea Party Merger

2010-01-31T22:50:00.000-08:00

While many of the most conservative politicians in the country have now weaseled out of next week's National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, the headliner is still planning to show up. You have to wonder if they backed out in fear of being blown our of the water by the Ex-Governor.

Sarah Palin told Fox News on Thursday that, unlike Reps. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), she still intends to speak at the convention, despite the growing controversy over the obscure for-profit entity running the event. Let's face it folks...this little to-do over the sponsor of the massive tea-party gives them a chance to run for the hills.

"Oh, you betcha I'm going to be there," Palin told Greta Van Susteren. "I'm going to speak there because there are people traveling from many miles away to hear what that tea party movement is all about and what that message is that should be received by our politicians in Washington. I'm honored to get to be there."

Citizen Palin will receive $100,000 to deliver the keynote address at the conference. Her fee, she said, "go right back into the cause" as donations "to people and to events, those things that I believe in that will help perpetuate the message, the message being, Government, you have constitutional limits. You better start abiding by them."

Sarah takes on Obama's SOTU speech!

2010-01-28T14:29:00.000-08:00

"I don’t wish to speak too harshly about President Obama..." And then, the Ex-Governor tears him a new one. I hope you're looking forward to HER first State of the Union speech as much as I am.

The Credibility Gap
Today at 2:17pm, from Sarah's FaceBook page

While I don’t wish to speak too harshly about President Obama’s state of the union address, we live in challenging times that call for candor. I call them as I see them, and I hope my frank assessment will be taken as an honest effort to move this conversation forward.

Last night, the president spoke of the “credibility gap” between the public’s expectations of their leaders and what those leaders actually deliver. “Credibility gap” is a good way to describe the chasm between rhetoric and reality in the president’s address. The contradictions seemed endless.

He called for Democrats and Republicans to “work through our differences,” but last year he dismissed any notion of bipartisanship when he smugly told Republicans, “I won.”

He talked like a Washington “outsider,” but he runs Washington! He’s had everything any president could ask for – an overwhelming majority in Congress and a fawning press corps that feels tingles every time he speaks. There was nothing preventing him from pursuing “common sense” solutions all along. He didn’t pursue them because they weren’t his priorities, and he spent his speech blaming Republicans for the problems caused by his own policies.

He dared us to “let him know” if we have a better health care plan, but he refused to allow Republicans in on the negotiations or consider any ideas for real free market and patient-centered reforms. We’ve been “letting him know” our ideas for months from the town halls to the tea parties, but he isn’t interested in listening. Instead he keeps making the nonsensical claim that his massive trillion-dollar health care bill won’t increase the deficit.

Americans are suffering from job losses and lower wages, yet the president practically demanded applause when he mentioned tax cuts, as if allowing people to keep more of their own hard-earned money is an act of noblesse oblige. He claims that he cut taxes, but I must have missed that. I see his policies as paving the way for massive tax increases and inflation, which is the “hidden tax” that most hurts the poor and the elderly living on fixed incomes.

He condemned lobbyists, but his White House is filled with former lobbyists, and this has been a banner year for K Street with his stimulus bill, aka the Lobbyist’s Full Employment Act. He talked about a “deficit of trust” and the need to “do our work in the open,” but he chased away the C-SPAN cameras and cut deals with insurance industry lobbyists behind closed doors.

He spoke of doing what’s best for the next generation and not leaving our children with a “mountain of debt,” but under his watch this year, government spending is up by 22%, and his budget will triple our national debt.

He spoke of a spending freeze, but doesn’t he realize that each new program he’s proposing comes with a new price tag? A spending freeze is a nice idea, but it doesn’t address the root cause of the problem. We need a comprehensive examination of the role of government spending. The president’s deficit commission is little more than a bipartisan tax hike committee, lending political cover to raise taxes without seriously addressing the problem of spending.

He condemned bailouts, but he voted for them and then expanded and extended them. He praised the House’s financial reform bill, but where was Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in that bill? He still hasn’t told us when we’ll be getting out of the auto and the mortgage industries. He praised small businesses, but he’s spent the past year as a friend to big corporations and their lobbyists, who always find a way to make government regulations work in their favor at the expense of their mom & pop competitors.

He praised the effectiveness of his stimulus bill, but then he called for another one – this time cleverly renamed a “jobs bill.” The first stimulus was sold to us as a jobs bill that would keep unemployment under 8%. We now have double digit unemployment with no end in sight. Why should we trust this new “jobs bill”?

He talked about “making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development,” but apparently it’s still too tough for his Interior Secretary to move ahead with Virginia’s offshore oil and gas leases. If they’re dragging their feet on leases, how long will it take them to build “safe, clean nuclear power plants”? Meanwhile, he continued to emphasize “green jobs,” which require massive government subsidies for inefficient technologies that can’t survive on their own in the real world of the free market.

He spoke of supporting young girls in Afghanistan who want to go to school and young women in Iran who courageously protest in the streets, but where were his words of encouragement to the young girls of Afghanistan in his West Point speech? And where was his support for the young women of Iran when they were being gunned down in the streets of Tehran?

Despite speaking for an hour, the president only spent 10% of his speech on foreign policy, and he left us with many unanswered questions. Does he still think trying the 9/11 terrorists in New York is a good idea? Does he still think closing Gitmo is a good idea? Does he still believe in Mirandizing terrorists after the Christmas bomber fiasco? Does he believe we’re in a war against terrorists, or does he think this is just a global crime spree? Does he understand that the first priority of our government is to keep our country safe?

In his address last night, the president once again revealed that there’s a fundamental disconnect between what the American people expect from their government, and what he wants to deliver. He’s still proposing failed top-down big government solutions to our problems. Instead of smaller, smarter government, he’s taken a government that was already too big and supersized it.

Real private sector jobs are created when taxes are low, investment is high, and people are free to go about their business without the heavy hand of government. The president thinks innovation comes from government subsidies. Common sense conservatives know innovation comes from unleashing the creative energy of American entrepreneurs.

Everything seems to be “unexpected” to this administration: unexpected job losses; unexpected housing numbers; unexpected political losses in Massachusetts, Virginia, and New Jersey. True leaders lead best when confronted with the unexpected. But instead of leading us, the president lectured us. He lectured Wall Street; he lectured Main Street; he lectured Congress; he even lectured our Supreme Court Justices.

He criticized politicians who “wage a perpetual campaign,” but he gave a campaign speech instead of a state of the union address. The campaign is over, and President Obama now has something that candidate Obama never had: an actual track record in office. We now can see the failed policies behind the flowery words. If Americans feel as cynical as the president suggests, perhaps it’s because the audacity of his recycled rhetoric no longer inspires hope.

Real leadership requires results. Real hope lies in the ingenuity, generosity, and boundless courage of the American people whose voices are still not being heard in Washington.

Sarah takes on "women's rights" groups

2010-01-26T17:15:00.000-08:00

Once again, The Ex-Governor tackles the tough subjects...on her Facebook page today, she wonders about their double-standards.

Women's Rights Groups: Your Double Standard is Showing
By Sarah Palin

on Facebook, January 26, 2010

Women’s Rights groups, like NOW, commendably call out advertisers and networks for airing sexist and demeaning portrayals of women that lead to young women’s diminished self-esteem and acceptance of roles as mere sexed-up objects.

What a ridiculous situation they’re getting themselves into now with their protest of CBS airing a pro-life ad during the upcoming Super Bowl game. The ad will feature Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mom, and they’ll speak to the sanctity of life and the beautiful potential within every innocent child as Mrs. Tebow acknowledges her choice to give Tim life, despite less than ideal circumstances. Messages like this empower women! This speaks to the strength and commitment and nurturing spirit within women. The message says everything positive and nothing negative about the power of women – and life. Evidently, some women’s rights groups like NOW do not like that message.

NOW is looking at the pro-life issue backwards. Women should be reminded that they are strong enough and smart enough to make decisions that allow for career and educational opportunities while still giving their babies a chance at life. In my own home, my daughter Bristol has also been challenged by pro-abortion “women’s rights” groups who don’t agree with her decision to have her baby, nor do they like the abstinence message which she articulated as her personal commitment. NOW could gain ground and credibility with everyday Americans, thus allowing their pro-women message to be heard by more than just their ardent supporters, if they made wiser decisions regarding which battles to pick. They should call attention to and embrace the Tebows’ message, instead of covertly and overtly disrespecting what Mrs. Tebow, Bristol, and millions of other women have chosen to do (in less than ideal circumstances).

My message to these groups who are inexplicably offended by a pro-woman, pro-child, pro-life message airing during the Super Bowl: please concentrate on empowering women, help with efforts to prevent unexpected pregnancies, stay consistent with your message that for too long women have been made to feel like sex objects in our “modern” culture and that we can expect better in 2010. But don’t let your double standard glare so vividly as to undo some of the good to which you could contribute.

And CBS: just do the right thing. Don’t cave. Have the backbone to run the ad.

To the Tebows: thank you. America is listening. We appreciate you.

Citizen Palin dices up President Obama on the eve of his State Of The Union Address

2010-01-25T22:23:00.000-08:00

By Mona Goldwater

Ex-Governor Palin took on the President tonight in an incisive, hard-hitting, and at times excoriating, post on her Facebook page. You go, girl! Clearly Citizen Palin is perfectly willing to go head to head with the Teleprompter Guy. I'd like to think this is just a glimpse of what we will see in the Obama-Palin debates in the summer and fall of 2012. Keep 'em coming, Governor!

Mr. President: Please Try, "I'm Listening, People," Instead of "Listen Up, People!"

By Sarah Palin

Posted on Facebook, Monday, January 25, 2010 at 6:33pm

We’ve now seen three landslide Republican victories in three states that President Obama carried in 2008. From the tea parties to the town halls to the Massachusetts Miracle, Americans have tried to make their opposition to Washington’s big government agenda loud and clear.

But the President has decided that this current discontent isn’t his fault, it’s ours. He seems to think we just don’t understand what’s going on because he hasn’t had the chance – in his 411 speeches and 158 interviews last year – to adequately explain his policies to us.

Instead of sensibly telling the American people, “I’m listening,” the president is saying, “Listen up, people!” This approach is precisely the reason people are upset with Washington. Americans understand the president’s policies. We just don’t agree with them. But the president has refused to shift focus and come around to the center from the far left. Instead he and his old campaign advisers are regrouping to put a new spin on the same old agenda for 2010.

Americans aren’t looking for more political strategists. We’re looking for real leadership that listens and delivers results. The president’s former campaign adviser is now calling on supporters to “get on the same page,” but what’s on that page? He claims that the president is “resolved” to “keep fighting for” his agenda, but we’ve already seen what that government-growth agenda involves, and frankly the hype doesn’t give us much hope. Real health care reform requires a free market approach; real job creation involves incentivizing, not punishing, the job-creators; reining in the “big banks” means ending bailouts; and stopping “the undue influence of lobbyists” means not cutting deals with them behind closed doors.

Instead of real leadership, though, we’ve had broken promises and backroom deals. One of the worst: candidate Obama promised to go through the federal budget “with a scalpel,” but President Obama spent four times more than his predecessor. Want more? Candidate Obama promised that lobbyists “won’t find a job in my White House,” but President Obama gave at least a dozen former lobbyists top administration jobs. Candidate Obama promised us that we could view his health care deliberations openly and honestly on C-SPAN, but President Obama cut deals behind closed doors with industry lobbyists. Candidate Obama promised us that we would have at least five days to read all major legislation, but President Obama rushed through bills before members of Congress could even read them.

Candidate Obama promised us that his economic stimulus package would be targeted and pork-free, but President Obama signed a stimulus bill loaded with pork and goodies for corporate cronies. Candidate Obama railed against Wall Street greed, but President Obama cozied up to bankers as he extended and expanded their bailouts. Candidate Obama promised us that for “Every dollar that I’ve proposed [in spending], I’ve proposed an additional cut so that it matches.” We’re still waiting to see how President Obama will cut spending to match the trillion he’s spent.

More than anything, Americans were promised jobs, but the president’s stimulus package has failed to stem our rising unemployment rate. Maybe it was unfair to expect that an administration with so little private sector experience would understand something about job creation. How many Obama Administration officials have ever had to make a payroll or craft a business plan in the private sector? How many have had to worry about not having the resources to invest and expand? The president’s big government policies have made hiring a new employee a difficult commitment for employers to make. Ask yourself if the Obama Administration has done anything to make it easier for employers to hire. Have they given us any reassurance that the president will keep taxes low and not impose expensive new regulations?

Candidate Obama over-promised; President Obama has under-delivered. We understand you, Mr. President. We’ve listened to you again and again. We ask that you now listen to the American people.

VICTORY! The gang that couldn't shoot straight misfires again

2010-01-24T12:39:00.000-08:00

"Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to beat Democrat Martha Coakley. The loss was a stunning embarrassment for the White House. It also signaled big political problems for the president's party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide." Read the grim Associated Press story here

click to enlarge

There are rumors afoot that Scott Brown may be the new Republican Man On Horseback, with people--including Matt Drudge--already suggesting he may pull "an Obama" and parlay his time as a state Senator, and a partial term in the United States Senate into a run for the Oval Office. Saran Palin, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Haley Barbour, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Tim Pawlenty, Jeb Bush, John Huntsman, Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum (we thought he was in jail or something!), and John Thune may have a different idea. . .

Cindy McCain comes out in favor of gay rights. Senator McCain? Not so much.

2010-01-23T22:29:00.000-08:00

Cindy McCain, the wife of 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, and their daughter Meghan have posed for photos endorsing pro-gay marriage forces in California. Ms. McCain appears with silver duct tape across her mouth and "NOH8" written on one cheek in a photo published on NOH8's website. NOH8 is a gay rights group opposed to Proposition 8.

John McCain's office released a statement that the Arizona senator respects the views of members of his family but nonetheless remains opposed to gay marriage. If one recent book is any indication, things have probably turned even grimmer at home recently with this family rift...

Sarah's unveils a new 'do on the Oprah show & tells how she is going to reinvigorate journalism

2010-01-22T14:57:00.000-08:00

Sarah Palin flummoxed Oprah Winfrey today with her new hairdo, replete with corkscrew curls...you know, sort of looking like she just stepped out of The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie.

"Look at your hair!" Oprah blurted in the middle of her intro: "What did you do to your hair?" "Do you like it?," Sarah said. "I tried to look like you." "It's kind of cute, but I was just surprised to see you pop up there with the curls. Great. What's the weather like in Wasilla today?

Early opinion is that it's not her best look.

More importantly, the Ex-Governor told Oprah she is going try to to return journalism back to "what it is supposed to be."

"When I studied journalism, we learned all about the who, what, when, where and why of reporting. Just stating the facts. I'll engage in that, kind of ratcheting back down to the simplicity of what journalism should be about: just the basics and letting the people decide what their opinion will be."

Senator John McCain announced Wednesday that Ex-Governor/2008 VP candidate Sarah Palin will join him at both a fundraising event, as well as a rally, in Phoenix on March 26. She will campaign for his re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Wow. After her resignation, and the recent of savaging of Sarah Palin in the book "Game Change" this is stunning. The Republican Establishment keeps trying to marginalize and brush her away, and now, one of their stalwarts desperately needs her help.

McCain recently predicted in an interview that Ex-Governor Palin will be a "major player" in GOP affairs.

It’s War, not a Crime Spree By Sarah Palin

President Obama’s meeting with his top national security advisers does nothing to change the fact that his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed. We are at war with radical Islamic extremists and treating this threat as a law enforcement issue is dangerous for our nation’s security. That’s what happened in the 1990s and we saw the result on September 11, 2001. This is a war on terror not an “overseas contingency operation.” Acts of terrorism are just that, not “man caused disasters.” The system did not work. Abdulmutallab was a child of privilege radicalized and trained by organized jihadists, not an “isolated extremist” who traveled to a land of “crushing poverty.” He is an enemy of the United States, not just another criminal defendant.

It simply makes no sense to treat an al Qaeda-trained operative willing to die in the course of massacring hundreds of people as a common criminal. Reports indicate that Abdulmutallab stated there were many more like him in Yemen but that he stopped talking once he was read his Miranda rights. President Obama’s advisers lamely claim Abdulmutallab might be willing to agree to a plea bargain – pretty doubtful you can cut a deal with a suicide bomber. John Brennan, the President’s top counterterrorism adviser, bizarrely claimed “there are no downsides or upsides” to treating terrorists as enemy combatants. That is absurd. There is a very serious downside to treating them as criminals: terrorists invoke their “right” to remain silent and stop talking. Terrorists don’t tell us where they were trained, what they were trained in, who they were trained by, and who they were trained with. Giving foreign-born, foreign-trained terrorists the right to remain silent does nothing to keep Americans safe from terrorist threats. It only gives our enemies access to courtrooms where they can publicly grandstand, and to defense attorneys who can manipulate the legal process to gain access to classified information.

President Obama was right to change his policy and decide to send no more detainees to Yemen where they can be free to rejoin their war on America. Now he must back off his reckless plan to close Guantanamo, begin treating terrorists as wartime enemies not suspects alleged to have committed crimes, and recognize that the real nature of the terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor.

Sarah Palin, the reluctant warrior (and cultural, ethical, and political hero)

2010-01-13T23:49:00.000-08:00

Former Gov. Sarah Palin yesterday selflessly showed the sacrifice she was willing to make to help this great nation. She described herself as basically a reluctant warrior for freedom in an interview with Fox News host Glenn Beck.

Yes, she said, she did just sign a multi-year deal with Fox that will require her to spend time in New York, but on the other hand, The Ex-Governor said she would “be perfectly happy to go back to Wasilla, Alaska, with my five children and grandson and raise a happy, healthy family and love the great outdoors and do the things we do in Alaska.”

Palin is writing books, and making speeches and appearances because she believes “that in some capacity I can help this great nation.”

“I’m going to be willing to sacrifice and change some things and my lifestyle in order to serve,” she said. “It doesn’t have to mean, though, top dog. That doesn't have to entail having any kind of title.” Don't say that Sarah! We have a growing army out here that is willing to follow you to "the gates of Hell," if we need to. go Go GO!!!

Steven Schmidt unloads another steaming pile of dog-s**t on Sarah Palin

2010-01-10T21:48:00.000-08:00

In an interview reported on Politico.com today, Steven Schmidt--John McCain’s top campaign strategist (he did a bang-up job on that)--said that "Sarah Palin was dishonest as the GOP’s vice-presidential nominee" and that her lies have probably fatally damaged her public image.

“There were numerous instances that she said things that were – that were not accurate that ultimately, the campaign had to deal with,” said Steve Schmidt in an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes. “That opened the door to criticism that she was being untruthful and inaccurate. And I think that is something that continues to this day.”

About the report on the recent ethics investigation of Palin, Schmidt said "she went out and said, you know, ‘This report completely exonerates me,’” Schmidt said. “And in fact, it – it didn’t. You know it’s the equivalent of saying down is up and up is down. It was probably, demonstrably untrue.”

The GOP strategist has previously and frequently criticized the Ex-Governor, but never taken it to the level of questioning her integrity, and never before in the national media. Previously he stuck to leaks and a whispering campaign.

Finally Schmidt admitted “I believe, had she not been on the ticket our margin of defeat would’ve been greater than it would’ve been otherwise.” Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31335.html#ixzz0cHYm4PrY

Contender Sarah Palin's first gig on the 2012 Campaign Trail

2010-01-09T00:01:00.000-08:00

By Mona Goldwater

with Pablo Fanque (research and analysis)

Ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin's decision to attend and give a speech at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans in April, 2010 transmogrifies the gathering into the first beauty contest of the 2012 Presidential campaign. Saran Palin announced Thursday that she would attend. And she will not be attending an earlier Beltway conference (CPAC), mostly due to its far right connections (The John Birch Society, amionf others).

She'll show up at the SRLC as one of eight featured speakers (along with the usual heavy contributors, up-and-comers, and high level party hacks.

Governor Haley Barbour
Governor Mitch Daniels
Governor Bobby Jindal
Governor Tim Pawlenty
Ex-Governor Sarah Palin
Ex-Speaker Newt Gingrich
Ex-Governor Mike Huckabee
Ex-Governor Mitt Romney

So far unannounced (or weaseling) are possible candidates like Ex-Governor Mitt Romney (the GOP establishment pick for President), South Dakota Sen. John Thune, and Ex-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

I bet we also see Ex-Governor Jeb Bush emerge as a contender. He may not be photogenic or possess much of a Q rating, but he's smarter and craftier than most of the field. It wouldn't shock me if Ex-George Pataki floated a trial balloon or two. Why not?! One pol who will not be testing the waters is the man eager to become Ex-Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, alas, was born an Austrian, and who will soon rejoin the movie business. Maybe Ex-VP Dan Quayle will give it one last hurrah, just in case lightning strikes.

"Can I call you Joe?" - an excerpt from Going Rogue

2010-01-08T01:46:00.000-08:00

Numerous media outlets are reporting than an upcoming 60 Minutes feature promises "revelations" from the 2008 presidential campaign. This feature includes a segment with erstwhile McCain campaign flack Steve Schmidt. Yeah, these guys don't seem to hesitate to pile on Sarah Palin (and let's face it these limp McCain staffers have spent the last 14 months trying to slough off blame for their election loss onto Sarah). Don't listen to those brain-damaged ex-McCain staffers. . . read what Sarah Palin wrote in her biography instead.

"During [debate] rehearsals, I accidentally called Randy [Scheunemann who was playing the part of Senator Biden] "Senator O'Biden" -- a slip-of-the-lip combination of Obama and Biden. The blunder struck too often, even tripping up campaign staffers. (Jay Leno later made the same slip on his new talk show, so we were in good company.) We laughed about it but knew that if I said it even once during the debate, it would be disastrous.

Then somebody said, "You ought to just call him Joe."

"Oh, I can't just call him Joe!" I said. Senator Biden was a senior statesman. He'd been sitting in a U.S. Senate seat since I was nine years old. I believed calling him by his first name without his permission would be disrespectful.

Randy seemed to read my thoughts and offered a solution. "In every debate, you cross the stage and shake hands with your opponent," he said. "When you shake hands, just ask him for permission to call him Joe. He's certainly going to say yes, because he's a gentleman."

So that's what we decided I would do. We had no idea my mic would already be hot when I walked onstage, crossed over to his turf, and said, "Can I call you Joe?"

The "expert" postdebate analysis was that my question was a cleverly devised strategy to disarm my opponent. Yeah, right. [Going Rogue page 289]"

Sarah Palin is a direct descendant of Wild Bill Hickok? That's what the Omaha World Herald seems to be reporting, saying that the lineage is easily traceable to the frontier rogue. No question they both share the fire. Insiders in the Palin camp smirk and say, "no comment." History will may be the keeper of this mystery, but I suspect Aces and Eights will be dealt to anyone that stands in her way to DC.

God bless.

Sarah out making money for the Republicans

2010-01-05T00:04:00.000-08:00

Although many Republicans seem to kick sand in her face, the GOP doesn't mind bringing in Sarah Palin when they need to raise some dough!

I was just invited on Facebook to a fundraiser in Central Arkansas (Clinton Country!) on February 16th. The event will be held at the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock at 6:00 that night. More details to follow soon. The dinner will cost $175 a plate to raise money for the Republican Party.

It's curious the GOP doesn't bring in Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, or even George Bush. Why? Because Sarah can fill the seats! It looks like they're starting to take her seriously.

Sarah and Hillary Clinton top the list of most admired women

"Americans have decided on the women they admire the most -- and their picks might surprise some."

I don't think Sarah and Hillary have much at all in common, other than both being authors of million seller books. What they do have in common is a lot of love from the public. And, as Sarah begins the slow slog to the White House, as Neil Young once wrote, "It's gonna take a lot of love."

According to a survey just released by USA Today and the Gallup Poll, 62 year old Clinton just edged out out Palin, 45, as the most admired female -- 16% to 15% in a poll of 1,025 American adults.

Congressman says Palin will run and win Iowa Caucuses!

2009-12-31T17:52:00.000-08:00

According to an article in The Huffington Post, Sarah Palin will run!

An Iowa congressman, U.S. Rep. Steve King, says he "thinks former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will seek the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 and that she's among a few people who could win the state's leadoff caucuses." King even went on to mention that he thought she was now in a much stronger position to run than had she remained as Governor of Alaska.

Point<--->Counterpoint: Levi Johnston Vs. Ex-Governor Sarah Palin in a Quote-off

2009-12-30T18:35:00.000-08:00

Sarah: "Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies," she says. "Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention."

Levi: Levi Johnston recently told CBS's The Early Show that Palin, the former Republican candidate for vice-president, has done a whole lot worse, saying he knows things that could get her "in trouble and could hurt her."

Sarah: “I hear he goes by the name Rikki Hollywood now,” Sarah told Oprah about the father of her grandson Tripp. “I call that porn,” Levi's Baby Mama's Mama said. “A bit heartbreaking to see the road he’s on right now.”

Levi: "Even before she was nominated, there wasn't much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn't cook, Todd doesn't cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school."

Sarah: "We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family. We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied."

Levi: "Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret—nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant. She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him. That way, she said, Bristol and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging—she wouldn’t give up. She would say, “So, are you gonna let me adopt him?” We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid."

Sarah: ""I think he needs to know that he is loved and he has the most beautiful child" -- Palin's grandson -- "and this can all work out for good. It really can. We don't have to keep going down this road of controversy and drama all the time. We're not really into the drama. We don't really like that."

Levi: "Sarah was sad for a while. She walked around the house pouting. I had assumed she was going to go back to her job as governor, but a week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make “triple the money.” It was, to her, “not as hard.” She would blatantly say, “I want to just take this money and quit being governor.” She started to say it frequently, but she didn’t know how to do it. When she came home from work, it seemed like she was more and more stressed out."

Breaking: John Kerry forms team for POTUS run in 2012

2009-12-29T17:56:00.000-08:00

The lid is about to blow off of this one. The Washington Times is sitting on the story until the news cycle gives it maximum exposure - John Kerry is throwing his hat in the ring for 2012. Contacts with the Palin camp are delighted to see the Dems scrambling.

Happy New Year, and God Bless.

Sarah on the Tonight Show

2009-12-28T15:55:00.000-08:00

As you probably know, Sarah Palin recently skewered William Shatner on the Tonight Show. The former Captain Kirk has been reading excerpts from her book Going Rogue (out of context of course), and the Ex-Governor evened the score.

Gov. Sarah Palin, with her son, Trig, by her side meets Conan O’Brien before her appearance in a skit on that show.

Why Sarah Palin stepping down was brilliant!

2009-12-25T17:08:00.000-08:00

Peter Andrew's take on the Conservative American website on why Sarah Palin stepping down was a brilliant move (indeed it was):

1.She can increase her income. While governor, Palin cannot accept payment for writing a book about herself or the 2008 campaign. This move allows her to likely quadruple her income by finishing the book, taking payment for that, then promoting the book with a book tour and making even more money off the sale of each book.

2.She can soon speak out more. ConservativeAmerican.org got a message from SarahPAC spokeswoman Meg Stapleton just the other day. Here’s what it said, “Remember that she is working on a book and cannot speak to previous works or the future of the Party - only to Alaska issues. Thanks! Meg.” To help sell her book, those publishing it are limiting her ability to speak about certain topics. By finishing the book, she can be MORE of a player on the national political scene, not less. Not sure why all the so-called political strategists and university poly sci profs the media talks with can’t figure that out.

3. She won’t be limited by the state of Alaska. Alaska has some very, very strict rules about the use of state assets (including human resources) for non-state business. Everytime she has taken a trip , someone shouts out that she is breaking the rules and files another ethics complaint. You don’t hear her jumping in to a national topic unless it relates to Alaska and this is part of the reason. She has to be so very careful she can hardly move from one room to another without justifying it! The liberals would love nothing more than to catch her breaking one of the rules so they can eliminate President Obama’s main 2012 competition. This move allows her freedom she does not have now.

4. She’s Big News for a Week Now. As families get together for a long holiday weekend, Sarah Palin will be the discussion. The big shots in the left wing press will want their chance to attack Palin too, so this will be news on their shows through at least next Wednesday. The more the left hates her, the more Conservative Americans like her. The hatred and stupidity they will spew for the next week will only boost Palin’s popularity.

5. She Can Raise Big Money through SarahPAC. If SarahPAC wants to raise money nationally now, the fundraising letter has to come from Meg Stapleton or someone else on the Palin staff. The most recent one that went out featured Stapleton asking for the help and a letter from Sarah Palin about…Alaska. That’s all she can talk about! Hard to raise money that way. Now she can accept paid speaking engagements, attend fundraisers and start assembling the 2012 warchest! Anyone who is part of the Official Sarah Palin Fan Club will be excited about this move. She can get going now! Here comes Sarah!

6.Feminist Support will Grow. There’s only so much women should take before they get upset about the awful sexism on parade (even from other women like Cokie Roberts) when it comes to Sarah Palin. It will be spewing uncontrollably this week. Moderates and even democrats will get tired of this and defend Sarah Palin, as Andrea Tantaros has done in the past, from these stone age criticisms.

7. This Shows Washington Elite Republicans she is Loyal. By getting out now, it allows the republican lieutenant governor to become governor and run as incumbent for reelection in 2010. If she had stayed and run for reelection, the national socialist-democrats would pour everything in to defeating her. This way she doesn’t have to face any of that.

8.She saves Alaska Money. In recent months, the state of Alaska has spent nearly $300,000 defending the governor from FALSE claims of ethical violations. Despite 13 attempts, Sarah Palin has never been found guilty of any wrongdoing. Still this costs the state money that can be better spent on other things.

9.This demonstrates creativity. All of the “stunned” experts, university types and insiders know how things are done. They are shouting that this is not how things are done. There’s more than one way to get things done. Palin shows creativity, intelligence and leadership with this move. I think it is great that she took the so-called experts (who lost the election for us by putting Palin in a McCainiac Cage) off guard! She has shown that she can with without the good ol’ boys network before. Go Sarah, Go!

10.The move reduces Palin’s personal expenses. The Palin family has racked up nearly half a million dollars in personal legal bills. The huge expense comes from defending herself against the phony attacks made up by Obama 2012. Team Obama is so afraid of this woman they are stopping at nothing to personally attack her and ruin her. We need to rally behind her.

Good evening and hello!

2009-12-23T19:30:00.000-08:00

With the warm rush of Christmas coursing through America's veins, it's sad to note that Levi Johnston's mother, Sherry, is in shackles.

According to the liberal newspaper, the "New York Times":

Johnston, 43, was sentenced last month on her guilty plea in August to one count of possession with intent to deliver the painkiller OxyContin. Five other felony counts were dropped.

Levi, has been doing other things lately, and is likely to continue that path.

God bless.

Going Rogue, not Going Rouge!!!

2009-12-22T10:42:00.000-08:00

click to enlarge

Going Rouge is a shamelessly slanted liberal assemblage of half-baked essays and thinly veiled, libelous attacks on that great American, Sarah Palin. It is laughably described in the Huffington Post as "An alternative, liberal judgment of Sarah Palin's legacy."

"Going Rouge: An American Nightmare" was conceived by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed, liberal editors at the progressive (!!) magazine The Nation. The books have nearly similar titles, and similar covers, both showing the Ex-Governor smiling into the distance.

"The cover is a parody of hers and it certainly takes some shots and mocks Sarah Palin, but it is a very serious book and the book itself is not a parody," Kim told POLITICO.

I agree with them on that point. This is not a parody at all, but a book of cheap shots, personal attacks, and hysterical caterwauling by the high-strung liberal press. As Going Rogue surfs along the best-seller lists, Going Rouge is, of course, languishing in well-deserved obscurity.

In a better world, the authors would be jailed, and just maybe sent to Guantanamo.

Governor Tim Pawlenty: "Sarah Palin is a political rock star"

2009-12-21T17:39:00.000-08:00

Speaking with the notoriously liberal journalist, Howard Fineman of Newsweek (a frequent TV buddy of Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman), Governor Pawlenty hedged his bets on whether or not he would run for President. But, he was not shy about heaping praise on the heroic Ex Governor of Alaska!

"I think she is a political rock star," Pawlenty tells Fineman. "She got enormous attention and support from a big chunk of the country as the ice presidential candidate. And she has sustained that. In part, it's because she has tapped into a kind of base-level feeling about the role and scope of government. She speaks bluntly and plainly in ways people can understand."

Costco hid their tomatoes to save Sarah Palin from another volley

2009-12-18T08:56:00.000-08:00

A Costco customer--Helen Rappaport--told The Salt Lake Tribune that she couldn't find tomatoes at a warehouse in Salt Lake City last week because, they were taken off shelves while Sarah Palin visited during her book tour.

"It turns out that Palin had been pelted with a tomato at an earlier stop on her book tour and the management at the Costco was determined it wouldn't happen here," the 'paper said. "The manager told an employee to go into the storage area and get Rappaport some tomatoes, which he gave her for free."

The Associated Press reported earlier in the week that a man was arrested for throwing a tomato at Palin at the Mall of America in Minnesota. He failed to hit the future President. As we mentioned earlier, the biggest crime here is that the law does not permit giving him the death penalty!

Sarah rips into Huck

Sarah Palin says former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made a “horrible decision” nine years ago in granting clemency to a man suspected of killing four police officers two weeks ago in Washington state.

“It was a bad decision obviously, but my heart goes out to Huckabee,” the former Alaska governor said of her potential 2012 GOP presidential rival during an interview Monday with conservative radio host Lars Larson. “I love him, and I feel bad for him to be in this position. But I feel even worse for the victims’ families in this situation.”

In 2000, Huckabee granted clemency to Maurice Clemmons, the suspected killer of four police officers. He had served 11 years in prison after being sentenced as a teenager to 108 years on burglary, theft and other felony charges. Clemmons was shot and killed by a police officer investigating a stolen car.

Huckabee defends his decision, arguing that while he clearly would not have granted the man clemency with knowledge of what would happen, if presented the same evidence today he’d probably take similar action.

As governor of Alaska, she said she had never been in the position of having to grant a prisoner clemency, adding that “most Alaskans know me well enough to know that I don’t have a whole lot of mercy for the bad guys.”

“I’m on the good guys’s side,” she said.
