Stranglehold on the Truth!

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!

Meg Stapleton, Palin spokesperson is off the bus

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."

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

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.

Together Again: Senator John McCain and Ex-Governor Sarah Palin

click to enlarge

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

"She's got it!" The appeal of Sarah Palin to men

By Mona Goldwater, Editor
President Sarah Palin blog

National Review editor Rich Lowry wrote last year of his reaction to Palin's performance in the vice presidential debate.

"I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, 'Hey, I think she just winked at me.' And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it."
