Sarah Palin | FOX Sunday 2/7/2010 - On endorsing Rand/Ron Paul
2:00 for Sarah's comments about endorsing Rand (Ron) Paul.
This is being posted for discussion. No doubt, it is somewhat painful to watch this woman speak! I just think we need a post that doesn't frame this moment as a "hijacking." Now isn't the time to throw up your hands, pack up your toys and run away--just when things are about to get interesting.
Before commenting, shame on you if you haven't read Michael's post

Sarah Palin's endorsement of Rand Paul is a huge boost for the Liberty movement because in one fell swoop, millions of Sarah Palin fans are exposed to our Message.
Furthermore, our Message is given instant credibility among them by her implicit support. Regardless of what you think of Palin or her fans, this exposure is like randomly spreading a few million new seeds of Liberty across the country. Some of them are going to catch and start to grow - just as they grew in you and I. We saw how contagious that growth can be during Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign, and for a simple reason: Freedom is popular. It seems that most people just don't understand it quite yet. It is not something they teach in the government controlled schools.
Some people seem to think that Rand somehow "sold out" by aligning with Palin. But if so, what did he sell? Politics is an interesting game, and to show you just how interesting, lets look at this from Sarah's point of view:
At the moment, there is no question that Palin is a media darling. But we all know how fickle the media is and her current massive popularity has some faddish qualities to it. Does her star have staying power, or is she just a shooting star? She has a best selling book, but it won't stay at the top of the list forever, and she no longer holds public office. She could easily be here today, gone tomorrow. She knows this, and knows she needs to stay relevant.
Enter the Kentucky Senate Race. Even without Palin, this is one of the most exciting races in the country. And, knock on wood, at this point, it looks like Rand is going to win. With the work ethic he's inherited from his father, Rand is already making Trey Grayson look like Kentucky's version of Martha Coakley.
In my opinion, Palin's endorsement of Rand means that she already thinks he's going to win and she doesn't want to be left behind. She's probably kicking herself for not having endorsed Scott Brown. Palin wouldn't take the political risk of endorsing a loser, and a Rand victory gives her the ability to appear to the Establishment GOP, and the media, that she's got vision, that she has her finger on the pulse of the grassroots, that she's a "risk taker" for endorsing an outsider, that she can "pick winners," even that she's a 'kingmaker' (if she can get away with it)...

Give her break on this one...but just this one...
Yes, we have a Republic, which means that the Constitution provides the law of the land; however, the Republic operates by means of majority-rule, representative democracy. ;-)
http://http://synocracy.wordpress.com/2009/11/22/what-is-syn...
All in all
it comes off as she's going down the line to endorse candidates that are likely to win. She wants to appear as if her endorsements had something to do with their victory, which won't be hard to pull off since that's the reason the MSM will give.
I know this is a good thing for the Rand campaign.
But I just cant help to think why its is so important why we need a Govenor Medina because she hasnt been compromised.
The Texas Gubernatorial Race, the Most Important in the Nation!
Not only has Medina not been compromised, she has some very unusual qualities that are becoming increasingly polished in her interaction with the public. Witness the two recent debates, which she won handily according to all accounts, except in the opinion of her opponents. And, also read this analysis if you have not already done so.

She's cute. But...
She's a war monger!!! so the mil. ind. com. must adore her. this is of concern to me.
In truth,
Yes, it is a concern.
And her looks have nothing to do with it.

Sarah Palin
1. She is likable.
2. She has a large following.
3. She may or may not understand what the people plan
that are (using) fame have in mind for her.
4. I have not yet become convinced that she is (or
wants to be) a knowing (or unknowing) pawn of the
establishment.
5. Whither she knows it or not I do feel like she and
Glenn Beck are being "used" by the establishment to
gather the wandering lost soles that are unsatisfied
with the elected officials and bring them back into
the fold.
6. The Texas Governor has attended the Bilderberger
meeting and I think he is being prepared to be the
next President.
7. She is also helping McCain in his re-election bid.
8. I she really helping us not?
Liberty is our campaigns gift to the world it is our manifest destiny.
Freedom is a movement who's time has come. Our campaign will lead world wide freedom.
Great Interview
She has the same dis-jointed speech pattern as Ron Paul, and, of course, quotes him verbatim several times. Smooth-talkers make me gag.
I don't think her understanding is very deep, yet, but someday she might get there.
Of course, I assume she'll never be president, so that makes me more tolerant. She's another voice for limited federal government and that's got to be good.
Except for Ron Paul, name another former presidential candidate who is out there fighting for following the Constitution (or the GOP platform).
IMissLiberty
Another ? The only is Ron Paul
Palin was a VP candidate, and seems to think that the patriot act, the military commissions act, and gitmo are constitutional.
Exactly how is she for small government ? She hates welfare recipients, but loves government military contractor aka corporate welfare recipients.
Sarah Palin is a joke.
Not only that, she is dangerous.

Seriously....
... we desperately need a cure for stupidity. Palin and her devotees should volunteer for a clinical study.
Now she wants Obama to declare war against Iran. Has she ever read the Constitution? God help us!

We have a republic
"We have a representative form of government in our democracy" Does anyone here know what that means? I think this woman has heard "Sarah, sit down and shutup" a few times in her life. It's a republic ma'am , if you can keep it. Benjamin Franklin
Oh sure! She's just dandy!
How about this quote from Palin(about Obama)Sunday night on Fox News.
I'm sure you'll like it.
"Say he played, and I got this from [Pat] Buchanan, reading one of his columns the other day, say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran, or decided to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel, which I would like him to do. But that changes the dynamics in what we can assume is going to happen between now and three years." Mrs. Palin told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
Now THAT'S the type of thing that we really want to be associated with us, RIGHT?????
Puhleeeeeze!
They don't get any worse.
She's stupid, AND she's a tool.
And she's not even popular. She's a "media creation". There's NO indication AT ALL, that she has ANY following, outside of the drooling neocons that think she has nice legs.
She's been "trotted-out" by the neocon war tribe to display herself in her "naughty librarian" outfit, and be a Pied Piper to a bunch of mouth-breathers who pay more attention to her sex than to any policy positions. And of course, the raised testosterone levels that she elicits in the slack-jawed lemmings then helps lead them easily to the support of the "war imperative" that she wants them to support.
The very BEST that could be said about her is that she is decent-looking, and that might help distract from the tattered policies of an utterly failed and repudiated Neocon Republican Party that is DESPERATE to pull out any trick to get themselves back into power, and continue their world domination scheme for the glory of Israel.
Which is exactly what the neocon cretins are hoping for.
And that's putting it "mildly".
But she is in the media fastlane right now
And the attention she brings is good. It's like drafting in Nascar.
So what if she is ultimately going to be savaged by the media, and be thrown away like yesterday's trash. When that happens, RP, with a real intellect, will pass her by, with even more supporters than now.
I think that the attention is a very good thing.
That said, I share some of the same feelings - I don't like Palin. I am much more comfortable in the role of an ideological rebel, but I don't think that is often a winning role in politics.
excellent perspective on the
excellent perspective on the Palin endorsement. I hope and pray for a big year for liberty.
Palin is from Idaho
One of our big "victories" here was getting rid of a Pharma-owned state chairman. Unfortunately, we were newbies and got snookered, and we helped put IN the chair, a Jesuit-trained attorney.
Now, the new guy played really nice with me for a while, came to my events, we chatted on the phone and exchanged emails a lot. When they announced Palin, he came rushing over to my husband and I, nearly drooling... "Do you guys like Palin?"
One of those "ah-hah" moments happened for both of us - he was WAYYYYY to eager for us to like Palin, and we told him "No, she is a warmonger" and he was never nice to me again.
Just a little story from Idaho, do with it what you will.
Edit after listening to the end - mistake.
OMG - She thinks getting pregnant by her husband at an inconvenient time, and a sick child are the worst case scenario.
How about this... raped by your step father?
How about pregnant by the wife beating, alcoholic, abusive bastard that you FINALLY walked away from last week, and now are living in your car?
How about just found out you are pregnant AND just found out your older child is terminally ill with a disease that will require ALL of your time and attention?
How about the couple who both have genetic disorders and they have agreed "no children" but the contraception fails? What if they talk it over and still feel like they do not want to bring a child here that will suffer the way they did?
Self righteous bitch does not even appreciate that the "fleeting thought" itself will be a crime if she gets her way.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
Sempiternal - I totally agree with you about Chris Wallace.
I can't stand the sight of him.
He hates Ron Paul and the entire liberty movement.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

"He wants to repeal the patriot act..".
Uh.. yeah.. how is that a bad thing? lol
Fiddling While Texas Burns
Yeah, that's right, you folks are definitely fiddling while Texas burns. All other Liberty candidate races pale in comparison with the Texas Gubernatorial Race, where Debra Medina has a real chance to blow two nationally known Wranglers out of their saddles. The Debra Medina campaign is growing red hot. Go to her Facebook page, where her friends are rapidly gaining on the friends of Rick Perry.

Go to this post which is a tour de force for removing Debra's guilt by association with the Secessionist Movement.
http://freedomfollies.blogspot.com/2010/02/debra-medina-hear...
Of Course
Palin endorses Rick (double the debt) Perry instead of Medina. What a shill. Fly your flag upside down because we are in trouble here.
CFR John McCain's running mate
in his run against CFR Obama. Think McCain chose her? Think McCain was the man in charge? I don't. So who was?
For those who continue to get disappointed or confused by the likes of Palin, Glenn Beck, MSM etc, please consider watching a lecture on how the system really works and who really runs the show. You might get a new perspective on things and then we might all spend less time putting energy into things that only bring disappointment in the end. I think our movement will never reach its true potential and power until we know and better understand our enemy, and how they work.

we are the Remnant
I guess this could get interesting
but, still, I watched her entire speech to the "Tea Party" Convention and the Q&A that followed and I didn't think she said much. I feel the same way about Scott Brown. (I'm curious how long it will take him to cosponsor S604). I don't get why tons of people get so excited about candidates like these and not about someone like Ron Paul with some of the "shocking" things he said during the presidential debates of the 2008 campaign. Maybe it's because people like Ron Paul and Peter Schiff, etc will actually DO something concrete and people more just want to hear fancy words about how they want things to be without really considering the steps that must be taken to get there.
Anyway, here's one person's opinion on Sarah Palin's endorsement of Rand:

Thanks for the link!
Maybe she will wake up to understand the Christian concept of 'just war' which Ron Paul understands. sounds like she is at least hearing the alarm.
But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers
There is no difference between an authoritarian government from the right or the left...F. A.Schaeffer
I hate it when people say
"shame on you". It has the opposite effect than intended.
For me, it's more than "somewhat" painful to listen to her speak. But that's just me.
The Tea Party has almost
The Tea Party has almost NOTHING in common with the national Republican Party, as long as it's treasonous leadership continues to subvert our Constitution, swindle our people, bog us down in undeclared wars, and work for globalist special interests and sell out the American people.
Did I miss anything? Who cares what Palin, or Gingrich, or any of the Republican leadership says. They can't control us. And we certainly don't have to follow their false leadership.
Palin Called Us a Democracy in this video.
And, she clearly expressed that she is a Neocon, supported by Neocon Bill Kristol.
Or maybe she's just ignorant like most people...
Chris Wallace, the interviewer makes me sick! I'd like to toss him in the street.
Ron Paul's Convention Speech
CHRIS WALLACE IS A RON PAUL HATER.
Wallace bashed Dr. Paul during the campaign and was instrumental in keeping him out of the FOX debates.
I can not hack this rotted shyster.
This is why Wallace baited Palin here about here supporting Rand Paul. But she somewhat Judased Rand Paul by saying he is not certainly not a perfect candidate.
She's not brave enough to stand up for her convictions--
Or maybe she really doesn't have any convictions.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul
I commend her for her choice of life
However, to the points of being both pro-war and fiscally conservative she is talking out of both sides of her mouth.
She needs to choose which one she is for:
a) Endless War
b) A Solvent Government absent of debt
You can't have it both ways.
This is just more proof that Fox News hires ACTORS rather than investigative journalists.
The ACTOR is proping her up rather than asking hard questions. He completely lets her slide by without calling her out.
Its like he's giving her an A+ when she deserves at best a B-. So what is in it for the ACTOR? (Question is for Rupert Murdock)
Its all wrong when the news corporations are manufacturing the news rather than searching it out.
This is manufactured news at its finest.
Fox News Sucks.

Leave Us Alone and Bring the Troops Home
I have always tried to be objective
I've always tried to be objective and do not like the negativity that sometimes comes from people in our movement. (although I can understand why people do lash out because they are so frustrated)
But I do have to admit that it is a little painful to listen to Palin. I don't judge her intentions but she is a little clueless when it comes to the constitution and other founding documents. She says, "the terrorists aren't worthy of OUR rights as Americans". What part of "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" is she missing? We don't have rights because we are Americans. We have them because we were born with them.
Anyway. I hope she figures it out. I'm happy Rand Paul got her endorsement. It will bring more people to the ideas of Freedom and the TRUTH about freedom (not Ron or Rand or anyone) will set them free.
Again, I just hope we can be kind, understanding, and patient in our disposition so we don't scare them away before they have a chance to understand freedom and why it needs to be preserved in all areas and on all degrees.
