Sarah Palin on Ron Paul:
"Keep preaching to Americans, Keep educating us about the problems and our economic woes caused by government overgrowth"
"He was given 89 seconds to respond to questions total, that's unfair"

takin a look at her FB page
the woman has no clue 'cept where her neocon republican usurpers [todays powerful and monied] have taken her.
In her own element she's a mama bear, true; in world politics, she's hopelessly a 'vulnerable'-for rent politician. Had someone say RP, gotten to her before the Neocons- s..t, who knows? Kinda like talking about a good but wayward child. Another American tragedy.
She was never qualified to be President nor VP, but neither was Clinton/Gore, Bush Shrub/Cheney, Obama/Biden, Cain, Gingrich, Perry, Romney, Santurom. Bachmann, etc.
If Palin ever gets usurped by a nonrental political group-look out-

Maybe she woke up after the GOP leadership threw her under the bus.
Like so many out there, I've
Like so many out there, I've not been sure of Sara Palin's intentions. Does she truly just want what's best for her country or is she just trying to get rich now? Her inexperience and naivete certainly don't help in that assessment. She's had plenty of time to study all the issues now and her endorsement this cycle will tell the tale. If she or DeMint endorse anyone else, I'm done with both of 'em.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
Why does it have to be "or"?
What's incompatible about Sara trying to get rich AND doing what's best for the country. Or even getting rich BY doing what's best for the country? Haven't you read Rand?
Granted her idea of what is best for the country may not be the same as ours. But she seems to be closer to what we think is the right track than many others. And she seems to be learning more as she goes along and making better decisionsthey . (For starters she's switched from using the government juggernaut to tell others what to do into using the media to persuade others what to do. Good move IMHO. And gives her an incentive to learn more and learn fast.)
Even when she's endorsed others than we'd prefer she doesn't seem to have done so out of malice. And she's already endorsed many of Ron's positons, along with Rand in his election.
So let's cut her some slack. The drill is not to require people to be completely pure and politically correct right from the start. It's to convince them, step by step, of the rightness of the various PARTS of the ideology of liberty. Then they'll hang around and keep getting better, rather than being repelled and driven into the camps of our opponents.

I said is she JUST trying to get rich. I have no problem with her making a lot of money. And I AM cutting her some slack. If she does not endorse anyone, that's ok. But again, if she endorses some POS, then yes, I'm done listening to her.
This has happened before
Is she positioning herself for a second VP run? Hoping Ron will tap her for it? Hmmmmm?
Rights are like muscles; you must exercise them to keep them fit, or they will atrophy and die.
No...
... this is a good thing. We just saw a HUGE media rouse. It started by the word getting out she was going to endorse, attracting her base. Greta participated by putting up a bogus poll, therefore attracting Paul supporters. I saw the entire interview, she critiqued the top 4 in Iowa... rather harshly, too.... EXCEPT Ron Paul. She had glowing words for him in comparison. Most of her supporters (some 3 million +) are waiting for her decision, the other half are going for Cain or Gingrich. She is, imho, paving the way for her base to check out Ron Paul. Right now her base would be really confused if she went all out for Paul now, but I believe she is behind him and paving the way, slow and steady.
Don't Tread on Me
I'd be surprised if she endorsed Ron.
The ONLY reason I can give to support such an endorsement is that she did in fact endorse Rand Paul.
But she chose to run with one of the most evil, criminal, freedom-destroying minds in Congress- McCain.
Perhaps she's just wanted to make some money, and hasn't really sold out. Perhaps the PTB knew Obama would win, so they weren't taking a risk by bringing Palin on board?
I hope she hasn't sold out to the devil like almost all other politicians. I pray she will join the true freedom fighters.

Palin
I want this endorsement.
With Palin's endorsement and the continued efforts of all us phone bankers, we WILL win in Iowa.
I have some policy
I have some policy disagreements with her but to the people we need to win over in the Republican Primary, this Woman's endorsement is gold! Thank you Sarah Palin.
"Ron Paul shouldn't whine about the unfairness."
He never did whine about this or anything else. She's probably just babbling with no ill intentions, but someone who doesn't know the facts might think Ron Paul has been whining and that's what she's remarking on.
It's insulting, how blatantly media figures lie about their reasons for marginalizing Ron Paul. As if we are all amnesiacs and can't remember when Ron Paul won the CPAC poll and got no credit, or when he almost tied Bachmann in Iowa and NOTHING was said about it, or when all the other polls showing Ron Paul on top were canceled or ignored.
Psst...your AGENDA is showing!
"Thank you for NOT running, Sarah!" Imagine hearing her voice
"Thank you for NOT running, Sarah!" Imagine hearing her voice at the debates and on television every single night, 'cause you KNOW the mass media would give her 22 minutes in each debate to make a fool of herself while further reducing Dr. Paul to a 2 second nod for introductions...
Thank you again, Sarah-h-h-h-h...!
"Cowards & idiots can come along for the ride but they gotta sit in the back seat!"
Didn't she used to be a
Didn't she used to be a neo-con? I'm just surprised. A lot of once-establishment, famous candidates are slowly gravitating toward Ron Paul, but they aren't quite ready to endorse.
I think Steve King and Jim Demint might be holding out to make an endorsement because they want to see if Ron Paul's poll numbers go up.
I saw her as a ticket-balancer.
My impression is that she's a libertarian wing Republican from a very libertarian-leaning state, brought onto the '08 ticket by the neocons in an attempt to keep the Paulites and other libertarian voters from staying home or voting for third party candidates. You notice that she didn't have much to say during McCain's run.
As you can see this didn't work for the neocons and cost her a bunch of credibility with the libertarian wing. Perhaps this is part of why she bailed from the Gov's office.
She endorsed Rand for senate. And it sounds like she's working up to endorsing Ron for prez.
But I could be wrong.
She's still pretty new to politics. Let's see how she handles herself in the future.

Palin is a liability.
A media has-been. Her comments concerning Ron Paul mean almost nothing in promoting him. At the end where she talked about how Ron Paul should not "whine" about the CBS debate, her voice grated on my ears.
If she criticized him instead, it would give Ron Paul more creditability--Like who is she to talk? Getting an endorsement from Palin is akin to getting a recommendation from someone from the looney bin.

Oh, she's crazy alright
Her out-of-the-blue comment about Ron Paul "whining" is straight out of la la land. Her books are full of the same kind of gibberish. It's disturbing.
But Americans do NOT care. There is a keen lack of discernment here. Fact is, she really does have the ability to charm people. Her endorsement of Rand was probably helpful.
I don't mind if she endorses Ron Paul. It will just show that maybe she is recovering from her mental problems, and that's good news for everyone, since she is bound to be a fixture in politics for a long time.
Palin
Palin has a huge base of support among Republican voters.
An endorsement from Palin would be a HUGE boon.
Remember what it did for Rand Paul?
I agree that if she were VP, it would damage credibility.
And thankfully, no one is talking about her as VP.
We just want her endorsement.
Waiting to bet
I have this feeling she's waiting to see a clear winner to back for the nominee. She might even wait until the election process starts and get behind a candidate then.
Also, she may have had somebody picked out, but the recent Iowa and New Hampshire polls may have changed her mind.
I honestly believe that this is a trick.
Either from the start of a smearing strategy, or in the middle of the way as certain pawns become counter-productive for whatever reason, the latter are utilized anew by asked to support the persons to be smeared, effectively downgrading them by the association.
Sarah Palin may show respectable ratings but it is my opinion as a psychologist that even a good chunk of her supporters actually dislike her as a person.
The archetype of the woman according to established values is still, today, the hysterical, submissive, over-emotional and sexualized companion to man. They dressed Palin up in order to represent a 'change' from this downtrodden figure, probably in hopes that she would appeal to women voters who, rightly, renounce this picture for themselves.
Well, she failed. She happens to be so hysterical herself to begin with (downplays important details, overly dramatic, demonstrates an air and opinions of diminished responsibility etc.) that, I think, if she can offer any help to the establishment anymore is by associating herself with certain targets- especially, dare I say, with carriers of powerful, if benevolent, masculinity like a Ron Paul.
Send her thanks and ask for a full endorsement?

Palin splits with neocon advisers
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0511/Palin_splits_wit...
Palin has made improvements since the '08 campaign. I would not lightly dismiss her.
1) She's parted ways with her neocon foreign policy advisers.
2) She endorsed Rand Paul.
3) She has made very friendly comments about Ron Paul.
4) She came out against the attack on Libya.
Look at the numbers in Iowa. 60% have not necessarily settled on any particular candidate. Only 29% say they they are firmly behind their candidate. If Sarah Palin endorsed Ron Paul, those numbers might come to parity, or even reverse! I posit that the reason why Iowa has not settled on any one candidate yet is due in large part to Tea Party Patriots waiting for a Palin endorsement.
One thing should be clear to all DP'ers now: The presstitutes are watching the DP, and are sometimes reporting on stories that break here first. Given that we have much visibility on us now, it might behoove us to consider being nice to Sarah, and not slam her as a neocon. To the extent an overture can be made to win her support, and I'd have Rand try, I do not want to be the one to blow that chance.
Like it or not, she has a following too. It wouldn't surprise me if she read this thread herself! In the off chance that's true, I say "Thank you for your kind words and advice for Ron Paul today."
Yes, even the "Ron shouldn't whine about it" was good sound advice. She is right to say, "Let the supporters deal with that". You know why? She KNOWS how powerful you and I are. We don't need our good doctor sullying his hands with work we can easily take care of for him :) Let us take up this particular baton regarding MSM trying to black out Ron Paul! That will free Ron Paul up to concentrate on the more important issues of the day.
Lastly, just because I'm making a post pointing out some of the recent good developments about her does not by any stretch mean I support all of her positions or am some Sarah Palin fanboy.
LOL..."presstitutes"
!
Phenomenal Idea
We use our cohesive forces to protest so much that I think your idea is fantastic. There are very very few people I agree with 100% (Ron Paul and perhaps Tom Woods) but we must find allies or at least recognize those who make friendly gestures.
Your "thank you" bomb is a fantastic idea.
Airhead patronizing a founder far her superior!!
What you hear is what you see! This was a great example of an airhead patronizing a statesman, whose knowledge, wisdom, and character is far her superior!! There is no comparison.
For listeners to find in this bimbo's words some conciliatory verbiage, some vague element of support, some pearls of blessing, is sheer fantasy, the stuff of dreams, out of touch, as is she, with the reality of the rapid decay of our Republic!
She says not a single word of support for what is obviously a far superior candidate than the whole field, for a person who should be president of the United States of America, by default! Her admonition as coming from a sixth grade teacher asked to evaluate the substitute teacher down the hall, is patronizing at best, and arrogant sounding in it's sheer brazenness! She says not a word of support for a single clear principle upon which Dr. Paul has based his entire career!
How could a running mate for John McCain turn around and leave her close friend and mentor, Newt, and endorse the enemy!?
Most of what she said is pure froth, whipped cream, devoid of any semblance of structure or foundational principle.
I see nothing to take heart from... but then there was nothing to start with. It is a blank, a wash, a waste of air time.
Get over it folks. Her endorsement would be no greater than Alfred E. Neuman's endorsement, and far less humerus. It would be a sign that the discouraged democrats and independents should look elsewhere for freedom's champion!
We know who the champion of the constitution is... she does not, and even if she did, she cannot feel it, believe it, bring herself to speak it, or live by it.
Palin's best attribute is just like the good 'Toastmaster' who, having nothing to say... says nothing!... Her worst... she is still talking!
I don't see her as an airhead
I don't see her as an airhead at all.
I see her as a libertarian-leaning Alaskan politician who was seduced into a temporary alliance by the Neocon dark-siders but is coming back to her roots after seeing how badly that worked out.
I see her as testing the waters with Fox - with its track record of trying to spike Ron Paul - as to how far she can get away with supporting him, without getting herself cut off from the venue.
She was asked a direct question about what Ron should do differently. Her answers were essentially that he's right on track. She pointed to what she thought was his most important set of messages (thus giving them another boost) and his greatest potential pitfall (being seen as "whining" if he personally complains about the media gang-ignore, but that he's doing EXACTLY the right thing by letting others call them on it).
So I have no problem with her using the word "whining" except as applied to non-candidates' criticism of the media. And I'm willing to give her slack on that as she was trying to construct soundbites on the fly in an interview setting.

There are a couple of ways to look at this sort of thing.
-Those who are not for us, are against us.
-Those who are not against us, are for us.
When it comes to choosing which more aptly applies, WE need to be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves if we are to help RP win this primary. To lose either quality will only cause RP to lose votes. And in my opinion, Palin has the least educated, yet most emotional group of supporters of any GOP political figure (as opposed to RP who has the most passionately educated supporters). That combination means something. Her supporters will not hear this as patronizing, not even a little bit. And they are the ones that we want to influence.
Now does that mean you have to go be a Palin groupie and seek her autograph? No. It simply means that you appreciate that her supporters see her as 'for Ron Paul'... because, she is not against him, as yet.
She is courting Ron Paul supporters
Yes, it's cool that she speaks of Ron Paul, but she's using it for personal benefit.
Why she doesn't speak more agaist the FED? She's afraid?
Fed
Palin has said on multiple occasions that she wants an audit of the Fed. I believe she says so in this interview as well.
I said this before and will
I said this before and will say it again. Another type of bomb that would be good is a thank you bomb. It could be a twitter or facebook thank you after someone in the media says something positive about Paul. Even if you don't like her or who ever acknowledge her good behavior. If she gets an overwhelming thank you response she will understand how the game is played and sorta like that fix. Most people like compliments. Now i'm not suggesting this is insincere because it's not. People who say good things about Paul deserve credit. Now let's thumbs up the video. Maybe even someone make a youtube channel just to favorite videos that say good things about Paul.
