    With a speech that rocks the house, and I am sure inflamed the hate in libs everywhere - Sarah Palin fired up the crowd at CPAC

    and in their usual slanted coverage, the liberal media tagged the discussion of Obama's record as contempt and bashing.

    The bottom line is, Sarah owned the place and Pres Obama is the one candidate that can unite Republican voters on election day

    This speech she gave shows exactly why Sarah Palin doesn't have what it takes as a serious politician. And why she chose not to run a presidential campaign this year. This woman is pandering to the Right in ways that I'm not sure this country has seen in a mainstream politician in a very long time. Her words are divisive and filled with hate. She is encouraging this US Vs. Them mentality and playing into the anger that many voters have been feeling for the last 10 or 20 years.

    Instead of offering serious alternatives, or showing any willingness to compromise with the other half, she is playing up this hate filled rhetoric that does this country no good other than to further divide people on issues. Both sides need to learn that they aren't the only ones living in this country and their needs are not the ones that our government should be exclusively focused on.

    Its possible these are genuine opinions and feelings that Sarah Palin has. But I think she cares more about her celebrity and her money than she does about serving the people of this country.

    Sarah did rock that convention and I was loving every minute of it as she held no punches by slamming obama's disastorous presidency. Sarah was re-igniting the fire under the Tea Party people, and now with Christians everywhere jumping ugly on obama's latest Christian bashing....this is looking like another all-American all-patriotic election cycle similar to the one we had in 2010. Conservatism will again rule the day as we push obama's socialism into the Lake of Fire where it belongs.

    Sarah Palin only cares about the tea party because they are the only ones who care to listen to her hate filled rhetoric. And I'm sure she didn't mind the pretty big paycheck she got to spend a few minutes of her time speaking there.

    She endorsed newt gingrich...

    End of story.How is he a tea party guy and a true conservative who hasn't needed to turn to the right ?

    2nd up is Santorum .. she said today he has always been a moral conservative..( I guess we now endorse known tax cheaters..) and he has never led from the left..

    What about his voting to expand the national debt 5 times?

    On A Sunday talk show she only attacked Romney with his mandate as a big government solution and he needs to prove more..

    She then singles out newt as an Historian who knows how government works ?
    He knows how to charge Freddie and Fannie for 1.8 million You mean..

    This is a small time person making money as a FOX contributor..Thus a influence peddler herself.She has never won a national campaign..ever completed an executive position...or been a chief CEO of any business..other than her family.

    She should study that history of Mass.constitutional mandates before talking about something she is clueless on.
    Romney led his state where it wanted to go..he NEVER FORCED anything on anybody but those who wanted a free ride on tax payers backs. Go buy a house in a flood plain and see what government Forces you to have with a MANDATE..Look at you paycheck and see FICA and taxes taken out..that is a MANDATE.

    Just because you dont agree with the funding principle or end results.. doesn't mean you get to not pay taxes or have flood insurance.THE MAJORITY of a states population gets to decide..not the individual.

    Show me where the constitution says the rights of the individual trump that of a legal democratic state vote.
    Maybe anti Romney bots should learn to read..
    Next time we have a military draft ..you cant argue like the ANTI-mandate people argue ..Mandates have a History...and are constitutional...

    Unlike what Obama passed without a true debate and all those freebies that everyone got for voting YES ..while forcing others ( who opposed )to pay.
    That never happened in Mass.
    84 % supported..TRY getting any vote in that margin on anything today.

    Maybe Palin or any other conservative should leave their safe ground and try a liberal state..I bet they would say things in an election cycle that might not line up with a total 100 % conservative Republican party line.

    We know Santorum in PA didn't when he voted to increase the debt 5 times..and voted against the right to work legislation.
    Voting No on earmarks would have been a earlier downfall..
    We know newt sat with Pelosi on that couch making a commercial against what Republicans believe..

    I only wish Palin might have thought about those statements and votes before suggesting Romney is not a true conservative. :censored:
    Instead she only focused on the current anti Romney theme..he is not a true conservative..ENOUGH ?

    What does it matter who she supports? I don't support Newt either (as I support Romney), but I'm talking about how she fired up the crowd at the CPAC Connvention with her bashing of obama--something the Republican Party needs now more than ever, and a chance to put the in-fighting among the Republican candidates on the back burner.

    You're playing right in to the liberal/obama playbook to have and see Republicans tear one another apart. Look, I have serious issues with every present Republican candidate, but I'm not about to crucify each one at the behest and enjoyment of the dem party's re-election team.


    I didn't happen to see or hear of that particular attack, but again, lets try to concentrate on the message(s) given at the CPAC Convention as they attacked obama and his socialist policies. You and Sarah seem to both be guilty of disrespecting Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment that states a Republican shall never speak ill of another Republican. This would be a great chance for you to abslove yourself of previous sins by emphatically stating that you'll never attack another Republican again. I have also sinned here, but I have since made ammends to myself and to the Republican Party by keeping my mouth zipped when it comes to speaking ill of Newt and Paul.


    Look, I'm with you buddy, Mitt is my man and I was living in Massachusetts when Mitt was governor. You don't have to sell me on Mitt's effectiveness as governor and as a businessman, but leave Sarah be for now for what she does best is to fire up the base.


    Look, Palin has had it wrong concerning Romney, but hopefuly she'll turn that all around once Romney becomes the Republican nominee.

    I can't agree with that "party first" mentality. I think its a self destructive attitude that can lead to people willing to overlook the problems within their own party and government. There is nothing wrong with healthy criticism, regardless of who it is directed at.

    Normally I would agree with you, but not during this Republican nomination process where so many candidates have risen--then fallen all to the delight of the obama re-election team. The candidates need to gear all their rhetorical efforts toward stopping another 4 years of socialism, which would truly sink our once great nation.

    I think its great if we can have an election with a assortment of different perspectives and voices. But too many in one political party during an election year seems to be tearing the GOP further apart then it was in 2008. Each of these 4 candidates have a great deal of support and its beginning to look like we might have a brokered convention coming up. Theres nothing wrong with healthy debate, but it just seems like voters are backing themselves up into their own little corners within the GOP. I'm an independent and I'm actually hoping Mitt Romney gets the nomination. But all of this political infighting seems to be doing a lot of damage. And people like Sarah Palin only incites more anger among voters. Just doesn't look good to me.

    She hasn't officially endorsed anyone for the record. I am expecting a brokered convention.

    I hope Palin keeps inciting anger among the voters. We need her and others to fire up the Republican/Conservative base and message nationwide.

    So as to get a general perspective of the feeling nationwide and the feeling of the opposition, i.e liberals, I will watch or listen to MSNBC, NBC, CNN and of course FOX and talk radio etc so as to get a balanced input as to what people are thinking and feeling. Its my opinion that the overwhelming majority of Americans are fed up with this socialism and will elect the Republican nominee come November regardless of what those polls may say of how obama will beat any of them in a head-to-head matchup.

    Palin is a joke in my opinion. As I stated earlier I'm an independent and her words do not inspire me at all whatsoever. I hate social conservatism and thats what she panders too. I don't even view her as a serious politician or political voice. The woman didn't even finish one term as governor of Alaska. She turned herself into a celebrity and has been playing on people's anger just like Newt Gingrich. I hate what she represents because she promotes an attitude that does not compromise or consider the needs of the other half. And no presidential nominee like her is going to win a general election. People like her need to realize that the majority of this country doesn't want to hear about "the fight to bring back traditional values" or that "we will cling to our guns". People want to hear real world solutions to real world problems.

    I believe this country has always tended to lean more conservative in political values for a long time now. Democrats tend to get into power after republicans find a way to make a scandal out of their administrations. Obama's road to victory in 2008 is an example of that. But democrats always have a harder time running as incumbents. I'd say the fascination with him is wearing off and a lot of people are starting to see that no ordinary man can change the way Washington operates. Nor has he made any significant steps towards reforming the corruption that happens on a daily basis in our capital. Its not so much the socialist aspect that people see him for, but rather that he really is no different than any other president before him.

    Are you kidding ... Liberals love it every time she open her mouth; it remove all doubt and it's her's own words that are the confirmation. :drool:

    I wish Conservatives could have a CPAC Convention every week.

    Well I find this position the weakest of all. There are those among us who believe our constitution exists to guarantee equal protections for us all. The philosphy inherently built into that document should remain steadfast in all laws created by congress. There should be no compromise on it what so ever. If you compromise between perfection and imperfection, you get imperfection.

    I know where Obama stands. He and most leftwingers care little about the constitution and want to do as they please; and I know where Tea Party types as Palin stand. They want it respected and followed. People in the middle tend to play it homage but really just want government to do whatever seems good at the time, usually without much regard to the principles written into our founding. aka..."it's fine to just fudge a little here and there.

    If government can do anything it wants by decree, the constitution is rendered meaningless. Compromising it is unacceptable and the only way it should occur is through the amendment process.

    If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything

    Palin got it right in her message

    So if I understand your post correctly anyone who brings up the results of Obama's policies, the debt, the deficits, the people who give up looking for work in Obama's economy, and his broken promises is not filed under "hate"?

    The only DNC approved talking point you left out was to tag Ms Palin a racist for not supporting Obama

    And Joe Biden is a fountain of intellectual superiority

    If oyu need to ask why the country is in the shape it is - simply look at who is running things

    and contraty to what the Obama supporters always say Bush has not been President for 3 1/2 years

    I wish they would have the convention every week as well. It gives the liberal media a chance to show their bias, hate, and stupidity al at the same time

    For example

    Seeing how Conservatives outnumber libs about 2 to 1, and that Palin's remarks fired up the Christian/Evangelical/Republican base vote across the nation, and the Tea Party vote along with the majority of independents and moderates who are fleeing obama's socialism by the droves, I would have to agree with you that one CPAC Convention a week wil undoubtedly be the death knell for the Democratic Party for decades to come.

    What you just said only strengthens my argument.

    The Constitution is not a perfect document and is also very loosely written so a lot of it is to be interpreted. It was also originally designed to give rights to only rich white slave owning men such as our founders. I will agree that Obama has done some things without Congress' approval and have done things that might be viewed as unconstitutional. But then again so have many other republican presidents before him. This has been a common occurrence since the civil war. After the defeat of the Confederates, the federal government has always had the final say on matters. And those who are in charge of the federal government can do what they want. Its basic American history.

    However, you seem to believe that anything liberal must be evil. Therefore government and conservatives should never reason or listen to the demands of others. But what conservatives like Palin and yourself continue to fail to understand is that not everyone in this country is a die hard conservative. There are millions of other people in this country that have different opinions and different needs. I'm talking of course about independents and liberals. The Constitution was not written by conservatives. Nor is the Constitution exclusively for conservatives. The constitution was never designed to be read word for word. And if we want we can change things in it. Ultimately the Constitution is supposed to be flexible to the needs of its citizens. The amendments are not the Ten Commandments with laws set in stone.

    You the man again.!!

    Now if you would only FINISH the " rest of the story " :)

    Who did win the last 2 years at this convention..
    yep the most anti military idiot in History of politics.

    The guy who believes we are the cause of the worlds unrest..
    The guy who blames the USA first on every ill of the world..
    The guy who thinks pork is the other white TEXAS MEAT.
    The guy who only wins counties in NEVADA where the bunny ranch is located and only gets voters who think the war on drugs is un cool.
    The guy who cant win a single state..
    The guy who has never ran a major business..company or graduated with any degree in economics..yet lectures us on MONEY ?
    Most of this would point to the current President...OBAMA.

    But no..it pointed to a guy who wouldn't support the Republican nominee to defeat Obama LAST time.
    ( how did anybody but Obama work out last time ? )
    and we NEED to gather around our eventual nominee?
    RON Paul didn't.

    Ron Paul is the Obama lite..Paul and Obama dont favor a strong military..
    Ron Paul and Obama dont favor any Republican nominee...

    On one of the MAJOR legs of the republican stool ..Ron Paul is the weakest sort of Republican ever to RUN as a Republican. EVEN Obama seems stronger to most conservatives on this issue than Ron Paul does.

    Ron Paul finished LAST at this CPAC convention for a reason.
    He is not the conservative most would want to see get elected.

    Maybe instead of anti Romney spin every night...FOX should lead off with why Paul and newt and Santorum cant seal the deal ?

    There is a reason they trail Romney..
