Sarah Palin: How Congress Occupied Wall Street - WSJ.com It's very easy for thousands of conservatives to shout over five liberals at a conservative venue, and it's easy to defeat opposing opinion by removing them from a room. But CPAC is not the entire electorate. And if Sarah Palin thinks her message is that popular with 80% of Americans and it's easy for her to win a debate with Barack Obama, why didn't she run for President? She also spoke about Obama being the captain of the ship and doing nothing but rearranging the chairs during a shipwreck. Let me put it this way, and I'm gonna sound like an ass with this, but Sarah Palin would up on to the first lifeboat if she was the captain of a sinking ship. She's done this time and time again. She was selected as VP and, instead of being herself (a right-leaning moderate), she let the Republican party "groom" her and mold her in to what they wanted her to be. Between that and the unfair coverage she got from the media, the McCain/Palin ticket lost. Then she ran from the fight in Alaska and has done nothing to change the laws that allow any frivilous complaint to be filed. Next, she signed a deal with FOX "News" as their official everything expert. At this point, the TEA Party was becoming popular and the message of ending all regulation became popular. Sarah Palin strayed from her record in Alaska of taking on conservatives and liberals, and taking on the oil companies, and quickly changed in to a puppet for the corporations. She pissed off multiple oil companies on multple occassions as governor. She taxed oil companies, denied permits and demanded oil companies take action to protect the environment. Now, she acts as a spokesperson for big oil -- even defending BP during the oil disaster in the Gulf. Sarah Palin formed a Super PAC. Recently, she's complained about Super PACs and candidates hiding behind them. Once the populist momentum shifts back to the center or to the left, "you betcha" Sarah Palin will move right along with it.

| Wirelessly posted Sarah is going to do what keeps Sarah relevant, even if it is only moderately so. As for standards and hypocrisy,everybody has standards they just aren't the same. If you expect other to hold to a standard while you violate it that is hypocrisy. Clinton never told others they needed to hold to marital standards and he certainly didn't try to have anyone prosecuted for having an affair. Do as I say not as I do shouldn't be the standard or acceptable from any politician. |

Here is a hint, directing posts to someone is not ignoring them. It's like that commercial where the girl calls her BF to tell him she is giving him the silent treatment. | ||

| Conservatives suck because we are always willing to give an inch to avoid giving two and we call that winning. And it's not. The left doesn't suck because they are always demanding two and willing to accept one. And, they call that winning. Because it is. We pat ourselves on the back that we 'saved' an inch, we 'conserved' an inch. Why, it would be sooooo much worse had we not fought and stood on principle to save that inch. Then, we go about the process of finding which remaining inch is more important so we can decide which one to lose next time. The left pats themselves on the back because they got something and have no intention of resting at that. Once they get that inch and the party is over, they go right back to work to demand the next two inches in order to get the one they didn't get last time. Look at us. The nation is traumatized. Energy prices. The housing mess. Entitlements. Government cost, scope and power. Foreign policy. And what are we coalescing around? Birth control and gay marriage. To make the argument "Well, we're hypocrites but, at least we have principles to be hypocritical about!" is to confuse effort with results. It is to attempt to make a virtue out of losing. Barack Obama was down and nearly out not once but, twice in the last three years and both times, we helped him back up. The first time was the surge in Afghanistan. To not trust a leader over our dollars is all well and fine and good but, to then trust him with the lives of our troops is stupid. How is a dollar worth more than a life? Obama was on the ropes after the twin debacles of his failed stimulus and his health care brawl he was desperate to get the heat off so, he betrayed his side and chose, in December 2009, to throw out some red meat and get the dogs off of him and it worked like a charm, we Lemmings on the right saluting the flag and letting him off the hook instead of standing on principle; "We do NOT trust you with the economy. There is NO way we are going to trust you with the lives of our troops!" The second time was the mid terms. Obama was done. House D's took an epic drubbing and then, what happened? We gave him more, not less, more spending in exchange for....nothing. Not more tax cuts but, simply maintaining existing rates. Tax cuts are meaningless in the face of increased spending. Trusting a man with your kids life when you won't trust him with your wallet is sickening. n both cases, two major points in time that the left could have been sent home, we gave an inch to preserve an inch. The right sucks because all we ever do is play defense. And poorly at that. The left doesn't suck because they never stop playing offense while playing defense as a life and death struggle.
