The GOP candidates must focus on defeating Obama, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said last night during a TV interview with Greta Van Susteren from her home in Wasilla, Alaska in response to a question on why Obama is rising in the polls. Van Susteren had questioned Gov. Palin about flat and declining voter turnouts thus far in the primaries. Gov. Palin said voter enthusiasm is not there yet partly because some believe “it is a foregone conclusion that Romney will be the nominee,” and partly because of “collateral damage from the nominating process as the candidates beat each other up.”
Gov. Palin said that Obama would love to debate Romney and fears Gingrich, because “he is the toughest debater.” She said Gingrich “offers solutions, ideas,” and has a past record of successes. She said Romney’s air of inevitability arises from the $40 million he has spent thus far on attack ads. By contrast, Santorum has raised only $2.8 million. But, “Santorum is rising in the polls and is ... [Read More] |

Governor Palin posted on Facebook: The conflict between Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and Planned Parenthood once again raises the issue of Planned Parenthood’s funding. As has been pointed out many times, Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide mammograms. So, why should a breast cancer charity feel enormous pressure to donate to an abortion provider? It’s frustrating to see Komen feel it had to reverse its decision based on political pressure. Here’s an interesting and very good take away from all of this: As
controversial as this entire situation has beco... |

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin last night called upon the GOP declared candidates to focus their energy on “who is is best equipped to take on Obama and his failed policies” in a single-segment TV interview with Bill O’Reilly from her home studio in Wasilla, Alaska.
Gov. Palin also urged voters to not listen to the negative ads put out by the super-PACS and the candidates and instead do their own homework, and do their own vetting. “It is imperative that voters do not become lazy,” she said. O’Reilly said that while may viewers of his and other Fox shows would do it, he considered most voters to be ill-informed. Gov. Palin said the candidates need to focus on how best to mount a campaign against Obama. She also said “it is not negative campaigning to call out records, past associations, and what another candidate has said and done in the past.” She acknowledged O’Reilly’s thesis that negative campaign ads ultimately become free ads for the Democrats to use against us....

“What I’m trying to do is find out who has that ideal, and also who can win the GOP nomination – not that it would be a wasted vote for Ron Paul, but Gingrich and Romney are the two front runners. I’m trying to be practical, not naively idealistic,” former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin last night said in a TV interview with Judge Napolitano of Freedom Watch from her home studio in Wasilla, Alaska. “It is the multi-billion dollar question, ‘who best to go against Obama?' That’s why I want the vetting to continue,” she said. Gov. Palin reinforced her “rage against the machine” message, saying, “rage against the status quo – the status quo that got us into that pickle. I want voters to rise up and allow the vetting process to continue.” Gov. Palin said if the GOP establishment gets the expedited conclusion it seeks, the electorate will be cut off – disenfranchised. On Gingrich, Gov. Palin said he “has a record of raging against the
machine in so ... |

Governor Palin Saturday posted on Facebook:
We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction to attack an opponent. We will look back on this week and realize that something changed. I have given numerous interviews wherein I espoused the benefits of thorough vetting during aggressive contested primary elections, but this week’s tactics aren’t what I meant. Those who claim allegiance to Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment should stop and think about where we are today. Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, the fathers of the modern conservative movement, would be ashamed of us in this primary. Let me make clear that I have no problem with the routine rough and tumble of a heated campaign. As I said at the first Tea Party convention two year... [Read More] |

“We’ve got candidates who can do the job. We can’t be spewing negative rhetoric against them. We need to be united. I’m proud of the American voter,” former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said last night in the closing moments of a TV interview with Fox Business’ Eric Bolling from her home in Wasilla, Alaska as her fireplace roared behind her. Gov. Palin’s statement was in response to Bolling’s “are you running? Your supporters hear you and think you should run!” Gov. Palin said that with voter vetting, the GOP field will produce a candidate who will be successful in taking on Obama in the general election.
Gov. Palin said Florida voters should tune into what the media is doing and see if they are being fair. She also cautioned voters to watch and observe the elites in the GOP machine. “They’re content with crony capitalism,” she said. “If they seem to be unfairly attacking, run and vote in the opposite direction.” Gov. Palin further cautioned Florida voters to observe which candid... [Read More] |

“I want to help the cause, not hurt the cause. At this point, I’m vetting candidates like everyone else…I’m going to vet, live life and keep the fires burning at home,” former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin last night said in a two-segment TV interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro from her home in Wasilla, Alaska as her fireplace roared behind her.
Last night’s interview mainly pertained to former Arkansas Governor Michael Huckabee’s South Carolina question and answer forum for the field of declared candidates. Gov. Palin said she found no surprises from the forum. She cautioned the GOP to not “take a page out of Obama’s playbook. GOP, let’s not do that! No question should be censored or banned. All issues should be on the table. I’m a free-market capitalist. I understand the private sector and creative destruction, how jobs come and go.” Judge Pirro asked Gov. Palin what she thought about Newt Gingrich directly making a negative statement against Mitt Romney in violation of the... [Read More] |

Prior to her interview with Eric Bolling, Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin predicted none of the GOP candidates would drop out of the race until after South Carolina or Florida in a single-segment interview with Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly from her home in Wasilla, Alaska, Jeff Poor of the Daily Caller reported. “All of them have money” – at least enough to get them through the next primary or two. Michele Bachmann in contrast had run out of money.
Gov. Palin said Ron Paul’s performance was a surprise and that it could shift to the debate toward pro-capitalist free markets, which is what the GOP represents. <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?embedCode=xvZXM5MzqJkDBC41FuL6BWLz0T5vvYJf&deepLinkEmbedCode=xvZXM5MzqJkDBC41FuL6BWLz0T5vvYJf"></script> H/T Ian Lazaran, Conservatives4Palin for story lead. |

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin thrice said tonight that the Republican Party must contrast its free-market, capitalist principles with the Obama machine’s socialist, authoritarian welfare state policies during a single-segment TV interview with Eric Bolling from her home in Wasilla, Alaska. When asked if her husband, Todd’s consulted with her prior to endorsing Newt Gingrich last night, Gov. Palin responded, “No. The First Dude went Rogue. Todd is about hardhats, steel toes, and getting people back to work,” she said noting his involvement in vocational technology (vo-tech).
In her three statements pertaining to the GOP contrast of visions, Gov. Palin referred to Thomas Sowell and Adam Smith, both of whom wrote extensively about that subject. Her forebear, President Ronald Reagan once said “let there be bold contrasts, no pale pas... [Read More] |

On New Year’s Eve another Sarah shot and killed a man who was breaking into her house. Sarah McKinley, 18, a single mom was protecting herself and her baby and asked the 911 Dispatcher about the legality of shooting the intruder. Police ruled the shooting justified. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today offered her support of young Sarah in an email to National Review Online, saying, “I love that young woman. I’m all in favor of girls with guns who know their purpose. She fulfilled a purpose of the Second Amendment. I’d advise my own daughters to do the same. This mom protected an innocent life. Kudos to the 911 dispatcher, too.”
