The Left Wishes Sarah Palin Wasn’t
November 23, 2009 / 11:55 am • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierWouldn’t it be nice if no one was pushing back against the leftist, state-growing agenda? It would be bad for America, but great for Democrats. It would be bad for America, but great for establishment Republicans. I bet John McCain really wonders about what he’s wrought.
You know what’s driving the left nuts right now? People see Sarah Palin and are thinking, she’s looking a heck of lot less risky now that we’ve seen President Obama in action for a while. She sounds strong. She speaks with conviction. She might have an Alaskan twang, but her message is clear.
Here’s the money quote from the LaTimes post about Palin:
Saturday night Palin’s book bus swung by a mall in Roanoke, Va., a state Obama won a year ago but just recently elected a Republican governor to replace departing Tim Kaine, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. The former Alaska governor wanted to greet the hundreds of fans already lining up in 39-degree weather for her Sunday morning signing.
“She brings out a different crowd,” Salem Republican Party Chairman Greg Habeeb told the Roanoke Times. Habeeb was struck by the numerous non-Republicans he spotted in the line snaking all over the mall. “She taps into something that the Republican Party really needs to tap into.”
It’s not clear whether Sarah Palin can overcome the misgivings many feel about her, but it’s clear that she can drive the debate. The left would like nothing better than a silent majority. With Sarah Palin giving voice to the frustration and alienation many feel from the political class, the majority is a lot less silent.
Sarah Palin is just what America needs for that reason alone.

“It’s not clear whether Sarah Palin can overcome the misgivings many feel about her …”
Remember, though, Ronald Reagan had a similar public perception. Dumb Hollywood movie actor, the tiresome comparisons to Bonzo, trigger-happy warmonger, not very bright, yada yada yada. Two landslides later, he’s among the greatest presidents in U.S. history. Of course, Jimmy Carter looks presidential compared to the current occupant … so would Bonzo, actually.
Anyway, back on topic … Palin has a chance to follow in the footsteps of Ronaldus Magnus starting with her book tour which followed her speech in Asia. Clearly, the pinhead intellectuals are terrified of her because she connects with the Great Unwashed. Is she the next Reagan? Only time will tell. I believe she is, but she has to move beyond cult figure.
Besides, isn’t one cult figure as president enough for one lifetime?

The moment Sarah’s skin thickens one more layer, she’ll run the table. I think that’ll happen right soon.

She doesn’t need thick skin – she needs to NOT listen to all the “know it all” pundits that drove McCain’s run, and that keep picking RINO’s over Conservatives. She needs to NOT let ANY, and I mean NOT ONE, of the current (and past) Republican Party people, and not just the leaders but anyone there, try to jump on her band-wagon. (They are actually most of the PROBLEM anyway, because we all know the Libs and Dems and MSM will be 10,000,000% against her always.)
She needs to keep doing exactly what she’s doing and driving the Libs, MSM’s and especially the RINO’s crazy (with a lot of jealously in there too).
