Palin: If Tea Partiers Were Terrorists, Obama Would Pal Around With Us
Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin responds to a report that Vice President Joe Biden said Republicans were "terrorists" during a closed-door meeting with Congressional Democrats about the debt compromise.
Palin says "enough is enough" and she's "not going to sit here and take it anymore" when it comes to the left accusing the Tea Party of racism.
"It's all talk and no real action. Otherwise he'd be on Biden and tell Biden to tone it down a little bit. Yeah, right, independent patriotic Americans who desire fiscal sanity in our beloved nation being called terrorists. Heck, Sean, if we were real domestic terrorists, shoot, President Obama would be wanting to pal around with us, wouldnt he? I mean he didnt have a problem paling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers' apartment," Palin said on FOX News' "Hannity."
There is no pressure on her to announce. And, while I'm inclined to agree with you to a point and state that she probably won't get into the race, I believe that there remains a 30-35% chance that she WILL seek the nomination. It depends upon where the field is in December. If it's as milquetoast then as it is now, she'll be in.

Yes, it was. Calling a spade a spade and not pulling punches.
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
As much as those on the Left would like Palin to be the nominee, I think they're going to be disappointed.
She's waited too long, and the big money donations have gone to others. Besides, I think she sees her role as "tea party" spokesperson - and hopes to have a tea-party approved candidate emerge. She will try to influence the process to that end.
IMO it's going to come down to Romney vs. Perry. The tea-party will never support Romney (he will be the establishment, McCain candidate this go-round). Perry MIGHT get tea-party support if he's seen as a legitimate alternative to Romney.
Rubio will be the VP candidate in either instance.

ACtually, the "Big Money" in the GOP has been notably on the sidelines at this point in the 2012 election cycle. I'm about to post an article about that very topic.

If that's the case, it's probably because none of the announced candidates have managed to get out of the 20s. (Only one is IN the 20s - Romney - and he's only at 22 percent.)
You might argue that the lack of the big money getting behind someone shows the weak and lackluster field - but to me it shows how weak ROMNEY is.
If the field IS that weak - he should be running away with it by now. At least in the high 30s or 40s.
The next GOP convention is going to come down to the tea party vs. the establishment. I don't see them resolving it without splitting.
And that (or a manufactured crisis that will cancel the election) is Obama's best hope.
Bill Ayers....Does that terrorist name ring a bell for you??
Why the hate on Bill Ayers? Did he sell arms against the law to Islamofascists like Ollie North did?
With the economy still in the dumper -- maybe permanently? -- and full-time jobs becoming as scarce as rain during a drought, huge percentages of Americans have had their (misplaced) faith in the American dream shaken, the upper-middle-class consumerist lifestyle is exposed as a mirage for anybody who plays by the rules. Capitalism and the America that embraced it as a way of life is now and forever more a failure. It does me good to know that the generation that voted in Reagan and his ideology will see their America die from that ideology before their very own eyes and knowing they had a hand in its destruction.

I agree with you completely.
Again, we're in agreement; The Fix is in.
Rubio will be the VP candidate in either instance.
Hmmm...I think it'll be a female RINO.

But seriously - If Palin is "insane," what does that make Biden? Shiela Jackson Lee? Pelosi?
Holy sh*t - 90% of the Dem Party and their bleating flock is...insane.
And btw as an aside - take down that inane photo-tagline of 0bama. It's making you look like a damn teeny-bopper and sychophant. And of course you're NOT an 0bama-sycophant, are you??

How did you miss the part where 0bama had his political coming-out party in Ayers LIVING ROOM?
Geez, can you possibly THAT ignorant of Ayers and 0bam's relationship? That beside ghost-writing 0bama's best selling Commie book - 'Wet Dreams of My AWOL Sperm-Donating Father'

Why should I? It appears to have an ongoing intended affect...

You'll get no argument from me. Lack of experience is spiking this presidency. It also highlights the double standard that exists between GOP and Democrat POTUSes...Bush's lack of experience was never seen as a liability - still isn't - and yet he made blunder after blunder because of it...
