We Have Moved to a New Address

Please click here:

http://www.sarah-palin-2012.blogspot.com/

Meet the Real Sarah Palin was created to try and counter some of the lies, myths and misrepresentations which spread all over the web right after Governor Palin was announced as John McCain's running mate.

A media feeding frenzy ensued in reaction to the news that a woman had been picked. A very attractive woman with an unusual life story and compelling values.

The leftist liberals from Hollywood to Maine to Dallas immediately felt their lifestyles threatened and went ballistic.

This woman is pro-life!

This woman hunts!

This woman has 5 kids!

This woman supports the War in Iraq!

Then they began inventing and spreading rumors. MSM printed and aired much that should have been fact checked.

Only the "Sarah blogs" and their readers defended her and you know who you are. Thank you so much!

Now it is time to regroup and rethink our purpose. I chose my blog URL hurriedly with only the upcoming election in mind. Alas that was not to be.

So we are moving to
Sarah Palin in 2012. The new URL is:


http://www.sarah-palin-2012.blogspot.com/

I have been double posting for several days. And all the 400+ articles from the old blog will still be acessable.

I think you will like the new interface. The white background makes the text much easier to read.

If you are a follower and I hope you are, you will have to click on
"follow this blog" on the new one.

If you subscribe by email or a reader, that will have to be redone also.

I am sorry to inconvenience readers, but I couldn't figure out any other way to do this.

I'll try to make it up by publishing even better articles in the future.

Thank you all.

Bring Palin back in 2012, poll says


By Alex Leary, Times staff writer
In print: Sunday, November 30, 2008

No sooner had Barack Obama won the presidential election than pundits started looking to 2012 and possible Republican challengers. A Gallup Poll asked people to rank the top 10 candidates they would like to run. Topping the list: Sarah Palin (67 percent), Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. Second to last: Gov. Charlie Crist (23 percent), one below former Gov. Jeb Bush (31 percent). The telephone poll was taken Nov. 5-16 and included 799 Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The Palin-bashers



Posted: November 18, 2008
1:00 am Eastern

Just who are the amorphous individuals attacking Gov. Sarah Palin as not being smart enough to have been vice president? What makes her less capable than Joe Biden? In retrospect, if Biden was such a brilliant pick, and if Michelle Obama is so intelligent, why were both kept off the main stage in the closing weeks of the presidential

race – while Sarah Palin was increasingly in public view?

I submit they are comprised of two factions – the first being those that never wanted her to be vice president – the other, those who are afraid she may succeed as a presidential candidate in 2012. Lumped into both groups are those who don't have a clue, which includes elitist Republicans who place a higher value on a person's alma mater than they do a person's ability.

The accusations now surfacing is that Gov. Palin isn't "smart enough" to even consider running for president, to which one might argue: like Al Gore and John Kerry were, and like Joe Biden is – but I digress. A pre-eminent business leader told me many years ago, "You don't have to be super smart to be successful – you just have to be smart enough to surround yourself with people who are."

To that point, Sarah Palin is not only smart enough to surround herself with smart people, but she is also both smart and capable. Her record of accomplishment in barely two years as governor of Alaska is extraordinary. She is a proven fiscal conservative who puts the best interests of the people ahead of "good ol' boy" politics and policies, and she isn't hesitant to take on malevolent factions of her own party. She holds to traditional values, not as a mace, but as a way of life.

Our Country Deserves Better


Palin’s Appeal Proves Durable
By Sarah Wheaton
As she seeks to recover politically from her failed election bid on Senator John McCain’s ticket, the big question for Gov. Sarah Palin has been whether her backers would remain enthusiastic over the long run.
As it turns out, over the past few days, about 1,000 people have donated tens of thousands of dollars to Our Country Deserves Better, a political action committee that is planning a pro-Palin advertisement later this month.
“We thought it would be appropriate to have the thank-you ad run around Thanksgiving,” said Joe Wiezbicki, the PAC’s coordinator. The group expects to shoot on Monday and raise “a couple hundred thousand dollars” to buy airtime nationally.
Our Country Deserves Better, based in Sacramento, was founded during the campaign to draw contrasts between Senator Barack Obama and John McCain, holding a cross-country, 40-stop tour and even running a pro-Palin commercial. Ms. Palin’s nomination brought praise from conservatives, and she drew large, enthusiastic crowds.
But now, Mr. Wierzbicki said, there has been “an absence of a pro-Palin cohort.”
“This woman’s reputation is going to be so damaged that she can never be a national political figure,” he added. So the goal of the ad is to “preserve her options.”
Mr. Wierzbicki said he was “surprised” by the response so far, which he called a “testament to her”, given typical post-election fatigue, especially on the losing side.
“I don’t think we would’ve seen the same level of response” if the planned spot were to defend Mr. McCain, he said.

Media Bias Clearly Demonstrated by the Feeding Frenzy Over Who Was Baby Trig's Mother

This facsination over the parentage of Sarah Palin's Down Syndrome baby was one of the most unseemly and despicable facets of the "soap opera type" campaign coverage by the media.

Read this:

And yet they could turn a blind eye to the mountains of questionable evidence in Barack Obama's past. Many of which have still not been settled to my satisfaction.

The long knives are out and the fight will be bloody.


Sarah has battled the "old boys network" successfully before, but never have the stakes been so high. JC

Blogging from Phoenix: GOP insiders are reporting, former presidential candidate Mitt Romney is making his anticipated bid for control of the Republican Party. Political insiders also claim he is quickly becoming the principle figure behind continued efforts to ramp up public attacks on Sarah Palin. The strategy to ridicule Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, is a tactic intended to discourage her from any attempt to seek National influence. She is viewed by the RNC establishment, Has the most potentially dangerous threat to their hold on the infrastructure of the party. I am told by a source in the Palin inner circle of advisers and confidants, The old boys per usual are several fatal steps behind, the potential threat is already executing plans and circling for the kill shot.Governor Palin wasted little time Friday in labeling as cowards those who make anonymous statements to the media. While current GOP office holders in party leadership positions attempt to present a unified public face, civil war is looming in the republican ranks, Ideologues’ are preparing to battle the entrenched establishment old guard. As a liberal blogger I do not have a dog in the fight, so my perspective is at least objective.

The most relevant fact seems to be the respected Rasmussen poll. It reports a whopping 64 percent of the rank and file is behind Governor Sarah Palin while former Governor Romney is only able to draw 11 percent of the party faithful.

Show a Little Respect!!!


Hey,wait up guys,we made some history too!!!


The United States just ended a historic presidential campaign, the like of which has never before been seen.
The Republican party made history as the oldest man ever, John McCain, ran for president and outpaced his staff and the army of reporters following him in energy and enthusiasm. Not only that, he has survived cancer a number of times which increased every time his detractors tried to say he would not survive his term, if elected. Even Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, chimed in and said we should elect Democratic candidate Barack Obama instead.
Sarah Palin was the second woman in history to appear on the ballot as a United States vice-presidential candidate for a major party. Who, had it not been for the financial meltdown caused by the Democrats like Barney Frank, may well have been our new vice-president today. Who was gracious and kind to everyone, who complimented Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro in her acceptance speech.
Hillary Clinton came close to obtaining the Democratic presidential nomination in a long hard fought primary effort against Barack Obama in 2008 and Geraldine Ferraro was picked by Democrat Walter Mondale as a running mate in 1984. He lost the election to Ronald Reagan.
Barack Obama, son of a white mother and black man, made history as the first black man to be elected president of the USA in 2008.
So we made a lot of history and broke a few barriers. And now in the aftermath, the blame game has started. Not content with their shameful treatment of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, during the campaign, the mainstream media and the liberal harpies are piling on.
I just want to say:
Let it go. Your candidate won. Be as gracious in victory as John McCain was in defeat.

I started my blog in early September to refute the vicious rumors about Sarah Palin that started as soon as she was announced as the vice-presidential nominee.

She never banned books, never charged victims for rape kits. Was right about Russia being visible from some areas of Alaska. And on and on and on.

The vicious Hollywood celebrities and turncoat Republicans who attacked her would do well to remember her enormous popularity.

She will be back. God willing. America needs her.

Sarah Palin 2012


November 6th, 2008
By Aaron Goldstein

John McCain’s greatest contribution to the conservative movement was naming Sarah Palin as his running mate.

So the country got its wish.

Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States in 76 days from now.

He has now been placed in the awkward position of having to back up his own lofty oratory. With lofty oratory come lofty expectations.

Americans expect Obama to restore to our economy to prosperity.

Americans expect Obama to reform health care.

Americans expect Obama to command our armed forces in Afghanistan and Iraq responsibly and to protect us in the ongoing War on Terror.

With our economy in the worst shape it has been in nearly three decades it is unlikely Obama will be able to provide any quick fix for the economy. Under these conditions it is also unlikely Obama will be able to change our health care system in any meaningful way.

Aside from inheriting two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, it is very likely Joe Biden’s prediction will be realized. A foreign power or a terrorist organization (possibly both) will test Obama’s resilience before 2009 has passed. By Biden’s own admission it will not be readily apparent that Obama has passed such a test.

Americans have taken a leap of faith with Obama. Under Obama’s leadership will America soar to a new horizon or will America fall hard and fast to a spectacular crash?

Barack Obama is our first black President. By the end of his term I believe his hair will be whiter than John McCain’s.

John McCain is indisputably an honorable and noble man. However, he not considered a conservative icon. However, McCain’s greatest legacy to the conservative movement was naming Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Sarah Palin has reinvigorated the conservative movement. Obama’s victory does not diminish this renewed enthusiasm in the least. In Palin, conservatives have someone to rebuild the movement around. Given her unusual circumstances and the transcendent nature of her persona in her possession she has already proven that she can attract people who had no previous interest in politics much less describe themselves as conservative or Republican. Despite the disdain of the liberal media and a handful of conservative critics, Sarah Palin has captured the imagination of everyday Americans in her own right and would be a formidable foe for Obama in four years time.

Yes, I am putting it out there less than 24 hours after the Presidential election. If she runs I will support Sarah Palin’s bid for the White House in 2012. I know I am not alone.

Palin will be four years older and wiser but no less charming and dynamic. Should she run Palin will have more experience as a state Governor than Mitt Romney.

This isn’t to say that Palin’s path to the White House would be easy. Her status as John McCain’s running mate and following she has developed might make her the frontrunner but we all know what has happened to frontrunners lately.
Palin hasn’t always made nice with Republicans. Who can guarantee that she won’t face a challenge in the 2010 Alaska Republican Primary? Could Frank Murkowski challenge Palin as Palin challenged him in 2006? Even if Palin survives a strong challenge from Murkowski or any other Republican it could hurt her chances for re-election.

GOP challenge or not every Democrat in the country is going to fly to Juneau to ensure her defeat in November 2010. Democrats will do with her what Republicans tried to do with Bill Clinton when he ran for re-election as Governor of Arkansas in 1990. Republicans charged that Clinton would not serve a full term because of his Oval Office ambitions. Clinton denied he was contemplating a White House bid in 1992. Well, I think we know how that turned out. Suffice it to say, Democrats will be making this charge and Palin will have to walk a very fine line.

Assuming that Palin survives both a GOP challenge and wins re-election in Alaska it is unlikely she would win the Republican nomination for the White House by acclamation.You can be sure Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee still have aspirations for higher office. One must also consider up and comers like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who was elected to office a year ago, and perhaps Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor, the only Jewish Republican in the House of Representatives. Both Jindal and Cantor were discussed as potential running mates for McCain last summer.

No one is going to hand Sarah Palin the Presidency on a platter and she hasn’t asked for any such thing. If Palin is nominated by the Republican National Convention and goes on to win the White House in four years it will be because she has earned it like she has earned everything else in her life.

Sarah Palin is an American success story. She is a self-made woman who has raised a family while serving the public good. This resonates with a large segment of the American public who see her in themselves. We say to ourselves, “If she can make it then I can make it too.” If Obama’s time is now she will resonate that much more should he be unable to make the most of his time in office.

Sarah Palin’s time will come. America’s preparation for that time begins today.

Alaskan Democrats join defense of Palin, natural gas pipeline

Lawmakers say report by Associated Press was unfair to governor
By Pat Forgey Juneau Empire
Alaska legislators are criticizing a story on Gov. Sarah Palin by The Associated Press that challenged Palin's top accomplishment as governor - jump-starting progress on a natural gas pipeline.

"I thought it was a pretty shoddy reporting job, honestly," said Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, among many Democrats and supporters of Barack Obama who are coming to Palin's defense.

The story, written by AP reporters Justin Pritchard and Garance Burke, concluded that the Alaska Legislature used a flawed process when it chose TransCanada Corp. to develop a pipeline to bring Alaska's gas to the U.S. Midwest, and blamed Palin for the decision.

The Legislature and Palin sought to make sure the pipeline was operated as an independent pipeline, whether it was owned by one of the state's major oil and gas lease holders or an independent company.

The AP reporters called that process "flawed" and linked it to an alleged conflict of interest by a Palin administration staff member.

The AP reporters said Palin had been warned, including twice by Vice President Dick Cheney, to bring in the oil producers to the pipeline project. On Alaska's North Slope, Exxon Mobil Corp., BP and ConocoPhillips Co. produce the bulk of the state's oil and hold most of its discovered gas reserves.

The Legislature nearly unanimously established rules that required an independently operated pipeline, but allowed the producers to submit their own bid under terms resembling an independent pipeline.

The AP reporters said seeking an independent pipeline ultimately favored TransCanada and excluded the producers, which was why the process was flawed.

Sen. Gene Therriault, R-North Pole, Senate minority leader, called the story "way off base."

Palin deserves our respect



Posted on Sun, Oct. 26, 2008

by Helen McCaffrey
Director of Women's Watch Inc., a nonprofit women's advocacy group based in Cape May


I cannot predict who will win the presidential campaign, but I already know who will lose big: all women.

I realized this when I saw a 20-something male student who attends a class in the community college where I teach, wearing a T-shirt that read, "Sarah Palin is a C-." He wore it in public, in broad daylight, and without shame or even consciousness of what he was doing.

I took the time to advise him of the "error of his ways" and informed him of the consequences if he wore it to my class.

This encounter shook me right down to my socks.

Most of my adult life has been spent working for civil rights for all Americans, as a lawyer defending constitutional rights and now as a college teacher and director of a nonprofit advocating for the rights of women.

Not since I told myself I could lose weight on the pizza and cheesecake diet have I been so self-deluded. This election cycle has been like stepping on the scale.

It was the encounter with the young man that woke me up, but there were signs all along the campaign trail. First, with the candidacy of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who won 18 million popular votes from the people of the United States and was ridiculed, marginalized, and put in her place when she wasn't even offered the vice presidency slot.

Sarah Palin is a Brainiac

by Elaine Lafferty

The former editor in chief of Ms. magazine (and a Democrat) on what she learned on a campaign plane with the would-be VP.

Elaine Lafferty is a former staff correspondent at Time magazine and the Irish Times of Dublin, features editor at MORE magazine, editor in chief of Ms magazine. She has covered everything from the OJ Simpson trial to the Unabomber case, natural disasters in Central America, and conflicts in Kosovo, the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The recipient of numerous journalism awards, she co-authored My Turn At the Bully Pulpit with Greta Van Susteren.

It's difficult not to froth when one reads, as I did again and again this week, doubts about Sarah Palin's “intelligence,” coming especially from women such as PBS's Bonnie Erbe, who, as near as I recall, has not herself heretofore been burdened with the Susan Sontag of Journalism moniker. As Fred Barnes—God help me, I'm agreeing with Fred Barnes—suggests in the Weekly Standard, these high toned and authoritative dismissals come from people who have never met or spoken with Sarah Palin. Those who know her, love her or hate her, offer no such criticism. They know what I know, and I learned it from spending just a little time traveling on the cramped campaign plane this week: Sarah Palin is very smart.

I'm a Democrat, but I've worked as a consultant with the McCain campaign since shortly after Palin's nomination. Last week, there was the thought that as a former editor-in-chief of Ms. magazine as well as a feminist activist in my pre-journalism days, I might be helpful in contributing to a speech that Palin had long wanted to give on women's rights.


What is often called her “confidence” is actually a rarity in national politics: I saw a woman who knows exactly who she is.


Now by “smart,” I don't refer to a person who is wily or calculating or nimble in the way of certain talented athletes who we admire but suspect don't really have serious brains in their skulls. I mean, instead, a mind that is thoughtful, curious, with a discernable pattern of associative thinking and insight. Palin asks questions, and probes linkages and logic that bring to mind a quirky law professor I once had. Palin is more than a “quick study”; I'd heard rumors around the campaign of her photographic memory and, frankly, I watched it in action. She sees. She processes. She questions, and only then, she acts. What is often called her “confidence” is actually a rarity in national politics: I saw a woman who knows exactly who she is.





Palin's Glass Ceiling Speech


For all those old enough to remember Senator Sam Ervin, the brilliant strict constitutional constructionist and chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee whose patois included “I'm just a country lawyer”… Yup, Palin is that smart.


So no simple task then, this speech on women's rights. For the sin of being a Christian personally opposed to abortion, Palin is being pilloried by the inside-the-Beltway Democrat feminist establishment. (Yes, she is anti-abortion. And yes, instead of buying organic New Zealand lamb at Whole Foods, she joins other Alaskans in hunting for food. That's it. She is not a right-wing nut, and all the rest of the Internet drivel—the book banning at the Library, the rape kits decision – is nonsense. I digress.) Palin's role in this campaign was to energize “the Republican base,” which she has inarguably done. She also was expected to reach out to Hillary Clinton “moderates.” (Right. Only a woman would get both those jobs in either party.) Look, I am obviously personally pro-choice, and I disagree with McCain and Palin on that and a few other issues. But like many other Democrats, including Lynn Rothschild, I'm tired of the Democratic Party taking women for granted. I also happen to believe Sarah Palin supports women's rights, deeply and passionately.

Jeri Thompson Great on Hannity Appearance

Jeri Thompson was just great on her appearance tonight as Team Sarah spokesperson on Hannity and that other guy. :-) JC

So many people tried to get into Team Sarah tonight, after hearing her speak that they literally "crashed the server," as the geeks say -- meaning caused the computer that hosts this site to freeze up temporarily! (So don't worry, its not your computer.) If you know someone who you think tried to visit -- tell them to come back. Tomorrow. And if you know someone who hasn't found out that Team Sarah is so much fun that we have the computer version of "the line goes around the block!" -- tell them to come on over tomorrow, when probably they can get in. Tell them you can get them in this Exclusive Club! ; )Meanwhile -- the last time this happened was the group that turned into MoveOn.org, now 4 million strong. Which is only half how big Team Sarah is going to be. This morning we were 10,000 strong. Tonight, we are 13,0000 and growing faster than we can buy new sneakers to fit into!

McCain-Palin Plan Is Better for Coal

Wheeling, West Virginia
By the News-Register
POSTED: October 17, 2008

Candidates for vice president often offer excellent windows into what their running mates, those seeking the presidency, really think. Comments by Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Joseph Biden have been especially illuminating in regard to the coal industry.

Palin, who is Sen. John McCain's running mate, visited Belmont County on Sunday. Members of the large crowd who attended her rally made it clear where they stand on coal.

"Mine, baby, mine," they chanted.

Palin agreed with them. "We have more coal in this country than there is oil in Saudi Arabia," she noted. "The question is, why aren't we using it?"
In speeches and, sometimes, in conversations with individuals, Palin has made it clear that she understands the need to use more coal in the United States. McCain himself favors development of "clean coal" technology. Clearly, he, too, recognizes the need to make as much use of coal as possible. The alternative, continuing reliance on foreign oil, simply is not realistic.

Sen. Barack Obama, running against McCain, also claims to be a proponent of clean coal technology. But during a September campaign stop elsewhere in Ohio, his running mate, Biden, made it crystal clear that he does not like coal.

"We're not supporting clean coal," Biden told a woman. "No coal plants here in America," he added.

Since then, Biden has attempted to backtrack. During his appearance this week in Belmont County, he attempted to portray himself and Obama as friends of coal.

And during the televised debate between Palin and himself, Biden claimed his earlier statement, "We're not supporting clean coal," was taken out of context.

No, it was not. Too many East Ohio and Northern Panhandle residents have watched and listened to the video tape of Biden's September statement in Ohio. What he said was very, very clear - in any context. To suggest otherwise is to insult the intelligence of voters.
We believe the Obama claim to support clean coal technology is more window-dressing than reality. He recognizes that, should he be elected president, ultra-liberals in Congress would reject anything more than token funding for coal.

Thanks in part to Biden, voters who understand how badly the United States needs to increase its reliance on coal have a clear-cut choice: Either McCain/Palin, where progress is quite possible - or Obama/Biden, where it is no more than a throwaway campaign promise.

Sarah Palin: A New Kind of Leader



Product Description
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin s nomination as vice presidential candidate by John McCain not only changed the landscape of the current election, but also marked a shift in leadership style across our country. Exploring themes from her career in politics, her life as a hockey mom, and her strongly held Christian Faith, this book explores the leadership principles that made Palin successful.

From the Back Cover
Our present era demands a new style of leadership that transcends political affiliation and party lines. In an age that values relationship over authority and instant information over accuracy, breadth of knowledge and depth of conviction are prized commodities. Governor Sarah Palin (R—Alaska) brings both of those qualities to her new role as candidate for the vice presidency of the United States. Her familiarity with a broad range of issues and her strong moral center are just two of the leadership traits that have allowed Palin to organize and focus her efforts in elected office. Exploring themes from her career in politics, her life as a hockey mom, and her strongly held Christian faith, author Joe Hilley’s biographical leadership study of Sarah Palin explores the leadership principles that have catapulted her into the national spotlight and explains how she models a fresh paradigm of leadership that will guide our nation through the 21st century.
