Governor Sarah Palin

Governor Sarah Palin

Did you see her? Did you see Governor Palin in chest waders pulling a net full of fish? This all-American woman who can fell a moose with a high-power rifle, work a fish net (can you just imagine Jackie Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt or Michelle Obama pulling a fish net?), run a huge state as Governor, deal with lying cheating politicians, and all with a kid on her hip, and yet, still find time to look like a woman. Sarah Palin reminds me of the original All-American woman, the quintessential pioneer woman of the plains, multi-tasking with her husband to help build a home and family in the wilderness. You would think an original like Sarah Palin would be celebrated by press and mainstream media, but think again, how Governor Palin has been treated by the mainstream media and the agents of personal destruction is a total embarrassment for this magnificent country. For example, the following is just one example of the multitude of nastiness that has been written about Sarah Palin. This particular piece was written by Paul Lewis Hackett and published in the Daily Kos on 12 Sept 2008, to wit:
“The message (would be) simple and the professionals can refine it but essentially it should contain these elements: Sarah Palin? Can't keep her solemn oath of devotion to her husband and had sex with his employee. Sarah Palin? Accidentally got pregnant at age 43 and the tax payers of Alaska have to pay for the care of her disabled child. Sarah Palin? Unable to teach her 16 year old daughter right from wrong and now another teenager is pregnant. Sarah Palin? Can you trust Sarah Palin and her values with America's future?”
If you have been reading my pieces posted on Bangingthedrum, you will remember that I have fearlessly made two predictions in the past:
1. The economy will tank during the late summer period of 2009 when the cascade of job losses and funny money begin to have their full impact.
2. The Educated Idiots in Washington will complete their mastery over the home of the brave and the land of the free when they enact a National Sales Tax either in the form of a VAT Tax or one taken at the cash register.
I will make a 3rd prediction and this one concerns Sarah Palin. I believe that Palin will run for the office of President in 2012 and do it after organizing a new political party that will probably be called “The Independent Party”. Think about it. Most people are coming around to the notion that there is really no difference between the Democratic and Republican parties because most of the politicians associated with the two major parties are in reality Professional Politicians only interested in personal power. The Pew Research Center indicates that people identify themselves with the political parties in roughly the following manner: 1/3 Democratic, 1/3 Republican and 1/3 Independent. This make up of political identification has been rapidly changing lately. It is now approximately ¼ Democratic, ¼ Republican and ½ Independent. Now when you consider that the conservative base of the Republican Party and the Blue Dog Democrats are basically of the same political persuasion and the fact that these political elements are becoming increasingly “out of step” with their party leadership, I believe you have the same opportunity available now as when the Wigs morphed into the Republican Party due to the issue of slavery. The issue now is Constitutional America or Socialist America. I believe that these political elements would probably jump at the opportunity to be associated with an a new political party that represents basic American Constitutional values and if they joined with those identified as Independents, you would have a new Political Party with a considerable majority. All in all, a rare opportunity for a patriot with vision and the will to go down the road less traveled. Sure sounds like Sarah Palin to me. Well, let’s just sit back and see what happens.
