The Right Scoop
"The lame stream media" come on Sarah, we get it... you don't accept criticism well and have difficulty defending yourself which is why you only resort to Fox news since your debacle w/ Katie Couric.
If Palin would take it back to her bipartisan days of governing maybe the media wouldn't be "lame", you can't be in the white house acting like a 5 year old with all the name calling.
That being said though...more independents and possibly even liberals are more likely to vote for a Ron Paul or a Gary Johnson in the general elections than for a Sarah Palin.
The sidekick-anchors put the word "UNFLIPPINGBELIEVABLE" up on the screen.
Refudiate was named Oxford American Dictionary word-of-the-year 2010, she's no ordinary wordsmith to have that honour influence to make it to Oxford American Dictionary.

Sure, if there's one thing she surely understands.
I dunno, I've just never heard of a nation that has vast natural resources that they refuse to tap. I get excited about the idea of putting the USA in the driver's seat on oil instead of us kowtowing to Arab nations with our hat in our hands.
we have the resources - the USA. the LEFT WING nut libratards do NOT want use to use them.
Right AFTER WW2 it was decided (FDR/Congress) to use up the REST of the worlds oil first IF they would SELL it to US CHEAP. They DID until the 70's when the left took control of the DemocRAT party. This IS one of the MAIN reasons we are in the mess we are in now.
DRILL BABY DRILL!!!!
the BIG LIE.

Yet the United States is sitting on the world's largest untapped oil reserve. A natural resource that would not only mitigate the over $400 Billion sent overseas to other countries but could create untold millions of jobs and put the country on a sound financial footing.
The untapped reserves are estimated up to 2.3 Trillion barrels, nearly three times the reserves held by the OPEC countries and sufficient to meet 300 years of demand, at today's levels -- for auto, truck, aircraft, heating and industrial fuel, without importing a single barrel of oil.
The US could become the single largest exporter of oil and oil related products in the world, thus potentially eliminating its trade deficit, and increasing the national standard of living as well as making a massive dent in the national debt.
Here is a look at some of the largest untapped reserves:
The Bakken Fields in North and South Dakota. New drilling and oil recovery technology is making the capture of this oil feasible and some development is now underway. It is estimated that there is at least 200 Billion barrels of oil in this region. At a price of $100 per barrel the value of this find is $20 Trillion.
The Outer Continental shelf. It is estimated that around 90 billion barrels of oil sit beneath the ocean bed 50 to 100 miles off the shore of the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts. The value: $9 Trillion.
The Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. About 10 billion barrels are locked up here with a current value of $1 Trillion.
Tar Sands: Around 75 Billion barrels of oil could come from these areas which are similar to the Canadian tar sand fields and which now produce about 2 million barrels per day. The value: $7.5 Trillion
Oil Shale. This is the most massive area of potential oil production in the world with an estimated 1.5 Trillion barrel potential. The technology necessary to extract this oil is now in place and being operated on a pilot project basis. The value of this resource: $150 Trillion
There also the very real potential that further finds will be discovered as technology continues to improve.
In total the value of the potential oil reserves of the United States listed above exceeds $187 Trillion. The current national debt is $14.2 Trillion or less than 8%.
Despite the protestation of President Obama and the environmentalists the world and particularly the United States is not running out of oil. Their foolish tilting at windmills and solar will never produce energy sufficient to operate a $14Trillion and hopefully growing economy. It will be decades if not the rest of the 21st Century before any meaningful substitute for fossil fuels will be developed and additional time and investment will then be necessary to distribute the product.
THAT'S the kind of money I'm talking about! Heck, even if it's way overestimated, it's still an "unflippingbelievable" amazing resource.
Closing thought: in regards to not tapping these reserves on the grounds of environmentalism, why is it OK to wreck some other part of the world's environment in order to protect our own? It's ridiculous on the face of it.

The Obamatrolls are already using the phrase "right wing social engineering" in their vitriolic comments.
I noticed one even using 'right_wing_engineer' as their new net-name to post under.
Newt gave the Left a huge gift with that gaffe.
And they have only just begun to use it against us.
Boy, about the only thing I disagree with SPalin in the Boling interview is her willingness to place faith in the GOP to get a candidate to compete with Obama. They've annoyed me so much I've considered going (I) instead of (R).
And her comment on energy independence. Wow! Can you imagine if we could MAKE money on EXPORTING oil???? OMG! What a thought!
Jaynie did Sarah P steal an old boyfriend away from you or what, you really have it in for this woman, so get over yourself. I'll tell you whats happening, Sarah is waiting for all the deadbeats to drop off, then in her own good time will announce her plans to run. I have a slight feeling this will make you very very happy, just saying.
There is a vast difference between rigorous debate on policy issues and Alinsky's scheme of personal attack, and I think you know the difference?
JournoList-concerted dirty scheme was debunked, MSM Alinsky s@#tstorm will be no less difference to any other conservatives or Tea party candidates. On the other hand, there're counter-LSM "voice of Righteous Indignation" which're absence in 2008. SP is right, that conservative candidates need to tread careful and choose media platform wisely; not to give credence and countenance to LSM talking points to define the candidate and dictates the agenda of the day.
The scenario now is completely different than that in 2008, where Sarah Palin essentially had both of her hands tied behind her back in the campaign, having a mole in the team:-) Mccain advisor Nicole Wallace, thrown her into the snake pit with Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson in her debut media interview. The LSM was given the time&space to defined and tainted her in conjunction with Journolist.
Throughout the whole campaign, Mccain campaign advisor John Weaver prety much muzzed her and throwed her under the bus. Alas, many today are still been conditioned by the LSM propaganda.
Today, Sarah Palin is not the same candidate as was in the 2008. She is an experienced, seasoned, polished politician adroit in media handling and policy issues. Recently BillO got a taste of a rude-surprise, with his usually demeanor when he tried to undermine Sarah Palin with his condescending attittude:-) BOOM! taste my nightstick! The expression on BillO face was priceless.
Thanks RS, for posting the interview with Eric Boling.
Even though it was shorter than the one with Hannity...it seemed like she wasn't on her guard like she was with Hannity.
Maybe it's just me...but her whole demeaner seemed different with Bolling.
I loved it that she got that little dig in about having to fend off attacks from "both sides of the isle", in the Hannity piece.
Heh.
And I don't blame her one bit for waiting to announce if she's going to run.
These pundits just want some fresh meat to chew on.
Go Sarah!
Aye, I always sense that she is 'guarded' with Hannity, and no wonder.
The interview with Mr. Boling... well done, good stuff.
NOTE: Did anyone else notice what his co-anchors were doing in the background, when visible?
Sackett
Okay, I watched it again....what did I miss?
:)
I have to confess that last night I was listening and looking away at times, when this was on.
You mean other than grinning from ear to ear?
I'll have to watch it again.
And yeah, with Hannity it seems like she's talking with a varmit who's going to bite her at any minute.
All of this stuff you mention is exactly why she's my 3rd place as opposed to completely dismissable.
Stossel actually made that very same point. Leave voting to wiser minds one might say. That's not to say that you or I are smarter. It's just that we actually bother to know what's going on around us instead of being stuck on Jersey Shore and American Idol.
Ever wonder why the left encourages more people to vote. To them, its about turnout. The more dumb indoctrinated brainless voters in the booths, the better.
Not about limelighting? She's been busy with other things lately...but up till now...she's practically been doing nothing BUT limelighting and training herself in Fox's safety net to deal with a media which is going to be much tougher on her...which in my opinion will fail miserably because as Odin pointed out...those people are done with her and won't even listen to a word she says.
The independents aren't going to see her as being her truly Libertarian-Leaning Conservative self, but more so as just a moose-shooting Republican monster.
Yall say that Paul wouldn't have a chance...but when you look outside the old guard conservative box...Palin's WAY LESS likely to win the votes of people OTHER THAN the Rs.
Yes...this is yet another argument that I should've made about Cain earlier because it ALSO applies to HIM.
I'm replying to myself because the edit feature doesn't work. You folks have to think about who's going to actually have any kind of appeal to those outside the "R" faithfuls.
So far...all my liberal and independent friends who I've asked that question to have said either Ron Paul or Gary Johnson. A couple of them have said something like T. Paw or Romney...but absolutely none of them thus far have seen through Gingrich's flip-flopping BS.
just don't trust the people in the middle, people who don't listen to talk
radio, who don't watch fox news, who dont visit sites like these...there are
millions of them out there, and hate to say it but they get thier news from the
lamestream media and in this media palin is pretty much done. These drones hate
palin more than obama and they wont vote for palin even if the economy is slower
than a sloth.
I was worried about the same issue. Then I started thinking, do I really think Romney would stand a better chance of winning this race with the media so viciously leftist/communist today? I mean, the guy is alright, but he is no Sarah Palin.
He and the other RINO's will fight just like McCain - tepid, boring, constantly acting as if nothing unusual is afoot! They will lose just like McCain. I do not know - if all we have as a campaign strategy is "Go with the RINO to capture the centrist vote!", haven't we really already lost the war?
Think about it, Reagan won on his charisma. Charisma and a positive economic outlook for the future are the platform issues that resonate the most. It is up to conservatives to get involved. We need a reason to get involved. Sarah is a reason - Romney is a slower train to the same location as Zero is headed!
I know people been feeling the hots for allen west but i truly believe that he wants to be in congress representing his constituents, but a friend of mine sent me a suggestion VP choice for Sarah Palin, figures she's an outsider (literally) why not pair her with another outsider? Luis Fortuno, Governor of Puerto Rico, pop. 4 mil, heres more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Fortu%C3%B1o Fortuno can truly be of help with our spanish speaking citizens. Just a though.
"With "friends" like Eric Erickson, who needs enemies?" exactly what he means, as soon someone begs to differ with Palin her hardcore supporters will come and throw people under the bus and/or make them an enemy. well with patriots like that who needs enemies.
I know this may seem petty but I work in an extremely liberal enviroment and one of the many things I like about Palin IS the extreme, illogical, sputtering hatred my coworkers spew whenever her name is mentioned. It. Is. Astounding. You all remember the vitriol the left had for President Bush (and still does), that's going to be like a love affair compared to what we hear if Palin becomes President. It's going to be a HOOT!!
You're right about that. I had a chat with a coworker who was criticizing me over a political view, and I had to point out that she always said "F***ing Bush" when she said his name.
She was totally unaware that she even did so. At least she stopped doing it.
(gotta run, night all)
next time ask her to name the difference between bush and obama on major issues like wars,gitmo,patriot act,assinations,ect...
Dont forget the Amazon-NRA convention in Las Vegas ;) maybe i should have written it with more sarc /
The more I think about it, the more I want Sarah to run and the more I think the perfect ticket would be Sarah President with Alan West VP.
Sarah is the perfect focal point for conservatives. I am thinking of how the unfounded attacks on her would motivate the conservative electorate to action.
Sarah, if you are reading out there PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT! THIS COUNTRY NEEDS YOU. HISTORY NEEDS YOU!
And ask Allan West to join you. I think his constituents would understand.
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE GAMES AND THE SLOW PATH TO HELL LIBERALS ARE TAKING US TO! ITS TIME TO THROW DOWN! ITS TIME TO GO TO WAR!
I like Palin a lot, but I'd rather wait until the debates heat up to make up my mind. I like West more all the time, but my gut fear is that what he says is true: that he needs to wait and gain experience before trying to seek high office. He respects the office a darn sight more than the current occupant, I'm afraid.
Still, I think that if Gov. Palin made good headway and called for Mr. West to join her, he'd do so.
That is why I think West would be a great VP. Gives him time to get his feet wet. Then we have him T'd up and experienced for a Presidential run down thr road! Best of both world.
I am dissapointed with the current line-up of RINOs, unknowns, and unelectables. Conservatives need another Reagan. Palin-West is pretty darn close.
As long as the man is anywhere in government it makes me happy! I would like to see him become President some day although I understand how he would want to first get a little experience in a somewhat easier position.
Being President is not a role one should take lightly - it is the ultimate lightning rod for criticism.
That is why I really want Sarah to run. She has already run the gauntlet
and she's bruised and bloodied, but still fight'n!
Most of her problems were the result of her being green on a national stage, being a tough woman conservative, and I think more than any other factor, the result of McCain holding her back. He and his crew were like a weight chained to her ankle. You could see during the campaign that she wanted to come out swinging, but McCain would have none of that.
West has indicated that, if he is to be honored with higher office, he'd like to be Speaker of the House.
