Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You

JFK had a great line, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."  No democrat could say that line today and get elected.  They have worked to develop a constituency that would reject that rhetoric.  Conservatives now own that statement and there is much that we can do for our country and the time is now.

We are watching as the reelection of Barack Obama is happening in front of us.  We have fielded a collection of candidates that are not up to the task of defeating him.  In each debate, another candidate bites the dust, but rather than recognizing their death and withdrawing, the rotting corpses remain to demonstrate their lifelessness another day.

We must go into action to do something for our country.  We must let Gov. Palin know that the country's future is in her hands.  She must know that the will of God is being revealed in this primary process.  The candidates are being revealed and the truth is being revealed.  The truth is that Gov. Palin was, all along, the only conservative capable of getting the nomination.

We don't need candidates (Perry) that can't remember their own platform.  We don't need candidates (Cain) who  when on the government tab, orders $800 worth of wine at dinner.  What would he do with ultimate power?  We don't need candidates (Gingrich) who make global warming commercials with Pelosi even if they regret it later.   We don't need candidates (Huntsman) who should be democrats.  We don't need candidates (Romney) who can't decide what they believe in.  And we don't need any copycats.

We need Gov. Sarah Palin, a proven conservative, with a solid record of honesty and reform.  Tell her we need her.  Tell talk radio we need her.  Tell the RNC we need her.  Tell your local newspaper we need her.  It's no time to be bashful.  Tell your elected officials.  It's no time to be proud.  We need her to defeat not only Obama, but the socialist future that he has in store for your children.

No decision is ever final given the changing landscape.  Those that believe she decided and that's that, are living in a black and white world.  The world situation changes, the political landscape changes, and family concerns change.  Gov. Palin is watching these changes and you can make the difference by telling her how they are affecting your world.  Drop her a line, it's something you can do for your country.

We have only a short time left to save the nation from four more years of Obama.

 

Cronyism About to Explode

All of us are trying to get our heads around the overall picture of the race for the White House and how Sarah Palin fits in.  If we listen carefully, we notice some consistencies and some inconsistencies that are very telling. 

Starting around Sept 1st, Gov. Palin began focusing on "crony capitalism".  Now, she may have used the words before that, but not as a central theme of her speeches.  At the same time the phrase, "I'm not for sale" began to be used.  Since Sept. 1st, she has been consistent in her use of these themes.  Around the same time, the Solyndra fiasco being only the tip of the iceberg also became a part of her speeches.

What is inconsistent is the October 5th decision.  Why should she be railing against crony capitalism if it means taking down people on her own team who are trying to defeat Obama?  Why would anyone care if she can't be bought if she's not running for anything?

Sept. 1st was a turning point in the Palin campaign.  It was the point where a strategy was developed on how to proceed and what her campaign was going to be about and how it would be differentiated from the other candidates. 

Now we learn that her adviser, Peter Schweizer has a book coming out on Nov. 15th called "Throw Them All Out: How politicians and their friends get rich off insider stock tips, land
deals, and cronyism that would send the rest of us to prison."   We also know that Jack Abramoff's book, "Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth About Washington Corruption from America’s Most Notorious Lobbyist", is coming out next week and will get "60 Minutes" coverage.  There is every reason to believe that Peter would have shared his work with Gov. Palin.  Although she would probably not have dealings with Abramoff, pre-pubs of his book have been  released to media and it would be reasonable that she would have been able to get access to it. 

Steve Bannon and Andrew Breitbart have also indicated that they are working on projects more controversial than "The Undefeated"  that will break about a month before the Iowa caucus.  It is believed these involve corruption in government. 

We know that if any of the allegations in the various books and videos involve any of the Republican candidates, the media will tear them apart.  Gov. Palin likely knows who the allegations will involve.  She may be the cleanest politician in history.  She has never had to get involved in the party machinery to get elected.  She has always run against the machine.  She may be the only governor ever elected, with the possible exception of Jesse Ventura, who didn't have to get their hands dirty raising money or dealing with party bosses. 

So how do we explain the October 5th decision?  When the revelations come out in November, all candidates will be examined thoroughly.  By coming in from the outside, Gov. Palin becomes an honest solution and you can bet she will have a plan to clean up D.C.  She misses very little by losing out on NH, SC, and FL.  There will be plenty of delegates remaining to win the nomination.  So, was her decision solely strategic?  Probably not.  Her family probably did have some reservations and certainly finances would have been considered.  An honest politician running a campaign against corruption and depending on voter contributions won't have to worry about receiving them. 

The next couple of weeks will tell the story.  The Herman Cain story will have played out.  The corruption books will impact and Gov. Palin will be sitting in the catbird seat.
