Good Morning Palin Patriots,

There has been an uptick of trolls infecting our site and I fear it is only going to get worse.  Let’s all try to adopt the IGNORE and FLAG philosophy.  Do not engage or answer these people. Just FLAG them.  This is a PRO PALIN site. 

And mods, do your job.  Those of us who come here, do so because it is the one place where we can support Sarah without the constant hate filled bashing of her.  Let this be a Soros, LSM, looney left, establishment , free zone when it comes to those posting.  

Sarah Palin 2012

Apparently Kraut doesn’t believe we should kick Congressman Weiner when he is down but thinks it is okay to kick Sarah on a daily basis.  

All together now, “Kraut is a misogynist a$$.”

I really think he needs counseling.

Yesterday I wrote that if the ordinary barbarians and Palinistas could do one thing only and well over the course of the GOP primary campaign it would be to impress with the strongest advocacy on whoever you engage, assuming he or she is a potential GOP primary voter, whether it be family, friends, neighbors, club associates, acquaintances, work colleagues or anybody you see on a regular basis as part of your life routine, that the GOP presidential primary race is now and will be a two person showdown between Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin and that only one of those two candidates has any chance of walking away with the nomination next year.

I will now say when you adopt such an intractable personal attitude or such a firm political position, you will most likely encounter tremendous resistance to this idea from many quarters, as any inventor or creative genius in the past would in meeting with stiff resistance from authorities when he or she proposed a new or improved method of approaching a subject, wanted to being clarity or rectitude to an issue, or improve the efficiency of what now was being performed inefficiently or not with the utmost efficiency. 

Simply, nobody likes to be forced or feel forced to change due to changing circumstances. It is always much easier to procrastinate, rationalize, or hold out false hope like a child begging his or her dead parent to open his or her eyes one more time.

Let me offer you 5 possible reactions you might receive from those you engage:

1) They will tell you your logic is flawed, that it is still too early in the primary season to make that type of judgment or that the polls are meaningless at this point.

Answer: The decision of Mike Huckabee to bow out of the race changed the lay of land fundamentally. Except for Mitt Romney bowing out there is nobody currently in the field who has the potential to make that type of splash or impact again in this election cycle. In other words, taking Sarah Palin out of the equation for the time being, the dynamic of the race is pretty well set: Mitt Romney leading the rest of the field by double digits and the second-tier candidates jockeying among themselves who will finish second to Romney. Under these circumstances, Romney is certain to be the nominee. How do you feel about that? If they say great, then there is nothing more to be said. If they suggest one of the second tier candidates can move up, refer them to the pollinsider.com piece posted yesterday on why Palin is the only candidate capable of “derailing Romney” because they simply do the not have the wherewithal to compete financially or the ground game to compete with Romney who has spent the last 2+ years getting his ducks in a row. Being behind Romney by 15 points is just too much of a deficit for any of them to overcome.

2) As I mentioned yesterday someone who has brand loyalty to a product or service is very difficult to sell or convert. And in politics, a committed supporter to a candidate and especially a supporter who has donated to the candidate will be hard to convert on one meeting and you will most likely be rebuffed.

Answer:  I would suggest that you plant the seed and then get back to the person at a later date to see how they perceive the race then or you never know one day several months later the light might go one and you will either get a phone call or a text message that he or she now wants to talk about becoming a Palinista. That is why it is important to sow the seeds regardless if you are initially successful or not.

3) Sarah Palin is NOT running or is NOT a viable candidate

Answer; Again go back to your original premise. Do you want Romney to be the GOP nominee in 2012?  If they say no, then explain to them why Sarah Palin is the only alternative. Here is where you have to have the polling data at your disposal, why Sarah Palin is the only alternative to Romney and explain the tea leaves to why you are sure she is running. 

As to how viable a candidate she is, one good point to mention is that nobody else in the field is as viable as she is to oppose Romney: fundraising ability, organization (O4P), grassroots support and ability to grow exponentially and having all her ducks in a row,

4) I like another conservative candidate

Answer: Explain the stalking horse-concept and vote splitting and that if you vote for Romney (door #1) or vote for another conservative besides Palin (door #2) you will still get Romney. And the only way to ensure you do not get Romney as the nominee is you must vote Palin. It is a Hobson’s choice for those who oppose Romney. 

Yes many people you talk to in these stark terms will get upset at you for saying it and might even accuse you of being presumptuous but there is an old saying no risk, no reward.

Accept the fact you will not get through to everyone but if you make the proper argument on conservative vote splitting and stalking-horses and show how it would cause Romney to come up the middle and prevail, I do believe some folks will eventually have to agree your logic is sound although they are fighting it as well, wanting to hold out hope Bachmann, Cain or Santorum will catch on.

Of course you know they won’t and I would suggest that you say to the person, when you realize they don’t have any chance of beating Romney to give you a call or think seriously about entering Palin’s tent.

5) I don’t like Palin; I think she is damaged goods

Answer: Always go back to the question: Do you want Romney to get the nomination?

Because if you don’t, you only have one choice and one choice only. You must vote for Sarah Palin despite the fact you have misgivings or reservations about her. Vote any other way and Mitt Romney wins the nomination. 

Again people will fight you on this and say it isn’t fair that the nomination has come down to this proposition. 

Tell them life isn’t fair and just because you are a Palinista, it doesn’t change the facts. It is what it is!  Sure Palin is not your favorite conservative and you might think she is “damaged goods” but hey you don’t have to vote for her until 2012–you will have a fair opportunity to see her in action–it’s not like you’re buying a pig in a poke. And guarantee to them they will feel better about their decision to reluctantly support Palin once she has gone through the rigors of a campaign and after watching her on stage engaging her competitors in debates.

Believe me I know many people will offer great resistance to your supposition when you first propose it. But regardless, if you can make the point over and over again that the GOP presidential race is now a two-person showdown between Romney and Palin, I do believe you will hit paydirt more often than you will not especially if the person you are talking to loathes Romney or Romneycare and understands with Romney at the helm in 2012 it is most likely a 3rd party will arise or like in 2008 with McCain millions of conservatives will stay home rather than vote for the ticket.

Morning everyone …

When The Undefeated comes out … I plan on taking every RINO and Independent I know to see the movie with me.  Those who show interest of course, and want to open their minds a little.  I will not waste my money on hardened Leftists who think Trig had another mother.

I will pay for it, and later buy them beers to discuss it.  This will be my contribution to change the hearts and minds of those hardened by the media attacks.

Plus, who can say no to a free night out?

Edit:
We all should “adopt” a RINO or Indie. I have quite a few … its not fun, but I would describe it as a parent with a teenager … lots and lots of growing pains.

Dems and Rinos have no idea the money Sarah will generate when she announces. I believe the TP and middle America is waiting with open purses for Sarah.  My wife and I have vowed to each other, from the day of her announcement to her election, one hundred per month,  We are just two people.  There are millions out there just waiting like us.

From the article -

In April 2009, just a few months before Palin resigned her Governorship, she gave a speech, in which she seemed to be warming up to some GW solutions:

“Many believe that in order to mitigate these long term and systematic changes it will require a national and global effort to decrease the release of human produced greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. However, simply waiting for low carbon emitting renewable capacity to be large enough will mean that it will be too late to meet the mitigation goals for reducing CO2 that will be required under most credible climate change models, including the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) modeled scenarios”
————

The author didn’t interpret these statements correctly. Her point was that these attempts to curtail emissions are futile to “reducing global warming” even by the emission-curtailers own standards since they couldn’t even meet their own model requirements. Show me where she then goes on to say that we should enact cap and trade. It’s not there.

The committee she put together as Governor was to study climate change and to address any affects it would have on Alaska. Climate does change. Ask Greenland. The idea that man contributes to it she adopted because she was VP.
