    Good Morning C4P, Please Run Sarah!!

    But electing Hillary will continue the downward direction that Obama has America moving in, can’t blame it on Obama 100% because of voters that were eager for socialism.

    Good morning all.

    Some interesting articles.

    Steve Biegun :"I’ve worked in Washington for 20 years, on the Hill, in the White House and in the private sector, and she ranks at the highest levels of decency, kindness and graciousness of anybody I’ve ever worked with.”

    Scheunemann :"She was incredibly intelligent. She asked very informed questions"

    Chris Saxman :"In my opinion, Sarah Palin is the most genuine politician I have ever met. For all that was circling around Gov. Palin at the time (the time on which Game Change is based), she was as calm and serene as you could ever imagine. To me, that is personal strength."

    Ms. Ball : "If critics were hoping to see Palin revealed as a hypocrite, they’re out of luck," said Ms. Ball. "Her private statements are in line with her public ones."

    Tom Irwin: “She is a real leader, our governor is grounded in a fundamental of honesty, integrity, her faith and understanding of the Constitution. I’ve never seen her once, ever, come close to the bright line of wanting to violate those."

    FYI; "The M.Joseph Sheppard Post Report 05/15/15; Stephanopoulos Memory-Lib’s Spin/Palin’s 2016 Genius"

    Extract:

    "What this also might mean is that Governor Palin is a political genius. If she is planning to run (after her Daughter Bristol’s wedding) then by letting all the hopers and no hopers declare/rise/fall/bunch together the decks will be cleared for her announcement.

    Nobody has to "vet" her-the media having done their worst for seven years and she is utterly Teflon coated. If she announces, with nobody else of any name to follow and take the spotlight away her, the announcement will get massive publicity. The leftist haters will mock with "clown car" idiocy but they will railing to themselves as the public has moved on.

    Not only that, and ironically, the left has now trotted out their Clinton "sexist" card and will be forced to condemn the haters or be exposed as utter hypocrites. This is, of course, a delicious irony.

    If Palin chooses no to run she is also in the genius position of being the one person whose endorsement could make any one of the candidates break out of the bunch. That she can, and has done this, is beyond dispute as Senators Cruz/Fischer/Sasse/Ayotte can testify. Genius!"

    Stephanopoulos created the “war on women” theme by asking about contraception—inserting the talking point into the debate when nobody was discussing such issues.

      There’s quite a bit of shocking news in your link.

      Martha McSally (!) is THE RINO poster child. HOW IN THE WORLD did she end up on Mama Grizzly Radio with Kevin Sholla? How did she get endorsed by Gov. Palin?????https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Y4bW5UPSY This does not compute — what is going on??????

      She’s a woman and a veteran and ran as an R — MEANINGLESS. Never assume — it makes a you-know-what out of u & me. She should be a huge worry to Arizonans. If the "20″ are traitors, she is worse.

      "Brooks’ amendment, which stripped from the NDAA language that was inserted during the Armed Services Committee markup by Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) —a freshman liberal Democrat who wants to amnesty all the illegal aliens in America—passed the House of Representatives 221-202 on Thursday evening. . .

      Gallego’s amendment would have allowed illegal aliens who have received President Obama’s first executive amnesty—the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which some 800,000 or so illegal aliens have received—to enlist in the United States military. It would have come with an NDAA that reduces America’s force size—meaning the NDAA would have, if it weren’t for the Brooks amendment bolstered by conservatives like Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Dave Brat (R-VA) among others, put illegal aliens ahead of Americans. What’s more, it would have used a defense bill—rather than an immigration bill—to do it. . .

      The six Republicans who voted for the Gallego amendment in Armed Services markup are: McSally, MacArthur, LoBiondo, Gibson, Coffman and Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT)" And then she went on to vote with the Democrats in favor of this amnesty! (and against the Brooks amendment which stripped the Gallegos amendment from the NDAA.)"

      Unbelievable — I keep going back to make sure I read it right. Unbelievable.

        McSally is another disappointment,how many just like her…? answer…Most of them we sent to DC in good faith,its they who lost the faith… :(

        • golfmom3

      • Guest

        What a shame another one bites the dust, McSally turned out to be a fraud, sad!

      • myfairlady

        She’s been put on the candidates who need protection for re-election list, the "Patriots Program". Which means the NRSCC is fundraising for her, and therefore her votes are controlled.

          Got a call from NRCC recently. Hung up the phone so fast they couldn’t get a word out.

          • myfairlady

            Hahaha!

      • Q

        Glad I never sent her a penny! My intuition was right again.

      • senator20526

        McSally is ex-military and ran in the district represented by Gabby Gifford…we were hoping she would be conservative, but guess not.

        • golfmom3

          So sorry ????

        • golfmom3

          I had a hunch and asked a young military man I know what he would guess the politics of currently serving female colonels or higher. "Oh, gosh. LIBERAL! Just think about when they enlisted and how they advanced. Way lib’ ".

          So there you go. You made no distinction between male and female ranked officers in your hopes. And your hopes were unmet. I guess that’s something for all of us to consider.

          • GeraldGoff

            every female officer (and enlisted) i have met worked their butts off to earn their advancements, to suggest otherwise does them a disservice.

            • golfmom3

              Why do you equate liberal with not working their butts off??? I said liberal. I didn’t think you of all people were that prejudiced. Liberal. Democratic.

              Gee. I’d never say anything like that, and I’m pretty pissed that you’d accuse me of that.
