More Quote of the Day Honorable Mention Part 349

“The Cure” Edition
*

Patrick S. Adams. at Patrick's World USA:
“In forging a winning coalition, there is a large and growing swath of voters that can be courted... If I had to give you an honest rough estimate... I'd have to tell you that there are about 25 million Americans either unemployed or underemployed. That's a lot of voters. Will all those people vote for Sarah Palin? No. Should they all vote for Sarah Palin? Yes. Ronald Reagan created 16.1 million jobs between 1981 and 1989. Now ask yourself, is something like this possible again if a President Palin removes regulatory burdens for businesses, reforms the tax code, reforms entitlements, repeals Obamacare and opens up energy drilling and exploration (where our real wealth is currently stored)? You friggin betcha it is. It's time to get the message out to the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs and homes because of the moronic policies of our leaders in Washington that if they channel their anger and their desire to restore America the right way, they can be a driving force behind ending the Obama sickness that has befallen our great nation. The cure for Obama sickness is Sarah Palin.”
Kunta Evans, at Random Alien Musings:
“Dear Sarah... I don't pretend to elevate you to an unreasonably high status...I simply see that you are uniquely equipped to lead us during a time perhaps like no other.”
Anthony James, at Tea Party Tribune:
“What really makes Sarah Palin so very special is that she really doesn’t want to go to Washington DC for the next four years to set about the Herculean feat of undoing the savage damage which the current administration will leave in its rancid wake. It’s just that she, like so many of us, understands that either she will do it or the very great chance exists that it will not get done. At the very least, it will not be done as well or as quickly as she would do it, and time is very much of the essence here. While it is not likely, I sincerely hope that Sarah Palin reads this... If you’re reading this Sarah, please run.”
Nicole Coulter, at Conservatives 4 Palin:
“Governor Palin herself has stated that she will announce her decision in either August or September. So, we’re looking at less than seven weeks maximum; but it could be any day now, right?”
James York, at American Thinker:
“Over the last three years, many Washington soothsayers have taken note of Mrs. Palin's consistent conservative credentials... while simultaneously and dismissively marveling at her nonchalant attitude toward conventionality. They often bemoan the ‘brazen’ way that she causes seismic shifts in the political terrain with the prose of a mere commoner (death panels), and I suspect they wince at the prospect of her next tweet or note. By now, the elites are numb to the feelings of shame, guilt, and awkwardness that have accompanied their endless attempts to molest the Palin family, but they are not yet accustomed to the sting of damaged pride. They despise intellectual humiliation more than almost anything, yet they continually do things that make their foolishness glaringly apparent. While no one should be surprised at the political prowess of the once-chief executive of the geographically largest state in the Union, many will continue to underestimate her and, in repeatedly writing her professional obituary, will ultimately pen their own.”
David Bozeman, at Net Right Daily:
“She could speak volumes about being on the receiving end of meanness, but she possesses the gall to fight back... If Sarah Palin is mean, this lowly foot soldier in the conservative movement says give me more.”
Andrew Malcolm, at Top of the Ticket:
“Now comes word that Sarah Palin will bring her famous, extremely patriotic ‘One Nation’ bus tour to the Heartland this week, allegedly for a visit to the Iowa State Fair... Palin's not scheduled to speak at the fair. Palin doesn't need no schtinking fair to speak. She's got her Facebook page with nearly 3.25 million fans listening. And her podium over at Fox. And the political celebrity can pretty much set up wherever she wants to park her political bus, and the crowd and media will flock over, even though she has yet to declare her intentions about a presidential candidacy. The latest leg of Palin's bus journey just happens to coincide with the arrival of a gazillion media people and a bunch of GOP presidential candidates for the Ames Straw Poll, just to the north of Des Moines up I-35. Thursday night there's a nationally-televised Republican debate on the Fox News Channel.”

Tony Katz, at Pajamas Media:
“According to The Iowa Republican.com, former Alaska Governor and 2008 Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be coming to Iowa on Friday. Craig Robinson, editor and publisher of The Iowa Republican.com, says that Palin’s reason for coming is, ‘Obviously, to make an impact on the field. She’s creating a bookmark that allows her to keep her options open for getting in to the race.’ PJTV is covering the Straw Poll, and all the action throughout Iowa. Be sure to check PJTV.com for video updates, and The Tatler for the latest breaking news from Iowa.”
Reuters:
“Tea Party activists interviewed by Reuters voiced most enthusiasm for former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who has been coy as to whether she will run.”
Jack Hunter, at Charleston City Paper:
“Prejudices and perceptions aside, The Undefeated leaves one with the impression that Palin is just as qualified to be president as the current one, flaws and all. I’ve never adored Sarah Palin and I’ve never abhorred Sarah Palin, but I’ve always been amused by those who do. This brings us to one of the most interesting parts of The Undefeated: the opening segment. This crude, somewhat paranoid, and downright cruel barrage of liberal criticism of Palin should be enough to make anyone, Left or Right, cringe. If the Left thinks Palin supporters are absurd, liberals should observe their silly selves when in full Palin-hatred mode — which is what The Undefeated allows us to do. Why the Left logically hates Palin becomes no clearer from this collage of liberal venom, just as why the Right loves Palin is made clear by the conservatives featured in the movie.”
Hollywoodland, at Big Hollywood:
“George Lopez, the left-wing comedian who recently made headlines after threatening to move to Canada should Governor Sarah Palin become president... is now just another unemployed statistic in his precious Obama’s failed economic ‘recovery.’... Lopez has floated the idea of entering politics. We at Big Hollywood look forward to that.”
Michael Gryboski, at Moore Common Sense:
“Back in November 2008, not long after the John McCain–Sarah Palin ticket failed to make it to the White House, an arsonist attacked a church. It was not just any place of worship, it was Palin’s home church in Wasilla, Alaska... Thankfully no one was hurt, however the arsonist remains at large. In the months leading up to the presidential election and the arson incident at the church, liberals in the media launched an intense campaign against Palin. Some of their remarks were valid criticisms; many of them were personal attacks. Among the anti-Palin army of journalists, columnists, commentators, and writers was Eugene Robinson. The examples of his opposition to Palin during the 2008 campaign were numerous.”
Matt Hadro, at NewsBusters:
“It's no secret that CNN's Jack Cafferty possesses a deep-seated loathing of Sarah Palin, and now that she may run for the Republican presidential ticket the grumpy CNN contributor has one more thing to grumble over.”
Mark Whittington, at Yahoo! News:
“Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin weighed in on the Standard & Poor's downgrade of American debt with a Facebook post that was a combination of an ‘I told you so’ and analysis of the problem, and a proposal for some solutions. In the post, Palin points out she warned the AAA rating of American public debt was in jeopardy as early as December 2010. With a slap at President Barack Obama's intellectual pretensions, she added, ‘One doesn't need a Harvard Law degree to figure this out!’ Indeed, Palin, whose college career has caused sniffing among intellectual snobs, has been proven more right than the Ivy League elite about the financial crisis that faces the United States, such as when she warned about the dangers of quantitative easing... Palin has yet to announce her intentions for the 2012 election. But it seems she is developing an agenda fit for a presidential candidate.”

“There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.”

“Lift Me Up” Edition

Jen Kuznicki:
“After reading this facebook note by Sarah Palin, I can envision a campaign for President that is upbeat and positive. The thing we are missing in politics lately is positive energy. It is so easy to get bogged down on what is going wrong, but this note both acknowledges the bad and reminds us of who we are... Palin said all of this in the note, that we are the best and the brightest, we are attentive, innovative, intelligent, and we know that we must defend America and bring it back from the brink. A Palin candidacy, with positive energy, would capture the hearts and minds of Americans, pick them up out of their doldrums and activate our passion for our country, our future, and our way of life. Run, Sarah, Run!”
Weasel Meister, at Weasel Zippers:
“A splash of cold water on a hot summer day.”
Andrew Malcolm, at Top of the Ticket:
“Palin dismissed accounting gimmicks and fake cuts in the ‘out-years’ as ‘Enron-like accounting games’ favored by the ‘permanent political class in D.C.’ She also called for Obama to cease his White House ‘happy talk’ about ‘investing in solar shingles and really fast trains.’ She urged her followers to get engaged in 2012 electoral politics and support ‘experienced vetted, pro-free market fiscal conservatives.’... Her statement came out as President Obama headed for the first of two high-dollar Democratic fundraisers in Washington...”
Joshua Green, a senior editor at left wing The Atlantic, via Twitter:
“FYI, Moody's raised Alaska's credit rating to AAA largely due to fiscal improvement under ...”
Whitney Pitcher, at Little Blog on the Prairie:
“Governor Palin was a frugal budgeter as the Governor of Alaska. During her tenure, she cut spending 9.5% while also vetoing nearly half a billion dollars in spending. She did this during strong economic times. It should be noted that in addition to the traditional budget and capital budget that states are responsible for implementing, state governors are also responsible for managing their state debts and liabilities. These are often tied to bonds (both state and municipal) and state worker pensions and the like... Compared to all other candidates and potential candidates, Governor Palin increased the debt at a much slower rate and reduced total liabilities at a much higher rate than any of her fellow governors.”
Jim Campbell, at We the People:
“Why Sarah Palin would make an outstanding president...”
Bill Hughes, at New Jersey for Sarah Palin:
“New Jersey is about as blue as you can get politically... Palin's weakest area of the country should be the northeast given her ideology. And yet, she maintains the same favorability rating as Mitt Romney, who is not only ideologically better suited for blue New Jersey, but also hails from this region of the country. She has a higher rating than Bachmann, Cain and Pawlenty, all of which have been campaigning for some time... Governor Palin has a real shot at winning the New Jersey GOP primary. A victory here would virtually ensure that Palin is the GOP nominee to face off against Barack Obama in November.”
Vassar Bushmills, at Unified Patriots:
“Why does Sarah Palin sound like a Leader, and Michelle Bachmann doesn’t?”
Walter Hickey, at Open Secrets blog:
“Former governors Tim Pawlenty and Sarah Palin, along with Romney, have made far more donations in support of their political brethren than the other GOP presidential candidates... Palin, an undeclared but potential presidential contender, was the runner up when it came to gross donations, contributing $466,500 to 95 campaigns via her leadership PAC, which is called SarahPAC... Palin’s SarahPAC accounted for 28 percent of the money donated by presidential hopefuls, and she was also the top donor to 27 percent of all campaigns, compared to all her presidential rivals... Palin even out-spent Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) on his son Rand Paul’s successful U.S. Senate campaign in Kentucky. Palin’s leadership PAC donated $7,000 to the younger Paul, while the elder Paul’s leadership PAC donated $4,720.”
Michael O'Brien, at The Hill's Blog Briefing Room:
“Palin distributed $65,000 to candidates during the first half of this year... The contributions were unsolicited and unheralded, according to the lawmakers who received the donations and their campaign committees.”
AWR Hawkins, at Big Journalism:
“While speaking at the Washington Area Community Center’s Lessons for Leaders (Washington, IL) on August 6, Coach Mike Ditka lambasted the mainstream media (MSM) and heaped praise on Gov. Sarah Palin... Ditka has offered up a strong defense of Palin before... Of course, I don’t recall hearing Chris Matthews, Matt Lauer, or anyone in the MSM mention Ditka’s kind words for the Governor in 2010 (nor do I remember them making fun of him for being a Republican)... Come to think of it, I don’t recall hearing them talk about Ditka’s kind words for Palin on the campaign trail in 2008 either. (I’ve got a feeling Matthews, Lauer, and Olbermann would rather pick fights with people who don’t fight back, and they all know Ditka isn’t the type to just shut up and take it. That’s why they fear him and that’s why we love him.) That’s also why we love Palin.”
Coach Ditka, via the Peoria Journal Star:
“I understand Sarah Palin spoke here last year. I admire her. She's a great lady, mother and wife, and that's more important than the (expletive) the media spreads about her.”
The Associated Press, via WOAI-TV:
“Two Fox News analysts say that their comments about going easy on fellow Fox employee Sarah Palin were a joke. Fox's Greg Gutfeld and Bob Beckel both say they weren't serious when discussing Palin on Wednesday's edition of The Talk, the network's summer replacement for Glenn Beck... The only on-air suggestion it was a joke came when Beckel followed up his comment by criticizing Palin for taking on critics of the tea party. Beckel says that nobody at Fox had ever asked him to go easy on anyone, adding that ‘I'd punch them out if they did.’”
DivaCindy, at Gossip Divaz:
“Considering that Mercede Johnston’s whole career is based on the fact that her brother had a baby with Bristol Palin, I find this vomit-spewing Playboy interview disgusting.”
Patrick S. Adams, at Liberty's Lamp:
“American history has shown us glaring examples of how unbridled conservatism has always been the antidote for the statist sickness whenever it befalls our nation. Ronald Reagan gave us the blue print the last time this happened. Sarah Palin knows that blueprint. There is a sense of faith that our future is bright despite the current indicators. Sarah Palin's words continue to burn bright. ‘With hope and dedication nothing is impossible, and the Almighty never abandons those who seek the light.’ It may seem the darkest its ever been. It may look to be the lowest we've ever fallen domestically. But if you look off into the distance, the light does look brighter. Sarah Palin can bring us to that light. Her lamp of liberty guides our steps.”
Exit Quote - Ronald Wilson Reagan, in his Second Inaugural Address, Jan. 21, 1985:
“We are creating a nation once again vibrant, robust, and alive. There are many mountains yet to climb. We will not rest until every American enjoys the fullness of freedom, dignity, and opportunity as our birthright. It is our birthright as citizens of this great republic.”
