More Quote of the Day Honorable Mention Part 362

“Miracle” Edition
*


Michael Moriarty, at Big Hollywood:
“She is making The New World Order Establishment profoundly nervous. Hysterical actually. The ‘Whole Ballgame’, as The Progressives fear, would change with a President Sarah Palin! They all know it’s ‘all-or-nothing’ now! If a President Palin picks up where Ronald Reagan left off and resurrects a two-term, traditionally American policy to be followed by eight more years under, say, President Allen West, the ‘New World Order Ballgame’, as they say, would be over. Kaput! Gone! Never to re-infect America again... Obama will need 18 holes-in-one to defeat our inheritor of Winston’s Churchill’s and Ronald Reagan’s crown. To defeat Sarah Palin would require a miracle and God’s not handing them out to Marxists. Marxists say God doesn’t exist. We’ll see about that.”
VoterMom, at The Crawdad Hole:
“For someone who ‘isn’t running’, ‘isn’t serious’, and ‘can’t win’, Sarah Palin sounds remarkably statesman-like today.”
Peter Singleton, via Steve Deace:
“Those of us in the Palin grassroots base who are actively organizing on the ground do not expect Gov. Palin to announce her presidential run on the 3rd in Indianola. We are also not concerned about when and how she will announce her run. Why? We disagree with the premise, offered by pundits and activists repeatedly for many months, that the window is closing for Gov. Palin to get into the race. Perhaps in a normal cycle, with a traditional establishment candidate, this would be correct. But this is not a normal cycle. And Gov. Palin, should she run, will not run as an establishment candidate. All of the other candidates in the race, their rhetoric aside (and except for Ron Paul) are establishment candidates. Gov. Palin is not.”
Jedediah Bila, at The Daily Caller:
“Whether you’re supporting her for president or not, Sarah Palin is a woman who has been consistent, tough and principled.”
Dan Riehl, at Riehl World View:
“At some point Perry is going to have to start adding more substance to his image, or he's going to end up looking like all hat and no cattle in that regard... Unfortunately, he's also met with some resistance from different forces within the movement. Michelle Malkin represents one form of it, Goldberg another, and the Palin faithful are still holding out, while it looks ever more likely they will get their wish. Perry's base seems to be the South and perhaps Evangelicals, which is terrific, but significant portions of the establishment can't stand him and there's more anti-Perry oppo floating around in back channels than for any other candidate, with rumblings of more to come. His initial bounce may start to fade just as more attacks and possibly Palin head his way.”
Kevin Scholla, at SarahNet:
“Unlike Perry, Palin has a consistent, conservative record... Palin would excite the same Tea Party base that Bachmann is benefiting from, plus she'd attract other voters too because she has a record of running a state to stand on.”
Peter Ingemi, at Datechguy's Blog:
“To a culture that decided to use everything from drugs, to politics to the earth itself to fill the empty space that religion once held the achievement of those who came before towers over them. I suspect they dub their grandparents the ‘Greatest Generation’ because it excuses them from even attempting to achieve what their Grandparents & Great Grandparents did in much harder times. It’s why a person like Sarah Palin disgusts them so. She and people like her are a constant reminder of what they could have been but rejected.”
Dana Loesch, via Twitter:
“Why is it, @ESPN, that you censure Azinger for his remark on Obama's golf games but silent when Mayne wanted to hit car with Palin sticker?”
M. Catharine Evans, at American Thinker Blog:
“GOP pollster Frank Luntz might want to do something better with his time than shill for the Republican establishment. It's not very sane of Frank to cry there's no room at the table for Palin and in the same breath tell ABC's Jake Tapper there's a place for other candidates... In the meantime, regular Americans are watching this administration systematically decimate the economy, our liberties and the rule of law. Middle America may not know Palin's future plans, but after 3 years they trust she is on the people's team-where all faithful servants of ‘we the people’ should be. As usual the beltway elites miss the point.”
Mark America:
“Mrs. Palin embraces a reasonable foreign policy that neither rushes to war, nor shrinks from it when no other rational alternative remains when the US comes under direct threat.”
Mark America:
“Over the remainder of the period between now and the legal cut-off to entry in some states, around the middle of October, there will be endless attempts to try to goad Governor Palin into rash actions in support of the theme Rove first advanced... I even heard Mark Davis continue that theme, using the ‘thin-skinned’ smear while sitting in for Rush Limbaugh on Thursday. That isn’t accidental. Look for more of the same... Beware of some of those you had once thought to be friends. They will come out of the woodwork now, trying to join in the theme, on television, radio, and in blogs... It’s simple for us: We need only to oppose lies by revealing the truth. If Governor Palin intends to run, it’s clear that she’s said we’d know probably by the end of September. That’s good enough for me, and probably for you too, and nothing is served by further engaging these leeches directly. Like Sarah Palin has done, we need only to maintain discipline. So long as we do that, Rove and his cronies will fail.”
Jo, at Jo's Cafe:
“Yes, it was a hit piece and the ‘baby Palin’ remark was meant to harm, but in reality, if someone told me I was a lot like Sarah Palin in my beliefs, I’d thank them.”
Don Smith, at Parcbench:
“The story behind Sarah Palin Out of Nowhere is a classic tale of a man reacting to the world around him. It was a dark day when Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot, allegedly by Jared Loughner on Jan. 8, 2011. Immediately, the media and public officials blamed both the Tea Party Movement and Gov. Sarah Palin for Loughner’s alleged acts of lunacy. It was until a deeper dig of Loughner’s past turned up he had been indoctrinated by a world of socialism and anger. However, the finger pointing by the media at Palin could not be undone. But writer Frank Aquila was not about to let this go unchallenged. After a conversation with a friend, he sat down and wrote Sarah Palin Out of Nowhere... an amazing read.”
Renee Israel, at Gambling Kingz:
“Sarah Palin has not officially entered the race yet, but there is strong speculation that she will, leading to a flurry of bets.”
Patrick S. Adams, at Patrick's World USA:
“You didn't see Democrats hawking their candidates' flaws, did you? They stuck together. And because they stick together, they're capable of nominating and electing some of the most ridiculous candidates we've ever seen in American political history. So, Sarah Palin is unelectable? Are you friggin kidding me? I'm tired of being on a team of wimps, wussies and trembling tigers. Watching Karl Rove, Dick Morris and Erick Erickson do everything they can to drag down Sarah Palin's chances in the minds of feeble-minded readers and weak-kneed viewers tells me all I need to know about the conservative movement and the Republican Party... Back your candidate if it's not Sarah Palin. Vote your conscience. But don't be as intellectually dishonest as Democrats are and deny the reality of Sarah Palin's record, her viability, her work ethic and the historical parallels to how people in our movement were doing the same thing to Ronald Reagan in 1979.”

More Quote of the Day Honorable Mention Part 338

“Miracles” Edition

Ray Gross, via Barbaric Thoughts:
“A miracle happened in Orange, California last Friday night. I flew down to Orange to see the premiere of The Undefeated... I came down with a self-professed liberal Democrat named Keith. Of course I had to do a little bribing to get him to go. But to me it was worth it... As the credits rolled... Keith still hadn’t said a word to me.... On the way back to the hotel Keith began to talk. He talked about his disappointment in Obama... I never had heard him say anything negative about Obama, and I was taken off guard by that, but what came next really and truly stunned me. ‘I see real hope and change in Sarah Palin -- the kind I was hoping for in Barack Obama and did not get. This isn’t about Democrats and Republicans anymore; it’s about Americans coming together to take back the government from special interests and big corporations. And I think Sarah Palin is the only one who has the guts to try and to succeed.’ I dropped one more tear right then and there that night. I had just witnessed an actual miracle.”
Christian Toto, at The Washington Times:
“If you happened to hear something in the press this week about the new documentary ‘The Undefeated,’ chances are it was negative.”
Aubrey Vaughan, at NewsBusters:
“While Young does compliment the treatment of Palin's early time as governor, saying ‘it’s easy to forget that the first half of Palin’s governorship was marked by strong approval ratings and some significant legislative victories,’ the overall review rings of a writer who drew the short stick and begrudgingly had to see the documentary in a theater with moviegoers who ‘dug what they saw, showering the movie with applause at its conclusion.’”
Jim Ballew, at Rants for Reasonable People:
“So Mr. Weigel admits media and distribution play a large role, and then he proceeds to use a different standard to judge The Undefeated. Someone should revoke [his] laptop access code.”
John Nolte, at Big Hollywood:
“Compared to every other political documentary ever made… 1. ‘The Undefeated’ ranks as #15 in the all-time highest grossing debut category (and this includes Michael Moore’s unique hold on this category). However — and this is a mighty important however – nine of the films ranked above the Palin doc opened on more screens — in some cases, hundreds more. 2. On a comparative number of screens (less than 10), ‘The Undefeated’ enjoyed the fifth highest-grossing debut in the history of political documentaries. 3. Opening on a comparative number of screens (5 to 25), ‘The Undefeated’ enjoyed the sixth highest per-screen average in the history of political documentaries.”
Margo Papke, at KNXV-TV:
“The newly-released Sarah Palin documentary ‘The Undefeated’ will be available in more theaters around Phoenix starting this Friday.”
Jelayne Sessler, at Defending Sarah Palin:
“When I hear Sarah Palin speak or when I think of all she has accomplished despite her detractors, naysayers, enemies and ordinary road blocks; it ignites a passion in me. Sarah Palin has such an unswerving love and respect for America unlike anything I’ve ever seen. She has such a desire not only to reveal the actuality of the state of our union but to do something about it. Sarah Palin has the fire in the belly to hunt down, call out and reprimand the man responsible for harming the country she loves—and I gallantly join her in the strenuous journey.”
Kev1503, at NewsFlavor:
“Palin had the integrity to put the public who she served above personal interests. That is leadership, that is integrity, and that is just on reason we need to elect Sarah Palin president in 2012.”
Jim Geraghty, at NRO's Campaign Spot:
“Dear wealthy moderate Republicans: I mean no disrespect... But not all of us are shocked and stunned about Obama’s class warfare and his demonization of you and the sense that he doesn’t think of himself as your president too. Some of us spent two years telling anyone who would listen that he was a lot more liberal than his bland, blank-slate rhetoric suggested. And was all of this worth it because you ‘couldn’t live’ with Sarah Palin? Really? The prospect of having her living at the Naval Observatory was so epically offensive to your sensibilities that you really thought this, and all of the economic joy we’ve endured for the past 30 months, was the better option? By any chance, have you done any reexamination of all of that thinking in the past two and a half years?”
Jill, at Pundit & Pundette:
“Cry me a river... Instead of whining and complaining they should volunteer a few hours apiece for some public shaming and promise not to screw it up so horribly next time.”
Byron York, at The Washington Examiner:
“Without running, Palin stays near top of GOP field... There's a near consensus among Washington insiders that Sarah Palin will not run for president. But a new poll suggests the former Alaska governor would become an instant force in the race if she did choose to run. In the survey, by the Washington Post and ABC News, Palin comes in a solid second in the Republican field, behind frontrunner Mitt Romney but ahead of the surging Michele Bachmann. Palin is also well ahead of another possible GOP candidate, Texas Governor Rick Perry... Palin is also at or near the top of the field in questions about desirable attributes in a president.”
Christian Heinze, at The Hill's GOP 12:
“A Quinnipiac University poll shows Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin evenly-matched in Ohio. 1. Mitt Romney 16%, 2. Sarah Palin 15%, 3. Michele Bachmann 11%, 4. Rick Perry 8%...”
Joel Schwartz, at Californians4Palin :
“Check out this Gallup Poll. Amongst Republican and Republican leaning independents, Sarah Palin is near the top of the Republican presidential field with the highest name recognition, tied for the highest ‘strongly favorable’ rating, has a very respectable ‘favorable’ rating, and given the unrelenting campaign by the political left (not to mention a complicit GOP establishment) to destroy her reputation, she has remarkably low unfavorable ratings as well. And she hasn't even declared yet!”
YouGov Staff:
“In the latest Economist/YouGov Poll, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (both unannounced) are closely matched with two declared candidates, Minnesota Cong. Michele Bachmann and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.”
Mark America:
“While the Lamestream Media continues its war against the former governor of Alaska, maintaining a narrative about Sarah Palin that has out-lived its validity in the face of all evidence in opposition, Mrs. Palin takes on the serious work of addressing the lack of leadership on the issues of debt and deficits in a manner that our current President will not. His shills in the media insist that he’s the adult in the room, but the view of most Americans is that he’s become like a petulant, intransigent child who is resisting parental correction. One would think he’d understand the meaning of the elections of last November, and turn from his radical course in favor of something slightly more moderate that recognizes the mathematical certainties involved, but alas, our President is absent in all but rhetoric, though even there, he’s coming unraveled at the seams. Governor Palin has sounded an alarm that is ringing throughout conservative circles, and she’s making it clear that the weak-kneed Republican leadership, particularly in the Senate, is every bit as much a part of the problem as our recalcitrant President.”

“We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.”
