What does not kill you will make you stronger - Sarah Palin emerges stronger

Sarah Palins direct Alaskan style has started to resonate with the citizens of the lower 48 states. She attracts great crowds of enthusiastic supporters wherever she appears.

In spite of the concerted savage attacks by the established leftist main stream media, she is having a resurgence in popularity. As if grasping at straws, some are even breathlessly reporting (Martin Bashir, of NBC of course) that her bus tour of national monuments is somehow illegal?

Those of lesser character and strength would have wilted under the continued hateful attacks aimed at knocking her out of politics. But Sarah Palin seems to grow stronger as she finds an inner strength that inspires her onward and inspires Americans at the same time.

She has a disdain for the media that has repeatedly tried to undermine her at every turn, sent investigative reporters to her elementary school to dig up dirt on her and practiced the art of character assassination on her at every level, public and private. It brings a great truth to mind when you see the indomitable Sarah plow forward: "What does not kill you, will make you stronger".

It makes one speculate if that same media would have probed Obamas past with the same zeal they have gone after Sarah Palin, before the 08 election, if he would have been elected President? Would it have meant a Hillary Clinton as President instead? It is interesting to probe that possibility as we start the new political season.

When Sarah Palin first came on the scene, she spoke in a language many of us had not heard in a long time, direct truth in what she believes in, not sugar coated. That rankles many who like to ignore the herd of elephants in the living room and pretend that there is no economic problem that bigger government can't solve and simplistic all we have to do with terrorists/dictators is sit down and have a beer with them.

It will be interesting to see what Sarah Palin feels inspired to do, whether she will run for President or who she will throw her weight behind in the coming Presidential election. But one thing for sure, she will speak out fearlessly on what she believes in and that is what America desperately wants to hear.

Joan: the reason I KNOW obama never even ran a lemonade stand was the fact he never bragged about it and his press corpse(the msm) hasn't been blathering about it for the past 3 years and enshrined the location.

Having lived in Texas for the past 20 odd years, I can tell you that Governor Goodhair would not be a good candidate. You conservatives would love him, but that's all. George Bush was a better gov. than Perry. He and his administration dislike teachers and have tried to raid our retirement fund, among other things, but I'm sure that would make you love him more. I can't think of a worse candidate for the Republican party to want representing them. On the other hand, go for it Ricky.

The only thing obama ever sold was cocaine. Look for Gov. Perry to enter the race for Potus and throw the American hater out. The only problem with Perry taking the White House is it can't happen soon enough. joanxis, obama doesn't know his arse from apple butter.

Believe me when I tell you, Maloney -- I'm sure that most congressmen and women know the correct story of Paul Revere's ride. I'm also sure that the President and first lady could have recited - off the cuff the correct story as well. Until I heard Sarah Palin's version, I thought all Americans could tell the story off the cuff. Boy, was I surprised at her ignorance.

Hey, Mon, how do you know that Obama never had a lemonade stand. Maybe he did.

Obama destroying America? Give me a freaking break. Republicans are the TRUE enemies of America. They don't care about working folks and the middle class. They only care about making life easier for the wealthy and multinational corporations. They don't care about jobs. They think more austerity will get us out the economic hell that Obama and the Dems inherited from Bush and the spend-crazy GOP of the last decade. Obama ain't perfect - in fact he acts more like a bloody Republican each day - but to allow the feckless GOP to gain control of the WH would be suicidal.

Rest easy ratboy, obama is still all and more of what you say he's no longer. Any history taught today is a far cry from the truth of America's past. Obama knows nothing of what made America stong. He only learned and knows how to destroy America and the rest of the free world for that matter. If obama is so great on the law, why does he constantly break it?

The right-wing hate machine now whines the absolutely ridiculous whine that Obama is some how dumb (like most Harvard grads, especially those legal pinheads on the Law Review). He's no longer a Commie, a Socialist, a Kenyan immigrant who should be disqualified from being president. What will be the anti-Obama gangs' new meme? Obama can't really play basketball??!
