Sarah Palin Isn’t Running In 2012, But 2016 or 2020…

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2012 Election, Palin

Personally, I think this is a smart, savvy move. Here’s what she had to say… After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into [...]

Fox News Does The Right Thing With Gingrich And Santorum

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Huckabee, Media, Money, Newt, Palin

Both Newt and Rick are making presidential rumblings and that means that paying them on a “news” channel is a bad idea…apparently. From New York Times: On Wednesday, the cable news channel suspended two paid contributors, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, who are both weighing presidential bids. While the channel’s move seems pre-emptive — Mr. [...]

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Palin

Yesterday they said this… “We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights,” [Palin staffer Rebecca Mansour] said. “It’s surveyor’s symbols,” the interviewer Tammy Bruce suggested. [...] Mansour agreed. She said that the graphic was contracted out to a professional. They approved it quickly without thinking about it. “We never imagined, it never occurred [...]

VIDEO: Gabrielle Giffords Talked About Sarah Palin’s Target List

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Democrats, Health Care, Palin, Republicans, tea party, Video

Incredibly eerie in retrospect. Here’s what Gifford said on March 25, 2010… “…for example, we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list, but the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district, and when people do that, they’ve gotta realize there are consequences to that [...]

Republicans, Please Stop Using Gun Metaphors In Your Campaign Literature

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2010 Election, Arizona, Congress, Democrats, Guns and Ammo, Palin, Republicans

The motives of the coward who shot a bunch of people (including Dem Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords) down in Arizona earlier today are not known, but I think we can all agree that campaign literature like this certainly doesn’t help… Yes, I’m talking about Sarah Palin. This was the tweet announcing the ridiculous image above… This [...]

How The GOP Wins (Or Loses) The White House In 2012

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2012 Election, Barack, Democrats, Economy, Elections, Huckabee, Obama, Palin, Republicans, Romney, Taxes

Obama is baiting the trap and if the GOP candidate doesn’t take it in 2012, it could spell trouble for the Dems. Last night the President said this… I have no doubt that everyone will find something in this compromise that they don’t like. In fact, there are things in here that I don’t like [...]

Palin Says She Could Beat Obama in 2012

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2012 Election, Palin, Video

At this point I think we can assume she’s running. Initially I didn’t think there was any chance that would happen, but after the past couple weeks I can’t help but think that the writing is on the wall. Especially since January is right around the corner and Politimas only comes only once every 4 [...]

Sarah Palin Makes Presidential Noises In Iowa

We’ll have to see how all of the Tea Party candidates fare, but if they do well I’d bet $1,000 that she’s running. From Fox News: “If the American people were to be ready for someone who is willing to shake it up, and willing to get back to time-tested truths, and help lead our [...]

Limbaugh Suggests Oil Spill Caused By Environmentalists?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Energy, Environment, Palin, Partisan Hacks

Hey, if he’s right, shame on them. Well, more than shame on them. They should spend their lives in prison for all of the destruction they’ve caused. But for some reason…I don’t think folks who have spent their lives defending the environment would deliberately cause one of the worst environmental disasters in our lifetime just [...]

Tea Party In Trouble?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Barack, Obama, Palin, tea party

Does it need the GOP to be legitimate? No. However…having somebody like Sarah Palin certainly got them a lot of attention last week. Still, one Tea Party leader doesn’t like it one bit… A prominent Tea Party leader from Texas is warning that the movement “is becoming nothing more than a wholly owned subsidiary of [...]

File This Under, “Why?”

Seriously, why give Palin this type of attention? Also, doesn’t this make the White House seem unserious? If you have any ideas, I’m all ears.

I know many don’t think Sarah Palin is a smart woman. And hey, fair enough. It’s not like she made a good impression in 2008. However, I think you have to possess some smarts to become Governor of any state. After all, look how Dubya parlayed his run in Texas to 8 years in the [...]

Why oh why oh why oh why?

And this isn’t just coming from her corner. It’s coming from Media Matters and other voices in [...]
