The GOP's two best-known conservative women appeared in tandem at a Midwest rally this week for the one of them who is running for re-election. Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, of Minnesota, appeared together at a Wednesday rally and the Kansas City Star's website called the event a winner for Bachmann's re-election campaign. I saw her on CNN today and she said she's in a tough race, so this should have been a big help to her. According to the Star:

You can't get much better than throwing Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann together if your aim is to get people excited about "taking back America." Whatever that means. Their pro-Republican rally Wednesday in Minneapolis was a made-for-TV stunt that worked. It got great attention for Bachmann, letting her soak up some of the adulation normally thrown Palin's way. And Palin got to reaffirm her tea party credentials with the good, conservative people of Minnesota. Everybody's a winner!

Bachmann boldly predicted that President Obama will be a one-termer and that Americans will elect a "rock-ribbed" conservative in response to the Obama presidency. The question is, will that rock-ribber be Palin herself, with Bachmann as her running mate:

It was one of those "no harm, no foul" political events that--if repeated enough in the future--could make this a good team for Republicans to take on the road in 2012. Think that's possible?

That's a problem for the Democrats I predicted when they nominated then-Senator Obama to run as their candidate. I blogged on these pages during the '08 campaign that electing an African-American liberal to the highest office would provoke a cultural backlash by low- and middle-income whites. So far, the Tea Party's escapades have proven that point, including the outrage-filled protests against the president's key legislative win, healthcare reform. I had hoped to be wrong and continue to hope so. But at this moment in time, it looks as though I was right.

A fraction of thought;

THE PEOPLE’S VOICE AND THE GOOD GOVERNOR:

________________________________________

A FRACTION OF THOUGHT;

THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT IS A ONGOING EXPANDING EVENT THAT GALVANIZES THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND VALUES FOR ALL AMERICANS .

DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A POLITICAL PARTY ON ITSELF FOR ITS STRONGLY GROWING STRENGHT CONVEYS THE ALL-AMERICAN INDIVIDUAL WHERE, POLITICAL PARTY ASSOCIATION OR INCLINATION ,…OR SKIN COLOUR OR RACE ARE NOT FACTORS IN THE REALITY WHICH IS PRESENTED NATION WIDE.

IT IS THE VOICE AND SINCERE EXPRESSION OF THE SPIRIT SOUL AND MIND OF ALL TRUE REAL AMERICAN WHERE HONESTY,INTEGRITY,DECENCY, COMPASSION, AND PATRIOTISM ARE THE RULES OF ACTION,…. AND THE LEADER IS…FREEDOM!

THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT IS AN ALL-AMERICA PLATFORM.

SOMETIHNG ABOUT THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT – A REALITY to be EMBRACED by all AMERICANS for it is PLATFORM OF OUR FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND VALUES THAT MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREAT!

_____

SARAH PALIN IS THE BEST CANDIDATE…and eventually…because is going to happen…THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES WILL CALL FOR HER TO RUN FOR 2012 PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.

LIBERAL-DEMOCRAT FACTIONS HATE THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT, AS MUCH THEY HATE GOV SARAH PALIN…and here is a fraction of the reason why;

SARA PALIN IS ONE GOOD POSSIBILITY – IF NOT THE MOST POWERFUL ONE – FOR PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE ON 2012.

No pretenses,…no fine print,…no asterisks,…just one of us…and THAT! IS AMERICAN!

SHE DOES REPRESENTS THE REAL POWER OF THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY, DEFENDING THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES THAT GIVES THE CORE-PLATFORM OF THIS GREAT NATION,…AND IN DOING SO, GALVANIZES THE REAL TRUE EVERYDAY EMERICAN SPIRIT OF GOONESS, HONOR INTEGRITY AND DISCIPLINE.

COMMON SENSE, VISION AND REALISTIC PRAGMATISM ARE PLATFORMS ON SARAH PALIN

VERY LOGICAL AND PRACTICAL THOUGHT FROM THE GOOD GOVERNOR – AND HERE IS WHY;

The Tea Party Phenomenon IS the VOICE of the ALL-AMERICANS.It exudates the thinking , values and fundamental principles that makes our country great.

It is an ONGOING EXPRESSION OF REALILTY….REALITY THAT IS THE STRENGHT , SIPIRIT AND MIND-ESSENCE FORM ALL OF US..and does not involve political parties of any kind for all its constituents EMBRACE AMERICAN PATRIOTISM, HONOR AND INTEGRITY..all at once as collective platform.

THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT IS BASED ON THESE CONCEPTS;

WE THE PEOPLE should elect individuals that reflect the greatness of the good people of this great country.

Our contry needs individuals that’…

1. FIGHT CORRUPTION

2. DO NOT COMPROMISE -IN ANY WAY, NOR AT ANY TIME – WITH NOBODY INSIDE THE CORRUPTED ATMOSPHERE.

3. REALLY LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE – KNOW THE ISSUES AND REAL CONCERNS FIRST HAND, FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

4. WHEN TALK TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD ,LET THEM KNOW THE VIRTUES AND GREATNESS OF OUR COUNTRY – HOW NOBLE , KIND AN HELPFUL AMERICANS ARE…AND HOW STRONG IS OUR SPIRIT ON THE DETERMINATION DO DEFEND AND PRESERVE THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES THAT MAKES OUR COUNTRY GREAT.

5. UNDERSTAND VERY CLEAR THAT THE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION IS ONE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE AND IS THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES WHO HAS THE FINAL WORD ON EVERYTHING.

6. RESPECT AND PROTECT LIFE

Because in final analysys whoever president?…is to understand that is in charge,… has the responsability, and authority,… for she/he has the POWER FROM THE PEOPLE.

In others words,few characteristic are IMPERATIVE to be present;- GOOD CHARACTER,… INTEGRTIY,… HONESTY,… COMMON SENSE,…VISION AND DICIPLINE.

The Republican Party slightly has been disassociating itself from the fundamentals principles and insofar, from traditionals values that make our country great….and yet, the roots of OUR GREAT COUNTRY is very much alive!

However THE TEA PARTY EVENT could be very well be seen as re-enrgizing the Republican Party on the primeveal roots,

So, althought is a POWERFUL MEGA-GROUP WITH LIFE OF IT’S OWN,…it might be taken as a pre-emerging of the entire AMERICAN SPIRIT, where ALL PARTICIPANTS are but ONE COMPLETE AND ROUNDED VOICE …THE AMERICAN VOICE….AN AMERICAN RISING .

THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT IS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND GOING STRONG!

And so here is the bottom line;

If LOGIC, GOOD STRATEGY will be factors , SARAH PALIN IS THE BEST CANDIDATE…THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES WILL CALL FOR HER…if the GOP LISTENS TO THE PEOPLE – no partisian factors involved, just the every day strong, smart, patriotic ,hard working american – if the GOP ARE GOOD LISTENERS,…THEY WILL HAVE ON SARAH PALIN AN STRAIGHT SHOT WINNER…or perhaps, better said;…THE PEOPLE, WILL HAVE AN STRAIGHT SHOT WINNER.

There, plain and simple.

AND HERE IS THE 2012 /2013 FRIGHTENING ANNOUNCEMENT …for liberal-democrat factions;

“Ladies and gentlemen, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,…SARAH L. PALIN!”

And then somes will have a heart attack, and REALITY will slap at the faces of those someones…will they awake their ‘lethargic obamanized condition’?…your guess is as good as mine.

Opinions welcome.

So once again,..here is one;

PALIN-BACHMANN PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE 2012… a heck of a power on the side of the people…isn’t it?

A POWERFUL DUETO where EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE, LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, VISION, DISCIPLINE, INTEGRITY, HONESTY AND TRUE REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTISM ARE TRADEMAKRS.

Much more could be added….let’s stop at this point.

So everyone out there, do research,and then tell me all about it.

And now, again,…opinions welcome.

No one thinks Palin is competent enough, or even interested, to even finish a full term as Gov of Alaska, much less any other public service. This gal is only into getting rich off her celebrity. As a cheerleader for the wackjob right, she's great and her celebrity is the predominant issue for some folks, however expensive. Let's not confuse this tabloid queen with leadership. No forgets how another unqualified Governor became a most disastrous president who left our economy a mess, and Palin is even less qualified. Let's not make a fuss over what everyone knows that the gal isn't and never will be electable.
