Sarah Palin is back in the spotlight when she announced during the first national Tea Party convention that there is a possibility of her running for Presidential office in 2012. Sarah Palin is considered an unofficial symbol of the Tea Party movement. This movement is trying to start a conservative revolution by showing its discontent with the government. Sarah Palin had a jolly good time bashing President Obama at the convention as covered by CNN.
If Obama “continues on the path that he has America on today,” Palin said, “he’s not going to win. That’s what a lot of Americans are telling him today, and he’s not listening.
“Instead, he’s telling everybody else, ‘Listen up and I’ll tell you the way it is.’ Well, we have a representative form of government in our democracy. And we want him and we want Congress to listen to what the things are that we are saying.”
Sarah believes that the upset victory of Republican Scott Brown to fill the Senate seat has told our nation that we all are fed up with Obama and he needs to change his attitude. When asked if she would run on the Republican ticket in 2012, or if the Tea Party would become a separate party, she responded that the Republican Party should absorb the Tea Party as much as possible so they can work together in the 2012 race.
Sarah Palin believes that if Obama doesn’t change his ways he would lose and possibly to her. Could this happen? Right now the bad taste of conservative President Bush is still in our mouths so I think it would be hard for America to make the conservative switch. When she mentions that we have a representative form of government and he’s not listening, there are some key arguments that could be made. One, is that the Tea Party and part of America want to see the “change” Obama proposed way too fast. He may have added on to the deficit, but something needed to be done to get the U.S. economically stabilized somewhat. Plus, the national deficit was extremely high before President Obama was elected into office, an act committed by Republican former President Bush.
In my opinion I think Sarah Palin is crazy. She believes she has a chance because of Obama’s failure to represent us and listen to what we are saying. I think President Obama made a good job of pointing out in the State of the Union address that change can’t happen in a year when our country is so far under debt wise and economically. I’m hoping that a lot of people will continue to be “nature of the times” voters and not vote for Sarah Palin, or any conservative Republican as they may still look back on Bush’s Presidency and how that turned out. Even if President Obama doesn’t do a good job in these next 3 years, people might still see Sarah Palin as an inexperienced woman, just like in the 2008 elections. This being said I wouldn’t mind her running in 2012 if it meant that her stupidity and inexperience would cost her the election. Good Luck Sarah!
A 3rd party will not be successful. It never has been; read a history book. Dr. Utopia is systematically tearing down this nation piece by piece and were out here proposing songs to the band? It is absolutely, vitally important that tea partiers, levelheaded conservatives, whatever we want to call ourselves, TAKE BACK the GOP.
