Sarah Palin Set to Re-emerge at CPAC

At last year’s CPAC gathering, the mere sight of a Sarah Palin impersonator was enough to throw some attendees into a star-struck frenzy.

Such was Palin’s clout among conservative activists in February 2011, just a few months after she played a critical role in the 2010 midterms and when she was stoking speculation about her own presidential ambitions.

This year, CPAC attendees won’t have to settle on a doppelganger, as the former Alaska governor is slated to deliver the event’s keynote address on Saturday.

But, with the Michigan and Arizona primaries looming at the end of the month and Super Tuesday following them in early March, how much impact will her words have on race?

With Palin having receded from the headlines — and her influence having waned within the Republican Party — the reception her speech receives will be a test of how much sway she retains in the grass-roots movement she personified not so long ago.

Though the “rogue” politician is always liable to spring a surprise, a source inside Palin’s orbit said she would not endorse a presidential candidate in her speech but would instead aim to unify the conservative movement.

    I can't believe the hate for Obama in all the comments. I only hope and pray those that scream so loud will show up at the poles and we can vote this loser out in November. I have voted for every president since Truman and NEVER have I seen the hate that is out there with Obama. I reckon it's because he hates and disrespects this great nation and is so against the Constitution which is what has got us to where we are,,,,,,the strongest and best country in the world. Most countries build fences to keep them in and we try to keep them out.

      I certainly hope Sarah Palin has not lost her clout. She is one of few Americans who speaks the truth. Let's not forget that she fought even against republicans who were crooked. She is a true American hero and we would be wise to continue supporting her and the Tea Party. If we don't keep the Tea Party alive–with Sarah Palin's help and guidance–we are finished as a republic.

      • Don

        I think Sarah should have run, abd think she could win. McCain lost the race when the lady spoke about and McCain took the mike out of her hand and stuck up for Obama!

      (NEVER have I seen the hate that is out there with Obama) Guess you forgot about the Hate DEMS showed and had for BUSH.

      • evermyrtle

        The anti-GOD peoples run on hate, they kill each other by the thousands.

    • don

      orville- their is a few people that knows where we are heading. their a bounce that don't care long as they keep getting theres free bs. some where along our way they have stole our sole an we were an still are asleep at the wheel.

    • Ken

      Dude it is not him personally, IT IS HIS POLICIES and the direction that he is leading this Great Country down. Call it Socialism, Radical leftist policies or what-ever IT AINT GOOD!!

    • evermyrtle

      If Sarah had been running for President and McCain had been running for VP, they would have likely won the race. It is such a pity it was not that way, and what a difference it would have made. Sarah is the only Christian who was in the race and that would have meant a lot, had she had been the nominee.

    • patriotgal

      orville……does he deserve love???????

  • Orville Covert

    What on earth is this world coming to…..thirty year ago when I was 50 homosexuality was just about the worst sin there was. . Nothing was lower or more disgusting. Now their passing laws so they can marry and shoving it down our throats. I wonder if the homo ever wondered why GOD destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah back a few years ago? This is exactly what will happen to them in the very near future. My Daughter was lesbian by choice as her mother was so abused by many men after I divorced her. She ended up killing herself at 24. This life style is a choice you make…. not born with! JESUS can straighten you out if you will let HIM!! Seek a Christian counselor and get help…..Please before it's too late. I'll pray for you.

      Dave try this ( McCain)

    • slickmick

      Like your post, We are on the same page. Would like to have enough of like minded for a big book.

    • don

      orville- their is not many like you an me left. they have brain washed our chridren from the frist grade on an we let them. they have been taught to think like a liberial. we have lost our moral values. there may be on turning it back. i'm 68 long as i live they will never force me to their way of thinking.

    • evermyrtle

      Orville, there is one thing you can depend on, GOD has not changed. HIS opinion in this matteR, and what HE says is what is important . HE will win out in the end exactly when HE decides HE has had enough. Read Matt. 24,Mark 13, and Luke 21 among hundreds of other scriptures.

      Another thing "WE HAD BETTER SPEAK OUT WHILE WE CAN, THE CHANCES, TO DO THIS, ARE DISAPPEARING INTO DUST."

    • mary m

      Amen orville well said and so true, If you don't have JESUS in your life well it like this, If you have never been born twice (means excepting Jesus into your heart and living for him) you will ETERNALLY regret you were ever born at all. If you don't know him find him before its to late. right Mr orville?

    Sarah Palin: Ron Paul “Only One” Willing to Cut Government and Debt:
    Said former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on FOX News on 1/28/12: "(Ron Paul) is the only one who has been so adamantly passionate about doing something about the suffocating debt, about doing something about reining in government growth and actually slashing budgets – $1 trillion a year, he’s been specific about until we get our hands around this….."
    If the GOP is the party of limited government, there is only one such Republican in this race. If conservatism is about reining in and limiting government, there is only one conservative in this race. If the Tea Party is about reining in government and debt, there is only one Tea Partier in this race. Palin is right. http://nation.foxnews.com/ron-paul/2012/01/27/pal…

      The problem with Paul is his foreign policy views. With him in the whitehouse Iran would be encouraged to pursue nuclear weapons and terrorists would be encouraged to once again attack the United States.

    • falling

      Ron Paul is NOT TEA party! He had nothing at all to do with it coming into being nor did he support the movement, nor was he ever invited to show up at any of our meetups! He sat in his little DC bubble and ignored us when we marched on DC. TEA party began with Rick Santelli and was furthered by Basso on youtube. And Sarah Palin has been very adament that she DISAGREES with Ron Paul's foreign policiy nonsense. She always says something nice about all the candidates, but she has not and never will endorse or vote for Ron Paul!!!!

    • Jonathan Gartner

      Nice try Palin would never endorse Paul thank God. Paul is a Libertarian not a Conservative or Republican he has said this himself. The Tea Party is not behind Paul some individuals are but , not the whole of the movement that finds his drug, foreign and border policies to be repugnant to say the least and very dangerous in the world we live in.

    Please keep comments clean and appropriate for Obama’s audiences. Please do not use honest or truthful language. ALL CAPS comments are inappropriate. Please be patient when posting an honest truthful fact based comment. It may take a few minutes for your comment to be manipulated by our censors. Due to the word "Socialism" containing the name of a prescription drug, all comments containing the word “freedom” gets flagged for moderation. These comments have to be manually manipulated and altered for the benefit of Obama and Romney so they will not post immediately.

    • slickmick

      Ultor Thanks, You are so right, Seem you can say anything except the truth.

      • evermyrtle

        Obam has his hand in every pie. Just look what he did to or with Judge Mahili in GA.

  • Dave Langdon

    You have John Mcclain the Rino walking around talking like the babbling idiot he and the establishment supported him The only thing that he did well in 2008 was pick Sarah as his VP or he would have been slaughtered. She represents the will of the people and if the RINOS don't listen again we will have this crook for four more years and no reason to ever hold another election. I would be tempted to move to Mexico and take my chances and I am not Hispanic. If you do not listen to the people as in 2010 , you do not desirve to win. So listen carefully what Sarah has to say, and tell mcClain to shut up and follow as he has proven that he in not a leader and needs to retire

    • Pat78

      Mexico is deeply involved in this commie shadow government who attempts to choose for their own greed and power. I've been told that Costa Rica is an up and coming place to live these days.

  • dingbat36

    Sarah Palin is the most effective "cheerleader" I have ever seen for the Republican Party. I really wish that she would moderate the voice somewhat however……….a bit too shrill. Otherwise, her enthusiasm for her country and the goals of conservatives are impeccable!!

    And I agree with Dave, someone should tell Milquetoast McCain to "shove a sock in it". We've heard quite enough from him. HE and the elite Republican establishment are mostly responsible for Obama's ascendency to his "throne"!

    • ricbee

      Spot on-bats!

    • patriotrenegade

      Her support for a CFR (knewt) really caused me to go from supporter and defender, to realizing she's getting used to CFR murdoch money, to just not having the brains to understand the all out assault on our sovereignty by the CFR, TC, and bilderbergs. It has NOT been business as usual or some market "accident". It is a globalist blueprint. The internet has allowed the word to get out. The CFR owned media outlets will never mention it.

    • Henry

      Never mind what her voice sounds like…I don't doubt that yours isn't perfect. But…what is important is what she stands for.. She believes that the US needs helps in returning it to what it used to be. The SOB that is your present leader has made that task almost impossible. Go Sarah go.

      • evermyrtle

        I failed to find anything wrong with her voice but if you were really looking for something to complain that is as good as any.

  • tod

    Anybody that would run for VP with McCain ,has to be as DIRTY as He is,PERIOD !!! You can judge a person by their friends,Period !!! Dr.Ron Paul 2012 for the Only Honest Patriot Running !!!

    • AbnGunner

      And the Good Doctor's VP choice is….? Just so we can see his friends.

    • donald

      The problem with Paul is his foreign policy views. With him in the whitehouse Iran would be encouraged to pursue nuclear weapons and terrorists would be encouraged to once again attack the United States.

    • falling

      Ron Paul is never going to be president. And he has already told his rabid supporters that HE knows that, so why don't YOU know that? He is only trying to get as many delegates he can, so that in the case of a brokered convention he will have some power over the eventual nominee. I suspect he will try to trade his delegates on the basis that his son, Rand Paul is put in the VP position…or perhaps he is looking for a place on the nominees cabinet. He has already told you that he will NOT be president, he is just staying in to satisfy his massive ego and gain some influence in DC.

    • Jonathan Gartner

      Another Paul bot. The man is not right in the head period. He is chaos and anarchy while Obama is dictatorship neither is the United States

    • patriotgal

      tod……i do not ususally call any one an idiot …but for the comment you just posted about sarah YOU ARE A BIG ONE……it is ones like you that helped destroy her ….but she is alive and well and she will soon be a force to deal with……ron paul is NOT the only honest one out …..he has a few hang ups of his own you know…..

  • ricbee

    I want her for VP,but not yet. The timing has to be right,we can't get the media too excited yet. Rick & Sara are gonna wipe the floor with the Moor.

  • DLT

    Where is our firsr amendment going? Seems like someone needs to run and catch it.

  • 45 Bandit

    Ladies and Gentlemen. It's all about the UN and our p.o.s. president wanting to be King Obammy. To do this he needs a one world government. Hillary is working as hard as she can to make that happen. Anyone heard of UN directive 21?

    • patriotrenegade

      sarah's endorsement of CFR knewtburg who is allied with bama's CFR, TC, and bilderberg puppetmasters was shocking. She was forcefully told and bought or she is a political retard. Look up council on foreign relations, trilateral commission, and bilderbergs. All BAD for us, including agenda 21.

    • evermyrtle

      I hope that ll America realizes that is the aim or the Muslim, anti-GOD world, a one world government and church. The church is already going strong in America. Chrislim, is what it is called. It has invaded, if not all, most different denominatins already, maybe earlier than June 2011 when they had a huge convention.

    • Babci Cathy

      Read "Behind the Green Mask: UN Agenda 21" by Rosa Koire. She is a lesbian anti-green activist who heads up "Democrats Against Agenda 21". She is pro-choice, anti-war and LOVES the Tea Party…go figure!

  • jerry1944

    with so many seaming to want romney i am not sure she can bring the party togeather But maybe she can get conservative to be behind a conservative instead of romney

  • Fran

    Remember to vote Republican…because if Obama gets in for a second term…all Hell will break loose…and think about it
    this may be the last Vote that you be allowed….Thank about it !!!

    • Helga

      YES AND LOOK AT THE PROPHESIS, WHEN WE TURN AWAY FROM GOD WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, AND IT SEEMS IT IS GOING MORE AND MORE IN THAT DIRECTION. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE PEOPLE IN THIS BEUTYFULL COUNTRY.

  • MartinRidens

    I just gotta say it, Sarah Palin is freakin hot!

    • patriotgal

      martin..ridens……forget about freakin hot!!!!!!pray that she wil get a job in the new administration…we need her abilities and common sence……

      • MartinRidens

        Yeah, but still…

  • donald

    Holy Cow! Why do you even bother to run a site like this? Are you part of the DNC? If someone feels our present administration has socialistic tendencies you want to monitor?

    • guest

      oh stuff it!

    • Jonathan Gartner

      I agree with "guest" ask them why instead of whinning about it. I have had it happen to just ask why before going off half cocked you sound like a liberal

  • Dorothy

    • patriotgal

  • Eddie B

    Sarah Palin is a weapon….mention her name and the left and the commies go crazy,nutso and into a razzle dazzle.They are terrified of a woman with her values ,practices and strength……..so……keep shivering and squiveling lefties…..SHE's STILL HERE!!!

    • evermyrtle

      So, why didn't she run?? I was looking to vote for her, one thing the liberals are so afraid of her, I think that means her chances to win, were excellent. Better than any we have running, I think.

  • Maxine

    Mccain is a lier and a rino he wants to distroy are country why arizona voted that nut case back in when he was running he tryed to make us thinks he was for closeing are borders but now you dont here him saying much about it He is a fake and needs to go

  • DogWithoutSlippers

    Sarah Palin could have saved this Great Nation. The media and both political parties fear her.

  • Jerry F.

    Sarah will probably give the best speech of the whole convention.When in our history has more type,more film,ever been used on a non-president,Reagan I don't think has had this much attention.And I know there hasn't been anyone on the left like Sarah.
