Sarah Palin on Deflated Balls...

Rational Nation USA
Purveyor of Truth

Here's one that's bound to entertain you. The Nuge and the Stooge.

For those who are a hankerin for some politics Sarah style she had this bit of advice for the GOP.
LAS VEGAS — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin declined to speculate on a potential 2016 run Thursday at the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, but she did offer the GOP some free political advice. We caught up with Palin as she was promoting the second season of her show, “Amazing America,” which airs on the Sportsman Channel Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. “I’m not going to talk politics except to say the GOP had better go on offense. Man, they are not going to win any game on defense,” she told TheBlaze. “Being in the majority there in D.C. — we’re blowing it if we just bend our back.” She added, “That GOP leadership, that establishment, they’ve got to get their stuff together. I love what they believe in, I believe in it too. But they’ve got to get tough, man. You know what? It’s not just the New England Patriots who are dealing with deflated balls right now.”
Now for some more from the GOP side show.

      Especially the ones who used her wearing boots as a major part of their criticism.

    She was less ridiculous in 2008, when she was no less qualified than the guy at the top of the Democratic ticket then.

    But what has she done since? Quit her highest elected job, and lived a live of publicity and celebrity. She's not going much of anywhere.

      She was, quite objectively, in 2008. Palin had more executive experience, and Obama's senate career was noted by him doing little and being too lazy to vote much of the time.

      Compare the Senate career of Chris Dodd, who also ran then, to Obama's. It is like night and day.

      I'll concened your point and rephrase. Palin lacked the intelligence and gravitas to be VP in 2008 and she sure as hell lacks the intelligence and gravitas to be president. Which btw is exactly why she will never be president.

  7. Les CarpenterSun Jan 25, 07:52:00 AM EST

    She is and was unqualified for both the job of VP and president.

    She has marketed her brand well, designed for consumption by those who live by the best sounding sound bite and or cliche.

    She says nothing of any consequence and the Teapot Tea Party thinks she is a genius.

    And you are correct dmark, there isn't enough Teapot tea leaf readers and tea drinkers for her to go anywhere.

      Just that at the time of the 2008 election, Palin was no less qualified than the guy at the head of the other ticket, who shared with her the dubious distinction of having just about the thinnest resume and least accomplishments of any in that race.

      But after 2008, one made their resume an embarrassment. The other stuck to his job, and enhanced his resume.

    With all due respect, you two know absolutely nothing about the main stream Republican party.
    You watch too much cable news that feature the crack pots like Gohmert,Palin and Lee just to garner ratings.

    There are only about 25 tea party members in the house and two in the senate.The party pays no attention to those crack pots and they yield no power.

      Rusty: Interrestingly, the hard-core progressives in Congress, last time I checked, were roughly similar in number to the Tea Party.. And certainly no less loopy.

    We'll see Shackelford how much influence the Teapot T-Pee'ers will have. Green Eggs and Ham Cruz and Rubio are two to watch. Gohmert is a real sideshow.

    Rusty, she was recently given a 35 minute speaking slot at the big Iowa pre Presidential conference. Apparently some in the main stream GOP still consider her important.

    At least they did until she unlaced a speech even conservatives found incoherent.

Obama on the Campaign Trail...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny For a President that has talked about unifying in the past it certainly seems this segment of the Presidents recent remarks focus more on divisiveness than unity. I guess politics are, after all just politics. It is more about building a base, telling people what you think they want to hear, and getting reelected than it is about telling the truth. Unfortunately this can be said about both party's. The President: "The Republican plan comes down to this, ‘Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.” h/t: Real Clear Politics "My plan says we’re going to put teachers back in the classrooms, construction workers back to work," President Obama said at a campaign event today. "Tax cuts for small businesses, tax cuts for hiring veterans, tax cuts if you give your workers a raise –- that’s my plan." "The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: 'Dirtier a

A Liberals View of OWS... From the New Republic

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny OWS, the movement lacking leadership as well as defined objectives having a reasonable chance of success. The longer it grinds on the more it look like a bunch of misfit radicals looking for the free ride. However, on the other hand there are certainly those who have a clear vision as to what and why Wall Street needs to change. The reasonable people supporting OWS are doing so to end crony capitalism, corporatism, the unethical practices of banking executives and mortgage lenders, as well as government bailouts of businesses. They also recognize corporate lobbyist must become a extinct group. Given the majority of people would tend to agree with the above someone ought to be asking the question, why doesn't the reasonable Tea Party folks and the reasonable OWS folks come together and pool resources so to speak? Tea Party individuals want more fiscal discipline and restraint so as to bring balance to national fis

Race Baiting Andre Carson Style

Andre Carson - Democrat Indiana Allegations of racism being leveled at the Tea Party have been there since the beginning. Anyone who denies the existence of racism, whether from the right or the left is either naive or blind. Both conservatives and liberals should come together and denounce any form of racism, wherever it rears its ugly head. However, the use of race baiting to further the political agenda of an individual or group is as reprehensible as actual racism. Rep. Andre Carson recent remarks with respect to the Tea Party amount to nothing more than over heated race baiting at its worst.

Taxing the Sale of Your Home

BY: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny From the inbox at RN USA . I am sure there are many who remain unaware of this provision of ObamaCare. E-mail is reproduced here in full with appropriate linkage. Do you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill. Just thought you should know. SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill) REAL ESTATE SALES TAX So, this is "change you can believe in"? Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 if you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to mess with the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote

Unfortunately the philosophic regimen and discipline to achieve this lofty goal has been lost on the current generation of self serving and single issue driven politicians. Make no mistake folks the preceding statement applies to both parties. Neither can get past ideological differences to solve common problems. This site markets itself as an Independent Conservative/Libertarian blog with a strong focus on Constitutional and Randian principles. Understanding the full depth of either requires a bit of study as well as an open mind. Both are attributes that our founding fathers, and the principles that they stood for, require.

Ayn Rand's View of Conservatives...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -v s- Tyranny For the purpose of clarification with respect to Ayn Rand's view of conservatives... and why I find it so utterly amusing that most conservatives fail to recognize that there is little relationship, if any between her views and theirs. In her on words... “Conservatives” Objectivists are not “conservatives.” We are radicals for capitalism; we are fighting for that philosophical base which capitalism did not have and without which it was doomed to perish . . . Politics is based on three other philosophical disciplines: metaphysics, epistemology and ethics—on a theory of man’s nature and of man’s relationship to existence. It is only on such a base that one can formulate a consistent political theory and achieve it in practice. When, however, men attempt to rush into politics without such a base, the result is that embarrassing conglomeration of impotence, futility, inconsist
