Palin's relationship with the national committee has sometimes been rocky since she returned to Alaska after her 2008 campaign for vice president. She backed out of a Washington fund-raising dinner for Senate and House candidates in March 2009, and earlier this year asked for her name to be taken off the guest list on an invitation to a money-raising event in New Orleans.
Getting Palin on board could help the national party bolster its standing with conservatives, unhappy with RNC Chairman Michael Steele's missteps, CNN said.
But the Palin touch didn't work for one candidate in Thursday's Tennessee Republican primary. Nashville entertainment lawyer Cece Heil, endorsed by Palin as a "Mama Grizzly," who would "fight tirelessly to protect our freedoms," finished third in the GOP primary for the 5th District House seat. The winner, businessman Jim Hall, will face Rep. Jim Cooper, (D-Tenn.), in November.
Sarah isn't all bad.....After all we can thank her for keeping J. McCain out of the White House..

Way back in April this year, I wrote that most of TEA Party goers were misguided, lied upon and therefore did not understand what were shouting about. TEA stands for TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY. But these people did not understand that President Obama was on their side and therefore they should have been supporting him. President Obama has cut taxes for middle and lower income people. My check is now $100 more. But Obama has raised tax for people earning more than $250,000. I believe most TEA party attendees make less than $250,000. Therefore they should support President Obama agenda. On their health. President Obama has signed health care into law that : prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, prolonged stay in hospitals, lavish premium insurance increases and ensuring that when anybody gets ill she or he should see doctor. Of course we should pay premium for such services. However, we are and were already paying those premiums to insurance companies. President Obama has reshaped financial institutions in favor of customers or American people. Now banks cannot bully us with their secret charges. During Reagan and Bush administration, selfish rich people were allowed to export jobs to china, Japan, India, Jamaica, Tanzania, Mexico and other foreign countries leaving people here jobless. These same rich people were laughing at Americans who lost jobs as lazy and beggars. President Obama is now fighting to keep jobs here. Obama has lived up to promises during his campaign. Other than shouting "We want our country back" TEA party agenda is hot air and lie to people. They have been lied by insurance companies, White male republicans, KKK and other anti-America such as Sarah Palin, Rush, Sean Hannity, Sanford (SC), Gingrich who left his wife for a office broad, Malick, Laura Ingraham, Karl Rove who has dumped his wife for a new girl. It's time TEA Party members join TEAMOBAMA to re-build America.

I'm that perfect description of a "Mama grizzly" type and was long before she came along. She does not represent my morals or my family values (mine are in MUCH better shape, not perfect but miles ahead of her) and I DON'T need or want her speaking for me. She needs to fix her own house before she tells me how to run mine! I'm a firm believer that actions speak louder than words and she's got a lot of work to do!

"I think you protest too much".
Could it be that she is changing even liberal minds?

Can someone tell me one constructive idea the Republicans and Sarah Palin have put forth to help our economy besides tax cuts for the top 1% of our population which has been proven useless the past eight years, except for increasing the deficit. Maybe it's time for the Republicans to look at cutting military spending as much as they like cutting education, but then kids might learn history and sex ed. Scary thought to have educated young people voting in a couple of years.

But the main stream liberal media will not report on these ideas so it is up to blogs or social web sites to get the word out.
Try reading up on this -- "A Roadmap for America's Future" by Paul Ryan R Wis.
Goggle it!
Yes I can. Sarah and the Republicans have put forth an idea to oust the Democrats and President Obama from office.

August 07 2010 at 1:57 PM Report abuse Permalink -2 rate up rate down ReplyWhat's Sarah's percentage?????? I honesty don't believe Sarahg does anything for FREE or GOODWILL.
August 07 2010 at 1:42 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhy would she do anything for free or goodwill, and who does in politics??? Dems keep her in the spotlight and thus making millions of dollars a year. In fact, I rarely hear anything about her, EXCEPT from Dems.
