(TheTigrrrrExpress)…(h/t AFinch).  The left needed to destroy her since they despise minority conservatives, especially religious ones to the right on social issues. Yet Sarah Palin did not lose the election for the GOP in 2008. Lehman Brothers burned. She was a jolt of energy to the ticket.  In a very roundabout way, Governor Palin played a small role in my current success. She was supposed to be the keynote speaker at a major Republican Women’s function at the Reagan Library. She was unable to attend, creating a speaking slot. The original emcee became the keynote speaker and I was given 15 minutes. That speech launched my speaking career, since speaking at the Reagan Library captures conservative attention nationwide.  Yet despite speaking all over the country and meeting many politicos, I had never met her. She is kept on lockdown due to the many threats she gets from deranged leftists who despise a woman they have never met. I have never been to Alaska, but thankfully she came to Iowa. (more…)

(RealClearPolitics)...In New Hampshire this morning Gov. Rick Perry responded to President Obama’s suggestion that he “be more careful” about what he says.

Three mates set out on an amazing six-week trip around the world.  Forty-four days, eleven countries, eighteen flights, thirty-eight thousand miles, an exploding volcano, two cameras and almost a terabyte of footage are involved.  What you see is the journey of a lifetime crammed into one epic minute.  Enjoy…….

(TammyBruce)…(h/t GracieD)…Obama is being driven around the Midwest today in an effort to give the impression that he cares. The RNC has mocks him via video and Romney has dubbed it the “Magical Misery Tour.” Lastly, tweet reminder that we’re paying for this ghoulish road trip of destruction. (more…)

(Examiner.com)…Sarah Palin:  “Don’t retreat! Reload!”
Arizona’s Senator John McCain is a time tested war hero. He has seen more than his share of horror on the battle field. You would think that with his experiences he would have preserved his killer instincts for the  political battle field. Something has happened though and he seems to want to compromise at every corner and throw in the towel with every fight. Raising the debt ceiling was his latest surrender. He told us if we did not raise it disaster would come. He voted to raise it and disaster has come anyway. It just seems like there is no more fight in him to do the right thing. (more…)

(h/t JRD)…Anyone have any ideas on what to make of this?  I can’t find anything more about it yet, nor do I recall him mentioning it on the radio this morning.  There’s nothing up at glennbeck.com either.  I do find it interesting that Big Journalism Editor Dana Loesch will be introducing Gov. Palin.
(Texans For Sarah Palin)…Together Again: Glenn Beck & Sarah Palin in St. Louis Oct. 7th. (more…)

Shortly after noon yesterday, the big “One Nation” bus rolled up to Ronald Reagan’s boyhood home in Dixon, Illinois.  Reagan would have turned 100 this year, and were he still alive, I believe he would have adored Sarah Palin’s convictions, her faith, and her love for our country.  It’s actually quite sad to think that this state, once known for giving us men like Lincoln and Reagan, can today be noted more for Chicago-style politics and President Food Stamps.  Reagan once said, when asked about his alma mater Eureka College, “The most valuable lesson I learned at Eureka is that every individual makes a difference.”  I think this is a statement Sarah Palin has taken well to heart, believing she is an instrument God is using to give us a choice.  America…we must choose well in 2012, as it may be our last.

Obama is packing his bags and heading out of town for his big Midwest bus tour this coming Monday.  Not one to let political pressure to stay in Washington sway him, or feel the need to take bold steps to address a lagging economy too seriously,  the President is steadfastly ignoring calls to cancel his vacation and call Congress back into session.  No… now that petty introspection is out of the way, the only thing holding back this show from getting on the road is an appropriate name for the bus.  We’ve got “Air Force One”, “Marine One”…surely the most gifted man to ever hold office must have an equally impressive moniker for his ride.  (more…)

“Unlike next week’s Obama Bus Tour, taxpayers aren’t funding our tour, which is why we so appreciate your support in allowing us to be out there on the open road to visit with you to highlight small towns, big-hearted people, and the important role they play in our most exceptional nation.”
SarahPAC’s new video:  “Always Proud”….. (more…)

Well the big debate is over.  Anyone up for a little late night noshing?  The folks at the Iowa State Fair have just the right, though hardly ‘lite’, treat for you…a Deep-Fried Stick of Butter.  Remember Sarah Palin saying, “I’m excited to try some of that famous fried butter-on-a-stick, fried cheesecake-on-a-stick, fried Twinkies, etc.”  If it’s good enough for Sarah, then I just might give it a try as well.
