The Lesson in the Betrayal of Sarah Palin

4063654016?profile=originalRush Limbaugh on his radio show discussed an article which stated that there is no respected voice in the national arena articulating Conservatism. Such an advocate for Conservatism is crucial to reversing the direction of America as Obama drives us toward socialism while low-info voters gleefully sing Kumbaya in the backseat.


Well excuse me for pointing out the obvious, but we had an extraordinary advocate for Conservatism and look what happened to her. Judas on our side betrayed her – sold her reputation for 30 seconds of fame and favor with the media.


Even now, folks on our side are still beating up on Sarah Palin saying – Palin has lost her appeal – Palin is unelectable – Palin wasn't smart enough – Palin wasn't prepared and etc. So, this is how we treat our heroes.


Many Democrat Party politicians/advocates are immoral, liars and cheats. And yet, they are treated like super-stars by the media. Democrats have the backs of their associates, no matter what. For example: Democrats never rebuked Clinton for receiving oral sex from an intern in the Oval Office. They simply launched a campaign claiming that any man in Clinton’s position would have reacted like him. Think about that folks, Democrats and the media lowered the standard of national leadership behavior to cover their guy.


We Conservatives act as if our representatives must be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ – perfect in every way. At a Conservative's slightest misstep, Republicans/Conservatives trip over one another backing away from the individual in an effort to get out of the media and Democrat's line of fire.

Clearly, advocates of Conservatism are expected to walk on water by both political parties.


Word on the political street is we need a respected advocate for Conservatism to reach low-info voters. While I do believe a new voice will emerge, I wonder who could be better than Sarah Palin? Will we betray our new Conservative hero?


Inevitably, Palin's humanity was revealed; she was not perfect. But still, Palin is extraordinary and will be a tough act to follow.


Allow me to recap. Immediately following her amazing VP nomination acceptance speech, the media/the left went crazy consumed with hatred and a desperate desire to destroy her. Why? Palin was a beautiful, smart, articulate and strong woman who boldly touted traditional values and a love for God, family and country – all of which are anathemas to the left.


No tactic was too low to discredit Palin. Thus, the left even attacked Trig, Palin's Down Syndrome child.


Women in my family parroted the media talking point that Palin was bad for women. I thought, “You idiots, Palin is the epitome of everything the left/Democrats claim to desire for women – successful inside and outside of the home.”


While governor of Alaska, the left tried to drown Palin in lawsuits. Palin resigned to save her state from the cost and aggravation. The left's mantra was Palin is a quit-er and republicans/conservatives joined their chorus.


Another thing the left successfully did to discredit Palin was to brand her “stupid”. Who among us could survive every word out of our mouth being judged from a point of view that you are stupid? Meanwhile, Obama ran around saying America has 57 states and the media completely ignored this faux pas, along with several others by Obama.


Despite relentless attacks by hostel interviewers, in every TV interview, Palin always stood strong, boldly touting Conservatism. Man, you got to love this remarkable woman.


Also, completely ignored is Palin's tremendous charisma which I witnessed first hand on numerous occasions. We launched one of our Tea Party Express national bus tours in Searchlight Nevada - a huge dust bowl. Palin was our keynote speaker. Twenty-five thousand patriots attended with many camping out the night before to reserve their spot. Through the windows of our Tea Party Express bus as we arrived, I watched seniors who parked a mile away using walkers to make their way to the event.


The admiration for Palin felt a little like the scene in the Bible in which a woman said if I can just touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole. In all of my 400 tea parties and 9 tours across America, no one, I repeat, no one affected audiences like Sarah Palin.


When this new conservative voice emerges on the scene, will we stand behind our hero no matter what, barring something immoral or criminal? Or, will we expect our guy or gal to be the second coming of Jesus. Have we learned something from the Republican/Conservative betrayal of Palin and their passivity and culpability in the media's viscous vile destruction of her image?


Sarah Palin, on behalf of We The People, I wish to thank you for your profile in courage, trumpeting Conservatism (God, family and country).

  • I keep sayin it and I keep getting beat up for it...but I'll say it again.

    For us "true conservatives", who believe we live in a Constitutional Republic, governed under Rule of Law, the Republican Party is done.  It has been corrupted, co-opted and conscripted to where it is basically a part of the Left.  The old analogy "two bodies with one head" applies.

    It's time for a third party.  How about Col. West and Sara Palin?  And...we need to clean out Congress while we're at it.

  • SARAH PALIN IS A TRUE AMERICAN THE LIBERAL NEWS DISTROYED THIS WOMAN AND FOR WHAT . DO THE IDIOTS THINK BIDEN IS BETTER HE`S SO DUMB OBAMA HAS TO TIE HIS SHOES . LOOK AT OBAMA THE NEWS SAID NOTHING WHEN HE CAME OUT WITH THE 57 STATES. A CORP.MAN A CORPSEMAN AND HE`S THE LEADER OF OUR PEOPLE. BOY DID THIS ELECTION OPEN MY EYES IF YOU TELL ENOUGH LIES YOU CAN GET ELECTED. ALL THE 7TH GRADE DROPOUTS THE UNEDUCATED BLACKS AND LATINOS CAN ELECT THE LORD OF THE FLIES AS PRESIDENT

  • I often wonder why women attacked her.  She is the ultimate feminist.  Raised to love the outdoors in wild Alaska, participated in sports in school, dated and married her highschool sweetheart. They had five children.  The oldest served in the military and the youngest has down syndrome. They own their own businesses.  They hunt and fish.  She got involved in her local community and rose to become governor and cleaned up the corruption. Furthermore she is beautiful and seems very happy.  God forbid she lives the American dream.  By the woman's movement standard, you would think that she would be their hero.  Nope.  She is not an angry, bra-burning leftist tart who thinks she is owed something. Just her presence and life calls out their complete hypocrisy. The National Organization for Women and other liberal groups are a complete joke.  They have destroyed incintive, personal responsibility and self reliance.  She embodies what real America is all about. Thank God for Sarah Palin.

  • Amen!!!

  • Thjanks LLoyd for another great article.   My family are all ears when Sarah speaks.  I believe she is the

    center point of our hopes.  Even if she does not run for any office, she can spark up a crowd and was missed during the last elections.   I pray she comes out with the Tea Parties in 2014 as she will make a world of difference.   She is loved because she is not afraid to speak the truth. 

  • I would vote for Sarah Palin in a snap!!!  The Republican Party is just disgusting. It makes me sick when I see how they do not stand up for our own!!!  I grew up Democrat. My parents were Kennedy Democraps I mean Democrats. I left the Dem. party several yrs ago, then I was a Rep. Well that is no longer the case. I am so disgusted with the so called leadership. I have come to see them as Dem's. It's pathetic. So I am an Independent. I am so troubled about what has been happening and the fact that they do not listen to us. They say one thing when they are running for office and once they win they totally do the opposite. SO they pretty much LIE. I am sick of it. I feel like there is no one there who is fighting for us!! And the ones that do or will and have been honest with us are shunned by the Good Ole Boys Club! Can you say Karl Rowe!! and the rest of the worthless, gutless good for nothing idiots. I feel like we have no one that is going to do what they said they will do and we will continue to be lied to and pretty much screwed.  I believe in Sarah Palin and if she does run for President she has my vote.

  • Lloyd is no Juda, nor I'm I. Sarah Palin is still our best hope and choice for President by far.

  • God bless you Lloyd! You are absolutely 100% correct.

  • As far as I see it Sarah carried McCain. There are so many Rino Republicans in the GOP it will be hard to get a real Conservative such as Sarah to run..BP

  • Sarah is the one bright star in the Republican party. Keep the Tea Party active as it's all we have left.
