The Girls: Sarah Palin
MRC's newest production 'The Girls' counters the impression created by other lady-led talk shows like 'The View' that the left-wing mindset is the only one worth discussing. Maria, Melanie, and Penny will take on current issues from a conservative perspective, and their insights may not always be what viewers expect. In Episode 1, The Girls discuss Sarah Palin's impact on politics, and the liberal media's visceral loathing for her.

So are these girls Saul Alinskites or not?

“They (the Liberals) vilified her (Sarah Palin) … in a way that I don’t think that I have ever seen in my lifetime … I mean how do you fight something like that?”
Well, in fact Sarah Palin is showing us the way, by standing up against the vilification and ‘refutiating’ the smears with extraordinary guts and courage.
So what can the rest of us, who are repulsed by the Saul Alinsky tactics of the Liberals, do? We can support Sarah Palin.
These girls say, on side of their mouths, that they understand why Sarah Palin stepped down from being Governor (namely, to short circuit the means by which the Liberals were hog-tying her and trying to pauperize her). Then, on the other side of their mouths, they say they do not support Sarah Palin for future office because she took the necessary measure to stop barrage of phony and debilitating ethics charges. (Let us remember that the corrupt Dems, with hypocritical chutzpah, were essentially crucifying Sarah Palin with phony ethics charges, and using the super tough ethics law that Sarah Palin had crafted, promoted, and signed to control real ethics violations.)
So are these girls going to play into and support the vilification of Sarah Palin or not?

But if most people could think clearly they would eventually realize that Sarah Palin resigned because she thought it was best for Alaska and the USA, and didn't worry about what it might do to her "political career"
Yeah, we can't have someone like *that* in office, who only thinks of the country and not their own career. /sarcasm off

Submitted by Dan The Man 2 on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 2:43pm.
I believe Palin quit because it was the most expedient way to kill two birds with one stone. She effectively stopped the state from having to defend her and they could concentrate on state business. She also stopped the hemoraging from a personal standpoint and allowed her to move more into a positive light. Look what she has accomplished since resigning.
Will it hurt her, yes but only from those who want to hate her anyways or those who will not look at the descision in an objective manner.
I would look at her more closely if she runs for national office such as President as I would scrutinize any canditate. The problem with human beings is they are basically lazy and will defer to a source they "trust" for information rather than investigate for themselves. And there are a whole lot of people who trust the nets.

Please refer to the discussion below by RefudiateObama2012 and me. As I say in the last paragraph, one needs to understand the whole scope of the second phase of Palin vilification by the Liberals and their media in order to fully understand why Sarah Palin resigned her Governorship. For her not to do so would make little sense.
“[Palin] seriously damaged her credentials by folding.
It is a conundrum, and people shouldn't be faulted for being ambivalent about it.”
That is an interesting statement. In fact I do fault people for being ambivalent about it. Being ambivalent about it is essentially equivalent to being ambivalent about the Liberals and their media using Saul Alinsky smear tactics. This is the point I tried to make above. I admit the matter is probably too complicated for the quick treatment that I gave it above.

There is almost no, honest, common person, views on TV or good, all sides included discussions. Take "The View" as an example, 3 libs vs a rino/conservative
Bet this show would get more viewers than "The View" which on a good day maybe has 4 million viewers, as 296 million Americans have other things to do.

Submitted by Bruzilla on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 10:45am.
If Palin had fought the good fight in Alaska, and served a full term (preferably two), and had a solid record of accomplishment for her efforts, I would vote for her in a second. Sadly, she did choose to quit, for respectable reasons, which justifies her decision but doesn't excuse her limited experience. As Obama proves everyday... you can't get your experience while you're on the job as POTUS.

Submitted by cajun2 on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 11:12am.
No offense intended but where does one get prior experience as POTUS?
It was Ronald Reagan who said....Americans elect an ordinary man, one of their own, as President. He then must RISE to the level of the position.... There have been times when experience in politics has not been proven to be a benefit to being President.
Experience in the legislative process is important as is education, patriotism, understanding the American people, honesty, and values that represent our society. Studying the history of 43 presidents has given me a more broader view of expectations. Leadership, ability to govern, the ability to select the most qualified to delegate the various duties, common sense, the willingness to honestly report directly to the people without a TOTUS are all qualities that we have forgotten because of growing technology and incorrect focus on a candidate's elitist education.
A candidate's view of the world, respect for the American people over their own needy ego, leadership, common sense, honesty and Partriotism are more important qualities I look for in a potential candidate. Management skills are most important in being able to select responsible government positions with the most qualified individuals who share the same views as the President is to me one of the most important qualifications.
Living here your first 18 years should be required too.
Submitted by Red Jeep on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 12:06pm.
The first 18 years of living in this country I think should be an important requirement. It is when you learn about patriotism, your country, and the American way of life. Duringthose first 18 years you say a lot of Pledge of Allegiances, play a lot of American sports, experience Scouts, 4-H, apple pie, McDonalds, your first job and so many other things our current president did not.
But I think the main requirements to seek any political office is an office seeker who is a sober person who seems to be a person of common sense. What annoys me is people who think politics is so complicated that a person needs to acquire special experience to be a politician, that being a politician is a skilled profession.
Being a doctor, a surgeon, a musician, a carpenter is skilled. Being a politician is not. How a bill becomes a law is not complex knowledge.
What does take skill is governing for the common good of all, but that is learned through living and maturing. I think most hard working Americans can govern as well as today's "professional" politicians.
That's why over the past few years I have become convinced that term limits is the only way to insure we are governed by our fellow men. I don't want to see any professional politicians in office.
Bottom line I think Sarah Palin is more than qualified to serve in any political office even the presidency. She is certainly more qualified than the person who is president now.

Submitted by dculling on Fri, 11/05/2010 - 11:37am.
For the most part I agree with needle. I would like to add that Sarah stepped down also because she believed it was in the best interest of Alaska and she certainly knew it was not in the best interest of her own political career. That's called integrity. The lack of integrity in politics is probably THE cause of most, if not all, of our problems with government today.
The fact these ladies did not get this bothers me and suggests I will get little benefit from their opinions in the future.

These three women need to get a clue.
Do either of the three believe she should have gladly been forced into bankruptcy?
Do either of the three believe that the bogus ethics complaints would have subsided if she stayed in office?
Do either of the three understand that ethics complaints can still be filed for two years beyond the date she left office?
Do either of the three understand that by remaining in office, Palin was also subjecting her staff to massive legal fees to defend their actions?
Do either of the three understand that the twenty-five ethics complaints costs the state over a million dollars?
Do either of the three understand that her whole staff was forced to spend their time responding to these complaints, as well as the hundreds of FOIA requests.
Do either of the three know that the Alaska Democratic Party launched a "Keep Sarah Palin Out Of Public Office" campaign to push the barrage of ethics complaints and to encourage media to publicize negative stories?
Do either of these women believe a politician should bend to the will of his/her political enemies.
Why don't these three "Sarah-supporters" explain how they would have dealt with all of this if they were in her shoes?
I guess it's easy to give opinions when you have no requirement of accountability.
Thank you for writing this.

Thank you for writing this. You flesh out what I was trying to address in #1 above.
Upon thinking about this some more, there were two main phases of Palin vilification by the Liberals. The first phase started the instant that she was announced as McCain's VP running mate.
(I think that after McCain saw how the first vilification phase was progressing for a few weeks he regretted that he has picked such a lightning rod. If McCain were still the man of integrity that he tried to project by constantly referencing his military career, he would have lashed out at the Liberals and their media for grossly crossing the line. But he did not do that. He had made far too many compromises for far too many years to take such a stand. He is no longer the man his once was. This is not something that to be particularly angry about, BTW. What else should be expected of someone who has lived in DC for 30 years? What could be more soul destroying than Washington DC?)
The first phase of Palin vilification was what everybody in the country saw and experienced throughout the 2008 campaign and even for a month or so after that. The second phase Palin vilification was what occurred in Alaska – and out of the sight of most of the nation – after Sarah Palin returned there to resume her Governorship. That involved a vast fishing expedition to gin up as many frivolous ethics complaints as possible for the sole malevolent intent of driving out of public office the one particular citizen who had done more than anyone in the history of Alaska to clean up its politics. That says all you need to know about the Liberals and their media.
Both phases followed the evil patterns of Saul Alinski, who certainly was not interested in the betterment of mankind, except as it conformed to notions of tyrannical elitists.
I suspect, RO2012, that the "girls" were principally aware of, and focused on, the so-called first phase of Palin vilification. You describe the second phase of Palin vilification, which is important to understand in order to fully understand why Sarah Palin resigned her Governorship. For her not to do so would make little sense.
