Another Sarah Palin Switcheroo? »
Posted By Eagle_Eye 4 months, 3 weeks ago in Political News
For a while, it appeared as if Sarah Palin's coming out party as a non-governor, freelance Republican crusader was going to be an August 8 speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. That was a logical move for her. If there is a base for Palin, it's Reagan worshipers. These people tend to appreciate politicians who position themselves as freedom-luvin' promoters of good ol' American rugged individualism and who are eager to stick it to those over-educated Eastern establishment elites. Palin at the Reagan Library -- what could be better packaging for her?
Well, it's not to be. As Politico reports, she's skipping this gig. A spokesperson explains on Palin's Facebook page:
As repeatedly stated to several in the media over the last week, former Governor Sarah Palin is not committed to attend the Simi Valley Republican Women's event at the Reagan Library and in fact is not attending the event. Neither the Governor's state staff nor SarahPAC has ever committed to attending this event or speaking at this event, and even requested that the Governor's name be removed from the invitation several weeks ago. The Governor has other work and commitments to take care of at that time. She looks forward to visiting her friends in California soon.
A miscommunication with the Republican ladies of California? Perhaps. But a similar episode occurred several weeks ago. Palin was booked to be the keynote speaker at a big GOP fundraiser in Washington. Then she wasn't. Then there was a dust-up over that. Then she showed up but didn't speak.

That's codespeak for they will shift the balance to their base. While the wages of the average American were stagnant during the Bush years his "base" was thriving. And that doesn't mean the poor rednecks (aka rugged individualists) that voted for him out of fear.
We hear all of this talk of socialism but most don't realize that the top 1% hold about 40% of the total financial wealth. And 30% control about 70% of the wealth in this country. Yet they would have you believe (as would a lot of posters on this site) that these people simply work harder than the rest. Odd that the hardest working people I know are often some of the most poorly paid.
This is weird. Why wouldn't she go? There is something going on in the background with this woman. It just doesn't make sense. Leave the family at home Sarah. We want you to get as much exposure as possible. The more words that tumble out of your mouth, the better. -
