A funny thing happened on the way to 2012
Posted by Roderic Deane on September 21, 2011
If you’re at all like me, you’re starting to get antsy about the 2012 election. The economy seems to be going nowhere, jobs are not being created and our officials in Washington are mindlessly playing cat and mouse games, or, as Rush calls it, “Chess”. The better question is: Who is the cat and who is the mouse? I tend to think that Washington in general seems to think they are the cat and we, their constituents, are the mouse.
Au contraire! (That’s vichy-speak for “on the contrary”.) I see things differently. I see Washington as the mouse and all of us conservative, Tea Party types as the cat. We’re just waiting for the opportunity to pounce, but alas, we have to wait until next year.
Or do we?
What should we make of the current GOP field? What should we make of the spectacle of debate so far? In a word: NOTHING! The current GOP field is wasting its powder in a comical, yet tragic, circular firing squad. They just can’t seem to rise above the politics of the establishment’s nomination process. Further, they just can’t seem to distinguish themselves to the electorate (us) in a meaningful way. How sad….
As we watch this tragedy of the absurd, we hear the pundits in Washington suggest that more fodder is needed for the cannons of mediocrity. If I were a potential candidate thinking of getting into the race, I’d take pause before jumping in right now. Why participate in a circular firing squad? Why not wait until the smoke has cleared and you can see who has survived the month of September?
No, in my book, this is a waiting game. Although it’s always been a game of “last man standing”, it doesn’t have to be. The person who defines the game in his (or her) own terms can win. It just takes a steel spine to believe in your tactics. It also takes an ability to convince your troops to keep their powder dry.
Sarah Palin is playing the most significant cat and mouse game in our collective memory. While extolling her troops to keep their powder dry, she has served up a magnificent feast of issues that resonate across recent history. With her Iowa Tea Party speech, she turned the popular narrative to a discussion about the perils of corporate, crony-capitalism. Those perils are unfolding before our eyes as we learn about Gardasil, Solyndra and, most recently, LightSquared.
Nope, it appears that Sarah Palin has hit the nail on the head. The current field of GOP candidates is well-advised to follow her lead, or, of course, they can continue to blaze away in their current circular firing squad.
This reminds me of a play, only this time, the title should be “A funny thing happened on the way to 2012!”

Sarah Palin is smarter than current field of candidates for President in 2012! That is just simply a fact, that will become apparent after she enters the race and wins!

NEWS FLASH!
After this comment you should do a major article on this. Random House has published a probably literary hoax with McGinnis book, and note the timing of the release.
Breitbart has just published killer evidence, an e-mail by McGinnis himself. Click link below. With Palin, you get 24,000 e-mails and can’t find a thing. With McGinnis is only takes one.

A really good post. At first I was excited to see the discussion and debate, but of late it seems more debating goes on “between” debates and rather than elevating any one the between-the-events events seem to diminish the front running candidates. In the midst of this Herman Cain remains out of the circle but offering up good ideas and a steady head and hand in the midst of the razzel dazzel!! Sarah Palin can lean in and take a close look at all the folks on the stage and the people and the ideas that can best be used in our next administration!!! Run, Sarah, run!

I liked this post.. great job.. because it is accurate and true, in every sense..!!
Yes, while the Washington Politicians, and the liberal media, the crony conservative journalists, and the crony capitalist Republican Party RINO’s, – all think they are playing the American Patriotic People for fools, when it is in fact, they who are the fools.. playing themselves.. The NY-09 special election, that just happened, that elected the first Republican Party politician in 90 yrs, is just the latest in the new American Revolution battles, that we have been winning, since Obama swearing into office on 20 Jan 2009.. which we have won, from 2 Nov. 2010 Mid-terms, til today, will soon culminate in a final victory over these Socialist-Marxist enemies of America, by the only real Constitutional Conservative Politician in America, Gov Sarah Louise Palin.. a she will go the White House to clean House, not to be part of the crony capitalist politics as usual BS.. and this is what scares these liberal people, on both sides of the political aisle, to death.. why, because they fear losing their access to power and the Tax Payers Money.. and is why they all hate Gov. Sarah Palin, and want to see her personally destroyed.. except fore the American People. of course..
