Another Facebook “Polling”

Mrs. Smith — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:58:34 +0000

I hear about polls everyday and I truly wonder who these people are that get called. I have a hard time believing what they say as well. So I cruised through Facebook and below you’ll see a list of declared candidates with the amount of the Facebook fans they have following their names.

Mitt Romney 1,090,650
Ron Paul 482,286
Michele Bachmann 462,380
Herman Cain 168,470
Newt Gingrich 146,184
Rick Perry 138,232
Rick Santorum 26,563
Jon Huntsman 13,753

And the lady we are waiting for to jump in…

Sarah Palin 3,229,486

Tops them all!

Let’s Talk Numbers

Mrs. Smith — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 08:04:59 +0000

It seems every other day that you see another poll about who will be the GOP nominee for 2012. Most show Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich as the front runner and Sarah Palin close in 3rd place. I don’t know about you but I always wondered who these people are that the pollsters talk to. I have never been asked for my two cents which is a good thing because if someone called me they’d probably get twenty bucks worth.

At any rate I decided to gauge the front runner in another way… Facebook!

Here are the top three and how many people follow them.

Mitt Romney 445,389

Newt Gingrich 62,559

Sarah Palin 1,900,454

Now who is the front runner? Even if one generously cut Palin’s number in half for haters and the media, while giving Romney and Gingrich 100% of their followers assuming they are all “friendly”, Palin still comes out on top!

My Thoughts on The Tea Party

Mrs. Smith — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 16:23:45 +0000

A friend of mine posted this on my facebook wall:

I was wondering what you thought of all this tea party business. I really don’t know much about it, I’ll admit. I respect your opinion though, so I’d appreciate your thoughts on it

Then the same friend commented:

After looking at your pictures again, I think I just answered my own question. I should have known you’d be right in the middle of it carrying the banner.

This was my response:

If only I had a horse!

In short it’s about the fools that think because we work and go to our kids soccer games that they can do whatever they want and the fact is they were hired to do the right things for all the people. Instead they are busy spending money like crazy… seriously who would hire anyone in our government to be their personal accountant? We’d be sittin’ there like Nicolas Cage!

And instead of honest debate they want to call the people of the Tea Party names…. distracting from the true issues and they are hoping we’ll back down because nobody wants to be labeled crazy, teabagger, or racist. Last time I looked the U.S. debt didn’t have anything to do with mental illness, sucking balls or the color of a persons skin.

This isn’t a football game where it’s the donkeys vs. the elephants. This is we the people vs. the government. This weekend we’ll stuff our faces and watch fireworks but we should remember that BRAVE men and women put their lives on the line so that we would be free from a king. They had this awesome idea that we are the rulers and our elected officials are the servants and sadly that is becoming less of a reality and more of a chapter in a history book.

When someone like Joe the Plumber asks a question and gets an honest answer and our media attack him… that’s not my country!!! When the media protects the government instead of fairly informing the people… that’s not my country!!! When our sitting president stands up and mocks the citizens because they don’t agree with him… that’s not my country!!! When congress passes bills that the majority is against… that’s not my country!!! When a president would rather defend people here illegally than protect the interests of the country’s citizens… that’s not my country!!!

So let them call me a redneck for the things I believe and I’ll stand up proud and say, “Thank you!”

When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson

Have a safe and Happy 4th July!

Another important message from Palin’s Facebook

Mrs. Smith — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:17:54 +0000

This is from Sarah Palin’s Facebook, pass this on to everyone you know.

Nonstop D.C. Nonsense: Drilling Down on Energy Doublespeak

It may be tempting to feel worn down as we take one step after another towards the “fundamental transformation of America” that Barack Obama promised. But we mustn’t let our energy be sapped, even in the face of the mind-boggling leap the Obama Administration just took that fundamentally shifts us towards more reliance on foreign energy sources. Hang on to your hat and take a look at this.

Months ago I discussed Washington’s decision to allow U.S. dollars to flow to Brazil for that nation’s off-shore oil drilling projects, while D.C.’s attitude towards America’s own offshore developments appeared less-than-enthusiastic. We gained hope though when our President promised in his State of the Union address that he’d be “making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development.” Most of us optimistically assumed that “making tough decisions” meant allowing at least some offshore drilling. In fact, on national television that night I said that the President deserved kudos for acknowledging our need for domestic energy development in his speech.

Turns out that was just more drilling doublespeak: America has been snookered again.

While everyone has been focused on Obamacare, the Obama administration took advantage of America’s distraction and quietly said that it’s planning to place a hold on offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf until at least 2012.

At a time when our country is desperate for job growth, deficit reduction, and energy independence, it’s simply astonishing that the administration refuses to allow additional offshore drilling, even while supporting energy development in foreign countries.

According to a study by the American Energy Alliance, opening the OCS to drilling could create as many as 1.2 million new jobs and add hundreds of billions of dollars annually to the US economy. Those are real American jobs – and great American opportunities – that can’t be outsourced. Offshore drilling would provide billions in revenue for our states, allowing them to reduce their budget deficits without raising taxes. It would help reduce our trade deficit, which spikes with each rise in the price of oil because we’re so reliant on foreign sources of energy. And because we have some of the best environmental standards in the world, we should be drilling for our own oil instead of buying it from countries with less stringent standards.

When the Obama Administration first delayed offshore leasing on the OCS to allow for “an extended public comment period,” the comments it received reflected what all the polling tells us – that Americans overwhelmingly support offshore drilling. (Curiously, those pro-drilling findings weren’t heavily publicized by the Administration and the press.) Americans understand that a true “all-of-the-above” approach to energy independence must include responsible development of our conventional resources. Even as we develop alternative energy sources, we’ll still rely on oil and gas for decades to come. If we don’t drill for it here, then we’ll just have to keep buying it from others.

Using executive power to lock up energy resources ignores the will of the American people who want to develop those resources and know that we can do so in an environmentally responsible manner.

Ignoring the American people is never good politics, but whether it’s energy independence or health care, our leadership in Washington is tone deaf to the commonsense solutions that Americans want.

Watching this potentially earth-shattering energy policy decision made quietly while health care transformation distracts us, it makes one wonder what else our politicians are up to. An old trick is to intentionally consume attention with a “crisis” so as to sap the public’s energy, and then to conveniently push through rash measures that would receive great scrutiny at any another time. Remember Rahm Emanuel’s Saul Alinsky-style of political operation: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”

America, we must resolve to stay engaged in what our politicians are doing. Don’t get tired and give up. All political power is inherent in the people. America can only be transformed into something unrecognizable if we get so tired that we give up our political power and close our eyes to what is going on. Find the energy to stand for what you know is right, including supporting leaders who don’t engage in energy policy doublespeak.

Sarah Standing Up for Those Who Stand Up for Us

Mrs. Smith — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:26:22 +0000

Via Sarah Palin’s Facebook page:

First the Obama Administration opened up the possibility of prosecuting CIA interrogators doing their jobs seeking information from terrorists. Then they tried to go after the Bush Administration lawyers who acted in good faith to protect us in the months after 9/11. Now some of the military brass are court-martialing three brave Navy SEALs for allegedly throwing a single punch at Iraqi terrorist leader Ahmed Hashim Abed. This is wrong. The Washington Times got it right: Save the SEALs.

These brave warriors belong in combat, not in the courthouse. They captured the most wanted terrorist in Iraq. We may never know how many other heroic missions they undertook on behalf of our country. The charges should be dropped, and they should be returned to their unit – with our gratitude for their service.

Stand up for the SEALs who are standing up for us!

Meghan Stapleton Resigns

Mrs. Smith — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 18:16:31 +0000

Meghan Stapleton was Sarah Palin’s spokesmen and has choosen to step down saying that she would like to spend more time with her family. Meghan leaves us with this…

“She is in control of her own message, Stapleton said, from her home in Alaska. “Her Facebook and Twitter is her own. I find out about Facebook and Twitter when others email me. She does it on her own. She is in control of her own message. No one has a better voice than the governor and no one can speak better to her than the governor.”

Stapleton also said, echoing her former boss, that the political establishment and the media fail to understand the former Alaska governor.

“I think what some people still haven’t fully embraced is that she is so different than any other politician and the politician everyone is used to and used to reporting on have a massive infrastructure with no immediate connection and she has that immediate connection and doesn’t want to lose that immediate and direct connection to the people,” she said. “Reporters and others in the establishment and the elite cannot just grasp it….She thrives on that connection. It’s a great asset.”

“It’s a great part of who she is and why people love her,” she added.

The Pendulum Swings – Scott Brown Wins Massachusettes

Mrs. Smith — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:13:00 +0000

Sarah Palin sends her congratulations to Scott Brown on her Facebook page

Congratulations to the new Senator-elect from Massachusetts! Scott Brown’s victory proves that the desire for real solutions transcends notions of “blue state” and “red state”. Americans agree that we need to hold our politicians accountable and bring common sense to D.C.

Recent elections have taught us that when a party in power loses its way, the American people will hold them accountable at the ballot box. Today under the Democrats, government spending is up nearly 23 percent and unemployment is higher than it’s been in a quarter of a century. For the past year they’ve built a record of broken promises, fat cat bailouts, closed-door meetings with lobbyists, sweetheart deals for corporate cronies, and midnight votes on weekends for major legislation that wasn’t even read. The good citizens of Massachusetts reminded Democrats not to take them for granted.

Americans cheered for Scott Brown’s underdog campaign because they viewed his candidacy as a vote against the Democrats’ health care bill. You know that there’s something wrong with this legislation when opposition to it inspired a Republican victory in a state that currently has no Republicans in Congress and last sent a Republican to the Senate nearly 40 years ago.

Clearly this victory is a bellwether for the big election night ten months from now. In the spirit of bipartisanship, let me offer some advice to the Democrats on how to stem this populist tide. Scrap your current health care bill and start from scratch. We all want true reform, but government mandated insurance is not it. Scott Brown campaigned against this top-down bureaucratic mess. We need common sense solutions like reforming malpractice laws, allowing people to purchase insurance across state lines, giving individual purchasers the same tax benefits as those who get coverage through their employers, and letting small businesses pool together to provide insurance for their employees. Focus your efforts on jobs, not on job-killing legislation. Such a change in approach would show Americans that you’re listening.

My best wishes to Senator-Elect Brown. When you go to Washington, may you never forget the ordinary citizens you met while driving that truck through the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
