SarahPAC's New Ad Bolsters Tea Party As 'Future Of Politics' (VIDEO)

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's PAC, SarahPAC, has released its second video, a fluffy ad-like production that has the optics of a promotional video for the Tea Party movement -- and perhaps a preliminary campaign commercial for a 2012 Palin run utilizing that mantle.

The spot feels stylistically like a carbon copy of SarahPAC's first video, but instead of focusing on her roster of game-changing "mama grizzlies," this creation is focused solely on the Tea Party.

"The Tea Party movement is not a top down operation, it's a ground up call to action that is forcing both parties to change the way that they're doing business," Palin says over a montage of the former vice presidential candidate speaking at various Tea Party events. "It is just so inspiring to see real people -- not politicos, not inside-the-Beltway professionals -- come out and stand up and speak out for common-sense conservative principles."

"This party that we call the Tea Party is the future of politics," Palin concludes.

Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post notes the ambitious tone of the video and surmises that she may be laying the ground work for a White House run:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) appears to be making a purposeful play in recent days to be the face of the "tea party" movement, a strategy that suggests what sort of candidacy she would run if she enters the 2012 presidential contest.

Despite Sarah Palin's undeniable power within the Tea Party, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor maintained recently that she was in fact a leader in the GOP as well. Some of the selected rhetoric in the video appears to be seeking to highlight her often divisive nature with establishment Republicans, however, and may be seen as a move to walk away from Cantor's contention.

Palin's presidential ambitions have been habitually shrouded, though last week she told Fox News that she'd be willing to the presidency "a shot" if the circumstances were right.

Palin introduced the new video on her Facebook page Tuesday in a message that included a rather generic call to arms for her supporters to back Tea Party-type candidates:

And please support commonsense conservative candidates who will work with you, and for you, to provide solutions to America's challenges. Constitutionalists who are running for the right reasons will put our country back on course -- for opportunity and freedom for all.

I think the most obvious strategy of this campaign is not the Republicans running against the President.

I believe it is that the Democrats should be running against Sarah Palin.

What do you think Sarah knows about history, law and/or the Constitution if she can't name a local newspaper in Alaska?

Couple of notes: Those wide angle shots to make the crowds "look bigger than they are" - too funny. The various "shots" and "groups" of people (Some from the Arizona Profiling law rallies not Teabagging Rallys), other shots from her dumb-ass "book signing" - not Teabaggers, some from her RNC appearances - NOT TEAbaggers events.

More distortions and lies from the Propaganda Czars representing the Coprorate Citizens in Koch, Fox, Saudi Royalty, Citibank, Big Oil, Insurance Companies - the New GOP.

Everything the right and the Tea Party claims to be is the opposite of what they really are like and what they believe in. God, this video is so cheesy. It looks like a slightly more expensive infomercial

Newsmax kicks off webcast series with Sarah Palin interview
*
In an email from editor Christopher Ruddy, Newsmax announced that on October 12 it will begin a special pre-election online webcast series which will continue through the day of the midterm elections on November 2.

The premiere webcast event for the webcast series, “Make America Great Again,” will feature an exclusive interview with Gov. Sarah Palin. Ruddy reminds his email recipients that “Make America Great” was the slogan fore Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign. It should be no coincidence, then, that President Reagan’s son Michael will be the series' host. Ruddy promises that in addition to Gov. Palin, other opinion leaders, including Dick Morris, will be featured.

The registration page for the webcast is here:

The Tea Party..... "Our Future"?

You betcha! Teabaggers are going to "ignore" the "lame street" media - because they might ask her questions. They don't want to answer any questions. They are working for the Corporate Citizen that their Republican USSC gave a bigger piece of the country than you and I have. They are all going to go in their caves and hope that a) their constituents don't ask any questions (they won't) and that b) through prayer, they can disenfranchise or disrupt the voting process and STEAL power again.

Gov. Palin returns to Alabama October 7
*
As we reported back in February and again in April, Sarah Palin will deliver the keynote address at Faulkner University's 2010 Annual Benefit Dinner at the Renaissance Hotel and Spa and Convention Center in Montgomery, AL.

The event is set for Oct. 7 at 7 PM local time. Proceeds from the benefit will into a fund for student scholarships. For ticket information, call [phone].

The Birmingham News story contains a small error. The visit will actually be Gov. Palin's third to Alabama (not her second, as reported)and her first to Montgomery. She has traveled to Birmingham twice -- a November, 2009 book tour stop, and a fundraiser for Rainbow Omega in May.

Faulkner University? Is this another Jesus Camp University (Liberty College, Oral Roberts) where part of your indoctrination is to deny evolution, science, history and insert the Religulous dogma of the Reich Wing? I would be "pissed" if my child was going to a University (real University) where Sarah all but makes my diploma "useless".

Congrats FU!!!

Be afraid, be very afraid if the tea party is our future. The only thing worse than the tea party this election is the apathy of those not willing to take the time to vote.

Grifter Queen may be right on this, which is why if we don't want them to destroy our democracy we have to fight them with everything we can RIGHT NOW
