Defeat Socialism in America – Draft Sarah Palin for RNC Chair
The bottom line is this…
America is under attack. The progressive left is attempting to forever alter the foundation of this great nation with their record deficits, record spending, record unemployment, corruption, thuggery, assault on liberty and socialist policies. The Obama-Pelosi Regime must be stopped before they destroy this great nation. Republicans need a great and dynamic personality to lead the party in a vigorous offensive against the Socialist agenda of the Progressive Democrat movement. We don’t have time to waste and we can’t afford to lose this battle against the immoral statists destroying our country.
Michael Steele has made too many critical missteps and has failed to lead the party against the radical Socialist agenda of the Progressive Democrat movement. The failure of Chairman Steele to successfully sell Liberty over Socialism, and to cultivate and facilitate those future candidates who can, is emblematic of the dysfunction of the Republican party, a dysfunction which has over the past four years led the party to near-ruin. We need a true and tested leader.
We need Sarah Palin.
The Republican Party needs Sarah Palin. The country needs Sarah Palin to battle the radical progressives in Washington.
We need Sarah Palin.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION–
WHEREAS the current Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, has woefully and repeatedly misstepped in his capacity as party Chair, failing to provide the leadership and vision necessary to battle the Progressive Socialist Left’s agenda, and
WHEREAS he has also failed to cultivate and facilitate emerging Conservative candidates who are able to convincingly argue that Liberty is superior to dependence upon the State Apparatus, and
WHEREAS Sarah Palin, by way of radical contrast, consistently and enthusiastically argues on behalf of Liberty, Free Enterprise, Individualism, and a small and Constitutionally limited Federal Government, and
WHEREAS she has also demonstrated an innate affinity with the great majority of Liberty-Loving Americans, a capacity to inspire them to action, and a willingness to act as a National Leader on important Conservative Issues,
THEREFORE, We, the undersigned, submit that Sarah Palin, as soon as is practicably possible, ought to replace Michael Steele
And, follow our website -Draft Sarah Palin – and our Twitter account (draftsarah4RNC) for updates.
We Can Do This! You Betcha!

Even if you’re not passionate about Sara Palin, sign the petition any ways- if she becomes RNC chair, it will make the liberals heads explode like in the movie “Scanners.”
Derak commented:
There is no greater conservative power in this political arena than Ms. Palin.
(Rush is a talk show host. He will never enter this arena, self admitted.)
She has the ability to counter the outrageous positions of this sitting president with like kind.
Nothing else will do. No more wishy washy. No more equivocacy. No more mealy mouthed neutralism.
These marxists require a foe of equal worth. Palin is it. Guts and glory. Go for it.
ProLifer commented:
I hope she runs for President in 2012.
Emil commented:
Great idea!!!
Paul_In_Houston commented:
Instead of one of my usual links to my latest post, I’m just gonna present you with the “whole damn thing”, as it notes the kind of thinking I would like to see from the RNC — that is, the fact that we are in a war, and I’d sure like to see someone who thinks it should be fought to be won…
The election this November will be nothing less than a fight for our very lives; this is absolutely no time for any conservative to throw a hissy fit (because his candidate may be less than perfect), and just decide to sit it out.
That’s already happened, and just look where that got us.
Blogger Robin of Berkeley, on the American Thinker blog site, nailed it in A Shrink Asks: What’s Wrong with Obama?…
(The words are hers, the emphasis is mine; the first emphasized paragraph is really the bottom line about what needs to be done.)
“If my assessment is accurate, what does this mean?”
“It means that liberals need to wake up and spit out the Kool-Aid…and that conservatives should put aside differences, band together, and elect as many Republicans as possible.”
“Because Obama will not change. He will not learn from his mistakes. He will not grow and mature from on-the-job experience. In fact, over time, Obama will likely become a more ferocious version of who he is today”.
“Why? Because this is a damaged person. Obama’s fate was sealed years ago growing up in his strange and poisonous family. Later on, his empty vessel was filled with the hateful bile of men like Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers.”
“Obama will not evolve; he will not rise to the occasion; he will not become the man he was meant to be. This is for one reason and one reason alone:”
“He is not capable of it.”
Indeed, as he’s almost promised to use the 2 and 1/2 month lame duck session to ramrod his agenda down our throats (one promise you can count on him keeping), we’ll need not just enough conservatives to begin repealing things; but also enough to override vetoes that are guaranteed in those circumstances.
I’ve been seeing, in a few comments here and there, utter despair of ever getting enough Republicans to have a “veto-proof” congress. Well, just how would you define that? You could have 61 Republicans and fail to override a veto because a few voted with the enemy. Conversely, you could have less than 60 and succeed because a few Democrats weren’t too happy with the situation. In fact, if there become enough Republicans to even pass legislation that Obama would veto, that last possibility greatly increases.
Don’t forget that our very country was seen, by some at the time, as a doomed enterprise from the start; I mean, “Really! Taking on the premier military power of the time?!! Come on, now!”
So, DON’T defeat yourselves before you even start. If all you can envision is futility and hopelessness, please go somewhere else to psych yourself down. The rest of us have a lot of work to do, and it damned well wont be accomplished by those who believe it impossible in the first place.

I won’t sign! Sarah Palin is doing a great job doing what she is doing. She does not need to be saddled with the entire GOP — quicksand — Lindsey, Mitt, Newt, et al — Oh my G_D!
Go Sarah! You’ve won a lot of hearts across party lines — Republicans, Independents, Democrats, Libertarians.
To the GOP: straighten out your own mess!
unseen commented:
As a Palin supporter I hope she doesn’t take this job if offered. she is needed more as a POTUS candidate next year.
The ones pushing her for RNC chair would like nothing better than for her to take the job and remove herself from the POTUs field. Mitt and his friends are pushng this crap.
Recovered Demoholic commented:
@unseen
I think you may have hit the nail on the head.
enoxo commented:
Governor Palin is busy beating up Obama without being tied down, and will be busy next year preparing to run against him in 2012.
Let’s draft Liz Cheney for RNC chair.
Gary commented:
Sorry, but a bad a idea.
You don’t pull the Commander-In-Chief off the battlefield to do a clerk’s job.
Make Mitt Romney the RNC head. He’s as worthless as tits on a boar hog, but he can raise money.
Sarah Palin is the leader of the FREE world. We can’t spare her for this nonsense.
Just call up Ken Blackwell. He should have gotten the job in the first place.
Sarah Palin is a leader. WAY to valuable for this deal.
ogee commented:
I don’t see her saying many truths lately. She needs to speak up about the oil gusher and his ineligibility. Was she threatened?
Gary commented:
Unseen …. you are spot on. Willard’s fanboys are losing their minds as we speak over the fact Chris Matthews is saying she will be the nominee!
It’s hilarious. Romney will never, ever be POTUS. Not now, not ever.
newton commented:
Nope.
I’d rather see Fred and Jeri Thompson as RNC co-chairs. They’d right that ship in no time. Liz Cheney wouldn’t be bad, either. Either of them is plenty good for the RNC post.
I want to see Sarah Palin to have a high position, all right… as President of the United States!
Recovered Demoholic commented:
@enoxo
“Palin is busy beating up Obama without being tied down”
Yeah! And it keeps her options open.
“Liz Cheney for RNC chair”
Great idea. She certainly has a quick mind, and is no shrinking violet.
logprof commented:
Wether she oughta be drafted or not . . . really, could a less flattering picture of her have been possible?!
Hester commented:
“The Republican Party needs Sarah Palin. The country needs Sarah Palin to battle the radical progressives in Washington.”
Good lord, and doom the Republican Party for the foreseeable future? Get real. Sarah Palin is unprepared and shallow. She is not fit to run the country or the RNC.

Yup gotta nuther concern troll over here.
Not too bright barely breathing through the mouth. Repeating nothing but MSM lines. Hmmmm, pupils are fixed won’t dialate and they won’t respond to outside stimulie. O.k. lets call it. It’s an Obamabot. powder is dry
vain commented:
This is one of those joke petition sites right? Sarah is destined for way more than RNC chair.
Aussie commented:
This Aussie says that Sarah is needed elsewhere. I suggest that the draftee should be any of the following:
1. Romney
2. Thune
3. Huckabee
4. Daniels
5. Huntsman
All of these need to be kept busy until after the elections in 2012.
Andreas K. commented:
Palin 2012?
Hell yeah. She’s already scaring all the leftists by just breathing.
Palin as RNC chair?
Hell no. Tie her down with all the RINOs, “reaching across the iles” people and bi-partisan hacks? No, very bad idea.
Glockfixer commented:
Glenn Beck or Ann Coulter for RNC chair would make the libs real fun to watch! Could you imagine their spastic convulsive reaction to either one of those two? Just thinking about it makes me laugh.
Mike D commented:
Does the RNC even matter any more in the conservative movement? I know give money directly to candidates across the country. I say shut the place down.
neomom commented:
MikeD #24, You make a good point. The RNC has not been successful in supporting victorious candidates. Paul, Angle, etc. are upsets that have all been grassroots with direct contributions. The machine is needed to a degree, but the machine needs to be lean and vicious. It is currently soft and plodding.
neomom commented:
Oh Yea, Hell no, Sarah is POTUS material. With is why the bolshiviks all hate her. Liz Cheney would be good.
MaxTruth commented:
The RNC Chair is (supposed to be) a fundraising position. It requires organizational skills and people skills. along with a little strategery. Why waste Sarah’s skills on this position? It would actually diminish her power.
susan commented:
“I won’t sign! Sarah Palin is doing a great job doing what she is doing. She does not need to be saddled with the entire GOP — quicksand — Lindsey, Mitt, Newt, et al — Oh my G_D!”
I won’t sign either! After she raises big money for George Will’s pointy-headed 30% ‘highly educated whites’ aka NE RNC, the pointy-headed snobs will then tell her to ‘leave the room’ or ‘go home and do homework’.
Anyway; the Steele insistent is just a diversion-do not make him or this story more important than it is not.
Sandy from Chesterfield commented:
I have been saying that Sarah would be a great RNC chair for months. Finally, someone heard me!
BarbaraS commented:
I signed but I highly doubt the RNC will allow her to achieve this position. They are totally against her just as much as the liberals. They are afraid she will clean up the RNC nationally just like she did in Alaska and know they will be vulnerable.
snowman commented:
What about canidate Allen, ex-military man from S.C. i think. we need Palin for president. and if i remember right there’s only one good commie. some please tell if i’m right or wrong on Allen, is he a canidate from S.C or N.C..
snowman commented:
Oh yea, i read on commieblaster.com com that Patreaus and Newt have been to a Builderburg secret meeting.
MathMom commented:
The RNC needs to make Republican primaries closed primaries, on the same day as Dem primaries, to prevent the Dems from choosing our candidates. Hugh Hewitt asked Michael Steele to do that, but he wasn’t interested. Would Palin make this change? I hope so. I’ll bet Liz Cheney would!
Taxpayer1234 commented:
Fred Thompson–a much better choice to head the RNC. He has lots of experience herding cats, which is what the job requires. Sarah is doing just fine as conservative gadfly and lib-slayer, and she shouldn’t be confined to managing a party.
donh commented:
Replacing Steele with Palin would be complete hypocrisy and would put John McCain back in control of the primary recruitment process. One of the chief criticims of Michael Steele is that he has been too involved in self promotion appearing on TV to peddle his books. HELLO…Sarah Palin is the Queen of self promotion in the republican party. Also on too many occasions Sarah has snubbed the grass roots tea party type candidate in favor of the republican establishment candidate.
Follow the law commented:
I never met Sarah. But she is perfect for the job. She is conservative, always makes her position crystal clear, looks good and has no fear. I might actually send the party a few bucks if they did something rational like get new Palin-style leadership. I just might.
Tom63010 commented:
I think this is a waste of time. She is a friend or at least friendly with Michael Steele and I don’t think that:
A. Michael Steele would relinquish his position.
B. Sarah Palin would accept the job.
After the RNC put money into Scozzafava’s campaign most Conservative Republicans now donate to individual candidates’ campaigns.
On the other hand it would be nice to have the head of the RNC go on a “rival” network and not agree with every negative premise that the interviewer spews out as a prelude to a question IE
Rachael Maddow:
“Mr. Steele we all know the Republican Party is made up of racists, bigots, homophobes, heartless rich white men that only care about stealing all the poor people money and making sure if they get sick they will die……what do you think of double rainbows?”
Michael Steele:
Yes we are, now let’s get serious, I love double rainbows!
Ladue Pundit commented:
Being RNC Chair and quitting to run for president would bring on more charges of “quitter” for Sarah Palin.
But I think that she’d be a great RNC Chair if she wants the job.
We’d finally have a conservative funneling money to other conservatives.
As for Huckabee, Romney, etc., they’re over. They never were true conservatives.
Valerie commented:
Sorry, not buying into this one. Sarah’s ‘way too good in her current position.
As for Michael Steele, I submit that 3/4 of the bile aimed in his direction comes from DEMOCRATS, not Republicans, including more than one sock puppet at this site.
I had the pleasure of seeing Michael Steele run for the Senate in Maryland, and found him very appealing. The visceral, race hatred poured out by the Democrats in that state was very revealing. So were his speeches.
Michael Steele is a can-do Republican, who is interested in accomplishing some of goals publicly cherished by the Democratic Party (prosperity for the little guy) by Republican means (maximizing opportunity, not “help”).
His concepts have tremendous appeal to that rather large swath of hardworking, conservative, close-knit black, and white, families who should be about ready to split from the Democratic party — if they have a place to go.
hrh commented:
“Wether she oughta be drafted or not . . . really, could a less flattering picture of her have been possible?!”
logprof, now you begin to see who is behind this pushing of Sarah off the electoral playing field to try to squash her public voice.
This is another veiled attempt to get her to sit down and shut up!
I peg Romney, who in point of fact, would be the PERFECT RNC chair. That’s a high an office as he is going to get. But I don’t think he will settle.
He’ll just continue his passive-aggressive take-down Sarah Palin maneuvers. See:
1. Former Romney staffers who pegged Palin for the 08 loss and planted all those gossip rumors.
2. Buying the SLRC vote. (“Evangelicals for Mitt” formerly known [at the 2006 SLRC] as “Tennesseans for Mitt.” ha! ha!)
3. Trying to buy the CPAC vote.
4. …
hrh commented:
Oh, and another point.
Sarah is very much the bridge between the tea partiers and the Repubs.
She’s a Libertarian Republican with conservative governing philosophy.
Whoever’s behind this push is trying to use Sarah to co-opt the tea party totally into the Repub party.
brooklyn commented:
This is not a wise move at all. First off, she isn’t interested. She probably has more ambitious conceptions about her own existence.
Second, Steele is not going anywhere right now.
Third, it is based on fashion, the idea Mrs. Palin is the end all, beat all.
But when we study the basis, it reveals the hype.
This reminds one of the Fred Thompson flop, which romanticized about an average Senator Actor who had the same record as McCain.
Sarah Palin is a celebrity, and will hardly want to take the RNC position. She probably can do more good outside the position.
“hrh” is a prime example of the mindless fashion, trying to ‘peg’ Romney, creating baseless conspiracy theories about the former MA Governor.
Buy the CPAC vote?
Buy the SLRC vote?
Planted Rumors?
The pros and cons about Mrs. Palin are genuine.
But Romney has said very decent things about Mrs. Palin, even recently defending her on the horrid David Letterman Program. Romney showed great class bowing out of the race for the sake of Party and Country with the Maverick in the clear lead. He strongly supported Mrs. Palin as the VP Candidate of the Maverick Ticket.
The ugly bigotry is part of the reason why I write about the hype of a Celebrity like Mrs. Palin.
Mr. Hoft is top notch, but he too, encourages this ugly nonsense from others by overtly promoting Mrs. Palin in a manner that overtly inflates – which others use to diminish the Team. It is not Conservative, and will prove more self destructive.
The fan base is somewhat delusional about it all, vilifying others in the name of the perceived ‘ideal’, all based on IMAGERY.
It resembles the folly of the Democrat LEFT, and is regretful.
But we see the folly grow, just like the reactionary nonsense which took off after 2004, and enabled Harry, Nancy, Hillary, Barack, etc.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Look… You can’t get rid of Michael Steele as RNC Chair! And piss-off all those black folk who would never vote Republican no matter what? Are you crazy???
unseen commented:
Let’s draft the wall street fat cat Mitt rommney for the RNC chair. Maybe he can outsource the RNC RINO positions to China like he did jobs during his days in Wall street.
Rock commented:
Sarah, please do not become part of the old boy, status quo incumbents that direct the RNC. Your place in this fight drives all incumbents from either side crazy. People who cherish freedom over welfare need you to continue the fight on your terms, and not be dragged down by RNC infighting. Either the RNC becomes main stream with Americans and freedom or it becomes irrelevant. Until then they are useless in the fight for freedom.
Chisum commented:
Palin is bigger than the RNC Chair.

jorgen commented:
Good idea, but she is very effective the way she is operating today; she is free to say what she likes and she can support chosen candidates. As a chair, her hands are somewhat tied.
Jane commented:
How about Ken Blackwell. Sarah Palin should continue with what she is doing.
Paul in N.AL commented:
This is definitely a bad idea. She should not be handcuffed by the RNC elites who have been trying to push her down the entire time. This would be a terrible move for her.
Paul_In_Houston commented:
Ok!!!
Apparently, most of you do NOT want Sarah Palin tied down in that position. I get it.
But, remember this; to get to 2012, you have to pass thru the 2010 elections.
If we don’t get any many Republicans as possible elected then, what kind of country will we have by 2012? Will it even be remotely fixable?
If NOT her, then PLEASE choose someone who realizes that we are in a WAR with these democrats, for our very way of life.
DON’T pick someone who’s determined to prove George Wallace’s 1968 assertion that, of the two parties, “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between them!”
There truly is a difference; the type of arrogant snots who feel they must control every aspect of our lives (because we’re too damned stupid to do so ourselves) seem to infest the Democratic party far more than they do the Republican party.
That difference is worth preserving, worth fighting for. Always!
But especially during the Nov 2010 elections.

Paul_In_Houston commented:
any many Republicans
…as many Republicans
You get the drift.
Rock commented:
The uncomfortable truth is the Democratic Party is like a magnet for Socialist, and those who wish to suckle at its teets’. The Republican Party seems to attract those who are lost in the past and business as usual. We live in a new world and have been invaded, and the Republican Party has shown little inclination to change. Of course there are some who have tried to fight the good fight, but then get undermined by Rhino’s who the Party somehow thinks are a good thing, and continues to invite into the fold. It is becoming increasingly clear that the leadership is more about not rocking the boat than about saving the Nation.
DaMav commented:
Sorry but I can’t support this. This would be a real step down for Palin.
The RNC chair should be an expert at fund raising, and be able to glean donations from a wide variety of potential donors. Competency at this and accounting for funds meticulously to build and maintain confidence in party operations should the primary considerations.
Other than that they should learn to stfu, which Steele appears incapable of doing, but which is the very last thing we want to happen to Sarah Palin.
Lola LB commented:
No, no, and . . . NOOOOOOO!!! Palin for President, NOT for RNC chair. Draft anyone else for RNC chair. But leave her alone.
DaMav commented:
In addition I would like to see Malkin and Hoft, who I hold in the highest regard, rethink the whole idea of dumping Steele as opposed to finishing off his term.
The RNC dumping Steele hands the liberals a field day in the media right during the runup to the election. There will be two solid weeks of venting over the story with leaks on all sides serving as juicy tidbits to keep the bad news Democrats off the front pages. It will be a tacit admission that the Republicans can’t run their own house, and the Big Story as presented by the media will be “Failed Republican Affirmative Action”.
The RNC position just isn’t that important right now. Who looks to the RNC for guidance? For leadership? I don’t even donate to them anymore; like many conservatives I contribute to individual candidates.
Secondly, 4 months before an election is not the time to change horses at the top of a fundraising outfit. Especially if it is a polarizing change within the staff ranks. Instead of focusing on GOTV they’ll be focusing on CYA, office infighting, and leaking their side of the story to the media. This could cost the election on a purely operational basis as work that needs to be done isn’t.
There is SO much of importance that we need to get done before November — and afterwards. Michael Steele just is not that big of a deal to be wasting time fighting over.
Never commented:
Good move to draft Palin to replace Steele.
Dumb to dumber.
Space Mountain commented:
I like this website, but Mr. Hoft is dead wrong here. Sarah Palin is already the most powerful person on the American Right. Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have already defended Steele brilliantly. The MSM is still harping on Steele’s “gaffes”, obviously wanting him out. What does that tell you?
I hate to say this, but I wonder if Mr. Hoft is one of those conservatives who don’t want Palin running in 2012, who are trying to find the little lady “something to do instead”? That’s how this “Palin for RNC” talk got started.
Rock commented:
@ Space Mountain #60 I Agree. the Left would love to see the Republicans throw out Steel, just more ammo to paint the Republicans as Racist. The closer we get to the Fall elections the more the Left embraces the race issue as a weapon against us Far easier to attack the Right with claims of Racism than defend a administration mired in Socialist programs. Hopefully Americans will see through lie and defend the Nation. My only other thought on this is I wish the RNC would unite against Socialism and forget internal conflicts.
BurmaShave commented:
I do not think this is a good idea.
How can Sarah run for President, if she is the chairperson of the RNC?
K~Bob commented:
Getting Sarah Palin to head the RNC would be an unforced error by the right.
Mental discipline, people.
* Stop calling Arizona’s law an “immigration” law.
* Stop using the word “Democratic” to refer to Democrats.
* Stop falling for the “Corporate Greed” BS while Dodd and Frank remain uninvestigated.
